Government Intelligence

This is a question for all you out there who invested in stocks at some time in your life. Please think about this question a bit before you answer it because it requires a great deal of thought. I am going to present a scenario that is going to really put you on the fence in terms of a financial decision. Nevertheless, I want you to draw a conclusion.

Here is the scenario: Blockbuster today announced that it is entering into bankruptcy. The company, at least temporarily, will continue operations while they reorganize their debt. It is anyone's guess if the company will emerge and what it will look like. Nevertheless, my question is would you buy this stock today? Before you answer, let me add to the mix and ask if you would pay $30+ more per share than the highest price Blockbuster ever traded at?

If you have even 1/10 of a brain, the answer is 'no'. What moron would invest in a situation like this? I will give you the answer: you did! You are a proud owner of a percentage of General Motors thanks to the tremendous decision making process of our corrupt government leaders. A recent report emerged stating that the government will need to sell GM stock for $134 per share to just break even on the money it gave them. This is over $30 more per share than the highest stock price GM ever had.

Can you see why government is the enemy. Everyday it steals from people like you to fund these asinine projects. In this instance, Barack Obama, the genius with no business background whatsoever, made the decision to pander to the unions. These corrupt goons had a large part in bankrupting the company in the first place. And, our President rewards them by taking your money and forking it over to them. This is treasonous and this bastard out to be brought up on charges (along with almost every other member of Congress). The people belong in jail.

Accounting Tricks

I recently read an article in the NY Times (relax, it was linked to me via another site) that spelled out some of the tricks that states are now using to balance their budgets. This is a maneuver that relates to the pension plans. What these states are doing is cutting the future benefits to new employees. While this is a wonderful concept which will net savings in the long run, we are seeing the political hacks manipulate this for present gain. A slight of hand accounting trick is enabling these corrupt public servants to take the future savings in the present budget years, in turn, balancing the budgets.

Once again we see the political class rear their corrupt heads. The problem with his deal is the simple fact that most of these pension funds are underfunded as we speak. In layman's terms, the simply do not have enough money. Of course, the states are in a quandary since cutting any present pension payments results in union lawsuits. Therefore, they need to suck savings wherever else they can. Yet this maneuver allows them to bypass the step of having to cut the present budget. Once again, votes are more important.

We need to step in and straighten out all politicians. The 'kicking the can down the road' should no longer be tolerated. Anyone who sits back and watches this occur is a felon. These people are screwing the present and future generations. This hack in the White House is so bad he belongs tied to a pole and facing a firing squad. Madoff is a said compared to these people. The same holds true for the members of both houses of Congress. There is a body where 535 of individuals should be tried for treason. (For those of you who dont understand that number, that encompasses members of both parties)

The politicians will use any trick to fool the public. Only in government can people argue of the size of the deficit and feel that less bad is good. At the same time, these people are immune from any negative consequences. We need to change that. If jailtime is not in the books for these corrupt people, then we need to look at alternative measures. The revolution is quickly approaching.

Death Threats

I thought the government was designed to protect the people. Well, welcome to life in this era. This is another part of the original thoughts that went by the wayside. Now, the government, specifically Congress, are putting people in harm's way. It is sad when private citizens are placed at peril by the Feds.

I am obviously referring to the AIG debacle. This story gets crazier by the day. We come to find out that many of those who received bonuses got death threats. To me, this is absurd. It will be interesting to see if the government atones for their screwups by prosecuting these people.

First, it is crucial to realize that those who received the bonuses are law abiding citizens. They had signed contracts which stipulated payments for their services rendered. They were the ones who were looked to in an effort to try to salvage what they could of AIG.

Secondly, they were not the people who caused the collapse. The ones responsible for that mess left over a year ago. People are taking it out on the wrong people.

Then Congress comes up with the idea to tax these people at 90% in an effort to get the money back. This is the equivalent to modern day piracy. All these members of Congress who signed on to this ridiculous idea ought to be tried and convicted. Their actions are outrageous.

Of course, Congress claims they wanted to get the money back for the taxpayers, like it is their money. What a farce. The politicians put people lives at risk for political gain. And have you heard even one apology. Nancy Pelosi ought to call each AIG bonus recipient and personally ask their forgiveness for being such a stupid ass. So should Chuck Shumer. Barney Frank. And the ever corrupt Chris Dodd. These people should be ashamed of their behavior.

