I’m Just Sayin’…

It’s ironic to me that a young woman looked up at Bill Clinton and said, “My nightmare is over.” 

Hillary Clinton and Al Gore once again are relegated to the back seat while Bill basks in the glory.  Don’t get me wrong, I think of all the big shots in the Democratic Party, the retired Bill Clinton is still the closest to being a statesman, and that includes President Obama.  He can communicate for hours off the cuff more effectively than Obama can with a teleprompter.  I’m just sayin…

Clinton also understands economics.  He knew when to back off.  The number one reason the economy did great when he was president was THE STRONG DOLLAR.  The strong dollar is a thing of the past.  As we print more money to spend our way out of debt, the dollar weakens.  I’m just sayin’…

Of all the money spent on stimulus, the one that has worked the best is Cash for Clunkers.  When the money was used up in four days, why did it take Congress a week to fund 2 more billion dollars?  In my opinion, they were surprised that they came up with a program that actually helped American citizens, and corporations, too.  I’m sure they’ll find a way to screw it up.  I’m just sayin’.

Now let’s get to the state level.  The Texas legislature is a study in schizophrenic behavior.  They, along with Governor Perry and his appointees to the Texas Education Agency, complete the “triumvirate of ineptitude.”  Try to stay with me here.

1.     There has, as you know, been a lot of concern raised about obesity in society.

a.     Our legislature has ruled that we shall now only have I year of PE in high school instead of one and a half.  I’m just sayin’…

2.     The legislature has said that the schools have to address teenage drinking, drugs, and pregnancy in class.

a.     The legislature then passes a bill to end the requirement for health class to graduate from high school.

3.     Our society is in the age of technology. 

a.     The Texas legislature has now ended the requirement for BCIS to graduate from high school.

The commissioner of the TEA, Robert Scott, has deemed these changes so noteworthy that he has ruled that they go into effect immediately.  Three blind mice, three blind mice. I’m just sayin'….
