"Stimulus" Fails to Deliver the Relief the President Promised
MARCH 18, 2009
THAT WAS THEN: On February 12, President Obama visited employees at an Illinois Caterpillar plant and said, "when they [Congress] finally pass our plan, I believe it will be a major step forward on our path to economic recovery... the head of Caterpillar, said that if Congress passes our plan, this company will be able to rehire some of the folks who were just laid off. And that's a story I'm confident will be repeated at companies across the country...
" THIS IS NOW: Unfortunately, the Washington Times now reports that Caterpillar has had to cut another 2,400 jobs - with 1,700 of the jobs cut at the plant President Obama recently visited - despite the stimulus.
As the President noted last February, "you can measure America's bottom line by looking at Caterpillar's bottom line:"
america, where is obamas voice on this matter? he made such a big thing about his bill saving jobs for this company & others like it. why hasn't he said anything to the 2,400 people he gave all that hope to? is obama above apoligizing for his failing bill?
well, let's look at it this way...obama wasted no time going to ohio to take credit for the 25 cadets that were hired there (click on this site to view the full story) http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123634274699352379.html he even posed with them & said it was his bill that allowed them to be hired. america, this should show you just what type of character obama lacks::::it's called 'good' character. the proof is in the pudding. take credit for the 'good' things & just 'ignore' the bad ones.

12/11/08 $14 billion dollar bailout
hello america! the following comes from my earlier writings that i had stored on another hard drive that i recently got opened...please enjoy.
hello america! the first thing i want to talk about is the house passing the automakers 14 billion dollar bailout bill. all the democrats voted for it as did just 30 sorry-assed republicans. i cannot beleive that any of the politicians voted for it but, i am not shocked that the dems took the forefront on it (they like spending our money). anyhow, i saw all that c-span showed us &, i absorbed every word spoken. what i found extremely troubling is the dems praising the highpoints of the bill & the safeguards they installed in it &, out of all the hundreds of house members voting, not one idiot (repubs included) got up & asked this: what guarantees do the automakers give us that if they fail to adopt a comprehensible program prior to march 2009 that they will have the 14 billion dollars left to repay us? i know, you know, & those washington idiots know that the we are not going to go out there & buy all the american-made cars at this time. yes, some will but, a lot more won't. people are holding onto their money because of the economy, the housing crisis &, the unstable job market. &, as if they those same idiots didn't know it, it's christmas time & buying a new car is not number one on the list, at least it isn't for most of us.
the american auto industry has not kept pace with their foreign counterparts &, it's going to take years for them to span that gap. their prices are too high, their maintenance plans & services are too high &, their parts are too high. plus, a lot of the foreign imports get better miles per gallon. consider all the above & couple it with the following: the auto industries labor & management costs, healthcare & insurance costs, &, advertizing costs (just to name a few) are all out of wack. washington is telling the automakers to tell its people to make consessions.
with all the problems in the housing & financial markets, getting credit has become even harder &, it's not likely to get easier anytime soon.
i am not an expert on what the auto industry needs to do to become more competitive & show a healthy profit but, i am smart enough to know they can't turn it around with just 14 billion dollars. they'll be back in january asking for more. washington opened this revolving door & i don't blame any company for walking through it. for that matter, the airlines industry is next in line but, that's another story.
it's going to take a long time to get the industry to where they should be & 14 billion dollars just isn't enough. it would not surprise me if one or more file for bankruptcy which is the american way & what they should have done. the industry knew they were having problems long before this bill was even dreamed of & yet, they sat back, kept running like nothing was wrong & now, here they are with their hands out & sorry assed washington helps them.
washington could have at least put in motion a plan for the ceos of these failing companies to repay whatever outrageous bonuses they received. the ceos screwed these companies & should be held accountable in a court of law. the hearings in washington are a joke &, are not as productive as we're led to beleive.
i realize that if the auto industry collaspes there will be wide-spread unemployment & more problems for our economy---i don't want to see anybody lose their job & on the other hand, i don't want to be the one paying through my butt for them to keep it. i beleive that if the auto industry filed for bankruptcy (as did k-mart) they could recover (as did k-mart).
