Why I Agree WIth POTUS on CROMnibus

Some folks on both sides of the aisle bitching about the CROMnibus bill (I say that because Conan the Barbarian---not the red haired talk show host referred to his God as CROM) bill passing with added shit in it neither side likes.

RepublikKKans don't like most of it because it 1. funds the "gummint, 2. sick people continue to get insurance, 3. it funds the war against both ISIS and Ebola, 4. Nana gets her social security check and doesn't have to eat her cat, 5. anything else that normal people would accept as logical. 

Democrats hate that Dodd-Frank is curtailed making the big banks able to once again gamble with taxpayer money as they did up to 2007, destroying our economy and that individual donations to either DNC or RNC candidates is now in the stratosfear (yes I spelled that wrong on purpose). What people who still having a fucking brain cell don't realize is that this is a compromise bill that funds the government so we have our services. 

What is the choice here....don't vote for the bill and everything goes south like it did in October of 2013 costing this country 24 billion? In years past, this wouldn't be an issue, but we now live in an OILigarchy where big money controls everything because we didn't....say it with me....FUCKING VOTE!!!!!!! We have idiots running our goddamn congress!!!! Why? Because you didn't VOTE!!!!!!!! 

So, if you're pissed that the government is funded for a year, TOUGH SHIT!!! Next time, VOTE!!!!!!!!

Feed the Rich, Starve the Poor

Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night, 11/18/14, humorously pointed out a sad fact. Since republiKKKans cut $800 Million from food stamps, the poor have resorted to going to a new wave of stores popping up:

Salvage Food Stores

These stores are selling food that has exceeded sell by dates or dented canned goods or bruised fruit at "crazy discounts."

As a person of low fixed income, I myself shop at a little store in my neighborhood which sells day old bread for 99 cents (about a 3rd regular price) as well as some often REALLY out of date and often failed overstock goods...like some strangely flavored cereal which never caught on so ends up being bought by the pallet and sold at "crazy discounts." 

I'm not going to name the place, but in addition to dollar stores, this is the new America...pay people less, give them low quality or expired (sometimes REALLY expired) food at a profit, gut their unions and labor rights, and raise their rents and utilities. The republican value system. No thanks. I may buy the old bread, but I ain't buyin' the BULLSHIT.

Fight back, America. If you still have brain cells firing.

Be cool, be nobody's fool; and don't dismiss the bliss.
