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."

New Executive Order? Government Censorship of Rush Limbaugh.

Two recent articles claiming that President Barack Obama told republicans lawmakers they have to quit listening to Rush Limbaugh.

Ny Post and FoxNews.

Excerpts are similar in each article. Here are some in green italics from Fox:

"President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration."

""You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders."
…

"While discussing the stimulus package with top lawmakers in the White House's Roosevelt Room, President Obama shot down a critic with a simple message. "I won," he said, according to aides who were briefed on the meeting. "I will trump you on that."

*

The President of the United States is telling members of our elected government to quit listening to Rush Limbaugh. If you are someone who doesn’t listen to Rush Limbaugh on a regular basis, you probably have absolutely no idea what this really means to all Americans, and how concerned we should all be that this was said.

By telling republicans to quit listening to Rush Limbaugh, President Barack Obama is telling republicans to quit:

Supporting free speech.
Supporting a variety of opinions.
Supporting debate.
Supporting Capitalism.
Supporting the Free market.
Supporting a free market health care system that is second to none.
Rejecting government controlled and rationed health care!
Supporting sound economic logic that forms the foundation for economic conclusions.
Supporting the self responsibility that this nation was founded upon!
Supporting private property ownership.
Supporting the fight against confiscatory taxes.
Supporting achievement and success in the United States of America.
Fighting against communism and socialism.
Working for the ideals and goals that Ronald Reagan stood for.
Supporting what the People need you to support!
Supporting the best solutions for problems we face.

Etc..

Everything listed above is part of what conservatism is, and conservatism is what Rush Limbaugh and his show are all about. Conservatism is what Rush Limbaugh supports and fights for and advocates every single day he is on the air.

The President of the United States of America is saying republicans have to give up all of our conservative wisdom and ideals, which is what Rush shares over the airwaves every day.

All because Barack Obama won? So he "trumps" it??

NewsFlash: The Conservative principles that Rush Limbaugh and Ronald Reagan have always stood for were not running in election 2008! Contrary to what President Barack Obama is suggesting, he has never run and won against conservative principles!

Obama's opponent, John McCain, did not stand for those principles! John McCain didn’t stand and debate and defend those principles!

Just like he isn’t doing that now!

If John McCain really stood for those principles he would have won! He would have won and he would still be standing up for them now!

But John McCain won't stand for those principles because he doesn’t stand for those principles!

He never has, he never will.

The reality of this whole situation is that everything President Barack Obama and majority leaders Pelosi and Reid want to do to this nation, is wrong. And any republican who goes along with any of it, instead of promoting and defending conservatism, will be just as wrong.

Barack Obama is trying to make Rush Limbaugh into some caricature of an enemy that does not exist, all so Obama and the democrats don't have to defend their poor policies! It seems that President Obama wants to pretend and create this illusion that Rush Limbaugh is so right wing and so partisan. When the truth is, Rush Limbaugh is right! Not right wing! (Don’t take my word for it, if you are ready to wake up, turn off CNN and MSNBC and listen to Rush for yourself, for at least 6 weeks!)

President Obama is denying how positive Rush Limbaugh really is to this nation, and what he really stand’s for.

Rush Limbaugh stands for the power of the individual to carve their own path! Rush Limbaugh stands for the wealth, control and power of this country residing in the People’s hands where it belongs, not in the hands of an ever explanding government. Rush Limbaugh stands against the government creating a crisis and using the People’s money to advance “Party” political agendas!

Rush Limbaugh stands for everything that every American Citizen is promised, and expects from this country. Rush Limbaugh stands for everything that every American Citizen could not even imagine our government trying to take away, but is threatened by extinction at this very moment!

Shutting up Rush Limbaugh is demanding the abandonment of the United States of America, as we know it!

Time to wake up America. The highest eschelon of our government is trying to silence Rush Limbaugh in our debate about government. That speaks volumes. This is a loud warning of danger to all Citizens of this Country, now and into the future!

If democrats are looking to prosecute anyone, they Should Should Take a Good Look in the Mirror!

Nancy Pelosi is saying she is open to prosecuting President Bush and his officials?

Now that President Bush will be outside of the government, Nancy Pelosi is willing to use her full power and monopoly control of the government to come up with her own evidence and run her own investigation and prosecution?

If the democrats are looking to prosecute anyone, they should take a good look in the mirror first!

