DEMS NOW SAYING FAILURE TO PASS PAYROLL TAX CUT WILL BE A TAX INCREASE, YET THE BUSH TAX RATE CUTS WOULD NOT BE AN INCREASE

The failure of the Congress to pass an extension of the payroll tax holiday is being touted by the Democrats as being a big tax increase for 160 million workers.Isn't that special? For the whole year of 2010, the Dems ,along with President Obama,told us that not extending the Bush tax cuts would not be an increase in taxes,but just merely going back to the rates before the Bush tax cuts took effect.But every other word coming out of their mouths is a tax increase would be the result of the failure to extend this tax credit.In reality,every time a tax credit is discontinued or a marginal rate decrease expires, it is a tax increase.In these hard economic times,every little bit of extra money that the worker can take home can make a difference.But in comparison to the Bush tax cuts, this is a small amount.Yet, we still hear from the Dems that this would be a big tax increase,but discontinuing the huge tax cuts the working American enjoyed  under Bush,would not be a tax increase, but just going back to the previous rates.

The Dems wanted to get rid of the Bush tax cuts,which were a very big decrease on most Americans,yet they want to continue the payroll tax credit, even though this is the only way Social Security is funded.This,all during the time we are being told that Social Security is in trouble.They tell us that the money for Social Security recipients is in a trust fund.The only thing in the trust fund is I.O.U.'s. That is right,no money,only pieces of paper.Oh, by the way ,we as a country are broke.We don't have the money to pay off the I.O.U.'s, unless we borrow more or print more money.We are already paying huge amounts of interest on the money we have borrowed.And as long as the Fed keeps printing more money,our dollar becomes worth less or maybe that should be worthless.If they keep this up, we are more likely than not , going to see hyperinflation. If you are not familiar with this term and what it means, then think Weimar Republic.

President Obama and the House minority leader,Nancy  Pelosi, have said for many weeks that the payroll tax credit should be extended for at least a year.The House passed a bill that did just that ,while also extending unemployment for another year, and fixing the doctor medicare payments for two years.Last Saturday the Senate passed a bill, but only extending the tax credit for two months.Then they went home.The house rightly rejected this, saying two months would only continue to create uncertainty among businesses and the employees.The Senate should have never gone home until this bill was passed ,one way or another.But you see,they had to get home for their vacations.We have heard the media and the Dems tell us that the House should pass the Senate bill and move on.That is not the way it works.If they can't agree, then they go to conference and work out the differences.Tell us why the Senate didn't pass the House bill.After all , they gave the Dems and Obama everything they wanted in the bill.

We are told that the bill should not have had the approval of the Keystone Pipeline in it, that the Republicans loaded up the bill with other provisions.Here's a thought.Pass the go ahead on the Keystone Pipeline, which would probably have an immediate impact on the price of oil and gasoline,not to mention it would help us get off foreign oil.I promise that if gasoline decreased by thirty,forty, or fifty cents,the worker would save a heck of a lot more than twenty dollars a week.

SENATOR HARRY REID ON SENATE FLOOR:NO MILLIONIARE JOB CREATORS

Senator Harry Reid, (Nevada), once again gave us another gem of information on the Senate floor yesterday.Reid stated that millionaires don't create a single job,that they are like unicorns,they don't exist.WOW!!I don't know if the Senator is ignorant or he is just plain stupid.When we have the Majority Leader of the Senate go to the floor and spout something as crazy as that was,we have to wonder what Nevada voters are thinking when they elect him to office term after term.It is no wonder that this country is in decline.With politicians like Reid,we don't need any enemies to try to destroy us, they will get the job done themselves.

Maybe Senator Reid has never heard of people like Rupert Murdoch,Arthur Blank and Bernard Marcus, Boone Pickens, Steve Jobs,Bill Gates,Fred Smith,and thousands of others.Why,even U.S. Congressmen and Senators create jobs, albeit with taxpayer money.

The question is whether Senator Reid is ignorant of the facts,deliberately lying,or if he needs to go to a nursing home.No matter which one you choose,we need for these people to go home for good.The sad reality is that some,if not many, will really believe this nonsense.

I knew that we were in bad shape as a country,but I never dreamed we would be led by such idiots.That may be harsh, but there is no nice way to frame this.One thing is for sure, as long as he is in D.C.,we can count on may more of these revelations.

