It takes a Village Idiot

To be sucked in by this woman, (Hmmm, maybe not the best phrase), but that doesn't stop Hillary Clinton from trying. Here's her latest political pandering from the New York Post...

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has signed on to a measure that could set Puerto Rico on the path to statehood. Clinton earlier had single-handedly pushed through a tax refund for the island's residents, who pay no federal income tax. And she's seeking to designate a swath of forest on the island as a national wilderness preserve....

Senator San Juan Hill-ary has no problem giving a tax refund to people who don't pay taxes, yet she rails against tax cuts for those who do. Last December she took to the Senate floor and argued against, "Irresponsible tax breaks". If San Juan Hill-ary had her way she would, "Delay further tax cuts on capital gains and dividends." Also she expressed unhappiness with, "the repeal of the phase-out of personal exemptions and limitations on deductions." In words that should come back to haunt her, she complained about businesses, "It is unpatriotic for these companies to pay not one penny in taxes to this government..."! San Juan Hill-ary wants Puerto Rico to be our 51st state. The same Puerto Rico that days ago had to partially shut down the government and schools because it was unable to reach agreement on a loan to keep it from running out of money for the next two months. The big budget problem with Puerto Rico is that 30% of its people work for the government and 80% of government spending goes to meet its payroll! Ironically, in her December floor speech, Hillary wanted restoration of the PAYGO rule, "a very simple rule which means you don't spend money you don't have."

Oh, one last bit on Hillary. Monday she told a symposium at Purchase College, "I wanted desperately to be an Olympic athlete...I couldn't jump, I couldn't run, I couldn't swim." After determining she'd never be an athlete, she set her sights on becoming an astronaut. "So I wrote to NASA...and they wrote back very politely and said, 'We don't take girls." Next went the dream of a career in medicine. "I volunteered at the hospital but kept getting lightheaded and woozy when I saw anyone in any kind of distress," she said. She also abandoned hopes of becoming a scientist or mathematician because she didn't have the best grades in those subjects.
"I thought well, I do like to study what goes on in the world around me, I adore government as a subject in school, I'm very interested in politics and history. So I went to law school." Despite all those apparent setbacks, Clinton urged students in the audience to pursue their dreams by believing in themselves and ignoring obstacles in their path. "My whole life has been a speed bump." Funny, that's what Bill said too...if you know what i mean!
