Hollow Victory for John Boehner and Republicans
They promised $100 Billion cuts, then $61 Billion in cuts, and the American people ended up with $38 Billion when Speaker of the House was done. Stop patting yourselves on the back, the taxpayer’s are not happy with only $38 Billion in cuts. Can you hear us now, we want hundreds of billions in cuts if not trillions. Mr. Boehner, you are the House Majority leader, try acting like it.
Problems In Egpyt
I think all eyes should be on Egypt and what plays out. It is a very volatile situation and could definitely affect the United States. I think there are a couple of things to understand about what happened. Yes there is a dictatorship there, but according to past history this was supposed to be the best for the United States. Please realize what really brought on this uprising. Wages are extremely low in Egypt and with high unemployment food cost out of control that is causing the unrest. It is also important to understand that a radical Muslim type government could bring another Iran situation. Their Internet and communication ability was taken away by the government. We need to monitor the Egypt situation closely. There are many similarities that are happening right here in the United States. Wait to the dollar devalues even more, gas goes to $4 to $5 dollars a gallon, and food prices start to skyrocket? Don’t forget with the net neutrality law, government now can regulate our internet system.
Tucson Arizona Shooting
My prayers are out for the seventeen individual and Rep. Giffords that were shoot this past Saturday. We can’t live in a bubble when there are unstable individuals like this young 22 year old shooter with a very problem past. He is in custody now and I hope justice is served and he pays the highest penalty for what he has done, to change the lives of those victims and their families. The most important thing I am worried about is the individuals and groups that will try to turn this tragedy into a political mission to attack our second amendment right. I send out my regrets to the families that are affected by this shooting.
THE DREAM ACT (Fails in Senate) 55-41
I am glad that the DREAM ACT failed in the Senate. We should not be rewarding or giving special treated to illegal aliens. Our own tax paying citizens don’t get the same brakes for some of the things Congress wants to give law breaking illegal aliens.

Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (Passes Senate)
