hello america! one day we'll wake up & ask, "where did it all go wrong?". well, we can blame our reps in government for a lot of it but, the honest answer lies a lot deeper &, you are not going to like it.

somewhere in our past, we stopped 'buying america' &, in retrospect, it seems like it was just yesterday when all we bought was america. our cars, clothing, footwear & just about every other product you can name, was made & sold in america to americans. &, even though we had our ups & downs, we were doing okay. & bam! overnight we were reduced to a nation that couldn't help but buy something imported.

when was the last time you looked on a product to see where it was made? &, when was the last time you didn't buy it because it wasn't made here? (for a lot of you, if you did this tomorrow, it would be your first time.) no, our markets are flooded with foreign made products:::cell phones, computers, clothing, sneakers &, even the auto market. it would not surprise me to see "made in korea" on our flag staff.

OBAMA, BAILOUTS DON'T WORK & YOU WENT TO HARVARD

hello america! it's astonishing to know that our federal government has all this money of ours at their disposal &, they haven't even put a single bandaid on a single scratch. truely, astonishing!

from all of our money that was doled out under george bush to what obama is sitting on &, not one penny has helped slow this economic free-fall? any idiot that can almost add 1 plus 1 knows that there is something very wrong with this setting.

we have bailed out: the auto industry; the banking industry; the housing market; &, the wall street industry (fannie & freddie) & nothing was accomplished. now, we must bail them out again
&, more of nothing will be accomplished. when will those in charge learn? when will we learn & step up & let our voices be heard?

america, how many times will we bailout fannie mae before we understand that giving them money doesn't work? how much money will we continue to give to bank of america before we realize that giving them money doesn't work? how long will we continue to give money to the auto industry before we discover it doesn't work? how long people?

&, as soon as we give them some money, they're back for more. &, they know they're going to get it. look at american express trying to change so it can get some of our money. &, our experts in the federal government say they're too big for us to let them fall. we play the selective game of who we will help & who we won't. look at girly-boy barney franks ushering 12 million dollars of tarp money to a failing bank in his own state---one united bank in boston. then look at some of the other banks that we let go under because they didn't have a powerful congressperson standing up for them. it's not only a shame, it has to be a misuse of authority & should be investigated & punished. as is the case of harry reid's hi-speed rail service from las vegas to los angeles.

all that money & yet, foreclosures are stilling occuring daily; banks still aren't lending; the big 3 in the auto industry still can't sell their products. we gave citibank/group all that money & now we're getting ready to "nationalize" them.

america, it seems cruel to say this but, we need to keep the federal government out of the private sector-period. i realize that a lot more people will end up unemployed but, even after those industries got our money, they continue to lay-off workers. so, giving them money is not the answer. these companies, if left to fend for themselves, will figure out a way to survive. case in point, k-mart. another case in point, ford motor company.

yes, our unemployment lines will grow & that's where the federal dollars could be of good use. & yes, welfare & health. &, we as a people, would support those that deserved to be supported until the bad times turned to good ones. we already support a welfare system where everyone on it is not needy.

obama, bailout the country-not the businesses.

OBAMA, HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED

hello america! please tell me that i'm wrong......

already the pro-obama biased media is trying to set george bush up for obamas spending::

350 billion dollars bush released to obama that obama requested & is just sitting there;
758 billion dollar bill obama signed into law;
450 billion dollars about to go through congress; that's

1trillion, 558 billion dollars &, it all has to go to obama. & guess what america, there's more coming...bet on it. but, more importantly one should ask, why do you need all of this money before you have a well constructed plan to use it?

the stock markets are direct reflectors of all this spending without a well thought out plan. & obamas rhetoric about what he wants to do with the money is opposite of what he actually does.
the stock markets know 'bad money' when they see it &, the money & plans coming out of washington are 'bad'. in fact, wall street knows money better then the whole us government put together.

