My List of Bad Ideas

I believe the US. is in a terrible mess!! And the people are angry, upset, stressed, divided, burdened, scared, and struggling financially. The causes are inflation, crime, illegal immigration, Biden’s policies, a dishonest media, Twitter, war in the Ukraine, and Federal debt. We got in this mess because of many bad ideas and actions by our elected officials. This is my list of bad ideas that got us into this mess:

• Open borders allow unvetted, uneducated people into the US. It also allows criminals, guns, drugs, and disease into our country.
• De-funding any law enforcement department. We all know crime rises as a result!
• Bail reform puts violent criminals back onto the street. Very bad idea!
• Teaching sex and gender in public schools. Why?
• Declaring roads, trees, parks and buildings as racist! This is crazy!
• Allowing people to destroy buildings, cars, stores, statues, etc. during riots. Same with threats of violence, and bodily harm to anyone.
• Electing political activists to public office at any level. They are narrow minded, inexperienced, uncompromising, and often very stupid.
• Dropping “merit” as a selection criterion for admission to colleges. America needs top talent to survive. The SAT and high school grades have been successfully used in the US for 90+ years. Math is math! Same with English. M.I.T uses the SAT’s.
• Cancelling student debt is a bad idea. The middle class will pay the bill. Much of the debt is for medical degrees and law degrees. Hmmm! Biden just wants to buy votes!
• America is not systemically racist! If one group of citizens under-performs another group, the causes are often effort, skills, talent, choices, parenting skills, and laziness!
• Diversity is a myth. There is absolutely no evidence that a diverse team delivers better results. Does anyone think adding more white players to the NBA team rosters will make the teams more competitive? And not all women or Blacks think alike.
• Casual dress Fridays was a bad idea. That led to sloppiness, irreverence, lack of personal discipline, laziness, and lower levels of respect. Sad but true!
