Even when Congress isn't supposed to be wasting our tax dollars while on their wonderfully long vacations, Pelosi calls them back to vote on yet another bailout. I thought the bleeding would stop for a few months while they are away but alas, the democrats felt the need to spend spend spend some more. They clearly have an addiction that needs professional help.
$26 billion. Paid for by 'future cuts to food stamps' which democrats turned around and said they will fight to make sure it doesn't happen. So they're trying to make unions happy to vote for them this fall, but fearing they will lose the food stamp crowd, try to appease them as well. What a crock. Just tell us the truth- this will be added to the deficit.
$16 billion for Medicaid, which is just failing and failing. States can't stop overspending and nobody seems even remotely concerned about the payouts being so much more than the intakes. The Heritage Foundation states that 30 states actually added money to their budget assuming the bailouts would continue. Where is the individual responsibility here??? 20 states wind up taking the fall for 30 who can't get their financial houses in order. Sorry, but to those 30 states I would say you are on your own. $10 billion for the union/teacher bailouts. This will 'save 100K jobs' - so you're telling me you have to pay teachers $100,000 EACH??? That is garbage. A good job in any other non-union industry is $50,000. Bring government and union wages in line with real folks and then we'll be able to hire nearly every unemployed soul in the USA. The average private sector employee, with benefits added in, makes something in the 50-60K range. The average government employee makes 110-125K with benefits added in. Nearly DOUBLE! No wonder why this country is quickly falling into debt hell. Some moron union boss from the AFL-CIO says we are not running a deficit or in danger of defaulting. What planet is he from? You don't need much education to become a union boss, as clearly he didn't have to study economics too much.
More reports coming out that private sector isn't hiring, only government is and that's why the unemployment numbers haven't gone up. Well duh. Private sector businesses have NO CLUE what is going to be coming their way in a week, let alone a month, or a year to plan their future. They're just trying to stay afloat until a clear path is set. I pray to God that this fall people in this country stand up and find their voices. We need to take the country back and let businesses know that it's okay to hire- we're not going to double your taxes or add hefty VAT taxes or something of that nature to your business.
I received an email forwarded from my uncle this week discussing a 28th amendment. A few of the important points from this email:
-Members of Congress can retire after one term and receive the same pay the rest of their lives
-Members of Congress do not pay into Social Security
-Members of Congress are exempt from fear of prosecution for sexual harassment
-Members of Congress are exempt from Healthcare Reform
The point of the email is to propose a new amendment to the constitution:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ."
I don't see why this isn't already in the constitution? But I wish we could find a way to get it in there as soon as humanly possible. They cannot possibly understand "normal" people if they're exempt from everything they force upon us!
Side note to Robert Gibbs... put in your two weeks notice, write a book about the inner workings of the Obama administration and come to the right side of politics. Contact Dick Morris for details on how to switch parties effectively.
