Going along to get along is another old failed idea

The idea of going along to get along used to work. And it was so American as it advanced union Americans as well as business people as we elevated ourselves, together. That this idea may not work now, as being a failing idea now, was superceded by those who can sneeze, baloney. Said another way, we have more in common than not, and our leaders in business and unions better promote this idea before it is too late.

Of course what is too late? How about no job? How about no welfare to make up the difference. (The question is begged as to who is going to hang around and pay the taxes and borrowing that pay for the present welfare). How about politicians and governments that promote jobs by USA standards, and defend the jobs and standards., and even generate taxes that pay for welfare.

It is most difficult to decipher why so many Americans cannot tell the difference between idealism and practicality, and know the difference between the two. The historical friction between unions and management is now another failed idea if Americans just want to be Americans, and do a good job that sells throughout the whole world. Even the historical level friction between liberal types and conservative types is another failed idea. Rather we should count on deploying our “sales forces”, as opposed to “government forces” just to be Americans. And we make good high quality stuff that other people will buy for as long as we can sell it.

Our hegemony as a super power has its limits. Our motivated citizens who wish to tear down our hegemony also have their limits. And many citizens, all to often with kids, also have their limits. Somewhere along the way, there should be a fourth option. Working together for our common interests is the big deal. The situation is much more serious than just the old failed idea of going along to get along.
