Did you know?

Dear Folk,

Did you know?

1. That the so-called debt cliff --- that until last year was never questioned by the congress ---, has nothing to do with lifting our debt ceiling but simply to honor expenditures already voted on by congress?
2. Did you know that our Republican party is the only political entity in the world that does not believe that humankind has caused the present environmental crisis?
3. That Obama sacrificed billions of income in this same process, not just as taxes but also as missed opportunity to remove unnecessary deductions allowed the richest companies in our industrial history?
4. Did you know that since 2005 (under Bush) no gun manufacturing company can be sued?
5. Did you know that Harry Reid has not yet led a vote in the Senate to change the filibuster rules so that any such attempt can no longer be simply a "no" and in which the nay-sayer remains anonymous?  I am certain you know that the number of filibusters under Reid's tenure is up to 350. Under Lyndon Johnson --who had similar long tenure as Senate leader ---only l occurred.
