Smoke and Mirrors

Oh the smoke and mirrors rhetoric of politicians everywhere. The Senator from Wyoming said to the presenters on the PBS News hour that if they gave a Blue Cross and Blue Shield Card to the all the people of Wyoming they'd cut cost blah, blah, blah--none of the commentators asked him how he proposed to do this. Come on!!

Then last Friday when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's stated on Friday morning that "he thinks the Fed can do more to bolster the economic recovery and help," the stock market shot up. I would guess that most of those that engaged in the market swing are conservatives and even if not, why do we all think that the fed can do anything and even if it can that it will be helpful over the long run? Lets face it, Republicans want the government to do something, but their to smug about who they want to do it for. (It's not the Middle class).

At least the Democrats have told you what they want to do whether you like it or not--oh, except for Jim Matheson, who does not support the health care reform but is mum on what he would replace it with or anything.
