Running off on the keyboard. My random thoughts.
I stated that I am confused, let me tell you why. During the elections last year, the Republicans and Tea Party Candidates, ran on the issue of getting debt under control. The latest proposal by the President is to reduce the debt by 4 trillion dollars. The Republicans are saying that they cannot get a big deal done and propose a 2 trillion dollar reduction. My confusion is how do you run on the issue of reducing the debt and then cut in half the amount that the Democrats put forward. Is that the difference between just beating the hell out of Middle America and saving the elite and corporations? Why is reducing the debt O.K. as long as we only take from us? What ever happened to the idea of fairness? Oh, wait I understand, it is NOT an election year! They will only talk about balancing the budget, seriously, during their re-election campaign. Let the big money continue to roll in, because you are protected once again by our political leaders. Maybe we should just let Congress leave and let the Corporations make new laws. Wait, again they already do that.
Did you see where Sarah Palin came out with the statement, "I can win." To all of the Monday morning quarterbacks out there, does that sound familiar? I can't tell you how many times, while watching a basketball game I shout at the player that just missed the free throw, "I could make that shot."
Ms. Palin is great on the sidelines, complaining because she quits half way through her term as governor, she never faces the criticism. Hey Sarah, leadership is getting into the game and competing to see if you can win. As the saying goes, "Lead, follow or get out of the way." For the good of our country I suggest you do the latter, and while your are at it, shut up until you have something intelligent to say.
John Boehner is more concerned about being Speaker of the House then doing what is good for the country. Eric Cantor is wetting himself, trying to get Boehner out and himself in. This is what I call leadership. Just go to neutral corners and come out fighting, boys. At least it would be over quickly.
It seems the NFL is able to get more done quickly then our Congress. Reports say the greedy owners and the whining players are close to a deal. If they get theirs done maybe we could talk them into going to Capital Hill and getting the country straight. "Pacman" Jones would fit right in with the crooks in Washington.
Last did you see where the banks and our wonderful leaders are trying to quickly get a deal struck on how much the banks will have to pay for the mortgage mess? The banks want this done even though the investigation is just starting. I wonder why! That would be like starting a murder trail the week before charges are brought. The other part that really leaves me shaking my head is the banks DO NOT have to admit to any wrong doing. Who do they think they are Casey Anthony!
That is just part of what is rambling inside of my head this morning. I just hope you are less confused then I am.
