This’n That About The Net

   Well boys and girls, we have the presidential debates coming right around the corner.  I am wondering if the 16 Trillion we are in debt should be a topic for discussion… or, should I say, how in  the samhill we should set about getting out of the problem.

   Well, President Obama thought it serious enough he appointed what was known as the Erskine Bowles Commission to foster ideas on how to find fiscal sanity.  Course when they came forth with  what many in this country thought might work, President Obama went AWOL – in other words he did NOTTA!!!

   So that brings us to the upcoming debates.  Do you think Erskine/Bowles might be a popular target for probing the candidates?  Not according to the democrats. Reps. Mike Honda (D-Calif.), Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) are crying foul, writing in a letter to the debate commission on Tuesday that although the Simpson-Bowles commission’s plan “may contain proposals helpful to our recovery… to hold it out as the only pathway to fiscal responsibility and economic success is foolish and wrong.”

   We shall see if the people conducting the debates can  be persuaded to NOT ask the tough questions?  How are ‘you’ betting?
