Team USA: divided we fall, as a United enterprise we rise. Now is the time for positive solutions. What's happening, in my opinion, is the classic "Who's on First" by my favorite comedy team of Abbott and Costello. With "Who" on first, "What" on second, "I Don't Know on third", "Tomorrow pitching", "Today catching", "Naturally Hitting", and "I Don't Give a Damn at shortstop", you have the GOAT comedy act. Until the game of politics came along. In baseball, a game I have played up through High School, at Shortstop like the classic You Tube version of America's team sport. While laughing through the irony of how things get twisted and to go no where, it reminded me of America's partisan politics. Known as the golden rule ... those with the gold shall rule.
Who's (Biden) on first and How (Progressives) on second, with a "I don't now what to do (Congress) on third. With Tomorrow (Trump) pitching, Today (Musk) catching and "I Don't Give a Damn" (independent voters), at Shortstop. With this lineup does team America have the right ownership (taxpayers, stockholders, creditors and bankers) of the team (Congress) with "who's on first" (Biden and Harris) as management? Since ownership (the wealthy) and designated hitters (Pelosi and Schumer) applying the golden rule ... those with the gold (Big Media, Big Box, Big Social Media, Big Unions, Big Pharma Big Energy and the Big Brotherhood of Democrats versus the Republicans), shall rule.
Then how's that working out? Whereas, in baseball, the gold looks to pitching and home runs to win most games, when it's the walks, singles and doubles that win a championship, according to Money Ball experts. It's small ball, the little things that come together to win 22 straight, as did the down and out Oakland "A's". What are the winning small ball things that America's team needs to focus on to win the global trade war?
The scoreboard shows Team America losing its preeminence in trade, technology and the dollar bill, as reference currency in world banking, by shifting our wealth and economic resources overseas to foreign nationals. What can we do to stop this slide, considering inflation and stagflation are our worst enemy. Kill it where it starts. First and foremost it's leadership, money management, accountability then analytics. We've been told in politics to "go along to get along" to get enough capital backing to win in politics. In baseball that would mean buying the players and gambling on luck. How do we turn a loser into a winner? Use Money-ball.
1) Stop making the mistakes in executing a game plan (platform). "Who's on first" is a good example of a confused former VP and Senator, demonstrating how easily it is to get into a loser's loop. To the point of never getting to second, let alone home plate. Biden has no game plan but whispering, Harris has no business talent but laughter. Our current political state of affairs suffers from un-party gridlock, no financial plan and a deep pocket that ran dry, just like the Chicago Cubs owner. The Rickets family invested millions to win the 2016 World Series, then lose the future to money-ball.
2) Ownership (American voters) need a platform, the President picks a team (cabinet) with talent based on past performance (business skills) that keep America Great around the world. The winners (Congress) are those who have money ball skills (free enterprise business ownership) that it takes to Keep Team America a nonpartisan Enterprise. With experience to be winners (not just Harvard attorneys, Ph.Ds and bankers) who have a proven background, to produce a winner in trade, enterprise, STEM and finance. Otherwise divided into the McCoy's and Hatfield's we fall, as a nonpartisan Congress we rise. The tale of three parties. AEP a swing vote for consensus rule.
