As I write this the government is on the verge of shutting down. This fight has nothing to do with deficit. If congress was really concerned about our national debt they would be cutting defense, ending Ag subsidies and raising taxes on millionaires. This fight is all about the Tea Party and their insatiable thirst for Cancer.
See the tea infused GOFP want to zero fund Planned Parenthood and neuter EPA's ability to enforce environmental regulations. Since the Hyde amendment prevents federal funds from being used for abortions cuts to Planned Parenthood will mean less birth control (growing the pool for more abortions) and fewer screenings for lady cancers.
Orders for the EPA restrictions are coming directly from the desk of the Koch Brothers the billionaire bastards who view this country as their own personal septic tank. With environmental related cancers on the rise one would think that anyone who gave a rat's tail about the right to life issue would really think twice
This week marks the second anniversary of the Continental 3407 crash. In this era when everyone goes bat S crazy over the failure to torture any dark skinned male over the fear that his fourth cousin might try to take down a plane with exploding gonads I am amazed that folks are unwilling to stand up to corporate greed and insist on a few simple measures that would actually save lives in the skies; more air traffic controllers, increasing the amount of flight hours experience before one can fly a commercial aircraft, tighter enforcement of crew rest rules to name a few.
Right now the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has a list of 500 recommendations for improving airline safety. Some of the NTSB's recommendations are 20 years old. In a week where we have learned that safe reliable Toyotas might not be safe nor reliable and that corn based sugar infects nearly everything we eat, that America would wise up and take on the low hanging fruit that would help our people live longer and happier lives. Sadly we seem to be too drunk on tea to really notice or care.
