John Boehner- Ideologues Harm America

April 11, 2021

His words ring true now more then ever given the U.S. House is currently shutdown in complete disarray. Can't say we weren't warned. Man he sure did have things pegged. Kind of makes you miss the guy who kept some of these screwballs from gumming up the works. Boehner is the guy who we never knew how good we had it till he was gone. What a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in. Can we ever hope to find someone able to assume the position of speaker who can keep these radicals in line?

LIVE STREAMING Minute To Minute Coverage Of The Israeli War

I recommend Al Jazeera because they have more reporters in Lebanon, the Gaza region, Isreal and elsewhere then the other two. They also seem to have more field journalists doing live reports on the ground.

How To Fix The Economy

Repost

It is the month of April. A resort town sits next to the shores of a lake. It is raining, and the little town looks totally deserted. It is tough times, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.

Suddenly, a rich tourist comes to town. He enters the only hotel, lays a 100 dollar bill on the reception counter, and goes to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one.

The hotel proprietor takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the butcher.

The Butcher takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the pig raiser.

The pig raiser takes the 100 dollar bill, and runs to pay his debt to the supplier of his feed and fuel.

The supplier of feed and fuel takes the 100 dollar bill and runs to pay his debt to the town's prostitute that in these hard times, gave her "services" on credit.

The hooker runs to the hotel, and pays off her debt with the 100 dollar bill to the hotel proprietor to pay for the rooms that she rented when she brought her clients there.

The hotel proprietor then lays the 100 dollar bill back on the counter so that the rich tourist will not suspect anything.

At that moment, the rich tourist comes down after inspecting the rooms, and takes his 100 dollar bill, after saying that he did not like any of the rooms, and leaves town.

No one earned anything. However, the whole town is now without debt, and looks to the future with a lot of optimism.

Medicare Advantage Plans Rip-off

alternet.org
OPINION:
The Medicare Advantage ripoff every American should know about
"President George W. Bush and Republicans (and a handful of on-the-take Democrats) in Congress created the Medicare Advantage scam in 2003 as a way of routing hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars into the pockets of for-profit insurance companies.

Those companies, and their executives, then recycle some of that profit back into politicians’ pockets via the Citizens United legalized bribery loophole created by five corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court."


It seems to me long as people sign up for these plans they are perpetuating the problem. There's many things we can't do about the crap congress pulls off, but this isn't one of them. People need to vote with their wallets by not signing up for these plans.
