Well there must be an election coming up as the buzz about Washington DC once again is jobs, jobs, jobs.  403,000 people filed new jobless claims last week. 

Unions are boycotting “Right to Work” states, expounding quite honestly that what “Right to Work” really means is the right to work for a substandard wage which can only drive down our standard of living.

The sheriff of Pinal County, Arizona is reporting that illegals are still crossing our border by the hundreds of thousands.  These illegals are at present working 30 million U.S. jobs at below minimum wage, thus further driving down our standard of living.

So is anything new happening on the job scene?  Yes.  Back when Barry Soetoro was running for President he made the following statement on November 3, 2007: “When I am president, I will end the tax giveaways to companies that ship our jobs overseas, and I will put the money in the pockets of working Americans, and seniors, and homeowners who deserve a break.”  The Prince of Lies, not only have the giveaways not stopped, but the rate our jobs are being shipped out has increased.

Barry recently named CEO of General Electric, Jeff Immelt, to head his Council on Jobs and Investment.  Good call, Barry.  GE reported that their corporate earnings were up 77% in 2010.  GE paid zero federal taxes in 2009 and 2010.  GE received a tax benefit of $2.3 billion in 2010.

It’s another day in paradise, that is if you are among the corporate elite who are enjoying their lives immensely as the tax payer subsidized stock market continues to rise, allowing them to take yet further record profits.  If you are not among the elite this day represents nothing more than the abstract misery you have been living with since the $26 trillion theft was discovered. 

I heard that dirty little Tory piece of tripe Stuart Varney referring the top 1% as “we”.  Yeah, Stuart, we know who you are and we know what you are.  We see you cringe when the price of oil drops offering us hope.  We then see you giggle and clap when the price rises knowing your pockets are going to be filled with more of our money robbed from us at the pump.

As expected Barry Soetoro’s town hall meeting over Facebook was nothing more than a gimmick.  The whole session was scripted and rehearsed and could be considered nothing more than a campaign speech.  Soetoro made sure to include every issue in the predetermined one party framed debate.  That is mentioning unemployment and jobs obscurely, then puckering up and planting a big wet kiss on the collective arses of the illegal aliens.  It was nothing more than one big socialist spit swap.

I’ll tell you what Barry, poor Americans, middle class Americans, Americans et. al. outnumber Hispanics by far.  Though I will say, it is at least logical for you to come out on the side of illegal aliens, seeing as how you are one.  Barry portrayed the illegals as poor misunderstood people who were only doing menial jobs that nobody else wants.  He spoke of farm labor, food service, and child care.  Well I have been around this country and it goes a little further than that.  Construction, shipping, and of course the ever popular illegal drug enterprise are now being worked predominately by illegals.

Gas is expected to go over $4.00 per gallon by summer and the price of basic necessities will follow suit.  And all our government can talk about is the need to cut spending and corporate taxes.  It has now been seven months since both the phony left and phony right came out and said jobs were the number one issue in this country.  And since then, in spite of the lies, we have continued to lose jobs at an unprecedented rate.

The total federal receipts for individual withholding tax for 2008 were $1.146 trillion.  The total for 2009 was $915 billion, a loss of $231 billion.  In 2010 the federal withholding receipts continued to fall another $16 billion to $899 billion.

So let’s take a look at the farm subsidy programs.  For conservation: $4.7 billion.  Price supports: $7.1 billion.  Crop insurance: $3.7 billion.  That is a total of $15.5 billion.  That would pay for a 14 week extension for the 99ers.  So tell me, are you hating these damn farmers yet?  Well I’m not.  The excesses they are showing in the mainstream propaganda are being funneled into the pockets of the corporate farmers, at the same time as what is left of our family farmers are being attacked from every angle, in an effort to run them out of business and allow the corporation to take their land.

It is kind of like attacking the welfare recipient that is living 100% below the poverty level while ignoring the corporate welfare recipients who are out to destroy us all.  It has been common practice for the last 50 years for huge corporate farms to move into an area and start growing and selling crops at a loss for the sole purpose of breaking the family farms.

It would seem that we are seeing a toning down in reference to the assertion that the $26 trillion stolen by the banking elite is going to be paid back with interest by the American people.  In an interview on CNN on Sunday, Rand Paul seemed to have lost his sneer and tone of arrogance and did not say the words, “Social Security” one time.  And Paul Ryan has apparently decided he needs to go out into the general public and find out what the people on the streets want as opposed to the wants put forth from the 80% of the top 10% that bought and paid for his Senate seat. 

Well just in case they are reading these articles, I will make it clear as to what this American wants. Continue reading “99ers HR 589 Supporters – The House Reunited”

99ers and middle class, can any of you still remember clear back to September of 2010?  The midterm elections were afoot and the main issue of the election according to every news source from every venue was jobs, jobs, jobs.   And did I say jobs?  Well we all know what has transpired since then and that has been no jobs, no jobs, no jobs.  And did I say tax cuts for the filthy rich? 

Now apparently a year and a half before the fact, the 2012 presidential campaign is in full swing, and once again it is jobs, jobs, jobs.  I swear these people think they have us trained like dogs.  All they have to do is whistle and we come a running to them with our tongues hanging out for the promise of a pat on the head.

The Congress passed Republicrat Paul Ryan’s budget calling for $6 trillion in cuts over the next ten years.  Among the items to be cut are unemployment insurance, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.  As soon as these dirty little two faced liars got to Washington DC, the first words dribbling out of their mouths were “entitlement cuts.”  It is their claim that Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare are causing our government to go bankrupt.  This is a lie.

