I almost became a Democrat when.....

Ughhhh.

Distracted by Championship Weekend and a murder spree the US GOV got away with a little mayhem of its own.

Last week two important bills came before the Senate, both with the potential to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. Our leaders made sure just that happened.

First, the minimum wage bill did not pass. I have a solution for this too. Make a minimum wage for juviniles and a minimum wage for adults, and raise the adult minimum wage. Let the teenagers work at the local store for a little less if the businesses can get away with it, but please lets not really expect people to live on 5.50 an hour.

Also, the bankrupcy reform bill. Do the hospitals (most for profit) and the credit card companies really need financial protection. The health care industry? Please....

It is about enough to morph an elephant to an ass.
