the "reality show" presidency.. In Iowa, it is a damn nightmare.. the republicans took over everything.. and they are doing away with collective bargaining.. .. it is crazy town out there..and it is all going on while we are being distracted by the hub bub in DC...
Truth is hard, but we have to be vigilant on many fronts.. and not just what shiny object is in front of us..

(22,876 posts)and Terry Branstad and the legislature.. are pushing the Wisc. disaster hard.. We were always so proud of our educational values.. and now they are going to kneecap research in Iowa just like they did in Wisc. Doing away with scholarships, that funded so much medical and science research.. for what.. Branstad gave the state away in tax cuts for corporations the last few years.. with no returns.. and it has bankrupted us almost..=Trickle down does not work except when you are going to the bathroom
