Super Committee Failure Is A Surprise?

Back at the very beginning of the Super Committee it was going to fail. It was designed that way. All anyone had to do was look at the people who were put on the committee and it was obvious they were NOT serious about finding ways to cut spending. The people the Democrats put on were MASSIVE tax and spenders, while the Republicans were MASSIVE spending cutters. It would be easier to get a lion to become a vegetarian than to get these two groups to come to an agreement. This committee was designed to fail and that's what it did. The Democrats were planning on a "Do Nothing Congress" for Obama to run against and to keep the Republicans from having any success to point to for 2012.

The SUCCESS of this Super Committee is in the eyes of the American people. It's symbolic, but it's a MASSIVE success. The Republicans have managed to lock up the Democrats from piling on MORE spending and MORE taxes before we can get to the 2012 elections and own BOTH houses and the White House. Until that time, being a "Do Nothing Congress" is EXACTLY what they were elected to do and they are succeeding exceptionally well.

No Rewind Buttons

Life has no "Rewind" buttons.

The best we can do is learn from our mistakes and keep on moving forward.

The Michelle Boo Chorus

When you tell the American people they are stupid, lazy, unable to make decisions for themselves, bitter-clingers and generally beneath your contempt until you want to use their tax money for one of your "celebrity" vacations how do you expect them to react when you run into them in public? BOOOOO!!

Michelle Obama's handlers tried to keep her away from the general public for most of her three years as First Lady. She spoke to groups that either paid to see her or were well vetted and controlled. When the First Lady goes to large events like the World Series or a NASCAR event she gets booed because Americans now see her and her husband for who they are - and it's not as fellow Americans concerned about the welfare of the country. And Americans don't like the Obamas any more than they like us.

Michelle Obama had better get used to that kind of treatment, however, because the election season is about to start full-bore in about two months. She's going to be speaking at a lot of events with a lot of people and they are all NOT going to be happy to see her. She may want to hang onto those noise suppressors from NASCAR, as we get closer to the election she's going to need them - there's going to be a LOT more booing.

Obamacare Repeal Warning

Just a small warning to all of us "Defeat Obama and Obamacare" folks. If the Supreme Court overturns Obamacare jobs will start to return. The economy will start to pick up as soon as employers are sure Obamacare regulations are off their backs. If that happens too early in the election cycle, that could help Obama's re-election chances.

This has been a public service of the "Don't Re-Elect Obama" campaign.

Redistribution Of Middle Class Wealth

We now see what President Obama meant when he said he wanted to redistribute our wealth. You never listen to what Obama SAYS – you have to watch what he DOES.

He SAID he wanted to take money from the “richer Americans” and flow it through the government to the “poorer Americans.” That’s what he SAID.

What he DID was take taxpayer money from ALL AMERICANS and flow it to his campaign contributors, bundlers, unions who support him and those who will be working for his re-election in 2012.

We saw the first wave as payoffs for help in 2008 campaign in the Stimulus Bill that flowed predominantly to the public unions in the states to keep their pension plans solvent. That allowed the unions to keep their members working and producing dues that will eventually be flowed back to the Democrat Party in political contributions.

The Solyndra Scandal flowing money to an Obama campaign cash bundler was the tip of the iceberg. Now we find the Obama White House is flowing billions of dollars to “green” businesses that are owned by his friends and supporters, as well as drug companies that flow money to his re-election campaign.

The spin is always that Democrats are looking out for “the little guy.” The opposite is OBVIOUSLY true. The Democrats are taking the tax dollars Middle Class Americans have worked hard to earn and they are flowing them to their rich friends and family members. While average Americans are scrimping to get by, the money taken for taxes is NOT flowing to the “needier amongst us.”

The Democrats are flowing money to the “richer Americans” while the rest of us are made poorer. Kids are hungry, people are losing their homes, businesses are failing, oil prices are rising, and all as Democrats flow money to the “1%.”

In the meantime, the media totally ignores what is going on, leaving the Democrat Rulers to steal from the less fortunate and give it to the very people the “Occupy” movement was supposed to be protesting.

THIS is what insanity looks like.

Americans Deserve Better.

