Federal Deficit a tale of two stories
You know, I was listening to our president the other day and it was unbelievable the words that were coming out of his mouth. He was saying that in order to get our economy back on track we need to reduce the Federal Deficit...you got to be kidding me, right? We are spending trillions on this health care, billions on bailouts, we are planning more millions to preserve our planet, how in the world does he think he can continue along this yellowbrick road of spend spend spend and not ruin the economy? And furthermore he says we can do all of this without raising the average Joe's taxes. My father always taught me if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. I just don't get it, this slick talking son of a gun ( whoops I shouln't say guns around those anti gun advocates) says everything the people want to hear, and then does what his Liberal cronies want to do, to hell with the majority. If the people don't remember all these un truths come November, then we deserve all we get.

Yeah I am not sure how you spend more to bring down your debt. This must be some of that new math. Taxes will go up and that will further hurt the economy.
ReplyDeleteGas Man you are dead on again.
Retribution is less than 1 year away!
ReplyDeleteTake a look at this and just remember elections in November 2010.
1.U.S. House & Senate have voted themselves $4,700 and $5,300 raises.
2.They voted to NOT give you a S.S. Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
3.Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years
4.You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/yr.
5.Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
6.Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000
7.Do you feel SCREWED?
8.Will they have your cost of drugs - doctor fees - local taxes - food, etc., decrease?
9.NO WAY.
Congress received a raise and has better health and retirement benefits than you or I.
•Why should they care about you?
•You never did anything about it in the past.
•You obviously are too stupid or don't care.
•Do you really think that Nancy, Harry, Chris, Charlie, Barnie, et al, care about you?
Send the message to these individuals --- "YOU'RE FIRED!"
In 2010 you will have a chance to get rid of the sitting Congress: up to 1/3 of the Senate and 100% of the House!
Make sure you're still mad in November 2010 and remind their replacements not to screw-up.
It is ok to forward this to your sphere of influence if you are finally tired of the abuse. Maybe it's time for Amendment 28 to the Constitution..
28th Amendment will be as follows:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .."
Let's get this passed around, folks - these people in Washington have brought this upon themselves! It's time for retribution. Let's take back America ...
This letter below was in the TD this past Monday.
ReplyDeleteIt gives us ample reason to ask who, what, where,
when, why, and especially HOW the change will come
and more about the person advocating the change.
Beware Charismatic Men Who Preach 'Change'
Editor, Times-Dispatch: {Monday 7 July 2008}
Each year I get to celebrate Independence Day twice. On June 30 I celebrate my independence day and on July 4, I celebrate America's. This year is special, because it marks the 40th anniversary of my independence.
On June 30, 1968, I escaped Communist Cuba and a few months later I was in the United States to stay. That I happened to arrive in Richmond on Thanksgiving Day is just part of the story, but I digress.
I've thought a lot about the anniversary this year. The election-year rhetoric has made me think a lot about Cuba and what transpired there. In the late 1950s, most Cubans thought Cuba needed a change, and they were right. So when a young leader came along, every Cuban was at least receptive.
When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. When he said he would bring justice and equality to all, everyone said "Praise the Lord." And when the young leader said, "I will be for change and I'll bring you change," everyone yelled, "Viva Fidel!"
But nobody asked about the change, so by the time the executioner's guns went silent the people's guns had been taken away. By the time everyone was equal, they were equally poor, hungry, and oppressed. By the time everyone received their free education it was worth nothing. By the time the press noticed, it was too late, because they were now working for him. By the time the change was finally implemented Cuba had been knocked down a couple of notches to Third-World status. By the time the change was over more than a million people had taken to boats, rafts, and inner tubes. You can call those who made it ashore anywhere else in the world the most fortunate Cubans. And now I'm back to the beginning of my story.
Luckily, we would never fall in America for a young leader who promised change without asking, what change? How will you carry it out? What will it cost America?
Would we?