SURPISE,SURPRISE CONGRESS PADS POCKETS ON LEGAL INSIDER TRADING!!

What a surprise to learn that Congress has lined their pockets with stock transactions that was completely legal to do. For many years,many Congressman and Senators have traded stocks on information that they have received from inside information during pending legislation or knowledge of companies which might fail.The Obama health care bill is just one prime example .During this time in 2009,the legislators were meeting in private behind closed doors, even though Obama said during his campaign that everything ,including drafting legislation would be held in public,to be televised on C-Span.During this time ,many parts of the bill being discussed allowed the Congressmen to trade on information that would affect many of the players in the health care bill.Such as,insurance companies,pharmaceutical companies,and health care companies.Even the ones who voted against this bill or parts of it made hundreds of thousands of dollars on information that nobody else knew.But wait,we are to told this is legal because they exempted themselves long ago.

We are constantly told by these politicians that they have sacrificed greatly by being a public servant.Maybe some of them could make more money in the private market, but many become the hated wealthy during their time in Congress.Not only that, but they make it off the taxpayers back,such as donations and lobbyists contributed to their campaigns.We can't get one e-mail or piece of mail without them asking for a donation.They are constantly begging for money.This comes on top of their salaries and benefits,which according to Peter Schweizer's book, Throw Them All Out,the rank and file Congress make an average of $285,000 a year,with committee heads making more. They also get around $1.3 million for staff and other outrageous expenses.If it is one thing that they should quit spouting to us ,it is that they are public servants.The truth is they suck off the taxpayers while getting special treatment that none of us get in the private sector.The fact is the private sector shouldn't get special treatment, nor should Congress.So stop with the public servant crap.

There are so many perks and favors the Congress enjoys,it would take us many days of research to dispose all of them.So all of the occupy wall streeters (OWS) should take their protests to Washington D.C.They say they are protesting big business because they control the Government.Maybe that is true to an extent,but the people who run our Government are the ones who accept the money and graft from these companies.So call your Senator and Congressman and let them know how you feel about it.If these politicians wouldn't submit to the bribes, the crony capitalism would stop.The buck stops with your legislators.They are the problem,not the people or businesses trying to influence legislation.If the Congress would get out of stifling regulation and leave the private sector alone, then capitalism would take care of itself.This is why this country is great or at least once was.

If the average worker wants to make a difference in the way Washington works, then they have to reach and effect the right people, and that is their legislators and the current administration.Pick up a copy of Peter Schweizer's book.

OBAMA SAYS "WE CAN'T WAIT" ON JOBS BILL

President Obama has announced his WE CAN'T WAIT PROGRAM as a way to implement his policies on how to get the economy growing again.What we have here is just more of the same that got us in this trouble to begin with.The Community Reinvestment Act , passed during jimmy Carter's administration, started us down the road of creating this housing bubble,which eventually helped cause the financial meltdown we experienced in 2009.Then the Clinton administration made some changes to the legislation which put more pressure on the banks to lend money to low income communities.

This Act also relaxed lending requirements of the banks and the customers by not having to prove their financial worth and taking their word on how much income they had coming in. People like Congressman Barney Frank,who was chairman of the House Financial Services, repeatedly supported Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,who made thousands of these sub-prime loans.On more than one occasion, Mr.Frank defended these two Government Sponsored Entities,dressing down regulators testifying before his committee ,that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac needed to be reeled in.Many other Democrats on the committee also chimed in saying that there was nothing wrong with the agencies and that the regulators only wanted to punish the poor.

So now Obama is bring back the bailout of the housing market, which will only lead to more taxpayer money being wasted.The only way that the housing sector will recover is to let the natural process of foreclosures take place.Yes, it will be painful,but the way we are addressing it now is only going to create a bigger bubble.

President Obama told us when he was first elected, that creating and saving jobs, was his main focus.Instead, he worked relentlessly on the Health Care Bill.Then when that passed,and millions of workers still unemployed, while adding more every week, he announced on national TV, that he was laser focused on creating jobs.First of all, the Government can't create jobs, but only the environment,such as relaxing regulations, and permanent tax rate cuts, not one time tax credits.

One thing that is certain, Obama is laser focused on saving one job and that is his.His campaign slogan while running for President in 2008 was Hope And Change The main change we need right now is the Office of President of The U.S.It can't come soon enough.

