Big news from the Senate today. Robert Byrd, 91, senior senator from West Virginia (Thomas Jefferson ordered him to map out the region that would become the state during his presidency) has decided to step down from his position as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee when the new Congress convenes. He has decided it is time to pass the torch to the younger generation.
Daniel Inouye, 84, senior senator from Hawaii, will accept the torch and lead the fight to get the money the government needs. I feel better knowing a young man will be leading such an important committee.
Other big news today is that the Obama's will not be able to adopt a shelter dog because one of the girls is allergic. I expect that breeders of hyper allergenic dogs will be lining up at the Obama house in Chicago with all kinds of beautiful puppies.
Obama is getting his economic team, as well as the rest of his team, together to be ready to move forward quickly in later January. However, he will remain in the background until then because you can only have one president at a time. (The Catholics had three popes ruling at the same, and that split rule was a disaster.)
We will watch as Congress begins making plans for the new term.
We will pray that they won't spend a lot of our money. If they go on a spending spree taxes can only go in one direction, regardless of what they say.
Read the details of any stimulus package very carefully, unless they are willing to pay off my mortgage, I don't need the government going into anymore debt on my account.
Let's all be fiscally responsible.
It's common sense.
