It has been awhile since I have sat down and expressed my views. When I first started to blog before Barack Obama was corruptly elected to office. (Remember he is from Chicago and that is how Democratic politicians are elected to office) he hadn’t started the destruction of the United States that we are witnessing today. We now know what he meant by “CHANGE.” “CHANGE” means destruction if the United States as we have know it for 200 years. The one thing that Barack Obama has done very effectively is resurrect racism in this country. Ever since the day he took office that topic is in the news.
It finally comes down to this: “If you disagree with Barack Obama and his policies you are a racist and you hate Afro-Americans.” This is the most destructive chain of thought to evolve out of the Barack Obama Presidency. Is this Barack’s Problem? Of course not. But wait, or is it? If it is not his problem why is he not calling out the people like Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and a host of other Barack Obama supporters to tell them that it is wrong to make the racial comment above. Maybe Barack Obama is not not responsible for the racial comments, however he has the position to make the statement “If you disagree with Barack Obama and his policies you are a racist and you hate Afro-Americans.” socially unacceptable. But his decision not to speak out against this statement means that he agrees with that statement. This making him a racially motivated person.
This is what our country has been reduced to. Is civil war a possibility? I doubt it very highly. Will our country become more and more divided? That is a guarantee that you can take to the mountain top. Barack Obama has shown in the last few days how unqualified he is to be President of the United States when it comes to foreign policy and diplomacy. He has no idea of how to handle the military when it comes to overseas commitment. At the end of the day we are in a religious war in the middle east and those last for hundreds of years. The choice is to keep fighting or surrender to the enemies. Only two choices.
As the emotional and financial stability of our nation crumbles, the Democratic Party has only three agendas:
1. Raise taxes
2. Make the top 5% of high income people pay for the rest of the country.
3. Provide the country with a huge amount of free, low cost, poor quality entitlement programs.
I am thoroughly disgusted in AARP’s decision to support Barack Obama’s Marxist Socialist Government Administered Health Care Program. Thank you AARP for throwing seniors under the bus to satisfy the wishes of a very selfish, morally damaged Democratic party. You are supposed to support us seniors and prevent organizations from taking advantage of us. The mere fact that Barack Obama wants to cut back on medicare to pay for this program is just wrong. Basically he will shift healthcare benefits from the elderly to much younger people that can still monetarily contribute to his healthcare train wreck. While older people that are retired, that are not working and will not contribute to the coffers of Barackos’ plan will then be denied healthcare in their later years. This is so wrong on so many levels it is disgusting. I have no idea how much money AARP gave to Barack Obama but if it was more than $1.00 it was a total waste of AARP’s members money. Being originally from Chicago, I am very familiar with corrupt Democratic “Pay to Play” politics. If AARP is involved with “Pay to Play” in the Obama administration, it will surface one day. I’ll be expecting a new press release with the official position of the AARP to be voting against the Barack Obama Government Administered Healthcare Train Wreck.
P.S. I am not part of the Conservative “Mob.”

I’d like to make a correction that came from a comment from GDN. He/she pointed out that Mr. Novelli was replaced by a Mr. Barry Rand who supported Barack Obama with the maximum political donation of $4600.00 with a total of $15,900 total to the DNC since since 1995. Here is the source of that information.
As California’s Economy Collapses, This presents a preview of what will happen in other states and eventually in the Federal Government if Barack Obama’s out of control spending does not stop.
As you have been reading, California is on the brink of financial collapse. The Democrats are more concerned in giving away social benefits than making California business friendly, opening up businesses, and creating jobs. The greater population will not need free or reduced government, social benefits if new businesses are created, existing businesses are kept from closing, and current businesses are allowed to expand with new job creations. Not only will people not need government social benefits, the tax revenues will dramatically increase with the decrease in unemployment.
