State of the Dis-Union: Nothing New from SOTU

State of the Union  was described to me by a very liberal friend  as an awful speech. I have nothing new to add to that comment except wrong on substance, wrong on tone and wrong on direction. 

Looks like the campaign continues. Leadership, pragmatism, reality unseen. 

The message as it always has been is more of the same only much more. More spending, more regulation, more government, more blame game. 

Sequester looming, no budget submitted, no plan other than that which I have mentioned before-guns, climate and illegal immigrants. 

 How are you feeling this morning America's former great middle class? I suspect that if this continues the country will just tune the President out.

  • National Debt: Does not matter anymore
    The federal debt continues to grow with increases of billions each day. This does not seem to concern either political party, particularly in this time of pandemic mania. Perhaps, it is ll necessary but at some point there will be consequences that deserve some thought.

  • Political Report Card
    Now that Mr. Trump and has been in office almost three years , here are the latest grades for our government,

    Administration: The multiple missteps, the erratic behavior of Mr. Trump plus the self-inflected political blunders continue. He has likely doomed his re-election. Mr Trump needs to stop being so sensitive and feeling slighted at every move and get off the stupid twitter. Grade: D plus.

    Senate: Republicans are in the drivers seat have failed to move the needle on almost everything except judicial nominations. Venom and obstruction from the liberals is not productive for the country Grade: Grade D

    House: The House is a partisan and nasty pit Grade : Grade F
