Our rethink the week...when we share Skip Tenczar's limericks limerick 1 On the sixth I went to the US capitol with force, And enough bear spray to stop a running racehorse. Since I’m not much a charmer, I wore body armor And that’s how we do “political discourse.” limerick 2 They call it “legitimate political discourse,” Apparently they consider it justifiable force. Cops were knocked back, In this capital attack. This Republican party knows no remorse. Part 1: Many states are awash in cash, due to the money that the Federal government has distributed with the American Rescue Plan. Biden should take credit, and point out the GOOD that the federal government is doing. In 2021, we have had the lowest poverty rate ever. Those governors that have misspent money should be exposed and held accountable. Part 2: We talk about work/life balance, and the need for universal health care. Big Pharma is doing very well, and have had record profits. We discuss the Canadian trucker theater, and its effect in the US. We also discuss the problem of stock trades by members of Congress, and what can/should be the actions taken by Congress.
