Please don't do Koch

Quick blog posting.

As I prepared to blog about a troll on my Twitter TL, I took the time to read two links.  I was very disturbed by what I read.

The first link was about MS becoming a nuclear waste storage state.  My first response was hell no.  The state is too small to store nuclear waste.  We also border one of the major rivers in the United States that feeds into the Gulf of Mexico.  We as a state need to think on this $$$ making opportunity.  Sometimes it is best to go without than to make a little money.  Something the Koch candidate for Senate in NJ is preaching to single mothers.

 I was upset this challenger to Corey Booker was attempting to shame single mothers into giving up SNAP benefits.  He falsely stated there were no such programs when he was a kid. If he and his sibling received death benefits, after his father's death, they were getting a government benefit.  His mother did not do it on her own.  Some people fail to think of the Social Security death benefit to children as government benefit like SNAP but it is.   Amazing how this Koch works.

Koch did not hid their intent to PR people into accepting less as they, the Kochs, get more.  I hear people making less than $100K repeating this nonsense.  I hear people who have known the financial devastation of cancer say we don't need the EPA.  Koch has gotten their money worth in their PR campaign via media and lobbying of elected officials.  It is time for people to wake up in America.  We need to stop voting for corporate owned candidates who do not serve the people.  This nation went to war many years ago because of the unfair advantage given to corporations by the government (research the Real Tea Party).

Take me over the cliff - again

I expect many Americans in my fiscal position are fed up with the GOPs continued fight for the rights of the wealthy to pay less in taxes.  I say take me over the cliff.  I recently found a Twitter account regarding the $250K threshold.   Many of the tweets\RTs where describing the hardships of $250K living.   It is time for a reality check across the board in America.    If the grown-ups were honest about this fiscal mess, they would admit the tax cuts must end for all.  The ending should be in stages to reduce the likelihood of the need for public assistance for working\working-poor families.  Although $250K is different for different parts of the U.S.A it does mean you are not in the ghetto. There is no $250K/individual ghetto in America. If you are reading this posting and you know of such a ghetto, please let me know for I need to move to that state.  If taxes go up for individuals making $250K and above they will not face a n...

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi. ...

We can not afford tax cuts

After the Senate failed twice to make any headway on tax cuts and UI benefits, I took a little timeout from shouting to be silent. I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes being quiet with my son as we watched Harry Potter. Today, I awaken early to get to the store to buy food to aid in my son’s combat of the season’s first cold. During the shopping and the quiet time, I continued to wonder if maybe I am the one missing something. I do not have the alphabet soup behind my name or statistical knowledge, as do those in the Senate. I may be alone in seeing a crisis where there is none. However, just as I thought to put away the shingle of my blog in favor of teaching public school, I got a retweet of a NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/05/us/politics/05states.html?_r=1&src=twt&twt=nytimespolitics). Reading the article I was reminded how, my close to retirement age mother, who has advanced degrees, was laid-off as a teacher under the guise of budget cuts from the state....