Lack of jobs, Businesses forced to leave the state because of strict EPA rules and regulations, enormous income, corporate, sales, and DMV Taxes are just creating a business vacuum in this state. So now Measure R kicks in today 7/1/09. This couldn’t have come at a worse time. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has tried time and time again to stop the runaway businesses, but he is a good Republican Governor that is being made to look bad by incompetent, inept, disconnected Democrats that are running this state into the ground by spending money that does not exist. Wow does this sound familiar? Well they say. “As California goes so does the rest of the nation. There is only one difference. The State of California Can’t Print Worthless Money Like Washington DC Can !!!!
California’s desperation along with other states are willing to destroy on line or “E-commerce” businesses by requiring Amazon and other E-Commerce businesses to collect state sales tax on items sold by California companies that are shipped outside of the state of California. This is an enormous expense and a huge burden to companies like Amazon.com, Barns and Noble etc. Again further eroding the business climate in the State of California.
“Officials for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority said that the worst recession since World War II would probably reduce the revenue collected under Measure R from about $40 billion to roughly $38.2 billion during the next 30 years.”
So this is saying that Los Angeles County is stuck with this looser tax from “Measure R” that the Democrats sold to the public for 30 years. If you are not from California then I’ll explain how this works.
The people in California do not like to have taxes forced on us so we get to vote on whether we pay taxes on certain projects or not. I voted against Measure R because it would be money wasted as usual. Los Angles does need light rail improvements and expansions to reduce freeway traffic. However if the light rail project becomes a pork barrel project and only goes to the areas in Los Angeles County where the politicians want it to go rather than where it NEEDS to go, it will be a complete waste of money.
Next item is that the County of Los Angeles is also in poor economic state. I can’t prove this fact to be true, but I would speculate that this last tax increase will end up in the “General Fund” and will not be applied to transportation projects for some years to come until the economy improves.
Yes, there are some very good intentions in Measure R. Let’s face it auto/truck traffic is horrible in Los Angeles and everyone wants it to improve. But will people use it enough to pay for it?
My point here is that the Democrats have just destroyed the economy here in Los Angeles and California. People are loosing jobs, businesses are closing. People with money are leaving the state to move to states that have no income tax like Nevada.
The state of California has reached a point of no return. The State of California has a budget deficit of 24.3 billion dollars. These are the points of no return:
1. The Democrats are forcing businesses to close with high sales, income and businesses taxes. This problem is exacerbated by heavy EPA rules and regulations to even open a business here in California.
2. As jobs are lost, the tax base shrinks as there are less people to pay sales tax (people cut back on buying things), Income tax withholding from checks decreases, people drive less paying less in local gasoline taxes.
3. The democrats think the only way to balance the budget is by punishing the people that are still lucky enough to have jobs with even more taxes across the board. The budget will never be balanced with this approach.
4. The Democrats have created a “State of Entitlement.” A state where people can receive public assistace for everything from free education, section 8 housing (http://www.hud.gov/local/index.cfm?state=ca&topic=renting) to free health care at County Hospitals.
5. California has one of if not the largest population of undocumented immigrants from all over the world. By law these people are not allowed to get Social Security Numbers so they are usually paid in cash and pay no income taxes at all. If they do pay income taxes it is usually with a fraudulent Social Security number.
6. The EPA requirements for everything from Exhaust Emissions, handling of industrial chemicals to building material content have a crippling effect on profitability, growth, employee hiring and just keeping the business doors open. I am concerned about the environment just like anyone else, but the government has to much control over these laws that are overkill.
7. Finally the fact that there are just to many people in this state is the major contribution to air, water and ground pollution.
So what can be done?
1. The state has to become 100% more business friendly.
2. Reduce Income taxes so people will have money to go out and spend and build the economy.
3. Reduce Corporate taxes and make it profitable to open and run a business in the state of California.
4. Reduce (not eliminate) the number of “Entitlement Programs.” These are free or low cost programs for people that do not have the incentive to get a job (any job.)
5. Decrease education fees in public colleges so more people can attend thus increasing the cash flow for maintaining the education venues. Administer some kind of tax reward or benefit to new graduates for the first 2 years as they start in their new careers.
6. This is the tough one. Make sure that undocumented immigrants from all over the world not just Mexico are not eligible for any state benefits including non emergency medical care, education, welfare, and child welfare.
