hello america!!! i could never run for an office or become a politician. i'm too blunt, honest speaking &, i look at both sides of the issue before i decide which side i'm on. i like to call it like i see it. i not only believe in GOD, i also fear HIM & some of my feelings are rooted in my christian beliefs. please don't get me wrong, i am far from being a saint & unfortunately, i don't always strive to be the best that i can be---has something to do with being retired, lazy &, getting older by the day. however, as you can see from this blog site, i do try to stay up to the minute on what's going on in my country as it relates to politics, congress, the white house &, the economy.............&, as you can also see, 15 out of 10 times i have something to say...........
good people, as i wait for the results of the wisconsin recall vote i'm struck by something that seems to excape the majority of our congress members...........&, that is: what gov walker (& others like him) did in wisconsin is happening all over the country &, party lines are no longer a barrier. case in point; illinois is attempting to do the very same thing gov walker did however, the difference is, the democrats control illinois & the media is quiet on this, as is obama....for that matter, even the unions are very quiet.
the problem is, our gov't (at all levels) cannot sustain the union contracts...it's just that simple. dress it up all you want, spin it any way you can, in the end, the problem will still be that gov't (at all levels) cannot sustain the union contracts. &, here's why..........
unemployment feeds the problem like 'miracle grow' in your garden. less jobs = less taxes collected; less jobs = less money being spent in the community's; less jobs = merchants paying less taxes; less jobs = less growth; less jobs = gov't (at all levels) finding ways to come up with money; less jobs = public, unionized worker's still demand their same pay & same benefits......................&, if you care to remember all of those demonstrations in wisconsin when those benefits were 'tampered' with.
from the fed gov't on down, we cannot continue to take in less & pay out more. it's putting us all in a big hole we may never recover from.....we dug ourselves into this mess & it's pure stupidity to continue digging. however, there are some dems (obamas one of them) that honestly don't think we dug far enough. actually, obama wants to give the states more money for the teachers, policemen &, firemen (& yes, we need them but at what costs?)
to fix the problem means war---just ask gov walker...speaking of which, election results are coming in & with 16% of the precincts reporting, gov walker is doing great so, please forgive me for not finishing this now because i'm going to watch the rest of the results.......

OBAMA, FIX THE PROBLEM FIRST!!!
hello america!!! this is one of those things makes you go hmmm!!!!
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-06-05/students-pay-slm-9-25-on-exploitive-loans-for-college.html
no matter how you look at it, it is a big problem &, it's not going away regardless of what congress does or doesn't do. & yes, obama can holler until he's blue but, there's a bigger problem then the interests rates & freezing them......
if obama freezes the rates, it really won't help the students...if congress were somehow to wipe out their debt, it would only hurt the people that invested their money with the banks...if the students just ignore the payments, their credit rating will suffer & the banks may seize there car or other property. besides, what good does a college education if you can only find a job at home depot?
the problem is 2-fold. colleges are making money off these students, hand over fist, & reaping all the rewards while charging the students for everything they can think of...congress needs to look at ways for the colleges to return money it makes from the students back to the students...biggest 2 examples are; march madness & the bcs bowl......look at all the money these colleges make off of the students during college football season, college basketball season, college baseball season, etc. &, the tv ratings are off the chain during the championship runs...most, if not all, needs to be applied to tuitions across the board...college sports is a very lucrative business.........
college tuitions seem to go up every year. congress needs to form an independent study group to find out why & if the new rates are worth it. without even having any facts in front of me, i just know that salary's are going up. congress needs to bring the tuition costs back in line with reality. colleges are making 'profits' from the students...yes, higher learning should cost more then high school's but, it has reached a point where it has become too much.............
the 2nd part of this problem is perhaps the biggest part...employment.......where are these students going to work after they obtain their degree's? for that matter, where are they going to work while getting those degree's? unfortunately, the majority of these students may have to seek employment at jobs way below their degree scale. until our jobs markets open up, their student degree's will never pan out...

OBAMA, DO YOU EVEN KNOW ABOUT THIS???
hello america!!! i am not one that allows events i can't control to give me a headache however, these 2 links do.

http://www.rt.com/news/russia-china-meeting-moscow/
at a time when obama is allowing leaks of our secrets, dividing the country, fund raising all over the country &, not doing anything to stop the cuts in our defense department, russia & china's teaming up, scares me. & please, don't forget what obama gave up in reference to our nuke compared to russia's...
russia & china as a team are unbeatable short of nuking them &, i don't have enough faith in obama to feel he has the balls to do that...neither one of them like us & yet, we call them our 'friends'...well, if you accept that, how come we weren't invited to the party?
they are going to end up weakening our dollar & that alone is disastrous..

