CNN Money Report
"Each job cost $248,000 to create." CNN Money Report
Obama's stimulus plan has not all been spent. I don't believe he's printed enough $ yet.
Through September the jobs "saved" and created cost you and me $248,000 each! Nearly a quarter of a million dollars each!
It would have been cheaper to write a check to each tax filer for $15,000 and step back. Some would have saved it, some would have bought down personal debt, and many would have spent part or all of it.
Note: paid down debt puts more $ back into the banks and makes it available for new loans.
We have been ripped off. When will we say Enough is Enough?

Robin Obama
Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor.
B. Obama steals from the "rich" and gives to the entitled to redistribute the wealth.
Thieves both.
Why bring down the upper class rather than raise the lower one?
It's called work. Opportunities abound for the moment. Soon we will be early 20th century Russia.

Watch H1N1
We've all heard about the disappointing delays in the production of the Swine Flu vaccine. I have no idea where the misleading began but here we are watching people desperate for the shots.
But one more thing. Unlike other flu shots when distributions are through the production companies and their reps to doctors, clinics, etc., this year the government is in charge of the distribution. Uncle Sam cut out the free flow of enterprise. He must know best.
The shots come through federal distribution systems to the states and then the local level government.
Watch with me as we see the efficiency of the government in charge. Watch the lines allowed to form 6 hours in advance when the government only has 1,200 or 1,500 shots. People are allowed to stand in line for the all important swine flu shot.
The government will let them stand and wait. Will the government let us stand and wait for medical help? Will we return day after day hoping the doctor will see us? That's what I watched 2 days in Toronto. Two of the same men were standing in the line outside the clinic doors in line, hoping that the doctor would be available to them.

Tax Credit Fraud
You have probably heard of the tax credit for first time home buyers. It is the reason house sales were so greatly increased last month. The plan is set to expire in November.
So far, the IRS has uncovered $139,000,000 in fraudulent tax credit claims.
Over 500 claims were filed by individuals under 18 years of age.
The youngest uncovered so far is 4 years old!
Beyond that, there have been over 50 IRS employees who have claimed this tax credit fraudulently.
How many more will be filing for this tax claim with their 2009 returns? How many more tax frauds will be revealed?
And, the bigger question, will they be persecuted or will they invoke the Charley Rangle clause.

Addicted to Shiny
This is not an original thought. I heard Dave Ramsey on the radio yesterday and loved the analogy.
America is like a bass. There are times when bass (the fish, not the instrument) will bite on anything shiny. Many artificial lures are metal and constructed to swivel or turn in the water reflecting the sun.
America is like a hungry bass. If it's shiny, we'll bite.
We want shiny cars. Shiny new houses. Shiny electronics. Shiny boats.
We can't get enough shiny things. We will use our credit cards without thinking just to get more shiny things.
America has to stop biting on shiny things. We need to stop before we buy.
No more shiny things.

Bananas?
New Hampshire Republican Sen. Judd Gregg said, "the Obama administration’s projections the budget deficit for the next ten years is $1 trillion per year."
We are on the road to becoming a Banana Republic. I knew he didn't mean the stylish clothing shop at the mall.
The Senator thinks if we continue spending, we will become a banana republic. That is a pejorative term for a country that is politically unstable, dependent on limited agriculture, and ruled by a small, self-elected, wealthy, and corrupt clique.
Unstable, corrupt. I would add defeated and dependent. Terms not used before for the United States of America.
Unstable and corrupt. Let us turn this around.

Smear Campaign
The White House has declared war on Fox News. They have isolated that one network and have stated repeatedly that they are an arm of the Republican Party. Fox News broadcasts false stories.
Isolate and destroy.
If you do not watch or have never watched or listened to a recovering alcoholic from the great Northwest, you might miss their real target. He is not a journalist. He is an opinion man.
His little show was the first to show the videos of Acorn aiding a prostitute on setting up a brothel with under age, imported sex slaves.
His show called out Van Jones by playing videos of his true agenda. Shining the spotlight.
His show just aired video of another White House figure declaring publicly this year her favorite philosophers. Mother Teresa can be an inspiration but her other was Mao. Mao! Does anyone remember Mao? Does this society so love a winner that we forget the lives taken back in the late 1940s? Millions and millions of women, children, elderly. For the Communist revolution.
This White House has also declared war on talk radio in general. The plan is set to take down talk radio. Isolate and destroy.
Will anyone stand up? Will we lose the freedom of speech before we lose the rest of our freedoms?
This week the National Chamber of Commerce said they have begun a large campaign to further better understanding of free enterprise, capitalism. Why should this country need education about free enterprise? What has happened to us?
Is it because the largest growing section is government? Threats again capitalism.
Isolate and destroy.

