A balanced budget amendment sounds logical to me

Good morning to all! Thanks for stopping back by! Well, there isn’t much gardening going on at the moment, here at our place anyway. We’ll be planting peas and okra next month. Until then, I guess you guys get to listen to me rattle off some…

Where to start? How about let’s kick this off with Sen. John McCain’s description of Tea-Party backed politicians as “bizarre, foolish, and deceiving…” for wanting to pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. A balanced budget amendment sounds logical to me. What about you guys…are you in? McCain claims, and is probably right in the fact that this may not happen with 67 votes needed in the Senate to pass this, with the Senate being Democrat controlled…BUT, the point he seems to be missing entirely is that “we the people” want a balanced budget, versus more uncontrolled spending, and the further tearing down of our Country as we know it. So in reality, what Sen. McCain is saying is that all of us that backed a Tea Party candidate, are all, well…bizarre, foolish, and deceiving too, huh? He claims that some of these “Tea-Party backed” politicians have only been in office for six or seven months, and they don’t understand the mathematics involved in getting this amendment passed is improbable. “Others (the “old Washington” elected officials) know better,” McCain says. He also made issue of the same people who have voiced their opposition of House Speaker John Boehner’s debt limit plan…again, not without an amendment to balance the budget first. Sorry Senator, but this is exactly what we need to take place…a stand by our elected officials, newcomers or not! I believe this is the reasoning behind “the newcomers” being elected in the first place! More...

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!

Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end.  But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.

Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.

Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
