Look Ma, the Republicans are vaporizing! Awesome!
*GOP Votes Against Biggest Middle-Class Tax Cut In History
by thereisnospoon
Excerpt:
Every single member of the House GOP, and all but three members of the Senate GOP, voted not only against Obama's jobs creation program, but against the biggest tax cut in history. We already knew that 2010 would be a battle royale: Democrats would stress all the wonderful programs Republicans voted against, while Republicans would find the most objectionable pieces of spending promoted by Democrats and stoke as much outrage as possible over them. This kabuki theater is guaranteed to provide fodder for over-the-top political advertising; it's also guaranteed to make any efforts at bipartisan good feeling in Washington deteriorate even faster than we've already seen it do given GOP intransigence to date.
I can hear the Um-pah-pah of the band and see diarist thereisnospoon dancing his heart out!
Now is the time I wish, oh how I wish, I owned a public relations firm in Washington, D.C. on “K” Street, no less. Come Monday morning, I would guarantee a line around the corner with nothing but Republicans who would pay me anything, anything you hear, to sign them on as clients and all but a few being excessively vocal with their requests. Who says there was no “Stimulus money” in the Stimulus Package? The “Magic Negro” strikes again! How does he do it?
I would consider it magnanimous advice to tell the Republicans to start getting their personal finances in order as soon as possible. Spending more time at home with the family is eminent. A done deal, so to speak! Could America conduct business with a mostly Democratic congress and a handful of, say, six or seven Republicans and that would include “Scooter“, Dick Cheney, Boehner and Sarah Palin? We’ll see. (Smile)
Here is what I did before my retirement that may help: I got enough money out of my savings, it was not called a 401 in those days, but it was like one and paid down on my mortgage payments to the level one of my retirement checks would cover it. I never believed in using all the money from one pay check and half the other to pay either rent or make a mortgage payment. Also I tell all of my younger relatives to never move in a place with a person that would prevent them from paying the entire rent with their own single income if the other person moved out for whatever reason. Never! That’s the kind of guy I am. Things happen in relationships. And if the other person gets a dog, you get one too. If they get a cat, you get one of them too. There could be a real bone of contention especially if you do not have children and “things” start happening. If you truly love animals, having two of them you have gotten attached to is much better than having nothing. You‘ll manage.
Now if some of the good Republicans have non-working spouses, now maybe a good time to have a heart to heart kitchen table talk. They just may be lucky enough to land a job due to some money from the Stimulus Bill.
As always,
BB
