The Dems are getting desperate to get the Deathcare reform passed. They are so desperate that they are now threatening one of their own:
(Nebraska Senator Ben) Nelson’s demand that taxpayer money not be used to fund abortion has still not been met. According to a Senate aide, the White House is now
threatening to put Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn’t fall into line.
Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska. As our source put it, this is a “naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson’s vote.” They are “threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?” asked the Senate staffer.
Offutt’s closure would be a huge problem for the state of Nebraska’s economy along with the fact that it is in the middle of nowhere for a good reason – STRATCOM is there.
So, I guess the deal is if you disagree with the Democrats your states economy will be affected. Nice, huh?
Change of subject, as I was just thinking about the Dems in congress, I began to think about one of the most liberal cities in our country. How is San Francisco doing now a days?
Despite its good intentions, San Francisco is not leading the country in gay marriage. Despite its good intentions, it is not stopping wars. Despite its spending
more money per capita on homelessness than any comparable city, its homeless problem is worse than any comparable city’s. Despite its spending more money per capita, period, than almost any city in the nation, San Francisco has poorly managed, budget-busting capital projects, overlapping social programs no one is certain are working, and a transportation system where the only thing running ahead of schedule is the size of its deficit.
It’s time to face facts: San Francisco is spectacularly mismanaged and arguably the worst-run big city in America. This year’s city budget is an astonishing $6.6 billion — more than twice the budget for the entire state of Idaho — for roughly 800,000 residents. Yet despite that stratospheric amount, San Francisco can’t point to progress on many of the social issues it spends liberally to tackle — and no one is made to answer when the city comes up short.
Good thing we have one of San Francisco’s politicians as House Speaker, huh? As of last count there were only 9.4% registered Republicans. For the past 40 years Democrats have had a strong hold on the city/county and is well know for being a hypocenter of liberal activism with Democrats, greens and “progressives” ruling over the city. I wonder if all that has anything to do with the state of the city right now?
