CNN reported today that Jan Schakowsky (D) Illinois will introduce a two-year emergency jobs plan that will create 2.2 million jobs.
Contrary to the Republicans “I WON’T RAISE TAXES” I believe this plan will NOT be at the cost of everyday Americans. Reference link posted below.
It is the “Emergency Jobs to Restore the American Dream”. The plan would develop: SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT CORPS to rehabilitate public schools.
NEIGHBORHOOD HERO CORPS to hire teachers, firemen and policemen
HEALTH CARE CORPS hiring health care providers including doctors, nurse practioners, physician assistants and nurses expanding health care to access to underserved rural and urban areas.
PARK IMPROVEMENT CORPS for youth between the ages of 16-25 to work on conservation projects on public lands restoring natural, cultural and historic sites, through new funding to the Department of the Interior and Forest Service.
STUDENT JOB CORPS: creating part-time work study jobs for eligible college students through new funding for the Federal Work Study Program.
CHILD CARE CORPS: creating jobs in early childhood care and education through additional funding for Early Head Start.
COMMUNITY CORPS’ to do needed work in communities, including housing rehab, weatherization, recycling, and rural conservation.
The plan would give priority to the longterm unemployed who have exhausted botheir state and federal unemployment benefits.
The cost of the Congress Womans plan would be implemented over a two-year period, financed by separate legislation that she will introduce.
That bill title is FAIRNESS IN TAXACTION ACT which would raise taxes for Americans who earn more than $1 million and $1 billion. It would also eliminate subsidies for big oil companies while closing loopholes for corporations that send American jobs overseas

Additionally a group of very wealthy persons have joined to advocate increasing taxes on the very wealthy. They call themselves “Millionaire Patriots”. Hoping to blog on that tomorrow.

MIDWEST BUS TOUR
President Obama kicked off his Midwest bus tour today. His first stop was in Cannon Falls a small community of 4000. It is about an hours drive Southwest of St. Paul, Minnesota.
The Washington Post reports that about 500 people attended this “town hall” meeting. The tour is defined, (according to the White House Spokesman) as a town hall meeting to talk about jobs and the economy; however I suggest that it is a campaign tour to shore up what may be left of his base.
CASE IN POINT THE FOLLOWING QUOTES LEAD ONE TO THINK CAMPAIGN:
“I know it’s not election season yet, but I just have to mention the debate”
“You’ve got to send a message to Washington that it’s time for the games to stop. It’s time to put country first,”
“Some folks in Congress ... would rather see their opponents lose than America win.
The President will travel in one of the two Secure Black Buses that will also be used by the next administration and is maintained and serviced by the Secret Service. The cost of these buses is reported to be 1.1 million dollars each.
So what is the difference, town hall or campaign?
Town Hall is paid for with tax dollars: campaigns are paid from donors campaign funds.
Obama is scheduled to go on a 10-day family vacation to Martha’s Vineyard on Thursday after completing the economic tour.

DON’T THROW THAT CHICKEN OUT
I love rotisserie chicken, but after I have dinner and a sandwich for lunch for two days, there is still a lot of chicken there. I can’t bare to throw it out anymore. So if you are tired of throwing out the rotisserie chicken….here’s a receipt that I just made. Looks good….but taste test pending:
Place the entire left over chicken in a pot large enough to hold water that will nearly cover the fowl. Boil uncovered until the meat falls off the bones. Cool in the fridge until you can handle without being burned.
Prepare minute rice as directed for 2 servings.
Place cooked rice in a 1-½ casserole dish and add the following:
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup sliced celery
½ cup broth from boiling the chicken
1 to ½ cups of chicken (make sure it is free of bones)
1 cup of pitted black olives
Mix all together
Spread ½ cup sharp cheddar over the top
Cover and bake @ 350 degrees until slightly bubbly – about 45 minutes
Remove cover for the last 5 minutes and let the cheese brown just a bit.
Now it’s time for lunch and taste testing the casserole:)

