Well…as time goes on, I am getting happier with Joe and how he’s handling the presidency….after repairing the broken vaccine system that the idiot trump left him and getting almost 150 million shots in arms by today, and then going big on the covid recovery plan to the tune of 1.9 trillion dollars ( that I still haven’t seen a dime of by the way) and now starting to work on infrastructure that has been ignored since the moronic tax cutting that started with Reagan, Joe is showing a spine behind that smile…especially when it comes to trying to get the repubs to come along and help with getting this country going again….I wonder why they are still trying to play by the obstruction playbook when the entire country wants to get things going, including almost 60% of repubs? Just the other day, Joe made the point to them that they could do something good for the country by working with him to repair the crumbling roads, bridges and electrical grid…along with helping more people who are struggling with child care and the new normal of working from home that requires high speed internet everywhere across the country….or he will do it with just the dems so get off your hands and pitch in in that folksy way that you just can’t get mad at…although the repubs are doing their best to do just that, playing to their ever shrinking base. It’s pretty damn nice that we have a functioning government again with competent people running it….but the repubs will never admit that….they are just too stupid or cynical to get onboard…geez…

More republican nonsense…
Well…I’ll bet you’re getting tired of my pointing out the nonsense that comes daily from the repubs, but someone has to do it and I really, really wanted to point this one out since it is so representative of the contempt the repubs have for the unemployed in this country. Instead of working on a real jobs bill that will help put people back to work, (and let’s not confuse the tax cut nonsense they are pushing for a jobs bill), the repubs in the house are going to waste the better part of a day this week on a resolution that will affirm that the “official” motto of this country is “In god we trust”. Yep, folks, I’m not making this up…in this one fell swoop, and in a bow to their evangelical base, these idiots are telling the 20% of us non-believers that there is no place for us here unless we allow the majority to force this bit of nonsense on us. When are we, as a country, going to stop voting for these do nothings whose only purpose in life is to make sure that the economy stays in the tank so Obama can’t get credit for it. And now, in an article that I just read….none of the senate repubs are going to vote for necessary infrastructure spending since it will be paid for by a tax of .7% on those whose incomes are over a million dollars a year. So, the rest of the nation is left to suffer crumbling roads, bridges, and schools just so the repubs can protect the unconscionable wealth of the 1%. I think their time is gonna come…to quote Led Zeppelin…geez….
More Snyder taxes on the people…
Well…the latest move by our gov here in Michigan is another slap in the face for the working people here…in case you haven’t heard, his latest proposal to transfer all of the tax burden here to the people of Michigan comes in the form of a proposal to pay for all of the road improvements that are sorely needed by raising the fee to register a car here by $160 per car. Yep, you heard it right…he wants to install another regressive tax on individuals in this state that can’t even afford what the fee is now…and this will be in addition to the current fees that can run upwards of $200 per car. All of this to raise 1.4 billion dollars that is necessary to fix our roads….all this after he raised the taxes of everyone but corporations…all of this after he gave away 1.3 billion dollars to corporations to create jobs…and guess who doesn’t own cars? So, all of the damage being done to the roads by trucks that carry to goods for corporations is going to be paid for by you and me? What does he want next….for us to build factories and offices for them? Oh, that’s right…we’re already doing that with the 1.3 billion in tax cuts that you and I are paying for….can you say class warfare again? Geez…
Where are the jobs Governor Snyder?
