MooPig Report from the Middle :: The Initials have been Changed to Protect the Innocent PART TWO

Today, June 13th, is my older brother's birthday. We are both pain-in-the-ass June babies, seven years apart. The initials are changed to protect the innocent. Yes, we have brought on the pain over the years.

It so happens that a word in use has been spotted by the MooPig "Verses, Commentaries, Concordances Department." That word is "convoluted." It has been spotted used in many different places for the last year or so. What does convoluted mean?

Well it goes something like this: "
" ... Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked consideration of a Democratic bill to prevent the doubling of some student loan interest rates, leaving the legislation in limbo less than two months before rates on subsidized federal loans are set to shoot upward.
NOTE:
YES = vote to prevent student loan interest rates from doubling
NO = vote to allow student loan interest rates to double (See Poll Results HERE ) ... "

Is this a good thing or a bad thing -- WHO THE HELL KNOWS??!!!

A married couple trying to put two through college will see this as a slap in the face... since the student loan system has been the only way to put a kid in college of late. Suddenly, the convoluted government decides to let the interest rates double for some unwitting moms and dads? The loan programs have been around since the 60's...!

Convoluted: " ... highly complex or intricate and occasionally devious; "the Byzantine tax structure"; "Byzantine methods for holding on to his chairmanship"; "convoluted legal language"; "convoluted reasoning"; "the plot was too involved"; "a knotty problem"; "got his way by labyrinthine maneuvering"; "Oh, what a tangled web we weave"- Sir Walter Scott; "tortuous legal procedures"; "tortuous negotiations lasting for months" ... " (online dictionary. HERE)

Byzantine, eh?

That's our Report from the Middle, where men are good looking, women are strong, and children are all above average ... not convoluted.

It's up to us, that's U.S. VOTERS, to go to the polls; educated, informed and full of well thought out voting strategy, so that we can be certain OUR VOICE is heard during these trying times. The American Government form of bribery called lobbying, particularly by corporations, has to be brought to accoutability to the citizen/consumer who ultimately must bear the cost/consequence of this tactic by the plutocracy.
