Hi Humans,

Don't be shy. If you want to comment on my blog entries, please do so. You don't have to be a dog to say what you think. or if you have a pet dog and want to have your dog speak for you, that's also OK. I would like to hear from you or your dog.

Political Foolery

Hi Humans,
Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." We can hope that the middle class and poor Republicans who were fooled by the Tea Party Rascals during the last Congressional election will realize that less spending and keeping taxes low means decreasing their own government services in order to give tax breaks to people other than themselves. Lowering the government's debt will mean pain for some people, but including a fair balance of both decreasing spending (services) and raising taxes (or just not keeping the Bush tax cuts) will spread the pain among everyone (rich and poor). So let us hope that the next election will be the time when some of the people are no longer fooled and will vote in a Congress that will help President Obama to continue fixing the financial disaster started by the Bush Republicans who borrowed so that they could lower taxes.
You can't fool us dogs all of the time. I hope we can say the same for you humans.
