Barrack's House of Card

Who is going to be saddled with the debt created by BHO's handouts?

While listening to BHO's speech last night, I took notes and began to check some of his talking point facts.

Barrack hates corporate greed so much he hails all CEOs as corrupt and tells them their era of taking private jets is over. Barrack is the president, not the dictator of the country.

Barrack states he desires to set up a slush fund for loans doled out to those requiring student loans, business loans, home loans and even vehicle loans? Does he think about where this money is coming from or going to? From whom is this money coming from he plans on lending: Oh yeah, yours and mine. Who is he planning on lending it to: People who for a multitude of reasons could not secure a loan from a bank that has standards. This sounds like a great enterprise for our GOVERNMENT to explore... right up there with Robin Hood fairies chasing O'Biden Leprechaun gold.

As Barrack continues to spell out how greed is horrible yet, NOW, America is great because of the past accomplishments he completely forgets the fact that it became great because of a less restricted enterprise. The programs he talks about, Apollo, for instance, was indeed fully funded with ridiculous money but is was done so quick and with such an open budget that free enterprise advanced our endeavors. I am an engineer in the Aerospace industry and currently design electronics for spacecraft. Aerospace is a fairly broken industry because of the incredible amount of government money provided on cost plus contracts. Let's continue on the BHO's speech and forget this digression.

BHO begins to describe the horrible state of our healthcare system because it's expensive. Hey, BHO, guess what, you get what you pay for. I heard an incredible claim thatthere is a foreclosure in this country every 30 seconds due to medical debt. Let's examine this claim with some 3rd grade math. There are 60 seconds in a minute, and 60 minutes in an hour culminating in a day, of 24 hours each, so that's 60 s/m * 60 m/hr * 24 hr/dy = 86,400 s / day. Assuming our dear leader has not mislead us, (86,400 s / day) / (30 s / bankruptcy ) = 2,880 bankruptcies / day. Wow, that is problem.... since we have so many people filing bankruptcy per day due to medical reasons I think we should examine how many people are in the same boat due to illegitimate reasons. According to http://www.bankruptcyaction.com/USbankstats.htm there were approximately 822,950 total non-business (people) bankrucpties in 2007.  Then I ran across this interesting paper that states approximately 27% of bankruptcy is primarily due to medical debt. I know our brilliant president wouldn't attempt to walk us down the primrose path but let's just double check our facts. That makes 0.27 mdb / bankruptcy * 822,950  bankruptcies annually = 222,196.5 bankruptcies due primarily to medical debt.  Wait a second, something doesn't appear right here 222,196.5 bankruptcies / 2280 bankruptcies per day = 97 days! Last I checked there were 365 days in a year, but then again since we became a nation of 57 states I might have missed a thing or two.

Health care for an additional 11 million children? I'm glad he's spending my money for that.

Wow, a cure for cancer too accompany the calming of the skies and lowering of the oceans.

Since Teddy Roosevelt healthcare has been a prohibitive cost? Good Lord, please zap this guy with some common sense!

How to compare apples to Volkswagons. 75% of the fastest growing jobs require more than high school and 50% of our people don't have college?

It appears San Fran Grand Nan is a bit hyper tonight.

Commit to 1 year of college, will this be mandated?

Quitting on your country if you don't attend at least one year of college? Hubris.

I appreciate President Obama stating he feels parents are responsible for their children's education. +1.

"A responsibilty to ensure we do not pass on them (children) a debt they can not pay." A fat straw-man.

A deficit we inherited? You must have voted present on those spending bills, eh?

A recovery bill free of earmarks? Apparently that depends upon the definition of earmark. Is is Is.

Ohh, lefty talking point of no-bid contracts in Iraq receives applause. Wow, double-ding, ending cold-war era weapons programs. Just remember TNT is much better at killing than a computer.

"Not one single dime." -- "Read my lips..."
A tax cut for 95% of working families... Can't wait for that check.

That's great, a 10-year budget. Apparently, there will never be another non-pinko president. Arrogance.

I figured it out! The applause sign was broke so they asked the nearest IQ-equivalent individual. Thanks Nancy.

Oops, service men (Thanks for your sacrifice and service) not clapping; Ya, you're on camera smile and clap.

Our economy depends upon the strength of the world's economy? I surely hope not because we don't export much anymore...

I'm done for the night.

Who is John Galt?

Destroy the plumber!

He was honored enough to be allowed to ask BO a question and can you believe the gall of this man.  A man who works with his hands asking a question about taxes; impossible double-plus!

If you disagree with the One, BHO, you shall be destroyed.




This is wrong - the leftists are projecting their motives and actions upon the good people of this country.

Barstool Economics

The following post is a copy and paste I found on a message board.

I have heard this before and would really like to know who wrote this because they have a gift for simplifying a complex point.

Bar Stool Economics

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all
ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes,
it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every
day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the
owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers, he
said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks
for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so
the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.
But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could
they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair
share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they
subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the
sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar
owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by
roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each
should pay.!

And so:

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four
continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men
began to compare their savings.

'I only got a dollar out of the $20,'declared the sixth man. He
pointed to the tenth man,' but he got $10!'

'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar,
too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!'

'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back
when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!'

'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get
anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine
sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the
bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough
money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how
our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the
most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for
being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they
might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat
friendlier.

Barack Hussein Obama is wrong for America.

I have attempted to compile a list that contains enough information to better develop a picture of a man who wants to be our next President. Also, I have tried to keep it succinct therefore there is much I have passed over. Open your web browser and perform your own searches of Obama and use your own discernment to determine if what you find is real or not. A major problem regarding Obama is that his life is very enigmatic. The two books he has authored have been filled with ideas that should require the media to thoroughly question this man.

    h. High progressive taxes; meaning the more you earn the higher the rate you are taxed.
    i. Support for Pre-K, "Zero-to-Five", education. Barrack's Plan -- A massive, unaffordable, and horribly misguided attempt to increase education efficacy through government involvement. If this plan were to be enacted there would be an indoctrination system in place from birth until college graduation.

My fellow Americans - Please do not give this man control of our country. This is especially important while Democrats also control both houses of congress.

If you feel this e-mail has been truthful and speaks to you, I ask you to forward this to everyone you know.

Thank you

Interesting video I found while researching this piece. video
Information on socialism - wiki link

The purpose of the following information is to provide a list of economic and government ideologies; laws enacting such views should not be accepted by the people of the United States of America. Countries that have enacted and currently are governed by these ideologies are not nations we want to emulate. I am not wholly accusing Barrack Obama of being socialist, Marxist, or communist. Although his personal views, his wife's views, his friend's and associate's views, the legislation he has supported and sponsored, and his questionable activities as a community organizer point in that direction.

You be the judge.

"I am not a Marxist."
Karl Marx
 

1. The Communist Manifesto
2. Congressional record outling 1963 goal of Communists in America

Karl Marx 10 Planks of Communism - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Communist_Manifesto

10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto

Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.

  1. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
  2. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
  3. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
  4. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
  5. Centralization of the means of communication and transport in the hands of the State.
  6. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
  7. Equal liability of all to labour. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
  8. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
  9. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labour in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, &c., &c.[4]

According to the Communist Manifesto, all these were prior conditions for a transition from capitalism to communism (but Marx and Engels later expressed a desire to modernize this passage[5]).

Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals


EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES


Thursday, January 10, 1963 (think of that...NONE of these things had yet transpired)


Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policy making positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use "united force" to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.


45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
