The debate over healthcare is still raging. Obama made an address to congress on the issue, but 23 Democrats have already said they plan to vote no. I keep hearing people complain that the Republicans are the Party of No again — but they’ve proposed over 30 bills on the subject this year alone.

It’s been a mixed week as far as the economy goes. The White House released a report saying that the stimulus saved one million jobs, but a panel overseeing the stimulus fund says the auto bail out money has been almost entirely squandered with almost no hope of recovery. Meanwhile, on news that the US unemployment rate has jumped to a 26-year high of 9.7%, good ole Nancy Pelosi would like to extend unemployment benefits. All of this as we receive word that Social Security has reported a loss of almost $6 billion in August alone, marking the 7th time in the last year it’s reported a deficit. I wouldn’t trust the government to run a lemonade stand.

The usual suspects are in trouble again: Obama’s Green Jobs Adviser Van Jones resigned and 11 ACORN employees have been charged with faking voter registration cards.

That’s this week’s round up. On a completely different note, today is September 11th. It’s a day I simply can’t bring myself to honor. I still cry my eyes out when I catch bits of documentaries or randomly flip onto a channel that happens to be showing the towers fall. To this day, it remains an open wound upon my soul. I remember. I will never be able to forget.
