President Obama and Health Care Bill; Nothing is on the table. No Amendments of any sort were permitted.

Spending cannot be curtailed – taxes will be found since everything is on the table to raise new money. If not – what the heck, it’s only a balanced budget at risk.

Advice to the government – In 2020, assuming the planet is still here, why not remind your citizens to put the census form where you will not lose it. That would be better advice then telling us to guess at the future.

Then – on April 1, 2020 – send everyone, through iPhones, Blackberrys, Computers, iPads, TVs  and whatever other Internet connecting machines then exists a polite reminder to send in the friggin’ form. Can’t be done? – sure it can – twice a year, through some means I don’t understand all computers adjust for Daylight Savings Time – coming and going. So why can’t “it” send everyone a non-blockable pop-up on April 1, every hour on the hour, to send in the Census form. I know it would be annoying, but it is a small price to pay for having an accurate census. Which, in the grand scheme of things is the most important,  not annoying all of America’s citizens or having a complete census.

For all I know, such a plan could be in the Health Care Bill, everything else seems to be.

I think there is already a provision in the law that provides that every person who doesn’t send in the Census Form will be fined – big time – it’s a felony. The IRS is mandated to enforce the return of the census  forms, and, if you don’t send them in, your income tax return will be audited. The Law contains about 2050+/- pages, so I haven’t been able to find that provision – yet – but trust me, it’s there. Would I lie to you?

I think the full story will be on 60 minutes in a few weeks. It would be on next week, but no one, escept for one junior mail clerk, has mailed in his census form. I think they all forgot where they put them.

Washington – are you listening?

I hate to include this in Pithy Comments, but it is so ludicrous as to be funny: Janet Napolitano, Director of US Homeland Security on TV this Sunday stated the airline security “system worked” because her department responded properly  after the attack.  That the attack was “foiled” by a bad detonator and some civilian passengers is proof, she claims, that her agency is doing everything right.

eGrumps comment: “How stupid does she think people are. “

but not in those words.

Dearie, if sex were fast food
there’d be an arch over your bed!
