State of the Union

There's just so much about which to rant.  I guess I'll start where I am in the transcript.

Why are we discussing this payroll tax holiday??  When President Bush proposed letting people invest 2% of their payroll tax (right?) it was called irresponsible.  We don't have the money to fund Social Security past what... 2020?  And a payroll tax holiday is a good idea???  How so?

Next - fine, you want to stop subsidizing millionaires, great.  Stop subsidizing farmers too.  And how about people who get back not only what they paid in taxes during the year, but more over and above that amount?  Stop subsidizing ANYTHING.  School loans, crops, failing businesses....

I HATE the comment that "the country can't afford" a tax cut for the wealthy.  It was their money to begin with!!  The government TOOK IT!!!

I actually agree with the no insider trading by members of Congress.  That's a duh.

Banks making "huge bets with other people's money" - well, then you shouldn't have bailed them out!!!
