GOP - Does the G stand for Greed?
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke took members of both parties by surprise this week when he reported to a House panel that he believed transparency alone would not work and that some financial products should be totally banned. Rep. Tom Price, appeared alarmed by the Fed chairman's reversal in philosophy and asked for an example of a product that should be banned. Bernanke didn't miss a beat. "No-doc loans," he said, referring to loans sold to borrowers with no documentation of their income or ability to repay. The GOP is complaining to Bernanke that a proposed consumer financial product agency would encourage banks to offer "plain vanilla" financial products -- like easily-understood, fixed-rate, 30-year mortgages. Committee Republicans are saying this is no role for the government. Once again the Republicans are on the side of banks - Does the G in the GOP stands for greed?
The now-infamous Rep. Alan Grayson has another verbal tirade against Republicans. Yesterday he said, "America is sick of you, Republican Party; you're a lie factory, that's all you do," he added. "Why don't you work together with the Democrats to solve America's problems instead of making stuff up?" Bless you - Alan Grayson for being an optimist. The republicans have been lying to protect business interests since the Gilded Age of the late 1800s.

Yuba Sutter Democratic Club Meeting
This month's Democratic Club Meeting is at the Yuba County Library at 7PM. We'll be discussing the up-coming Peach Festival, and the problems associated with the re-districting of the Yuba Co. Supervisor's districts and the state wide re-districting which may well move all of us to a different congressional district.

Cantor Unable To Name Any ‘Compromises’ Republicans Are Willing To Make On Health Care Reform
Last night in his joint address to Congress, President Obama criticized — and praised — the actions of both Republicans and Democrats in the health care debate. While he said that he still supports a public option, he also said that he was open to “reforming our medical malpractice laws” to “help bring down the cost of health care.”Cantor also lamented that he hadn’t “heard some more on medical liability reform.” When host Robin Roberts pointed out that Obama did offer compromises on that issue and wondered what Republicans are willing to give, Cantor avoided the question and continued to attack Obama for not giving the GOP everything it desires:
ROBERTS: But the president did show some support for what you just talked about, John McCain — Senator John McCain. He did show support for that plan. And he did make some concessions. You talk about the guarantees. But are you willing to — some compromises of your own now, to go back to the table?
CANTOR: You know, Robin, I think it’s very important that we dismiss this notion of a government option. I think if we listen to the American people right now — the fear surrounds this notion that somehow the government will replace the health care system that we know in this country.
Webmaster note: What about the overwhelming majority of the American People want a government protected universal health care choice?