Congress is showing how much they can screw things up when the government is involved. There is nothing they touch which they cannot turn into total crap. Lovers of big government show how truly ignorant they really are. Government excels at corruption and inefficiency. This is what they do best.

When private citizens are receiving death as a result of the actions of people in Congress, something needs to be done. Bet the ranch the FBI would be investing if one of the members of Congress received a death threat. Of course, to demand equal justice is absurd. The powerful only protect themselves.

Maybe people will wake up to the fact that these people in Washington need to be thrown out of office. The revolution is nearing.

The Government Running A Business

What is the business that the government operates which is a total mess? While you can point to Amtrak, I am referring to the United States Post Office. Many will claim this entity is separate from the Federal Government. Do not buy it. This is as government as it gets.

Did you notice the head of the Post Office was in front of Congress begging for money? It seems this entity, which has a monopoly on private letters, is running out of money. Without help from Congress they will have to stop paying some of their bills. Well, maybe we should let the Post Office fail?

Here is the article spelling out the details.

Of course, this is another entity which is in trouble with a unionized workforce. The Postal Inspectors Union is being offered early retirement. My question is how about layoffs? Oh, that cannot be done when there is a union involved. Therefore, this entity will not be profitable since it cannot reduce it's labor expense. Once again the unions strike.

We are seeing the spreading of this mentality with the Obama administration. Everyone will be on Capitol Hill asking for money. The ones leading the charge are the unionized workforces trying to get more money for inferior work. Actually, the postal workers are one of the few who truly earn their money. Yet, we have the teacher unions screwing up our schools while passing a bunch of morons. The UAW and the Teamsters do even warrant a rant. Their influence is highly noted in companies such as GM.

When will America wake up. Obama is taking this country to a point where it might not recover. To be honest, that doesn't really bother me. We might need to blow this entire thing up and start anew. The average person is so clueless it simply astounds me. Well, they will be the ones slaughtered like sheep.

Let the revolution begin.

The AIG Hoopla

This is what happens when you let government get involved with anything. They mess it up. People end up playing politics with people's lives. The truth is that government is the most corrupt, inefficient, and unethical organization there is, accusations that were levied against AIG.

Here are the facts of the matter. It is absurd for the politicians to scream over $140 million in bonuses when they just passed a pork-laden spending bill in the amount of $410 billion. Anyone on Capitol Hill who opens their mouth about this ought to be slapped. After all, it was Chuck Schumer, Senator from New York, who stated during the hearing for the spending bill that the American people do not care about $200 million.

Another thing: those receiving the bonuses did not create the financial crisis AIG finds itself in. Those parties are long gone. The ones who are there now were the ones put in charge of reversing the trend. They legally earned this money and it is immoral, unethical, and unconstitutional for Congress to take it back.

Finally, the argument that quality people will not leave the financial institutions is bogus. These people are talented. They will find employment elsewhere. There are plenty of companies who are willing to take them on at salaries well above the cap that the government placed upon the Tarp receiving companies. Of course, this will further weaken the institutions the government is professing to want to help. This will lead to the nationalization of these outfits. Do you see how the scam works now?

In case you still have an issue with this AIG deal, here is a copy of a resignation letter that appeared in the NY Times.

AIG Bonuses

The Imperial Federal government decided that the people who received bonuses at AIG ought to be taxed at a 90% tax rate. This is nothing more than an outrage. These people did nothing illegal yet are being investigated by the Congress like they were Al Capone. It is truly awful that we have come to this.

Here is the simple fact. A bunch of moronic politicians who are as corrupt as they are stupid are imposing their will. Of course, they are claiming this is to protect the taxpayers money. Why now? They did not seem to care when they were spending $30 million on the study of rats in San Francisco (or whatever they wasted money on).

So, Congress feels that the law abiding citizens who received bonuses from AIG ought to give the money back. It is outrageous that people take money from a company when it is going under. If that is the criteria, maybe Congress should give the money back also. After all, it is taxpayer money.

Here is a list of the top 12 people in Congress who received money from AIG in 2008.

1. Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., $103,100
2. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., $101,332
3. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., $59,499
4. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., $35,965
5. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., $24,750
6. Former Gov. Mitt Romney, (R) Pres $20,850
7. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., $19,975
8. Rep. John Larson, D-Conn, $19,750
9. Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H., $18,500
10. Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani (R) Pres $13,200
11. Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa., $12,000
12. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., $11,000

I am sure you will recognize some of the names on there. Funny, now they are the ones most outraged by the bonuses. Hypocritical?

Job 1: Protect Us

The politicians in Washington are forgetting one thing: the most important responsibility they have is to protect the American people. Mark my words: if Americans are harmed by terrorist organizations, whether they are from the Middle East or Mexico, there will be hell to pay. Obama and his cronies better develop some defense mechanisms. Their liberal pandering to people who hate us is going to get people killed. That will result in a sentiment to pay back in kind.

Mexico is a mess. Someone better realize that. Enough cow-towing to all the Hispanic organizations. If you dont like it, leave. This is a place where the citizens of this country have a right to feel safe. All the illegals coming over the border are putting innocent people's lives at risk. It needs to stop. We are witnessing chaos in our cities and the Federal government sits back and does nothing.

Houston is a city that is in total disarray. I believe they are still trying to recover from all the lowlife scum they accept from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Now, they are dealing with Mexican drug dealers. Here is a story which shows the danger this city is facing.

I will say one thing about the Socialist George Bush: he understood how important it was to protect the American people. It was something that he stayed consistent with no matter what the polls said. He went to bed believing he did all he could to protect America. And, the results show that he was successful. Nothing happened on American soil after 9/11. I doubt the same would be true if Obama was running the show. I sense that we are going to see something happen in the next few years as Obama and the liberals reveal all our secrets (just think of Diana Feinstein revealing on camera that we used Pakastani bases). These people have absolutely no clue.

The time is nearing when the American people will have to take matters in their own hands. It is sad because most of them are sheep. In all actuality, many of them deserve their fate. It is the basis of nature. Survival of the fittest is the norm. In this era, it is intelligence that is the main commodity. And, most do not have enough sense to get out of the rain. They will learn only after it is too late.

I am here to warn everyone of the impending changes that are coming. We are seeing chaos in every facet of our lives. If you believe the government is going to fix anything, you are a total fool. The fact that our southern border is not secure shows how inept the United States leadership is. We are harking on a time when collapse on many fronts is a possibility.

Make your preparations now.

History Repeating Itself

We have reverted back to the 1700s. They say those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. I believe we are witnessing the beginnings of a struggle which was fought over 200 years ago. Unfortunately, the political leaders in Washington are no different then the King of England during that period. It seems many are feeling what the colonists felt.

There was a group of brave protesters in St. Louis who staged a revision of the Boston Tea Party. (Read article)

Taxation is not the immediate cause of unrest. It is spending. However, if anyone thinks that Obama is going to pay for all this mess without taxing the middle class, they are insane. Already we are getting estimates that his tax on energy is going to raise the average electric bill by 6% while a gallon of gas will go up 12-15 cents. This is on top of the increases at the state and local levels. People are going to pissed when the new taxes hit.

People are also outraged at the fact that their voices are not heard. The politicians do what they want without consequences. Take the bailout of the auto manufacturers as an example. The polls showed the majority of Americans were against it. Yet, even after Congress voted against it, Bush went ahead anyway. Ditto for the stimulus. Contrary to what the politicians say, polls showed the majority of Americans were also against that bill. Again, it went ahead. Now, we have a $3.5 trillion budget which will saddle future generations with debt. What are the chances this passes?

Once again we are at the point where the people are being screwed. It is sad there is not the national outrage against those in power. The people in the government are destroying this country and everyone is standing by allowing them. This will certainly come back to bite them in the ass.

I applaud the people in St. Louis today. Good for them. Hopefully we will see more of it in the future.

Tax and Spender

The ruse is over. For anyone who actually believed that Obama was a centrist or was going to govern from the middle, your world was shattered last night. If the fact that he signed the largest spending bill in history did not convince you, his speech to Congress did. Obama is a liberal in the truest sense of the word.

So what are we confronted with? We have a leader who is the atypical tax and spender. Obama believes that government is the answer. He likes it bigger and bigger. The more power the government has, the happier he is.

Obama is going to get his wish. He has the most liberal Congress that I can remember. Any organization that is headed by a representative from San Francisco is going to be way out there. And this one is.

