While we have our attention on a real and disguting war against the interment of immigrant children, the GOP Congress is still at work.

The robbery is underway.

House GOP plan would cut Medicare, Medicaid to balance budget

“House Republicans released a proposal Tuesday that would balance the budget in nine years — but only by making large cuts to entitlement programs, including Medicare, that President Trump vowed not to touch.”

www.msn.com/…

WRONG!

It’s prepaid insurance, not an entitlement.

We pay into the insurance program for 30, 40 or even 50 years for a benefit that will be paid starting at retirement,

Not Just Wrong, it is an EVIL con job against all of us.

It’s an attempt to turn us against each other. At first we promise retirees that we won’t touch their Medicare, just the future generations. Then once the younger voters have had their future prepaid benefits stolen from them, they come after the retirees as a “special interest group of greedy retirees who must sacrifice like the rest of us”. Young people will be slow to back them up because they have already been robbed of their own prepaid Medicare benefits.

Draft Richard Trumka for the Senate.

The GOP didn’t win enough seats last Tuesday to take over the Senate, but that doesn’t mean that they have given up.

How many Blue Dogs are in play out there? I see that Manchin is the #1 target of the GOP, but Lieberman and Ben Nelson are also on their wish list.

Well it happened. Citigroup is at penny stock levels. It just dropped below a dollar per share. $265 billion in equity has been destroyed in the last 6 months. This is a sad day.

Roger Stone has a videotape of Charlie Crist kissing a girl. He says it proves that Crist is not gay. I guess that make him OK to pick as a VP nominee.

Let’s take a look for a moment at the possibility that Hillary is right and that the Super-Delegates agree with her and make her the nominee. Let’s look at the results:

Wake up people! All this stimulus talk is a scam.

All the talk is about giving taxpayers a "Tax Rebate"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...

He also called for tax relief for individuals _ probably to come in the form of one-time rebates. But he did not say how much money Americans would get to keep or the amount of other tax incentives that could be in the package. Nor did Bush detail how the nation would pay for such a plan.

This is my first diary, so please be kind.

It seems like the biggest supporters of the presidents right now are the "Democrats are Satan" crowd. Here is a way to frame the absurdity of Bush's unlimited power grab.

Just agree with them for a minute. Tell them that you agree that the president should not be restrained in his war on terror. Remind them that only those who have something to hide should be afraid. Then remind them that George said that the war would last a generation. Let them know that George's actions will be a precedent for the presidents who follow him.

Then just ask them if unlimited executive power or wiretaps on US citizens without warrants will be OK when Hillary Clinton or Howard Dean becomes president in 2008. Remind them that only people with something to hide would be afraid of having their phones tapped and email read.

Watch their heads explode.

Happy Holidays.
