Goal based decision is how choices are made.
Some goals are more forward facing and obvious and others are behind the scene and less obvious, even to the choice maker them selves. Many of these choices are just labeled as habits that are reflective of a choice made long ago that is rarely changed, addressed or challenged. This is why many people really don't change unless a life changing event happens that surfaces many of those "habit choices".
The title of this blog is Principles, Politics, Priorities and Plans and as you can see in all of those 4 P's we all have many choices. We can all agree that many choices in those categories are very much predetermined by some prior choice we made long ago that may or may not be based on validity, truth or fact.
So what do we need? A life changing event of course. Things like 9/11 was a huge life changing event for many even outside the rubble or far removed from the personal loss and death. You see the first World Trade Center attack didn't move very many because it wasn't life changing. The second and more successful attack was in many ways for many people.
Many of the things that are affecting and challenging us today were events that happened gradually in a habit forming type of way. Gradually the national and personal debt had risen to the point of out of control, the housing market prices continued to soar, the personal liberties and personal choice slowly slip away, a loaf of bread prices 30% higher and so on.
When things are gradual we adapt and justify based on our personal goals, principles and priorities until a breaking point is reached. The main challenge is that the breaking point is so subjective and unknown while the gradual slipping happens. Then all of a sudden you as an individual, family, business, organization, government or society are smacked right in the face with it. Such as the housing bubble and the debt bubble which the affects still have not surfaced yet. This is because the society and government have gradually propped up the affects of the crash. Therefore the pain has really only been gradually felt and when that happens we are not really forced to change due to a life altering event.
When you can make just as much money on extended unemployment as you can at a new start up job offering of 8-10 dollars per hour, why would you go get a job? When you can sit in your home and not pay rent or mortgage for months and even years knowing at the end of the day your not going to be punished for the failure to pay, why leave your home and start over? When as a country you can print money, cause inflation, borrow from yourself and pay down your debt with inflated dollars, why stop spending?
What are our principles?
What are the Priorities?
What are the Plans?
Politics will be as usual until something truly life changing happens in politics. The number one challenge for that to happen is they are all in it together. Yes they all are in it together because at the end of the day front and center or in the deep reaches of their minds they all want to be re-elected. They all need people to support them and they all need money to drive their campaigns. The only event that can happen is a complete reset of the system where we actually follow the constitution where the elected officials are not special and do not get any special treatment. Where they are held accountable to the overseeing of the constitution and it's principles.
Bottom line the producers must stop producing and go on strike.
The great need to stop propping up the system.
Well that is not going to happen. It is in the best interest of the rich and well to do that the government works. They have to much to lose if the looters are able to physically take and plunder. At the current status the plundering only happens periodically and only in percentages of their already large incomes. This is why JP Morgan loaned the federal government treasury 100 million dollars back in the 1800's.
The only way this government and society will change is if the producers and everyday workers stop carrying the country. The middle class everyday Joe and Jane need to revolt by sitting it out until it gets bad enough where the non productive and rich who need workers finally agree to getting back to an effort based reward society with personal choice, freedom and protection of the pursuit of happiness become paramount again.
