Great stuff jefe. Does anything actually get done about these issues once the meetings are over? Do you think the male reporter for FOX network who interviewed you got past sixth grade?

Can I help (with the issues not the reporter)?

I read you comments and am filled with hope. The first step to a solution is to discuss the issue and brain storm with those that can make decisions and be a part of the solution. I commend all of you there for doing that.

The key missing ingredient from my stand point as an individual contributor to the economy working for a major American corporation is we need true leaders to run our corporations and not managers.

True leaders have integrity, honesty and the drive and desire to do what is right and best for the company. They have ethics, morals, and scruples. They would never be able to sleep at night if they walked out with 250 million dollars and the company they left behind went under financially.

From a political stand point our politicians here in the U.S. have to stop the Democrat vs Republican banter and role up their sleeves and lock arms as Americans and do what is best for America. No more bills filled with pork barrel spending and bridges to no where or worse irresponsible bailouts given to CEOs that have already proven they do not know how to run a company by already running it into the ground.

True leaders again would never let that happen. They would be ashamed of their colleagues and fight to get the wasteful spending removed.

Thank you for allowing the insight into your trip. It is a pleasure to read your insights.

I am sure you are already familiar with AZIGG, which focuses on international business in the State of Arizona and assisting local companies grow internationally even during this current economy. While growth is important, it should not be at the cost of your ethics.
