OBAMA’S Abuseive use of our STIMULUS Dollars

Some have said that the stimulus hasn't saved any jobs, but here is a case where at least one job was saved.

Take for instance Oregon State University Athletic Director Bob DeCarolis. 


Now Mr. DeCarolis was considering firing their Basketball Coach Craig Robinson 



after an 8 -11 start (2-5) in the Pac 10 conference). When word reached Washington , Undersecretary of Education Martha Kanter was dispatched to Corvallis with $17 million in stimulus money for the university.

Thankfully, Craig Robinson's job is safe for another year.

Now comes the interesting part of our story. For those of you unfamiliar with Coach Robinson, he just so happens to be the brother in law of none other than our country's beloved President,



NOW YOUR CATCHING ON......

that's right he is the brother of  Michelle Obama! 



But hey, can't we all come to the conclusion that Coach Robinson's job security was all just a coincidence?

I'm sure of it .... Aren't You?

$17 million dollars for one job?  I wonder what mine is worth?

If this doesn't anger you, nothing will...  remember to vote in November !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Social Security is a pure PONZI Scheme


by Michael Simone
posted on Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Gary Madoff recently received what amounted to a life sentence in prison for running a investment PONZI scheme. He bilked billions of dollars from unsuspecting investors by promising to pay high yield returns on their investments plus the security of their original investment. His problem was he never invested the money he received to pay the promised returns and offered no guarantees to do so. It was all a pyramid scheme and a vale promise with no visible ability to return the investment or pay the return. This is a typical illegal PONZI scheme.

Not unlike Madoff's investment scheme, our Federal Government is conducting the very same illegal investment strategy called Social Security. Social Security is nothing more than an illegal PONZI scheme in that the money we send to Washington is never invested in any instrument or interest baring account to cover the anticipated cash outlay to retirees without ANY guarantee by our government to insure any or all payments to those that have paid in to the scheme.

You heard me right. There is NO GUARANTEE by the government, regardless of how much you paid in, to make any payment to you upon your retirement.

To add insult to injury, all the money we have paid into Social Security System no longer exists. The money we paid into the trust fund has been pilfered by our government to pay for their irresponsible spending on everything BUT our retirement. They have blindly took it for granted that there would be more than enough money coming into the system to cover retiring Americans. Well that is not the case! Not only that, but the Federal government is not even required to pay back the money it has borrowed from the trust fund.

If Gary Madoff can be considered nothing more than a lying, no good, low life thief and common criminal who broke the law by operating an illegal PONZI, then how is it that our government can?  What would you propose Americans do about our Government and the politicians who continue to allow this illegal PONZI scheme to continue? Shouldn't they also be sent to prison?

Unfortunately, its to late to put Franklin Roosevelt in jail for creating this unconstitutional entitlement program (PONZI SCHEME) but we can demand that government repay all the money borrowed from the fund and turn the system over to the private sector jointly administered by the individual account holder. Of course there will need to be certain guidelines on the investment strategy for the managers of these accounts and individual holder to insure unethical or extremely high risk investment.

Putting Government First


by Don Torgersen
posted on Sunday, August 22, 2010

Where a man's purse is, there his heart will be also.

If you would know where the heart of the Obama party is today, consider. In the dog days of August, with temperatures in D.C. rising above 100, Nancy Pelosi called the House back to Washington to enact legislation that could not wait until September.

Purpose: Vote $26 billion to prevent layoffs of state, municipal and county employees whose own governments had decided they had to be let go if they were to meet their constitutional duty to balance their books.

Workers their own governments thought expendable, Congress decided were so essential, it borrowed another 26 thousand million dollars from China to keep them on state and local payrolls.

A nation whose national debt is approaching the size of its gross national product, that goes abroad to borrow money to keep non-essential workers on government payroll is a nation on the way down and out.

And anyone who thinks this Obama party is ever going to cull the armies of tens of millions of government workers or scores of millions of government beneficiaries to put America's house in order is deluding himself.

