The cuts took effect last night with no compromised reached. What does the GOP really want? Simple answer cut Social Security and Medicare. How do the Democrats and Republicans differ? Think of retirement for most older Americans as crossing a desert. They can no longer get work or are unable to work. They are at least going to need a warm secure shelter, food and medical care. Back to the desert the left understands they will need at least an adequate amount of water along the way to survive. The right will claim they want to preserve the water for when the elderly really need it so they will take all the water to the other side of the desert. They know every one will be really thirsty when they get across. Now I am sure Speaker Boehner will have tears running down his cheeks because he has so much compassion for the elderly. At the same time he will be trying to hide a smirk because he is hoping two thirds of them will die before the make it to the water.
National park in northern Maine
Last night I lessoned to a commentary with Roxanne Quimby's son on a proposal for a national park in northern Maine. I have had the opportunity to visit a number of national parks across the country and found it enjoyable. I how ever can not say with any authority if it would be right for Maine. I would very much like to hear other peoples opinion on a national park in northern Maine. If you have a few minuets let me know what you think. Thank you.