SENATOR HARRY REID TELLS US WHAT HE REALLY THINKS ABOUT JOB CREATION

As the majority leader of the Senate,Harry Reid,speaking from the Senate floor,told us exactly what the Jobs Bill was all about and who it targets.According to the Senator from Nevada,"it's very clear that private sector jobs are doing just fine. It's the public sector jobs where we've lost huge numbers, and that's what this legislation is all about." So it's their union friends that they are planning to take care,just as it was in the first stimulus bill,spending nearly $1 trillion.

According to U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics,the national unemployment rate is 9.1%,compared to the public sector rate of 4.7%. It looks like Reid has spilled the beans on the real purpose of this so called Jobs Bill.This is another example that the Dems can't really tell us what they support because there wouldn't be many people that would agree with their policies.Probably less than 20%. They have to lie to get re-elected. Then when they get in office, they just ramrod their policies and ideas through the Legislature and flip the voters off.

They spent our tax money bailing out some banks and GM.And in doing so, the Obama administration gave the majority of ownership of GM to the unions,thus actually putting the bondholders behind the unions. If you didn't know, the bondholders,which are secured creditors should have come first.

According to an article by Tom Gantert, the private sector has lost 6.3 million jobs since December 2007.The public sector lost 392,000 jobs during the same time period.The public sector has an estimated 22.3 million jobs according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The private sector are the ones that create real jobs, because they offer us goods and services,whereas the public sector doesn't produce anything.

Either Reid doesn't know what he's talking about, or he has given us the real agenda of the Democratic controlled Senate.I bet it is the latter. These people need to go .

Word of advice for all of the Occupy Wall Street protesters.When the Government gets most of the money from the wealthy,by taxes and fees, then what are you going to protest then,when there isn't anything left of this economy.Because if you don't realize it,the wealthy will soon call it quits and move all of their money and businesses offshore to another country.This will only leave what we call the middle class to take up the slack to pay all of your entitlements. So when you get rid of the money making private sector jobs, all we have left is Government and they don't have a very good track record of running things.

So give it another shot Senator Reid.Maybe you can explain these statements to all of dumb Southern redneck conservatives.Wait a minute!I think I understand.This is who you really are.

OBAMA CAMPAIGN FOR JOBS BILL CONTINUES WITH NEW BUS TOUR

Once again President Obama is taking his,or should I say our,new Canadian made buses on a three day tour across North Carolina and Virginia,campaigning for his tax bill disguised as a jobs bill.This time,he is vowing to propose pieces of the bill,instead of the complete bill.He is doing so because the Senate rejected his bill last week.He is spending his time and energy playing politics and class warfare.Obama himself has repeatedly said this is not a time to play politics,even though it has been almost three years since he was going to create millions of jobs with his great economic policies.

The President has proposed giving the states $35 billion to hire teachers,construction workers, and first responders.He doesn't remind voters that $150 billion was given to the states from the Stimulus Bill in 2009 for this very reason, but somehow didn't create these jobs.He also got the Congress to give another $26 billion in 2010 for this purpose.He's trying to widen the political divide between the people of this country with his demagoguery,not to just win the 2012 election,but to continue to have the availability and power to fundamentally change this country,as he said during the 2008 election.

Just as Bill Clinton's bill to give the states enough money to hire an additional 100,000 police,Obama fails to tell the crowds that this only good for one year also.After one year,they will disappear because the States are not in shape financially to keep them on the payroll.

I find it very perplexing what people think it will do for them when they take more money from the rich, just for Congress to waste it.What it will accomplish is to run Corporations to do business in other countries, just as they have been doing for years.Only this will speed up the process,to fundamentally transform this country.In turn, thousands of more jobs will be lost instead of any new ones being created.

Why did it take Obama almost three years to focus on job creation? He told us many times over the last 3 years that his administration would be laser focused on jobs.Instead he focused on more regulations,cap and trade,and the health care bill.He now goes across the country telling the people that this is the only thing that will save us,all the while it will continue to destroy it.

He is hitting hard at Wall Street types, even though he has gotten more money from Wall Street than any recent politician.Special deals and bailouts are and were given to big businesses instead of letting the market take care of it.If we had let them fail ,this economy would probably be back on the right course.

