It is not likely that the Federal deficit was caused by all that frivolous spending on Planned Parenthood, or education, or health costs. The deficit was caused by poor management, plain and simple. The health of our nation depends upon healthy fiscal roots and simply put: we got root rot.
It is the definition of hubris to cut 60 billion dollars in funds to the most needy while maintaining the same salaries for our representatives. I'm calling for a ten percent cut in all salaries to elected officials across the nation. They can do what they want to their appointed fellows. What are they going to do? Get elected somewhere else where they have higher pay?
Have we learned nothing from Cairo? Are we not paying attention to what is happening in Bahrain and most especially what our fellow working-class citizens are doing in Madison, WI. The Governor of Wisconsin remains "unfazed" by the protests. Of course he is unfazed--he doesn't give a flying bee about the working class.

There will be more on this.
That was me back in the 1970's traveling through the south. Presently I'm very settled in the west. Much has happened, many roads have been traveled, in between then and today. This is my personal blog, I don’t do much editing and I won’t split hairs over split infinitives and that kind of stuff. It is musings and ramblings with a point that won't poke out your eye. But it might make you blink. Please also visit: http://morriskight.blogspot.com/