washington is so spend happy which is okay providing they spend the money on worthwhile projects such as healthcare or education. giving 14 billion dollars to the auto industry is just 14 billion dollars we will have to replace.-12/11/08-9:47pm est

OBAMA DID NOT INHERIT THIS MESS
hello america! i am so tired of obama & the democrats telling us that they inherited this financial mess. it's a sorry-assed cop-out. so, i'm here to set the record straight.
the democrats, to include obama, took control of the house & senate in 2006. so, they have been in control for 2 plus years &, didn't do crap to try & avert the mess we're now in. 2 plus years , america &, they say they inherited it.
so, i ask you, what did obama do in the 2 plus years he was a senator in washington? what did he do to try & get a fix on the this financial mess? name the bills he introduced or tried to introduce for tighter regulatory measures on fannie & freddie. for that matter, name me the democrats that introduced or tried to introduce any bills for stronger regulatory measures. can't name any because they did nothing. how quickly they want you to forget that their approval rating was lower then the presidents. & they thanked you for voting them into power by not doing a single thing for you.
how they (the dems) can even open their mouths & pass the blame to others is amazing. &, they are not alone because there are plenty of repubs that did nothing also. but, i'm talking about those dems that say they inherited this mess. it's a lie no matter how you look at it.
history will prove that obama had a direct hand in adding to this mess. anybody care to refute this? come on, take a shot. i can prove what i say.
you have bill clinton signing a little piece of paper back in the early 90's (91) that allowed obama & others to sue lenders to force them to make loans to the less-then-credit-worthy.
you have certain dems that fought against stronger regulatroy measures for the longest---they, & others, fought bush on every time he called for stronger measures. by name they are, chris dodd, barney franks & harry reid & their names come up whenever there was a need to stop stronger measures.
so america, how can they say they inherited it? obama used cra to sue citigroup in 93 to force them to make loans to people that could not afford to repay them. &, he did nothing as a senator in washington to help the american people. can you name anything he did? anything for the good of this country?-----your silence is a hell of an answer>

OBAMA, WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH, SAY SOMETHING.
hello america! obama, the more you talk, the less i hear you say.
again, this past friday, obama opened his mouth & the stock markets fell. i'm telling you there is a direct relationship between what he says & the stock markets reaction---they don't trust him either &, today, being sunday, when geithner offeres his budget plan to us on monday or tuesday, i'm willing to wager that the markets drop even more. obama you say you don't watch the markets daily & yet, you have the nerve to tell us to invest in them?
obama says that closing gitmo poses no threat to our national security---well, that should make it simple:::just let the detainees go. he can't even line up countries for them to go to. what part of that does he not understand? obama, if the detainees own country doesn't want them, to include some of the other radical countries, they must still present a threat. either you are very stupid or you're listening to the wrong people.....i think it's a combination of both.
obama, have you told the american people that for us to produce wind & solar on a massive scale within our borders, it will cost a lot more then you previously told us? with about 80% of the manufacturing market already overseas, it will be harder for us to do it as cheaply as you want us to believe. but you could have told them they we will be the major installers of it.
obama, have you told the american people that one of the reasons for congress to continue to bail out these failing companies is because they have investments in them----didn't think i knew of that, did you?
obama, have you told the american people that congress failed in its duties (to include you) to protect america from the present financial situation because of the campaign money they received & that, i'm asking you to return it & that, that is your main reason for changing the subject to your financial plans for america?
obama, have you told the american people that you have no plans to begin investigations into the actions of those that chaired the various agencies that were supposed to be watching & regulating the financial industry? such as, barney franks, chris dodd, baucus, rangle??? if not, why not? they had to turn their heads in order not to see what has happened. & yet, you want to have your att gen investigate Bush & gitmo. i heard you say something like "open & honest" government---try living up to it.
obama, have you told the american people that by everybody focusing on future bonus payouts, we don't have to focus on the real problems that allowed this mess to happen? i.e...you, acorn & others 'sueing' banks & lenders to force them to give loans to those that were less then credit-worthy--& then you blame Bush because those people couldn't afford to make good on those loans--you're very good at spinning the truth but, i feel you've crossed the line &, have lied to the american people about why we have this economic mess because you had a role in the fall of the housing market &, you can't erase that part of your history. &, i'm not sorry, i do my homework diligently.
