Following issues and politics in St. Louis area from the retired "Steelworker" view. Politics will be the main theme, but news of the group and Steelworkers will also be followed.
You folks might find the CNN Situation Room interview with Bill Maher of interest. Again, this is copyrighted stuff and I shall withdraw if objections made:
Bill Maher in his HBO program made some remarks about health care. This is copyrighted material and I will withdraw if protest made.
Remarks are very interesting. From March 06, 09 show (Real Time). Worth watching if one has the Charter "On Demand" feature on television. Bill was the host of the ABC show "Politically Incorrect" before he was fired. HBO then hired Bill to do hour long series in 03.
Welcome to my blog. As a member of the St. Louis chapter of the Retired Steelworkers and a member of the Alliance for Retired Americans, I can say without a doubt groups are busy in the St. Louis area. This blog is a modest effort to inform members and the general public of some of our activities and concerns. I will also "soapbox" areas and issues.
We see the solution to many of the woes of the St. Louis area as economic and political. St. Louis has a myrid of problems, but a strong economy with responsible leaders would help greatly in the solution to these woes. Alas, such is lacking on several levels with many of the "civil leaders" squabbling like children or worse, taking care of special interests instead of the public. Business leaders? get real, many of these so called leaders shame the term "Captains of Industry".
Once the St. Louis area was a leader in many areas. Now, some of the area can be compared to Third world areas with no problems what so ever.
That is unacceptable.
