The 1st Hundred Hours

Didn’t take long, did it? Only the 1st week and the Democrats, led by Nancy Pelosi, are up to their old tricks. Moaning and Groaning about everyone paying their fair share of taxes, and then exempting the biggest earners, and driving up our costs. Soon we’ll hear about the S.S. Trust fund being broke and now we know 1 reason why. At $3.26 per hour, you don’t pay much into the system, but you still collect a great deal.
Then we started in with the excuses from every dem in the country. How come they didn’t mistakenly forget Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin isles, or even Illinois. We have lots of Illegal Aliens here because of all the incentives offered to them. From the democratic mayor in Chicago, (Daley) to the democratic county, (Cook under Stroger), to the democratic governor, (Blagojavich). Our employers probably need some help lowering wages too, because the Illegals aren’t getting the job done fast enough. But, we don’t have any tuna here. Carp.
I’m sure that the real story though, is she was responding to the needs of a constituent. Being a multi-millionaire herself, and owning a huge winery business, she understands the need to control costs. What’s the big deal? I don’t think she could just be testing the waters to see if maybe in the next year or so, maybe there could be a way to give Carte Blanche to the wineries to screw their poor, down-trodden workers, just the ones she represents (for now) of course.
$3.26 an hour on an island that has to import everything that it needs and/or wants, except maybe fish. I doubt they have enough room to grow any crops at all on those tiny islands. They say gas is over $3.50 a gallon in Hawaii, so I can imagine what it is there. I guess it would be hard enough to buy a bicycle, much less a car or motorcycle on a salary of $3.26 an hour though, so I guess it really doesn’t matter much. Unbelievable.
Then, they showed the representative of the islands, and he was yelling and screaming about Nancy being right and the American People not knowing what’s going on. Basically to shut-up. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Personally, I think that guy should be investigated for bribery by the FBI. I find it hard to believe that someone didn’t pay him off. I mean, how do you do that to your own people?
Ofcourse, he does have a point though. He manages to scrape by on his own meager salary ($175,000+ per) and he doesn’t complain. I guess it’s like the man said, “We Don’t Live There”.
