D'ya think??  

The musings and understandable concerns of one who keeps his ear close to the ground.

How do we allow ourselves to be taken advantage of so regularly?? The continuing - but so far seemingly unsuccessful - war on poverty is a good case in point.

When we look at what the anointed one and his henchmen are proposing to do ( spend) to alleviate the problem of high unemployment, it certainly looks like they are trying to do just that; find the end of a hoop. Do you suppose they will ever realize that a hoop has no beginning and no end??

For years and years, seniors have been conditioned to reflexively resist any changes, no matter how minuscule, having to do with Social Security. Historical note to politicians: Fool with Social Security at your own risk. Those days may be gone.

From now until the end of the year (and probably longer than that) we are going to be hearing more than we ever wanted to about budgeting, continuing resolutions, appropriations, and most disconcerting of all, the political mathematics used in getting from one to the other.

It never fails to amaze me how good the Dems are at out foxing the long suffering taxpayers and how so many of us keep buying into their almost always misleading and frequently fallacious arguments.

In between his $35,000 a plate fund raisers, the prez says he is turning his attention to improving the employment situation - or more specifically, the unemployment situation.

Being a lawyer just doesn't seem to be quite as good a job as it used to be.

Here's some food for thought. The anointed one has proven without reservation that he is an outstanding fund raiser. (That makes two things that he is good at; the other is reading from Teleprompters.)

Here we go again with Judge Manning weighing in on the legislature's deliberations as if it was any of his business as a judge. As a taxpayer, yes; but as a judge, no

For the last couple of weeks we have been hearing ad nauseam about the debt ceiling, defaulting on our debt, the Boehner plan, the McConnell Plan, the Reid Plan, and of course, the Prez' "big deal" plan.

It's interesting. We hear Standard & Poor's (S&P) telling us that we need to do something to get our financial act together. We hear Moody's Investor's Service telling us the same thing.

The United States, according to the Administration, is risking a default if the debt ceiling is not raised by Aug 2. Likewise, if we don't "get our act together", we are risking having our credit rating downgraded by Standard & Poors.

The Republicans may have taken over the NC legislature for the first time in a long time, but the idiocy in Raleigh has apparently not been reined in yet - or even slowed down much.

Early in the week of 6/19, the Prez was finding fault with ATMs and Kiosks in airports where you could check in and print your own tickets etc. because, according to him, they cost us jobs.

A lot of folks keep accusing our chief community organizer of not being much of a manager; after all, he really never had much (if any) exposure to management prior to getting himself elected president.

So the Non-profits are being targeted according to the lead headline in the 6/2/2011 edition of the WDN. Who, besides Hood Richardson would do such a thing??
