Well…just a short one on the dissection that is going on right now about the election last night…the whole thing has centered on the mechanics of the election…about the execution and the organization that won the election…but I don’t think that’s it at all, I think it was the ideas that won the day…that people didn’t want more tax cuts for the rich…they don’t want the government interfering in peoples lives…that the whole idea of trickle down economics is not the direction that most of the people want to see…we want to see a way to strengthen the middle class and have good jobs for everyone that wants one…and they like the direction we are going…so, let’s keep going…

Newt’s “ideas”….
Well…this one is going to be a place holder until I get my workout in and then decide whether or not to ride the bike…the topic is going to be Newt’s “ideas” and the premise that all ideas are good ones…quantity does not equal quality…
Okay, this one formed in my head quickly and then dissipated just as quickly…so I may have to change topics later today…or I may just add to this one…one thing I did want to talk about was the whole idea of getting rid of jobs that adults need to feed their families (think unionized janitors) and have those jobs given to poor kids to “help them learn how to work”…and one of the things I see wrong with this crazy proposal is the fact that it has been republican policies that have turned the entry level jobs that kids used to do to get acclimated to the workforce into dead end jobs for adults while their cronies in business have shipped the good jobs overseas. So, now he proposes to take another, supposedly stable set of jobs and make them so they won’t pay enough to live on, turning them into fast food-like jobs? Newt, take your crazy ideas an go back to your lobbying and sucking money out of the economy…and I want everyone to remember this: that Newt paid the largest fine in the history of congress to settle ethics violations and that is why he “retired” from the House…just ahead of expulsion. Geez…