As long as this Congress and White House remain in power, a U.S. default on its national debt is inevitable. The only question is when.

Nor is this the first time the Obama administration has rushed to save workers whom their own state, city and county governments were prepared to let go. Among the reasons the $800 billion stimulus failed is that so little of it was directed to firing up the locomotive of the economy, the private sector, and so much of it was spent to ensure that government workers did not have to share in the national sacrifice.

Why Pelosi & Co felt compelled to return to D.C., to ensure that state and local government payrolls were not pared, is not hard to understand.

Which party does the American Federation of Teachers; the National Education Association; and the American Federation of State, Municipal and County Employees usually contribute to, work for, vote for? At which of the two party conventions are teachers and government employees hugely over-represented?

Consider, too, the states deepest in debt and facing the largest cuts in employee ranks, pay and benefits: California, Illinois, New York.

In these states, public employees earn at least $10,000 per year more in pay and benefits than the average America worker, who is bailing them out.

Hence, we have a situation where private sector workers in Middle America are being taxed, their children being driven ever deeper into debt to China, so government employees who have greater job security than they do, and earn more in pay and benefits than they will ever earn, can stay in Fat City.

And folks wonder why so many Americans detest government.

In the same week Congress came back to prevent AFSCME from taking a haircut, the Wall Street Journal reported that, in 2009, only three of 52 metro areas with over 1 million in population saw "net earnings and the broader measure of personal income both rise."

Are you surprised to learn Washington, D.C., was among the three?

That same day, USA Today had a startling report on how, during the last decade, U.S. Government workers, like Wall Street bankers, left their fellow Americans in the dust.

"Federal workers have been awarded bigger average pay and benefit increases than private employees for nine years in a row. The compensation gap between federal and private workers has doubled in the past decade.

"Federal civil servants earned average pay and benefits of $123,049 in 2009 while private workers made $61,051 in total compensation. ... The Federal compensation advantage has grown from $30,415 in 2000 to $61,998 last year."

Remarkable. U.S. government workers, who enjoy the greatest job security of any Americans, now earn twice as much in pay and benefits as the average American. This is not the D.C. some of us grew up in.

Nor is this all Obama's doing. For most of the fat years of the federal work force came while Washington was being run by a Congress of Big-Government Conservatives and a White House of Bush-Cheney Republicans.

No wonder the tea party is targeting both parties.

Nevertheless, it is impossible to believe that the Obamaites, who intervened twice and massively with bailouts to prevent minor layoffs of local and state government employees, have the stomach to do the major surgery needed to cut the federal monolith down to size.

For the vast majority of the tens of millions of government workers vote Democratic, as do the vast majority of the scores of millions of beneficiaries of federal, state and local programs.

What Pelosi & Co. were saying with that $26 billion bailout this week is, "We are going to protect our own."

Which is why either Obama, Pelosi, Reid & Co. go, or we are gone.

Federal Reserve Proposed Purchase of Government Debt is Illegal Money Laundering


by Michael Simone
posted on Thursday, August 12, 2010

The Federal Reserves proposed offer to buy up a portion of the National Debt is outright illegal and nothing more than money laundering. Furthermore, Obama administration is conspiring with an entity (the Federal Reserve) who it has no idea even has the money to complete such an action. After all, if we can't audit the reserve or can't look at their books or financial statements then how can government determine the Feds financial ability to fund this deal.

I'll answer that question for them, THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY! In fact they are going to get the money they need from our Treasury which Obama's administration will print up for them. This is PURE SMOKE AND MIRRORS by the Administration. We are giving the FED the money to buy up our debt by creating more debt and inflation through higher Bond Prices and rates.

Aside from the illegality of this transaction, this method has been proven the past not to work and will not work this time. By why am I not surprised that the idiots in Obama's administration will try it anyway. Since their induction, they have continually implemented economic and social programs that time and time again have failed miserably by any Nation that has tried in the past.

Obama and the Progressive Democrats or Republicans in government will leave us nothing, in short time, if we do not bring an end to their reign and fiscal irresponsibility.

