Rambling Along Life’s Path

   The news the other day again woofed about The Octomom being way behind on her rent in her 400K house.  Article said the landlord was really getting tired of this and was gonna finally put her out <THIS TIME>.  I do NOT care.  “Please” put her out!!!

   George W must be smiling right about now.  The democrats are eating themselves over the tax issue.  For the entire eight years Bush was in office his tax cuts were bad, horrible, whatever descriptive you can come up with.  Now, (and they do still control things), – they are going to end up extending the tax rates Bush implemented.  You can see it coming from a mile away.  Think about this just abit.  The ‘know’ there has never been a time when raising taxes has generated jobs.  I always hear about during the Clinton years taxes were higher.  If you allow your mind to slip back gently. you will remember the internet was just getting up and going – bigtime.  Al G and all that rot.  I can remember seeing all the money flying around and yet looking at the bottom line of companies and saying… where is the actual money?  Don’t just think about companies like Google.  Too many to count went tango uniform (if you need that explained), just ask.  It was a bubble, much like what happened with housing.  Doesn’t matter; Bush just has to be smiling abit.

   We keep being told if the unemployment benefits are not extended beyond the current 99 weeks, 600,000 will be added to the unemployment ranks almost immediately. Well, let us now apply that sort of logic to a few other things. Let us pay farmers to quit tilling their land thereby ‘increasing’ the food supply. Let us quit drilling for petroleum, thereby increasing oil supplies.  Should work doncha think?  Sometimes the logic given to us by government mouthpieces is astounding.  And yes I do know we currently pay farmers to not plant, and our current government has in essence quit drilling for ‘new’ oil.  I am not sure what to make of the length of time one can draw unemployment.  I do know that over the years I was working I did things at times I did not want to do.  It was because I wanted to eat. 

   I am going to do my very best to not make a mess when Nancy turns the gavel of The House over to John when the new Congress convenes.  I will make sure I am sitting on a double towel.

   Remember when they told us if we got tougher on illegals we would not have fresh vegetables cause they would rot in the fields?  Supposedly, depending on whom one talks to, the numbers of illegals has decreased.  In fact with the high unemployment rate in this country, many have returned to home base.  Umm, have you had any problems getting veggies?  Just wondering and wandering, looking for answers.