7. Very, very heavy fines for employers that hire undocumented immigrants.
8. A minimum of a 10 year corporate tax incentive for any company that has been in existence more than 5 years in another state or country to move to or open another facility in California. Why 10 years? It is an incentive for the companies to stay in California and create jobs here.
9. There has to be legislation that will limit the power of the SEIU (http://www.seiu.org/splash/) I believe in good wages for talented people. But this Union is very corrupt and rewards incompetent people with high wages. Originally being from Chicago, I grew up with corrupt Democratic “Pay to Play.” The SEIU payed Barack Obama $60.7 Million dollars to play. This is a common corrupt Union/Politician relationship.
10. This is the most important of all of these ideas. Create a minimal corporate tax bracket for companies with 100 or less employees. We all know that the most important element in any successful economy is “Small Business.”
The only way this will ever happen is if the Democrats are voted out of office and the State of California is run by Republicans and Libertarians. Both of these parties understand the importance of small business.
As I have said before time and time again. As long as the Democrats can keep people uneducated, unemployed, poor and desperate they will always have a voter base.
Today is the saddest day in the history of the United States. Again Barack Obama has driven yet another nail in the coffin containing manufacturing in the United States. Cap and Tax will artificially and dramatically drive up the cost of energy in the United States. This is yet another artificial manipulation of the free market as we know it. I have been writing about Bill Clinton’s 1997 expansion of Jimmy Carter’s 1977 Community Reinvestment Act. When Bill Clinton mandated this, it artificially infused millions of unqualified home owners into the home buying market. You can see today what that did to our economy.
Barack Obama’s Cap and Tax will artificially affect the supply and demand of energy, energy prices, taxes and the newly created “Energy Credits.”
Let’s face it. There are some manufacturing processes that require a lot of electricity, less than green chemical ingredients, and will use more “Energy Credits” than allocated to that company. The amount of ”Energy Credits” that some politician that does not have a degree in chemistry or an MBA will determine that company will have.
So what happens here?’
Well the very first thing that comes to mind is this video of Barack Obama.
OK so now that this CAP and TAX has passed the house but not the senate. How will this affect the coal industry and the coal mines? Well I wrote about this topic on November 3, 2008.
This bill is so convoluted and complicated it is almost incomprehensible by the average home or business owner.
Also reading this it will require a huge amount of federal employees to enforce the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 H.R. 2454. Just a huge waste of tax payer dollars that will benefit the politicians way more than either the environment or the owners of businesses, residential houses, or factories.
OK so let’s all read this and see if you can make an “INTELLIGENT” decision on passing this tax assuming you know all the fact, figures, demographics of impact, caluculations of real results in say two years.
Please search for American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 H.R. 2454.EH in the Library of Congress Thomas
SEC. 204. BUILDING ENERGY PERFORMANCE LABELING PROGRAM. (Sec 204 (C) (3) (B) Residential Databases
(B) RESIDENTIAL DATABASES- The Administrator, in consultation with the Energy Information Administration and the Secretary of Energy, shall support improvements to the Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) as authorized by section 205(k) of the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C. 7135(k)), or such other residential energy performance databases as the Administrator considers appropriate, to aid the development of achieved performance measurement protocols for residential building energy use for at least 90 percent of the residential market within 5 years after the date of enactment of this Act.
So what is this? Well it is an invasion of privacy. In a nut shell you will have to have your home inspected, probed, prodded and exposed to see if it meets Resnet specifications within 5 years of this act being passed.
There are three things I cannot determine here.
1. Is there is going to be a fine or legal proceedings if you do not get your house inspected?
2. Will you have to have your house inspected and brought up to RESNET certification before it is sold?
3. Will there be an “Energy Tax, Fine, or Penalty” imposed until the house in question is upgraded to meet either additional federal standards that have not been written yet or to RESNET specifications?
It is obvious by these AOL polls that the majority of people do not want this bill to pass.

New AOL Poll 7-10-09 Cap and Tax is still not liked by the public.