obama, have you told the american people just how indebted we are to china? have you told them what's going to happen when china comes to collect that debt? have you told them why you want america to remain in debt to china? i can't hear you.
obama, did you tell the american people that now is the time for the defense department to reduce their budget by at least 10% because now is the time russia is saying they are going to revamp their military & nukes? if you are sincere about going ahead with your plans for the defense department to reduce their budget while you look to do away with 'unproven' weapon systems, you're less american then i previously thought.
obama, i didn't see you on tv at that caterpiller plant telling them that your bailout bill couldn't help them & that you're sorry they had to lay off an additional 2,542 workers after you told them that your bill would stop that. incidentally, how many "poor" people do you think can afford to buy all that new, shiny equipment they produce?
obama, have you told the american people just how feeble your 787 billion dollar bill was & still is? have you told them that it couldn't save 3,000 postal workers from losing their jobs?
obama, have you told the american people that no matter what amount of money you poor into the education system, the quality of education will not be increased until you can improve the quality of that schools atmosphere & the atmosphere of the surrounding area?
obama, i must ask you about your aunt. is she still here &, if so, why? you said you want to get rid of the programs that don't work & yet, she's illegally been here all this time reaping the benefits that the american taxpayers pay for. why? & for how much longer? she was ordered out of the country by a judge---what's the delay? or, are they stalling her deporture while waiting for nancy pelosi to make it legal for her to stay? which is it obama?
obama, have you told the american people that by you banning mexican trucks on our highways, the mexican government is charging us more for their imports to us? congress wrote & passed the bill & you signed it into law & now, you must find a way around it. hindsight could have been avoided if you had allowed congress & the public to review the bill before it was voted on.
obama, have you told america that you are very simular to George Bush? your sticking by sec of treasury, timothy geithner, is very simular to Bush standing by some of his people &, geithner's been telling us about his great plan for america for over a month & still, has told us nothing. plus, afghanistan is turning out like iraq did. where is your heart? &, before long we are going to have to have troops on the borders for mexico & we will get drawn into the fighting in the mountains overseas where we think obama is.
obama, have you told the american people what it will cost them per house-hold to convert to wind or solar? why not? there are figures out there & you have not mentioned any of them, even for a 1-story 1-bedroom home. did you also tell them that the poles & lines might run right through their backyard & that they will have no say in the matter? what did you say? i didn't hear you.
obama, you want americans to support your budget & yet, nothing you have signed into law has worked. why should they trust you now? in fact, you'd rather spend our money overseas on abortions then spend it here on our veterans---sadly & truthfully, that's sad-assed thinking. & even more so when you campaigned on behalf of small businesses & have done very little to help them.
obama, have you told america that your 'carbon tax' or 'cap & trade tax' will ruin most small businesses? why not? yet, you were so quick to jump in front of the camera & take credit for the 25 cadets hired in ohio. be honest with my country.
obama, have you told america that charities are really starting to feel your stupid intentions? why are you so quiet on this subject? I mean, you said you want to raise the tax on the wealthy & restrict what they can write off &, you want to raise the tax on small businesses---why not man up & tell the people that needy charities are hurting because of your plans?
obama, i could go & on, but, hopefully, you got the message. &, if your staff is going through 40,000 letters a day & you only respond to 10 of them to get a cross-view of america, you are full of crap. did you get my letter & if not, why not &, if so, are you man enough to respond to it in public?-----I THOUGHT NOT.
obama, it's a lovely thing to be able to read but, if everytime you have to say something to the american people it has to be tele-prompted, you must not know the subject. YEAH, I KNOW. IT MAKES YOU LOOK GOOD-YEAH, RIGHT.
obama, did you tell america how much it will cost those that lost their jobs to retain their health insurance under your plans? about $1000 per month. & yet, i have people telling me that this is such a great thing...you've got them blinded also. how can you be on unemployment compensation, pay your rent &/or mortgage & your other bills & then, afford an extra $1000 per month for health coverage? (i've got conflicting numbers here but, i think the national figure comes closer to $1,200.)---but, after all, what do i know? i know that when you're receiving unemployment compensation, you are taking home less then when you were working---(you lose about 1/3 at least)---that's a fact that seems to be getting lost in the argument for your plan.
obama, did you tell the american people that you not only signed executive orders in favor of unionized labor but, that you support legislation (which is already floating aroung congress) which will do away with the secret ballot allowing unions to spring up everywhere more easily?
obama, did you tell the american people that those doing work throuth your infrastructure bill, will be paid the same as unionized workers for that area?
obama, it's called trust & you are losing that with the america people-i don't need a survey, i have the people all around me voicing their opinions.
