Obama and Dems: Fiscal Responsibility is for Suckas’

Just like he has for the last year, and throughout his candidacy, O-bow-ma is lying to us again.  He thinks we are all stupid.  After all of the broken promises he has made, why should we even entertain the thought that he might be telling the truth this time?  Even if his “spending freeze” becomes a reality, it is like trying to bail out the Pacific Ocean with a tea cup.
Imagine that you send your son or daughter to college.  They come home at the end of the first year and confess that they have run up a $50,000 tab on your credit card.  But they say “It’s OK, Dad.  I’m going to freeze my spending at that level for the next 3 years.“  Does that make you feel any better about going to the poor house?
If we are serious about cutting the debt and the deficit, stimulating the economy, and preserving the American way of life, then we will not only cap NON-DEFENSE spending to include Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and all the other social entitlement spending that no one is actually “entitled” to, we will do away with the IRS, the Department of Energy, the Department of Education, and most of the other unnecessary governmental agencies that don’t live up to the purpose for which they were commissioned.  Return to the LIMITED role of government that was intended by our founding fathers, and watch Americans rise to the occasion and restore us to our place as the greatest nation on earth.

GOP Skeptical of Obama’s Commitment to Fiscal Prudence

(CNSNews.com) – While calling for a modest spending freeze and the creation of a bipartisan task force to examine government spending, President Obama also announced a number of new spending proposals in his first State of the Union address. (It’s worse than a woman who spends $3,000 at the after Christmas sales and comes home boasting of how much money she has saved.  Obama is saying “I’m going to save money by spending more of it.”  Let’s see him put his money where is big, fat, left-leaning ideological mouth is and donate his entire salary to charity.) …

…The freeze – which is projected to save $250 billion over 10 years — would make only a marginal dent in the federal deficit, which was $1.4 trillion in 2009 and will be an estimated $1 trillion per year for the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The national debt, meanwhile, is $12.3 trillion.  (Understand that his “freeze” only saves $25 billion per year, while running up an additional $1 trillion deficit per year.  So Obama’s scam ONLY SHAVES 2.5% FROM HIS SKYROCKETING SPENDING.)

President George W. Bush’s final budget for fiscal year 2009 included $589 billion in discretionary spending. Obama’s first budget proposal for fiscal year 2010 hiked non-defense discretionary spending by 19.5 percent to $704 billion. …

Spending Cuts – Not Revenues – Key to Solving Budget Shortfall, GOP Leaders Say

(CNSNews.com) – Top House Republicans Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said that spending cuts, not increased revenues, were the key to resolving the nation’s projected $6 trillion in deficit spending over the next decade. …

…“Keep in mind the president promised he was going to go through that budget line-by-line and scrub that budget. I have a dream someday the president’s going to do what he says,” Gohmert said. (he’ll scrub defense spending and anything not directly connected with buying votes for liberals from the budget.)…

…“Their progressive ideology is taking us down what I call a tipping point, after which a majority of Americans are [more] dependent upon the federal government than they are on themselves – a kind of European-style welfare state where high unemployment is a fixture and there is no reward for personal initiative and responsibility, people just expect the government to take care of them.”…

…CNSNews.com asked Ryan whether he supported doing that by cutting spending by $6 trillion over the next decade, the amount necessary to return to a balanced budget. Ryan said that not only did he support the idea – his legislation provided a responsible way to do it. …

Sen. Gregg: Eliminating Some Federal Agencies to Reduce Spending Is ‘Great Idea’

Washington (CNSNews.com) – Sen. Judd Gregg, the Budget Committee’s ranking Republican, told CNSNews.com that eliminating some federal agencies to reduce spending – with the goal of balancing the budget — is a “great idea.” …

… “Well, you’re going have to reduce the rate of growth of the federal government,” (Hey, Judd.  How about STOPPING the growth of the federal government?  This windsock style double speak is why you need to follow your democrat counterparts to the train station and board the train permanently leaving Washington.) Gregg told CNSNews.com. “You’re going to have to increase the activity in the economy to get the revenues back up, but yes, you’ve got to control spending — that’s the bottom line.”