The democrat party should be prosecuted for everything they have done and are actively doing, from Acorn to Soros, to maintaining policy that is robbing the Citizens of the United States of America of their wealth, property and rights, to cultivating unconstitutional power of the judiciary, to legislating unconstitutional power of the Treasury Secretary, to ignoring our Constitution in general, to this whole financial mess...etc...

And they are going to prosecute George Bush?

The democrats have an agenda to lie to the Citizens of the USA about global warming. They want to use this deception to take Citizen's prosperity, property, wealth and savings, and to burden and destroy American businesses. All so they can "reinvest" and create industries, with their Party friends, that will change absolutely nothing about the climate!

And they are going to prosecute George Bush?

Certain politicians have been involved in destroying businesses on purpose, and certain politicans are exploiting the situation by nationalizing these companies (at the new low prices), or allowing Party friends to buy American businesses out at a discount.

It really looks like the democrats are sponsoring a criminal free for all in our financial system ! Everything at least 50% off!

And they are going to prosecute George Bush?

The democrats want to enforce illegal censorship and to silence all opposition to their agenda inside and outside of the government.

And they are going to prosecute George Bush?


The democrats were determined to write into the old "Bailout" legislation that they will give financial grants to ACORN, who is accused of voter fraud all over this Country, and is clearly the registration arm of the democrat party!

Will they write it into the new Bailout/Reinvestment bills?

This sure makes it look like the democrats are using the People's money to recruit for their party!!

And they are going to prosecute George W. Bush?

(While we are in this supposed crisis, they give bailout money to ACORN?????? In the Crisis Bill?? Democrats using the "crisis" money for something like that makes you wonder if any of this "crisis" is really a crisis at all! Using "crisis" money for Party recruiting makes you wonder if this has been manufactured lies and panic all along. All for Party money, ownership and power!)

The democrats oversee the government and are using their power to destroy our financial market, rob us of our wealth, our value and our property, so they can own it and spend it and "reinvest it" as they wish!

By the way, the democrats are not "reinvesting." "Reinvesting" is such a bogus word in this situation! What they are doing is "gambling." They are gambling it all away on something that will NEVER pay off.

Then they tell us we have to reign in our lifestyles!

And they are going to prosecute George Bush??

All of this is the ultimate in hypocrisy.

Nationalization of Our Banks Follows the Socialist Template

To solve the problem of government interference in our loan markets (the sub prime loans forced on privately owned banks) the United States government has started to Nationalize our privately owned Banks.

I read that this bank Nationalization is supposed to be a shot in the arm. But at what cost? And what does the shot cure??

The government nationalizing our banks is a catastrophe. The phrase "shot in the arm" sounds real good, it sounds like it is supposed to cure us, but our banks are being Nationalized. Nationalization of America's business and economy wont cure anything.

It will make things worse.

More government interference in the market is supposed to solve government interference in the market problems??

We are going to reward government interference with giving the government more power to interfere?

National Review's most recent copy (11.14.08) has an article called "Death by Rescue" (I got it in the snail mail not online) and it says that first the government started dealing with this financial problem wrong, by using their power to take over private property (which is bad in National Review's opinion). The article goes on to say that now the government has changed course and the government is buying into banks, and they think that is a good thing.

I disagree.

Yes, I agree that the government taking property is bad, but I also think the government taking ownership of any business, including banks, is bad too. That is Socialism. That is bad, no matter what the excuse is!

The United States Government should not be taking over anything to solve a problem, especially when it is the failed policies of the government that caused the problem in the first place! These are failed government policies that have not been corrected. The government made the catastrophe they are trying to solve. They are not solving the problem by fixing how it was created! Or fixing the damage they caused. They are exploiting the problem by taking more control over private business, which is making the problem infinitely worse for all of us!

Why grant the government more power and control when they are not using the power and control they have honorably?

If this whole crisis is all really about a need for a shot in the arm, a cash flow issue, why didn't the Fed just offer loans that the banks and companies could take at their own choosing?? Why did nationalization have to be taken?? Why, at first, did the government go through company after company and force whole companies to be wiped out, taken over, and sold off, instead of allowing them loans too? The American government forced companies to be taken over by bigger fish. For Bear Stearns, stock value 30$ Friday night, forced by the government to sell over the weekend at $2.00 (Data found in National review article, Death by Rescue 11.14.08). No loan offer, no save, just destroy the companies? What a huge blow to those owners and stock holders! But what a gift to the buyer! Government discounting?

Why are some companies crushed and some companies bailed out?

Why, when the government caused the problem, should we think the government will be fair and wise when they decide what companies get crushed and what companies get bailed out to solve the problem?