LIBERAL MEDIA COMPARING OCCUPY WALL STREET PROTESTS AS THE LEFT'S ANSWER TO TEA PARTY

News outlets,correspondents,entire networks,and news anchors continue to push the notion that the OCCUPY WALL STREET protests are the liberals answer to the Tea Party.Many are even saying are operate in the same fashion.Is that really the case?

First, the Tea Party was a grassroots movement against the government taking over more of our society,the unending spending,the class warfare,the insatiable desire for more taxes and fees,and the countless regulations being implemented every day,which destroys the greatest economic structure the world has ever known.The people,for the most part, at OCCUPY WALL STREET [OWS], are calling for the destruction of capitalism,increased government intervention,cradle to grave charity.They don't seem to understand that if our capitalist system is destroyed,the Government will run out of money and resources to take care of all their wants and needs.

Second, the Tea Party gatherings around the country were law abiding,respectful of contrarian beliefs,clean,and organized in a way that respected the property that they were using.The OWS crowd have been rude,down right unclean,don't respect local businesses,relieving themselves on the ground in public,taking over businesses bathrooms,stealing toilet paper,and having sex in plain sight.

We have been told for years,even decades, that the left,Democrats and Liberals were the only people who cared about the planet of being free from littering and abusing our environment.This has proved to be false many times over.Take for example, the 9-12 gathering in D.C. in September,2009,with at least 400,000 people,was left spotless. Compare that to the Obama Inauguration,the One Nation Rally,and the Jon Stewart Rally in D.C. One of the D.C. staff told the 9-12 people that the park was left the cleanest he had ever seen.Also,it has been reported that so far New York City has paid 3.2 million in overtime to police and other departments.These extras weren't necessary for the Tea Party rallies.

Third, the people protesting for the most part,can't tell reporters what it exactly is that they are protesting. The Tea Party had a few things on the agenda,which was less Government ,lower taxes, no more bailouts,and follow the Constitution. At least some of the OWS crowd has expressed their dissatisfaction with all of the bailouts.
Media Research Center interviewed some of the OWS protesters asking them what they thought of the Frank-Dodd bill.To a man, no one knew that it was the financial reform bill passed earlier,putting many regulations on our banks.Thus ,they are protesting Wall Street without knowing anything about the new regulations put on the very people they are protesting.

Fourth, we have media pundits ,such as MSNBC's Donny Deutsch,saying on the tube that what we need is something like Kent State in which 4 people were killed.What a statement!!Hows that civility that Obama called for after the shooting in Arizona working out .Haven't heard form the President or any Democrats whether or not this crossed the civility line or not.Don't look for it either.

As hard as the main stream media is trying to make these Occupy protesters like the Tea Party, the only people who will fall for that are the far left,lots of Democratic politicians, and the Woodstock like people who agree with the protesters.

Fifth, any money they are getting is coming from our Capitalistic economy,yet they accept it without resistance.They all have their I-Phones,I-Pads,I-pods, and laptop computers,all gadgets they would be without if it weren't for our free market system.I imagine some of them left their protest area to stand in line for the Apple 4GS I-Phone this morning.

Sixth,I'm sure many of them are college students.So, maybe they should take their concerns to the very universities they attend,as most ,if not all,have big endowment funds that are earning big returns from wall street investments, all the same time raising their tuition fess every year.Just saying!

As bad as the Liberal media wants to make this protest the same as the Tea Party,it will never fly with the majority of the people.This country is more conservative than Liberal, and unlike most Liberals ,the Conservatives are well informed and not ignorant of the facts.

WHY DOES THIS ADMINISRATION CONTINUE TO THROW DOWN THE GREEN RATHOLE?

The extreme positions that the Obama administration takes in funding "GREEN ENERGY" companies continues to befuddle the average citizen and taxpayer.We learned just a few weeks ago that over $500 million was given to a company called Solyndra. We also know that before the energy department gave away our tax money,many had warned that this was a bad investment,dating back to the Bush administration.They even received at least a billion dollars from private investors,including people who bundled money for Obama during his campaign.

When it was known that the company would fail, they even changed the rules that would have given the taxpayers first rights to any money left,instead giving it to private investors,who just happen to be big Obama supporters.What a coincidence!!This after the bond holders of GM were to get first pickings by law, but the Obama administration gave it to the unions first.

