Hey guys! It is a sunny, warm day outside; far too pleasant to be thinking about US Government huh? WRONG! Lol I just finished reading this commentary written by a man named John Kelso. Boy was it ever fun. This guy is a genius ladies and gentlemen. He writes for the Austin American Statesman in the humor colum. http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/02/19//0219kelso.html
He is very humorous and intellegent. Although he has not always lived in Austin, he has been a resident for about thirty years and is very passionate about Texan culture and politics.
Now, he has come up with the best plan I have ever heard of to solve this nation’s horrible, dreadful, and downright nasty border problem. We all know how we can't stand those darned illegals comming back and forth across our border as they please. It is an outrage for our nation and government. It is a serious, serious issue. Is there nothing we can do? I guess we could build a something like...a wall? Yeah, that's right a wall will keep them in their own poverty right?
Wrong! Kelso has a better solution. Can anyone say CONDOS??? Brilliant!!!! *sings* Yes, I did say condos. He suggests building a wall of pretty condominiums along the Mexican-American border, as opposed to one of less taste and quality… a mere granite wall. Why has no one else suggested this before? I mean come on. What would happen if our government spent millions of taxpayer’s money on a blank roadblock? It would stick out like a sore thumb and whose to say that the illegal aliens wouldn’t simply walk around it? At least with condos they would have to get through rich security and personal AND they would look nice along the countryside. Kelso also explains how it would help both sides. The Mexicans would be able to find work on the condos, and the Americans would receive all the help they wanted for a reasonable price. We all win! Plus, (and Kelso didn’t mention this) building condos would in the long run provide revenue and help stimulate the economy. ^_^
Obviously, this commentary is written sarcastically but only in order to prove a point. Kelso believes that the whole wall thing could never help control our border issues. It would in fact probably worsen our country by having an eye-sore of a wall that costs millions and does nothing. I agree, it is a stupid idea, more so than building condominiums along the border.

SCREW THE POOR AND THE OLD!!!
So has anybody heard of the newest proposal by President Bush? Of course not, everybody is still too hyped up about the Super Bowl ( b/w I LOVE TOM PETTY!!!). Anyways, well I guess it is my duty to edumacate you all (yes I do mean edumacate). Alrightey then, well the proposal is supposed to help steady the budget by 2012 AND provide more funds for national security (we all gotta have more of that right?) The catch is that we would be cutting A LOT from domestic programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Need I point out my first outburst in the title? Luckily, Democrats in Congress won’t let the whole proposal pass or else I think I would die! If you wanna read more about it, and I suggest you do because I can't cover it all (well I could but it would take up the whole page!), go here:
As said by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), "President Bush's fiscal policies are the worst in our nation's history -- he has turned record surpluses into record deficits -- and this budget is more of the same." ---Amen