Update to the AOL 7/10/09 Poll
Here is an update to an AOL Poll from 6/26/09 It still looks like people do not want a Cap and Tax Law. It appears that the Democratic party is not carrying out the will of the people. Rather the Democrats are executing their own agenda regardless of what the people want that voted for them in the first place.
It becomes very obvious that even with this small sample that the public has no desire to have this really bad legislation forced down their throats. In future days I will update this with new results of more votersof this poll until it drops off.
When the public talked about George Bush Jr being out of touch with the public, his lack of connection is paled by the disconnect between the people of this country and the socialist government that is running the country now. It would appear that the only people that want the “CAP AND TAX” legislation passed are Al Gore, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosie, Barney Franks, Harry Reid, Rep. Henry A. Waxman, Rep. Edward J. Markey et al. So this boils down to “CAP AND TAX” legislation that is a personal mission by the formentioned people and is not “What the people of the United States want”
To me when a government decides what is best for the citizens of the United Sates is a not a government, it is a
So lets look at all the things that this will affect. Basically any industry that uses electricity, coal or fossil fuel such as gasoline, diesel, or natural gas. Hmm it seems that every company and citizen will be affected by this “CAP AND TAX” legislation. It would appear that H. R. 2454 will create financial chaos in this country.
One of the things that it will create are “Energy Credits.” The question is who will control, disperse and manage the “Evergy Credits”?
1. Will it be Wall Street? Will “Energy Credits” be a commodity that is bought and sold on the commodities market?
This could be problematic as we have seen with Crude Oil and the buying and selling of Crude Oil futures by speculative investors based on Supply and Demand. This could have a significant impact on the cost of running a business and the everyday lives of US citizens.
2, Will it be a huge socialist government bureaucracy that will practice “Pay to Play” tactics to control “Energy Credits” by legal taxes and illegal political contributions. We all know how this game is played. The more money you put in the socialist government coffers, the more “Extra” “Energy Credits” you are allowed for your business or special interest group like for example the UAW for American and American automobile manufacturers only.
The truth is that no one on the face of the earth can guess how much more this is going to cost the tax payer, business owner or anyone else in this country.
Yesterday I took a little drive and I ended up in Santa Paula, CA I parked my car, and began to look around at the demographics of what I saw on the street. This town is predominately Hispanic that votes for the socialist democrats based on the promise of Amnesty and the growth of the Farm Workers Union. In general these people are of low income and are having a tough time paying daily bills. If ”CAP and TAX” passes these are the people that will be affected the most with increased costs on electricity, food and gasoline for their cars to get to and from work. This may be exacerbated by job loss when companies shutter their doors as cost of doing business forces the owners to either shut down and move their businesses off shore. In the case of the farmers, instead of growing food they may turn to importing food instead.
As for the petroleum industry, they hands are tied as they are now and will not be allowed to drill for more crude oil as this will, in the eyes of the democrats, “Contribute to Global Warming.” So this industry may run into problems as they will not be able to afford to pay for “Energy Credits” and pass the costs down to the consumer.
Remember petroleum is not just about heating oil (yet another discussion on the effects of H. R. 2454 on the economy), gasoline, diesel fuel (trucking and rail industry), and Jet A fuel (Airlines) it is about plastics (Did you think about that?) also. These are all things that will be sharply affected by H. R. 2454. Do you now see how damaging this “CAP and TAX” bill will be?
Santa Paula, California has two basic industries: Farming agriculture and petroleum.
Farming uses a lot of fossil fuel for trucks, tractors and farming equipment in general. My next thought was that solar, electric or wind power can not be used for the aforementioned vehicles. Battery powered electric trucks, tractors, cultivators, generators and irrigation pumps. How can you possibly make this green? OK maybe Natural Compressed Gas (NCG) but it is way more dangerous and difficult to transport as it always has to me in high pressure tanks.
Farming also uses a lot of electricity in packing and processing. Lot’s of refrigeration for freshness and freezing foods.
So what happens to food prices if these farming and food processing companies exceed their “Energy Caps”?
These companies will have to buy addition energy credits if the processing plants do not become solar or wind powered.
