2010-2012

Wasn’t TARP supposed to be used to buy up bad loans on homes to save the banks?
Isn’t it still true that all of us taxpayers are still on the hook for more than $400 million for the bailout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac?

Just who decided the Federal Government should be in the home mortgage business anyway?

And who thought it was a good idea to put a private bank (The Federal Reserve) in charge of our economy?

Why did this Federal Reserve keep interests rates so low when the housing bubble continued to grow?

Obama likes to blame republicans and Bush but wasn’t he pushing for low interests rates so “poor people” could afford new homes through his connections at ACORN?

Acorn the community organization that forced our government to loan to people that could not afford a home. ACORN that told a pimp and a prostitute how to get more money from our government and how to claim child prostitutes as “dependants” for tax purposes.

If the stimulus money was supposed to stimulate private sector jobs, why is 90% of the money being spent everywhere but the private sector?

When government bailed out Chrysler and GM, it didn’t bailout the owners of these companies or the bond holders and the people that made it possible for these companies to exist, it bailed out the UAW.

Why is it that the stimulus money that went to the states went to pay union pensions and benefits and to save public union jobs?

Why did Obama give billions to Mexico and Brazil for further off-shore drilling off their coasts when he won’t allow it here? Does he think that a spill off the Mexican or South American border won’t do any damage here?

Why is it that Obama and his cronies continue to push us towards a socialistic state when socialist countries like Greece, France, Russia, Great Brittan and now even China have moved to free market capitalism to expand and benefit their economical system like no other plan can?

We also know that the Democrats are not solely to blame for this. We will remove the rest of those who follow the self righteous path to wealth at the taxpayers’ expense in 2012.

We are slowly working towards a libertarian style of government, just as the democrats slowly moved towards Marxism.

All you politicians’ are on notice. If you vote to increase spending or the size of government, you should probably start looking for a new line of work.

Our Efficient Government

Via the internet; author unknown

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard in the middle of a desert. Congress said, "Someone may steal from it at night."
So they created a night watchman position and hired a person for the job.

Then Congress said, "How does the watchman do his job without instruction?" So they created a planning department and hired two people, one person to write the instructions, and one person to do time studies.

Then Congress said, "How will we know the night watchman is doing the tasks correctly?" So they created a Quality Control department and hired two people, one to do the studies and one to write the reports.

Then Congress said, "How are these people going to get paid?" So they created two positions: a timekeeper and a payroll officer then hired two people.

Then Congress said, "Who will be accountable for all of these people?" So they created an administrative section and hired three people, an Administrative Officer, Assistant Administrative Officer, and a Legal Secretary.

Then Congress said, "We have had this command in operation for one Year and we are $918,000 over budget, we must cutback." So they lay off the night watchman.

NOW slowly, let it sink in… Quietly, we go like sheep to slaughter.

Does anybody remember the reason given for the establishment of the DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY... during the Carter Administration?

Anybody?
Anything?
No?
Didn't think so!

Bottom line. We've spent several hundred billion dollars in support of an agency.... the reason for which not one person who reads this can remember!

Ready?
It was very simple. and at the time, everybody thought it very appropriate.

The Department of Energy was instituted on 8/04/1977
TO LESSEN OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN OIL.

Hey, pretty efficient, huh?

AND NOW IT'S

2010 -- 33 Years later – and the budget for this necessary department is at $24.2 BILLION a year. It has 16,000 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES and approximately100,000 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES and what a fine job it has done!

33 years ago 30% of our oil consumption was foreign imports.
Today 70% of our oil consumption is foreign imports.

Ah, yes -- good old Federal bureaucracy.
Now they want us to turn over control of our banking system, health care and auto industry to these same people and the same methods of mismanagement

Hello!! Anybody Home? Are you awake yet my little SHEEPLE?

NOVEMBER is just a few weeks away. Time to TAKE OUT THE TRASH!
