More and more spending!

More and more spending!

Today, the House and Senate will be holding hearings on the 26 billion dollar State Aide package that the President wants to get passed. This is nothing more than a political payoff to State workers and to Union workers. These Unions helped put the President in office.

The President said: “this should not be a partisan issue.” This is not about keeping people working, this is about keeping a Democrat majority and keeping the bribes going to those who are at the top of the Democrat party. This money that is being asked for is money that, once given, will be buried in the accounting books and will be lost in the accountability column. All this does is reward failure and reward those who are not fiscally responsible.

What about the States that have been fiscally responsible? The States that have trimmed their budgets and made the hard choices will be penalized, because they will help foot the bill for a bloated bureaucracy and the mandate that will become the law as a result of the bloated bureaucracy. Where is the choice? Where is the sanity?

There are 30 billion dollars left in the original stimulus package for teachers and union workers. Remember the original stimulus package? The President said if that didn’t pass the crisis would get worse. Well, the Democrats passed it and guess what? The crisis has gotten worse.

We must not forget Fannie May and Freddie Mac. These Public/Government Corporations are asking for 3.3 billion dollars more in public aide to keep them afloat. These institutions currently hold 58% of all the mortgages in the country. When you include the FHA that figure goes up to over 70%. These mortgages are guaranteed by the government. The 3.3 billion is only for the next quarter. These institutions have lost over 7 billion dollars in this year alone!

This is all leaning towards forgiving the mortgage debt for millions. Those who are in trouble with mortgages will get another bail out. This is how the democrats will keep their base. This is the only way the democrats can keep their base. Again, those who have been doing the right thing will bail out those who have not been responsible.

This is all fine and good, if the tax revenues coming into the government made it possible for the government to do this. The problem is the revenues are not there. The problem is the revenues aren’t there, because people are not working. The problem is this President and this administration work on the premise of blank check governing. Just throw more money at it and eventually the problem goes away. It will go away, when we become a socialist country.

If this President lowers taxes or keeps the Bush tax cuts in place he looses his base. He cannot afford to loose more of the base, so he will not make that move. He will spend and spend so that his base comes back. They will look to him for a way out, because they want the redistribution of wealth he can provide!

This is not leadership. This is a false front to keep his leadership.

This is a story that will not end. This is a story that, if left unchecked, will have devastating long term affects on the country and the free world. A story that was written more than 40 years ago details what this President and what this government is now doing. To read more about the scenario of Government, taxes, redistribution and how to do it click on to the link below and read about what Cloward and Piven prescribed. The two sociologists wrote about how to take the system over through the bureaucracy of government and redistributive policies. In an article published in The Nation on May 2, 1966. It is titled: “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty”.

Forward this article on to friends and relatives. It will enlighten them, because of how they proposed doing it. Then compare what is happening now and what was written in 1966.

Rasmussen Reports show that 16% of likely voters say the Congress is doing a good job while 58% rate Congress as doing poorly. Republican candidates hold a seven – point lead over Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot. A new Rasmussen Report national telephone survey finds that 46% of likely voters would vote for their districts Republican Congressional candidate, while 39% would opt for the Democrat opponent. Voters not affiliated with either party prefer the republican candidate by a 46% to 28% margin. In July, the Republicans slipped a point while the number of unaffiliated voters gained a point. This trend demonstrates more support for Independents and those that do not want a status quo candidate.

Part of the organizing strategy is to support those candidates that are not part of the status quo on spending and redistributive policies. Part of the organizing strategy is to support candidates who believe in the Constitution and its intent of limiting government. Question the candidates who have now won the early primary contest and make sure they support less government and do not support the current redistributive policies of the administration and this Congress. Let them know they will be accountable and that the litmus test will be applied to them.

The Democrats will soon be running on the platform that the Republicans drove the car into the ditch and that the Democrats are the ones to pull it out. Don’t be fooled! The Democrats have been in power for 4 years and they have held the White House for two years. This is when the car went into the ditch.

Bill Clinton is out campaigning. There will be a test of who wins. Will it be the candidates that Obama supports or the ones that Bill Clinton supports? This will be the story going forward in the remaining weeks of this year’s primary season.

A footnote: There are 83 days left in this midterm cycle. Yesterday, I asked you to get people in your backyard and to discuss the issues. Today, I gave you two things to talk about: spending and redistributive policies. Don’t forget to send the Cloward and Piven article to those you want in your back yard.
