I viewed Ross Perot’s recent presentation "Challenges Facing Our Country," online and agree with his perspective that defense of the family is vital to the survival of the nation. However, I disagree with his suggestion that the nation rebuild its public school system.
The government schools are not only destroying true education in America, but they are also attacking the family values that Perot says he favors.
Sex education is but one example of the many problems connected with public schools that strike at the heart of core values and morals. The pervasive drug problem is another, and so is the presence of gangs — with the accoutrements of droopy pants and expressionless stares — that traipse across school campuses these days. Both should be on Perot’s charts! If one’s child is lucky enough to escape intimidation or even physical beatings, he or she is still fed toxic doses of socialism and propaganda about the homosexual life style.
Our economy cannot be restored to full health by funding another makeover of the government system. We have already pumped millions and millions into the over-vaccinated arm of the public schools with no improvement in scholastics, or morals and values. America’s government schools rank at the bottom of the list, academically, of all the industrialized nations despite massive infusions of money.
The real indebtedness of the U.S. government is over $50 trillion, and growing steadily by $3 to $4 trillion a year, when future Social Security and Medicare obligations are factored in, says former Comptroller General, David Walker. This debt is closely tied to the international bankers and their inflation-creating machine, the Federal Reserve.
Unfortunately, Perot didn’t mention the Federal Reserve as the culprit of our nation’s economic woes. And he didn’t propose any drastic reduction in spending, or trimming of the gargantuan government bureaucracy. So his proposals are no different than those of typical politicians who pontificate up and down the campaign trail.
Perot had the perfect opportunity to present the history of the global money-makers who have orchestrated this entire economic mess. He would have then placed himself in the same category as the late Murry Rothbard, or the dynamic free-market advocate Congressman Ron Paul.
H. Ross Perot was once a unique alternate-choice candidate for the office of president and he knows better than to suggest that the solution to failed government programs is to throw more money at them. Perot is dishing out the same hackneyed political drivel we have come to expect from the major political party politicians.
