And personally, I’m SO glad Bloomberg won, although surprised it was by such a small margin.
Also wondering if some of the Republicans have some thoughts for me on this. I was watching Charlie Rose last night and the discussion was surrounding the National Debt.
Apparently 5 TRILLION of the 9 Trillion debt the U.S. has is due to the 01/03 Bush Tax cuts and changes to the drug benefits for Medicare. 3 Trillion of the debt is due to the economic recession and just 10% of the National debt has been spent by both Bush and Obama on the Recovery of said economic recession.
How do the Republicans justify spending that 5 Trillion on tax cuts (mainly for the rich). Especially when there was no thought as to how this was to be paid for and that it would all go towards our debt.
Obama and Congress are trying to come up with a cost cost neutral health plan and all the GOP are against it, but they were fine to basically throw 5 Trillion dollars down the toilet.
Anyone have thoughts? I’m genuinely curious. I was shocked to find this out because the debt has become such a problem that there are very few ideas (it seems) on how to come out from under it, which may eventually make the U.S. go down a similar path to Argentina when their currency became so worthless that their economy collapsed.
Mornin’ THL. He got a anti-tapeworm shot yesterday (took it like a champ!) and it began working almost immediately. Gross but a good. He’s whining because he’s in the bathroom, but he’ll get over it. Also got some stronger meds to get rid of his URI once and for all.
“Snappy- How’s Hari’s hiney?”
OMG!! I read this as ‘Snappy- How’s your hairy hiney?’
I need to eat, maybe that will help me.
