One Half of the Stimulus goes to Unions?

The NY Post is reporting that half of the Obama - Pelosi- Reid stimulus package goes to unions. And only 10% of the stimulus will be spent in 2009!

Ny Post Headline: Politics of Payoff by Ben Stein. (h/t Digg Story posted by GMarie624)

Stein's article is giving us a good glimpse into how the Obama -Pelosi-Reid plan is going to work.

We are in the middle of a so called "crisis of historical significance," and politicians are legislating enormous political payoffs to party supporters/donors, with money the People of the USA don't even have, and can't afford.

Meanwhile, private sector jobs are disappearing, private asset values are falling, people are getting forced onto food stamps, and we keep hearing the taxpayers need to tighten their belts.

Last I heard unions are 12% of the workforce, and they are getting 50% of the bailout?

How does that make sense at all?

Every American Citizen is being forced to pay so unions can get bigger and more powerful. Which, by no coincidence, will make the "Party" bigger and more powerful too. This will make it that businesses will be impossible to open and run, privately.

Just like in Europe!

It looks like our government is destroying jobs in the private sector to grow jobs for the unions!

So the "Party" benefits.

So now, instead of the People of the USA working their whole lives so they can provide for themselves, own nice things and can live comfortably in their old age, the Obama-Pelosi-Reid plan makes it that the People of the USA have to work their whole lives for the government and the "Party."

The People will work their whole lives so the government can own things, control things, have more power and create more government dependency. And so the "Party" supporters can own nice things and they can live comfortably in their old age.

To me this means forget about starting up or running private businesses, taking the risks, working the hours, and hiring and paying People in the USA. They are trying to make it not worth it anymore. It will all be taken from you, why make the effort?

Businesses who are voluntarily laying off or closing, must already see the writing on the wall!

It looks like the Party and Party supporters are central in this Country's focus and direction now. It is no longer about all the Citizens of the United States of America. The rest of us are peripheral, and will get what is rationed out, regulated, and allotted by that government and the Party!

So much for the government for the people by the people and of the people.

We now have government for the government, by the government and of the government.

Ben Stein tells us that only 10 percent of the "stimulus" is to be spent on 2009. This is solid proof, to me, that this whole idea that this "stimulus" must happen so quickly, or else, is a lie. How is this an emergency stimulus if we can drag all that money over years, and the first year is nearly negligible?

That is no emergency! It looks more like Party political strategy!

(And remember, this is just a start, this is going to be dragged out for years!)

The Socialist Takeover of Iceland

Ruin the economy, bleed values and wealth away from the People, start a revolution, take the country over, then write legislation to force all wealth, of the wealthy, to stay in the country, for the country's use.

All so the government can bleed even more value and wealth away from the People?

This sounds like a criminal take over and robbery of the People of Iceland. And the hot potato is in the hands of the socialists/communists.

Now we hear the Red-Green Socialists are putting joining the EU off for a while?

It looks like the robbery of the wealth and the sovereignty of the People of Iceland has become the long term plan of this "revolution."

In Debt To Its Ears, California Is Forcing Citizens to Extend Loans to the State

After breaking his campaign promise to solve California's "spending" problem, Arnold Swarzenegger has put the State and the Citizens of California into so much debt and deficit, that the government of California is unable to pay debt owed to Californian Citizens!

Their Income Tax refunds!

Money the State shouldn't even have in the first place, and they can't give it to the People!

This is money that rightly belongs to the Citizens of California, and should never be withheld!

With all the deficit and debt the Californian Government has accumulated, now the Californian Government is forcing Citizens of California to extend a loan to California too!

We are heading in the wrong direction, but apparently we haven't reached the liberal limit? Is the limit when we are all ruined?

It is all a pathetic mess.

An enormous, bloated, unmanageable government always robs and burdens the People!

Now California is selfishly asking for a bailout from the Federal Government. Which means California is asking to burden the whole nation with California's poor management!

Californian Citizens have to be looking around by now, asking how can this be? How can the liberals make a catastrophe out of California?

California is the liberal utopia.

Californians should know that the left's "utopian" policies are dragging the great State of California down, and due to the size of the economy of California, it is dragging the whole Nation down too!!

California is almost to double digit unemployment!

Governor Swarzenegger told Citizens of California this financial mess is like a rock on our chest. For someone who we all thought was so strong, Swarzenegger has proven himself to be a girly man. He has stumbled, and he has dropped the "rock on our chest" himself!

Swarzenegger's faithful liberal media just whistles past the dead body.

Anyone in California wondering what is the interest payment on all our debt? Who are we paying all that interest to? And what does all this debt do to the value of everything in California, every time we increase it??

Government debt should be illegal. Government debt is an admission of government policy that cannot sustain itself!!

Poor government policy should not mean go get a loan, it should mean get rid of that inept government maintaining or expanding that type of policy!

It should be illegal to burden the Citizens of the future with poor decisions of today.
