02/10/09 Three Weeks - and still no "make up"

I suppose one of my favorite things about our new President is that he refuses to wear a mask, or mask anything we need to know with rhetoric or bullshit, as we have long become accustom to.

He has told us that not everything that we try to do to "fix" the economy is guaranteed to work the way it was intended. He admitted that he screwed up. No finger pointing, no deflection.
Accountability just like he campaigned with. He is leading by example. The question remains though, will we follow by example or will we keep doing, and living as we have in the past.

By now, in our own lives, we should know what works and what doesn't. We know we can't buy things beyond our means with the assumption that we will be able to afford it based on projected increases in our income. Those projections are not guaranteed.

As Whoopi would put it, "the Doo-Doo is rising fast", and it is disgusting to see some of our elected officials still sitting on their thumbs screaming "what about me??"

Whether we actually will need more money than they are fighting over now or not, they should pass the common items that everyone wants to see happen, and fight over the rest next month.
Or just pass the cumlulative of both bills, covering everyones bases.

But to drag their feet and continue bickering over whether we should continue the endowment for the Arts (who employ a helluva alot of people) or not is nothing short of typical bi-partisan bullshit.