Generous
Our generous president wishes to give $250 to everyone on Social Security. He says he's sad they did not get an increase. How generous.
How generous with our money. But that's just the way he is.
It would soften the blow when, due to those nasty Republicans, the government reduces the amout of coverage our elderly and unable to work will receive through Medicare.
Those nasty Republicans who don't have enough votes to accomplish one thing. Not one thing.
Our president is wonderful giving money to people. However, like the lady in Detroit who applied for $3,000 extra aid when asked where the President got the money to give her, "he's the president." She and others recorded that day last week had no idea except it [the money]was from Obama and they sure love Obama.
Sounds like vote purchasing? No. He's just generous. Albeit with your money and mine.

Health Reform Passed
We will soon have health reform. Well, in 2013 we will have reform. Until then we will pay higher taxes in several different ways to cover costs ahead. Like a jump start toward the near trillion debt.
Will everyone have coverage? No. It is estimated 26 million will still be without insurance.
Will illegals have coverage? Yes. Several million will receive coverage.
Will abortions be covered? Likely as they are considered a medical procedure.
Will this legislation be cost negative? No. Bigger debts than ever.
Will costs go down for those who have insurance coverage? No. Costs will rise across the board plus those with sub par coverage will have to purchase much more expensive policies or rely on government run system. {Sub par will be defined eventually.}
Will there be a public government run health coverage? Yes. Those who are penalized by higher and higher insurance costs will need to be covered. This was Obama's goal all along.
He has dedicated himself to bigger and bigger government. He and his like will enslave us all. Bigger government. Less and less freedoms. Enslaving our lives to the decisions of government.
What can we do? Vote everyone of them out of office. Everyone of them. No matter what party. Out, out out.
Let's only elect people with private sector experience. I am serious. These 20 and 30 year senators and representatives have no clue about profits, meeting payroll, answering to a Board of Directors, and the like. Some of them can't even pay their personal taxes! Out, out, out.

Secret Bill
The secret Obamacare bill will be voted on today. It's a secret because they don't want to make the same mistake they made in the summer. Posting HR3200 on line only caused all those nasty racist citizens to show up at town hall meetings. That will not happen again.
To avoid their ignorant constituents, Congress will vote for what is best for us. There's no need for us to know what it is, who crafted it, and what the cost will really be.
There are rumors that not everyone will be made to have health coverage. Well, there will be a small penalty for the young and healthy but it's much lower than the cost of actual coverage.
There are rumors that abortions will be covered as they are considered medical procedures.
All Americans will be covered. Mexico is in North America. Brazil, Argentina and Peru are in South America. All Americans.
Stay tuned and watch today. I will be watching Fox News just because the White House has declared war on that network. As I recall Nixon declared war on a big newspaper. That didn't work so well for him. I think it was a Washington or a New York rag.

Value Added Tax
Now there's more talk about an value added tax! Oh no.
Will it be added at the cash register? Can it be avoided by buying on line? Do companies pay this tax?
The answer is no. It is added to an item as it is made.
An example would be a hot dog. Value added to a wienie? Yes.
When the meat is slaughtered and cut, tax added. When the spices are packaged to send to the food processor, tax added. When the dog is mixed, stuffed, cooked, and packaged - tax added.
It adds on and on and on and we get to pay the increase hidden in the cost of that package of hot dogs.
It's like the statement that corporations don't pay taxes. You smile and think of course they do. It's a known fact that the US has some of the highest corporate taxes in the world.
Well, the corporate may remit the $ but you can bet they recoup it through sales. It becomes a cost of doing business covered by income. You and I pay those high corporate taxes.
Value added tax is another way to get $ from all of us. Including those who make less, much less, than the $200,000 income limit that our Noble Peace Prize winning president swore he would not tax.

Mixed Messages
The White House put out a statement earlier this week saying that Americans are saving too much. We need to be spending more. Doing our part to help the economy.
Tim "Tax Cheat" Geithner, in Germany for some mysterious reason, proclaims that Americans are not saving enough. We are not putting aside $ for the future, for retirement and for college. It would help our economy if we all saved more.
Then there's the Charlie Rangle thing. He still hasn't straightened out things with the IRS. Remember, he's the head of that important group in Congress than writes the tax codes. Plus, he hasn't come clean about overlooked assets to the tune of a half million. Today was the day he would be stepping aside. Not!
Mixed messages all around. No common sense. No reasoning. No focus.
