SC Lawmakers Offer Few Solutions to State's Economic Crisis
South Carolina’s jobless rate reached a new high of 12.3% in November, 2009. Another 5,896 people became jobless, bringing the total number of unemployed state residents to 266,330 last month. According to The Sun News, since January 2007, demand for food stamps in South Carolina has grown from around 550,000 people to about 730,000. South Carolina’s state budget is $98 million short, prompting another wave of budget cuts for schools, social services, health care and prisons. Clearly we are a state in crisis.
DeMint Attends "Prayercast" to Pray For Defeat of Health Care Reform
Yes, folks rather than try to reform health care in America, South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint is instead praying for it’s failure. I find this insulting on many levels. One that DeMint for pray for failure rather than participate in the debate and assist the people who elected him to the United States Senate. Secondly that he would be stupid enough to believe that our Lord and Savior would take notice and intervene in this petty drama.
Click on this link and enjoy Rachel Maddow’s take on the prayercast.
I think Senator DeMint should quit the senate and become a minister so he can spread his religious beliefs full time. Last time I checked we had a constitutional right to seperation of church and state. I personally don’t want the religous right deciding what kind of health care plan we should all have.
Do As We Say, Not As We Do
Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, has emerged as one of the harshest critics of what the right likes to call “Obamacare.” After spending the first half of the year working with Democrats to find a bipartisan compromise, Grassley has spent the second half trying to prevent one. He attacks the bill now being debated on the Senate floor as an indefensible new entitlement. He complains that it expands the deficit, threatens Medicare, and does too little to restrain health-care inflation. At a town-hall meeting in August, the 76-year-old Iowan warned, “There is some fear because in the House bill, there is counseling for end of life.”
