And for the first time if not ever in recent years we have an ex-President determined to continue to rule. I can honestly say, that while not yet "physically" in a Civil War", we are in a mental one with vast thoughts on how to have a Coup d'état to replace Mr. Trump.
One way Mr. Trump can try to clean up his mess a bit is too hire people on a temporary basis to run various parts of any department. That person would have to have broad powers to hire(and this may not fly if they are actually temporary) / and more importantly fire anyone caught sabotaging the Administration with the leaks and "anonymous" comments daily put out. But the important thing would be to get rid of them and utilize any serious Public Servants to manage the open positions on a temporary basis. This using semantics would be not hiring but utilizing available assets.
I have believe for at least the last seven years that it was the intent of Mr. Obama and his ilk to destroy the U.S. as we have known it for centuries. By that I mean first a Christian- Judeo Country based on the Christian Tenets we practiced for those many years. The Obamalites at whatever level have worked to make us more secular at every opportunity. It should be noted they have been very successful for far too long.
The efforts to drag us down to a third World Country have also been accomplished in many ways too. We are struggling under massive debt; tremendous taxation and of course the infamous and now dissolving Obamacare Health System.
The only good part in the past few months is that Mr. Trump was able to acquire a far higher share of Black/ Latino votes than Mr. Romney or Mr. McCain when all was said and done. Not enough by half, but at least some are actively saying "what did Mr. Obama do for us". And as they struggle to stay in their homes; keep or get a job and make do on expanded Medicaid under Obamacare as many have lost their prior Healthcare if they even had any. They fortunately woke up to Ms. Clintons tales on helping the poor and downtrodden as being more smoke and mirrors than fact and help for their votes up to 8 November 2016. Than the infamous "who are you" would return? The Obamalites be they at the City, County, State or Federal levels are poison to the very soul and heart of this Country.
And as so many have said already: "Mr. Trump, put down that damn cellphone; shut off your twitter; and allow your staff to stand up and step out". If your staff cannot stand up and step out than maybe they should be helped into their next careers?
Mr. Myer's recently noted the obstacles (Their Opinion) in reducing Medicaid Enrollment in those States especially facing increasingly higher costs to pay for their share. The cost he noted by 2020 if I read it right would be an additional $190 Million dollars paid by this State due to the reduction of Federal Dollars. This would be proportionately on top of the $500 Million in new Taxes that Mr. Justice now wants to balance the State Budget in 2017-2018. And that as we all know is hardly a sure thing as I post this. But no one on the third term Obamalite side want to change or even reduce anything and feel the answer is more taxes.
And almost a week, the Executive/ Legislative Branches have suspiciously circled each other trying to find a weak spot so as to get "their" plan approved. For Mr. Justice many new taxes, fees, surcharges and even some raises. The Legislature is also about a few new taxes, some sort of tax relief for Vets/ Social Security recipients and while not explaining to my satisfaction where all the new money comes from to offset the giveaways? It is fine to talk about taxing cell phones and other goodies, but without a clear saying of X%, it does not hit home with those people who go around all day with their cell phone in their faces. 7% like everything else will be (8% with Municipal Sales Tax?)? Some of those plans are a bit spendy even if mommy and daddy are the ones paying for them. Seven or eight bucks on the hundred no matter who pays is still seven or eight bucks more than yesterday. For us with a dirt cheap plan for my wife, it will still be a couple of bucks more each month. I should ask since we are at the bottom of our pockets for more and more taxes, if the State will accept pocket lint?
And we do have the Counties new $35./ $100,000., assessed value increase coming up in July. Forgot about that did you? Need to get on Mr. Nohe's mailing list for sure. It is called the County Property Tax Assessment for 2017-2018. The tax increase I noted months ago was going to happen once he became County Tax Assessor. And any denials that he had nothing to do with it will for sure fall on deaf ears around my home. He still is unable to find those 3 or 4 Ohio plated cars within spitting distance of my home? Maybe, he is too busy insuring the new assessments for his bubba's don't get out of hand? You know, the guy who puts in a small garden on his land and gets that spiffy Farmers reduction even if maybe only growing dandelions to make some wine?
Folks, is going to be a tough Summer/ Fall around here for Tax increases. Guess we could call them Fees/ Surcharges? 'nuff said'.
