Here is what I know: our Congress is about to pass a tax “cut” that shows a huge degree of corruption and incompetence. It’s being done behind closed doors with no debate. It’s an example of what both the left and right, the Tea Party and Occupy Movement say is wrong with Washington. Our voices aren’t being heard yet again.

Trillion
Do any of you even know what that number means? I thinks it's a thousand billion. The new tax cuts will add a trillion dollars in new debt. Are you a Tea Party member who thinks the government is just stealing? Or a Bernie Bot who thinks that we need provide better services? Get real. … Continue reading Trillion
Reality
The reality is that there is no right and there is no left. They are false realities to obfuscate, confuse distort. There is one reality: those in power take from those on the outside. Communism, fascism, capitalism, Nazism, Maoism, they all have in common that that powerful take from others. Don't get me wrong. They … Continue reading Reality
Walter Cronkite

I Still Don’t Understand…
The Vietnam war ended, variously when I was 12 or 13. It all depends whether you measure it when the US left or Saigon fell. I was young, yet the whole thing has been a big definition of who I became.... Things I know... I get tired of politicians saying, that when someone young dies … Continue reading I Still Don’t Understand…
Still wondering…
Family members tell me that love trumps hate. Yet the haters have the guns and kill. And last night, the Trump AZ "rally". How did love prevail there?
