Waiting for a tax/spending plan from the president

Isn't it the legislature's job to come up with the detailed budget and spending plan? Why must they wait for an exact suggestion on how to do it? The president has signaled the overall approach he would be OK with, without all of the fine details sorted out. It's time to sort out the details if Congress wants much of a say in it.

If those in Congress would rather balk and let somebody else take the heat for decisions that they should be making if they were to actually do their jobs than they are a bunch of worthless blowhards.

Enjoyed a jab at the GOP this morning

Why is it so much fun to bash Republicans? I am practically one of them. I don't know. Is it because in the current form they are a bunch of con artists?

Take a look at David Brooks' blog: "The Mother of All No-Brainers" posted at the New York Times.

I enjoyed it.

Welcome to US Indy blog

This is the first week of this blog. It is a window into the thoughts of an independent: Somebody who understands Republicans and Democrats, even agrees with many of their views, but in the end can't stand their public posturing. I offer only my gut feeling reaction to the news of the day.

Thank you for stopping by!
