How Many Times Next Year?

Everybody should know by now that the government is back in full operation for a few more months.

I wonder if the Tea Bagger Republicans are planning on shutting down the government again? At a cost of how many more billions of dollars for us taxpayers to owe?

I would like to know when the next tax increase is going to happen, and it will, and how much it will be.

I can't think of much right now. I'll be back soon.

Hillary Clinton for President!

Government Shutdown

I just don't get it.

The Republican-led House has tried to kill the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, over forty times, without success.

Someone once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. By this definition the Republicans in the House must be insane.

They are still proving their insanity.

They tried extortion this time. Defund Obamacare or we'll shut down the government.

The Senate called their bluff and the government is now partially shutdown.

So what do the Republicans do? They keep trying to get changes to the ACA or they'll keep the government shutdown.

They've even gone further. Now they say, make changes to Obamacare or we'll cause the U.S. government to default on it's debt.

Still trying extortion to get their way. Insane, I tell you.

What the Republicans should do is immediately eject all the Tea Party Republicans from the Republican Party. They already consider themselves a separate political party, hence the name 'Tea Party'. Let them do their own thing.

Then they should vote on and pass a 'clean' Continuing Resolution and increase the debt limit. Nothing about the ACA should be included.

Then they can start talking about changes to the ACA.

Will they do anything I suggest here. I seriously doubt it.

Maybe after their bluff is called this time they'll realize they can't use extortion to get their way and do their jobs.

Arizona Government Idiocy

It's just one thing after another with this administration in Arizona.

The latest stupid thing is HB 2441, which the House passed. This piece of crap would require the political party committee for a Presidential Candidate to prove the candidate meets the U.S. Constitutional requirements for President of the U.S. before he/she can be listed on the ballot. Even then, the Arizona Secretary of State can still has the power to decide whether, or not, they are put on the ballot.

Huh? If this is allowed it could mean that any candidate for President will have to prove to every State, individually, that they are qualified.



The correct way to go about this would be to request a U.S. Constitutional Amendment that specifies how to, and who is responsible to, certify a person's qualifications for President.

Meanwhile, just do like was done prior to the last election, challenge the candidate to produce the proof if you have doubts.

Obama was challenged to produce his birth certificate, and he did so, you can see an authenticated copy here.
