Our new congress has passed a number of bills that, if passed in the Senate and Whitehouse, would have put the private sector back to work a long time ago. The democrates have controlled our federal government since 2006 and if it was not for oduma and his studge in the Senate, Harry Reid, our economy would have turned around twelve months ago. Barry Soetoro is too pig-headed and stubborn to embrace what actually works……constitutional conservatism.

The president isn’t stuck on stupid the congress and the right wing are. It wasn’t constitution conservatism that got us out of the last great depression, it was a Democratic President with a vision who put in place the Works Progress Administration that built things like Hoover Dam and infrastructure projects across this great country. The right wing or the “Constitutional Conservatives are nothing more than spoiled school yard bullies that pout and push other s around. Their day is over and our day to build and do progressive things has arrived.

OK, one guy on the internet said that E-PLURIBUS-UNUM was our motto up until 1956. Well now, I have a silver dollar dated 1884 in excellent condition. It has E-PLURIBUS-UNUM on one side and In God We Trust on the other side. If the first was the motto, then the god part was putting religion on our currency. God is a state of mind. There is no such being that exists. You religious whacko’s prove it! Congress people are over paid for this nonsense.

This is another example of humans using God for their petty political purposes. We don’t trust God, we try to control God. We expect God to favor “our” positions. In truth, we, as humans, are selfish, mean-spirited, and completely un-Godly.

If it weren’t for Roosevelt’s WPA we wouldn’t have had the infrastructure in place to allow us to get up to speed in supplying the Allies with materials necessary for WWII. It has been the Conservative Republican party of “NO” that has stalled putting Americans back to work rather than admit we have a Black President who can do the job if only allowed. It is a sad testament to our educational system that a relatively small group of people with self interests can hoodwink a large chunk of the populous by blaming a Black Man for the sins of a previous administration. Anyone who is still stuck on the ‘birther” conspiracy needs to get a life and a spell checker.

$10 Trillion Dollar Bush Stimulus Package

I hear rhetoric all the time about the so called failed stimulus package of over $700 billion dollars that is supposed to spur job creation. Yet no one is discussing the $10 Trillion Dollar George W Stimulus Package. Call it what you will the goal was supposed to be the same. Over 10 years later and I think we can safely say that the experiment of unusually low taxes has proved to be a complete failure. Yet it is still being promoted as doing something. At a cost of over $10 Trillion dollars for the first 10 years—– why are we even talking about the paltry $700 billion dollar package when the W Tax Cuts/Stimulus Plan are 10 Trillion every 10 years and renew themselves each 10 year period!!!!!!

Why aren’t these questions being asked???

If lower taxes haven’t helped the economy— have they hurt the economy??? The answer is yes

Just think back to when things started to unravel in our economy. Hey, it was under the Bush Regime. The only thing he did to affect the economy was to LOWER taxes. Just think the only thing he did for the economy ended up killing the most robust economy in the world’s history. Yet these geniuses want to continue to do what caused the collapse.

Incrementally Higher Taxes Creates Jobs

Incrementally higher taxes creates an incentive to hire new employees and purchase the next piece of business equipment, once the business or individual’s income gets close to the next incrementally higher tax rate. The rates are so low now, that it takes the incentive away. Actually it was recently reported that over $1.5 Trillion dollars is sitting on the sidelines. Cash that businesses have hoarded due to the lower tax rates. Lower tax rates puts the “responsibility on business owners” to decide whether to spend the tax savings on business improvements & hiring OR NOT. Businesses have chosen NOT to spend the money saved but rather to show stock holders greater profits and then send these profits to other wealthy individuals in the form of dividends on the profits INSTEAD of spending on hiring or equipment.

Higher or lower taxes is all about who decides when and what to invest in. The lower tax experiment of the Bush regime has proven that when left on their own businesses will decide NOT to hire or invest the saved money from lower taxes. Thus the need for incrementally higher taxes to provide the incentive for them to do just that.

New Gauge that Measures “Efficiency”

That is why since the Bush regime we have seen a new index take center stage. It’s called the “Business Efficiency Rating.” That is a rating that shows how businesses are doing more with less. “Less Hiring and Less Spending on Business Equipment”. Lower taxes actually creates a disincentive to hire and spend. Lower taxes trust business owners to do so on their own with the money saved which has proven doesn’t work.

Now that you understand why low taxes are responsible for the recession, I will reveal to you why it was also “W’s” low taxes that caused the collapse of the real estate mortgage biz.

Supply & Demand for Jobs

Low taxes stalled the hiring process since everyone was simply getting by with the employees they had thus the “demand” for employees was less than the supply”. This caused wages to go flat. They have stayed flat for the last 10 years. Now factor in a low inflation rate of 3.5% compounded over 10 years and you have about 40% inflation over a 10 year period!!!