GET REAL & DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THIS GREAT NATION THAT YOU SO SEEMINGLY WANT TO SOCIALIZE.
for someone who talks as well & as much as you do, you really don't say a lot, do you? especially when there is so much out there to talk about. i didn't vote for you because I know more about bin laden then i do you &, i didn't trust you. THANK YOU FOR CONFIRMING MY SKEPTICISM ABOUT YOU.

hello america!
all of the following information comes from the center for responsive politics @ opensecrets.org & is a breakdown of which politician received money from some of the failed &/or failing companies that have received tax payer bailout funds:::::::::as you can see, i've taken the time to put it together for you &, i hope you will take the time to click on each site & then, see for yourselves why we are in this mess today. some of the names you will see at or near the top of every list are the very same people that are that are yelling the loudest for aig bonuses not to be paid out. however, you have not heard one word from these same people about returning one penny they received from these companies. also, please bear in mind that many of our elected officials have investments in these companies...also, this list is by no means complete & there are overseas failing or failed companies not mentioned.

america, if our elected officials are allowed to either reclaim or tax the aig bonuses, they should be 'forced' to return all campaign money they received from aig & any other company that received federal 'bailout' money.
if we allow our elected officials to continue to receive funding from corporations/companies, their oversight of these entities will be clouded & prejudiced towards them. this process has to be outlawed::::chris dodd, barney franks, harry reid, shumer &, rangle are prime examples of this. but, there are also plenty of republicans that turn their head when money is involved. & america, you know i'm right. if you run for office with verizon putting hundreds of thousands of dollars in your campaign war chest, you are going to vote on issues that favor them & vice-verse. &, i would also because i want those dollars in the future. but, the first time i voted on a bill against them, they will go out & find somebody else to back &, i'd lose those dollars.
AMERICA, CONTACT YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS & TELL THEM TO INTRODUCE LEGISLATION 'FORCING' THE 'SITTING' ELECTED OFFICIALS TO RETURN ALL MONEY RECEIVED FROM ALL ENTITIES THAT RECEIVED FEDERAL BAILOUT FUNDS.
ALSO TELL THEM THEY MUST PUT LAWS ON THE BOOKS TO PROHIBIT THEM FROM RECEIVING MONEY FROM COMPANIES/CORPORATIONS WITH NO EXCEPTIONS.
all of the following information comes from the center for responsive politics @ opensecrets.org & is a breakdown of which politician received money from some of the failed &/or failing companies that have received tax payer bailout funds:::::::::as you can see, i've taken the time to put it together for you &, i hope you will take the time to click on each site & then, see for yourselves why we are in this mess today. some of the names you will see at or near the top of every list are the very same people that are that are yelling the loudest for aig bonuses not to be paid out. however, you have not heard one word from these same people about returning one penny they received from these companies. also, please bear in mind that many of our elected officials have investments in these companies...also, this list is by no means complete & there are overseas failing or failed companies not mentioned.

hello america! obama, you talk a good game & i'm here to call you out on it.
you are a punk & i am tired of your punkish ways & here's why.........................
firstly, if you wanted to show america how sincere you are about putting us on the right track, you'd have returned every penny that you received from the companies that received federal bailout money. but no, you havn't even mentioned the millions you've gotten & plan on keeping &/or spent. & yet, you get on tv & say that the AIG execs getting those bonuses is outrageous. that $100,000 plus you received from them is just to be ignored? i don't think so. when they made their decision to give you that money, you didn't complain then------why now? i know you're trying to show the rest of america how concerned & upset you want them to believe you are but, you & i know better &, i'm going to let the rest of america know also.
secondly, you came out of the side of your mouth in touting timothy geithner as the best man for the job...more crap. this weasle is extremely weak & can't function under pressure. so, i ask you, would you hire a child molester to babysit your daughters? would you put your money in a failing/failed bank? would you hire a convicted robber to guard your bank? no to all---why then hire a tax-evader to run the tax department???? spin it all you want & can but, we both know you were & are wrong. geithner is not the man for that position & you would have been better served getting a 'bookie' off the streets of new york to cruch the numbers for america.