“We’re spending too much money,” Gregg continued. “We’ve taken the size of the government — 20 percent of GDP, up to 25 percent of GDP — just in a year, and we simply can’t sustain a government that’s 25 percent of GDP.” …

McCain Says He Supports Cutting Federal Spending Enough to Counter the $6 Trillion in New Debt CBO Predicts over Next Ten Years

(CNSNews.com) – Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday he would support cutting federal spending enough to counter-balance the $6 trillion in new debt that a newly released Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report indicated would be added to the federal ledgers over the next ten years if current laws govering taxing and spending are maintained. …

… Is each of you prepared to support that budget, or–excuse me—spending cuts to that extent over the next decade to bring the budget in line over the course of 10 years?”

“Yes,” said McCain, ”and everybody’s going to – the reaction to this is going to be, ‘It’s too hard. We can’t do it. It’s too hard. You can’t do it. You can’t do that.’” …

… McCain’s chart showed that the federal debt in 2001 was roughly 57.4 percent of GDP back in 2001, but was projected to balloon to 114.4 percent of GDP by 2019. As a reference point, the highest that ratio ever climbed during World War II was 121.7 percent, just slightly higher than these new projections. …

Senate Budget Chairman: ‘We Can Handle’ Current Level of Debt But Long-Term Trajectory ‘Unsustainable’

(CNSNews.com) – Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) in reference to the latest economic forecast by the Congressional Budget Office [CBO] said “we can handle” the current level of debt. (You think so?  We can never pay off the debt we have today, much less if we pile another $6 Trillion in debt.  You say we can handle it like we did post WWII.  But that assumes we have an economy that actually produces wealth.  If we don’t bring back industry and business to America with a favorable business environment, we’re finished.) …

… In the long-term, “if we stay on the course we’re on, it is completely and totally unsustainable – the debt that will approach 400 percent of the Gross Domestic Product of the United States,” Conrad said. …

Sen. Casey Won’t Commit to Cutting the $6 Trillion Needed to Balance the Budget; Blames Bush for Deficits

(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) would not say, when asked, if he would support a federal spending cut of $6 trillion over the next decade, the amount needed to bring the budget into balance, according to a new Congressional Budget Office report. …

… “Well, what we need to do is get back to fiscal responsibility, and one of the problems — one of the reasons why we’re still in the hole, and digging out of the hole, is because President Bush came into office and ran up — he and his Republican friends — ran up a lot of deficits,” Casey said. (There it is.  You knew you wouldn’t have to wait long to hear a democrat blame Bush for something, anything, and everything.  As irresponsible as Bush and the Republicans were in the previous 8 years, Obama and the democrats have more than doubled what Bush spent IN JUST ONE FREAKING YEAR! So shut that putrid pie hole under your stuck up elitist noses, you stupid liberals.  The “blame Bush” excuse is over.  You bought this steaming economic turd.  You own it now.)…

… In addition, the CBO said the unemployment rate would probably not go below 9 percent until 2012, while individual income taxes are expected to rise by 33 percent in 2011. (Did you copy that?  YOUR INCOME TAXES WILL GO UP 33% NEXT YEAR.  That should piss you off to the point you are frothing at the mouth.  Mr. O-bow-ma throws lavish parties and jet sets all over the world living at our expense with no worries at all.  He sacrifices NOTHING while we are pushed into the salt mines.  If my taxes go up 33%, I’ll be bankrupt.  He can come and try take my house from me in person.  I’d like that.)

President Obama has announced that he would like a three-year freeze on ‘non-security’ spending which would amount to around $15 billion saved per year — a small fraction of the total projected deficit. (Yet he will do nothing to CUT spending.  Saying he has identified $25 Billion in cost savings (which I don’t believe) is just as insulting as saying he has “saved or created” umpteen million jobs when the unemployment rate continues to march steadily upward every month.  He’s lying about that AGAIN.  EVERY month since he has been in office an additional several hundred thousand people have lost their jobs.) …

Jack Webb Schools Barack Obama

Jack Webb, we need you.  We need you, Ronald Reagan, and the founding fathers.  We need you to explain to the idiots that have been elected to our government, and to the idiots that elected them, what America is really all about.   We need you to get through their thick skulls that America is NOT a socialist nation, and will not tolerate the tyrannical destruction of our constitution and way of life.

