The Constitution of the United States clearly states that the president shall appoint Supreme Court justices with the confirmation of the senate.
With the death of a justice the president has a duty under the Constitution to appoint a justice to take his place even though he has only 10 more months in office.
The Constitution implies that a hearing must be held and only then a rejection of the nominee can take place, as happened in the past.
The senators of the United State should do their job, even if it means rejecting the nominee of the president, after all what are the tax payers paying $175,000 per senator for.
If any senator doesn't want to do his constitutional duty that person should resign.

Steve's Barking; Donald (Duck) Trump and the new Republican conservatives
There's a new Republican conservatism brought about by the campaign of Donald Duck.
The new conservatism of the Republican Party. Conserve Social Security. Conserve Medicare.
The Donald understands this is what the old people want, and we all know that the older you get the more conservative you are.
What happens if the Donald wins the Republican nomination and promises to bail out Porto Rico.
Would that split the Latino vote?
What happens if the Donald promises to lend Mexico the money interest free to build the wall along the boarder having a Hugh.public works project? What would happen if the Duck promised to give a thousand bucks to all illegals to leave, would they take it? Or how many would take it?

Steve's barking; Getting serious about Syria
Let me start out by saying or a least writing that the middle eastern countries in turmoil need a plan to start rebuilding. Even as there is carnage going on rebuilding and bring industry is a must.
Loans must be thought of. New industries must be planed. Hope based upon ability to feel good about one self is essential.
Hope for the future is probably the greatest weapon against the voices of evil.
The world being in a recession we fix it by manufacturing things that the middle eastern countries need for manufacturing.
Win, win for everybody except nervous Nellie's about money.

Steve's barking; The cost of single payer healthcare .
Now I keep hearing that the cost of single payer ( or as I want single payer ( the government gives you a voucher from your taxes to buy health insurance) would cost trillions of trillions of dollars.
Because I don't have the figures in front of me but I know how to figure it out..
First we get the figures what the states and local governments pay toward health care, as in the case of states is 20 to 30 percent of the budget. I don't know what local governments pay but I imagine it's about the same. Then we take what businesses pay, add that in. Next we take what all employees pay and add that in. Next we add in what is payed by Americans who buy their own insurance.
If we decide to eliminate co pay all together we add that in. Maybe if we want to put eye examines and glasses in to the mix along with dental we find out how much the cost of insurance is being payed plus what those who don't have insurance are paying. That's shouldn't be a tall order for all those think tanks.
Now we go to the negatives or how we're going to pay. Number one states will no longer be paying health cost there by eliminating a percentage of deductible ( even standard deductible) that the tax payer pays. Medicare payments as we now know it would be eliminated. A health tax will take it place. Heath care accounts will no longer be needed. Deductions will be reduced, health care decision not needed. Now we get into tax the rich for the rest of health care. No not really, There are many imaginative ways of taxing(?) such as a having a health tax for corporations that move headquarters to avoid paying corporate taxes. A one percent health tax on any corporation foreign or domestic that does business in the US of A.
The reason I'm writing this is nobody has explained were they got their trillions and trillions added to the public budget.
We just have to believe economist on faith, while they don't explain how they got their figures from.

Steve's barking; Europeon socialism, bad example
A lot has been stated how well that almost all the European countries take care of their citizens.
Health care being one of the primary examples.
Wrong look toward any European system. The damn bureaucrats and their call for austerity are eating away at the very core of their health care system.
Some of the European nations are giving the senior citizen high anxiety with cuts to their pensions.
Then the bureaucratese wonder why they're going through a recession.
The good old US of A must take what's good from Europe and through the rest away. Europe for it's part should stop looking across the pond for stupid advice, they can f*** up all by themselves .

Steve's Barking; American politics or brat attack
Another free commercial for candidates for president better know as candidate debates.
In all the debates what is lacking is a clear definition of how each positions of each candidate will benefit the American public.
What is the most important thing the Republican candidates want you to know about is that in most cases their more conservative then the next candidate.Now a big question in the Democrat debate is that candidate Hilary Clinton may or may not be a progressive.
I like to call this a brat attack. This is like what bratty children sound like. Your Daddy is ugly. No your daddy's ugly.
I call myself a progressive, after all I need Social Security, get a government pension, live in a housing complex that was created by progressives. Got my education through the GI bill, and worked for a government agency that was created by a progressive agenda, so if I wasn't a progressive I would be a hypocrite.
I also like to call myself a Hamilton conservative.
In some way being a Hamilton conservative and a progressive are miles apart and in other ways they are the exact same thing. When we think of America's founding father's he was called the most conservative, yet he was the one who was the most anti-slavery. He was also the one who pointed out that the constitution in it's preamble states to promote the general welfare. What could be more progressive then that.
