Some quick thoughts

So, the EPA wants to roll back some protections for waterways, including some that lead to sources for drinking water. The Republicans are working hard to remove Medicaid recipients over the next ten years. Is there a connection? Hmmm…. Poison people slowly then let them suffer with no way to seek health care. Yep that is one way to lower the need for government handouts.  Maybe not, that is pretty deplorable.

And quite frankly, I am not sure the Republicans can think that creatively.

Oh boy the Koch brothers do not want to give their money away if they cannot get their tax breaks from the health care reform.

And in the mode of being fair and unbiased, there was an article or an op-ed piece that says Nancy Pelosi was helping the Republicans to win. In a pretty straight forward way, I agree. The Democrats are clueless. They keep thinking they are going to win the mid-terms in 2018. I am wondering how.  One way might be to start campaigning on the notion to elect us and we will make Obamacare better instead of what the Republicans are doing.   And there are many other platforms they could jump on to attack what is going on in D. C.  oh,,,maybe they aren’t that creative either.

So, are the Rockets better with Chris Paul?   Personally, I think this is a weird pairing. And just exactly how did everyone know CP3 wanted to go to Houston so much so that the Clippers could get him to opt into his contract to make the trade. Hmmmmm…. Overall, I am curious as to what happens in Houston with this trade so I hope it goes through. And no, I am not a Rockets fan.

And is there really a Paul George trade in the next few days? Does he join a superteam? Does he create one by getting teams to work out deals? Cavaliers? Celtics? Lakers now? Exactly who is running the NBA? And maybe it is the players. Which is very good for some and not so good for many. Will we see true competitive basketball across the league in the next few years? Or just four teams that have the best talent for a few years and then when the luxury tax hits the team, players reform onto another team. Can young players develop in this environment? Either the NBA figures this out and the talent level spreads more equally or it could get ugly for too long.  And on a secondary note, if you want Carmelo Anthony to join your superteam, maybe he should take the pay cut now. Otherwise he will never get his ring.