If your words don’t penetrate their thick skulls and echo within their empty cranial cavities, feel free to crack those skulls open.

Obama’s State of the Union, January 2010: Unpresidential and Uninspiring

An open letter to Barack Obama in response to his State of the Union speech:

---

State of the Union, January 2010

Mr. Obama, here are my reactions to and impressions of your State of the Union speech last night.
First of all, let me make one overall recommendation to you, Mr. Obama.

Grow up and take responsibility.

You say “I’m not interested in re-litigating the past.”  Yet you continue to blame George W. Bush for EVERYTHING under the sun.  You point fingers and blame everyone else on the planet for your problems, and for things you don’t like while dodging any and all personal responsibility for events taking place in America now.  It makes you look immature and petty.  The minute you signed onto the stimulus and began taking over companies and banks, you owned this economy, and your senatorial votes during the Bush administration played a significant part in the economy’s demise.

You said that you understand the “burden of working harder for less,” and “I know the anxieties out there now.”  Really?  Sir, most of your life has been one of privilege financed by others.  Now you are at the pinnacle of that life living in the lap of luxury, throwing lavish parties, traveling all over the world, flaunting power all at the expense of the American taxpayer.  If you really understood, you wouldn’t be throwing your weekly parties for your cronies, and you wouldn’t be spending millions of taxpayer dollars flying all over the country and world on Air Force One just to get photo ops for your never ending campaign.  You would be staying in Washington, D.C. working on REAL, bipartisan solutions.

You stated that you had cut taxes for millions of us in the middle class.  Really?  Being solidly in the middle class, I think I would know if you had.  Allowing us to keep more money up front and then taxing it away from us on April 15^th is not a tax cut.  Mailing me a check for a SMALL PORTION of the tax money that was mine to begin with is a REBATE, not a tax cut.  When you mail those same checks to the 50% of Americans who don’t pay income taxes anyway, that’s just a handout.  When you’re charitable with your own money, that’s generosity.  When you’re charitable with OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY, that’s called THEFT or REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH when it’s done by the government.

You talk of creating government/public service jobs to help the economy.  Since you were supposedly a “professor,” I would expect you to be educated enough to understand that public-sector, government jobs by definition CAN NOT CREATE WEALTH, which is what will stimulate our economy.  A government job by definition takes money away from the economy to pay for itself.

Mr. Obama, you said you wanted a “jobs bill” on your desk immediately.  Sir, here’s the jobs bill guaranteed to create jobs, and stimulate economic growth.  I’ve delivered it to you before congress could, and kept it so brief that any child could understand it.  Here it is.  Are you ready?

CUT TAXES!

Cut personal income taxes, cut corporate taxes, and eliminate the “death” and “marriage” taxes, and I GUARANTEE that the economy will take off like a rocket.

You also mentioned that you were going to “double exports” to reduce our trade deficit.  That sounds good, but how do you plan to achieve that, and what do you plan to export?  The liberal policies of taxing businesses and creating a business climate that forces them to move their businesses overseas has left us with very little to export.  When you make a corporate environment that ATTRACTS businesses, we will once again produce what the rest of the world wants, and exports will be a natural byproduct of that.

When it comes to health care reform, you have been wrong, and continue to be wrong.  You have been dishonest in your dealings with the American people, and have outright lied about the “transparency” that was supposed to be the hallmark of these negotiations and of your administration.  CSPAN?  How’s that working for you?  I guess I just missed all of those broadcasts, because I haven’t seen any of them.  You said “if anybody has a better idea (about health care) let me know.”  Oh, dear Lord in Heaven (I can introduce you to Him), please keep my head from exploding.  You and the rest of your “progressive” (read communist) buddies have SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED REPUBLICANS from the entire process, and refused to listen to, include or consider ANY of their ideas while crafting your government takeover of the health care system.  Sir, the ideas are there but you are unwilling to listen to any ideas that do not fit your agenda.  Tort reform, tax cuts, competition across state lines, and several other ideas have been put forth that are proven successful strategies for making health care better and more affordable.  Yet you won’t allow them to be put on the table because they don’t pay your union buddies, or contribute to the takeover of health care.  I pause to conjure the spirit of Rep. Joe Wilson.

