Obama Admin Says Turning Off Sequester Will Save $1 Trillion
President’s Bloated Budget Calls For $800B Tax Hike, $7.3 Trillion In New Debt – Fuzzy Math On Whitehouse.gov

Obama: Proposed budget not my ‘ideal plan’  Published April 06, 2013 Associated Press

Confronting bipartisan criticism, President Obama conceded Saturday his  proposed budget is not his “ideal plan” but said it offers “tough reforms” to  the nation’s benefit programs while closing loopholes for the wealthy, a mix  that he argued will provide long-term deficit reduction without harming the  economy.

In his first comments about a budget he is to release Wednesday, Obama said  he intends to reduce deficits while at the same time providing new spending for  public works projects, early education and job training.

“We don’t have to choose between these goals – we can do both,” Obama said in  his weekly radio and internet address.

Obama’s budget calls for slower growth in government benefits programs for  the poor, veterans and the elderly, as well as higher taxes, primarily from the  wealthy. Some of its details, made public Friday, drew a fierce response from  liberals, labor unions and advocates for older Americans and prompted an  unimpressed reaction from Republican House Speaker John Boehner.

“It’s a compromise I’m willing to accept in order to move beyond a cycle of  short-term, crisis-driven decision-making, and focus on growing our economy and  our middle class for the long run,” Obama said.

Obama proposes spending cuts and revenue increases that would result in $1.8  trillion in deficit reductions over 10 years, replacing $1.2 trillion in  automatic spending cuts that are otherwise poised to take effect over the next  10 years.

Counting reductions and higher taxes that Congress and Obama have approved  since 2011, the 2014 budget would contribute to a total $4.3 trillion in total  deficit reduction by 2023.

The key deficit reduction elements of the plan incorporate an offer Obama  made to Boehner in December as both men sought to avert an impending “fiscal  cliff” of automatic, across the board spending cut and broad tax increases.

Obama’s plan has two central features — $580 billion in new taxes that  Republicans oppose and a new inflation formula, rejected by many liberals, that  would reduce the annual cost of living adjustments for a broad swath of  government programs, including Social Security and benefits for veterans.

In his address, Obama said he would achieve deficit reduction by making  “tough reforms” to Medicare and by enacting “commonsense tax reform that  includes closing wasteful tax loopholes for the wealthy and well-connected.”

Obama, however, made no mention of the effect his budget would have on Social  Security and on other social safety net programs, a key feature of his proposal  and one that drew hostile reaction from some of his most ardent political  backers.

Obama rejected a House Republican budget that aims to balance the budget in  10 years with steep cuts in domestic spending. His remarks reflected the White  House’s argument that Obama’s blend of tax increases and spending cuts have  widespread public support and will ultimately change the terms of the fiscal  debate in Washington.

“My budget will reduce our deficits not with aimless, reckless spending cuts  that hurt students and seniors and middle-class families — but through the  balanced approach that the American people prefer, and the investments that a  growing economy demands,” he said.

Still, Obama has been unable to move House Republicans from their opposition  to higher taxes. And his proposed reduction in the growth of benefits drew swift  objections from allies.

“The president should drop these misguided cuts in benefits and focus instead  on building support in Congress for investing in jobs,” AFL-CIO President  Richard Trumka said in a statement Friday.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback delivered the Republican radio address, arguing  that “the ideas on how to fix the federal government are now percolating in the  states.”

“You see, you don’t change America by changing Washington — you change  America by changing the states,” he said. “And that’s exactly what Republican  governors are doing across the country — taking a different approach to grow  their states’ economies and fix their governments with ideas that work.

Brownback, a former House member and U.S. senator, called for a “taxing  structure that encourages growth, an education system that produces measurable  results, and a renewed focus on the incredible dignity of each and every person,  no matter who they are.”

Barack Hussein Obama Settles the Score with S&P

February 5, 2013 in Abuse of Power, Budget, Debt Crisis, Economic Deception, Economy, Obama-Nomics, President Obama, Socialism, The Hope and The Change by Admin1

S&POn August 5th 2011 in an unprecedented move, the  Standard & Poors Rating Agency lowered the Debt Rating of the United States from AAA to AA+. The lowered rating represented the first downgrade in 70 years and was preceded by numerous warnings to our government that the unprecedented Debt by the Obama Administration was crippling our economy and”..had grown increasingly skeptical that Washington policy makers would make significant progress in reducing the deficit, given the tortured talks over raising the debt ceiling.”

