Whatever happened to the idea of a flat tax? What about getting rid of loopholes and having tax simplification? It seems to me that things now in the works are even more complex than what they are today. Yes, we're having changes, but to what? We should have learned by the Obama-Pelosi healthcare example that we should be careful what we wish for; we just might get it. The new tax plans are just like the new health care plans were: a whole lot of bullshit and nothing of substance. Maybe we shouldn't worry about it anyway; every day that goes by convinces me more and more that there's going to be no new tax plan in this Congress.
Speaking of healthcare, I don't qualify for ObamaCare. I'm on Medicare and just got the bill for my new supplement. It's going up to $825 per quarter, (and that's just for me) ... 165% of what it was four years ago. There's nobody anywhere in Washington talking about relief for middle Americans on fixed incomes. I don't know about you, but everyone in Congress needs a good, strong enema.
Yeah, I really agree that Bowe Bergdahl should receive $300,000 in back pay, don't you? I mean, if you're going to insult the military and patriotic Americans by letting him off the hook, why not just rub some serious salt in our wounds and pay him?
Then there's this Judge Roy Moore thing... some 40 years after the fact, during which the accuser(s) have kept silent, and now that he's about to become elected as a U.S. Senator, they come forward and claim they were sexually molested... all according to that venerable bastion of veracity The Washington Post. What's worse is that the members of collective Republican "establishment," all of which despise Moore because he's not part of that "establishment," are crawling back under the rocks in the sewers from whence they came.
I see that Little Rock, AR has no interest in bringing in the new "second" headquarters for Amazon along with 50,000 new jobs and $5 billion in construction costs. While that would certainly jack up real estate values and add to the local economy, I think the residents figure they'll have much more trouble finding a place to park.
