Liberals want a health care plan that won’t work, conservatives want to keep a plan that doesn’t. It’s great to have “a real choice.”
Let’s put some car wax on the old jalopy and call it fixed.
America, land of the free, and home of the selfish knave. You are free to pay the rich man’s taxes for him, and to pay for the deadbeats too.
When America, and Russia, needed rocket scientists they went to Germany to get them. Bush wasn’t bright enough to make his economic mess complicated, so it shouldn’t take geniuses to fix it. That is good to know, because we haven’t got any in Washington.
In the 1990s America was “the economic engine that pulled the world along” while Asia was in a recession. The dollar was king, I bought gas as low as 79 cents a gallon. Unemployment was at 4 percent, considered full employment by economists, because some people are always in transition.
When Bush got to Washington he realized this was bad, bad, bad for anyone who didn’t want to pay more than the minimum wage with no benefits.
Pork is for Halliburton, and nickel a gallon gas in Baghdad. Americans should eat beans, rice and cornbread. An all-starch diet is good for you.
First idea: “We need eight million more immigrants.” The Democrats were polite, but cool to the idea. Federalist Republicans wanted no part of it, and the dinosaurs with donkey breath were breathing fire down his neck. They had been down this road before, when the work stopped the pension plan took on a life of its own.
Second idea: Change the tax code to make it more profitable to send jobs to Asia than keep them here. The compassionate robber barons loved the idea, as they saw visions of $100 million bonuses in their heads.
Can President Obama change the tax code to make it more profitable to keep jobs here and bring some back, cut taxes, pay for it by raising taxes on those who send the jobs out of the country?
Can Sarah Palin look backward while wearing a neck brace?