“S&P said the downgrade “reflects our opinion that the fiscal consolidation plan that Congress and the administration recently agreed to falls short of what, in our view, would be necessary to stabilize the government’s medium-term debt dynamics.” It also blamed the weakened “effectiveness, stability, and predictability” of U.S. policy making and political institutions at a time when challenges are mounting. ”

S&P also put the new grade on “negative outlook,” meaning the U.S. has little chance of regaining the top rating in the near term.”

Barack Hussein Obama is now jawboning Congress  for even more fiscally irresponsible  $Trillions in debt to satisfy his lust for a a new Socialist Order in America and this lawsuit appears to be a warning shot across the bow of S&P.

It will also serve as a warning to the other Rating Agencies not to challenge the Obama Administrations  continuing black hole Debt lest they too succumb to the same fate that faces S&P .

Sandy Provides Congress with a Path Towards Even More Pork Barrel Legislation!

January 15, 2013 in Budget, Congress, Debt Limit, Economic Deception, Economy, Political Deception, Political Incompetence by Admin1

PorkbarrelJPGWhile the insurance industry reports loses from hurricane  Sandy at about $20B,  NY region Congressmen lament about the pain their constituents are feeling and cast aspersions at an uncaring Republican led House, they forget to mention that the pork filled bill is more than DOUBLE the estimated Losses.

They are using their constituents as a Trojan Horse to hide  yet again,billions in pork to connected contributors. This while we have just concluded the Fiscal Cliff Legislation with No spending cuts and contemplate the Debt Limit!

Sounds to me that Congress is back to their old tricks and don’t give a damnn about their constitutiencies or the debt load to present and future generations.

Insurance Losses from Sandy to be $20 Billion or More

Published January 08, 2013

Dow Jones Newswires

The insurance industry will likely post losses totaling $20 billion or more from Hurricane Sandy, as losses reported so far reached $16 billion to $17 billion, Fitch Ratings said.

That estimate would put the total industry loss just below the high end of the range of the most recent insured losses estimated by third-party catastrophe modelers, the ratings firm said.

Fitch added that the complexity of assessing the losses from such a large and intense storm over such a large area–particularly when evaluating the impacts of flooding and business interruption claims–has created uncertainty in estimating total insurance losses from Sandy. With that in consideration, insurance companies were unable to report credible loss estimates until almost two months after the storm hit on Oct. 29.

Due to the size and nature of Sandy, a larger proportion of losses were incurred from commercial lines versus personal lines, Fitch said. Primary writers with substantial Northeast catastrophe exposures are incurring the most significant losses, with reinsurers taking a more reduced, although still meaningful, share.

While many Americans are facing a difficult at best or Bleak  at worst financial Christmas Season, President Obama and his entourage will be once again a enjoying a 21 day Hawaiian vacation, at taxpayer expense. The cost to us taxpayers will be well over $20,000,000 or approximately $1,000,000 per day. Meanwhile, while we continue down the path to financial Armageddon, President Obama continues to spend our hard earned confiscated treasure on outrageously decadent vacations. Perhaps we should look on the bright side, it could have spent even more. With all the tax increases coming our way in  2013, he will have more of  our hard earned treasure  to re-distribute for even more lavish $$$ getaways.

 

1.4 BILLION Spent On The Obamas In 2011 – British Taxpayers Only Spent 57.8 Million On The Royal Family

By Michael, on September 27th, 2012

 

While most of America is suffering through one the worst economic downturns in U.S. history, the Obamas are living the high life at your expense.  During 2011, U.S. taxpayers spent an astounding 1.4 billiondollars on the Obamas.  Meanwhile, British taxpayers only spent 57.8 million dollars on the entire royal family.  Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?  So where did the 1.4 billion dollars go?  That money paid the salaries of their staff members, it paid for their transportation and housing costs, it paid for entertainment and vacations for the Obamas, and $102,000 was even spent on a “dog handler” for the family dog Bo.  In his new book entitled “Presidential Perks Gone Royal: Your Taxes Are Being Used For Obama’s Re-election“, author Robert Keith Gray reveals some absolutely shocking details about the enormous amounts of U.S. taxpayer money that are being spent on the personal needs of the Obamas.  At a time when the U.S. national debt is absolutely exploding this kind of outrageous spending is completely and totally inappropriate, but of course the mainstream media is not going to report on this because they don’t want to do anything to put the Obamas in a bad light this close to the election.

