Huh.....

[Old Line Dog]

"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

Funny why the news media or anyone else chooses not to name the people who put us in this situation,why not make them pay for their mistakes.What do we have to show for shipping jobs overseas.....large companies see profits when items can be made cheaper eleswhere....well thats good for them,I guess.Meanwhile,we as a country are having to borrow from countries such as China,the same country we shipped thousand of jobs to.Hell,we borrow from them in order for us to conduct wars.Then we still owe them....loose loose situation for us and a win-win situation for them..our troops loose lives for no good cause as far as I can see......both parties are guilty,kind of like another Vietnam.....nobody can see any clear results of those wars where we spend trillions and loose lives.....Where do we benefit?.....We dont.Not at all....:(

It's really simple Reppy. Capitalism...what we use to be...Makes Money for investors and the Company.

If...havin something made overseas, is cheaper for a company...well, There ya go. More profit for the company and the investors.

When ya start beatin up the Capitalist Pigs, The capitalist pigs, just hunker down, lay off, and lay back and wait.

It's a fine line balance between a Capitalist economy...balancing Capitalism and eliments of Socialism.

The balance has tipped. America has gone Socialcist. And your watching the decline of our country brought on by this Marxist president, and the Socialist democrats.

I'm with Ted Cruz. If we're gonna KILL The American Democratic Republic...Let's KILL it in Style!! All The Way!

Enough is enough from Socialist democRATS... NO! You won't negociate? Let the Republic Die.

I'm willin to have my social security payments stop. I'm NOT willing to have socialism and Govt Obamacare imposed on America By the likes of the Marxist Obama and the democRATS.

R.I.P. America. It was a good Ride......257 years....

Umm sounds to me the fault lies squARELY with corporate america not the president. the senate and house are also responsible to a lesser degree for making it legal to do what they do

"Your children's children will live under communism. You American's are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have communism. We won't have to fight you; WE'LL SO WEAKEN YOUR ECONOMY' until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands" Nikita Khrushchev Sept.29 1959 at the U.N. [the time he brought the extra shoe] Pretty prophetic, It is interesting that the congress can make all these socialistic laws for us common folk but they put themselves above us when it deals with their pay and health care!

Wal-Mart vs. The Morons READ TO THE END TO GET THE MESSAGE






1. Americans spend $36,000,000 at Wal-Mart Every hour of every day.



2. This works out to $20,928 profit every minute!



3. Wal-Mart will sell more from January 1 to St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) than Target sells all year.



4. Wal-Mart is bigger than Home Depot + Kroger + Target +Sears + Costco + K-Mart combined.



5. Wal-Mart employs 1. 6 million people, is the world's largest private employer, and most speak English.



6. Wal-Mart is the largest company in the history of the world.



7. Wal-Mart now sells more food than Kroger and Safeway combined, and keep in mind they did this in only fifteen years.



8. During this same period, 31 big supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.



9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.



10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers; this is 1,000 more than it had five years ago.



1 1. This year 7.2 billion different purchasing experiences will occur at Wal-Mart stores. (Earth's population is approximately 6.5 Billion.)



12. 90% of all Americans live within fifteen miles of a Wal-Mart.



You may think that I am complaining, but I am really laying the ground work for suggesting that MAYBE we should hire the guys who run Wal-Mart to fix the economy.



This should be read and understood by all Americans: Democrats, Republicans, EVERYONE!!



To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature



It is now official that the majority of you are corrupt and ineffective:



a.. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 237 years to get it right and it is broke.



b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 77 years to get it
right and it is broke.


c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 74 years to get it right
and it is broke.



d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 48 years to get it right;
$1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the
poor" and they only want more.



e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 47 years to get it right and they are broke.



f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 42 years to get it right
and it is broke.



g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 35 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.



You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our
throats while overspending our tax dollars.



AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??



Folks, keep this circulating. It is very well stated. Maybe it will end up in the e-mails of some of our "duly elected' (they never read anything) and their staff will clue them in on how Americans feel.


AND


We have lost our minds to "Political Correctness"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????


In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , Japan and Turkey ..And Pakistan ........previous home of Bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!



Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no extra aid nor do they get any special breaks--nadda beyond shopping discounts...

AND Congress wants to freeze Social Security payments...


You do know that Congress voted themselves a pay raise for 2013??? Google this--it's true!!!

Just got this from my brother in Fla. thought it was sort of topical. It certainly looks like time to throw all the professional politicians the hell out next election not just the bad one but all of them and start over.

As far as Im concerned Walmart should be called China Mart.Next time you go to one just look at 99% of the items and see where they are made.Like Ive said,both of the Parties in Washington are at fault...they look like grown men but act like kids,some just look like kids.........But.......they actually reflect on all of us.....we elected them.Someone had to put these idiots in office and it was the American people.Its just sad that we have to wait until future elections to vote them out.The only thing that will change the people in Washington is massive protest,meaning America is tired of seeing clowns wearing suits doing nothing in Washington.Good (F) Luck America.
