Blueskygirl is taking off about 10 days to clear out the cobwebs. If you can imagine becoming obsessed with Buerkle, then you have a head start on understanding why it will be so fun to go somewhere cool without a computer.
In the meantime keep an eye on her (Buerkle) .
One more thing: Buerkle is having another town hall meeting, this time at the Palmyra Town Hall on June 8 from 6-7 PM. She's keeping the meetings good and short: a 15 minute talk at the beginning and answering easy questions in the remaining time.
If you go, you might like to ask her how she liked the bad press she and the rest of the Financial Oversight committee garnered by giving Elizabeth Warren, possibly the most upright person in Washington, a hard time?
And also maybe ask her why she questioned Elizabeth Warren about a proposed salary of $70,000 for a position in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that Warren is trying to set up, no thanks to the Republicans? [The answer: so that the Bureau will be competitive in attracting well-qualified people.]
After all,Buerkle herself is making $170,000 to be a warm body in a position she is uniquely unqualified to hold. P.S.:She probably made in the neighborhood of $70,000 as an Assistant Attorney General back in Syracuse, an unglamorous paper-pusher job.
Oh yeah, ask her how the "magic of the marketplace" is working out for poor people in Joplin and Tuscaloosa who lived in public housing with no government requirement of a safe room in the basement?
See you soon!
