Did You Know?

That the Obama health plan legislation will exempt Congressional members and Federal employees? Seems to me what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
That Congressional democrats are pushing for quick adoption for the legislation? So that you and others will not have time to understand the complexities of it before it is enacted?
It is reported that last night Mr. Obama said that he will allow you to keep your doctor. Who the hell does he think he is? The Constitution does not give the executive branch the power to limit my choices of personal service providers and then the right to grant exceptions. Will he also grant me the right to choose my baker and candlestick maker? The Constitution is not a living document except to the extent of amendments passed by Congress and the states. It cannot be amended by executive branch decrees, by court decisions or by Congress (without the approval of the states).
Stand up for your rights people. This president and congress are taking them away one by one.

Stimulus Impact on Jobs

Click on the title above to find out how many jobs the stimulus program has saved.

Let's look at the Great Depression which is being compared to this recession. President Roosevelt and Congress enacted a massive spending program for public works projects in 1932. By 1940 the unemployment rate was 15%, down from 22% in late 1934 but still higher than the 13% it was in 1932. The mass media wants you to believe that the New Deal got us out of the depression. It is a myth. It is also not entirely true that World War II got us out of the depression. Sure, unemployment dropped well below 5% during the war but a great part of that drop was the removal of hundreds of thousands from the employment rolls - they joined the military. It is a complex issue but most economists understand that the Great Depression was ended by the economic boom that occurred after the war. The recession we are in today is better compared to the one we suffered in the 1970's.

Ask yourself why your government is spending your grandchildren's future. The only answer I can come up with is to promote some great socialist manifesto that history has shown doesn't work. And, why is your government trying to convince you that health care (actually, lack of health insurance) is the next biggest problem that the country faces? Another socialist manifesto. Where is your government when it comes to Social Security? Nowhere to be seen.

This is the Vice President You Wanted

For those of you who voted for the Obama/Biden ticket and spent the campaign dishing Palin, are you now sure that the VP you elected is the right person to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency?

Earlier this week Mr. Biden commented that the new tunnel linking New Jersey with Manhattan would be a benefit for automobile traffic. Only problem is that the tunnel is only for trains. Gosh, I knew that and I am sure I don't read as many newspapers as Biden. And, why would a Democrat be happy about bringing more automobiles into New York City? One would think that liberals would favor mass transit. Perhaps he doesn't understand his political philosophy.

Also earlier this week Mr. Biden told a group of law enforcement officials that the Supreme Court nominee "has your back." Does he really believe that Sotomayor will care less about civil liberties and do whatever law enforcement wants? This is another major departure from his political philosophy. By the way, this comment was not reported in the mainstream media.

When you vote for charisma over competency, you may get unintended consequences.
