In leadership training they told me to always come from a place of abundance, as opposed to scarcity. We can easily grow enough food to feed everyone on earth if we come from a place of abundance, as opposed to letting them starve as we come from a place of scarcity. And sometimes the way to improve things is to think big, even when times are hard and we are tempted to say that we cannot because of poverty. We can live in a world of abundance, and unlimited opportunity, or we can live in a world of scarcity where it just continues to get worse. And with leaders, say for a company, they want people who will make the company grow and prosper, not people who will keep downsizing it until it does not exist anymore. People want leaders who improve things, not make things worse.
With the bad economy, and with the giant debt of the United States, it would be so easy for everyone to downsize everything out of existence, which would only make things worse, at a time when we need to do the opposite and grow and prosper and improve things instead. A great depression is as much a state of mind as it is a reality, we cannot fall into that state of mind and we must avoid that reality.
We must come from a world of abundance and unlimited opportunity, and grow and prosper, and improve things, we must be creative in good ways and we must think big, and every problem creates an opportunity for people to solve the problems, and where there is room for improvement there is opportunity for people to improve things, etc etc etc.
I read that fewer people are willing to get student loans because they are afraid they will not be able to pay them off, and they are afraid to accrue the debt for an education, and that is totally the wrong way for them to be thinking right now, and at this time the USA needs to have a better educated and better trained population, and there will be plenty of opportunity for good educated people to solve problems and improve things after they receive an education. In my opinion the people of the United States need to enter college at higher numbers, not lower. Things are not going to get better if we have a lesser educated population, that is going in the wrong direction, we need a higher educated population instead. So we need to get them thinking from a place of abundance, so that we can achieve abundance, and a better economy and a better world.
And the whole thing with the debt of the United States could be solved if we come from a place of abundance. Much of the land of the United States is government owned land, we are talking abundance, and that land could be sold to private people, and that alone would pay off much of the government debt. The government can also make money with gas and oil leases at a time when gas and oil are at all time high prices, and drilling for natural gas and oil in the USA would be a good thing for many reasons. And that would help reduce the debt. Also, gold is at an all time high price right now, and there is gold on much of the government owned land, along with other precious metals. And that would help reduce the debt. If we come from a place of abundance then we can reduce the debt easily. Then, we monitor the spending of the government better in the future so that we can pass down surpluses to future generations instead of deficits.
Salute,
Tony V.

Tony, tax the rich, or we'll be another Greece, minimum hourly wage people, and pensioners, can't support our government alone! It's obvious, those with money, power, and control, don't want to do anything, that creates jobs!

Haz, the students at Pepperdine University, and at Harvard, and Notre Dame, and other universities, are learning how to create the jobs of the future, our people here in the USA must continue to strive to receive an education, and we must all come from a place of abundance as opposed to scarcity.
And taxes, as well as government spending, need to be reduced at this time. And I am sorry, but we cannot afford to be giving money to Egypt and Pakistan and to other foreign nations at this time, and we cannot afford to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan, they have to start helping themselves.

And...
I gotta make a video about Skid Row, and put it on You Tube. We are the wealthiest nation in the world, we give trillions of dollars to foreign countries including to people who do not even like us, California is a wealthy state, Los Angeles is a wealthy county, and yet Los Angeles continues to send the homeless people to Skid Row. And I know what it is like to be sent to Skid Row, as a social services office in Hollywood gave me a voucher for the Russ Hotel on San Julian right in the middle of Skid Row, and I still have the map that they drew me on a piece of paper of how to get to Skid Row. We are rebuilding Iraq and Afghanistan, and we give all kinds of money to other nations, and yet we allow our own people to be homeless out on the streets, and in Los Angeles the homeless people are sent to the worst place I have ever seen. Maybe I can make a video and help to shame people into improving the situation, and maybe I can help to wake Americans up and get Americans to help our own people here in the USA before we give one damn penny to some foreign nation.
And also of note, is that the scumbags whom we have in our government now are talking about withholding money from the retired people and from the disabled people here in America, while we give tons of money to foreign countries, and they are insane. We must elect a new government in 2012. We must kick them all out.

As everyone else, you forgot our SIXTEEN MILLION $$$$$$, to Israel! (daily, love offering)! Tony, do we support the Vatican? Then why Israel?

Haz, we are a Christian nation, and Israel is the Holy Land, I do not personally have any Jewish friends, but I love the Jews, though I would love to see the Jewish community in Los Angeles do more to help the homeless people of Los Angeles and to help to end Skid Row, Skid Row is HORRIBLE and should not exist. The Jewish community in Los Angeles is very wealthy and powerful, and they could help to end Skid Row and help the homeless people of Los Angeles.
But yeah, Israel is one of the few I support, along with Colombia, and a few others. Though we should not be giving money and military aid to foreign countries while we have homeless people on the streets of the USA, we need to help people right here in the USA.

Here are some thoughts on Ron Paul's ideas versus Rudy Giuliani's ideas (If Rudy decides to run for President)
It upsets me that the USA was downgraded from AAA credit rating to AA, and the debt certainly is an issue as we look at the candidates for the upcoming election. And the AA rating means we will pay higher interest rates to China as China has been buying our debt. Certainly the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have contributed greatly to our debt, and are part of the reason why we were downgraded. Rudy Giuliani truthfully realizes that our economy is connected to our security, and that the wealthier we are the more secure we are. So, we need to improve the economy, reduce the debt, and become wealthy again, so that we can be more secure, and also so we can afford to be involved in world affairs when the need arises. The evil people in the world would love for the good people to stay out of world affairs, but that would not make for a better world. It would help if there was some reward for the good we have done in the Middle East, such as expanded trade with the region, and lower gasoline prices, which would help our economy, but that has not happened. And while we are getting poorer, our enemies such as the communists in China and the Muslim Arabs are getting wealthier. So, we are truly between a rock and a hard place, and what Ron Paul says about bringing all of our troops home would save us a lot of money, and it would help to reduce the deficit spending, and if I think like a poor person, as right now our country is in debt, then it makes sense to bring our troops home, and to stop giving money to the Middle East, and save money, but if I try to come from a place of abundance then the answer is to improve the economy, get wealthy again, and get our AAA rating back, so that we can afford to be involved in world issues when we deem it necessary. I want to hear more of what Rudy Giuliani has to say.

I suppose it's easy to critciize students for not being willing to accumulate lot's of debt,for non exisitent jobs, but then again if they don't go to school they are looking at min wage jobs, unless they have connections somewhere. And of course personal debt is part of the problem. It's a form of slavery where your whole future depends on your credit rating. Ever hear of an employer teaching personal finance to the employees? Of course not. For the most part they want their employees in debt. Keeps them in line...........
And on the education subject, some very wealthy people want it to change.
Billionaires for Education Reform
Never before were there so many people, with such vast resources, intent on dismantling public education. What does this mean for the future of public education? What does it mean for our democracy?
