I was Close!


I was close to avoiding any more conversation on the ACA, after hearing Mr. Issa again beating the drum about the poor rollout of the ACA I am again making the statement that Congress is full of lame ducks! These morons are too busy trying to stay in office to tell the truth!. The failure on this rollout is as much their issue as the administration’s. The Congress had ample time to read this bill before it was enacted but did not, instead they took excerpts given them by their staff and ran with them. Remember the death camps? If ( and I hope it happens) the voters look behind the curtain they will see it is all smoke and mirrors (still).Their lack of vision is as bad as a parent not taking care of their children and expecting a good result in their upbringing and future life. A national insurance company hits the mark with the baby in the stroller stating” Ok, did anyone notice that mime was talking?- Freeeaky!” Did Congress notice that the ACA required reading before passage? What is freaky is that the seat fillers who are up for election will go forward as if they have really done something worthwhile and deserve to be elected again. If being in the media and making “bold” statements is doing their job then they have done so but if passing laws and insuring that their constituents know what the laws are about is their job, then they have failed with great fanfare. I can only say as Voters we all need to wake up and understand that we have a neer do well Congress who apparently cannot find the key to the executive washroom without a guide.

A Post From Martin


No surprise

women get things done

Abel Oldsworth, my reticent friend, told me he was not surprised that the Congressional Gentle Women or Gentle Ladies, as they are addressed, collaborated in getting compromises underway during the government shutdown and debt default messes.  It’s their gene based intuition or mind reading capabilities.

My wife reads me like a book.  For example, the other night, I was scanning concert attendees prior to its start and musing over some improper thoughts.  She poked me in the ribs and said, “Quit that!”

I had not even said a word.

As some Congressional Men snipe and investigate to stall legislative fixes, Gentle Women’s intuition and caring will again get solutions going.

He recalled the leadership of a former one.

There once was a Congress woman named Bridgett,

Who believed in fixits for legislation with glitches.

She reached across the aisle

In a nonpartisan style,

Outclassing the partisans who preferred just to ditch it.

Yeah for the USA

Happy Thanksgiving

ACA-still going on.


At last the legislators and critics of “Obamacare” aka the “Affordable Health Care Act” have moved in the direction of repairing the issues with the law. What if there was not an election cycle coming? ,the flaws in the law would still be the subject of political rhetoric and public outcry. It  would have made more sense to read and understand the law before enacting so that it would roll out as smooth as possible.  Instead pundits and elected officials spent public capital on trashing the act, leaving the people in limbo and under informed. There has been ample time to make adjustments and apply fixes but that valuable time was misspent much like our votes for Legislators who have been in office much too long. In order for Congress to work as well as it could, the voters need to spend less time waiting for opinions from the media and put more time in forming their own opinions through the process of accessing multiple sources of information. Opinions and information from a single source is similar to: ” when I want your opinion, I will give it to you”.