THUMBS UP - THUMBS DOWN
Hooray for the Mayor of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter who imposed a nighttime curfew in that city for children under the age of 13 and a later curfew for those between 13 and 18 following strangers having been attacked by violent mobs of young people in several instances
.”Michael Nutter unveiled the city's plan Monday, saying that children under 13 must be home by 10 p.m. and teens between 13 and 18 by midnight.”
“An even stricter curfew will go into effect on Fridays and Saturdays in several areas, such as Center City, CNN affiliate WPVI reported. Curfew there begins at 9 p.m. on those nights for youths under 18, Nutter said.”
Ref: http://articles.cnn.com/2011-08-09/justice/pennsylvania.curfew.archive_1_stricter-curfew-attacks-young-people?_s=PM:CRIME
It is difficult today to hear any news except for the tragedy at the Indiana State Fair that has now claimed 5 lives and seriously injured several more: And Obamas’ “economy themed” bus tour to Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. Dare I say,it is a 2012 campaign tour. In fact he won those states in the08 election,and they have a combined 36 electoral votes.
Athough Obamas’ homestate is Illinois and the unemployment rate there is 9.7, Minnesota and Iowa have unemployment rates less than 7%. According to the latest Gallup poll his approval ratings are above the national average in those states at 52, 49 and 54% respectively while the national average is
47%.
It is suggested that the trip is to “hold on” to those 36 electoral votes. My personal opinion is that is a true suggestion, but I also wonder if it is a trip to boost his personal confidence as well,considering the national average approval rate.
NOTE: Why do the Obama supporters continue to say that he “inherited this mess?” It may be what came with the package that he so skillfully asked for. Hmmm, President Bush Inherited the 9/11 attacks that pushed the country into “this mess”.

Peggys Activities and Observations: JUST MY OPINION
Peggys Activities and Observations: JUST MY OPINION: "WHO WILL YOU SEE ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET IN 2012
While the Iowa Republican debates were in full swing, Rick Perry was in South Carolina ..."

JUST MY OPINION
WHO WILL YOU SEE ON THE REPUBLICAN TICKET IN 2012
While the Iowa Republican debates were in full swing, Rick Perry was in South Carolina announcing his run for president at the Republican Convention.
I watched as he declared his candidacy and while I do not agree with some of the most important things he stands for, I do agree with many of his stated policies and accomplishments. His address was quite compelling.
He is currently serving as the Governor of Texas and is in his third term. It is reported that Texas has created 40% of all new jobs created within the entire United States under the Governors leadership and many other effective state laws and programs have been initiated and passed.
He comes from a poor family, describing his youth as working in the cotton and wheat fields with his father and wearing clothes hand made by his mother until he went to college.
And yet by the end of his address he sometimes appears to be delivering a sermon rather than a political speech.
(http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/08/its-official-tx-gov-perry-announces-presidential-bid.php?ref=fpa)
So why all the hoop-la about the Iowa Straw Poll? It is just that. As you all have more than likely seen the results, Bachmann received 4823 votes (28.5%), but less than 200 votes ahead of Ron Paul who received 4, 671 (27.65%). All others candidates received less than 3000 votes. This poll will have little to do with the actual candidate that the RNC will appoint.
I believe that Rick Perry is the RNCs’ choice of this moment and will be on the Republican ticket for President of the United States in 2012.

IOWA DEBATES AUGUST 12, 2011
It is my opinion the GOP Presidential candidates debate last nights’ has only one clear winner. That would be Barack Obama.
I do not agree with much of the way the Democrat National Convention handled their choice for their candidate in the ’08 election or the way that the Democrats passed Health Care Reform, or its’ contents, nor am I a proponent of Mr. Obama. But unless the GOP can offer up a real winner, Mr. Obama will be re-elected in ’12. With the split in the Democratic Party Mr. Obama may have an opponent within his own party.
Clearly six of the GOP candidates may have been able to justify their presence there on the basis of knowledge and experience: However those six chose to name “their intentions if they are elected” without any answers of how they could attain their aspirations and in addition used up precious time berating the President.
Again I have rated these candidates Using –5 to +5.
+5 Ron Paul: Presented facts and plans, he did not berate the current President. He has the best ideas of anyone on the list. But he is old, not a handsome man and is either ignored or considered a radical and mostly ignored by the panel and news media.
+4 Mitt Romney: Looks Presidential, Relies on his past accomplishments as the Governor in Massachusetts, offers some plans if elected. He is calm and as we see today the handling of a heckler in the crowd at the Iowa State Fair, he is firm not rattled by the attack and resolves it in a peaceful way. He had only one adverse comment about the President Obama. I suspect he has the best chance of winning the nomination.
+3 Herman Cain: Mr. Cain is a humorous black man who is a cancer survivor and has attained huge fiscal accomplishments during his lifetime but admits he is on a learning curve relating to our presence in Afghanistan. He did not berate President Obama. However, the major obstacle he would have in being elected is that he is a black man following the first black president who is not a popular president.
+1 Jon Huntsman: Looks presidential, probably well versed in US relations with China. Owns his own company and out sources a majority of his product. (Not sure what is companys’ product is). He disrespected President Obama and had nothing to offer regarding what he would do if elected.
0 Rick Santorum: Might as well not have been there. Offers nothing but adversely challenges opponents and the president.
0 Newt Gingrich: Offers nothing, questions the debate panel, offers nothing and relies on his past experience in politics.
-4 Tim Pawlenty: Heavy attacks on his main opponent and President Obama. Offers little.
-5 Michelle Bachman: Rants, Raves and spend much of her time berating President Obama. Has plans that would devastate the country. Is untrustworthy as she and her family take federal funding for the family farm and the “wacko” clinic her husband owns.
From MSN.COM HERE ARE THE RESULTS OF THEIR POLL OF 29518 VOTERS ON THE DEBATE WINNERS:
Ron Paul 36%
Herman Cain 4%
John Huntsman 4%
Rick Santorum 2%
Tim Pawley 3%
MichelleBachman 6%
Mit Romney 14%

