Damn the Icebergs Full Speed Ahead

Rahm Emanuel White House Chief of Staff is doing the Sunday TV talk shows to promote President Obama's programs. He was asked why the current budget bill before Congress has 9,000 earmarks? His response was that the bill was last years business not something of the current Administration. Maybe he should ask the US Senator from Illinois that held the seat last year why he put in his own earmarks. If President Obama could help craft legislation this year to give us a current 1 TRILL IAN DOLLAR budget deficit, why can't he stop 9,000 additional spending earmarks in a bill started last year but still not even passed or signed this year. Rahm Emanuel did say all spending earmarks will be made public for everyone to see. That sounds like we will continue to have wasteful spending from Washington but they will let you know about it. I believe the Captain of the Titanic did announce to the passengers that the ship was having trouble but there was no need to worry.


If anyone sees Congresswoman Bean while they are traveling outside our community, please let her know that spending large sums of money with nothing in the bank is considered a crime in the private sector and doing the same in Congress is considered national disaster.


There are not enough life boats on our Ship of State, just as there were not enough life boats on the Titanic.
