Where's Ross Perot When You Need Him?

Remember back a few elections when there was a short, loud, proud independent guy causing a ruckus? Ever stop and think that he was exactly what this country needed? And still needs?

Ross Perot may not have had the “Presidential look” per say, but he had all the right answers to all the questions. He could have balanced the budget, and our economy would be flourishing right now. He was a very smart business man that knew how to handle money, even on a large scale. The man, back then, was worth 4 billion dollars. He made that money on his own, and budgeted his money with prestine accuracy. This country is a business. This world is a business. And we passed up on a president that could run this business effectively, with a huge profit.

But we passed on him. Which isn’t really that shocking when Clinton and Bush Sr. has/had a lot of experience in the ways of governing, either local, state or on a federal level. It’s hard to contend with that. But then, during the 92′ debates, Perot slapped them both in the face with the greatest “smack” to ever come out of a debate.

ROSS PEROT: “I don’t have any experience in running up a $4 trillion debt. I don’t have any experience in gridlock government, where nobody takes responsibility for anything and everybody blames everybody else.” http://www.pbs.org/newshour/debatingourdestiny/dod/1992-broadcast.html

Words so true, that it sent a shiver down the spines of the other two candidates. Ross Perot had them by the cajones on that issue. A man with an overabundence of common sense and business sense, with great plans for this country to bring us back to a world economical giant (more so than we already were/are).

But we said nay. We let the last chance for “Change”, in a long time, slip through our fingers. He could have and would have stood up against the political robots and made changes for the betterment of the USA.

On the issue of war and foreign relations, he had that down too. He believed that you don’t stick your nose in other people business unless it was effecting your own. You don’t go to war without the approval from the people. Congress should not be the deciders when it comes to what effects the people. Congress is corrupt with everyones hand in each others wallets, and they don’t have the people of America in mind when making decisions.

Perot was a great man that sadly, was before his time.
