"US Presidential Race Still Close"

US Presidential Race Still Close

​​​​At a morning rally in New Hampshire, Romney repeated his criticism of President Obama's record, telling supporters that the president has not been able to deliver on the promises he made.
"[Obama] said he was going to be the post-partisan president, but he's been the most partisan, dividing and demonizing," said Romney.  "He said he was going to cut the deficit in half. He's doubled it. He said he would focus on jobs. Instead he focused on Obamacare that kills jobs. He said he'd bring health insurance down $2,500 a year, the cost of it for the average family. Anybody here had their insurance go down $2,500? Matter of fact, the average is up $3,000 per family."

Comment.....I don't know but I have a funny feeling we are going to have a new President?

“Charley Reese's Final Column”

is is something I have been saying for a long time…Please read on… 

This is Charley Reese's final column for the Orlando Sentinel....He has been a journalist for 49 years. He is retiring and this is HIS LAST COLUMN.  Be sure to read the Tax List at the end.  This is about as clear and easy to understand as it can be. The article below is completely neutral, neither anti-republican or democrat. Charlie Reese, a retired reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, has hit the nail directly on the head, defining clearly who it is that in the final analysis must assume responsibility for the judgments made that impact each one of us every day. It's a short but good read. Worth the time. Worth remembering! 
 
                              “545 vs. 300,000,000 People”    
                                    By Charlie Reese 
   
   Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?  Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes? 
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The President does. 
You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. 
You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does. 
You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does. 
You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does. 
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one President, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. 
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.  
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a President to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. 
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party. 
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall.  No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating  deficits. The President can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. 
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? John Boehner. He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow House members, not the President, can approve any budget they want.  If the President vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to. 
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal  government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. 
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. 
If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. 
If the Army & Marines are in Iraq and Afghanistan it's because they want them in  Iraq and Afghanistan ... 
If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way. 
There are no insoluble government problems. 
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. 
Those 545 people, and they  alone, are responsible. 
They, and they alone, have the power. 
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses. 
Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees... 
We should vote all of  them out of office and clean up their mess! 
Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando  Sentinel  Newspaper. 
What you do with this article now that you have read it... is up to you. 
This might be funny if it weren't so  true. 
Be sure to read all the way to the end: 
   Tax his land, 
   Tax his bed, 
   Tax the table, 
   At which he's fed. 
   Tax his tractor, 
   Tax his mule, 
   Teach him taxes 
   Are the rule. 
   Tax his work, 
   Tax his pay, 
   He works for 
   peanuts anyway!

   Tax his cigars, 
   Tax his beers, 
   If he cries 
   Tax his tears.. 
   Tax his car, 
   Tax his gas, 
   Find other ways 
   To tax his ass. 
   Tax all he has 
   Then let him know 
   That you won't be done 
   Till he has no dough. 
   When he screams and hollers; 
   Then tax him some more, 
   Tax him till 
   He's good and sore. 
   Then tax his coffin, 
   Tax his grave, 
   Tax the sod in 
   Which he's laid... 
   Put these words 
   Upon his tomb, 
   'Taxes drove me 
   to my doom...' 
   When he's gone, 
   Do not relax, 
   Its time to apply 
   The inheritance tax. 
   Accounts Receivable Tax 
   Building Permit Tax 
   CDL license Tax

   Inheritance Tax 
   Inventory Tax 
   IRS Interest Charges IRS Penalties (tax on top of tax) 
   Liquor Tax 
   Luxury Taxes 
   Marriage License Tax 
   Medicare Tax 
   Personal Property Tax 
   Property Tax 
   Real Estate Tax 
   Service Charge Tax 
   Social Security Tax 
   Road Usage Tax

   Telephone Federal, State and Local Surcharge Taxes 
   Telephone Minimum Usage Surcharge Tax 
   Telephone Recurring and Nonrecurring Charges Tax 
    Telephone    State   and Local Tax 
   Telephone Usage Charge Tax 
   Utility Taxes 
   Vehicle License Registration Tax 
   Vehicle Sales Tax 
   Watercraft Registration Tax 
   Well Permit Tax 
   Workers Compensation Tax 
STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? 
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, & our nation was the most prosperous in the world.  We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world. What in the heck happened?  Can you spell 'Politicians?' 
I hope this goes around THE USA at least 545 times!!!  YOU can help it get there!!!

"You Can’t Make This Stuff Up”

The weather here yesterday was chilly, damp, rainy and unpredictable just like our Government. Our Governor is going around the State trying to convince people that his budget plan is the right way to go. He wants to raise taxes and cut programs…On the Federal side, the U.S. government will shut down on March 4th. Stay tuned for that. That means all federal employees except The President the Senators and Congress will be furloughed. It looks like they will have to get their own coffee in the morning. The Obama administration will somehow pay 35 Billion tax, or newly printed dollars ($35,000,000,000.00) to Boeing Aircraft. To me that’s astounding. They are going to built new refueling tanker planes. They are like new 707’s. Neat huh…Can you imagine the debt he will leave when he’s gone? And oh yes he will be gone. That’s like you and your wife just got laid off and you are behind on your car and house payments but you go out and charge on your charge card a house full of new furniture. Yes, its good for the workers but bad for the taxpayers. Its insane isn’t it? ….Someone on CNN yesterday said that Osama Ben Laden and Al Qaeda is responsible for the all the craziness in the Middle East. I said that 2 weeks ago...Why is everyone afraid to say that? Its got his finger prints all over it. Its about time these people catch up with reality….While all this is going on. Pakistan has a CIA agent in prison. From what I understand he shot and killed 2 guys who were trying to rob him. Good for him on that. Our Government said to release him because he has diplomatic immunity. They won’t…How much aid would I stop sending to that country? All of it, that’s how much. Its time to send in Black ops and get him out of jail...Just like in Robert Redford’s Movie “Spy Game” I seen a sign for gas yesterday. $ 3.55.9 cents a gallon…..OMG I’m going out of my mind…

"The Real Questions"

"The Real Questions"

I must come from a different world. A world where common sense and morality rule over the insane behavior and ridiculous decision making. A world where consequences are what I think about before I do something stupid...I am not going to live forever but that doesn’t mean I take unnecessary chances. I say all that thinking of all the people that have never learned that life is short and when you die you don’t comeback like your favorite actor in the movies. If continue doing the same dumb things over and over you will die. Pain is real…Death is forever. Because of Utube a lot of the dumb or dumber are being hurt or losing their lives…..I’d like to be around for a little while longer...

Yesterday the car was fixed and it cost less than expected. Not much less but less. It didn’t take as long. Now its back in Mustang form and all systems are go….After thinking about it, the problem started a long time ago because the performance has improved 100% in other areas. Fixing one problem fixed others. It doesn’t do what it did before, it seems tighter and quicker and it corners with confidence. The test will be today when I go to visit my son and friends…

Comment……Last night the President talked about a BP and how bad the oil leak is but did he say when it would be stopped? Did he say if it can be stopped ? Did he say what we are going to do if its never stops? His pointless chatter was politically motivated and he did not try to help anyone but himself. He knows now that money can’t fix everything. Oh, don’t get me wrong your taxes will escalate and prices will go up in subtle ways. When the panic starts and there will be panic, if it leaks forever. Crime and death will prevail….Wait till it starts to effect other countries. Wait till everybody from the Gulf States moves to your home town because of the sickening smell of oil on the coast line…Wouldn’t it be fun to have the population of New Orleans move to your city or town? ….Think of all the wonderful barrooms they would build. You would have to build more schools too for all those great kids.. Hey, anything is possible in our messed country…Hang in there guys things are going to get really slippery…..
