This diary is not going to have any solutions to our economic problems, but just a basic question: Where do we hold the value of our people in relation to other things? From the looks of it, the answer is not too well.

An adage I use often is, ‘Don’t tell me your priorities, show me your budget, then I will show you your priorities.’ And unfortunately for my psyche there has been a lot of talk lately about our budget.

This diary is not going to be on exact numbers within the budget, or where to cut, or how much to tax; it is just a bit of reflection for a moment, about where we are as a country, and a people.

Follow me below the fold.

I am a lurker, this is my first Diary in a few years. Here goes...

Why is Harry Reid still our Majority Leader?

There have been many great diaries on here discussing everything we did to get 59 senators, and the bonus with Spector; so I will not go into that. However we are at a 'line in the sand' moment within the Democratic party. If we do not pass a comprehensive public option health care bill in T-Minus 15 months, when will we ever?

Rep. Brown-Waite (FL-5) has admitted to knowing about when Mr. Foley went into the page dorms. She also has admitted to being best friends with him in congress. John Russell, her opponent in this race, has sent out all this information to the press. Only 1 out of 3 papers has even picked it up and they still haven't published a story on it. If we want to change congress next week we must let the people in District 5 FL know they are being lied to by their media and let them understand what all she knew, and did not do, to protect the safety of these children in D.C. Below is the letter the John Russell campaign sent to Washington. Read More