Some of the things that Robert Keith Gray has uncovered are absolutely mind blowing.  The following are a few facts from his new book….

-Never before has so much money been spent on a president and his family during a single year

-The Obamas have the “biggest staff in history at the highest wages ever

-While Obama has been in office, Air Force One has been “running with the frequency of a scheduled air line

-Obama has 469 senior staff working under him, and 226 of them make more than $100,000 a year

-There is always at least one projectionist at the White House 24 hours a day just in case there is someone that wants to watch a movie.

-The “dog handler” for the family dog Bo reportedly makes $102,000 per year and sometimes he is even flown to where the family is vacationing so that he can care for the dog

Are you outraged yet?

When the Obamas are at the White House the expenses are outrageous, but the expenses really kick in to a whole new level when the Obamas go on vacation.

And the Obamas sure do love to go on vacation.

Over one recent 12 month period, Michelle Obama spent 42 days on vacation (and that does not even count Saturdays and Sundays).  The following is an excerpt from a Daily Mail article about the legendary Obama vacations….

The First Lady is believed to have taken 42 days of holiday in the past year, including a $375,000 break in Spain and a four-day ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where she spent $2,000 a night on a suite at the Sebastian hotel.

And the first family’s nine-day stay in Martha’s Vineyard is also proving costly, with rental of the Blue Heron Farm property alone costing an estimated $50,000 a week.

The source continued: ‘Michelle also enjoys drinking expensive booze during her trips. She favours martinis with top-shelf vodka and has a taste for rich sparking wines.

‘The vacations are totally Michelle’s idea. She’s like a junkie. She can’t schedule enough getaways, and she lives from one to the next – all the while sticking it to hardworking Americans.’

As I wrote about the other day, many Americans are working so hard just to survive in this economy that they don’t ever get to take any vacations at all.

But it doesn’t seem to trouble the Obamas that many of their vacation trips cost more than many American workers will make in an entire decade….

The following is from a recent Newsmax article….

A trip to Spain in 2010 by Michelle Obama, family, and staff cost taxpayers $467,585 and a trip by the First Lady and family to South Africa and Botswana last year cost $424,142 for the flight and crew alone, according to Judicial Watch.

Yes, when the family of the president travels it is going to be expensive, but this is ridiculous.

It can even be insanely expensive for the Obamas to take a vacation even if they don’t leave the country.

For example, in 2010 an Obama family vacation to Hawaii ended up costing U.S. taxpayers more than a million dollars.

So how much is too much?

It has been reported that Michelle Obama spent over 10 million dollars of U.S. taxpayer money on vacations during just one recent 12 month period alone.

At a time when there are 46 million Americans on food stamps is this an appropriate amount of U.S. taxpayer money to spend on vacationing?

It seems that Barack Obama does not have his priorities in order.

Barack Obama may not have time to meet with important world leaders such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but he sure always seems to find time to play golf.  In fact, since he has been in the White House Obama has played more than 100 rounds of golf.

A lot of hard working American men have not played that many rounds of golf in their entire lifetimes.

Sadly, the Obamas are not the only ones that are blowing U.S. taxpayer money as if there is no tomorrow.

In a previous article, I detailed how the U.S. Congress is also living the high life at your expense.  The following are a few facts from that article….

-In 2010, the federal government spent $33,387 on the hair care needs of U.S. Senators.

-In 2010, U.S. Senators pulled $72,370 out of the “Senate Restaurant Fund”.

-In 2010, U.S. Senators took $166,673 out of something called the “Senate Gift Shop Revolving Fund”.

-In 2010, an average of $4,005,900 of U.S. taxpayer money was spent on “personal” and “office” expenses per Senator.

-Insider trading is 100% legal for members of Congress, and they refuse to pass a law that would change that.

So why don’t these politicians get voted out?

Well, the truth is that both political parties are deeply corrupt, and both parties have learned that they can buy votes by promising lots of free stuff and benefits to the voters.

