As of press time last night, the deadlock in Washington continued, with both House Republicans and House Democrats putting together their own new plans that are worlds apart with no hope of resolution. The House missed an artificial deadline they had set for being done before Asian markets opened for Monday trading. While John Boehner continued with meetings and made a speech from the House, Obama summoned Pelosi and Reid to the White House.
COMMENTS:
Obama is madder than hell; he’s not getting his way. He is threatening, coercing and doing
everything underhanded he can do to win.
At his behest, Reid has put together a Senate proposal for $2.5 trillion
in deficit reductions along with the passing of a debt-limit increase, but
closer examination reveals that the proposed cuts do not begin until after the
November 2012 elections and that they could be scuttled altogether by the next
Congress. Although Obama is loudly
blaming the Republicans, the simple fact is that he and the Democrats have had
almost a year to deal with this issue and have refused to do so. We’re paying these people damned good money
to get the job done for us and they are refusing to do it. We have every right to march on Washington en
masse and demand answers and accountability.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Something doesn’t make sense to me. Starting next year, dishwashers must use less
energy. Because they will use less
energy, they will take longer to wash the dishes. While they will also use less heated water,
won’t the net result be the use of more energy?
(Lucy ~ Plano, TX)
A. Yes. This is
another dynamic project of your Environmental Protection Agency. Isn’t it terrific, what your tax dollars are
buying?
Q. I understand the FBI is investigating Rupert Murdoch’s
U.S. holdings? How come? (Kenny, Barstow, CA)
A. His now defunct newspaper in the United Kingdom was discovered doing
illegal wire taps and other misdeeds in efforts to get the news. The Justice Department Eric Holder is a
staunch enemy of Fox News, one of Murdoch’s U.S. many holdings. They are hoping and praying to shut Fox down,
so they’re looking for similar misdeeds in the U.S. Don’t forget that Holder scuttled charges
against Blank Panther members who were caught red-handed interfering with
voting in the November 2008 elections in Philadelphia and that he is currently stonewalling
a Congressional investigation into illegal gun dealings by the BATF in Texas. Isn’t it terrific how your government
works?
Q. I heard tax cheat Tim Geithner say yesterday, in essence,
that we must raise the deficit and taxes before the country can create
jobs. I think that’s bull; they have
more excuses for not fixing the unemployment problem in this country than
Carter has pills. (Eric ~ San Rafael, CA)
A. Isn’t it terrific how your government works and what your
tax dollars are buying? Have you had enough yet?

"If I had my druthers, I'd fire everybody in
Washington. Here we are, two weeks away
from a default, which would be an economic disaster of immeasurable proportion,
and they think it's a joke." ~ Gerald Levine, retiree