Now we find out that a company called Sunpower,received 1.2 billion in loans while owing $820 million,$20 million more than its market capitalization. According to Human Events, it traded at an all time of $133 in December of 2007.As of October 4Th, it was trading around $6.60 per share.Sound like this $1.2 billion will be gone soon,if not already.

The loan guarantee was to go to the California Valley Solar Ranch {CVSR}. According to the DOE, this project would create 350 construction jobs during the estimated two years to build this project.It would create a whopping 15 permanent jobs, which works out to a cool $80 million per job.What a deal!!But wait, they say that they would create an undetermined number of jobs building the panels, only these would be in Mexico.

This GREEN ENERGY PROGRAM is going to really help our already insurmountable debt and for what.Just a bunch of failing businesses,while the heads get tons of money.Talk about crony capitalism !

This administration harps constantly about any money given to oil companies even though they pay huge taxes.At least they are giving us a needed commodity,even though oil has gone u[p considerably the last two years, at a usable price.The so called green energy will come about when the private market finds ways to market it a reasonable price that the consumer will pay.In the mean time, lets drill for more oil and natural gas.We also have more coal than anyone in the world..Enough is Enough!!

OBAMA TO BYPASS CONGRESS ON HIS JOBS BILL:DO WE HAVE A PRESIDENT OR KING?

President Obama made the announcement that he has instructed some of his top people,including Valerie Jarrett,to scour the jobs bill and identify any part or parts that he can act administratively and bypass the Congress.This has to be done because his own party isn't particularly happy with the bill.They know it's a tax bill, not a jobs bill.

As a matter of fact, Senator Harry Reid had been saying for weeks that he wouldn't bring it up for a vote anytime soon because of other pressing matters.This as the President was criss-crossing the country saying "pass this bill, pass this bill now."

Last night the senate voted down the jobs bill with the help of a couple of Democrats,all the while Obama was blaming the Republicans for defeating the bill.The bill doesn't even have a sponsor in the House of Representatives,which appropriates the money for any such legislation.

One question to President Obama.Can we expect you to call out Reid and the other Dems who voted against your Jobs Bill, or you just playing politics?So far,it looks like you are playing politics.What a shock!! I remember Obama saying during his speech to the joint session of Congress,that it wasn't time to play politics with the Jobs Bill.Pass this just like it is and pass it now!!Then the Majority leader of the Senate, who is a Democrat last time I checked, refused to take it up and when he did he changed the part regarding whom to tax.

The President continues to pit Americans against each other,even though we heard all during his campaign that there would be no more partisan divides.He would bring us all together and sing Kumbaya. Actions, not words define the man.


We had almost $800 billion allocated and spent during the first stimulus and shovel ready jobs on our infrastructure were supposed to be a big part of it.Then when Obama was asked the question of why there weren't more shovel ready jobs created from the first stimulus,he responded, laughingly, that there weren't as many as we thought.Now, the majority of the next $447 billion,is to be spent on our infrastructure.Where did the first $800 billion go? Vice President Biden was supposed to make sure the money was spent right.What a person to put in charge of that.A man who has spent his whole adult life in politics spending our tax money, or should I say wasting our tax money.

The bottom line is that this bill will not create new long term jobs,just the opposite.It will kill new long term jobs by taxing the very people that create the jobs. They will refrain from doing so as long as their expenses go up and will even pass along the tax increases to the customer.That is you and me.

GOVERNMENT SHOULDN'T PICK WINNERS AND LOSERS

The Obama administration has the position that it is their job and duty to pick what businesses should make it in our free market economy.This comes from an administration void of people who have ever run a business or made out a payroll check.Gather up all of the educated economists in the country and it would be fortunate if we found a few who have operated or managed a business.

In the first place,if the Government had the power to pick winners and losers,they would pick them based on their ideologies, and not based on pure economics.Think SOYLANDRA!! They only received over $500 million and filed for bankruptcy less than 2 years later.The President has stated that we have to make bets, and that some of them are bad bets.Fine and dandy, but don't use the taxpayers money to be flushed down the toilet.

President Obama also stated that we can see things differently after the fact.In other words,hindsight is 20/20 vision.Not so fast.The President was repeatedly told by people in is own administration that this wasn't a good deal.Yet, he and the energy department went ahead with the guaranteed loan.