I have written previously about how the U.S. government gives out free cell phones and free cell phone minutes each month to welfare recipients.

In the video posted below, a protester outside of a Romney campaign event explains that one of the main reasons why she is going to vote for Obama is because he gave her a free cell phone….

http://youtu.be/tpAOwJvTOio

Meanwhile, our national debt is growing out of control and the middle class is being absolutely crushed by taxes, regulations and the declining economy that Obama is overseeing.

According to one recent survey, 55 percent of all small business owners in America “say they would not start a business today given what they know now and in the current environment.”

The economy is completely and totally falling apart, and yet the Obamas are partying as if it was 1999.  Their attitude seems to be “let them eat cake”.

So what do you think about the crazy amount of money that is being spent on the Obamas every year?  Please feel free to post a comment with your thoughts below….

Republicans and Taxes

 

False congressional fiscal conservatives begin to reveal their true selves.

Andrew Napolitano | November 29, 2012

 

When President Obama won re-election last month by a larger margin than even his most fervent supporters had expected, though with fewer popular votes than he received in 2008, most commentators initially opined that not much had changed in Washington. The president would remain in the White House for another four years, the Democrats would keep control of the Senate, and the House would stay in Republican hands. Most Republicans re-elected to both houses of Congress had publicly pledged not to vote to raise taxes under any circumstances. And most of those Republicans have adhered to that promise—until now.

11.01.12 7:00 am

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, the false congressional fiscal conservatives in the Republican Party began to reveal their true selves. Led by the Republican presidential standard bearer in 2008, Arizona Sen. John McCain, at least a half-dozen Republican members of Congress have renounced their public promises never to vote to raise taxes. In the case ofC Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., Congressman and Senator-elect Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., they had restated their promises, directly or indirectly, as recently as last month during their successful campaigns. Did they blatantly dupe the voters?  Did they genuinely change their minds? Did they ever sincerely accept the pro-freedom anti-tax logic?

The Founders certainly embraced the pro-freedom anti-tax logic, as they gave us a Constitution that barred the federal government from imposing any direct tax on any persons. That was part of the genius of the document. If the feds really needed cash, they’d need to tax the states. If the states were feeling over-taxed, they could block federal taxes in the Senate, where for 135 years senators were chosen by state governments as delegates to the Senate, rather than elected by voters. This procedure, too, was part of the Founders’ genius. It came about in order to assure a place at the federal table for the states, many of which were older than the federal government and all of which retained their sovereignty when they voluntarily joined the union. This procedure for choosing senators was also a check on the growth of the federal government.

Those constitutional provisions were cast aside during the progressive era about 100 years ago, when, during a period of just five years, the Constitution was amended so that the states lost their place at the federal table and Congress could tax incomes, and the feds got a new printing press for cash in the form of the Federal Reserve.

I have described this dreadful time in our history in my new book, Theodore and Woodrow: How Two American Presidents Destroyed Constitutional Freedom. They did so by inverting the concept of limited government. With the exception of Abraham Lincoln, every president from George Washington to TR’s predecessor, William McKinley, accepted the truism that the federal government is one of limited powers, and it may only in engage in behavior that is specifically authorized by the Constitution or reasonably inferable therefrom.

Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, who ran against each other and who hated each other, turned this value on its head. They jointly argued that the Constitution does not mean what it says and is not the Supreme Law of the Land as it states. They held that the federal government can do whatever it wishes unless those wishes are expressly prohibited by the Constitution.

For 100 years, the Republican Party resisted the progressive onslaught. As recently as this past election just a few weeks ago, Republicans argued that increased tax revenue, whether from increased tax rates or from decreased tax deductions, effectively moves wealth from the productive sector and delivers it to the consuming sector—which would be the government.

This argument is really one of the basic laws of economics, so why are Republicans now rejecting it? I suspect that they are drunk with power and have concluded that they—just like Obama did—can assure their re-elections, their continued possession of governmental power, if they deliver bigger pieces of the federal pie to the folks back home. Stated differently, they are unwilling to address a system that soon will deliver more in entitlement payments and interest payments on government debt than it collects in revenue by reducing the entitlements, shrinking the government, cutting the debt, returning to the confines of the Constitution and letting hardworking Americans retain what is theirs. Instead, they now want to raise federal taxes.

