You’d think the country had been built on sound-bites. “Death Panels”, “No coverage for seniors”, “a bankrupt America”…those are words that make the headlines. I’ve been accused of not having read the bill by readers who have also not read the bill. Here is the section of the bill that provides for counsellors [...]
Listening to the sound bites coming out the mouths of “regular Americans” showing up at town hall meetings to “discuss” health care reform, you’d think we lived in a society on the verge of a civil war over health care. I’ve been watching, with great interest, the mouthy, screaming attendees, drowning out our [...]
By now, the news of Republican Senator Jim DeMint’s comments to the GOP that defeating healthcare reform would “break” Obama is old news. That conference call comment struck such a sad, sad chord in my heart. The polarization of politics has absolutley trumped the welfare of the American people. Isn’t this country supposed to [...]
I’m having a sleepless night and just read Ronni Bennet’s (Time Goes By) post about the new Health Care Reform legislation that is squeaking by as we speak. What I like about Ronni is that she always backs her observations with solid references so that you can dig as deep as you’d like [...]
Well, I’m sure many of you aren’t shocked, but here I sit, having a coffee (de-caf) with my mother, discussing how she STILL hasn’t received any…ANY…test strips from her mail order prescription provider, Prescription Solutions. Please refer to my post from last week, which in turn, refers you to my mother, Corinne’s blog [...]
This past week, there were three specific posts that caught my eye and I am compelled to share them with you. The first, comes from Ronni Bennett at Time Goes By. A reader’s comment about ageism spurred her on to write an article about ageism and prejudice that will ring true for all [...]
If you haven’t visited the White House website lately, it is a must-see at www.whitehouse.gov Not only are there daily updates, but they are exciting.
No way to segue gracioiusly here, but if you have a kid and have been to Disneyland in the past few years, then you might have enjoyed the [...] The California budget and economy is falling apart. 21,000 state employees are getting layoff notices in about a minute. Those remaining will be forced to take 2 day furloughs per month — but at least they’ll still have their work. The federal stimulus package was just signed by Obama, so over time, some lost [...]
Whether you agree with the details of the stimulus package or not, it had to be passed. Politicians can posture as much as they want, but the reality outside of Washington, DC is pretty dire.
Today, on Friday the 13th, while across the US, kids in elementary schools (yes, even in California, which [...] Unemployment in California has hit 9%. That is just plain bad. So I can’t understand why so many politicians are trying to put the brakes on Obama’s stimulus package. At the Democratic caucus, Obama reiterated the point of a stimulus package …to…spend money to create jobs. And with so much money going toward infrastructure rebuilding, I can’t [...]
