I am a TAX and SPEND hugger

Okay, I admit it. I am a closet liberal when it comes to writing a federal budget. I want lots of spending programs that put the out of work back to work. Back to work on public project. Roads, highways, bridges, railroads, airports, parks and county facilities. Spend, spend, and spend some more. Go for it.

Then I am hawkish on taxes. Tax the rich. Yes, tax the freaking rich. Screw the Koch Brothers and soak them for every dime. Go after Donald Trump and all the bloviating cash bloated Doo Doo heads. Get em Dan-O. Take back all that money sent to off shore piggy banks and bring it back to America.

I’m talking to you congress. Get off your fat butts and pass this budget and put America back to work. Oh! Don’t give me that Keystone pipeline crap. You know as well as millions others that is just to profit the oil companies. Also, you know congress, that oil will go straight to China and India. America will not benefit from one drop. Stop you’re big lies and BS’ing.

Pass this budget bill. Be brave. Be courageous. Be smart and pass this budget and stop whining.

Tax and Spend!!!

Social drinking again?

Let’s talk about our drinking water.  For the most part drinking water in our communities is safe and thirst quenching.  But, we are not talking about safe drinking water this time. 

I want to address the rhetoric about socialized this and socialized that.  Babble accusing democrats for their communal mongering.  Always wanting more taxes to fund so called welfare programs.  “Tax and spend again.”

If you haven’t been paying attention one of the biggest socialized programs in our state are the large presents of nearby lakes.  Man made lakes funded by federal dollars.  Lakes built during the Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administration.  Some lakes also providing electrical power.  Most providing recreational boating and sailing.  Many with state built lodges.  But most of all lakes providing water for drinking.  Drinking water collected, purified, and delivered to households by state and local municipalities.  Water brought to our water faucet in our kitchens and bathrooms.  Not to mention water to irrigate our lawns and gardens.

But here is my point.  Water collected and delivered to us and paid for by federal money and local taxes.  A social system if I have ever seen one.  Do we want to give up our drinking water just because it’s paid for by federal, state, and city taxes?  Well then, stop this socialized crap.  Or stop drinking our water.  There’s plenty of privatized water at the grocery store.  All in convenient plastic bottles.  Bottles often tossed away over the landscape.  Creating a privatized blight on the environment.
