Hypocrisy from The Chamber of Commerce , Donahue

 

Jed Lewison Senior Political writer for the Daily Kos, graduated from Yale University and was communication director for Senator Maria Cantwell from Washington (Democrat) author of Chamber of Commerce CEO taunts Ted Cruz as a useless, ineffective hack article in which he discuses the recent comment from the Chamber of Commerce about Ted Cruz recent actions in the Government shutdown. The irony of Chamber of Commerce CEO calling Ted Cruz ineffective is almost comical because the way the author sees it The Chamber of Commerce CEO hasn’t done anything to get the government up and running and the Republicans part of bluffing on defaulting is anything but helpful. Not only does the article discuses the double standards of the republican party but also according to the quote from Bruce Josten the chamber’s top lobbyist (quote Jed provide) “hopeful the House and Senate will go to conference, [and] have the president sign” referring to the immigration reform which if you haven’t paid attention to the news lately is on hold because they haven’t approved of the sentiments which  again the author points out the republicans hypocrisy. In the end it comes down to the republicans if they wanted things to work (government and the immigration bill) they would allow if not cooperate with the Democratic Party to make things happen. The author intended audience is for those who will agree with him which is the left side of the political spectrum the Liberals , his views will only bounce of those who are opposed say to the health care reform and instead only sink in and add fuel to those who think just like him. Personally as I must say I agree with dear Jed Lewison views but frankly my opinion on the matter won’t mean a thing because I already belong in the numbers of the liberals it only matters if the republicans understand that by simply not doing anything it is more harmful than helpful to the public.

 War and Baked Beans : The young generation and the Government

 

 Robert Olmstead is a journalist and author for The New York Times whose work varies from books to news articles. Olmstead takes the conflict of Syria and goes beyond the aspect of war but instead discusses a new victim in the situation the youth group. His perspective is unique and different from other people his age who most of the time have very strict opinion on the younger generation instead he proposes that the older generation and the government are hurting the younger generation exposing them continuously to war. His background also as a teacher hints at how he relates or perhaps understand both side of the situation making his arguments more concrete. Olmsted description of his past and the memory of his mother’s beans sets the tone for the article as he compares the past to the presents to what was the good ol’ days. Not only does his memories present reflection they also serve as comparison to what the government is doing and Olden presents simple solution that will take care of the issue .His opinion could get a lot of approval from the younger generation because he presents them as the naïve and hopeful generation. The younger generation as he says are being left with the consequences of the decisions the government and are left with debt that a government shutdown can’t fix. Robert Olden “War and Baked Beans” is very much an interesting article with a different take on results of conflict that consider the possible  dilemmas that are left for the younger generation to deal with a view in which many people have forgotten who is going to be left to deal with such consequences.
