February 24, 2019: The Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins reports on some of the negative effects on US taxpayers's refunds 'thanks' to the Trump-GOP Tax Cut for America's wealthy class of greedy piggies:
Remember the golden day of December 22, 2017 when Trump signed the GOP Tax Cut Bill (heist!) then rushed off to the luxury of Mar-a-Lago? And of course the non-empathetic GOP plan includes putting America's social safety net programs on their chopping block in spite of the nationwide suffering, even death, it would cause. Create the problem then pretend you have the only solution--it's so Hegelian!
America's Kitten-in-String Finances and What to Do About Them
If you've ever read this blog before then you know I'm all about embedding this video from Public Policy Professor Robert Reich concerning his new e-book Beyond Outrage with its practical ideas for what to do about our nation's income inequality and its dire effects upon American lives and the future of our country:
And here's a political hoot: Mitt Romney is reported to be filing for an extension on his 2011 tax return. Perhaps one of his accountants misplaced a few statements from his offshore accounts.

While I'm at it, here's another video you might profit from presented by Robert Reich and which features Mitt's Millions:
Born in 1946 with Sun in Cancer, here are previous posts concerning the two possible combinations of Sun-Moonblends of Robert Reich.

Sometimes living in the real world where bridges weaken over time, highways, airports, and airplanes require regular maintenance, and police officers need paychecks can be quite difficult to manage from that elusive ivory tower of aristocratic wealth, privilege, and luxury promised to those at the world's pinnacle.
Can we blame filthy rich plutocrats and their broods if their collective yet selective Bubble so seldom lands amongst the rabble?

Space Weather News for April 15, 2011
SPINNING ASTEROID FLYBY: A 50-meter asteroid is flying past the Earth-Moon system on April 15th. There's no danger of a collision, but the 50-meter space rock is remarkable. It is elongated and spinning, which causes the asteroid to flash like a strobe light in amateur telescopes.
Video and observing tips are highlighted on today's edition of SpaceWeatther News.
GET YOUR OWN SPACE ROCK: Would you like to own your own piece of an asteroid? Authentic fragments of space rocks are available from the SpaceWeather Store.
