This past weekend was a break from all the hubbub, or was it. One of my relatives is an uber car salesman who recently has gone to a leading dealership. There we talked on the merits that car sales are a leading economic indicator and Tom went on with dealers pay a significant amount of money in inventory programs and they need to move cars quickly. I summed up that if a dealers lot was full of cars that means bullish thoughts relating to sales thus a returned economy. Tom agreed and added that currently most cars have to be ordered because car dealers are too hesitant to fill their lots right now.
In the news we are also now hearing about the failures in schools where the arts and PE programs are again in trouble statewide. This on the heals of Governor Brown announcing steep cuts and raising taxes.
Again I say we have another plan here as with Mitt Romney six years ago facing these exact same issues. Can we talk about instituting universal health insurance in the same breath as lowering taxes, and fully funding schools? I say we can because Massachusetts proved it is reining in unemployment and has a very healthy workforce; almost 94% of the population.
As everyone departed, I asked if maybe this would be a good time for me to throw in my hat into a recall for the governors office because we cannot wait until 2014 for the next election cycle.