OBAMA, CAN YOU TALK???
hello america!!! i guess we're all waiting to see what's going to happen at the polls in wisconsin. my thoughts are, gov walker will be re-elected. that said, why aren't those protesting idiots up in arms in illinois--see here--
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/05/02/budget-dilemma-looms-for-illinois-democrats/
i wrote about this friday/may 4th "obama, i'll bet you don't even trust yourself" &, as of today, i've not read or heard anything else about it which, brings me back to this: the dems control illinois & they want to do the same thing that gov walker did & yet, there are no demonstrations there. why not?
i don't know what other media outlets wrote about this story but, the only one i found that day just happened to be on foxnews. i would have thought they would be asking obama, the politicians, & the public the same questions i'm asking. where is the outrage? how dare you mess with public workers union contracts! where's the demand for the recall? how can you want union workers to contribute more for their own healthcare?
obamas always preaching 'fairness' so i ask him, what's fair about him bashing gov walker & the wisconsin repubs actions, not saying anything about those 14 dems fleeing the state so as not to have to vote, condoning the demonstrations, supporting the recall &, supporting the dem mayor's run for that seat &, at the same time, not even mention what's going on in his home state???? &, as usual, the media is giving him a free ride on it...
obama, if you'd have done at least 1/2 of what gov walker did, your being re-elected would be a landslide.

OBAMA, FOOD STAMPS OVER JOBS, WHAT A GUY!!!
hello america!!! here's your daily jobs situation-----one day, i'd like to visit this site & see no layoffs, bankruptcy's or closings but, unless we get somebody to run the country that understands how america works, that day won't be soon.....http://www.dailyjobcuts.com/ &, i'd like to draw your attention to the article about family's on foodstamps...how can any leader of any country tout this as a good thing???? the sad thing is: since the 1st, this site has reported 27 closings & over 4,000 people laid off......
good people, you may side with twisted facts however, at the end of the day, you'll still have the truth staring you in the face & if you choose to ignore it, please do so at your own peril. here it is 3 1/2 years later & all we now 'KNOW' about obama is his record as our 'so-called' leader. his past is still sealed to us & the media & that alone should make you skeptical...in truth, we didn't know then (& we don't know any more now) about his college grades, where he lived, etc....there are 'gaps' in his life & we have only his word to take for his life & he has proven himself to be a LIAR...better yet, take the time to wikipedia him & then, do the same with gov mitt romney or pres bill clinton---you have to notice the difference---there is very little about obama except his record since being elected----THAT HAS TO BE SCARY!!!!!!
america, even if you are one of those people that only read the headlines, you have to wonder how come obama does not talk about all those 'good' things he did for this country. all he talks about are, 'i can fix it if you'll give me 4 more years'...what happened to all of those 'promises' & 'achievements' during his first 4 years? are we just supposed to forget them? yes, he may have a problem with the repub controlled house of reps however allow me to remind you that during his 1st 2 years, he didn't need the repubs support or votes for anything he wanted---case in point; his stimulus & obamacare---had he of spent those 1st two years on putting america back to work (instead of obamacare), the dems would never have lost their majority in the house...&, this is not 'hind-sight', it's the truth...
yeah, i know, knowitall, you really don't know crap---so be it---i know the truth & i speak the truth. if obama had of done his job like he was supposed to, i (& others like me) would not be writing these blogs...there are at least 2 sides to every story &, i'm here to give you mine.......
in the face of only 69,000 jobs added in may & the unemployment rate inching up to 8.2% (in reality, it's right around 15% but the fed gov't uses the 'lower' figure), if you think that obamas passing obamacare was a great thing then here's why---you won't like it---
in order to justify obamacare in lieu of job growth, one has to use this reasoning:::obama knew he could do nothing to help the jobs market & obamacare was created to help the backlash, i.e; more money for community healthcare centers (they are expecting 1.3 million new people) &, making it easier to get food stamps &, healthcare coverage.........while neither one is good for the growth of this nation, had obama went to the american people like this: america' i am not 'business' oriented & the people that i hired let me & you down however, i've done some things to help ease the burden of your job loss & that's why i wanted obamacare..........america, i hate to admit it but, i would have accepted that instead of accepting him blaming everybody & everything but himself.
however, at the end of the day, we still have the facts::::by the end of this year, he will have passed pres bush's record for putting people on food stamps & he has already added more to the fed debt in 3 1/2 years then pres bush did in 8 full years. you do the math....
after all this time, obama finally said, he can 'fix' obamacare in his next term meaning, he knows it is broken & bad for this nation....