Solution? Nuclear powered food packing plants. Hmm. Now that sounds safe.
Now let’s look at petroleum.
The argument for “CAP and TAX” is to create new jobs and eliminate out dependance on foreign oil.
So if petroleum is a bad thing because of carbon pollution and the utopian goal is to eliminate it all together then what happens to the petroleum industry in Santa Paula. CA? How many jobs will be lost because the Dictatorship of the Proletariat deemed that the petroleum industry was bad for the earth?
So once the windmills are built and the solar panel farms are built. Just how many jobs will there be to maintain and support these two energy sources? I bet this country losses more “Non-Green Jobs” compared to the “Green Jobs that will replace the “Non-Green” jobs.
So what does that mean for just this one town of Santa Paula, CA?
One would guess there will be a lot less petroleum jobs in the Santa Paula area this further destroying the economy in this area.
What about farming and agriculture? It may be to expensive for these farms to stay open because of the cost of energy and subsequent taxes that are imposed. This of course will lead to further job loss in the United States.
Where will we get our farm food? It is looking like now the US may loose out dependency on foreign out but it may dramatically increase for foreign food.
I saw a clip from C-Span that I cannot find yet. When I do I will post it.
The clip was Nancy Pelosie just bantering while selling the “CAP and TAX” bill in congress. She said something to the effect of “Basically this bill is about Jobs, Jobs, Jobs.”
What she failed to say was Job’s for Americans. She is right. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs for foreign countries as businesses leave this country if this H.R 2454 AKA the “CAP AND TAX” bill passes the Senate.
Please call, email or write to your senator and tell him or her not to pass this socially destructive H. R. 2454
The events that are unfolding in California today (5/23/09) are unprecedented and will affect every state in The United States of America. The people have spoken and they have said “NO MORE NEW TAXES” A catalyst for a perfect storm on Tea Party Day July 4th, 2009.
What has transpired over the years in California that I have been in here (1980) is nothing less than tragic.
I moved to a state that was relatively easy to get a job if you really wanted one. If you didn’t want to work and wanted to be on welfare it was a lot more difficult to accomplish that goal.
California was led by the Democratic party from a land of sunshine, plenty of work and an occasional earthquake to a land of excruciating high taxes, huge numbers of illegal immigrants, easy welfare accommodations for anyone, strong control by theEPA (Environmental Protection Agency) andSCAQMD (South Coast Air Quality Management District) and radically powerful, strong unions that have crippled the work force with a total disregard or understanding of how the economy works. Every day now there are protests in the streets by these unions demanding that their particular financial interests should be continually supported by the California government that is fiscally broken. They fail to see that the economy in California has completely collapsed.
Due to the Democratic mantra of “Tax and Spend” California has become the most unfriendly environment for both small and large businesses to flourish in. Consequently a lot of businesses have closed or have left California for other states and more than likely other countries.
An example of this is when Lockeed closed down it’s Burbank facilities instantly putting 15,000 people out of work. That is the figure just for Lockeed. It doesn’t address all the subcontractors for small parts and materials that went into the building of the aircraft in that facility.
Another example of that is the General Motors Plant in Van Nuys, CA. Built in 1947 and closed in 1992.
This plant towards the end built some of the worst cars ever assembled by General Motors. The Chevrolet Corvair, Camaro, Nova and Firebird.
While it is true that the plant was old, the property and the location were ideal for GM to build cars specifically for the California market. With some effort the palnt could have been rebuilt and modified for newer assembly line could have been built. How ever the decision was made to move this assembly plant to Sainte-Thérèse Assembly in Quebec, Canada.
So the issue at hand is jobs. As I have written about in the past, government does not create jobs. private enterprise creates jobs. The Democrats have completely damaged the business environment here in California. In the process of damaging the business environment the Democrats have diminished the tax base dramatically at the same time they have tried to make up for the lack jobs by huge tax rates for the people that still have jobs and businesses that are still open. The squeeze has to end somewhere or sometime and that somewhere and sometime is now.
I voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) hoping that he could get the job done. In the beginning he was doing a great job. But the Democrats saw his power and popularity as a threat and stone walled his every move and he finally capitulated to the Democrats and agreed to raise State Income Taxes, DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle) taxes, and State Sales Tax which is the most destructive tax a legislator could ever raise. This has exacerbated the crumbling economy here in California.
As long as California is a Democratically controlled state it will never ever regain the grand status that has left us in the late 70’s and the 80’s. The Democratic stranglehold on the State of California will be very hard to break because of two simple facts. 1. The number of business owners that would lobby against the Democrats is dwindling. The number of employees that expect their employers to provide all kind of services for free greatly out number the employers. 2. The number of people that expect the California Government to provide everything for free is in control of who is put in office.
In fact California is so damaged that there is serious discussion about rewriting the California Constitution. The California Constitution is not broken, the Democratic party that is interpreting the California Constitution is broken.
How is rewriting the California Constitution going to help the people of California get new jobs created by new companies that start and flourish and old companies that expand and grow and hire people?
I’m sure that with the state of California being run by Democrats, the “New and Improved” version of the California Constitution will be so severely flawed and skewed towards the Democratic mantra of “Tax & Spend” that the State of California will just continue to deteriorate at a much greatly increased speed.
Here is the next thing to think about. California has always been on the leading edge of trends that eventually move through out the rest of the states. If the California Constitution gets re-written will the following happen?
1. Will the Democrats in the other 49 states try to rewrite their own states constituion?
2. Will Barack Obama and the Obama Administration try to rewrite the US Constitution making the United States an even greater ‘Land of Entitlement”? Thus creating a land that contains a plethora of welfare available to anyone from the United States or any other country just by asking for it and not proving that an individual really needs welfare funds to begin with?
For some reason in past years there has been a fairly complex and sometimes efficient system of checks and balances between the Democrats and the Republicans. But all that has changed with the deteriorating economy.
I have a comment about education in California. I understand and I am in sympathy of what is happening in the schools with the cutbacks and overcrowding. But here is a question. Do you remember what John Kennedy said” “Ask not what your country can do for you, Rather ask what you can do for your country!” I have to admit for a Democrat he was connected to reality more than any other Democrat or Republican for that matter by saying this.
So here is my point. When some one decides to have a child, the responsibility of education should be partially funded by the individuals that have children that are being taught in the primarily the K-12 education system. Junior Colleges and State colleges are already paying tuition. To believe that education can be completely funded by state and local property taxes is absurd. I believe that the parents of these children should pay something towards enrollment for students. This tuition payed can only be used in that school that the tuition was payed to. Not to all the schools in the district. Maybe it is a small amount to subsidize, but it is something that that will help ease the financial burden of the California educational system. Which leads to why I brought up John Kennedy’s famous statement. Not all property tax payers have children in the educational system especially older citizens. Why should the burden of funding people that have children in the system be places on people that are not using the system. This is not to say that people that do not have children in the education system should not pay anything. That is not what I am saying. What I’m saying is that the people that do have children in the education system have to pay some kind of a tuition to offset the shrinking tax revenue do to loss of jobs, poorer paying jobs that does not generate high volumes of income tax and of course the number of foreclosure on homes that is diminishing property taxes. I do not know the numbers exactly but the logic is that the greater majority of people with children are renters and do not pay any property tax yet their children are in the schools. The amount of property tax on a commercial apartment building doesn’t even come close to paying for all the kids in that building. OK so you ask why doesn’t the landlord pay higher taxes? Well the local county could raise taxes…..but guess what? You are right. Rent would go through the roof and people would not be able to afford the apartment that they are renting nor would they have a big enough deposit to move to a different building. In general raising taxes is always a bad thing.
It all goes back to what I believe.
If the Democrats can keep people poor, uneducated, unemployed and desperate they will always have a voter base.
I haven’t been posting lately as everyday Barack Obama, Timothy Franz Geithner, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Franks, Harry Reid or Chris Dodd say something utterly stupid or even contrary to what each other is saying.
However now Barack Obama is dissing the People of the United States. This man has no conscience to even think about what is on the TelePrompTer in front of him.. He just reads and reads and has no idea what he is really saying.
