Washington's Performance Evaluation

A performance evaluation is a systematic approach used to determine the effect that an employee exacts upon our common goals. This is often used to determine what resources are needed to improve this performance. By resources I mean, training, equipment, personnel or money.

When applied to our elected employees in Washington, the evaluation is somewhat saddening.

The numbers are in on our officials, this performance evaluation leaves us with very few opportunities.


Our personnel (all elected officials) have either; not been informed, not acted, not acted strongly enough, or chosen to ignore the current financial state of this country in lieu of personal enrichment.

The warning signs have been there. If our current financial state was a surprise to them, they have not done your job.


Washington has fallen far short of any reasonable expectations.

What remains from our point of view, is what should done about these substandard employees.

Keep in mind that they are aware of our expectations.
They are aware of our current needs.
They do possess the knowledge and resources to accomplish our requirements.

One can only surmise that, by choice, they have abandoned our goals for their own.

We cannot offer enough money, training, equipment or personnel to help them perform to our requirements (they have it all).

This places us (the employers) in the unenviable position of making a choice between their continued employment, and terminating (firing) them, followed by a replacement that understands the need to satisfy our common goals.


As we move forward with this Blog I hope we will all realize that we do indeed posses the power to fix Washington. There will be bumps in the road. There will be resistance to change. There will be times when "we the people" will need to give a little more of ourselves. Ultimately we need to retake control of our government.

This is the greatest country on earth! We posses the ability to aid the world in many ways but without gaining control of our government we may find ourselves simply as a historical footnote as a failed society, destroyed by our lack of control of our own employees.