That means, with wages staying flat, that what ever you bought 10 years ago would cost about 40% more today. So if mama lost her job for only a few months— you could never catch back up and thus the foreclosures began. The subprime mortgages only accounted for a very small % of total failed mortgages. The mortgage implosion was a symptom NOT the cause of our economic problems. The cause of the economic/mortgage/real estate/ implosion was lower taxes!!!!!

This is the same policy being blindly followed today just like the old adage, ” If we say it enough or if we can think it, it must be true whether the thought process holds up to evidence or scrutiny or not. In other words, true or not, people tend to believe whoever it is that is controlling the message.

Media Guilty

That is why the media is as guilty as those promoting the failed policies as we depend on the media to ask the right question, especially when the answers they get don’t make sense. Has the media been intimidated by name calling? Things like Elite Media? Or Liberal Leaning Media?

This country is who we are ONLY because of the high character of journalist who came before you. They have been known for keeping the government and businesses honest.

Where is that level of integrity today?

What exactly is it about God that you trust? Take a look at what is going on in the world and in this country, and if all that is and has been going on is thanks to god, and not to the actions, wisdom or stupidity of the government, then we should demand the Constitution be rewritten, and the First Amendment must include that the USA is basically a theocracy. What a bunch of dimwits we have put into office.

Scoundrels hide behind our flag and their god. We need serious, brilliant thinkers, not good ‘ol boy politics to perpetuate the disasters suffered by the utter cruelty, criminal actions of bribe-taking, and utter thoughtlessness other than self-aggrandizement by our elected men and women who forget to whom they owe their positions of power once the lobbyists come to say “hi guys, care to accept my check to you for a million bucks?”

I have been voting since the 1952 election. Since the TV has become the major dispenser of what’s going on, I watch political TV daily. Never before have I been embarassed for America, but I am now. Who are these morons that wannabe the next nominee from the GOP? These people are the best they could attract. Will there be a book written next year entitled “The Rise and Fall of the Republican Party”?

In God we trust but, in congress we must be crazy to trust these elected senators, congressmen and women. They can’t even vote on important issues facing our country! Mr. President, I hope you could rise above these jerks and get done what you are trying to do for our country. Screw the congress, the Supreme Court should give you Mr. President overriding powers so, you can get on with your job!

Oh, for God’s sake! Its no wonder that this country is going down the drain. If this is what congress is doing, and people are willing to let them continue doing it, then we deserve to fail. I hope something better comes after the collapse of America.

That really takes the cake that the Republicans use In God We Trust, considering that in my opinion, they are conducting their business more like they were the ANTICRIST!!! Don’t worry, republicans, there is a special place in the seven circle of HELL waiting for each and every one of you greedy, unethical, immoral, and anti-american back stabbing, cut throating traitors!

they are trying figure out how to lie enough to mess with our mind and get elected again being an antique out of touch and have stole enough for their family’s retirement

The Republicans are seriously hindering progress. In a time when everything is moving so fast, with the computer and cell phone changingso quickly, why are they still living at the neolithic stage. Republicans think at snail pace, and move at tortoise pace. They act like imbeciles, persons who do not think with their heads but with emotions.

Who else can we trust in? President Obama is doing all that he can to help us get jobs. He can not do it all by himself. He believes in God and he will get the job bill passed.

I have been watching and voting for many of my 60 years. I watched JFK take office, but I have to say in all these years I have never been so ashamed of Congress. You have acted like small children who need to be put on medication for not having a human heart in your entire beings. I was a single Mom and worked my body into early retirement called disability.You Republicans have done everything you can to try and humiliate a brilliant and thinking President of whom I know cares about the people, ALL PEOPLE. He has bent overbackwards confidently relying on your professionalism to do the right thing, but you have surprised us all as to how bigoted,complely malicious and heartless you are. Don’t blame it on God…You are truly showing your true colors of which you have had for years. Thanks to people like you and Mr. Bush you’ve put good Americans left in disaster. Now you want to take away our medicare? I have to use aids to walk, people to help me bathe and dress, and medications to help control pain and bodily functions. I’m sick of you slimy dictators playing with my life, and I’m with most of the U.S. I’s time for the republican party to go!!!!! God Bless President Obama and his second term!!!

WOW, OBAMA IS TOUGH, YOU BETTER VOTE FOR HIM THE NEXT ELECTION, WHY?

1. He told a group of student in Jakarta, Kenya the US Motto is “E pluribus unum.” instead of “In God We Trust.”

2. He rewrote the Deceleration of Independence and quoted more than once “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that each of us are endowed with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” instead of “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

3. The first US President to apologize to the world of the American sins.

4. The First US President to bow to foreign royalty.

Got to love his weak spine of American. YES WE CAN OBAMA 2012.
