He Is Damn Mad!

I have been railing against the partisanship and the do nothing bunch of idiots we elect….they have done NOTHING to solve any of the country’s problems…..none have any solutions…..and zero ideas how to put the US back on the right track……

I have always appreciated MSNBC’s Dylan Ratigan and yesterday he went off on Congress and their lame ass solutions…..a great rant….a great vid….and a great point……he like the rest of us are sick and tired of the high paid lay abouts that we call representatives…….watch the video…….

The utter incompetence of the US Congress is NOT the answer.  Can you feel his anger?  Then SPEAK up!

The Next Media Circus

Just when you thought it was safe to follow the news again…..BLAM!  Here we go again with a ginned up story to capture our hearts and minds……well you know what they say about hearts and minds, right?  NO?  “when you have them by the balls they follow willingly”……and that my friends sums it up very nicely……

But all seriousness aside……..the next “big” story for the media to drive will be the “super committee” to solve all our debt problems with one group of people….(pause here for side splitting laughter)……..remember that can that everyone was so concerned about go down the road?  This committee is just that sort of can…..need we say any more?

While it’s a relief to many in Congress that the debt ceiling bill is on its way to becoming law, Jill Lawrence reminds us of the next phase — “the one with the holiday deadlines — in which a 12-member bipartisan committee of senators and House members is supposed to come up with $1.5 trillion in further deficit reduction.”

“A word to future supercommittee members as you ponder how to proceed: You’re starting out in a deep hole. The public has been focused to an unusual degree on Congress for the last several weeks. The result is rock-bottom approval ratings and an image nobody wants

But who these saviors be?  I can tell you who they will not be……any of the Gang of Six, while I did not agree with them on much, at least they had a plan….and then there are those Dems and Repubs that were on the Simpson-Bowles committee, they will not be on there either for there was a plan that came out of those meetings….so who will it be that will be tapped to lead away from the road to ruin?

Senate GOP sources tell the Weekly Standard that senators who vote against the debt ceiling legislation today will be ineligible to serve on the so-called “supercommittee” for deficit reduction that the legislation creates.

“Excluding those who vote against the debt deal will ensure that some of the most fiscally conservative members of the Senate Republican caucus, including most of its freshmen, will be reading about the committee’s activities in the newspaper rather than guiding its decisions.”

(Sorry…I had to pause for more raucous laughter…..sorry)….like I said….it will be a joke and at worse a media circus…..

There will be the extremes of all three sides of the political triangle…..Dem/Repub/Tea Party….and for that reason there is NO one serious on solving the problems……and then in the end will go the way of Simpson-Bowles and the Gang of Six….dismissed and all this crap will start over again……NO one in Washington is serious about finding solutions…..and in the end….we Americans will have a good laugh at those that we elect…..but will we learn anything?  Doubtful, very doubtful!  And in the end we will still be on that road that we hope to avoid trying to catch up with the can we kept kicking……

Governance as usual!

P.S.  If you do not like this, then wait….the Repubs will use the unemployed to finish the screwing of the American people  (post to come)………
