He was talking about the Romney chances. Of course he was surprised by my hope for a senate and house win and a Romney trouncing. <br /><br />Looking back out the last couple 2/1 governments. Both Reagan and Clinton did well running the government with the opposition party. Peraps the same will be said under Obama and the 2Rs.<br /><br />My friend was a little taken back until I explained the concept. <br /><br />Who knows, we may even get an environmental package in effect. In Edith Ann's tribute we will call it the "EA HotAir Global Peace Treaty". The basis requires all politicans to reduce their hot air by 90 percent. Of course that is not possible, so we can expect a huge change in government as all the hot air expands, pops and we elect more "Commonsense Party" candidates. <br /><br />Have a great weekend. Sorry to hear of your loss. And thank you for the kind comments in the last blog. I really appreciated them. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-29875406731656564722012-09-21T08:17:23.598-05:002012-09-21T08:17:23.598-05:00America businesses have a lot of cash in reserve, ...America businesses have a lot of cash in reserve, the stock market is reaching new highs and foreign countries continue to invest in America, so if Congress gets their act together we still have a window to get the downward trend on our deficit and debt...We are completely ignoring excessive greenhouse emissions and its effect on our hot planet.<br /><br />As Elizabeth Warren said in her debate against Scott Brown last night, “if the GOP takes over the senate- we will have TWO (the house and the senate) climate change deniers in charge of our environmental and energy committees.".....We cannot replace the lungs of our coal miners in West Virginia or remove the toxic runoff into the rivers fast enough from mountain top removal coal extraction.<br /><br />Fact is, we can walk and chew gum at the same time but the single issue (money) people would have you think that we will be broke tomorrow unless we forget about everything else and just start cutting programs. Their ideology prevents them from seeing the devastation that will create. That includes a bill to get 700,000 thousand of our veterans back to work; even the bill is paid for.<br /><br />Well, we will begin our trip in a few minutes; back sometime tomorrow.<br /><br />Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668070524354374505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1674561724432497133.post-22072539667163413502012-09-21T07:12:01.953-05:002012-09-21T07:12:01.953-05:00I don't know Mike--Oprah dropped from #16 to #...I don't know Mike--Oprah dropped from #16 to #50 on the Forbes list...she's hanging by a thread. Things must be worse than you think!<br /><br />Like I said on your last blog--the planet we are leaving our children and grandchildren concerns me more than debt. The debt is always going to be an issue--it will never go away. But, if we don't get on board with helping this planet renew itself, and if we don't take this issue seriously, being debt free isn't going to count for a thing.Edith Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06623443279337364086noreply@blogger.com