LIFES LITTLE ANNOYANCES
I should have had a fair indication that the day would be less than smooth when exiting from my bed and the bedroom, the doorknob came off in my hand. So I laid the knob aside and used the knob holder to leave the room.
Waddling off to the living room I turn the television on and found that the PBS channel I had watched last night was showing a documentary on the life of Hitler and the news was talking to a guest who had written a book about D.B. Cooper. Local news is telling that the Gov has just signed in the new law approving the Dream Act.
OK, so I made my way to the kitchen where I successfully started the coffee. No problems there. Left the kitchen to boot up the computer and for the third time this week, couldn’t get on line. Having been through this twice already this week, picked up the telephone and sure enough, no dial tone, but the modem indicates I am on line?
What the Hell is going on with my computer. OK, so maybe I haven’t defragged in awhile….and started that procedure. Now I am able to get on line and the phone is working. All right, now I’m cooking. I’ve had notices that I need more CPUs’ and decided that was more than likely the problem. Searched for information on increasing CPUs’ and the first site was Microsoft.
Microsoft site says that CPU usage may reach 100% if the web is accessed multiple times from standby. Guess that means that I should shut it down more than once a day. I’ll give that a shot before getting into a more complicated (and expensive) action. I am using Microsoft XP; it may be time to think of a new computer. This one is five years old.
Well, I’m on my 3rd cup of Folgers, but I’m still having a bad hair day, wondering when we are going to be involved in the Syrian uprising, how low will the market drop on Monday (not that I have any stocks), need to do more weeding and watering, should do laundry, but think I’ll just stay on the computer and finish editing my episode of Gerdas’ Recovery and get it read to mail to a short story magazine on Monday.
I went to the PO yesterday to mail Gerda Goes to Broadway and Gerda and the Accountant….but after walking five or six blocks to get to it, the Post Office was closed due to the Decatur Celebration and most of the streets were roped off. Whaaattt? It’s a Federal Building. I’m surprised that the city can close it on a business day.
What are we celebrating? A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed yesterday during a robbery on the street. A woman and her daughter were killed on Gravel Pit Road, and a third woman was seriously injured in a domestic home invasion. The city budget is coming up short, the schools are all needing help, as well as the students who can’t afford the normal school supplies, and the unemployment rate is at 9.8.
I’m going to make some toast with blackberry jam and finish my editing. There only room for improvement on this day:)

BREAKING NEWS
WOW, I just see that the jobs reports says jobs increased by 117,000:) It lowers the unemployed rated down from 9.2 to 9.1.
One could not only smile, but totally laugh outloud since Senator Reed called congress back from vacation to fix the FFA job loss of 74000 employees.
An overnight sensation, unless the 117,000 jobs included the FFA employees that are going back to work because their jobs were funded by the government. You know the Union Employees.
I wonder if congress pushed it through so fast not only because the Stock Marked tanked losing over 500 points yesterday, or if it was politically motivated toward the 2012 elections or both.
On the other hand it is reported that there is a very large financial tax gain for the coffers. It is also reported that the rural airports will pay over $1000/ticket in taxes sold. It is calculated that the ticket sales revenue vastly outweigh the government funding.
It's a win-win situation in any event. Too bad the debt-ceiling issue could not have been handled as rapidly.
I don't watch the soap operas. Watching the governmental drama has many more twists, turns, surprises, devious plots, and self serving characters than any Hollywood cast.

THE DEBT CEILING BILL HAS PASSED THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE AND IS ON IT'S WAY TO THE PRESIDENTS' DESK
I suppose the bill is referred to as the Debt Ceiling Bill due to the urgency of increasing the limit to avoid governmental collapse. But I wouldn't hang any concrete hopes on what it really contains since again, it has been a "last minute" agreement and is only the frame work for the exact cuts, changes and expenditures it will contain as the House and Senate must still agree on the exact content. But I suppose it has kept the wolf from Grandmas door for the time being. So here is a little worksheet that may help you decide just which side you belong, if either.
