OK, usually my blog entries are usually pieces of the fluffy mom type, but today, I am going to risk a political commentary.
I hesitate.
Here's the thing. The politicians have a different dictionary then us regular folk.
It's like, they become lawyers and learn how to earn a living with words
Then
They become politicians and they are handed a new dictionary.... same words, different meanings.
For example, Since the 30's the term or phrase "Bail out" literally meant abandoning ship, jumping out of a plane, to leave or abandon a harmful situation. Now it means: to rescue financially.
I'm pissed, because they use real words, words you and I know and love and turn them into grotesque characatures of their literary selves.... (ah ha.... two can play at that game.)
Did you know that Fiscal Conservatism, literally means keeping the status quouo with regards to public funds and taxes?
Did you know that "Private Sector" is actually redundant... as Private means a restricted group or class and Sector (as it relates to people and not a geometric figure or the military) also means a group of specific section of people.
What the heck is a targeted investment - Literally a targeted is... to make a target and investment is the outlay of money usually for profit or income. This is the most mystifying of all of the terms I have heard in reply to Veto'ing the stimulus package... because there weren't enough Targeted Investments... does that mean, that the package outlines how we can spend more money and not profit or recieve an income? OR..... Or....
is the term Profit..... relative?
SO I stumbled upon the following website that details the process of getting a bill passed... and well.... you take a look... Go Ahead... I'll wait. http://www.votesmart.org/resource_govt101_02.php
Do you get the same feeling ... Doesn't it kind of sound like High School?
Scary... that's all I can say.
OK, that's it. I gotta go make some dinner.
have a great night!
