If you think your saving the country by not stimulating the economy because the debt will kill us in the long run, You are only half right. If You think that enhanced debt reduction is a way for those that make money to stealing yours you are right. CNBC had a blog post explaining debt and deficit along with who owns it.The deficit refers to the difference, in a single year, between government receipts and spending. National debt is the sum of all outstanding debt owed by the federal government. The conservatives take these definitions and do what they do best, demonize a normal system belief or occurrence. Some of these statements they use are. “China is taking us over by buying our ... Read More

Yesterday In response to President Obahma’s predictable decision on The Keystone XL Pipeline the Republicans as usual gave a scathing account of his politicizing the outcome. In addition to wasting our money and time by summoning Hillary to be berated by them they will ignor the possible danger to the water supply of a large area of the country. Boehner(Ohio),Griffin(Arkansas),Cantor(Virginia),Hensarling(Texas 5),Lipton(Michigan),Terry(Nebraska 2),Capito(W Virginia),And Blackburn(Tennessee) each gave an official response . They accused the President of playing politics. Seems to me that when only 2 of these folks are from states where the pipeline will pass, neither of those from a... Read More

I read an article written by Chris Moody on The Ticket today. It was written about the ideas of Govenor Perry wrote from his book “Fed Up”.

If he only wished to change or eliminate amendments the we could call him an originalist. In his case however he wants to change structure.

Instead of the three equal ... Read More

Remarks to Speaker John Boehner and Freinds

I see where John Boehner is back on the its our way or shut the country down road. It has been common knowledge that some of the new Tea Party group were not going to vote to increase the debt limit. You have argued for the raising of the debt limit in the past so we know you can get the between 78 and 100 of your own party votes you will need to get it done. You and your party are in a no win spot. If you don’t raise the debt limit your actions will increase the deficit by accelerating the time our interest rates will go up. If you raise it many of you will not get through your own primary. Please keep up your rhetoric about Medicare and Medicaid going. Your party has really missed th... Read More
