I find it extraordinarily moronic that we need to pass a constitutional amendment to get our government officials to work within a budget.
This is a no-brainer for each and every citizen of this country with a 5th grade education or higher but for some reason those with a law degree think they can work “outside the box” and somehow make it happen without one.
The economy is going down for the third time, yet lawmakers in DC see this as an opportunity to make the other side look bad either by raising taxes and spending or not raising taxes and spending. One thing is for sure; doing the same thing over again and again is insanity and there seems to be no shortage of this in the DC beltway.
It’s as simple as the nose on your face for all the rest of the country, but the politicians feel they need to look down upon us and explain that it’s “not that simple” that there are other things to take into consideration, such as who supports them with campaign funds for re-election or which bill they need to vote “for” in order get another politician to vote for a bill they favor.
The only people holding true to what they were elected to do are those birthed from the Tea Party, those who don’t care if they are re-elected, who won’t take a bribe, those that will not only have to explain to their family members but also to the citizens that helped them get elected once they return home.
Going against the tea party is a tough fight as Sen. Harry Reid found out in his re-election bid in 2010. Oil Can Harry had to raise millions to defeat the tea party favorite and Harry had to get contributions from outside his state as there wasn’t enough “local” support for him. Then he had to spend every dime of it to beat Sharon Angle. This so upset Oil Can that he can’t utter a sentence publicly without taking a swing at the tea party.
I write this blog to vent my frustration as I live in a state with two mindless Democratic senators who take months to answer emails; letters or phone calls if they answer at all.
We’re looking at taking one of them out in 2012, Debbie Stabenow, aka Debbie Stab-n-the-back. She is a useless tool, generally voting strictly along party lines, never doing the research to see what the effects her actions will befall our state.
When she does answer a letter (her aide) she gives her stance and why she favors it. She doesn’t care what her constituents favor, only what her party favors. She is not a representative of the people; she is a dictator to the people.
If congress cannot stop their spending ways, then we the people must put a shock collar on them, if they cannot work within a budget, which they have proven they cannot, then they no longer need to work for us.
Because of the way our political system is structured, we will apparently have to pass a balanced budget amendment or this economic disaster may happen again.
John Boehner has done all that he can in the recent months. He needs to step out of the way and let these mentally incompetent democrats do themselves in.

The Obama Budget Plan
Here’s the breakdown on taxing the rich, the Obama Plan.
72 million are what are called “Mega Rich” those that make $10 million a year or more or $720 million
About 315,000 make $1 million to $10 million a year or averaged at $1.5 trillion
Approximately; 4 million make $200,000 to $1 million a year or $400,000,000 a year at the most.
All of this money confiscated together would add up to less than $2 trillion, the deficit is $14 trillion and that all depends on how much we spend each year on our budget and Obama is getting dangerously close to that $4 trillion a year figure, we’ll never catch up
This equates to a family of 4 making $46,000 a year and spending $78,000 a year. How are they going to pay that credit card bill of $32,000?
Does Obama think that he can take all of the money from the rich and give it to the poor?
This was tried a few times in history, it was called communism and it failed everywhere it has been tried.
Why is he hell-bent on taking us there?
What this plan represents is that 5 million Americans pay for the other 330 million.
Does this sound fair?
How many poor people gave you a job?

NJ Gov. Chris Christie
New Jersey governor Chris Christie met with about 150 citizens in a church gym to discuss his tax and budget cuts. One of his cuts he had asked that teachers forego their annual pay increase and pay an additional 1.5% of their annual salary towards their benefits. When the teachers union, National Education Association (NEA) said “NO” Christie was forced to impose cuts.
“Your union said that is the greatest assault on public education in the history of the state," Christie said. "That’s why the union has no credibility, stupid statements like that."
Teacher Rita Wilson, a Kearny resident, argued that if she were paid $3 an hour for the 30 children in her class, she’d be earning $83,000, and she makes nothing near that. Christie told her that her benefits added up to quite a bit to which Wilson, who has a master’s degree, said she was not being compensated for her education and experience, Christie said:
"Well, you know then that you don’t have to do it." The audience cheered and applauded.
If all political leaders had the backbone and intestinal fortitude that Christie is showing, we wouldn’t be in the mess we are in. This country would be thriving beyond all imagination. Politicians are in the game to make the money, plain and simple.
Anybody that believes otherwise deserves to be fleeced.
When we go to the polls in August and November, remember these people are like teenagers, you can let them take the car but you still have to tell them to take the garbage out or clean their rooms. People we elect need to be reminded of why we put them there on a constant basis. It doesn’t take much; a quick email questioning them on an upcoming vote. This gets their attention.

Rant for the Day
Obama and the democrats say that spending under GW Bush was at an all time high when the truth of the matter is that when GW left office, he was at 2.1% of GDP just a few points above the WWII margin of 1.8%.
Under Obama’s plan, we are at now well above 4% and he did that in just one year. Think of the possibilities that he could do in 4 years or more.
Like Gov. Jennifer Granholm gushed in a speech about her plan for Michigan “In five years you are going to be blown away” Well that was the truth only we thought she meant that in a good way, that Michigan would be thriving again and jobs would be abundant, not that we’d lose a million jobs in our state and have another migration of our family, neighbors and friends to Texas and other states.
Texas by the way has no state tax on income and they have a part-time state legislature.
Obama campaigned as a moderate and even a conservative in some instances stating that he would rid Washington of the pork barrel spending by stripping the pork off all bills that came before him. So why was it no surprise when he went ahead and signed the Omnibus Bill with over 9,000 pieces of pork attached to it?
He promised that “no lobbyists would find a job in my cabinet” just two weeks after his election, he had nominated a lobbyist a day; Eric Holder, Tom Vilsack, William Lynn, David Hayes, Mark Patterson and Cecelia Munoz just to name a few. The list continues to grow as you read this.
Obama has toured the world explaining how bad the US and been to other countries and how we are not a Christian nation even though we were founded on Christian principals and that 85% of the country considers themselves to be Christians. He also likes to bow to radical dictators that use violence against their own people and he likes to give leaders of their countries the room to come onto our land and reprimand the American people as evil doers for wanting to protect our sovereignty by supporting our troops and protecting our borders.
This of his double-talk and lies goes on and on and on. I have heard as much as I can take from this man. I prefer to turn the channel whenever he appears on my TV, likewise when I hear him on the radio.
Common sense tells most Americans that this guy is useless and is doing everything he can to destroy our capitalistic ways and our free market system that has served us so well for over 200 years.
