Short Stop

No, this isn't about baseball. That was two days ago. It is about little things and not many words. I heard a speaker one time say, "if you can't say it in ten minutes then don't say it at all"
Think about this and try to remember the ramifications as they apply to your family, job, friends, relatives, acquaintances, politics and politicians, vacations, etc. etc. etc.:
1) The more things change the more they stay the same and,
2) Follow the money.
I read a column from a young man, Matthew Continneti, who works at NPR. He said that 60% of the American people support Obama's plan for improving America's infrastructure. I believe that EXCEPT: the American people give the Democrat congress a 13% approval. When asked about their own congressman he/she gets a much higher rating. I just wonder, how many of those 60% who support the infrastructure proposals-highways, bridges- will feel the same when they're stranded in traffic for an hour while their DOT is doing their thing.
