I remember back when George Bush stared to push his Social Security makeover plan. It was a good idea, to privatize the system, and in doing so, would keep congress's greedy hands out of the pool.
Oh course congress didn't like that idea, and went on the attack. They made up all sorts of none sense about it, an did their best to strike fear into the hearts of all the seniors. Naturally under the Bush plan, they argued, everyone would lose their money. It was a lot of BS, and I don't think Bush pushed it as hard as he should of.
Which brings me to our salesman in chief. I cannot turn on the TV without seeing him pushing this ill fated plan. I realize we will get it no matter what. And I also have read enough of what the proposals are, and what the folks pushing it, really are trying to achieve.
But really, 5 Sunday shows, Letterman, there are other things that really do need his attention. And he says nothing new. And he keeps saying HIS PLAN. But He doesn't have a plan. In fact there still is no single plan. The Dem's can't even agree with each other on what should be in it.
The only thing they do seem to agree on is they will use a questionable rule in the Senate meant for budget measures, to ram it through. An much as I have suspected, they now say in reconciliation they will put the public option back in.
That really is the key for the entire reform idea.
Mr ACORN has no idea whats going on with ACORN, because its not important. Well, yes it is.
Iran and Russia now think he is weak. The Pols, Czech's, and Israelis all think he is a turncoat.
He is threatening Honduras to reinstate their dictator, which they legally tossed out.
The economy is still heading South, and most economists expect it to take another major nosedive soon.
The banks they bailed out, are now doing the exact same things that led to the collapse, again, with government approval.
Commercial loans and real estate are about tho collapse, making the housing bubble look like a ripple
.Our government is starting a trade war with China. Not something you want to do when you rely on that country to keep buying your debt.
The yearly deficit is growing by more than anyone anticipated.
Unemployment is still rising at an alarming rate, with no hope for the trend to turn in the foreseeable future. In fact true unemployment is already into Great Depression numbers.
Afghanistan is becoming a disaster. The General he picked says he needs more troops now. Team O has put off the decision until he studies it more. That is the Good War in his own words. Now that it is his, it looks like we will fold there too.
And that is just scratching the surface.
And yet all he talks about is his Health Care Plan, which does not exist in reality.
The time for nonstop campaigning has been over since last November. It's high time he started trying to lead the county.