I believe most people understood that Obama was one who would say anything to get elected. Hell, what politician won't? However, there were some who actually believed in "change you can believe in". What a ruse that is. He is no different then any other power hungry politician. Everything that he is doing is par for the course with Washington. Lobbyist in the administration is nothing new. Neither is unscrupulous people serving in the cabinet. Overall, Obama is atypical of Washington.

After last night's speech, my beliefs were confirmed. Forget the rhetoric of slashing the deficit in half. This guy is going to waste so much money over the next few years that the debt will grow by 50%. He will make Bush look conservative and he spent like a drunken liberal.

The issues confronting California and New York will be confronted by the country. Those two states have been run by tax and spend liberals for decades. Now, they are broke. This will be the United States in a couple of years. The only thing saving our asses right now is the fact we can print money. Wait until nobody has confidence in it. Then all hell will break loose.

What A Fraud

Obama has no clue what he is doing. Personally, I thought we would never see anyone who was as inept as Jimmy Carter. I was wrong. This guy is going to make Carter look like Abraham Lincoln. Mark my words, the Obama administration (and the morons in Congress) is going to screw this situation up that it will take us a generation to unravel.

Once again, the stock market crashed following the remarks of the esteemed President. His gurus are now thinking of buying 40% of Citibank. I dont know about you, but the idea of the government owning one bank while the rest are struggling is not a good thing. Not only will the shareholders suffer, but the system is going to dive at this idea. We are already seeing it.

Besides, what makes these morons think the government is able to solve any business problem. Let us look at the entities the government is involved in. The United States Post Office. Losing billions. Amtrak. Ditto, billions in loses. Fannie and Freddie. Total collapse. Do you get the point?

Obama campaigned as a problem solver. The truth is he is a talker when it serves him. At the moment, Obama is talking down the economy. If you believe that to be right-wing rhetoric, then check all his speeches the last month. He makes speeches that are self-serving without regard for who he is hurting. Obama, as all politicians, are out for themselves. Maintaining power is the focus. And he will do anything for that end.

For weeks we heard how crucial it is for his "stimulus" bill to get done. Forgetting the fact that this is the most obvious liberal spending platform ever, it increased the debt by almost $1 trillion (closer to $2 trillion when interest and all the rest is factored in). That was bad enough. Now, suddenly, this moron suddenly feels that deficits are dangerous (read article). Yeah, no shit Sherlock. Of course, saying that before we spent $30 million studying the mouse in San Francisco (courtesy of Nancy Pelosi) was not in the cards.

Obama is a total fraud. He is someone who is totally unqualified to be President of the Boy Scouts, let alone the United States. He is a liar from the corrupt Chicago political establishment. He is showing himself to be a say anything to get elected type but do none of it. His administration is filled with lobbyists and tax cheats (and it would have more if he could have gotten them through). In short, he is pathetic.

The end is closer than we believe. Obama is going to screw up the United States so much. We are closing in on the time when the revolution will take place. Remember, you Presidential piece of trash, you work for us.

The Right To Protect Yourself

Have you ever noticed how politicians will stand at the microphone and tell how we need to give up our guns. They want to create a state where they have total control. Taking away people's firearms is one of the primary methods to weaken the populous. It was effectively used by dictators throughout the last 200 years. Now, we are seeing it in the United States.

Of course, there is total hypocrisy with what the politicians are saying. For example, when the President stands up and says that we need more gun laws, he is doing so while surrounded by a dozen armed guards. So it is alright for him to have protection but not us.

Naturally, not every political leader has the Secret Service looking out for him or her. Sometimes that person will have to take matters into his or her own hands. This is a free exercising of the Constitutional rights afforded each citizen. Kirsten Gillibrand is a Senator in New York. She is also one who owns shotguns as a means of protection. This last week she had to move the guns because their location was leaked to the press. I applaud the Senator for using her rights to protect her family. (here is the article)

Now, you can guess what is coming. The Senator is facing a challenge for her seat from one who wants more gun control. There is a faction of the population that wants to remove all the guns from every law abiding citizen. The claim they are taking it out of the hands of criminals but that is not the case. A criminal, by the very definition, does not abide by laws. That is why he or she is a criminal. Buying a gun requires no license, waiting period, or anything else when you are doing it on a street corner. Cash is the only proof one needs.

