"February made me shiver, with every paper I delivered. Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step..."
In other news:
All five Representatives from Iowa, three Democrats and two Republicans, voted against raising the debt ceiling. Both Iowa Senators voted "no", also. I never thought I'd see the day.... :)
Sadly, the debt bill passed anyway, but you'd have to understand Iowa politics to understand why I'm surprised.
They all said that it's crazy and that it provides "No meaningful spending cuts".
They're calling it "Boehner's Bill". I think it's a setup. I also think that Boehner is one of "them". I hope the good people of Ohio call him home and replace him with a "right minded" Republican.
So, anyway.... obama is safe until after the 2012 elections, as far as debt ceiling fights go.
Sounds like they'll have another big fight on their hands with Medicare and Medicade, though. And with the FAA and their desire to re-unionize. I miss Ronnie Ray-gun....
"Bye, bye...."? Nope, I'm not going anywhere. You're stuck with me for the forseeable future. :)
Stay safe.
All five Representatives from Iowa
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, though I assume only the Republicans voted against it for the correct reason/s.
One Democrat Senator and one Republican. The common theme amongst them appears to be anger. They appear to realize the stupidity of more debt with "no real cuts" to spending. Gee. Adding to the debt IS spending.
ReplyDeleteTells me that the time is now.