They would be unwise to try to pull this off—and would be wise to recall recent history. The last Republican president to pledge “Read my lips. NO NEW TAXES” and then violate that promise was dispatched by the voters to a hotel suite in Houston, rather than to four more years in the White House. I bet George Herbert Walker Bush today would stick to his pledge.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA 

Dear President Obama: 

You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike 
Any of the others, you truly scare me. 

You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you. 

You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive 
Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no 
Visible signs of support. 

You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth 
Growing up in America and culturally you are not an American. 

You scare me because you have never run a company or met a payroll. 

You scare me because you have never had military experience, thus 
Don’t understand it at its core. 

You scare me because you lack humility and ‘class’, always blaming others. 

You scare me because for over half your life you have aligned 
Yourself with radical extremists who hate America and you refuse to 
Publicly denounce these radicals who wish to see America fail.. 

You scare me because you are a cheerleader for the ‘blame America ‘ 
Crowd and deliver this message abroad. 

You scare me because you want to change America to a European style 
Country where the government sector dominates instead of the private sector. 

You scare me because you want to replace our health care system 
With a government controlled one. 

You scare me because you prefer ‘wind mills’ to responsibly 
Capitalizing on our own vast oil, coal and shale reserves. 

You scare me because you want to kill the American capitalist goose 
That lays the golden egg which provides the highest standard of 
Living in the world. 

You scare me because you have begun to use ‘extortion’ tactics 
Against certain banks and corporations. 

You scare me because your own political party shrinks from 
Challenging you on your wild and irresponsible spending proposals. 

You scare me because you will not openly listen to or even consider 
Opposing points of view from intelligent people. 

You scare me because you falsely believe that you are both 
Omnipotent and omniscient. 

You scare me because the media gives you a free pass on everything 
You do. 

You scare me because you demonize and want to silence the 
Limbaugh’s, Hannitys, O’Reillys and Becks who offer opposing, 
Conservative points of view. 

You scare me because you prefer controlling over governing. 

Finally, you scare me because if you serve a second term I will 
Probably not feel safe in writing a similar letter in 8 years. 

Lou Pritchett

This letter was sent to the NY Times but they never acknowledged it.

MA Dems set to Introduce a Plethora OF New Taxes in 2013 on Top of Expiring Bush Tax Cuts

October 6, 2012 in Budget, Debt Crisis, Deval Patrick, Economic Deception, Economy, Election, MA, The Hope and The Change by Admin1

Barack Hussein Obama and our nitwit Vice-President Joe Biden , if re-elected , promise to  let the Bush tax cuts expire which will result in increased taxes at every income  level.

What happens to you if the cuts expire? The Tax Foundation has done the math and provides a handy map to show the likely economic impact on people in every state. (For the record, the Tax Foundation describes themselves as, “a nonpartisan tax research group based in Washington, D.C.â€)

 

The Five States Facing The Biggest Tax Increases (avg. per household):

  1. Connecticut $5,783
  2. New York $5,542
  3. New Jersey $5030
  4. Massachusetts $4277
  5. California $4242

 

 

Meanwhile, according to a report from the State House News Service our own House Speaker Robert DeLeo, in collaboration with Deval Patrick  is hinting at raising taxes in 2013 in the middle of a recession, in  order to support Taxachusetts’s burgeoning spending pogram. Taking their cue from Barack Hussein Obama, they will likely spring details of their proposals after the election when they and their minions are safely back in office.

On top of the Federal Tax Increases for 2013 and according to the Wall Street Journal a Loss of $4,019 in real Income during the Obama years we are now looking at additional MA State Tax increases as well.  Could there be a stronger reason to help Fiscally Responsible, Small Government Championing, Free Market Conservative candidates this fall?

 

“Flat tax collections in September have left state government trailing budgeted revenue benchmarks by $95 million one quarter of the way into the new fiscal year, according to figures released Wednesday by the Department of Revenue. Collections last month of more than $2.2 billion were up $8 million over September 2011, but were still $32 million shy of the monthly benchmark. Tax collections are up 0.03 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Murray and DeLeo over the past few years have embraced the no-new-taxes approach after voting in 2009 to boost the sales tax by 25 percent to 6.25 percent. Though some more liberal Democrats on Beacon Hill have advocated for higher cigarette taxes to pay for health programs, members of the House and Senate from both parties have largely cheered the reluctance of leaders to force votes on new revenue, particularly in an election year.”