Yet, this point seems to be overlooked by the anti-gun lobby. They are so foolish. Another of their arguments is that it protects the children. Let me ask you, how many children are killed each year by guns? I dont know the exact number but I recall reading a stat a few years ago that mention it was a couple hundred. Do you know how many people are killed by automobiles each years? I know the answer to this: it is around 40,000. Perhaps we should outlaw cars.

Here is the bottom line. Gun ownership is a right guaranteed by the Constitution. That means one does not have to earn it or qualify for it. It is inherently given to that person. This is no different than the right to vote. That is given to every adult in the United States simply because he or she is a citizen. We get our rights by default. Now, they can be removed if we are convicted of a crime. But short of that, every adult has the right to bear a firearm.

This is just another example where the rights of ordinary citizens are being trampled upon in the name of protect. Society seems so concerned with the "greater good" that it is destroying the very principles it was founded on.

The government feels it is all theirs

Have you noticed that the American government feels that everything is theirs? This was the mindset when we started as a country and it has not changed. If you remember back in the 1700s and 1800s, the government "sold off" non-settled land. By default, since the property was never titled, it was owned by the government of the United States. This entity feels it is entitled to make money off anything that it chooses.

What is the present day land sale? Well, we know it as the Internet. It is the new frontier of expansion. And, just like a couple hundred years ago, the government feels entitled to profit from this medium. Politicians who spend like drunken sailors simply cannot keep their greedy hands off things. Anything that they can gain tax revenue on is fair game.

Unfortunately, this mindset is not only at the Federal level. The states now believe they have the same rights. The idea of sales tax being charged on purchases over the Internet have been circling for years. It seems we are getting closer to that ultimate end.

Here is an article detailing what the governor of New York is proposing.

This is another instance where the lack of financial discipline created a deficit. New York is one of the worst states for this along with California. Their tax rates are already astronomical since the legislature cannot control its spending. Now, it wants to tax the Internet as a means of raising more money. This will lead to a domino-effect where all states follow suit. It is only a matter of time.

The states are already being "rewarded" by Obama's joke of a stimulus package. Politicians at the state level were recklessly spending for years. Now, instead of enjoying the "fruits" of their labor, they are being bailed out by the rest of us. This angers me. It is completely a case of taxation without representation. The fact that my tax dollars are going to an elected official whom I did not have a chance to vote for is unconstitutional. If the governor of a state cannot pay the bills, let that state deal with him or her. It is not my business. I have the leaders in my own state to monitor.

Once again, we are seeing another step in the eroding of our freedoms. There will come a time when the people stand up and say "enough". The further this goes, the quicker that time will come.

Bailout or Bankruptcy

Do you remember what I called "the end around" that George Bush pulled on Congress in December when he bailed out the automobile manuafacturers to the tune of $17 billion?"  Well, it seems the money didnt not fix anything at all.  Now, General Motors is giving the Obama administration an ultimatum: give us money or we will file bankruptcy.

To me, this seems like an easy one for Obama.  After the rough couple of weeks he had, he needs a soft one.  His decision ought to be left the company file bankruptcy and work it out there.  The government need not mess with this situation.  Jobs in that industry were already lost due to the slowdown over the past few years.  Some more might be lost but in the long run, more will be created.

The automobile manufacturers have nobody to blame but themselves for the mess they face.  A systemic failure is not possible like with the banking industry.  Someone will built cars for us.  It might be Ford, Chrysler, or Toyota.  There are plants in this country, just some are located outside of Detroit.  Unions are partially responsible for their plight.  Yet, management missed the total shift in consumer demand.  Let them float downstream together.

Is this what Obama is going to do?  Of course not.  He is on his knees beholden to the unions.  He already signed 4 executive orders which were extremely union friendly.  Now, he is going to give them billions more to prevent the unions from losing their power.  Dont worry.  When you blast through almost $800 billion without a single person in Congress reading the bill, what is another few billion.  

If Obama goes this route, it will be just another sign of what a terrible administration this is going to be.  He is showing that he is a pansy when it comes to leadership and intent on creating a nanny state where all Americans are weak.  Dependence upon the corrupt government, that is Obama's goal.  

He must be stopped.

