First a question, hasn’t been nice having Congress on vacation? They haven’t screwed anything up while they have been off celebrating the last big lie. Oh well on with the fuzzy math and spin. For the last year or so we have been hearing how 95% of Americans had their income taxes reduced. My question [...]

Yesterday I posted correspondence to and from my Congressional Representative, Charles Gonzalez. I had expressed my concern with growing size of the debt of this country and the continued spending by Washington without regard to the results.

I have been watching the events of late and I can say that in my lifetime I have never seen our nation in such a confused state. I was very active during the health care bill process and much to my dismay it passed. We are now finding out what the impact of that bill [...]

Mr. President, you were amused and said we should be thanking you for cutting our taxes. Let me be amongst the first to thank you for allowing me to keep $13 dollars a month of my own money. It is going a long ways to making my life a lot easier. It has allowed me [...]

Ok folks lets get real. We hear how the stimulus has saved 2 million jobs and yet once again the latest jobs report says we just lost another 500 thousand jobs. What a bunch of crap. If you look at the big stimulus bill you will find a bunch on non job producing spending period. [...]

It is striking to me that our government is in such a dysfunctional state. This is what happens when people become so opposed in their views that they cannot reasonably arrive at a solutions to problems. They Democrats had a super majority, in theory they should have been able to pass any legislation they wanted [...]

Wow! It is just amazing how complicated these issues are when our representatives try to fix a major business problem they don’t understand. This confused and dazed group of lawmakers have added another TRILLION PLUS to the deficit without blinking an eye. Who will pay for this? The dollar is weaker everyday, so much so [...]

Well I took a week off to clear my mind, now I’m back and my brain is ready to explode. What are they thinking in Washington? The healthcare bills are exploding with cost. From what I can see the end results will further bloat the budget and debt of this country. The stimulus is doing [...]
