I received a nice comment the other day.
Hi everyone. John Daly here with some informed not inflamed – and the reasons behind my postings.
So here’s the compliment. The friend said I follow your sites. It’s like a newsfeed. But I don’t know where you stand on the issues. And he’s right. You probably don’t know where I stand on issues. The reason: it doesn’t matter where I stand.
The important thing about being a journalist, and we are all journalists now if we are on social media, is to take the complex and make it understandable.
That’s why I try to concentrate on the problems and the solutions on my sites.
Again, check out my Facebook and Twitter news sites. Facebook is inform non-inflamed while Twitter is john daly News.
If more of us use the template of solutions not entertainment than we will get results from our lawmakers and the media.
Let me go over what the five main problems are.
The first is an aging society. Over the last 15 to 20 years baby boomers have moved from earners to retirees.
That means less economic activity from a big portion of our population. It also means they are relying more on entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security. At the same time, these programs are running out of money. You may think you have paid into Medicare. But you have only paid in 1/3 of what you will use. The remaining two-thirds is being funded by younger taxpayers.