These are our servants

We send our leaders to Washington to do our work. These are our elected officials. Yet, they repeatedly want to keep us in the dark about things. The events of the last 24 hours is no exception.

The United States Congress is embarking on the largest spending package in the history of this fine country. President Obama's "stimulus" bill is totaling almost $800 billion while taking up 1,100 pages. The negotiations between the House and Senate ended late last night.

Now, the House already passed the bill. As I write these words, the Senate is taking this bill to vote with passage expected. The historic event is going to occur within the next few hours.

Here is the million dollar question: Who can read 1,100 pages in 18 hours? How many of the Congress people and Senators read the contents of which they are voting? The answer seems to be none.

Here is a video of one Congressman protesting this very point.

How can these people vote for a bill without knowing the content? Simply, because they are corrupt politicians only concerned about their pet projects. Arlen Spector got his $6+ billion from the bill in exchange for his vote. According to reports, Nancy Pelosi got her $30 million for research of mice. And the list continues.

This is just another example of the corruption of the present political system. We are witnessing the largest increase in government spending for nothing. Under the guise of stimulus, the American people were duped into agreeing to political paybacks. This is corruption at it's finest.

We need to write down the name of every person who voted for this bill and remove them from office. The 2010 elections ought to see the removal of every single Democratic House member. This is what that criminals deserve.

Just keep Their Mouth Shut

Each time one of the morons in our government opens their mouth, the stock market tanks. It is amazing to watch. I am starting to believe the way to make money in this environment is to see the speech schedule of Obama and Geithner and short the Dow 10 minutes before they speak. It is looking like a good theory.

Today, the market was up slightly before Obama addressed a business leader's group. However, within an hour of him speaking, the market shifted to a 40 point loss. This was a nice turnaround for a market that is seeking it's legs. Once again, the trend continues.

Many economists wrote how the economy will fare better if Congress did nothing. Well, I am believing we all would be better off if this egotistical blowholes (and Obama is the biggest) would just shut the hell up. They have nothing good to say. Obama is talking down the economy like no President in history. And, do be a fool by believing the rhetoric that he is being realistic. Please. He is working on his renomination in 4 years.

Obama and the others in Congress prove themselves only to be interested in preserving their power. They have no interest in doing what is right for the present and future generations of Americans. Perhaps we need to instill capital punishment for our leaders. The world would be better off without them.

The Government Is The Problem

Yesterday I wrote how it was the decisions of FDR that prolonged the Great Depression. Before his idea of "stimulus" we suffered through two severe, but short, recessions. These two periods were survived without the government interfering.

Now, we see the passing of the biggest government spending bill in history. Today, the Congress shaved $100 billion off (like we are impressed) to have a spectacular $700+ billion bill. This is totally ridiculous.

We are in a economic situation that was caused by the government. Every aspect of this "crisis" sees the government's hand in it. The bank lending crisis was started by Congress mandating that banks loan to unqualified lower income people. This started the entire subprime bubble which burst a couple of years ago.

Freddie and Fannie are quasi-government entities. Over the past few years, banks were pressured into "investing" in these organizations which caused them to be left with huge losses on their books. At the same time, the Fed, Treasury, and SEC operated with no oversight. Basically, they were asleep at the wheel.

Now, we are to believe these same people can get us out of this. Barney Frank is still in Congress. The same is true for Christopher Dodd in the Senate. Barack Obama was a Senator while all this went down. So was John McCain. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid still occupy the same offices they did over the past few years. As you can see, most of the players are still the same.

The government is solving this existing "crisis" by creating another one. There is a thing called inflation which is created when the government incurs massive deficits. Another interesting twist is that the larger the deficits, the worse the inflation. Jimmy Carter experienced this during his administration. Presently, we are seeing $1 trillion worth of deficits authorized by Congress. That means we are going to feel the effects of hyperinflation over the next few years. Prices will rise so quickly when the economy turns that it will make people's head spin.

Who will the government (and the media) blame then? I am sure they will find someone. The truth is they will never own up to the fact that they created the entire situation. Government is not the solution, it is the problem. Unfortunately, we have a President who believes that government is the answer. To me, this says that we will have big problems in the future.

Welcome to anarchy 2009.

