WATCH YOUR GOVERNMENT IN ACTION...

[raum]

Part of the rights of Americans is to watch their government. Who saw the last address from the State Dept. last night? I was watching it and it was very telling.

Sean McCormack is a hoot!

1. BOTH PRESIDENTIAL PARTIES have agreed that we have the same exact projected budget in Iraq until as late as 2017.

2. BOTH PRESIDENTIAL PARTIES have agreed that we finally have enough troops in Spec Ops to engage Afghanistan. They have been training in Southern US (prolly Ozarks), and undisclosed locations. Spec Ops are FINALLY back to pre-Clinton numbers, which is retrospect were far too low (duh!). Most of the budget excess for military action was reclaiming of the military budget from Clinton's downsizing.

3. BOTH PRESIDENTIAL PARTIES have agreed to the same exact budget in miltary advancement in the War on Terror on a global scale for the first year and a half of their potential term. Both have will and ability to move into Afghanistan, but Pakistan in the fray adds a new card to the deck, which is still unturned. Sean had no comment on anything about alot of stuff, because a coup in Pakistan would be a dealbreaking OMFG bad thing. North Korea's leader may be in Japan or even on his death bed,.. no comment. Lot's of No Comment, like 12 for 12 in a row and journalists got pissed! heh.

4. Everyone will be in their current office for at least 8 months before administration changes are totally done. No duty will be left unassigned. All reduction will be done AFTER full transition.

Stop watching the hype. Watch the meetings. Because what does the news say after this new of common equity in the war on terror (and yes, AP I saw you there in the front row!) another affirmation that McCain commits to Iraq War!!! what a joke...

Tonight on a Congressional meeting with small business owners, my heart was broken again. So many people are hurting in ways that are just not transparent without testimony.

Family based companies in business for 125 years for vital companies that make components everyone takes for granted are having to make their first layoffs ever.

and they haven't lost near as much as they will if their capital gains taxes are escalated... Companies are not going to survive the capital gains tax.
