POLITICAL CANNIBALS CONSUMING AMERICA

26 Billion Dollar State Bailout is just Crazy
I sat there in front of my TV set watching in utter disbelief as President Obama explained the importance of saving thousands of Public Employee Union Jobs across America.
Any normal assessment of America’s financial condition would lead to the conclusion that there isn’t any reason to bail out cash strapped State governments.
Adding the demands of State governments to an already beleaguered working class federal taxpayer is ludicrous, ridiculous and insane.
I think I am being polite in that analysis.
Any simple household budgeter can conclude the obvious, that the idea of bailing out these cash strapped entities will only exasperate the problem.
This exemplifies the fact that these academics and do-gooders in the bigger than big government growth movement are hell bent on destroying our republic.
They are literally cannibalizing America, leaving not a morsel of meat for coming generations of Americans.
I consider these dim Wits to be more dangerous to our country than Hitler was or the WWll Japanese war machine.
They are more frightening than Russian cold war nukes; even Islamo-fascist terror groups are not as dangerous as this Obama crowd and the current scoundrels in Washington D.C.
I will include both gangs, the Reds and the Blues. Each are examples of an aged, worn out, broken concept.
The Democrats have been looking for a new cult leader since the death of JFK and the Republicans haven’t had a decent charismatic cult leader since Ronald Reagan.
I only wish they could join together and voluntarily follow the path of Marshall Applewhite and the Hale-bopp wacko’s in the Heavens gate cult who dressed in purple, laced up their Nike’s and hitched a ride on a passing comet.
We really would be better off if Jim Jones could come back and convince these modern day flesh eaters to down the purple Kool-Aid and take the long last journey to a place where they could do no more harm.
I am actually amazed that the sniper attacks in Oakland California haven’t spread across the land like a black plague.
Where do these idiots think they are taking us?
Have they even thought about the fact that their antics might lead to violence, even all out civil war?
Let me help you government not-so-genius folks out a bit here.
If you don’t have enough money to pay everybody, you downsize and cut costs and spending.
First you cut out non-essentials and non public safety departments and get down to the basic simple necessary aspects of keeping the peace and putting out the fires. We might want to keep the water, sewer and power on.
Other than Police, Fire (and that could be volunteer) and water, sewer and power… people will also need food.
They don’t need thousands of government do-good and feel good agencies.
Everything, social work, government schools, planning and zoning and all the wasted family court and social engineering programs and agencies can be done away with until we heal our land and pay off the debt.
We have mortgaged America beyond current market value.
The mortgage holders are China, Japan, Great Britain, Germany etc.
We are upside down, under water, in over our heads and drowning in a sea of debt so deep that modern science can’t find the bottom.
And now this pack of political ingrates wants to bail out the states and preserve and grow the cancer that is wrecking our nation… I just don’t get it!
It’s like the last living cannibal, looking longingly at his own appendages, knowing that he will die if he consumes himself, but stopping only long enough to contemplate the spices he will use.
Long live this republic!
THE 545 PEOPLE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL
OF AMERICA'S WOES
BY CHARLEY REESE, 1985
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code. Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy. Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 235 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank.
I excluded all but the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it.
No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislation's responsibility to determine how he votes.
A CONFIDENCE CONSPIRACY
Don't you see how the con game that is played on the people by the politicians? Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of Tip O'Neill, who stood up and criticized Ronald Reagan for creating deficits.
The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating appropriations and taxes.
O'neill is the speaker of the House. He is the leader of the majority party. He and his fellow Democrats, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetos it, they can pass it over his veto.
REPLACE SCOUNDRELS
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 235 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility.
I can't think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.
When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in Lebanon, it's because they want them in Lebanon.
There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take it.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation" or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people and they alone are responsible. They and they alone have the power. They and they alone should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided they have the gumption to manage their own employees.

I might add that "We the People" elected them to office.