Politics As Usual

Obama claimed to bring "change you can believe in". That was a welcomed relief to those of us who are tired of a corrupt, inefficient government that we suffered through the last few decades (at a minimum). However, it turns out that he was lying when he said that. His actions denote that it is politics as usual.

First, we suffered through the stimulus debacle which turned into a major spending spree by one political party. Of course, those in charged accused Republicans of playing politics. Get real on this one. The Republicans barely have enough power to change the toilet paper in the men's room at this point. They are so disorganized that the Democrats ought to easily be able to get a few of them to convert on most any bill. Yet, the politically biased bill that Pelosi put forth couldn't do that. She showed her disinterest in leading and only cares about appeasing the lobbyists.

Now, we have the Obama administration trying to hijack control of the census. This is change since it something that never occurred. In the past, the census was under the jurisdiction of the Commerce Department. If Obama has his way, it will be controlled by Rahm Emanuel (read story here). It seems we cannot even believe in a fair census with the present corruption in Washington.

We are rapidly seeing our liberties stripped away from us. The Bush administration used 9/11 into scaring us into approving his corrupt policies. Obama is using the economic crisis in the same way. In the end, we the people are the ones who are screwed. Every action in this manner brings us to a time when there will be a backlash. The Revolution is coming. Be prepared.

The Ones Really In Control

America was established by the Founding Fathers as a country "by the people and for the people". Here we sit 200+ years later realizing that idea is dead. The United States of America is a country by the lobbyists and for the lobbyists. They are the ones who wield the power, not the people. The recent stimulus/spending package proves that.

According to reports on the newswires, there are enough votes to pass the bill in the Senate. The total amount is still be discussed but it is believed to be between $780-$820 billion. This is a considerable sum. However, according to pollsters like Rasmussen, the majority of Americans have reservations about this bill. Most do not believe that it will stimulate anything. Instead, it appears to be simply a massive spending project to appease the far left contributors.

Many are going to take exception at that last statement. Tough. It is the truth. Economists estimate there is somewhere between 9%-15% of stimulus in this package. The rest is pork. Nancy Pelosi wrote up a bill to appease her allies (lobbyists). Who is going to benefit? Liberal states that drove their budgets into the ground with their reckless spending and teachers unions camouflaged as education spending are prime candidates. Now, do't get me wrong. If the Republicans were in control it would be the NRA, pro-life groups, and the religious right. Either way, it screws the American people.

Once again, the government used a crisis to steamroll the people. This was what happened after 9/11. We were told it was for the sake of safety and in an effort to combat terrorism. Now, it is to prevent complete economic collapse. The truth is that neither situation was as dire as it was advertised. Things are tough but we will get through it. However, now we have another $800 billion debt to pay back.

One final note on this point: the Congressional Budget Office even said this was most a pork package, containing little stimulus. This is the accounting arm of the United States Congress which the politicians ignored. If they will not even listen to their own Budget Office, who will they listen to? The answer: LOBBYISTS.

$780 Billion

The "stimulus" package appears to pass the Senate.  We now have a price tag that is less than what passed the House.  However, it is something that will do nothing to stimulate the economy.  This is the viewpoint of most economists.  Instead, we have a massive spending bill which will do nothing but tie future generations to more debt.  Welcome to America.

I, for one, am happy this passed.  It shows how corrupt our government is.  Personally, I think everyone who voted for that House bill ought to be voted out of office in 2010.  They simply do not deserve to be in office since they do nothing to look after the interests of the American people.  Rather, they are there serving their lobbyists and giving paybacks to those who got them elected.

The bottom line is that the government once again is screwing the American people.  This is absolutely ridiculous.  Obama is showing himself to be a shameful partisan who is no different from the rest.  "Change you can believe in" is a total joke.  Obama is showing himself to be right out of the Nancy Pelosi communist model.  And, he proves that he has no backbone when it comes to standing up for the people.  This President is going to preside over one of the worst administrations in recent memory.  Mark my words, it will take us decades to fix what these dimwits are screwing up.

It was a mistake

As all of you know, I am not a fan of Nancy Pelosi. However, I distaste all the negative hatchet jobs against anyone that arent warranted. Especially when it comes to Madam Speaker since I believe their is so much to attack her for.

Here is a video circulating the Internet.




Here is a clue for all of you who want to promote this: IT WAS A MISTAKE!!!
