Cartwright: We’ve discussed this extensively before. I believe we debated it at length at one of the champagne summits back in October. The Republicans had the Democrats and Mr. Obama over the barrel back in October with the government shutdown and they caved in. They got scared that the media was blaming them and that … Continue reading 2013 Symposium: We Are Currently $18 Trillion In Debt; What Should We Do?

2013 Symposium: Do You Have Any Mid-Term Congressional Elections For 2014?
Cartwright: I hope the Republicans keep the House of Representatives and retake a majority in the Senate in 2014. At least we’ll have a chance of emasculating the Obama administration and keep it from doing any further damage to our nation and our economy. However, I would point out that I think the DNC is … Continue reading 2013 Symposium: Do You Have Any Mid-Term Congressional Elections For 2014?
2013 Symposium: Should The Congress Repeal Obamacare?
Cartwright: Yes. Obamacare should be repealed. However, there are parts of the law that a lot of people like such as keeping kids on their parents insurance until they’re 26 and ensuring that insurers don’t turn you down because of a preexisting condition. Let’s repeal Obamacare but keep parts of the law that people generally … Continue reading 2013 Symposium: Should The Congress Repeal Obamacare?
Top Problems Plaguing America by Digger Cartwright
America is in crisis. We are a nation in decline as a result of society’s own hedonism, greed, and self destruction. Our problems are rooted not only in our dysfunctional political system but in the dysfunctional state of society itself, both of which have become increasingly more dysfunctional over the last decade. Americans’ perceptions of … Continue reading Top Problems Plaguing America by Digger Cartwright
A Collaboration between Digger Cartwright and Thinking Outside The Boxe: What are your thoughts on the partial government shutdown and the situation in Washington?
Anyone who knows me or who has read some of my comments and posts will know that I have tremendous disdain for the politicians in Washington and the dysfunctional way they behave. They’re like a bunch of little kids arguing on the playground. I think they forget that they’re there to do the work of … Continue reading A Collaboration between Digger Cartwright and Thinking Outside The Boxe: What are your thoughts on the partial government shutdown and the situation in Washington?
Symposium 2012: What are your thoughts on the debt ceiling debate that will be forthcoming in 2013?
Orlando: It’s the perfect opportunity for the Republicans to stick it to the Democrats and the President. They need to say they’re not going to increase the debt ceiling and force this issue of massive spending cuts. Let the government shut down. It sure as hell isn’t functioning well as it is. It’s like we’ve … Continue reading Symposium 2012: What are your thoughts on the debt ceiling debate that will be forthcoming in 2013?
Symposium 2012: Can America ever achieve energy independence?
Cartwright: Not as long as Americans are obsessed with driving their cars and aren’t willing to make sacrifices. Hell, they bitch when the price of gas goes up ten or fifteen cents. The way we’re going there is absolutely no hope of achieving energy independence. However, I have had several proposals to help curb our … Continue reading Symposium 2012: Can America ever achieve energy independence?
Symposium 2012: What are your thoughts on the Congress and the job it is doing?
Orlando: Let’s see. The Senate hasn’t passed a budget in years, and the House keeps giving Obama everything he wants. The House was ready to take one for the team in this whole fiscal cliff debate. So, I’d say they’re an abject failure just like the last Congress. They’re all up there on Capitol Hill … Continue reading Symposium 2012: What are your thoughts on the Congress and the job it is doing?
Symposium 2012: What role did the media play in the 2012 election?
Sydney: There can be no doubt that with each passing election the media plays a growing role and definitely is a factor that influences the result. During the Presidential campaign TV stations and newspapers were packed with commentary analyzing every step that each candidate made, and every word that they spoke. It would be impossible … Continue reading Symposium 2012: What role did the media play in the 2012 election?
Symposium 2012: 2016…Are you willing to make any predictions on the Democrat presidential nominee and Republican nominee?
Sydney: On the Democrat side Hillary Clinton is probably the standout candidate at the moment. She is vastly experienced in politics. Her stint as Secretary of State further bolstered her credentials in the important area of foreign relations and should serve her well if she does decide to run for the Presidency. She has also … Continue reading Symposium 2012: 2016…Are you willing to make any predictions on the Democrat presidential nominee and Republican nominee?