On Friday September 30Th, the energy department sent out more than $4 billion to other "green job" companies .They did so because it was the last day that they could do so without going through the whole process of getting the money allocated to do so. Congressman Darrell Issa,{R.,Ca.}, has asked the question what new information the energy department had to make these loans viable ,compared to what they had before.

The bottom line is that the Government or any public office can't pick winners and losers in a free capitalist Enterprise.Oh sure, they might get lucky and get 1 or 2 right, but it is very doubtful.Anything the Government runs is usually full of red tape, fraud ,and waste, and would not make it in the free market standing on its on.

This American Jobs Act is just another $500 billion of wasteful spending.What should have happened when this recession started,was to let the companies,banks and any other business, either make it on its own or file bankruptcy.As a result,we would be much farther along on a recovery. Instead, we have just prolonged the inevitable and make this recession longer and more far reaching than it should have been.

ELIZABETH WARREN ESSENTIALLY SAYS IT TAKES A GOVERNMENT TO CREATE AND RUN A BUSINESS

According to Elizabeth Warren's latest wild rage dealing with the class warfare stance that President Obama has taken the last few weeks, there is no such thing as class warfare.She basically stated that it takes a Government to run a business.Maybe she meant to say that it takes a Government to RUIN a business.All of the rules and regulations that a business has to follow, small or large,do nothing but hinder that business from being all that it could be.

Most,if not all of the people who have their own business,can't keep up with all of the new regulations that are created every day.As a matter of fact,most of our Congressmen and Senators don't understand or know much about all of the new regulations they create.The Dodd-Frank bill will have over 5000 pages of regulations that the job creators will have to know,understand, and implement to be in compliance with the Government.The new regulations passed just this year will costs business on the average $161,000 per year. How do you think that will affect the price of the goods and services that these businesses charge the customer?

The Government doesn't create jobs or produce anything,except jobs that are paid for by the taxpayer.In fact, we have thousands of Government jobs and entire departments that need to be axed.

Have you ever created a business,hired employees,made a payroll Mrs.Warren? I see where you ran some type of law practice out of your home for a while,but then quit to get on the Government payroll.Why did you do that? Please don't give me the standard answer of politicians that you wanted to go in public service,as I believe that public service means you are doing something for the people for nothing, not for high salaries, benefits, and pensions, all taken from the taxpayer.The people I know that own their business can't force someone to come in and pay for that service or product, as it should be.They have to offer something that the customer wants, all the same time giving good service and a good product with a competitive price or they want last.That is unless they are too big to fail,i.e. General Motors,
Chrysler, AIG, and many banks.

I have an idea Mrs.Warren.Why don't you gather up all of your left wing friends such as Hollywood types,Warren Buffet, all the Liberal politicians,Wall Street tycoons,and the Union heads and make a pledge that you will each give struggling families that make less than $30,000 at least $20,000 each leaving you and your cronies a total of $50,000 to live on.You say what a stupid idea.Not really.After all, that way you would make certain that they would be taken care of with little waste and we wouldn't need all of these bureaucracies.

About those highways that you talk about, we as taxpayers, pay for those too.You see,the only two ways Government gets money is take it in the form of taxes and fees or print it, which makes the money we make worth that much less.

Bottom line,the Government doesn't do anything productive to creating jobs,unless they would get out of the way.As for all of those students that you are teaching,it takes years,if at all, to purge that radical leftist thinking from their minds and believe in themselves to be able to make their way in life.

OBAMA'S JOB BILL:JUST ANOTHER INFOMERCIAL?

We got Obama's so called job bill on national TV last Thursday,September 15th. It took a little over thirty minutes of airtime, just about the same length of those late night and cable infomercials. I sure most of you,if not everyone,has seen these highly annoying product pitches.So was this speech just another so called infomercial to a joint session of Congress and to the nation? I would assume that many of the people were watching the NFL pregame show on NBC.

If you have seen these infomercials, then you would probably recognize the name of the late Billy Mays.He was the king of infomercials and was immediately recognized by the sound of his voice.During the thirty minutes of marketing,he would use certain catch phrases over and over.For some reason or other,something would catch your eye, so you would listen to learn about the product.But most of the time,if you're like me, you just switched to another channel,mostly because you knew the product was not something that you wanted to shell out any money on,mainly because it wouldn't do what he said it would do.

