The State of the Union

As of Nov. 7, 2012, our national debt increased by 1/4 of a Trillion Dollars.  And the year is not done yet. Advancing the Obama agenda by increasing taxes of the working will generate less additional taxes than what the deficit has increased thus far this year.

As of Nov. 14, 2012, the head of the CIA, General Petraeus has resigned because of an extramarital affair that could have compromised his effectiveness at the CIA.

As of the election, the public was not made aware of what was known prior to the Libya assassinations by the President or the Sec. of State (Hillary Clinton).  Likewise, Americans were not provided the facts to determine whether the President should be re-elected based upon his non-actions to avert the Libya assassinations.

As of the election, the public was told by the White House that Libya was the result of a comedic video. We soon learned this was not true and CONTRARY to the information provided the White House by the CIA PRIOR TO the video announcement.

As of Nov. 14, 2012, the press continues printing a political agenda opposed to its historical 4th branch of government status to insure that the public is aware of actual events as opposed to political rhetoric. Recent examples are the gov't versions of the Viet Nam War and Watergate opposed to the actual facts elucidated by the press through extensive investigation.

The above non-all-inclusive summary is evidence that our leadership is non-existant and that extraordinary actions are necessary to insure the survival of our once great nation.  Whether we like it or not the following are some actions which must take place recognizing that the Republican House has control of what Federal programs are funded:
1.  Defund Obamacare as we cannot afford its broad sweeping and controversial elements. Further, it places a premium on future medical personnel transferring to some other, less controlled profession.
2.  Eliminate the present free medical care at any medical institution for all non-life threatening illnesses.
3.  Continue a favorable capital gains tax to insure continued investments in the company's that provide jobs in the US.
4.  Redefine the definition of "totally disabled" to insure that able bodied individuals do not become wards of the gov't when they can actually work.
5.  Eliminate the payment of welfare benefits for having children. Americans do not have an inalienable right to have children that the gov't pays for.
6. Defund Section 8 housing payments which contributes to the ruination of the working class suburbs and contributes to the National Debt.
7.  Eliminate the Dept. of Education and substitute it with the Dept. of Employment, one of its purposes to insure that people receiving any type of gov't assistance does not simultaneously work under the table and hence not pay their fair share of taxes.
8. Eliminate all non-essential spending for all politically motivated proposals by both parties.
9. Limit Senatorial terms to 12 years and house terms to 6-8 years.

The bottom line as to the economy is not more taxation but less spending.  We can no longer afford to have 47% of the country on some type of welfare.  We must return to the old days when all peoples regardless of color thought first of obtaining any job to help their progeny opposed to deciding which state to move to which offered the most welfare services.

WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Obama's Foreign Policy?

It's been too long since my last blog. The latest series of Mid Eastern Events has forced me to again pull out the laptop.  One ambassador down and how many to go? Apparently, the administration doesn't care based upon its non-existant foreign policy. Or, I should say, its policy of attempted appeasement to the Muslim World. Not 2 weeks in office and there the "Great Orator" was in the Mid East apologizing for the United States. Apologizing for what--attempting to allow people to govern themselves and have some individual freedoms that we have had for over two hundred years.  Now, 4 years later we have  an extremist Arab World taking advantage of the impression Obama has left on the world. That is, a country that no longer stands for world freedom or a country that has abandoned its allies throughout the world.  With this as a backdrop, the extremists, whether 5 or 10% of the population, has organized an anti-american world wide rally agains freedom and the US.  Civilians, soldiers, an ambassador and countless others were killed because of a lack of foreign policy.  Next, comes the problem with Iran that cannot be ignored. Are we to abandon Israel so that Iran can threaten with a nuclear arsenal within 6-8 months. If this is not stopped now, the post nuclear Iran will be too terrifying to imagine.  Prior to WWII, Chamberlain attempted to appease Hitler.  Worked out well, don't you think. Even in the movie, Mars Attacks the US president's statement (played by Jack Nicholson) "Why can't we all get along" likewise worked out well. No one likes war.  But mankind has been warring since first able to pick up a rock. Perhaps the time has come for an all out confrontation against all these mid east terror groups and Iran before it becomes to late.  While Romney may not be the best, he can only be better than what we have.
