Born a 10th generation Oregonian, (5 generations on each side) I have an enthusiasm for learning and teaching new things. After a ten year mini career in the dental field I moved on to research and embraced the social web. Though the internet is far too large for any one person to claim to be an expert, I can hold my own with the latest trends.
I enjoy researching and writing blogs. As the "Internet Program Director" for myMotherLode.com since 2008, I update the website and have a wide variety of interests. There is always something entertaining, educational or inspirational to share.
The CBO, whom Joe Biden once called “the gold standard,” recently scored the cost of “Build Back Better,” as written, at $365 billion added to the deficit over ten years, not the zero cost Biden and the democrats claim. And, more importantly, if you don’t apply the Administration’s accounting tricks of the new or expanded programs ending in a year or two, as they NEVER do, and run for the full ten years, the real cost is not $1.7 trillion but a whopping $4.6 trillion adding $3 trillion to the deficit over the next ten years. Moderate Democrat Joe Manchin was right to say “NO” and we hope he has the strength of his convictions.
Jen Psaki and certain politicians like AOC blame the recent crime wave on society and even COVID. Gerry Baker notes that this has happened before, blaming so-called “root causes” and that “Each time, we have to learn the hard way that denial of individual responsibility is the quickest route to social disorder.”