House Minority Leader Brad Jones of North Reading on Thursday said DeLeo’s reluctance to rule out tax hikes next year was “disappointing.”

“I will say that I am well aware that numerous discussions have been going on about increased taxes and that obviously members of the majority party don’t want to have those go public until after the election.

 

The 4 October 2012 press release from State House News follows:

 

ON RESISTANCE TO NEW TAXES, DeLEO TAKING WAIT-AND-SEE APPROACH FOR 2013

By Matt Murphy and Mike Deehan

STATE HOUSE NEWS SERVICE

STATE HOUSE, BOSTON, OCT. 4, 2012….After holding the line on new taxes since 2009, the pledge by legislative leaders to not upset the delicate economic recovery by increasing broad-based taxes or fees on residents and business is showing signs of cracking.

House Speaker Robert DeLeo told the News Service this week he doesn’t yet know if his proscription against new taxes or fees will apply to the 2013 legislative year when the Legislature is expected to address long-term financing of the state’s transportation system and may need to look to new sources of revenue.

DeLeo said he wants “to see where the numbers fall on next year’s budget†and with transportation financing before making a decision on whether to rule tax hikes in or out, a line the Winthrop Democrat has drawn the past several years, and which Democrats have followed, prior to the release of the House budget in April.

“That’s never been a desire of mine to increase taxes. But on the other hand . . . I’m smart enough to know that until you see the figures of what you’re working with, you don’t make any pledges.†DeLeo, the former House budget chief, said after a meeting Tuesday afternoon with UMass officials and local entrepreneurs.

Senate President Therese Murray last year deferred to the House, noting tax bills originate in there, while working to craft the Senate’s spending blueprint for the year that began July 1, though she showed no signs of appetite herself for higher taxes. Through a spokesman, Murray declined comment on the appetite for taxes next session.

Flat tax collections in September have left state government trailing budgeted revenue benchmarks by $95 million one quarter of the way into the new fiscal year, according to figures released Wednesday by the Department of Revenue. Collections last month of more than $2.2 billion were up $8 million over September 2011, but were still $32 million shy of the monthly benchmark. Tax collections are up 0.03 percent over the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Murray and DeLeo over the past few years have embraced the no-new-taxes approach after voting in 2009 to boost the sales tax by 25 percent to 6.25 percent. Though some more liberal Democrats on Beacon Hill have advocated for higher cigarette taxes to pay for health programs, members of the House and Senate from both parties have largely cheered the reluctance of leaders to force votes on new revenue, particularly in an election year.

House Minority Leader Brad Jones of North Reading on Thursday said DeLeo’s reluctance to rule out tax hikes next year was “disappointing.â€

“I will say that I am well aware that numerous discussions have been going on about increased taxes and that obviously members of the majority party don’t want to have those go public until after the election but they are absolutely underway and going on,†Jones said.

DeLeo has used his position over the past few years to thwart proposals by Gov. Deval Patrick to tax candy and soda, raise taxes on cigarettes and expand the scope of the state’s five-cent bottle redemption law, an idea encouraged by some environmentalists to improve recycling rates and generate $20 million in new revenue.

Any new debate over taxes in Massachusetts will also likely play out over a backdrop of the national discussion about how to address the federal debt and deficit, including the looming expiration of tax cuts on Jan.1 that could increase payroll taxes on Massachusetts residents and millions of Americans.

With unemployment at 6.3 percent after having risen moderately over the past two months, legislative leaders like DeLeo, if he wins reelection as anticipated, will be challenged to come up with a justification for new revenue after years of touting their reluctance to raise taxes as a selling point of their fiscal discipline and rationale for new businesses to locate and grow in Massachusetts.

In May, DeLeo published an open letter in the local Menlo Park, California newspaper to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg suggesting the company, and others like it in Silicon Valley, consider expanding in Massachusetts.

“Unlike California, where Governor Brown just announced a $16 Billion budget deficit sure to mean massive cuts in services and increases in government revenues, Massachusetts leaders have passed budget-after-budget on-time and with no new taxes or fees,†DeLeo wrote. “There is no denying California’s strengths, but a lot has changed in Massachusetts in the eight years since Facebook moved out. It’s a place where young workers, start-up companies and innovation entities want to be.â€

Jones said that in addition to consideration of raising gas taxes, he has heard mention of raising the state income tax from 5.25 percent to 5.95 percent.

