Amtrak has announced it must cease service to many towns in America unless the individual states kick in money to upgrade the aging tracks.
COMMENTS:
Once again, the Federal government has displayed its superb
disability in running what should be a private business. It’s the same thing they’ve done to the U.S.
Post Office; they’ve emasculated it.
Competition is what keeps innovation going and better business practices
growing. The government has eliminated
competition on the rails and in the mails, just as it now seeks to eliminate
competition in health insurance by pushing the country into a government-run single-payer
system. Frankly, from what I can see of
this government, we’d be better off splitting up into 50 individual countries
and getting rid of the feds altogether.
If we’re afraid of some other nation going to war against us, we can
always hire former BLM agents to protect us.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I hear Obama made a speech in Pennsylvania over the
weekend that was neither well-attended nor well-received? (Cory ~ Mt. Vernon, Washington)
A. Approximately 300 people attended the speech at Allegheny
Community College in Oakdale, Pennsylvania last Wednesday. Although he was touting his new spending
program, his laugh lines fell flat and applause was muted and infrequent. I guess the crowd had decided to hold on to
their Bibles and guns and to skip the empty rhetoric.
Q. What is your opinion of Michael Bloomberg’s latest $50
million effort at gun control and elimination of the NRA? (Earl ~ Bend, OR)
A. At least he’s putting his money where his mouth is. Bloomberg’s security detail carries guns,
which means to me he’s akin to a bird…all mouth and no ass; a bat,
perhaps.
Q. Obviously, the “peaceful” solution to the Syrian
situation has failed. How long do you
think it will be before we see the appearance of chemical weapons again, and
what will Obama do about it? (Leona ~
Roseville, CA)
A. The Obama Administration yesterday fessed up and said it “appears”
that chemical weapons were again used in Syria earlier this month. Since the information coming to us is
delayed, we can surmise that Obama has no appetite for reinstituting his
infamous “red line,” and that Assad is
much better off than Americans because he can truly continue to keep and use his chemical weapons
if he wants to.

“If the federal government had been around when the Creator
was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn’t be here. We’d still be waiting for an environmental
impact statement.” ~ Ronald Reagan
