Does your budget break the currant spending law?
At a Budget Committee hearing yesterday, OMB Acting Director Jeffrey Zients refused, under direct questioning from Sen. Sessions, to answer whether the president's budget would increase spending over current-law levels.
The White House has repeatedly claimed that their budget contains $2.50 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax increases. In truth, the budget plan submitted by the president would increase spending by $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years relative to current projections. Over that time, the federal government will spend a total of $47 trillion, up from $45.5 trillion projected under the already enacted Budget Control Act—producing by the president's own projections an additional $11.2 trillion in gross debt.
To view a detailed breakdown of proposed spending increases using numbers from President Obama's own budget, please click here:http://1.usa.gov/yRREwf.
Does anyone in their right mind want to re-elect Mr. Obama and continue with his agenda of lies.
Does you wish to continue his attack on Americas economy, religion and tax payers?
Please vote no in November.

Congress, a simple explanation
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, a Flock of chickens, a School of fish and a Gaggle of geese.
However, less widely known is a Pride of lions, a Murder of crows (as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens), an Exaltation of doves and, presumably because they look so wise, a Parliament of owls.
Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.
I guess that pretty much explains the things in Washington!

So what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?
Believe it or not ....... A Congress!

Congress and Morals, any wonder why we have a mess?
535 members of the
United States Congress
36 have been accused of spousal abuse (must be why they have friends with benefits like Bill did)
7 have been arrested for fraud (and that was before being elected!)
19 have been accused of writing bad checks (not if they really are members of the US congress, they all are writing checks that can’t be paid. We barrow 42 cents of every dollar from China just to pay their check writing habit!)
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses (I didn’t know that many had business experience, and we wonder why the country is broke?)
3 have done time for assault (well, wouldn’t want to discriminate would we?)
71, I repeat 71
Cannot get a credit card due to bad credit (Hmmm, this adds to the ones who bankrupted their own business?)
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges (that depends on what the definition of is, is)
8 have been arrested for shoplifting (Now that is bad because they would not be paying taxes on those stolen items!)
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, (So, what about all of them suing the states over immigration?)
And
84 have been arrested for drunk driving
In the last year ! (Teddy lives on through his congressional buddy’s)
This group of Idiots, crank out
hundreds of new laws each year
designed to keep the rest of us in line.
Opps, forgot the smartest man in America, sure, that’s right Mr. President, we have 57 states…
I wonder, what does he smoke at night?

America's debt limit
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that "the buck stops here." Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better".
-- Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

The Mad American unloads on Obama!
Obama is a socialist freak!
Listen to this Mad Man;
1. He is supposed to be the leader, yet he spends 90% of his time fund raising and only in the last couple of weeks does he attempt to deal with the National Debt.
2. Because of his radical views, he was unable to pass a budget, even when his own party controlled both houses of congress.
3. The House of Reps has put forth plans (more than once) to address the budget and now the debt ceiling, yet those plans have been demagogue by Obama. Harry Reid in the Senate will not even allow the plan from the house to be heard, much less voted on. What a coward!
4. Obama now blames everyone else (house of representatives) for his own lack of understanding and leadership.
5. Obama talks about working stiffs, ordinary folks…what does he know about Americans??? He grew up outside of America. He did not work as a child nor did his parents instill any work ethic into him. He knows nothing about working people. His anti American father who Obama admires and wrote about, had nothing but contempt for America, just as the church Obama chose to attend has.
6. Obama rants in his press conference about us knowing we are getting a raw deal. Obama knows nothing! Did he see the last election??? America does not want his socialist agenda!
7. Obama says we are mad at everyone, he is wrong again, we are mad at him and his liberal cronies.
8. Our commander and freak says we no matter how hard we work, we can’t keep up. Keep up with what? Keep up with how you spend money you freak!
9. This A..hole has the balls to stand up in front of American television, and tell us that what we are looking for is someone to stand up and look out for us. I would like to slap this idiot! We are Americans, we can stand up for ourselves, we always have and we always will! We stood up when the largest republican victory was just achieved! Obama, if you want to be king over someone, LEAVE America and go find some sheep to rule over!
10. To say that all we are looking for is someone to take care of us is an insult! Get out of that office and out of our country! Americans can take care of themselves if the government will stay out of the way and stop handicapping us! Obama is attempting to take us where people all over the world, are trying to get out of, government oppression.
11. In his public rant he attacks Americans that stand up for their beliefs. He insults people we chose to listen to on the radio and the news programs we chose to watch.
12. Obama makes it very clear that he has no integrity. A pledge to the American people means nothing to him. A pledge during a political campaign, is nothing more than words spoken to appease the ignorant, unwashed masses in Obamas view. His word, spoken or written down is meaningless. He said so!
13. He talks about worrying about a primary fight…those are his thoughts, Obama owns those. I have heard nothing like that from anyone else. They are concerned about budges, deficits and Americas future. Obama is the one breaking records attending fund raisers and gearing up for re-election.
Obama is a Socialist pig! His agenda should be destroyed before he and his liberal supporters destroy America as we have known it!
If you still support Obama, SHAME ON YOU!
Mad American.

Congress, Taxes, Deficits and who is to Blame?
A very interesting column. COMPLETELY NEUTRAL.
Be sure to Read the Poem at the end.
Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel...
Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel...
He has been a journalist for 49 years.
He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.
Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.
This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering!
==================================================================
545 vs. 300,000,000 People - By Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does.
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want. If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in Iraq and Afghanistan ....
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They and they alone, have the power.
They and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees...
We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
