About Us
The Real State of the Union is strictly non-partisan. We don’t care who you vote for, but we do care that your votes are based on facts and understanding, instead of the shameless propaganda and irrelevant rhetoric broadcast by politicians, political parties, and their supporters.
We do our best to be objective, thorough and to provide relevant supporting data for all conclusions about our economy.
Our standard is much higher than to be fair and balanced; it is to seek and speak the truth. This should be the standard for all responsible journalists.
About the Founder
Will Kaydos has extensive experience as a manager, executive and consultant in performance management and measurement, strategic planning, and finance.
Will has launched missiles at Cape Canaveral, designed complex management systems, developed a large manufacturing organization, served as the Executive Vice President of Finance for a $160 million corporation, and helped many companies and government agencies improve their quality, productivity, customer service and costs.
His three business books, Exceeding Expectations; Measuring, Managing, and Maximizing Performance; and Operational Performance Measurement: Improving Total Productivity have been praised by prominent executives and managers around the world.
In Thin Ice - and Melting Will identifies where our economy is broken and then recommends bold steps we must take to rebuild our economy, repair our government’s shaky finances, and reclaim our government for the people it is supposed to serve – all Americans, not a chosen few.
Will’s education includes a BSEE from Clarkson University and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Gainfully employed since the sixth grade, Will put himself through college with scholarships and work. Like many people with a similar background, he has a Ph.D. from the University of Hard Work and Hard Knocks, but he has received many benefits from the educational and career opportunities available to him.
This is why Will wants future generations to have at least the same opportunities that were available to him and why he is determined to do what he can to rebuild our economy and reclaim our democracy.