Obama's catch phrase was PASS THIS BILL NOW which he mentioned seventeen times during the infomercial.This was not a jobs bill,but another speech consisting of more taxes and spending.He told us that this would cost us about 447 billion dollars and that he would announce the following Monday how it would be paid for.

As you may know,most of these products are offered at the low price of $19.95.But wait,they would double the offer for the same low price of $19.95.All you had to do was pay a separate process and handling fee,which was usually more than the product itself.

I could just hear President Obama say,the first one is around 787 billion,but you can now get another one for only process and handling, which is the low,low price of 447 billion. Pass this bill now, because there is only a few minutes left to act.Of course, the bill hasn't been submitted to Congress yet.PASS THIS BILL!!ONLY THIRTY SECONDS LEFT!!

Billy Mays would have been proud .WE weren't!!!

If The Government Is Making Real Spending Cuts,Why Are We Increasing The Debt Limit By 2.4 Billion?

We have been told that the debt limit bill will reduce spending by 2.1 trillion over the next ten years.Even President Obama told us that passing this bill will not mean more new spending,but just enabling us to pay our bills.So if we're not spending more, then why do we need to increase the debt limit?More important, if we keep going over the debt limit, then why do we have a limit in the first place?Some say because we need it for emergency situations. The Democrat led Congress during 2009 and 2010 authorized many new spending bills because of emergencies. One such emergency was the 2010 Census.For as long as we have been taking the Census,we have known that it comes every 10 years,So why didn't they appropriate that money in the budget.The answer is obvious--they spend too much.

Once again, the Republicans have succumbed to the Democrats because they are afraid of the media.They should know by now that no matter what they do that the media will spin and lie to the American people.Get over it.We now have the Internet and Fox News to get our message out. How do you think the Republicans won in landslide victory in the 2010 elections?

The real story is that we are going to add 10 trillion to the debt in ten years. You ask, I thought we passed this bill to reduce the debt. This is the result of Government accounting,of which Enron has nothing on the way the Government does its math. But we've been told that we will cut the debt by 2.1 trillion. The truth is they operate off a baseline which is automatically raised almost 8% every year which would result in adding 10 trillion to our debt in 10 years.So they tell us that we will cut our debt a little over 2 trillion, but in reality, we are adding over 7 trillion.

Any of you who have run a business, have you ever had to cut back on expenses to pay the bills?I would imagine anyone who has run a small business has had to do this at least once in the lifetime of that business. Those of us who have,don't have the luxury of budgeting 10% more in spending and then cutting it 5% and say we are spending 5% less than we did last year.

To be fair,some the Congressmen are saying we will reduce the budget by 2.1 trillion over 10 years,while others say we are cutting spending by that much.They cannot tell the truth because they know that the people who care about this will voice their disapproval, and they may lose their jobs next election.The ones who are saying we are reducing the spending by that amount are technically telling the truth, while the ones who are using the term cut are definitely lying or they don't know what they are talking about,which is a high probability.

Obama spoke today after the measure was passed in the Senate.He stated that we need to raise taxes for a shared sacrifice.He also threw out the desire for the us to advance another stimulus to create more jobs.The Government can't create jobs by spending our money,only by relaxing regulations, taxes, and fees.

People need to call their Congressman and Senators and tell them that this country can't keep going down this path.We have to elect more people like the freshmen Congressman and senators that were elected in 2010. If this President is reelected in 2012,then we will fall as a once great country.He must be defeated so he and his minions can't do any further harm to this country.

Democrat Senate Not Doing Job By Not Submitting Budget

It has been over 800 days since the Senate has submitted a budget and yet they continue to blast the Republicans for not voting to raise the debt ceiling.The plain reality is that this is mandated by law and they are not doing the job for which they are paid for.There is only one reason that they have failed to submit a budget--pure politics.That is they don't want to have to vote on reducing the budget because of their base wouldn't like it at all.

They play games with the budget anyway.Every year the line items are increased a certain amount automatically.Then when the Republicans offer an amendment to reduce the increase ,say from 10% to 5%,they scream that the Republicans are cutting the budget when in reality they just want to decrease the amount of increase.The Dems get all of the free time to demagogue the issue from the complying main stream media.

So anytime you hear this, look it up and tell your liberal friends the truth.The Democratic Senate is playing games with the budget and if we continue to let them do this, this country will go under because of all the debt.We are reaching a point of no return.Call your congressman and senators and ask them why they play this game.
