This’n That

   Did you know two of the ways Congress planned to pay for the new health care were 1) eliminating the high end of the Bush tax RATES, and 2) cutbacks in payments to doctors in Medicare?  Well, let’s see now – Congress capitulated on the cuts to the doctors, and I think we all know the Bust tax RATES for all will continue. 

   I was no ‘real’ fan of President Clinton, although he looks pretty good right now, but… it was so interesting watching the body language last week when Presidents Obama and Clinton took the stage after their meeting.  President Clinton absolutely dominated the scene.  I nearly felt sorry for President Obama.

   Not to fear what with the gas prices rising.  We can just buy more from the Arabs.  Ha ha ha ha ha ha.  Good grief, when will we ever learn?  And, along the same lines,  if ethanol cannot stand on its own two feet it should be eliminated.  Quit subsidizing things that do not sell.  Like GM!!!  Just a side note – gas was averaging $1.81 when President Obama took office. 

   I’m STILL waiting to have problems buying vegetables.   They told us there would be nobody to pickem when they cracked down on the illegals, and they ‘did’ tell us they were crackin down, so umm, I’m just a wondering when the shortage will show up in the commissary. Oh well, off to make a salad to munch on with some ham.