He insulted me and called me arrogant. That really really pisses me off. He is by far the dumbest hammer in the box.
I can’t believe that people actually voted for him and sleep well at night knowing what they did. I am just so disgusted in the man. So far Barack Obama has done only a few things right.
1. Not raising the federal gas tax,
2. Not reinstating the Fairness Doctrine.
3. Recognizing that we have a very severe problem at the southern border. Although he has yes to take any action to help control the problems down there.
The number of things that he has done wrong to splinter the country are far to numerous to even begin listing here. However there is one. Now that GM has changed the name from General Motors to Government Motors and Barack Obama has fired Rick Wagoner, I can hardly wait to hear what kind of cars Barack Obama is going to mandate that Government Motors produces. I see a very very sad ending to this saga. If we had just let GM go into chapter 11, In 24 months, after the courts are finished, GM would be a leaner meaner machine and it would be strong again. But instead Barack Obama is giving GM a cane, a wheel chair and a gurney to Limp forward in to the coming years. I personally don’t see GM surviving under government control. If you question this at all, Just let me know about all the pleasant experiences you ever had at the DMV.
If he is smart and I know he isn’t, he should decline appearing at Notre Dame and call it a day.
The Tea Party is about to begin on April 15th and it doesn’t look good for the socialists.
I just wanted to let you know that because of William Jefferson Clinton’s reckless mandate for banks to write more loans even though the loans were not qualified or underwritten corretly, You have lost your house to foreclosure. But you can sleep well because Sasha and Malia Obama have a new swing set.
Sleep well my brave Proletariat. Barack will reward you with food stamps.
Gaze fondly at that little device in your hand that is your legacy, your life, your survival. An item that can help you achieve your dreams, your aspirations, your goals in life. Give you the confidence that your family and friends are OK when they answer your call or return your call.
Yes, it is your cell phone. Barack Obama will make that a huge cash cow to help pay back the trillions that he is spending. And you won’t have any say in it. As the Telcom companies have to pay these increases in spectrum license user fees, they will be very happy to pass it on to you and voila, a whole new set of fees, surcharges, taxes will magically appear on your cell phone bill.
Keep in mind that first responders in local municipalities will have to pay these fees also on the radio frequency spectrum that they use for Fire, Police, EMT, Haz Mat and other public communication services. The local governments will be glad to pass that on to you in the Real Estate Taxes that you pay in your town or city.
This will also affect commercial broadcasters (TV, Radio etc) who have to pay huge spectrum license fees already. Do you think it ends there? Guess again. It will affect providers of two way radio communications for businesses. Communications for delivery trucks, service companies that do repairs at your home. Telemetry used for businesses like UPS , Fed Ex and common carrier trucking companies to keep track of your packages. Oh did I mention radio services for our railroads, airlines, commercial and passenger ships, buses and other forms of public transportation? All using Radio Spectrum frequencies. But here is the one that I know will be a Huge Cash Cow for Barack Obama. Guess what is so very popular in our business today? Yep, Direct Connect or Nextel. What is that going to do to the cost of doing business?
OK, so can you see how we are going to get to 13% inflation or more that Jimmy Carter awarded the citizens of the United States with in 1980? Does this make sense to you now?
The people who voted for this monster called Barack Obama must be very, very wealthy and have a huge pile of cash to pay all these taxes that are in the future.
Why is it that you and I the taxpayer do not have enough money or credit to go to the GM , Ford, Chrysler, Honda or Toyota dealer to buy a new car? Or go out and buy furniture, Go out to eat dinner, Go to Best Buy and buy a new flat screen, buy new stoves or refrigerators, pay the mortgage, or just pay monthly bills?
Why is it then that Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Franks, Harry Reid and the other democrats can spend Trillions of dollars that they do even have to spend, Nor do they have the credit with other countries to borrow from? Oh Yeah I forget, We the taxpayers have involuntarily extended credit to the democrats with out uncollected tax payments.
Please leave a comment on how you would like to answer this question. I really would like to get this thread going.
