But as for me and my house ...
From the Beltway Insider:
In crafting and signing those executive orders, I wonder if Obama relied on the help of White House deputy counsel Cassandra Butts(1), White House special assistant Martha Coven (2), or the chief of staff or the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, Michael Strautmanis (3), all of whom were registered lobbyists. (I’m only numbering registered lobbyists.) Politico’s Anna Palmer reports: Industry insiders believe that Mitt Romney will unshackle the revolving door and give lobbyists a shot at the government jobs their Democratic counterparts have been denied for the past four years Yeah, I bet those Republican lobbyists will get envious stares from the likes of Fannie Mae, Cigna, Credit Suisse lobbyist Laricke Blanchard (4), whom Obama named deputy director of policy for the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation. Former teachers union lobbyist Gabriella Gomez (5) would be jealous – if her job as assistant secretary of Education gave her the time for such self-indulgence. Former crop-industry lobbyist Krysta Harden (6) must be thinking “why couldn’t I get a government job – besides my job as assistant secretary of Agriculture.” Read the entire article listing all 55 lobbyists in the White House.

Solyndra, didn't get enough free money from the American taxpayer with the $535 million, government backed loan guarantee. Now, they want more!
The failed solar panel maker is now adding insult to injury by filing for Chapter 11 reorganization. If they are successful, the principals and investors will receive a huge tax break as a reward. [That's stealing more money from the taxpayer! The investors get paid back but not the taxpayer.] The tax benefit was provided by the Administration to evade political accountability, according to Newsmax. Thankfully, the Internal Revenue Service has objected to Solyndra's reorganization plan citing Solyndra's "principal purpose is tax avoidance." The IRS usually wins. If they don't this time, there's something fishy going on. For the first time in my life, I'm rooting for the IRS! Read more on Newsmax.com: Solyndra Seeks Tax Benefit in Bankruptcy Twitter exploded last night following the debate with innumerable threats from Obama supporters to assassinate Mitt Romney if he defeats Obama in the presidential race. This is in addition to the many threats by Obama supporters to riot if Romney wins.
The primary reason given: fear that he will take away food stamps. Obviously, they don't know that the President has to get Congressional support like the rest of us. I guess they don't want to work for their food? Thanks, Barack Hussein Obama. We are now at a new low thanks to your fear-mongering. Dennis Kucinich (Dem.-Ohio) asked a poignant question of Fed member, Neil Kashkari, who appeared before the House Oversight Committee: 'I don't think anyone questions, Mr. Kashkari, that you're working hard. Our question is who you're working for?'
The House of Representatives, led by Ron Paul, voted to broaden the U.S. government’s powers to audit the Fed’s activities - a step in the right direction, although it is not a complete audit - and the Government Accounting Office has completed the audit and reported it's conclusions. Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, and various other bankers strongly opposed the audit and warned Congress about the effects an audit would have on markets. I am not surprised that it didn't happen - they're not the gurus they'd like you to believe. Results of the Fed audit: Remember that the U.S. GDP is $14.12 trillion. $16,000,000,000,000.00 (that's $16 trillion - but I thought you should see all the zeros) had been secretly given out to U.S. banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Fed had secretly bailed out many of the world’s banks, corporations, and governments. The Fed likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest. Meanwhile, the American public is obligated to pay interest on the debt! The TARP Bailout authorized $800 billion to be given to failing banks and companies. But, Goldman Sachs alone received $814 billion, and the Fed donated our money as follows: $2.5 trillion to Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley received $2.04 trillion. The Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank, a German bank, split about a trillion and numerous other banks received hefty chunks of the $16 trillion. “This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you’re-on-your-own individualism for everyone else.” Bernie Sanders (Ind.-VT) The entire national debt over its 200+ year history is $14.5 trillion prior to the Obama administration. The budget that is being debated so heavily in Congress and the Senate is $3.5 trillion. The fact is that the Fed is trying to bury us. Why? It is a very old plan. See the link below I repeat: ARE YOU OUTRAGED, YET??? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, AMERICANS! From the NY Daily News: Administration Advocates Breaking a 1988 Law That Defends Workers' Rights10/3/2012 The Obama administration's Friday afternoon document drop was a memo from the Department of Labor telling defense contractors not to provide legally-required notice to thousands of employees that they are about to be laid off, if automatic spending cuts agreed to by the President and the Congress take effect.
When the administration first proposed this idea back in June, defense contractors patiently explained to the President that there is a law, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification ("WARN") Act of 1988, that requires federal contractors to tell employees 60 days in advance of expected layoffs. There are quite a few layoffs expected for the end of the year as a result of an agreement between President Obama and Congress to cut astonishing amounts of funding for the Department of Defense. Companies that fail to meet their obligations under the WARN Act can be sued by their former employees. Defense contractors indicated that they would not be ignoring their legal duty under the WARN Act. The Obama administration's solution for these companies: Don't warn employees that they're about to be fired and the Department of Labor will pay the legal bills after fired employees sue for violating the WARN Act. This memo breaks the law. The President obviously wants to prevent thousands of employees, especially in swing-state Virginia, from being told that they are going to be laid off due to Department of Defense funding cuts. Because of the timing of the cuts, those notices would have been sent to employees just prior to the election in November. The man who signed those funding cuts into law would like to avoid that. Ironically, the WARN Act is just the sort of employee protection that Democrats have traditionally championed. I suppose winning the election is more important. FOR MORE: GO TO 'CURRENT EVENTS'/LOCKHEED LAYOFFS TAB ABOVE. Low Inflation?!? Wait a minute ...
No Budget for three years and now no Plan for SS:Watch David Axelrod stumble over his responses - which are none. Then, he derides the poser of one question, essentially saying he won't even discuss it with him until he is elected to the Senate. That's what they do, evade and attack. If that doesn't work - lie. |
