Political mumbo jumbo

And you shouldn't be, it's only reporting the gubner signing the neutered medicaid bill. 

See if this works, it's a summary of similar in several states.

Thanks.

At the end of the article, the paragraph about minimum wages. That upcoming Washington DC minimum wage? It was the kind of minimum wage in my sector years ago.

I woulda voted twice to block Ross Perot if I could, but I've missed the screaming dwarf every presidential cycle since.  Now it's permanent.  Discuss.

I was old enough to see his campaign happening, but young enough to not fully understand or pay attention to the details.  Couldn't vote and politics is forbidden in the parents house, but I always felt a 3rd party was a good idea in general.

There are days when I wish I could change the past, and he'd have won, and his agenda implemented.
1)Balanced Budget.
2)End the Revolving Door by prohibiting ex-Federal employees from working as lobbyists or for firms that lobby the federal government for a period of 5 years in the case of domestic corporations and 10 years in the case of foreign governments and corporations.
3)Health Care Reform by pilot project. Don't impose a program nationwide without first testing 5 approaches in 5 different states. De-bug them. When they work, expand them to another state or two for more testing. We need to find something that works for both large states and small, urban and rural, rich and poor before you roll it out nationwide. The best approach probably won't be any of the original 5.

Well 1 wouldn't have happened in the Clinton administration if Ross hadn't bought the tv time at his own expense to make the case.

2 would have been the best step towards "draining the swamp", would have cramped [Sleezebag]'s style. Well, until [Sleezebag] decided he could ignore the Constitution, rule of law, etc.

3 would have cramped Hillary and Obama's style.

Yeah, I can't think about these issues without thinking that Ross was right. I can't see an interview between a network and a presidential candidate without thinking about the time CNN tried to derail him with a blind-side gun control question. Ross paused and said "Crazy people shouldn't have guns, and people that use guns to threaten others shouldn't be allowed to keep them." I wrote this to Wayne Lapierre a couple of times for his reaction, but never got an answer.  He had a few other observations I wish I'd hear from an actual president, such as "War is watching people you love get killed," and he once said that being president is like getting up in the morning, eager to move ahead with your plans for the economy, only to discover that Jesus is in Waco.



Yeah, Ross was vain and paranoid, but he knew how to identify a problem and approach it. While I wish he'd gotten the chance to solve some of our national problems, I'm just glad that he spoke up. I'm not sad that he's gone, I'm glad he touched my life.

I think he can totally claim point 1) - and boy that's not nothing; only, I believe, the only balanced budget submitted by a president in my entire life.  The Nazis Republicans Nazis should put THAT in their pipe and smoke it.  -Ooh the high of burning Reaganite lies.-  They've had their chances since.

[Rusty Edge]

There was the fiscal year when LBJ's budget administered by Nixon, had a surplus, IIRC. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay, still - that's your tax-and-spend Democrats for you.

Boooooooooo!!!

[Buster's Uncle]

Of course you boo the twisted reality, not the joke.

[Geo]

No, they're booing the poor person asking for healing at the end of the clip.

[Buster's Uncle]

So they are.

Church people in this country are a bunch of suckers.

[Geo]

And some states have ALOT of churches…
