Our illustrious Congress left town after sticking it to Americans again on Wednesday, and they left an expired tax on air travel unresolved in the process. As a result, the F.A.A. is out of money and sending employees home without pay. Congress is not due to return until September. In addition, F.A.A. construction projects across the country have been halted and the F.A.A. is claiming that the partial shutdown is costing taxpayers more and more money daily.
COMMENTS:
Who cares? Hell, if
we run out of money, we’ll just raise the debt limit and print some more. Besides, with the F.A.A. shutdown, the airways are probably safer anyway.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. You’ll have to agree that we did make some progress on
this debt-deficit problem. (Milo ~
Detroit, MI)
A. Where? Did we cut
spending? Did we reduce the deficit? Did
we fix the system? No. Did we raise the
debt ceiling? Yes. Further, even if
there IS some redeeming value of this
lousy legislation, even if we can claim that we have finally taken a step in
the right direction… When your son or daughter is laying in the hospital in
intensive care, do want the doctor to work on a symptom today and another next
week, or do you want the whole problem fixed now?
This President and his cronies on The Hill, Republican and Democrat
alike, all need to be run out of the country.
Q. Cyber attacks are increasing in the United States. How can they be stopped? (Federico ~ Colfax, CA)
A. Disconnect the Internet.
What they do need to do is to establish a second and secret Internet for especially
sensitive firms and agencies such as governments, banks, stock firms, etc. Or, they could just shut down electricity
altogether, which would help the EPA reduce emissions.
Q. I heard that the Senate is so ticked off at Americans
clamoring for a responsible solution to the debt and deficit that they have
decided to pay them back by adding a Federal sales tax on all Internet
sales. Is that true? (Janice ~ Hayfork, CA)
A. Yes. So much for
their pledge of “no new taxes,” and the ink isn’t even dry yet on Obama’s
signature to this disastrous debt-deficit bill just passed.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Every two years the American politics
industry fills the airwaves with the most virulent, scurrilous, wall-to-wall
character assassination of nearly every political practitioner in the country -
and then declares itself puzzled that America has lost trust in its
politicians.” ~ Charles Krauthammer
