The Federal Deficet has come down drastically in recent years and now stands at 485 Billion or something. I bookmarked the site and now can't find it. But the deficet to GNP ratio is also continuing to rise- - or elongate. So the percent of the economy spent in dealing with the deficet has continued to shrink. If you combine this with lower unemployment than we've had in six years, and also that most people consider the Affordable Care Act a success now, with more younger people enroling than expected- - things should be looking good for the President this November, assuming he was on the ballot, which of course he is not. Oil prices are down and domestic energy production of all types is up - - and gasoline prices have come way down at the pump. This will have the effect of money in people's pockets to spend on the economy to get it going. How the Republicans are going to gin up Hysteria necessary for them to still win seems- - nebulus- - because their problem now is the social issues. It used to be democrats were afraid of mentioning social issues- - but now the shoe is on the other foot and the Republicans decline discussion of social issues like kryptonite. They know it's the devisive wedge in their party that will undo them. People like Huckibee are threatening to split the party on this issues and this is only good news for democrats. Under the best possible scenario for Republicans, they'd got another two years and then it's curtains for them. They are through, not only for 2016 but probably for all time. Think about that one to uplift yourself.
Today is Columbus Day where we celebrate the founding by this continent by the Rapist in Chief, Christopher Columbus,who like Bob Dylan has sex and thinks it's a religious experiance so he calls it Born Again Christianity, or something. He brags about how cheap thirteen year old slave girls are the way Mitt Romney brags about those Chinese workers locked in a building with suicide nets and fences all around to prevent these mainly female laborers from escaping. To hear anyone DARE to say Columbus in the same sentence as "spreading christianity" is enough to make me up-chuck! What the white people spread was a lot of VD and maybe we preached Christ to them- right before completely wiping out their population. In response to these glaring facts anybody can look up, cities like Seattle have as an alternative come up with indiginous people's day. And need I remind you that the German term of "homeland" has a rather racist tinge, because WHITE people are NOT the "indiginous peoples of North America and hence have no right to call this land our "Homeland". The term was coined by the Nazis, who got it from the Zionists- - - who, even though genetically (one issue the KKK is actually right about) today's Jews have NO genetic connection to the peoples of the Bible in ancient times- - hence the idea again of a "homeland" that isn't. And like we in America their goal is to disposess the peoples to whom the land actually belongs. In Germany they would say things like "If there is so much as one German living in a country, we have the right to take over that country so that those Germans "have a home". We see the same thing going on in Ukraine where Putin says "so long as there are ANY Russians living in another country then WE have the right to take THAT country over. Capish? When I was in school we never celebrated Columbus Day as a holiday. Let's go back to those times.
A
bunch of us were outside and Joe was joking about space aliens taking
over the government, and Nancy Bell said there was some program on at
11:30 tonight on this very topic. And I chimed in (foolishly) saying
"Sometimes
I think President Obama is a space alien because nothing "gets to
him". He's impervious to criticism or racist remarks or discontent from
his political base and enemies alike, and I was thinking you'd almost
have to have ice water in your veins not to let all of the pressures of
the office "get to
you". Then Nancy Bell says, "What are you talking about. This
President whines about everything and he's always blaming the
Republicans in congress for not getting the things done he wants to
do". Needless to say I thought this comment was completely nutty. So I
ask her "Name me one program that the president wanted implemented that
he somehow falsely blamed congress for not doing". Of course she
couldn't cite a single example to support her broad brush stroke
remark. Also I said to Nancy "Well- - President Obama is in limbo about this new war on ISIS because congress hasn't authorized anything, and the constitution expressly states that war authorizations are only allowed to extend for two years, and must originate in the House. But I thought 'Just another victim of FOX news obviously"
because people may know NOTHING about the FACTS of anything but state
their FOX "talking points" with bold confidence.
I'm
strongly for proposition 46 and hope you are too. The people opposed
to it are an odd collection of - - insurance companies, physicians who
want to take drugs, women's abortion clinics - - and the ACLU, which is
in part understandable, but keep in mind they're also against alcohol
check points on the highway. Perhaps the biggest benefit of Proposition 46 is that it will effectively put an end to "doctor shopping" to find a pushover physician to prescribe oxy-conton or some other illicit drug. This is why you need a drug data base, and also, I imagine, to prevent other inadvertant drug interraction accidents. They debated and examined this proposition
on News Conference on KNBC this morning. It was pointed out - - a
question the "No" people couldn't answer of "If $250,000 was fine for
the Insurance Companies in the late seventies, why not just adjust for
inflation and restore the value of that figure to today's dollars.
Because with a payment cap so low on damages- - poor people can't find
an attorney who
will take a case for that small of an ammount.
I watched “News conference” on KNBC and their
topic for the whole half hour was Proposition 46. Proposition 46 is the most urgent
proposition to come along in a long time.
In my posting I’ll splice in the E mail dissertation right here. But let’s just say it was a man arguing for
the proposition because he lost two kids from a stoned physician in a car wreck
or something and couldn’t sue for losses.
(?) They have capped the “pain
and suffering” portion of your mal practice suit to $250,000. The lady seemed completely apathetic to the
notion that poor people are now effectively barred legally from being able to
sue their doctor no matter how blatant the offense. Libertarians say they stand for “personal
rights” like the slogan on “Hatriot Radio”.
Yet they are very weak on eminent domain abuses- - of rich people
“Jewing them out of their property” or else giving up their constitution-ally
guaranteed right to access to the trial court system and a jury trial. I fail to see how a libertarian could be for
George Bush’s TARP giveaway to the big financial institutions, or the massive
oil and energy subsedies. Yet we hear
that “All of the major newspapers have come out against Proposition 46”. I guess this says a lot about the political
interests that control them.
I heard very few Beatle
songs today on “Breakfast with the Beatles”.
They were either bantering back and forth with their live audience or
had one of two guests on, both ex members of Wings. They had Lawerence Jubar on who played “Drive
My Car” in one of his famous acoustic guitar renditions. Then it was Denny Lane. They played that demo version of “Rock Show”,
which Denny was keen on listening to.
This is the stripped down version - - with the long three minute trailer
at the end- - that concludes with the line “I’ve got tickets”. But often I was just out of the room
wandering around the building. I got two
cups of coffee in the courtyard at the break.
And of course I had football on some.
Interestingly I saw Joe a lot and at no time did he have his radio on
playing KLOS and certainly not in the dining room. We had spinach soup with an open faced roast
beef sandwich, with more spinach and mashed potatoes and gravy. We had grapes and other mixed fruit for
dessert. I had Leo Le Port on. He’s becoming a broken record saying how most
people don’t “need” an actual computer.
My mind works in strange ways.
It’s like FOX news telling Americans “You don’t NEED to read the US
constitution. We’ll send you a mailing
containing a page of our top fifteen talking points”.
Dr Levy did not come
yesterday, either in the morning or in the afternoon. Last time You will remember he’d not only
said “I’m looking forward to hearing your progress on quitting smoking next
week” but I also remember hearing him saying “I’ll bring something for us to
snack on next week when I come”. So
Lisha and Joe were debating “Does Dr Levy actually make PROMISES of
things?” Countless times he has offered
up strong inferences of future intent - - which in retrospect come off as
social miscues. I am pretty sure my
five and a half cigarette consumption of yesterday was a reflection of my
disappointment in not getting some sort of encouraging “pep talk” from Dr
Levy. If I really wanted to get
delusional I’d be hoping he had a pack of nicotine gum with him. Now they are expanding Indian gambling
casinos to non reservation lands with Proposition 48. If so this is a clear case of Voting No by
me.
