Welcome to the arena

Here you will find my opinions about the application of political principles to the news of the day. My perspective is clearly from the conservative point of view. This is a place to express my concerns, passions, irritations, and commentary as they apply to the current political issues of the day. Political is defined loosely in this blog. There may be posts that are not strictly political, such as movie reviews, medical topics, religious commentary and thoughts on history. I hope interest will be generated by blending my thoughts with current events. I anticipate that there will be honest disagreement. I encourage feedback to my posts with the goal of achieving clarity of disagreement. I will strive to keep the conversation polite and respectful, while avoiding political correctness and maintaining tension to keep things exciting. Hopefully, friends and family will enjoy frequenting the arena for a little intellectual stimulation and good ol' fashioned debate.

$1,000,000,000,000 Change you can believe in?

Bush started it and Obama is continuing it. The problem?: too much debt, not enough cash. The solution?: lets spend more money. Never mind that the recent stimulus bill before the last election and Bush's bailout spending plan have not made any changes. Let's spend more. I'm so glad Obama is bringing us change.

Here is a list of all the changes that will be made according to the "stimulus package". I guess all these projects are a new direction, right?