No Plan Future

As we move further into the Obama Administration we have to wonder where that brilliant plan is we were told about during the last presidential campaign back in 2008. For every issue we were told the Democrats would do it “smarter and better.” Here we are four years later and we have yet to see either “smarter” or “better.” In fact, what we have is “lost” and “no clue.”

Most of us Conservatives knew there was no such plan. It was all a marketing strategy.

One of the best jokes to come out of the Obama Administration and his alliance with the Democrats in Congress has been that they should be the ones to fix the banking industry. I suppose the theory there is that if they broke it they should know how to put back together. I have a mental image of Barney Frank sitting on the floor covered in grease with a wrench in his hand, surrounded by car parts, explaining to us that the car will be back to better than new in just a little while – he knows what he’s doing. There’s a man who – literally – can’t fix a parking ticket without making a massive mess. Yet, we’re supposed to believe he knows what he’s doing to fix the banking industry.

The majority of Americans are beginning to understand it was the government and their dabbling in regulations and placing demands on lenders to give out loans to people who could not afford them that caused the collapse of the housing industry and the bankrupting of the banking system. Years of building in laws that were not only detrimental to the system but also downright contradictory caused confusion and placed burdens on the banks that were nearly impossible to navigate.

After the collapse, TARP and another series of MORE regulations to be sure it “never happens again,” we find a major problem exists in the U.S. Congress – they don’t know what they’re doing. We’ve always known that, but it’s becoming more blatant as we go along. More importantly, it’s no longer a secret. The whole world knows the American Congress has no idea what they are doing.

Our credit rating was downgraded because our Congress – the people who write the banking regulations – have no plan to do even the most rudimentary budgeting. Their plan is to borrow and spend without any kind of a plan. Average Americans, nor our businesses, would ever be allowed to follow that kind of practice if they were trying to get money from the bank. We would have to demonstrate responsibility with money and have a solid plan the bank believed in to get money. However, our Congress has decided to ignore the practices they want the rest of us to follow and go forward without a budget/business plan for… going on three years now… in spite of the fact that they are REQUIRED to have a budget in place.

As a result, we are heading toward another showdown in Congress that is going to force us into another one of these useless standoffs threatening to shut down the government unless another extension is put in place to allow the government to take more money from our kids and grandkids.

Congress MUST come up with a budget/business plan for going forward that restores fiscal sanity to this nation. It probably will not happen with the current tax-and-spend liberals in the Senate to block any moves that would protect us from them, but we have to push on and insist government listen. They need a plan just like businesses that rolls back the budget and repays our debt before we are so far down the road there is no hope for recovery.

As our Ruling Class continues to plunder our treasury and steal from our future to satisfy their needs for power, they are ruining our credit rating and making it impossible for future generations to run the country. Their lawless plundering MUST be brought to an abrupt halt.

The Economic Strain of the Occupy Movement

There are reports in the media every day about the strain local governments are feeling from lack of funds. They tell us they are lacking the money to hire cops, pay teachers, put on firemen and the usual laundry list they use to squeeze more money from taxpayers.

Yet, here we are listening to this same media herald the greatness of a bunch of protestors who are requiring cities to pay millions in overtime pay for cops, sanitation crews and countless other hidden expenses built into protecting, cleaning up after and containing the Occupy Wall Street people. As they chant their speeches into their bullhorns to be repeated by their echo-minded comrades, they are chewing up money that could be spent to send kids to school, put cops somewhere where they are needed and respond to emergencies.

Their concern is not for kids or cops, it’s for building a massive central government with a ‘benevolent dictator’ – whatever that is – to oversee this massive government monster they want created. In other words, they’re looking for a nanny and don’t know how to do it except to have the government make the rest of us provide it for them.

The mainstream media and everyone from President Obama down to the local city councils are behind these people and what they are trying to achieve. The same people telling us they want to raise our taxes. The translation of that is that no matter how much it costs, these kids are part of the Democrat re-election campaign just like the mainstream media. They have all bought into the nanny approach. The kids want it because they want their lives easier and the politicians because it gives them power over the rest of us. They all have one intention – install a powerful central government that forces all of us to do what they want us to do and do it at our expense.
