Solyndra Fiasco

What we have here is Bush Lite. The current occupant is not familiar with accounting practices, spread sheets, balance sheets, investment banking or how Washington works. He is lost like Jimmy Carter: good guy but not mean enough. Constitutional law is wonderful but does not address the sweeping changes that need to be made. We have nonsense on a massive scale. Fox is not to blame and neither is PMSNBC. Sean Hannity does not govern. Neither does Chris Matthews. The idea that pundits who have no command of the English language should have this much influence defies common sense. William Buckley could read and write unlike the current crop of pseudo conservatives. "I think we need Harry Truman."
Harry is dead. He is not coming back. 

They all want to be frightened and get me to be also. The country is not the East Coast nor the West Coast. That is where the money is located. We cannot go backward and Shane is not going to solve our problems. The Lone Ranger was invented in Detriot for radio. He is not real. The country goes on in spite of the idiots in power.  None of the current crop of congressmen/senators will ask the electorate to do the right thing. They are there to be reelected and nothing else.
They fear the electorate. Where is the Foghorn Leghorn when we need him?
There is no facet of my life or yours that does not interest them. When was the last time you heard any of them say "That's none of my business.."? 

I watched the Solyndra hearings and NOBODY WAS RESPONSIBLE! The guy being questioned as to who approved the loan could not say who signed off on it. This is no different than Halliburton during the Bush Administration. No one thought to ask "Why are you wasting our time if you cannot give intelligible concise answers?" Talk about who needed to be water boarded! We need to make use of enhanced interrogation with all governmental officials. This is not Democrat or Republican.

Obama got elected on the slogan "Hope". It was an advertising campaign. There is no Republican candidate who can be taken seriously. I would vote for David Stockman who says we have to pay for EVERYTHING through taxes. He worked for Reagan. He pointed out that Ronnie raised taxes four times. The Democrats think spending solves everything and The GOP says all problems including cancer and acne are solved by tax cuts. Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with real life is nuts. It is a soap opera without the organ music (think of Search for Tomorrow on CBS). All of this would be funny if not for the consequences.

Mike Golic is one of my favorite sports commentators  and this is a quote.
" Anybody who thinks sports is real life is crazy." The same is true for broadcast hacks. There is nothing I can do to affect the situation until voting day. Getting upset is a waste of time.

I once heard a guy say "I get all my information where all good Americans do: Television". Unfortunately this has come to have an enormous influence on the electorate.
The fact that we now have 500 channels and not enough programming content leads to reruns of trash and bloviating politicians. They all need face time. What better use of cspan than hearings on an obvious blivit. (Ten pounds of pig manure in a five pound sack.) It is just the current piece of gristle to chew on.

Tax the rich? Where the hell do you think they get their money? Tax businesses? Who do you think will really foot the bill? That's right, Sparky. You and I will pay through increased prices.

Reduce taxes? What will cover the deficit other than borrowing and what does that do to the value of the dollar. Again the consumer pays.

We need to get over the idea that the other guy should pay for stuff. It doesn't work that way.
