Well, now that our season of BS has come to an end, it is time to see exactly what our Republican friends have to offer.............."in the name of the American people." Have they been able to increase their vocabulary from their famous two letter word........NO............to perhaps an three letter word..............YES......... This morning I listen quite closely to Eric Cantor, the new majority leader in the house. Like always, he said absolutely nothing, when asked for specifics in what the republicans will bring to the table. I heard only that ..........everything will be put on the table...............what does that mean???? I heard only the typical rhetoric that I have heard for the past 2 and a half years. Now, before you bring out the party horns and the party hats.....just think , the American people have given you the keys back to the house, if you continue to screw things up like continually looking in the rear view mirror, they can take your keys away from you. Like my basketball coach used to say.....the ball is in your side of the court........bring it forward. Personally, I say, bring on all those ideas you spoke about, don't' keep them a secret any longer. Let's see what you have to offer............How will you invent new jobs? How will you reduce the budget without increasing taxes or what programs will you cut ? How will you prevent illegal immigration? speak up guys .and then the American people will judge........once again.
So, now it's your time or like some say...........PUT UP OR SHUT UP!!!!!!! Most of all, I certainly hope that they don't start the 2012 crap until 2012. I am one tired puppy over this gridlock. I look forward to hearing what those Teapartyers will bring to the table. My guess..................NOTHING! except more gun permits and less social security and health care......except for them.
After listening to the news last night (11/04) and reading the paper this morning (11/05) I can now foresee .....BUSINESS AS USUAL......... in our government, even thought this is not what the American people want!!!!! The new speaker Boehner has now turned his prior statements around and has declared that the agenda of the house is to rescind all of the mistakes made by the Democrats the past 2 years.......guess that means...........we can expect the usual ................nothing done in the house. Meanwhile the minority leader in the Senate, our friend (or enemy) as you look at it stated that his prime job is to be that Obama will be a one term President........this meaning to me that nothing will get done here either. Same old gridlock crap that we had for the past two years. Meanwhile here sits the major population on the sideline watching the biggest waist of time going on in front of us. THIS IN THE NAME OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...................what a bunch of crap!!!!!!!!! Having said that and at the possibility that I will loose readership in this blog, all you friends out there that actually were naive enough to believe anything different, you have two years left of getting nothing done from our government except the sitting around complaining how the other guys did not do what we wanted. BOO HOO HOO!!!!!!! CRY BABIES.
Now, off to other topics. Just heard that American Airlines has proposed to the TSA the possibility of permitting passengers to tag and price their own bags. It in no way will change the security process in place, since no change will be made behind the scenes where the actual security takes place. Having said that, it is now more likely that more layoffs will be created in the Airline industry. Along with more job loses is the fact that clearwire communication will be laying off, more out of work people. Just how do we create jobs when no one has money to spend on buying things and business has learned how to sell goods without the use of people. WHO DO WE OWE THIS TO??????? This is nothing new to business. Went into a couple of stores yesterday and found that more and more are doing away with checkout clerks and putting in "CHECKOUT YOURSELF MACHINES" Pretty smart now we shop, checkout and bag out own stuff but no reduction of cost for the items. This, of course still with the same thought as to big business acquiring small business and combing products which has been a concept for many many years.
I remember back to my employment days, fifteen years ago, we constantly looked for ways to reduce staff even to the extent to pay a little more but expect a little more. My own motto on the job was. "increase productivity per person" for a quarter more an hour. Not that I had anything to say on their salary structure.
SSSSoooooooooo!!! let's see now. This is the second time in two years we have been asked to vote for change...........................AND ................we have the same old NO,,,,,,,NO,,,,,,,,,NO CHANGE unless you do it my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and may I add........IF you think your tea party people are gong to do anything different for you.............you better take up drinking wine!!!!!!!!!!!
