The battle for next year’s budget has begun. The House of Representatives passed a Republican budget plan for 2012 aimed at privatizing Medicare and dramatically scaling back the size of the federal government. Should be fun.
It is looking like Gov. Nathan Deal (R-Georgia) will indeed sign into law what may be one of the nation's toughest anti-illegal immigration measures. The bill passed the Georgia State House last night, with a similar bill having already been approved by the State Senate. Arizona all over again. Nice going on the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. Nothing like reminiscences of slavery and Jim Crow.
And now that Arizona's birther bill has cleared the state legislature, will Republican Gov. Jan Brewer sign it? Inquiring minds want to know. In case you missed the details of this winner-of-a-piece of legislation, it requires presidential candidates to provide proof they were born in the U.S. The Arizona secretary of state would then determine if the submitted documents proved a candidate's citizenship. If unsatisfied with the documentation provided, the secretary of state could keep a candidate's name off the state ballot. But not to worry. If President Obama does not make it on the ballot in 2012, he can always go to court.
More next week, I am sure.
