Fixing What Needs Fixing in the National, State and Local Economies

We still have a great need as concerned citizens to be productive and supportive on the need for positive and constructive support for Fiscally Responsible Financial Legislation. At the Federal, State and Local levels we face great challenges and unfortunately (for National Finances) an obvious need to now support what wasn't supported in the Bank Bailout. The needs of Individuals, Communities and Businesses - who while indirectly benefiting in theory from the protection of the  financial system are now paying high prices in a sinking Economy, with massive Job Losses, the break down of many key elements and an absurd notion that all is well. It may be showing signs of improvement but we need real plans for the National Economy, Jobs and Future Finances that work.

At times we need to reiterate that we are a Nation and when some of Us fail We all fail, it's not about marching on and leaving behind massive segments of Our Population, it's about making bridges and building roads to the future, a Robust National Future where we all have roles to play as a team. We may disagree but at the End of it All Democrat, Republican, Independent or other parties of Political viewpoints - we are all Americans and we need to stand together to succeed.

We look at it from a simple perspective where the obvious answers include the fact that we need to support the National Economy with Agriculture, Manufacturing and Services to broadly represent additional key sub components that include Energy, Health, Math, Science and more. We need to find the efficient pathway where Our Investments through Taxation into the National Trust of Public Finances is treated as a Fiscal Fiduciary Trust with a targeted Financial goal of efficient and effective spending for or Common National Best Interests.

Our Goal is to be Non-Partisan and in any direction it's clear that voting is important this year as most are leaning towards a centrist view that it's time to get to Fixing what's wrong in Public Finance. It will be no easy task, but we need to push for the direction of Sustainable National Finances and keep our eye on the Domestic Economy, we are participants in the World Economy - but Our Greatest ability is to deal with our own problems and to be certain we can be a better assistance to others once we've faced our Domestic Economic challenges with courage and action to bring back a plan for prosperity even in it's already changed form.

At the intersection of Accounting, Finance, Regulations, Executive Branch Rules and Financial Legislation we will try to better understand where Accountants and Analysts can bring value to Public Finance. We have seen some of it already and we hope to promote the positive Solution Set of a knowledge base to support better Fiscally Responsible Fiduciary Legislation that is supported not only with good intentions but with good rational basis in Financial Theory. Economists and Statisticians can help forecast, but still if your looking to manage scarce resources then you need the help from the Accountants and Analysts - we are working in our way to promote constructive ideas and thoughts that help Our Leadership for a better National Financial Future where decision making is better connected to Financial Impact and a target of efficiency in resource allocation. It's a big objective but the place where we all work together is where we can really win on Public Finance.

State of the States for ALL 50 and Special Initiatives for NY & CT

Today was a productive day in finding more relevant Facts on the State Level Debt issues and Financial Challenges. We were able to identify the National Governors Association as a strong resource to provide us overview on State Level Debt and Operations issues and to Learn of the State Level Executives Branches initiatives on efficiency. We tweeted the corresponding Findings on our Twitter channels and updated them as links to our FB Page DCarsonCPA.com for those with interest in helping out.

We see the close relationship between your Business and Individual Taxes and Regulatory Accounting as  a strong reason to look for additional understanding in trends that are influencing your Tax Bills and our shared Economic Future. We hope that you agree that the understanding of National, State and Local Finances is a worthy cause. We are counting on you to work with us on our mainline CPA Services and Business Consulting work so we can continue this additional work here.

The Reports we have linked are great starting sources on State Level Finances - The 2011 Govenors State of the State Addresses Briefing consolidates the view points of all 50 Governors in overview, a report on the condition of the State current as of Fall 2010 (the report only is issued by NGA in the spring and fall of each year) provides most recent useful state finances in overview for the nation. Lastly in what was a great find for us we found the NY State Executive Branches SAGE intitiative to look for efficiency savings in the NY State Government and the State of Connecticut Report that was issued to the Governor, the CT Senate and the CT House at 12/15/10 pointing out findings on efficiency opportunities for the State of Connecticut. See our FB Page for these links at FB Page DCarsonCPA.com. If you like the information we are working to bring you, please feel free to post a "like" on our FB page, we value your encouragement.

The National Govenors Association being the Executive group, as we previously had learned there is also the National Conference of State Legislatures, State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF), The Council of State Governments,  and NASACT (the National Association of State Auditors, Controllers and Treasurers) which are all further complimented by the State Government Affairs Council and likely other additional agency or state specific groups. We are just begining to identify the many resources that exist for greater information on these groups that provide excellent resources for learning more about State Level challenges with Deficits and Debts. As we continue to identify relevant helpful resources we will build out a corresponding index for our work efforts to support National, State and Local Finance awareness for our mutual benefit on the Nations Future.

There's alot to be considered here, and this is exactly why we need to work together to make this process easier for those who are interested in helping our nations economic and financial future. Follow with us as we continue to grow in knowledge of Governmental Accounting, Reporting and Finance in the greater interest of helping to think about our National Economic Future.
