Franklin Roosevelt said the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance to those who have much; it is whether we provide enough to those who have too little. This reconciliation package fails that test as well.

Traffic Jam: The Trap Of Traffic Light
It's not only test your luck, but also test your patience
It's not only test your guts, but also test your instinct
It's not only test your sanity, but also test your obedience to law
It's not only test your ethics, but also test your fidelity
It's not only test your sight, but also test your reflex
It's not only test your estimation of time, but also test your street knowledge
It's not only test your ego, but also test your kindness
It's not only test your control, but also test your awareness
It's not only test your attitude, but also test your responsibility
It's not only test your priority, but also test your humanity

Take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly, and try another. But by all means, try something.

Setup To Fail
When you come to test someone,
You believe is unprepared?
AND with a confidence,
You will be the one to pass...
YOUR 'test',
Easily!
To then leave and be on your way?
Be sure your activities,
Have not been scrutinized...
Prior to administering 'your' test.
What appears to be simple...
May keep your brain twisted,
For the rest of your life.
Riddled with doubts you question.
When you come to test someone,
You believe is unprepared?
AND with a confidence,
You will be the one to pass...
YOUR 'test',
Easily?
Remember this...
You just may be the one,
Being setup to fail.

Valor is a gift. Those having it never know for sure whether they have it till the test comes. And those having it in one test never know for sure if they will have it when the next test comes.

Economic Stimulus Package
Sounds like something will be delivered,
To appease a taste for something once desired.
But...
Will it satisfy an addiction craved?
Will a boost reduce the urge to want more?
What about those insisting more stimulation?
Should the wrappings of this package be kept,
And savored?
Will the crumbs remembered,
Induce long lasting affects?
Will there be another economic stimulus package...
Arriving after that one has exhausted its test?

The Test
as sure as the sun rises in the east-and sets in the west
my love for you is just a test.
a test to see if my heart is true
a test to see if i deserve you.
a test to see if my love will rise to the occassion.
and feel the sensation.
the sensation of being with you-is all i want to do.
for true love is hard to find.
it is classified as 'devine.'

Be Blind Sometime
Don’t test literature
With science and wisdom.
Don’t test the scriptures
With science and knowledge
Don’t test your beloved
With doubts and notions.
They will lose their charm.
Be blind to enjoy them.

If someone offers to furnish a sure test, ask what the test was which made the sure test sure.
The only possible role that I can see for reconciliation would be to make modest changes in the major package to improve affordability, to deal with what share of Medicaid expansion the federal government pays, those kinds of issues, which is the traditional role for reconciliation in health care.

Ping!
he may be the most brilliant
most brilliant I've ever met
I had specific needs this place covers
but there's more to where I'm at
what I'm learning is making me stronger
new ways to handle myself
almost like a test of who I am
or will I break down and become like everyone else
I've had a milestone and some setbacks to be sure
but now that I am past them
changing myself for the better, working for the future
if this test fails I would remain
at a level that I can't stand
but as I'm overcoming
it's like I'm still clearly led by his hand
success doesn't come easy here
around defeating attitudes
but now that God has renewed my strength
I'm amazed what it is making me improve

The time helps
A frame that stood the test of time
Stands as a monument.
A thing that stood the test of time
Stands as an antique.
A writing that stood the test of time
Stands as a classic
A name that stood the test of time
Stands as a great.
There might be numerous
More valuable than them,
As casualties of accidents.
