The GOP plans for jobs: Beware of GOP bearing jobs

It seems I may have hit a nerve with a certain person I follow on Twitter.  While not responding to me directly, I saw the response to my question of "Where are the comprehensive job bills from the GOP House".  Well, as I have often stated there have been no truly comprehensive job bills from the GOP that do not defraud the public.  (Twitter limits one to 140 characters)  GOP Ideas for Jobs  Before voting for bills look closely I say and obviously Harry Reid has seen the light.  Each of these bills produce the means for more public money to be transferred to private individuals/corporations.  We the public get shafted while others become wealthy during our jobless recovery. 

I shall not go through the entire list but know they all are similar vehicles for the transference of wealthy from the public to corporations.  Click here for entire list


 Jobs at expense of health #1
I live in Mississippi where my governor was okay with letting BP off the hook for payments.  I enjoy having the options to hunt and fish without concern of pollution. I wish to continue to have such options.  Residents of the Coast are still dealing with oil sheen on homes.  At the risk of upsetting a few people, the gulf waters have not cleaned themselves at the time of this blog posting. 

Jobs at expense of health #2
Remember the self-regulation at a fertilization plant in Texas?  Enough said.

Jobs at expense of nation's future
Think China.  Think India.  Think how much do you have in your savings account vs Koch brothers.  Do we risk the lives of our children, grandchildren, and beyond for a few dollars today?
Rich have money to move
Think about it.

Moving public to private in the name of job training
I agree we need more vocational training in America.  However, I disagree with having young people go into debt for such training when it was once supplied via public schools.  This bill moves money from the public to private entities via the worst vehicle every, "bloc grants" to states.  These grants are not monitored and can be misappropriated for other projects deemed worthy by the governor.  If it seems I have a bitch, I am still stuck on Katrina. 

More pay for Wall Street less education for Americans
This bill H.R. 1911 was signed into law.  When you hear someone say tie interest rates to the market, you know you are being screwed

I know there is a desire by Democrats to work with the Republicans but it cannot be done at the expense of the working poor and the poor.  It should not be done at the expense of the actual middle class.  If you burden the underclasses then you start the failure of your economic structure.  The bills produced by the GOP controlled House are not job bills.  These bills are corporate giveaways that increase the wealth of a few while leaving many in economic uncertainty.  I am thankful he took the time from his busy day on Twitter to send this link.  Without the link I would have had to do a little work to discover just how deep in the pockets of the Energy Lobby this GOP controlled House really is at this time.  They are deep. 

It is up to us as Americans without lobbyist and it seems representation in DC to elect officials who give a damn about us.  We need officials who will not sell out this nation for a $ today leaving us the next China or India.  I don't care about your god, your sex, or even if you have sex.  I do care that we leave this world better than what we found it.  We can only do that if we refuse the temptation of greed to show love for one another and our planet.

White Boys Whine

Quick  and dirty   Star Trek  Discovery  is everything  I  thought  it would  be.  It is my hope the White  boys  chill the fuck out .  There will be a White male captain .   The Black  woman  will be of a lowered  status.  White  boys  are you appeased ? My personal  view fuck White  boys who had their dicks in a vise  over women  of color  at the helm of a fictional  space vessel.  I shall watch  Star Trek  Discovery .  I shall pay the fee to CBS Access  with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid  Netflix . Overall  I look  forward  to the day a fictional  show  that features  women  of color  in prominent  positions  doesn't  freak out White males.  They were  so freaked  out  they compared  The Orville  to Star Trek  Discover...

New century no time for old games

As I prepared to write my comments on the Marcus Smart/Jeff Orr incident, I noticed a grown-ass man push a chair in the path of two running children at McDs.  I moved the chair and informed the man I was helping him by preventing the children from tripping.  I informed him that if the children tripped he and I would have an altercation.  He had not one word to say to me.  Punk assed grown assed men don't fuck with grown-ups only those they consider weak.  These people are the ones who will take pics of their gun collections to post on FB or Twitter.  These are the ones who will heckle college kids with racial slurs, "go back to Africa", or "Where is your green card."  As a mother, I can only hope my example of not being a punk has become embedded in my kids.  Real strength comes from knowing who you are and not seeking to belittle others.  My thoughts on Marcus Smart and Jeff Orr are simple. Marcus don't let it get to you.  It is sad...

The words we use

Someone in the media is in hot water for calling the president a dick. In all fairness I have said worse about Dick Cheney and George Bush. Well Cheney. I do not think anyone should be in trouble for call president a dick. However I have yet to see President Obama do anything that warrants my calling him anything other than Mr. President. He has not started any unwarranted wars. He has not fought to keep the American people in financial bondage. He has worked to change the tax code to keep the American economy viable. Why would anyone call Obama a dick is beyond me. IMHO we have had people in power who were true dicks. They managed to screw the people of America and the world so badly it will take a decade to feel normal. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
