It’s reported in the Federal Government’s “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program” (www.cbo.gov/budget) that in 2008 there were 28.2 million people on Foodstamps, and in 2011 there were 45.7 million people, an increase of 62%… and the budget for 2008 was $34.9 billion, and in 2011 the Foodstamp budget was $78 billion, an increase of 123%… This is spending gone amuck… We need to stop this madness and tell the U.S. citizenry what parents told their children when I was growing up: “Sorry, but we can’t afford it!”…
Today, January 6, 2012, I went online to see what percentages “Flat Taxers” were proposing these days, and to my astonishment, I couldn’t find one site/blog/sentence anywhere giving a rate structure…
How can anyone with common sense be supportive of a “Flat Tax” when no one is telling us what the rate will be?!?
“You’ve got to vote for it to find out what it is!!!” is not going to work this time…
Fess-up or Shut-up “Flat Tax Proponents!!!”
It’s nice to read today Jimmy Rollins of the Philadelphia Phillies worked out a contract with his team and he’ll be in Phillies’ Pinstripes for years to come…
When so many players seem to go with the biggest offer, and teams’ management play “hard ball’ and don’t look to really keep an important player, it’s refreshing to see both sides sit back, take deep breaths, and then truly bargain for a great player to stay with a great team…
The rest of the Major League Baseball – and Football, Basketball, Hockey, and World Football (Soccor to U.S. folk) – should take note… Both the managemants and players… We the Fans (you know, the people who pay for every dollar you make) will appreciate it!!!
All states have the right to secure its territory from Illegal Entry from Foreign Countries.
It’s in the U.S. Constitution.
Article One, Section 10 allows States to defend themselves against invasion when endangered. And both civilians and military have been murdered by illegal immigrants within our borders.
Our Federal Branches of governing have not done more than a token gesture to stopping this invasion.
We need to act NOW and secure our Country.
I’m calling for the Conservatives to DEMAND new Oil Refineries be built (and Privately Funded) in the U.S.A. immediately!!!
And then Conservatives must DEMAND Oil and Gas drilling (Privately Funded) in the U.S.A. be expanded ASAPossible!!!
These two measures will not only lower Oil and Gas prices in the U.S.A., but it’ll produce a larger surplus World-Wide, thus lowering Oil snd Gas prices “Across-The-Board!?!”
With the Primaries coming up, we Conservatives MUST nominate the MOST CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES at ALL levels of Government: Local, State, and Federal!!
The more CONSERVATIVE the candidates, the more CONSERVATIVE our Government Officials will be… And the more CONSERVATIVE our Government Officials are, the more CONSERVATIVE our Governmental Budgets will be…
And that will be the best thing for our FUTURE!!!
We the People are about to determine the future of our Republic in 2012…
We’ll either vote candidates into our House and Senate who’ll STOP Deficit Spending and begin PAYING DOWN our Debt, or we’ll allow our current type of politicians to spend U.S. into DEFAULT!!!
Next year’s elections are critical!!! We MUST realize 2012 is NO JOKING MATTER!!! We Conservatives MUST WIN!!!
November elections are only a couple of weeks away…
Conservatives must get out and vote…
Electing the most Conservative people this year not only strengthens our base locally and state-wide, but it sends a clear message to the National candidates next year:
Middle-of-the-Road Politics isn’t good enough any more…
Don’t lean Right…
It’s time to turn Right!!!
President Obama’s Administration is on the verge of spending $13 billion to run the “Keystone XL Pipeline” from Alberta, Canada to Texas oil refineries by the end of 2013.
That’s 1700 miles of foreign oil flowing across our Heartland until technology someday in the next 100 years makes oil despensible, and the President says it’s needed to create 20.000 jobs (albiet for less than 2 years) at a time when we need an economic boost.
But we as a nation can’t allow pumping oil off our own shores, or using newly found Ohio/Pennsylvanian shale oil deposits, or using already known western states’ shale oil to create tens of thousands of jobs for 100 years.
No! This would allow us to be virtually oil independent for the first time in more than half a century!! And this is totally against a Liberal President’s mindset!!!
Illegal’s pouring in from Mexico… Oil pouring in from Canada… For our President, it doesn’t get any better!!!!
The above “Keystone XL Pipeline” figures are from Robert Longley on About.com from September 6, 2011… The above newly found Ohio shale oil deposits are from macellusdrilling.com from July 29, 2011… The above newly found Pennsylvania shale oil deposits are from slideshare.net from August 31, 2011… The above known western states’ shale oil is from U.S. Energy Information Administration at Online Address 205.254.135.24 from May 9, 2011…
This is a daily scenario of the U.S. Congress’ and President Obama’s mad dash to pass a 2012 Budget with an inevitable Debt Ceiling increase…
July 28, 2011:
The following information is from thehill.com and foxnews.com, July 28, 2011…
The U.S. House of Representatives is looking to pass a 2012 Budget being crafted by Speaker Boehner. However, there are several “Tea Party” Republicans who are currently opposed to his Budget, saying there needs to be more spending cuts. So, today is all about the ability of the Speaker to convince the Republican decenters to keep the Republican majority together as a voting block and pass his Bill. It’s important to the 2012 elections to show the country the Republicans are united in truly reducing the Deficit, and sending a solid message to the Democratic Senate – the body who hasn’t passed a Budget in over 2 years, even with a “Super Majority” – as well as President Obama, a message THEY NEED TO COMPROMISE or THEY’LL BE TO BLAME FOR ANY DEFAULTING!!! This would have Senator Reid and every Senate Democrat stare at being the first Senate to EVER DEFAULT OUR NATION!!! And
it’ll have President Obama look at his legacy becoming THE FIRST PRESIDENT TO HAVE OUR NATION DEFAULT ON HIS WATCH!!!
July 29, 2011:
So, the House passed the Speaker’s Budget, the Senate “tabled it” to non-voting status – effectively “killing” the Bill – and now Senator Reid is giving his own Budget allowing the President to raise the Debt Ceiling at his own descretion… This isn’t giving President Obama a “blank check,” because even a “blank check” is limited to how much money is in that checking account… This is giving the President an American Express Card “with no spending limit!!!!” It seems the Democratic Libs are doing their best to Bankrupt U.S.!!!
August 1, 2011:
So, it seems Speaker Boehner has decided to endorse the Senate’s Budget for FY 2012 which will cut a whopping $2.1 trillion-$2.6 trillion off Federal spending over the next 10 years! This means our deficit for 2012 will be in the $1.6 trillion ballpark!! With figures like this, it’s going to be interesting to see if Speaker Boehner can get the votes needed, even with House Democrat support!!!
