Today on one of the Sunday morning news shows, my daughter, who is a teacher, heard a discussion about why the American middle class is disappearing. That it is disappearing, and disappearing rapidly, is an indisputable fact as the bulk of wealth in the United States becomes more and more concentrated in the hands of the wealthiest two or three percent of the population.

If you read the Sunday edition of the Herald Democrat you may have noticed an advertisement featuring a letter from Gene Short encouraging his “Republican supporters” to vote for Virginia Hughes.

Widespread media reports indicate that President Obama is considering announcing at the State of the Union speech on Tuesday that he is willing to cut, or to accept cuts to, Social Security.

When Gov. Rick Perry talked about Texas seceding from the United States at one of the tea party rallies, there were cheers and smiles all about him. Jefferson would have calmly said, “If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union to change its Republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated and reason is left free to combat it.”

Recently, I e-mailed an old friend from Sachse and asked her about her thoughts on the tea party victories. She was my neighbor and the Republican precinct chair. I was the Democratic chair. We got along well, and elections were fun, with me assisting her as alternate election judge. I don’t know what I said exactly that offended her, but she has not replied (probably not to offend me). I’m planning an apology in hopes of renewing discussions with her. I will remind her that Thomas Jefferson once said, “I have never considered the difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as a cause from withdrawing from a friend.” Then I will tell her that she and her family are still in my prayers, as I know I am in theirs.

We need to be more Jeffersonian today — we need to find wisdom, get active, use reason and stay friendly.

State of the Union Address a Preview A Video

Sunday 01/23/2011 brought America more tragic news about senseless shootings. A gunman walked into a Detroit police station and opened fire, wounding four officers, including a commander, before he was shot and killed by police. In Washington state, a shootout in front of a Walmart left two more people dead and two sheriff’s deputies wounded.
In fact, 34 people are murdered with firearms every day in America.

Tonight I addressed the American people on the future we face together. Though at times it may seem uncertain, it is a future that is ours to decide, ours to define, and ours to win. I know we will. Because, after the worst recession in decades, we see an economy growing again. Because, after two years of job losses, we’ve added private-sector jobs for 12 straight months — more than 1 million in all. Because, time after time, when our resolve has been tested, we, as a nation, have always prevailed.

AUSTIN — Hundreds of nursing homes, including dozens in Dallas-Fort Worth, may close if lawmakers cut Medicaid as leaders propose, industry officials said Thursday.

Since last week, GOP leaders have introduced budgets in both chambers that would reduce by one-third the state’s budget for its 56,000 nursing home residents on Medicaid. Two-year spending would sink to $2.8 billion, from $4.2 billion.

“We are not crying wolf. Pieces of the sky are falling,” said Tim Graves, head of the Texas Health Care Association, a trade group that represents 500 nursing homes, most of them for-profit operations. He said the cuts would jeopardize about half of the state’s 1,100 nursing homes: those with 70 percent or more of patients on the Medicaid rolls.

Sen. Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, though, said he was “expecting that kind of input” and it’s why he’s opening budget hearings next week with a look at social services.

“The worst news is already out there,” said Ogden, head of the Senate Finance Committee. “Over the next few months, we’re going to try to improve it so at the end of the day, these cuts are not fatal.”

In 2009, the elderly and disabled made up only 30 percent of the enrollment in Texas Medicaid, a state-federal health program for the poor. But they consumed nearly 60 percent of the $24.5 billion spent that year.

Some advocates say Texas spends too much on institutional care of enfeebled Medicaid recipients, and should do more to keep them at home. Graves responded that Texas’ Medicaid payment levels for skilled nursing homes rank 49th in the nation.

He said 551 Texas nursing homes, 85 of them in Dallas and surrounding counties, are at serious risk. That’s because Medicaid covers 70 percent or more of their residents, he said.

Graves said the cuts could trigger a wave of bankruptcies and closures, especially combined with coming cuts in Medicare to help pay for the federal health care overhaul.

Mike Gavin, president of Plano-based Preferred Care Partners Management Group, which owns nine North Texas nursing homes and 26 others across the state, agreed the outlook is scary for the industry.

Currently, Texas Medicaid pays the company about $130 per patient per day, he said. Under the leaders’ budget, that would drop to $88.

Gavin said Preferred Care would have to lay off nurses and assistants, especially at its two Dallas County homes, DeSoto Nursing and Rehabilitation and Lancaster Nursing and Rehabilitation. At each, 80 percent of patients are on Medicaid.

Layoffs jeopardize the quality of care, which Gavin said can set off “a death spiral” of citations from the state, damage to a home’s reputation and relatives’ removing their loved ones.

Not to interrupt any punch-ups, but the call has gone out across America for a toning down of violent and/or harsh political rhetoric. This is easier said than done.

Still, thanks must go to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., for setting a fine example.

Appearing Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” he was asked about the “birther” movement, which seeks President Barack Obama’s birth certificate as the knights of Camelot sought the Holy Grail — except the birthers have a more medieval defiance of logic.

The billionaire conservatives hold a gathering of elected officials, political donors and strategists. Outside, liberals hold signs condemning ‘corporate greed.’ 25 are arrested for trespassing.

Help to stop the GOP plan to redefine rape

WASHINGTON — A planned trip by former President George W. Bush to Switzerland this week has been canceled in the face of threatened large-scale protests and calls for an investigation into whether his administration committed human rights abuses in the fight against terrorism.
A spokesman for Mr. Bush said Saturday that the trip was canceled after the United Israel Appeal, an international Jewish charity organizing the Geneva event where he had been scheduled to speak next Saturday, told him on Friday that it was canceling the speech because of security concerns.

Rather than focus on creating jobs, House Republicans have begun a comprehensive and radical assault on a woman’s right to choose.
One bill would punish women and businesses with a massive tax increase for insurance that covers the full range of reproductive health care. Another would cut off federal dollars to woman’s health care clinics that offer reproductive health services. Plus, Republicans are refusing to drop their attempt to redefine rape.

The stalemate in Wisconsin and other Midwestern states between Republican governors and organized labor is about much more than pay, benefits and collective bargaining.

A proposal working its way through the House Appropriations committee this week would cut state Medicaid spending by 33 percent. The elderly and disabled take up 59 percent of Medicaid spending in Texas and much of it goes to nursing homes. Other Medicaid programs that help the elderly stay at home would be cut 40 percent.

For the elderly, state budget cuts could mean no more daily hot meals and exercise classes to help prevent falls. At worst, some could even lose their beds at the nursing home.

These and other lifelines for seniors may disappear as governors and lawmakers slash spending to close an estimated $112 billion in budget shortfalls, advocates say.
