Unemployment...Time for a line Item Veto.....

Our Government is totally broken without a chance of fixing it short of an all out revolt.Â Right now a bill that would extend the unemployment benefits of millions of hard working Americans is stalled because hundreds of "pork" items attached to the bill have to be "discussed".

Â

We freely give billions to wall street without "pork" but stall the REAL needs of American familys to fight over giving more to wall street type people more handouts.Â

Â

IS IT TIME FOR A LINE ITEM VETO?

"You have something special and important here. Somehow you manage to teach and suggest and introduce the reader to concepts in a way that feels inclusive. Like, we're thinking about it together. Partly it might be because the subject, bottom-up, is innately understood by all of us and so it feels like you're stirring up stuff we already know. But also I think it's because you truly are practiced at connection consciousness and so it's natural for you (I'm guessing) to write about it with a desire to include us. As a reader I was learning more because it feels like you're inviting me to think with you."
