Did you hear the latest out of Washington D.C. and our Government?
Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner and the Obama administration is already pushing for a higher debt ceiling. Remember last year when we went through all the threats of a government shut-down, and Obama threatened (in an off-handed way) to withhold social security and veterans checks? Well, get ready for more of the same!
Geithner has already fired a shot across the Republicans bow saying, ““We hope they do it without the drama and the pain and the damage they caused the country last July…”
The amazing thing to me is that the amount of “pain and drama” caused is shared more by the Dems than the Repubs, based on Obama’s 2008 campaign promises to get government spending under control and get the budget balanced! (A little side note to all those throwing dollars at Obama because of his “stance on gay marriage”, beware and pay attention to his actions, both past and present, not just his words! It would appear as if lies have been told to nearly every “group” or “division” of American society.) The Republicans that supposedly caused all this “pain and drama” were elected to slow down and reverse the out-of-control government spending, not to go along with whatever the President wanted.

In the New Your Times online edition, yesterday (01 Oct, 2011) “Seeking Taxes, Romney Went After Business” (by Michael Barbaro) appeared, highlighting some of the ways Governor Romney’s administration went about closing deficits in the Massachusetts state budget.
The basis of the article is that Romney went after “loopholes” that businesses in the state enjoyed and both Romney and most of the Democrats claimed was not right and not fair. To me, this points out one of the greatest issues with politics, and the reporting of politics in America today. (more…)
