May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

"Debbie Downer" Wasserman Shultz, DNC Chair Again Babbling Stupidly

In yet another amazing interview with the Chair of the DNC, Debbie Downer doesn’t get it when she decries corporations imposing their values on employees, but is perfectly happy and endorses the government imposing it’s values on citizens. One can leave a company or find alternatives, in this case, to health care provisions. When dealing with the government, obey or get fined\imprisoned.

At one time insurance meant we combined our money to cover things that are catastrophic such as fire, flood, car accidents, debilitating diseases or being disabled. Now it includes, because the government says so, products designed to keep one from getting knocked up? I’m supposed to provide rubbers and pills to people that are poking? Give me a break.

Democrats at Convention Claim

The speakers at the DNC and the Main Stream Press continually state that the economy is in horrible shape, that we are on the verge of a full blown depression. I looked up the numbers, and right now reject any statement the stats can prove anything. These are hard cold numbers, like two plus two equals four.
The economy grew at 3.3% last quarter. Bill Clinton handed off a growth rate of negative 0.49% to George W. Bush in 2001 -- and then came 9/11. That was followed by 54 months of steady economic growth. The Commerce Department reported Thursday that gross domestic product, or GDP, increased at a 3.3 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. The revised reading was much better than the government's initial estimate of a 1.9 percent pace and exceeded economists' expectations for a 2.7 percent growth rate. According to the US Census Bureau the poverty rate today continues to remain below those Clinton years: The average poverty rate for all Americans for the first seven years of the Reagan terms was 14.2%. For the first seven years of Bill Clinton's terms, it was 13.6%. Under George Bush, the average poverty rate for 2001-2007 is 12.4%.
