The economy … it’s the SOCIALISTS stupid …

I have been reading and hearing how Obama has to straighten out the mess that he has been left with since he has been in office.

Shall we consider a couple things here about reality?

Firstly a real leader does not complain about the last administration unless they can not deal with their own responsibilities and they are still campaigning. It is totally classless. Naturally for those very reasons Obama still blames everything on Bush.

His loyal worshipers followers chant this mantra to explain his over abundant spending that really has has less than any impact on the economy. His spending is certainly not about helping the economy but rather encouraging his social agenda for changing America which he sees as the evil of the world.

Indeed the community organizer has spent trillions of dollars not to boost the economy but rather his political clout and make sure that those who took care of him politically are paid in full for further purchases.

For a very brief example here are 10 projects from the stimulus:

1. $1.5 million in "free" stimulus money for a new wastewater treatment plant results in higher utility costs for residents of Perkins, Oklahoma.
2. $1 billion for FutureGen in Mattoon, Illinois is the "biggest earmark of all time" for a power plant that may never work.
3. $15 million for "shovel-ready" repairs to little-used bridges in rural Wisconsin are given priority over widely used bridges that are structurally deficient.
4. $800,000 for little-used John Murtha Airport in Johnstown, Pennsylvania airport to repave a back-up runway; the ‘Airport for Nobody' Has Already Received Tens of Millions in Taxpayer dollars.
5. $3.4 million for a wildlife "eco-passage" in Florida to take animals safely under a busy roadway.
6. Nevada non-profit gets $2 million weatherization contract after recently being fired for same type of work.
7. $1.15 million for installation of a new guard rail for the non-existent Optima Lake in Oklahoma.
8. Nearly $10 million to renovate an abandoned train station that hasn't been used in 30 years.
9. 10,000 dead people get stimulus checks, but the Social Security Administration blames a tough deadline.
10. Town of Union, New York, encouraged to spend a $578,000 grant it did not request for a homelessness problem it claims it does not have.

 

I will list some more in the “Read more” section, But for now, you get the point.

So far Obama’s plans are either for paying off a debt for political favors or for furthering a socialist / fascist plan.

The G.M. Bailout is a perfect example of this. It was bad enough when President Bush gave G.M. Money, and everyone complained. But then Obama threw good money after bad into it to keep them from bankruptcy which he claimed would destroy the economy. Obama put so much money into G.M. that the United States finally became the controlling interest in the giant Automaker. Although Obama says he never wanted to be in the car business. Perhaps he didn’t, but it certainly helped out his constituents. As private dealerships that had been making money, were not a drain on the company at all were closed people started wondering why. The problem with G.M. was that they weren’t selling enough cars, not that the dealerships were costing them money, the dealerships were privately owned.

Well, most of the dealerships that were closed just happened to belong to people who had supported a republican in a financial way. The few democrats who had been closed virtually were all allowed to stay in business after talking with their democratic congressman.

Now about a month after this fiasco, Obama declares that G.M. can not stay afloat and must go bankrupt. Wow, amazing, a company going bankrupt in America, what a thought. So under Obama’s watchful eye the company is broken up and low and behold who gets the majority of stocks? If you thought that it would be the private stock holders who held most of the paper in the company you would be thinking logically but incorrectly.

The Unions who supported Obama were the ones who were slated to get most of the benefits of the bankruptcy. Why? Well of course, they supported Obama in his bid for the White House.

Just another example of the corruption that has plagued this administration like no other.

So lets get back to the original intent of this reality check. The stimulus package that was so absolutely necessary according to Obama or we would have a catastrophic  melt down of our very Country. It was so important that not one member of congress was given time to read the bill before voting on it. There were 9,287 Omnnibus Earmarks in this bill that very few people knew about. Certainly the American people didn’t because although Obama had promised an open government and posting of every piece of legislation for 5 days on the internet prior to voting on it. It was still not even finished when it was voted on and Americans had less than 24 hours to even find it.

Congressman and Senators alike signed the hurried bill in anticipation that it would reach Obama’s desk for immediate signing. Well they were mistaken. Obama had to take the weekend off to go golfing. Not that it matters since less than 10% of the trillion dollar waste package would be spent in the first year. rather the majority of monies were to be paid out during election years. A nice boost for incumbent democrats who want to make sure that they get re-elected.

So of course all of this measure again was necessary because of a Republican President George W. Bush.

When exactly did the market go down? What problems did Bush create that got us mixed up in this mess that Obama had to spend more money in his 5 months in office than all other [residents have spent combined in American History?

Well one good answer would be right at 9/11/01 when our country was attacked with the idea that not only would terrorists make Americans afraid to fly, travel and do business. But stocks had been manipulated to make sure that the economic impact on the United States was devastating.

So was 9/11 the reason? Surely it was the most overwhelming attack on American interests in history. No, it was not the reason that stocks and the economy tumbled to the ground.

Here is a clue, one if by land, two if by sea, three if by democrats. prlamp prlampprlamp

Snap8

Looking at the market chart we can see that in January 1991 there was a slight dip on 9/11 but the recovery was very steady right up until January 1998. From January 1998 to just before January 2000 there was quite an upsurge in the market and economic times were doing MUCH better. people were buying homes, cars and consumer goods at record paces. delinquency and insolvency was at a low.

