Picking up where we last left off, at the request of Congressional leaders, President Obama last Friday agreed to delay his request for a $1.2 trillion increase in the national debt for 15 days to Congress can debate it. The August debt bill debacle gives Obama the right to ask for it and stipulates that Congress can decline the request by passing a Congressional Bill that… Obama can veto. In other words, our grand children's lives are screwed again.
COMMENTS:
Look at the bright side: Obama Administration officials say
the $1.2 trillion should last until
the end of next year. In the meanwhile,
the deficit increased by $4.2 trillion last year. Get the ugly picture?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I read an article over the weekend that claims Nancy
Pelosi really wants to retire. What do
you think? (Ulysses ~ San Jose, CA)
A. That’s what her daughter, Alexandra claims. She says her mom wants to retire, but that
she feels an obligation to her many loyal supporters. I say, “Hogwash.” Nancy likes the power and she likes flaunting
it. She will never retire
willingly.
Q. Do you think Iran already has a nuclear bomb? (Milo ~ Shingletown, CA)
A. No. If they had
one, Israel would already have been nuked.
Q. The news last week was that the U.S. might release a top
Taliban prisoner from Guantanamo in exchange for peace talks with the
Taliban. I thought it was a well-known truth
that dealing with prisoner releases as a way of getting the other side to cave
in never works. (Cassie ~ Provo, UT)
A. And you, my dear, should work for the State
Department. As a matter of fact, you
have proven by that remark that you would make a far better President than
Barack Obama.
