Could ANYONE REALLY be this DUMB?
Here are a few reasons why the Government is in the shape it’s in!
YES, THEY WALK AMONG US, ARE IN POLITICS AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED. I don’t write them, I just offer them for your consideration.
Like manure, you just gotta spread it around.
A DC ‘airport ticket agent’ offers some examples of why the US is in so much trouble!
1. I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn’t get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane!)

Maybury strives to explain monetary policy in more common terms for those of us who aren’t PhD’s in economics. Maybury is not shy in blasting all politicians regarding monetary policy and the many ways to mess with our economy and retain power. Even Ronald Reagan is not spared.
I often (usually) listen to commercial talk radio during the day when possible and certainly on the commute to/from work. Since I said “commercial” talk radio you know it must be conservative talk radio as there are no viable, commercial, liberal talk shows or stations at least that can be found. I am often surprised at some of the advertisements that folks pay to play to a mostly conservative audience. Some of the stuff just seems like a complete waste of money.
About two years ago I wrote a post about what “poor” really means in America and what amenities many of those below the poverty line have. I don’t want to delve back into that because you can
Having a car that is nearly eight years old with almost 150,000 miles makes the annual inspection a likely costly adventure. My appointment was Monday so I dropped the car off Sunday night and anxiously awaited the news. I got the call in the early afternoon and Ed, our mechanic, started going through the list; A/C check, battery, tire rotation…little stuff really. Ed hesitated and I said “okay now for the bad news.” The bad news was repairs to the tune of $1,400 (a big part was brakes all around) and that my car would not be ready until the next evening. The real bad news is that Ed did some checking and told me that my vehicle is showing its age and miles. Some of the hidden stuff will probably need to be replaced next year and maybe I may not want to spend that kind of money. Essentially telling me that I’d be paying a lot more money for an old vehicle…or getting diminishing returns on my investment.
“Top Democrats and Republicans in Congress prepared new proposals to avert a government debt default and a potential global financial crisis.”
Politicians succeed by engaging us with truths (usually only half truths) to get us riled up for their cause which is ultimately about getting them reelected. Few politicians care about anything more than achieving this goal. They avoid the tough decisions while decrying that the other side won’t make the tough decisions. The good news for American citizens is that we have a free press that sorts out complex issues and will not let politicians get away with the half truths. Okay that was dripping with sarcasm, but I am a dreamer and that is the way our country is supposed to work.