So what happened? The politics of the war happened and democrats lead the battle cry that war was bad and Bush lied. By January 2002, we had a democratic majority in the house being run by spenders and political pay off artists.

Snap5

Now things start going bad, so what is a Liberal to do? Well Blame Bush of course and make more pay offs for more political favors. Did you notice that I changed he vernacular from “Democrat” to “Liberal”? The Democratic Party has been taken over by Socialist Party members who knew that they could not be elected as “socialists”. So hey changed to the Democratic party and were elected under the democratic platform. But they never really were democrats.

As they lay in the foundation of their Liberal or socialist party agenda you will notice that the stock market and dollar start to fall rapidly. The more “democrats” LIBERALS that get elected to office the further the market goes down.

Snap6

We see a steady decline in all markets until Obama takes office and there is a dramatic dip in the form of a perfect “V” and it does not mean “victory” for America I assure you.

 

What has happened is Obama has infused the economy through Tarp and such with cash. It is an artificial boost in the fact that it was money from the United States Government (Our taxes) pushed directly into the markets as an infusion of money to keep them afloat.

zero

 

The bottom red line in the separate window shows a money flow index infused in majority by taxpayers. Please note that as the red line finally evens out at the end, that the markets dip in response.  The tax money, if not pushed into this economy will force the market to the ground causing the greatest crash in our history.

Can we continue to infuse the markets with tax money? No we can not. Everyone including Obama says that this is “unsustainable” We can not be taxed more. The more we are taxed, the more businesses can not afford to continue employing people. The more people unemployed, the lower the tax base. Already we have hit at a minimum of 9 & 1/2 unemployment rate. Which is far greater than Obama had stated would happen if we did NOT instill his stimulus plan.

No, we should not have allowed his phony stimulus plan to be passed. All it did was make the markets appear to be stronger, but in essence make them weaker. It has made our businesses, markets and economy reliant on tax money to continue. Without taxes being funneled into the now created markets they will crash much worse than Black Tuesday 1929 and create hyperinflation as things stand.

So what is the answer?

We have to take certain steps to correct this situation and correct it Immediately.

1. Contact your congressman and senator a list of your representatives can be found here.

2. Tell them that you oppose further use and spending of the stimulus bill.

3. Tell them that you do not want to see the cap and trade bills (Pelosi Political Payoffs) enacted in any way shape or form. It will only mean much higher costs on energy according to Obama himself and consumer goods that you use. See my post here and watch the video to give you a clue of what is in store with “Cap and Trade” Although global warming is a big buzz word, it has been disproven, but Obama and corrupt politicians don’t want that known.

4. Make sure that you have told your representatives that the health Care bills now being proposed are not something you want to see happen. Most people don’t in reality, the MSM is making things up as they go along with Obama!  In short they will cost you 1/3 of your pay before taxes and provide you with worse care than you already have if you have any medical plan at all. Eventually, Obama wants to have only one health care plan in America and that is HIS health care plan.  This is part of his game that he is playing, flat out LYING and telling people that they will have a choice in health care. But the eventual plan is to do away with health care industries and have only a government run health care. Then they can decide who lives and dies. Already they have stated that it will be more expensive than they thought. So their plan to cut costs is

  • pay doctors less
  • pay for only “successful” treatment (god help you if you have something that is delicate, no one will want to waste their time on you
  • have a system of rationing health care
  • Get more taxes

Do we need health Care for all Americans. Well, no person can be denied treatment because they are not insured in America. However you can be denied health care if you have a plan that is not accepted!

In the plan Obama wants to emulate from Canada they have;

  • A 16% higher cancer death rate in Canada
  • An eight week wait for radiation therapy for cancer patients
  • 42% of Canadians die of colon cancer vs. 31% in the US
  • Cutbacks in diagnostic testing
  • The best meds for chemo therapy are not available
  • No way out of the system; you can't even pay for services yourself
  • *More than a million and a half Canadians say they can't find a family doctor. Some towns hold lotteries to determine who gets a doctor. In Norwood, Ontario, "20/20" videotaped a town clerk pulling the names of the lucky winners out of a lottery box. The losers must wait to see a doctor.

In England, health care is "free" -- as long as you don't mind waiting. People wait so long for dentist appointments that some pull their own teeth. At any one time, half a million people are waiting to get into a British hospital. A British paper reports that one hospital tried to save money by not changing bed sheets. Instead of washing sheets, the staff was encouraged to just turn them over.

Obama is proposing things now in health care that he said John McCain was all wrong for when he was campaigning!

5. How about you demand from your “representative” that the Fed Obama continues to give more power and less accountability to find some missing money like 9 TRILLION dollars worth!

While you have them on the phone or are writing that very nice letter you can tell them that Obama likes to tell the CEO’s of companies not to use their jets to come to Washington when they ask for money, so how about his wife Michelle and kids stop taking weekend get a way's on our tax money in other countries. As Obama and his wife talk about how we all have to make sacrifices in our lives they seem to act much more like another couple in the recent past.

If Obama is really into transparency and you happen to have a very good representative maybe while you have them on the phone or pen and paper in hand if they will have Obama face the same legitimacy test for office that John McCain had to go through to see if he was a natural Born Citizen. That would take care of the problem from the get go.
