I won't repost the dismal list (obviously not a Mariners scoreboard), but
it
strikes me (have to get baseball off my mind, I had forgotten that Seattle
even had a team up to a week ago) that many of the items being abolished
weren't even liberal, Democratic programs, but were more concensus issues
enacted and signed into law over 20 years ago by the Nixon administration.
The people that are behind these latest moves can not even be typified as
conservative. It's nothing more than a looting of our national treasures by
interest groups. Unfortunately we have a president whose ONLY interest is
four more years. That's the only non-negotiable item on his agenda. The
entire political process in America from the reactionary right to the
radical left has become corrupted by a lack of standards and values (and
they want to claim those too). And they wonder why no one votes?
