McCarthy’s already announced that he will not duplicate Pelosi’s post-speech stunt of tearing up his printed copy of the speech, so I’ve lost most of my anticipation. It might be fun to watch how fast Joe can spin, though…
White House blasts Manchin-GOP push for Social Security ‘death panel’
In a statement to Bloomberg Government, White House spokesperson Andrew Bates called the proposed commissions a “death panel for Medicare and Social Security,” repurposing a term that GOP lawmakers used frequently in their attacks on the Affordable Care Act.
Bates said the GOP’s renewed push for Social Security and Medicare commissions represents the “latest in a long line of ultimatums about how they’ll act to kill jobs, businesses, and retirement accounts if they can’t cut Medicare and Social Security benefits.”
The commissions in question are central to legislation known as the TRUST Act, which Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.), Manchin (D-W.Va.), and other lawmakers reintroduced in 2021 and have frequently touted as a potential path to a bipartisan compromise on Social Security and Medicare.
Republicans gave 8 trillion in tax cuts to the wealthy so there would be no money for social programs.
The following is from the Inaugural Address by President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., his words.
“To overcome these challenges – to restore the soul and to secure the future of America – requires more than words.
It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy:
Unity.
Unity.
In another January in Washington, on New Year’s Day 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
When he put pen to paper, the President said, “If my name ever goes down into history it will be for this act and my whole soul is in it.”
My whole soul is in it.
Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this:
Bringing America together.
Uniting our people.
And uniting our nation."
So Joe, when are you going to make this happen? Who do you blame this one on, again, as you always have to blame others and have no acceptance for yourself.

If the economy is “so bad,” why are airport parking lots so crowded? Appears that many Americans are flying [ flying is certainly not inexpensive ].