You said you were going to “freeze spending for three years.”  You speak of how that won’t start until 2011 because “that’s how budgeting works.”  How convenient that it works out that you are putting it off until AFTER the midterm elections so that any possible pain associated with your policies won’t be felt until after Americans cast their votes. Your “spending freeze” sounds good to the uninitiated and uneducated that you hoped were the majority of your audience last night.  But the reality is that you have already allowed HUGE spending increases in nearly every government agency that they wouldn’t have seen in the next 5-7 years COMBINED.  Then you exempt the largest portion of government spending from any freeze.  That would be the ENTITLEMENT SPENDING upon which you and the liberals depend for your political lives, and to which NO ONE IS ACTUALLY ENTITLED.  If you were serious about eliminating the deficit, and paying down the debt, then you would get serious about ELIMINATING GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.  Go to a flat tax (which is a FAIR tax) with no exemptions and eliminate the IRS.  That would save about $11 Billion per year.  The Department of Energy was established to “end our dependence on foreign oil.”  How would you say that’s working?  The DoE is about as useful as mammary glands on a boar hog.  Scrap it and save the billions of dollars per year that it sucks up from the tax payers.  You could legitimately close the doors of 75% of the Federal government with no negative impact on America.  You would in fact allow America to prosper by simply getting government out of the way, and saving us all of that money.

You speak of dismantling our nuclear arms and “agreements” with the Russians.  You obviously are not a student of history.  When we weaken ourselves, our enemies do not follow suit.  Whether it be the Soviets/Russians, the Iranians, or the North Koreans, they have proven themselves to be liars.  They will say whatever you want them to say to gain short-term political favor.  They will not disarm themselves.  Disarming unilaterally and dealing from a position of weakness will only open us up to aggression and attack from the likes of Russia, China, and Iran, not to mention the many terrorist groups who want nothing more than to see Americans die.  We need to be the biggest, strongest kid on the block to ensure peace for us, and for the rest of the world.

The one thing from your speech on which we agree is the building of nuclear power plants, and removal of restrictions on offshore drilling.  Everyone agrees that we need to try to develop clean, self-sustaining forms and sources of energy.  But letting private innovation lead the way and develop products that Americans ACTUALLY WANT is the only way to make “green” energy a success.  By forcing it down our throats while demonizing and destroying our other inexpensive, reliable forms of energy will only destroy those jobs before new ones emerge, skyrocket the cost of energy (which you promised us under YOUR plan), and destroy an economy that depends on energy at an affordable price.  I’m beginning to think this may actually be your intent.

Finally, you displayed your true, anti-American, communist, thug, street organizer colors when you quietly announced your “enemies list” during your speech.  You and your band of thugs like Rahm Emanuel bully and intimidate people to get your way.  You did so with Fox News and the other news outlets when you declared that Fox News was not a legitimate news organization, would not be treated as such, and that the other “news” outlets would be “wise” not to treat them that way either.  Attempt to destroy one to make an example of them, and use fear to control the others, a strategy from your idol, Saul Alinsky.  In a total breach of decorum and decency, you publicly flog the Supreme Court, who can’t defend themselves, and lie about their decision that actually reaffirms the 1^st Amendment freedom of speech.  You hand down the list of people whom you will combat and try to destroy if they stand in your way, a list which includes bankers, capitalist “fat-cats,” the Supreme Court, and anyone in the media or with a microphone, megaphone, or pulpit from which to deliver a message that exposes the fallacies of your agenda.  You are blatantly trying to stifle free speech.  Woodrow Wilson and FDR were two of the “progressives” who employed similar tactics.  No more, Mr. Obama.  We will not tolerate your attempts to silence us.

Mr. Obama, you simply don’t care about Americans or America.  The people of Massachusetts, a solidly liberal state, sent you a loud and clear message.  But you won’t listen.  Congress didn’t give you what you wanted, so rather than reevaluate whether what YOU want is what Americans want or need, you boldly declare that you will simply sign executive orders to bypass the congress, and any other entity that stands in your way.  You attack and besmirch the Supreme Court because you don’t control them.  You lied when you said you “never said you could end divisiveness and start a post-partisan, post-racial era.”  BULL CHIPS!  You campaigned on EXACTLY THAT PROMISE!