WHY RAISE THE TAXES NOW?

hello america! the more obama talks, the more the stock market falls. you see, they know him like i do. he tells you one thing & does the opposite. this has always been his M.O.

well, you voted for change & that's what you're getting. obama is about to change a lot of things & his changes will have a direct effect on your life style. here's just a few:::

obama wants to raise the taxes on businesses &, that is not going to go over well. he is going to force those that run those businesses to look elsewhere to do business or close up. he is about to create a bigger unemployment problem then the present one. history will show that we have lost a lot of companies because of taxes. what messege is obama not understanding? either he is deaf & blind or, he has his own agenda for this country & folks, it's not a good one. perhaps obama doesn't see the big companies down-sizing , folding up, moving overseas, &/or filing for bankruptcy. when you charge them more, you end up hurting the little guy. it's a fact.

obama wants to raise the taxes on the wealthy &, that is not going to go over well. for one thing, it's the wealthy ones that own or run a lot of the businesses in this country. it's the wealthy ones that fund a lot of the charities that america needs. if obama thinks he can 'force' them to pay more & get less, he's going to cause them to do less & spend less. who do you think buys those big-end items? who do you think buys those multi-million dollar homes? who do think owns those private lear jets? now, you may not like this but, when you go messing with their money, there are going to be negative repercusions for this nation on a massive scale.

obama wants to raise the capitol gains tax. this is basically a tax on profit &, it will be designed to
hit the rich. all of the above arguements are all in play here.

as is becoming very usual with obama, he is wrong when it comes to raising any taxes at this time. if anything, he should be lowering them to provide incentives for the wealthy & businesses to spend more & retain more employees.

obama took an oath to protect & defend this country...there should be something added to that oath about screwing the people he's there to serve.

OBAMA-STILL NO GOOD NEWS!

hello america! by now you've awakened to the news that obamas 75 billion dollar bailout for homeowners is really a piece of crap---small wonder, huh? it seems that just 5 states are going to get the bulk of that money &, without knowing who they are yet, i'll bet you can find a big-named congressperson from that state attached to it. if you listen to what obama tells you-it sounds fine but, when he converts his words to actions, his actions are in dirrect conflict with his words. he said this 75 billion dollars was for those that played by the rules but, you are about to see that is not the case. this money will bailout more of those that havn't earned it. you shall see.

another problem with obamas bill is this: most states have welfare programs that 'force' able-bodied persons to seek employment or training for employment------however, if states accept this welfare money, they must revamp their programs to reflect that no able-bodied person has to seek employment. go figure......

citibank/citigroup, just after obama siad the government would not take it over, will bail them out again & take 40% control of it. this is partial nationalization-it is also an experiment & if it works, the other banks needing help will also fall into federal hands. i love it.

want more bad news---that group (acorn) that obama gave grants to, worked for, worked with &, sued citigroup for, is on the move again---they say that just because you can't afford your home is no reason to be kicked out of it. please bear in mind that obamas bill, which is now law, opens the door for them to recieve up to 4.5 million dollars of your money. happy aren't you?

surely, there can't be any more bad news, right? wrong! obama is going to unveil his budget plans &, i can tell you now, you are about to pay. it won't affect me because i'm going to hang up my working clothes. oh, one more thing..all those people living in those free rentals because of katrina, just got an extention from obama. why leave a rent free dwelling to go & find one you have to pay for?

obama, you truely are everything i thought you were. i'm sorry to see that you so fooled america but, i have no worry about you being elected another term...i have to just get through this one with your sorry butt.

DOING TOO MUCH VERSES DOING NOTHING AL ALL

hello america! i don't use this site to spread fear or pessimism. i do use it to speak my mind as truthfully as i can &, although i don't leave 'links' to back up what i write, feel free to ask any questions you may have. i will provide that backup to you. that being said, i must say the following.

is there a danger in doing too much as opposed to not doing anything at all? well, the answer lies in whether or not the doing is 'constructive & productive' verses whether or not the not doing will solve its own problems. one might say that only time will tell. but, but most americans are smart & usually know the difference between soft cotton balls & mushy, smelly dog turds. as i said, most americans are smart but, sometimes you have to get them to dig down deep within themselves to pull out the right anwsers-----&, for them, this is their lucky day because i, knowitall, shall do the digging for them.