thirdly, you talk about inheriting this mess from george bush but, let's be real. you & the rest of our elected officials are the problem. when people see the amounts of money you & the rest of our elected officials--both dems & repubs--received from companies & banks that have received federal bailout money, they too will know exactly why we are in this mess. &, you have the audacity to speak about greed...when all of those entities were stuffing your campaign war chest with their money, you never said anything about greed. &, you're 2-faced &, we both know it. that is just one reason why i cannot, as a true american, blindly support you.
fourthly, you hide behind that rhetoric you keep spewing & you recently said that the buck stops with you. that being the case (but only if you're sincere), tell the american people how you used the very same system you blame george bush for to sue citigroup. please be upfront & honest &, tell them that you & acorn are partly responsible for the present housing/mortgage problems of
today & stop blaming the bush era for it. after all, you sued citygroup to force them to make loans to people that couldn't afford to repay them way back there in 1993.
fifthly, you run around the country putting fear in the american people about this economic mess. &, then you tell them that they can only be 'saved' if congress gets your bills to your desk for your signature.....more crap. your first bill was written in the backrooms of washington, rushed to the floors of the house & senate without giving congress the time to read them & then, the democrat controled congress passed it with extremely little help from the republicans. then you're on the trail again telling us this will save america. i remember when you went to illinios to tout your bill & promising that it would save future jobs at the caterpillar plant. yet, they just recently announced futher cuts of 2,454 more jobs. &, this is why i call you a punk. you went to ohio to take credit for 25 cadets that got hired because of your bill---remember? why aren't you taking credit for the 2,454 lost jobs that your bill couldn't save?
in addition, by not giving congress or the public time to read the bill, things are put in it that shouldn't be there & vice-verse. & now, you want to make amends for that by going after the execs bonus money. that's not right because you have every intention of keeping the campaign money they gave you. what's fair about you can & they can't? but, getting back to the bill::::if i remember correctly, you were the man saying you would bring transparency to the white house. obama, how transparent is geithner & dobbs doing last minute backroom deals on a bill that you say we needed in order to avoid a catastropy we may never recover from? &, because of all the other lies you've told america, i don't believe you did not know about the bonuses...geithner had to have your permission & i don't care what you say. that pansy can't even fart unless he checks with you about it. the open & honest government you promised america is non-existent.
so, yes, i call you a punk & you now know why &, the sorry thing about all this is, you know damn well i'm right.

AMERICA, I'M GETTING THERE
hello america! after a lot of research, i'm right back where i started---the truth.
1.....laws have to be placed on the books (with no loop-holes) that politicians can only accept contributions from individual americans with no exceptions.
2.....laws have to be placed on the books (retroactive) to 'force' our sitting lawmakers to return every penny they received from every entity that received federal 'bailout' funds from the federal government---no exceptions.
3.....laws have to be placed on the books to compel our politicians to account for every penny received & this should be retroactice with #2 above.
4.....laws have to be placed on the books that will give the majority of a city, state &/or the country the power to issue an immediate recall on any elected politician that the majority deems not 'doing their job' & fire them through special elections. no more of this waiting for them to finish out their term. if they lie to us, deceive us or do not actually do the will of the majority they are subject to being recalled.
5.....laws have to be placed on the books that give the public & the politicians ample time to 'proof-read' the bills that they have to vote on. this gives american time to voice their oppinions & it gives politicians time to add &/or weed out crap.
6.....laws have to be placed on the books to ensure that all elected officials have input on the various bills they must then vote on. this law has to be mandatory.
7.....laws have to be placed on the books (retroactive to include all 'sitting' politicians) to make available to the public all facets of their life & if the politician won't or doesn't comply, they cannot be voted into that office.
8.....laws have to be placed on the books that strip our elected officials of the power to vote themselves raises & costs of living adjustments unless they apply them to all americans at the same time.
9.....laws have to be placed on the books that mandate pensions only after 20 years of continuos service.
10...laws have to be placed on the books that all of the above include the president of this great nation on down.