Sir, you are an arrogant, dishonest narcissist who is a danger to America.  You attempted to include yourself in the greatness of America when you said that “our ideals built America.”

Mr. Obama, it was OUR ideals that build America, NOT YOURS.

Out of patience,
///SIGNED///

Obama and Co. Support Terrorists and Terrorism

O-Bow-ma runs around the world bowing to every muslim ruler and tinpot dictator he can find, he stands in front of a muslim audience in Turkey and says the U.S. is no longer a Christian nation, he says in his campaign he has visited “all 57 states” which corresponds to the 57 muslim states, he downplays the “crotch bomber” (Great balls of fire!) at Christmas and keeps playing golf, and OBTW most people claiming to be Christians (as he still does) are usually celebrating the birth of Christ on Christmas instead of playing golf.

Now the U.S. Treasury, at the direction of O-Bow-ma, has removed the hamas terrorists from the TERRORIST WATCH LIST so that they can get money with no restrictions.

Obama is a muslim, anti-American, terrorist sympathizing communist.

Hamas may have been whitewashed, but it is no cleaner than before

25 Jan 2010
A news item entitled ‘US Terror Blacklist Whitewashes Hamas, Enables Funding’ just arrived in my e-mail a few minutes ago. According to its authors, the US Treasury has removed all the Hamas members previously blacklisted as terrorists, with the exception of Musa Abu Marzouk, the deputy chairman of the Hamas political bureau, from the black list that banks almost everywhere are obliged to use in order to block known terrorists from exploiting the financial system to finance their operations.

In practical terms, the Treasury’s black list of names is a total waste of time: as it is a public document, everyone named in it knows that his name is there, and should he want to open a bank account somewhere, he will find a suitable way round the regulations, either by using a false passport or by using a third party to act on his behalf. And apart from that, the details of many entries in the black list document are simply not very accurate or practical: as a senior compliance executive of one of the biggest European banks told me a few years ago, “the black lists are lousy” as a way of preventing terror finance and money laundering.

Nevertheless, this news is absolutely alarming, not so much because of the symbolism of removing the names of known Hamas leaders and terrorists from the black lists, but because doing so will now allow the European Union to continue sending money to the Hamas-run regime of thugs in Gaza without needing to pretend that it is only financing humanitarian efforts, while boycotting the ’military’ side of the government there. There is a genuine problem of how to ensure that genuine humanitarian aid continues to flow without helping Hamas — most of whose victims are actually Palestinians living in Gaza, rather than the hated Israelis — but this discussion is for another occasion.

Obama Okays Funding of Hamas Murderers

by texpat · 01/26/2010 7:15 am

Israel National News reports:

The United States Treasury has taken all but one member of Hamas off the international list of terrorists, thus enabling funds from the European Union to enter Hamas-controlled Gaza.

It is an open secret that large sums of money from the EU flow into Gaza in the guise of humanitarian aid and salaries for officials, but are actually funneled into the coffers of Hamas, which controls Gaza with an iron grip. This method of transferring funds into terrorists’ hands could have been blocked by an international lawsuit, but according to journalist Avi Tarango, the United States Treasury has made this impossible by removing all but one Hamas man – Deputy Chairman of the Political Bureau, Musa Abu Marzouk – from the list of international terrorists.

and this:

However, according to Tarango, who went over the list, none of the tens of thousands of people who form Hamas is mentioned – other than Abu Marzuk, who resides in Damascus. The terrorist list is meant for distribution in the world banking system, where the transfer of funds to anyone on the list is prohibited.

The Bush administration was adept and persistent in trying to destroy or, at least, make very difficult the transfer of funds into terrorist hands around the world after September 11, 2001. Many of these measures are slowly being dismantled.

“EU laws define Hamas as a terror organization and therefore the EU people need to verify on a name-by-name basis that none of the people receiving salaries and support is a terrorist,” Tarango said. “This is done by the EU’s cash transfer mechanism, PEGASE, which verifies that none of the recipients of salaries are members of Hamas’s police force or activists of the military wing of Hamas, by comparing the names as received from the PA treasury department with the list of international terror activists. However, since the newly-updated list contains no Hamas officials except for Marzouk, the European check will find nothing and the funds for Gaza salaries will be transferred in whole to the Gaza banks.”
