Musings 2014 1 16
Rep Darrell Issa is pursuing investigation of possibility of
breach of security of ACA, even though to date no such breach has occurred, and
he is ignoring the very real breach of security at Target stores, which has
affected over 100 million people.
About TPP
·
Have you heard anyone talking about TPP and FTA,
that is Trans Pacific Partnership and Fast Track Authority, besides Ed Schultz,
Thom Hartman, and Amy Goodman?
·
Sen Max Baucus,(D-MT) chair of the finance committee, has the same
fervor for TPP that he had against Public Option in ACA. Will he have the same success with this issue
as with the ACA? Still, he is going to
be ambassador to China, I guess his stances pay off.
·
When Max Baucus convened the finance committee
hearing into FTA, he had four witnesses, three who favored FTA, and one, a
union leader, who opposed.
·
They are trotting out the same tired old
arguments: “Malaysia has a 40% tax on
tires from USA, we don’t have any on theirs,” in 1994 it was “Mexico has a 20%
tax on tires, we don’t have any on theirs.”

More on TPP
·
Someone just tweeted on the Ed show, “TPP stinks
more than the water in WV.”
·
TPP—Take People’s Paychecks; Toilet Paper
Politics; Terrible Public Policy;
·
New Balance is the last major athletic shoe
manufacturer in the U.S. (though I have been told not all their production
takes place in USA)
·
A tweet:
What is wrong with Obama? Jesus Mary
and Joseph help us all.
·
A tweet:
President Obama, please don’t break our hearts.
·
I love Rep DeFazio. Not only is he a staunch progressive, He is so sweet
·
I love Rep Delauro. Beauty is as beauty does. As plain a plain Jane as can be imagined,
always dresses well, always speaks well, always on the right track. Don’t you love that red streak in her hair?
·
This is the closest vote ever on a question posed
by Ed Shultz. Do you think the president
will back down on TPP? 47% say yes. 53%
say no. So sad, that we should doubt our
president.
Because we hear so much umbrage directed at that dictator
Obama, for all his executive orders, please note: Number of executive orders during first terms: Reagan-213, HWBush-166, gwbush-173,
Obama-147. Obama had fewer executive
orders during first term than any president in the last 100 years.
The Three “I’s”
There were three governors elected for the first time in
2009—of Guam, Virginia, and New Jersey.
Since then, One has been Impeached, one Indicted, and one is being
Investigated. What a year that was.
Gov Christie says he is going to run his state for the
people who pay for it. Does he mean the
corporations who buy the govt, or does he mean the rich who pay taxes,
thereby demeaning those who are too poor
to pay taxes.
Bill Press says “It’s cold as HELL.” Yeah, right.
Notes on two women on msnbc:
Alex Wagner’s mother, Tin Swe Thant, is an immigrant from Rangoon, Burma.[1]
Her father, Carl Wagner, is from Iowa and of German and Irish descent, and is a prominent Democratic Party political
consultant who co-chaired Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign.[4]
Wagner was raised Roman Catholic.[5]
Karen Finney, [with msnbc, of Disrupt, 4 p.m., Sat &
Sun] who is African-American on her father's side, is also a
"great, great, great, great niece" of Robert
E. Lee on her mother's.
Someone’s quote: “And
remember, while not all conservatives are stupid, all stupid people are
conservative.”
So, in the Ukraine, people are protesting new laws
forbidding them to protest.
What would happen if the couple of million people who have
had their unemployment insurance cut off were to do sit-ins at their local
legislator’s offices during this ten-day paid vacation they, the legislators,
are having? Maybe also the
half-a-billion people who have no health insurance because their states turned
down Medicaid expansion program? The
workers who have had their food stamps cut?