How hypocritical for the government to decide any company should be crushed when the government caused the problem!

That is an abuse of power.

The other day Treasury Secty Paulson announced this Nationalization of banks will continue beyond the initial 9 banks.

History tells us the credit problem was caused by our government. Jimmy Carter signed the law that started it all. Left wing organizations, including ACORN forced these loans on banks with lawsuits. (By the way, President elect Obama donated $800,000 to Acorn this election, and Worked with Acorn and was a lawyer for Acorn.) The democrats defended this loan policy over and over even though it was pointed out over and over how dangerous the policies are. Here is a video of when the left defended the loan policy when it was questioned in 2004. Here is another video describing the evolution of the problem and mapping out how it was covered up and defended by the left . The government didn't stop this policy, they didn't fix it, and they haven't repealed the law that caused it yet. But now the banks have to be bought out to solve the problem???

They said this is supposed to be temporary. Can we really believe the government will release their stake in the banks after the "crisis" is over?

When they are taking ownership in banks for all the wrong reasons?

Doubtful.

Why do I think this way? Again, the government caused the problem. They didn't stop it when they could. To me, that makes it look like it is all intentional. What makes it look even more intentional?

Look at World reaction to this problem, that goes right along with the socialist solutions getting pushed in our government! Iran was saying Capitalism is dead because of this. Others in the world are calling for a New World Order because of this . Ever since this problem started we keep hearing the drumbeat that these problems should be solved with a World solution. A global solution. So many meetings of World leaders since the whole thing came up. As a matter of fact, Countries outside the US have been meeting recently so they can find a way "to repair the financial system as a way to bolster the global economy."

Yahoo is reporting: World Financial System overhaul added to Obama's to-do list

So now the solution to our government interfering in our markets should be global? Global what?? Global financial systems? Global governance?

Unconstitutional. Right? You Betcha!

Another mission accomplished for the socialist/communist crowd if they get away with all of this. In my opinion.

Where is the line drawn with solving this "crisis"? First it was property taking and business destruction by the government, then it is forced bank takeovers. Do we want some global government in charge of us to solve the problem too?

NO! We want none of it!

Global government?? Insanity! Where would that global government's reach end?? Most of the World has a pathetic economy, yet they want us to just release control of our prosperous capitalist economy over to the World? To solve a problem?? As we discussed, so many in the World say capitalism is the cause of all ills. They say capitalism is the problem! They point to capitalism while they deny that their pathetic systems should take full credit for their mess. How can we expect the New World Order government to solve any problems if they think this way about capitalism?? I see danger in the relinquishing of our sovereignty to anyone. I can see it leading to a control over everything in the economy, such as income, taxes and property ownership for starts. (I don't know if you know, but the UN World Body believes we shouldn't own property.)

The government nationalizing banks is not harmless. I believe it is sinister. It is dangerous. The government who blew up the economy with loan policy is going to save us by taking over part of our banks?? They are selling it as a "shot in the arm." But I believe this is a time bomb set to go off in the middle of the freedom and prosperity of this nation. A bomb that may be set to propel us to live under a global decision making financial authority. For starters.

Which, is a catastrophe.

America and her freedom and her sovereignty has never been so threatened. By people outside AND inside our government! I don't trust the government to do the right thing anymore. Everything our founders and our fathers fought for will be thrown away by these power hungry "globalists."

I can't help but believe this crisis has been created so it could be "solved" this way. It fits the socialist template. I have a nagging feeling, to the point of certainty, that none of this is happening on accident.

Sounds hard to believe to you?? I hope not.

A good parallel to this whole idea of the government causing a problem, so they can solve the problem with socialism, is the healthcare system of the USA. Our federal government has a policy of open borders. So millions and millions of illegal aliens come in to the USA whenever they want and use our healthcare system free, driving up costs for all USA citizens exponentially.

The government's solution is not stopping open borders or illegal immigration, their solution is socializing healthcare.

The government solution to the high costs of healthcare they are causing, is to keep importing poverty, and socializing healthcare! (Socializing healthcare would mean taking over a huge part of the insurance industry and the healthcare industry of our Nation.)

So right there is the template on how our government works here now. They cause the problem so they can solve it with socialism. They cause the problem, and they don't solve the problem by stopping their bad policy, they solve the problem with socialism. They want to do it with healthcare, it is hard to believe they are not doing the exact same thing with our financial system.

No matter how benevolent they claim they are.