Fundamental Change or The Destruction of America Under Obama


by Michael Simone
posted on Thursday, August 05, 2010

President Obama during his presidential campaign for office promised to bring "..fundamental change" if he where elected. At the time all Americans,rightfully so, were thoroughly disgusted with the lack of responsible government in Washington. We were so angered in the direction our country had taken over the past twenty years and wanted real change so much, to bring an end to the out of control politics in DC, that we fell for Obama's trap and rhetoric he was spinning and promising. We all thought his idea of change was for politics in DC with both a fiscally responsible Federal government and elected representative who would use common sense while staunchly uphold our Constitution.

Never, in most Americans wildest dreams did we think, not even for one moment, that what President Obama actually had in mind, was in fact a radical shift in everything our country and Constitution stands for by leading us down a path of Marxist/Socialist policies that historically has been repeatedly proven as oppressive and has always failed. 

Here is a brief list of Obama's plan for "Fundamental Change in America" and the results all Americans can expect if we allow him and other Progressive Democrats and Republicans to implement.

Government Run & Controlled Programs and Policies:

  • Health Care
  • Education & Our Children
  • Religion as redefined by government
  • Housing - Where you can live & who can own
  • What we can and cannot eat
  • Energy
  • Environment & proposed Cap & Trade
  • Unions and Labor
  • Small Business & Industry
  • Banks, Financial Markets and Monetary Systems
  • Press, Media & Entertainment
  • Expansion of Unlimited Power to the Executive Branch of Government
  • Circumvention of the Constitution by Congressional Action

All of the above can and will ONLY lead us into total collapse and destruction of our Republic, the Constitution and our Democratic Country and Society! As a result in allowing Obama's and the Progressives to enact the above we will be granting government ultimate power and control over the States and people. 

If we allow Obama and the Progressives to expand governments control over us we can assuredly expect the following to occur as history has proven over and over again.

Leading Us Into:

  • Government Designated Health Care and/or determined Euthanasia
    • Creation of an illegal Health care Entitlement Program we not only can't afford but grants government control over our medical decision leads only to rationing and euthanasia
  • Excessively high unemployment
    • Now over 20% Since Obama took office
  • Excessive & Wasteful government Spending
    • National Debt in excess of $103 Trillion Dollars including the $13 Trillion due now and expotentially growing under Obama
  • Over Taxation
    • Federal, State, Local and sales taxes now consume nearly 80% of our income & threatening to soon go up even more
  • Redistribution of Wealth
    • This is Stealing or Theft by Government and breaks the spirit and will of the entrepreneur not to mention our laws
  • Elimination of the 1st & 2nd Amendments
    • This is just the start in governments plan for eliminating and replacing our Bill of Rights
  • The Loss of Freedom of Religion
    • Government will establish a Collective Religion rooted in the belief that we are only redeemed when we all share in the same misery
  • Loss of Property and Persuit of Happiness
    • Government now controls or owns over 80% of all our Mortgages or Homes through foreclosure.
  • A Government Monarchy
    • With a lack of Term Limits & severe penalties Politicians believe they are above reproach and the law
  • Eventually a Global Government
    • This is already occurring through our participation and support in the United Nations.
  • Government Designated Jobs & Employment
    • Through controlled Education, Business & Industry government dictates who you work for and how much you earn
  • Government Oppression
  • Poverty & Social Unrest
  • Slavery
  • Tyranny
  • All Ultimately Leading to total Anarchy

Any student of history can readily see the anticipated progression above as a result of Marxist/Socialist policies and practices. I don't believe this is what our Founding Fathers perceived for this Country nor that any common sensed liberal or conservative minded American desires for our Country.

We must act and ACT NOW! We must overthrow Government by removing the Progressive minded, elitist, corrupt politicians from office as quickly as possible and replace them with representatives who share our similar values for the right kind of change. A smaller less powerful government that is controlled and remains subservient to the will of We The People.
