Senator Biden made a quick visit to Georgia, and pledged to work for an aid package worth one billion dollars. We all know that one billion will turn into ten billion once the reconstruction mismanagement starts.
How dare he!
Where is all this money coming from? What is the rest of the world contributing?
The british pound and the euro are at all time highs against the dollar, yet it is us that spend like drunken soldiers.
So, now, Senator Obama plans to take money from those that earn it, and give it to those that don't. Do we really want a government deciding how much profit a business should earn, and confiscating the "excess" amount?
Oh wait, taking away money from those that have it, and giving it to the poor....isn't that what we have been doing since the 40's? And hasn't that been a real success.
It doesnt take a lot of analysis to figure us out. Here is how we behave.
1. We react only to a crisis.
2. We pretty much fall for what ever a politician promises that translates into immediate gratification.
3. We hate government, but expect it to save our ass when in trouble.
4. We stay interested/upset over any issue only as long as the media focuses on it.
5. We choose our leaders based on their position on issues that really dont affect our daily lives.
So, Senator Obama's solution for $4.00 gasoline is to air up our tires and get tune ups. Do you suppose he even knows how much a tuneup costs. And, imagine if millions of cars suddenly arrived at tune up shops today.
He really has no clue of what he is doing.
Saw the pictures of the long lines at INDYMAC on the news yesterday.
I don't feel worried, however, because ex Senator Phil Gramm has reported that it is in our collective imaginations. You know, the old 'mental recession' thing - a mirage on the TV screen and all.
By the way, the Emperor has beautiful new clothes, too!
Just Thinking
I read the paper today and the news unnerved me!! It turns out that McCain's being advised on econmics by none other than good ole boy and ex-Texas Senator Phil Gramm.
If Senator Clinton wants to do something about the high gas prices she certainly could introduce legislation to do so.
Why is she not doing something now that she has some quality time on her hands? Why is she not rallying the other democratic senators to do something? Why is she not pressuring the President to do something?
It is interesting how she sold herself during the primaries. No end to what she would do for the little guy. Now that she is out of the selling business the tune changes.
Not surprises, but always sickening.
Both Hillary Clinton and John McCain are in favor of a gas tax holiday.
Stupid idea, but that is not the point.
If they really, really believe in this nonsense, all they have to do is propose some legislation. Remember, they are senators. They can actually do that.
Will they. Never. \
What is wrong with the voting public. Why do they believe in anything some politician says just because it means some more beer money.
Are we really all just Homer Simpsons???
It’s the end of the year and a good time to take stock of what we’ve accomplished over the last year. What were you hoping the Democratically-controlled Senate would have accomplished in 2007?
