The day after........

So here we all are the day after our Congress saved our country from total and utter financial meltdown.
I hate to sound so negative about it, but they had months to do this and instead concentrated on being a bunch of children looking for TV time.
I guess that there had to be some sort of deal made, but I didn't see any real significance to this package. The real cuts and responsibility still have to be served up by the Super Congress?????
I have to agree with Judge Napolitano with the regards to as to the legality of this special commission. I see that there will be some Senators and Congressmen that won't like having their rights and abilities to do their jobs (or not) away from them.
Just what we need down the road. The legal fighting will only escalate and our World market compadres will just keep laughing at us for so much fighting going on within our own government.
China and apparently several other world powers don't think too much of our system and certainly think we all look like a bunch of dip sh*** for the fiasco that this all turned out to be.
States are already freaking out as well as the Pentagon over the perceived loss of revenue that is coming. I say we should have been more responsible prior to this matter and there are a few states that are still in fine shape. Utah is one of those.
The sensationalistic manner that Congress handled this only serves as a reminder that they are mostly just there for themselves and their special programs. They really have forgotten who put them there, and why.......
I really think it is time for a non-partisan approach and I really don't care how many toes get stepped on, the PEOPLE have had enough of this crap.
It is time for someone to give them a big smack upside the head and remind them to stop the grandstanding and get to work!!! Do your jobs and no one gets hurt, ha, ha, ha.......
Really, this is the time. If not now........when?

The ongoing Budget saga

Like all of you I can't help but see every day the disappointing progress (or total lack of it) with regard to the Federal budget and the ceiling.
I get so sick and tired of all the red hats and blue hats party politics regarding this important issue. I understand some of the party politics and their party loyalites, but when the hell does common sense start to intrude upon the lack of progress.
I see their individual points but there must be a time when they stop all the stonewalling and posturing and actually get something done. The silly fighting and BS that all these career politicians are doing right now does the average common citizen absolutely no good. We are concerned about the solvency of our Nation and as a group we should all be.
I really have a hard time with giving corporations tax breaks to send their businesses off shore, and the lack of incentive to get a real effective tax system in place that treats all Americans equally and corporations as well.
It is time for the corporations and ALL Americans to do their part. I believe that a flat tax system would be a benefit for all middle and lower income citizens and would require businesses to pay a fair and equitable amount that could enable ALL Americans to start to help in getting out Nation out of the incredibly deep fiscal hole we are in.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF ALL THIS 2 PARTY BS!!!
Get off your party high horses, stop all this childish crap and DO SOMETHING!!!
All you people were elected by your respective state citizens to do a job, get on with it!!!
Save our Country and the Country of our children from certain monetary collapse and an even further worsening of the economic conditions for all Americans.

Wisdom from the past

So this morning I received an email from my boss and included was a video featuring Archie Bunker.
Some of you may remember him from the early 70's as a working class guy that lived in the suburbs. He was very opinionated and worked hard for a living. The reason the show was so popular was his version of what he perceived as the truth of the way of the world.
He was prejudicial, judgemental and actually a very grumpy sort of fellow, but his way of expression spoke directly to the situation in the country at the time.
I just noticed that the thoughts of that time have some real similarities to now. I understand that things are very difficult, but. as Americans we still have the power to make a difference.
Do so, do not just sit idly by and let things go to hell in a handbasket.
I started my campaign on the belief that we have all had enough of the shenanigans going on in the Government right now.
Stand up and be counted, I will do my best to help you all be heard.

It's just funny

It seems to me that it is just funny how sometimes the dregs suddenly come out of the woodwork. I understand that, while I may have an antiquated sense of values, I guess i just miss the boat when it comes to joining modern society.
I see how politicians act while in office and am appalled as to their conduct. Not all of them mind you, just a few.
We all need to remind them that they are there to take care of all of us and our collective needs, not just their own special interests or line their pockets. While I appreciate the need to make money, I feel that they have a bigger job to do and with partisan politics, they are failing miserably.
I pursue this goal for election to remind them of that and to provide a neutral voice to encourage them to do so.
The time of party politics is coming to an end hopefully. It is time for the public to stand up and demand for them to do the job we have all selected them to do on our behalf.