in obamas haste to get something done for the 'good' of this country, you have to really look hard at whatall he really did...he's closing gitmo & stopped the trials; he's allowing "our" money to fund foreign abortions; he's allowing labor unions to take the forefront for federally funded jobs & building; he's allowed 350 billion dollars to just sit around doing nothing since his swearing in; he's broken his own rules about transparency & high ethics; he pressured congress with a deadline to pass a bogus non-stimulative bill that he signed into law; he's trying to bring the census department into the whitehouse under his control; he's allowing illegal aliens to get health care without proper documentation at our expense; he's going to dole out 75 billion dollars of our money to try & keep people in their homes; he raised the federal tax on cigarettes a minimum of $.62 per pack; he did relatively little to ensure bipartisan support; he's giving our money to some states that don't even want it & they have no say in the matter; he's preparing to allow the
federal gov to take control & run some of the banks; he's about to re-enact the 'fairness doctrine'; he's planning to institute a 'universal health care system' for this country; he's planning to reveal his fiscal budget that will be all about spending; he's forcing states to raise the unemployment compensation tax if they accept the unemployment bailout money; he's using our money to build a high-speed rail service from las vegas to los angeles; he's preparing to allow about 12 million illegal aliens to gain citizenship; he's using hilary clinton to keep the pressure on china for them to continue buying our 'debts'; &, although there is more, let's just end it with this::::he's all over tv & running around the country spreading his 'doom & gloom' crap instead of instilling confidence in the american people; &, he's expanded government at our expense.

so, yes there is a danger in trying to do too much, too fast-as opposed to not doing anything at all. in the case of obama, it is a grave danger.

STOP THE BAILOUTS, PLEASE

hello america! obama, from day 1, has been telling us just how dire our present situation is &, i have a problem with that. obama is playing on our fears. he's very good at that. america, in your heart, you know that no matter what the government does, this nation will come out on top. what mr pessimistic obama seems to have forgotten is, america is the people, not the government &, in dire times, we are at our best as a people. we will help those truely in need without being asked to. when the chips are down, we stand up-always have/always will.

a little trip back in history would be good for obama & his crew...this country was founded by the people-not government...remember the boston tea party & paul revere? remember all the disasters we've been through? we were there with donations, goods, services & open arms &, when we couldn't do any of that, we were there with the tv & prayers.

we are going through some very tough times but, in time, we will recover. yes, the loss of jobs is hard on families but, we've been losing jobs since the beginning of time. but, for the government to come in just start passing out my money in order for some of the people to keep those jobs is wrong. we didn't bail out the airlines indusry &, although they are still having problems, they're still putting those planes in the air. k-mart went bankrupt, layed off lots of people---look at it now &, they didn't get a bailout. yes, those laid off went through some tough times but, has anyone taken the time to do a study on their regrowth?

america, the auto industry got a bailout that didn't help a bit. they are back at the table for more &, after they get it, they'll be back for even more. what's the point of bailing them out if they're only going to turn around & lay off more workers. wasn't that the main purpose of the bailout to keep their employees employed? besides, american made cars are not going to sell---they're cheaply made, drink too much gas &, cost to much---it's that simple. i think it's ironic to say they're american made when damn near everything on them is imported.

another reason i'm against bailing them out is:::if those union workers making $24-$45 per hour didn't put anything away for a rainy day, that's on them. but they've got obama on their side &, he's partial to union labor.

america, none of the bailouts have done what they were designed to do. they just don't & won't work.

they bailed out the banks & the banks froze the loans, bought another bank, merged with other banks &, won't disclose how that money was spent. yeah, help them some more.

they bailed out the auto industry & they are still laying off workers & not making a product worthy of money. yeap, they reall y need our help.

they bailed out fannie & freddy & homes are still being foreclosed on & the ceos are still making big bucks. obama, please tripple what you first wanto give them.

america, our government needs to stick to running the country, not business. fannie & freddy are examples of why they should they should just let the chips fall where they may...we will recover on our own.
