American Recovery and Investment Act what’s the republican agenda

admin — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 21:57:22 +0000

American Recovery and Investment Act (Stimulus) is designed to hlp all of the country, I thought. Now can you really believe that a lot of states with republican governors are going to turn down the money from the stimulus act. Isn’t that a crock? Lots of them have said they don’t like it and the strings attached to the American Recovery and Investment Act.

IMO and from what I’ve heard or seen is they really don’t like is the Buy American provision of the stimulus pkg. Now it seems to me that this American Recovery and Investment Act is designed to help the American economy. Considering it’s the republicans who got us where we are now you’d think they’d want to see America getting stronger and our economy getting stronger.

However if that’s what you think you’d be wrong. Evidently they want to buy Japanese steel because it’s cheaper than American steel. They also want to buy other things from foreign nations because those things are cheaper. However it is the American Recovery and Investment Act, not the Japan, China, India or German investment act. If you are trying to get America back on track it makes good sense to Buy American. The republicans who say they will probably reject the money are a hindrance to our economic recovery and one could even say they are Un American and unpatriotic.

I find it really interesting they’d rather help other countries economies rather than investing in ours. Just what the hell is the republican agenda? It sure as hell isn’t a stronger, safer America or they’d be more than happy to get their states education, infrastructure and health care up to world standards. This is about as unpatriotic as it gets.

Seems to me the republicans are acting like spoiled children who didn’t get what they wanted so they aren’t going to take anything. My way or no way. I know two year olds like that but I really thought politicians were more adult than that. Evidently this is one of those rare times when a long held opinion is wrong. Actually I think it’s political suicide but hey, what do I know?

It’s going to be hilarious if these republican governors don’t accept the money. ROTF, it will be a good thing because the people of their states will probably elect a Democrat for governor in the next race. Go ahead, dumb ass republican governors, turn down the federal money meant to get us out of this recession and see if you get elected again. I dare ya. Hell, I double dog dare ya. It will be a good thing if they don’t take it then we can get rid of all the dumb ass unpatriotic republican governors.

Lol, I have a tendency to agree with Gov. Arnold (The Terminator) Schwarzenegger. He said “If the other governors don’t want the money just send it to Calif and we’ll take it.” Struck me funny that the only man among them who can’t be President is more than willing to do his part.

Just makes the others look even dumber, for depriving their citizens of the things the money could do, for political reasons. Good luck getting reelected. That’s about the worst political strategy I can imagine. Shooting ones self in the foot isn’t fun but the republicans are about to do it many times. All I can say is it’s going to be fun to watch. Hopefully they won’t kill what’s left of the economy during their suicidal republican death throes.

Murder by Peanut

admin — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 14:37:54 +0000

Peanutbutter Corp of America is guilty of murder, in my opinion.

During visits to the plant leaky roofs, mold and roaches were found. Wouldn’t you think that any one of those three would be grounds for shutting the plant down? After all, they do provide peanut butter to a ton of other places and those places provide schools, businesses and us, consumers, with products.

I don’t know about you but I don’t really want to be eating anything that came from a place that was cited for cockroaches. Makes you wonder what’s worse, the mold or the cockroaches. At the very least the roaches should tell you things were not clean let alone sanitary.

The news said that at least 12 times since 2007 FDA docs show products that tested positive for salmonella. Why wasn’t the first time enough to get the plant shutdown? (I’ll get to the answer to my questions in a bit) Why wasn’t the second event enough to get the plant shutdown? Seems no one cared and the fact that it happened a minimum of 12 times bears that out.

Once could have been a fluke, twice should have indicated a serious problem and the third time they should have been shut down totally. No one cared. They were allowed to continue providing products that could sicken and kill people. No one cared.

What proof do I have that no one cared. Uh, Duh, it happened 9 more times. If anyone cared do you think it would have happened even one more? Sheesh. Get a grip, it’s only logical.

Worse yet, the company retested and reported nothing found so the shipments were sent anyway. Now why is retesting allowed? I’ve never heard anything about a lot of false positives when testing for salmonella? Why was retesting allowed? From what I understand, it isn’t. So why were the products allowed to be shipped? Not once, Not twice! 12 times that we know of and I’m betting even more that we don’t know of.

These people ought to be criminally charged, with murder, first degree murder at that because in my opinion it was murder for profit. Their profit. (Does that answer the why questions from above, for ya?) There also has to be some conspiracy charges to commit murder and even more along those lines.

However let’s put the blame where it really lies. The republicans keep pushing tax cuts and less govt interference. Well, due to tax cuts there aren’t enough inspectors. Due to less govt interference there weren’t enough inspectors. Ergo, due to republicans people are dying needlessly.

Republicans are sadly deluded if they think any company is going to do what’s best for the people of this country, on their own and at the expense of their profits. Ain’t gonna happen. Companies are in business to make a profit and if they have to kill a few people to make that profit most of them don’t give a damn. PCA’s actions pretty much prove that, at least to me. Ain’t;t the first time and won’t be the last.

Banks are in business to make a profit and if they have to put a few people out of their homes for scams the banks created they don’t give a damn. What happened. No govt interference and no one watching the books of these places due to less taxes so the govt can’t hire people to do the job the govt is supposed to be doing. Hey, at least we pay less taxes.

Now the republicans are trying to block the stimulus pkg because it doesn’t contain enough tax cuts. Hell, the republican tax cuts are what’s killing us. Reliance, by republicans, for american and foreign business to do the right thing, is sadly misplaced. Their first priority should be to make sure all americans are safe from bad food. After all, according to the govt, keeping us safe from terrorism is the most important thing. What about keeping us from being killed by bad food? Isn’t that even more important?

Sadly, evidently not. Tax cuts are and that’s our fault. We, as a nation, seem happier to save a few cents on our taxes than to keep from killing people and making hundred and thousands sick. So in the end, once again, we have met the enemy, and, he is us.

McCain and Palin

admin — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 15:44:52 +0000

About all I can say of McCains pick of Palin is “Wow, that took balls”. For all of her detracter who want to know about her and her experience all I can say is it’s much better to have a person as President who knows what’s going on and has the experience to deal with it and chooses a less experienced vice president than it is to have a very inexperienced President with a vice president who is Washinton establishment at it’s finest.

The president is supposed to be in charge and that’s what McCain will be. Sheesh, remember Dan Quayle? Yeah, I know, I’d rather not remember him either. I doubt Palin will be near as bad. Almost no one could be as bad.

Back to the president is supposed to be in charge. McCain doesn’t have the problem there that Obama does. McCain is experienced, Obama isn’t. McCains VP doesn’t have much national experience. Obamas pick of Biden made sure the VP knows more than the President. That’s a lot like Bush and Cheney if you think about it. Lol, how’d that work out?

It’s to bad the RNC had to be scaled back as much as it was. However McCain and the Republicans were in a no win position. He really could have used the boost from the convention and we all would have found out more about Palin. If he didn’t scale back and the hurricane was a horribly huge disaster he would have been accused of not caring.

There’s another problem with hurricane Gustav and that’s if the govt doesn’t do one hell of a lot better job than they did with Katrina, McCain is an sutomatic loser in the Presidentail election. I doubt the people will put up with the govt screwing things up so disaterously, twice. Considering it’s the Republicans that have been in charge for both hurricanes they’d better do one hell of a lot better this time.

Hurricane Gustav is almost the perfect definiton of Karma where politics is concerned. Neither side can control the weather, all they can do is rect to what happens. McCain has much more at stake if it’s as badly mishandled as Katrina was.
