The Democrats in the House and Senate are refusing to pass the 2011 budget cuts proposed by the House Republicans. The possibility of a government shutdown has morphed into being a probability. Accusations, threats, name-calling and denigration have become the playbook of the day.
COMMENTS:
The Democrats thought last year that they did not want to be on the hook for the budget at election time and that they could make hay with the subject matter this year if the Republicans made gains in November. This is exactly what they are doing. It’s not about what is right for America or what the citizens want; it’s just a political game, and the Democrats are keeping score. In doing so, they threaten to throw the country into an economic abyss, but they don’t care. This fact needs to be remembered in 2012 at the ballot box: they don’t care. They flunk.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Will there be an agreement in time to avert a government shutdown? (Thad ~ Riverside, CA)
A. I think there will be a last minute “intervention” by Obama and the Democrats will concede to the GOP plan; this will make Obama look good and he just announced he’s running for reelection. It will also set the stage for the Democrats to fight Paul Ryan’s budget tooth and nail. They’ll be able to say that they conceded on this budget in good faith and that now it’s the Republican’s turn to show good faith.
Q. What ever happened to ACORN? (Cyndy ~ Colusa, CA)
A. Well, they legally went bankrupt and closed down their operations. At the same time, dozens of new and similar organizations with varying names opened up in locations around the country and are being staffed by former ACORN personnel. Funding formerly allocated to ACORN now goes to those organizations. Do you get the picture? In the meantime, ACORN did plead guilty to voter fraud in Nevada. For some reason, the media has neglected to tell you that.
Q. I read something yesterday about a new element that has been discovered in a meteorite? (Dennis ~ Tremonton, UT)
A. Actually, it’s a mineral and it’s called wassonite. It is formed from sulfur and titanium. Although it sounds similar, it is not related to verbiage used by American males when they come home from work and sit down in front of the TV and say “Wassontonight?”