When we were all working we were forced to pay into the Social Security retirement insurance trust fund.  Recently there have been numerous rulings in the federal district courts that say, in essence, that individuals cannot be forced to buy a product like insurance against their will.  That is unless the government is the insurance company.

Well we are all now privy to the big meeting that occurred yesterday between Barbara Lee, Bobby Scott, Eric Cantor, and John Boehner.  Barbara Lee said in her press release that Boehner encouraged them to go back and work with the Ways and Means Committee to move this bill forward.  Translation: Go screw yourself, you are not getting anything.

Representative Bobby Scott put forth the assertion that in the past if unemployment was above 7.2%, Congress has designated unemployment insurance as emergency spending.  And I believe that is what the unemployment act states.  But what is in an act?  The supreme law of the land and Supreme Court decisions affirming it are routinely violated and pissed upon every day by the corporations who now run our government.

 Representatives Barbara Lee and Bobby Scott Meet with House Republican Leadership About Emergency Relief for the Long-Term Unemployed
April 14, 2011
Media Contact: Joel Payne, (202) 225-2661

Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Congressman Bobby Scott (D-VA) continued the fight to pass HR 589, the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Expansion Act. Reps. Lee and Scott met today with Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), and discussed the possibility of bringing HR 589 to the House floor for a vote.

Well apparently the meeting between Boehner, Cantor, Lee, and Scott did occur this morning, though it would seem it was a lot to do about nothing.   I have to believe that nothing of substance occurred because if it did Lee and Scott would have been shouting their own praise coming out the door. 

This view is further verified in that in calling Lee’s office I was told that her press agent was out of the office.  He had asked me to call him before I launched further attacks on Barbara Lee.  Continue reading “Barbara Lee, Bobby Scott, Eric Cantor and John Boehner Discuss HR 589 for 99ers”

Senator Rand Paul was front and center on FOX News Wednesday morning announcing plans to attack Social Security.  There is a little bit of tongue twisting propaganda that we are going to straighten out today.  Rand Paul’s and John Boehner’s crews are expounding that they will not raise taxes and in fact are going to cut taxes further for the rich corporations.  Here is the truth.  When the cuts in Social Security and Medicare are made the elderly are going to have to go to their retirement accounts to make up the shortfalls.  That is a tax on retirement accounts. 

Rand Paul says he wants to cut food stamps.  I know nobody gives a damn about the poor so let’s look at it from a different angel.  Families in our military saw an increase in the need for food stamps from $24.9 million in 2007 to $73 million in 2010 and that is just what was spent in commissaries.  Continue reading “99ers HR 589 Supporters – They are Not Going to Give, They are Going to Take More”

Once again Barry Soetoro is being compared to Ronald Regan as he comes forth with a new batch of spending cuts.  I guess you could compare the two in that they both represent rich elitist traitors.  So without a mention of the 99ers or anybody else living like a dog shouldn’t in this country, here they go again. 

Just as a precursor I will let you neo-cons and your new Regan know something right out the gate.  We 99ers and those still left in the middle class are way past tired of being trickled on by the corporate elite.  What every American needs to understand is that Obama and his crew, Boehner and his crew, and Rand Paul and his crew all defecate through the same hole.  We have to see them for what they are; a troupe of actors.  They are handed a script, they practice their parts, and then they put on a performance.  In each performance some wear black hats and some wear white hats and all are shooting for an Academy Award.

Apparently John Boehner was available for interviews on Monday morning as he was trying to repair his relationship with the neo-cons which was damaged when he sold them out in this latest budget deal.  At least we know where Boehner’s priorities lie, which is in kissing the right arses. 

The point is the time he spent doing his “Boehner is a good guy” commercials could have been better spent elsewhere.  I mean what would it take, maybe five minutes to sit down with Barbara Lee and Bobby Scott, laugh in their faces, and tell them HR 589 will pass when pigs fly?  Who knows if he will ever get the time?

Senator Rand Paul has come forth proposing sweeping cuts to spending that he says will get us out of debt.  Of course the budget he is backing contains increases in military spending and more tax cuts for the corporate elite.  I have been a staunch supporter of Senator Paul since he stepped forth purporting his support for the restitution of our Constitution. 

I have something to tell Rand Paul in today’s article and that is I could very easily support and justify  what you are doing if you and the other junior senators will go after and retrieve the $26 trillion stolen by the international corporate mafia from the people of the United States.  But then if you did that it would become hard to justify taking medical care and revenues from the old and the poor.

Well the playoffs are over in Washington DC leaving all the fans on both sides wondering just who won the game.  The neo-cons, who were convinced that they had established a power base in the US Congress, woke up yesterday morning to find they had their throats cut.  And the socialists, who thought they had gotten their own version of Marx into the White House, well I think they are just too stupid to realize what has happened to them.

So who won and who lost in the big budget debate?  Well there was $38.5 billion in spending cuts, but of course $10 billion of that had already been accomplished through the last two riders, leaving a grand total of $28.5 billion in spending cuts.  Hell we have already spent more than that on our brand new war in Libya and bribes to the rest of the countries in the Middle East.

The phony left and phony right continued their good cop/bad cop routine until finally settling on a budget deal in the eleventh hour in an effort to suck the American people back into the false left-right paradigm; the Republicrats saying you must do as we say or our soldiers won’t get paid and the Democans saying you must do what we say or woman will die of cancer.  Hog wash. 

The Republicrats care only for their masters, the defense contractors, who are making billions from three wars in the Middle East and having our troops involved in other people’s business in 130 countries around the world.
