Actions Speak’s insight:

The top leader for government employees determines the acceptable culture of how employees act by their words and actions.  The top leader in this case consistently points the finger and blames others for anything that is negative. 

Will lower level employees point the finger higher?

Ted Cruz Runs Counter to the Senate’s Courtly Ways

See on Scoop.it - Critical Courage Shortage for Elected Leaders

Senator Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, has quickly made his presence felt with brash moves that have raised the hackles of colleagues from both parties.

Actions Speak’s insight:

 

Isn’t it refreshing when someone asks the tough questions, does some real digging to discover things behind the typical spin, and has the courage to not feel compelled to ‘get along’ when this great country’s future is at risk?

How many existing people in congress and the administration do you think have the courage to lead and go against ‘the politically corect way things are done around Washington DC’?

If your thoughts result in very many people, then why is this great country’s future at risk because the members of the ‘club’ can’t make prudent tough choices supporting our founding principles and rule of law?

Actions Speak’s insight:

 

Have you heard enough times yet that anything President Obama proposes will NOT add any more dollars to our staggering debt level?

Have you heard or seen any media outlet or Congress member relentlessly challenge him to put his numbers on the table so we can all see the projected costs and sources of funds to pay for anything he proposes?

Don’t you think it is time for him to provide the substance and drop the ‘words, words, just words’?

Isn’t it time to get serious about energizing our check and balance systems to hold the President accountable to substantiate his rhetoric?