“Unfortunately the Democrats don’t want to have that discussion before the election because they know the public isn’t going to be welcome to it, isn’t going to be open to it. People are still hurting. They’re very apprehensive. We have a fragile economy,†Jones said.

Jones said there is a “reasonable consensus†that some people would like to put more resources into transportation and infrastructure, but said the idea of “going down the tax path is a dangerous one.â€

“I think we’re going to be faced with the false choice of, well, we have to raise taxes to do this as opposed to, well, isn’t some of it maybe reprioritizing spending?†Jones said.

Citizens for Limited Taxation earlier this week rolled out endorsements of 40 legislative candidates, including 17 incumbents – all Republicans – who scored well on the group’s issues test and signed a “Taxpayer Protection Pledge†to “oppose and vote against any and all effort to increase taxes.â€

Through its political action committee, CLT also gave maximum donations of $500 to many of its endorsees, including candidates challenging Sen. Murray and Reps. Thomas Calter (D-Kingston), Thomas Sannicandro (D-Ashland), Carolyn Dykema (D-Holliston), John Rogers (D-Norwood) and James O’Day (D-West Boylston.

Obama Administration Breaks Laws Again – Unlawfully indemnifies Contractors with Taxpayer Dollars

Defense contractors back off layoff notice threats ahead of sequestration

Several defense contractors on Monday backed off threats to issue layoff notices to employees in coming weeks, a move they had said might be required given the threat of mandatory federal budget cuts in January.

Bethesda-based contracting giant Lockheed Martin and the U.S. arm of Britain’s BAE Systems, which is based in Arlington County, said they would not issue the notices this year. Under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, or Warn Act, states require advance notice of mass layoffs or facility closures.

The White House issued a memo late last week that directs contractors to follow the guidance of the Labor Department. In a July letter, the department said the Warn Act does not require contractors facing sequestration to send notices to their workers that they could be let go.

In its new guidance, the White House said that if sequestration occurs and an agency terminates or changes a contract that results in a plant closing or mass layoff, the contractors’ liability and litigation costs under the Warn Act would be “allowable costs†covered by the contracting agency.

“The additional guidance offered important new information about the potential timing of DOD actions under sequestration, indicating that DOD anticipates no contract actions on or about 2 January, 2013, and that any action to adjust funding levels on contracts as a result of sequestration would likely not occur for several months after 2 Jan,†Lockheed said in a statement.

Brian Roehrkasse, a spokesman for BAE Systems’ U.S. business, said BAE also will not issue Warn notifications to its employees.

“However, if specific information becomes available that certain company facilities may suffer mass layoffs due to sequestration, we will issue Warn notices at that time as required by law,†he said in an e-mail. “Unless sequestration is avoided, we eventually may have no choice but to issue Warn notices to potentially impacted employees.â€

Obama is Purchasing Votes with the “…largess out of the public treasury.”

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.”     Elmer T. Peterson

Food Stamps is just one of  Barack Hussein Obama giveaways from our “public treasury’ that will eventually cause our Republic to collapse under the weight of his Socialist Programs.

It’s not just the increase in recipients: Obama allows each recipient to receive much more. Can’t blame that on Bush.

One of the least-appreciated reasons for conservatives to dislike former President George W. Bush is that even while the unemployment rate was declining, the U.S. saw a massive increase in participation in the food-stamp programs (Women, Infants and Children, or WIC; and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP). It’s quite accurate to refer, as the Washington Examiner recently did, to the “Great Bush-Obama food-stamp expansion.†But a recent article on the subject of food-stamp costs in National Review didn’t even mention Bush’s name. Firebrand Newt Gingrich, who has tirelessly focused attention on this topic, has been similarly negligent in omitting Bush from the picture.

Yet Obama has done much more than simply oversee an increase in participation.

Obama brings up Bush’s expansion when challenged about his food-stamp record — he has aggressively sought to blame his performance on his Republican predecessor. Here’s what he told ABC News when confronted on this issue:

First of all, I don’t put people on food stamps. People become eligible for food stamps. Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my Republican predecessor, not under me. No. 3, when you have a disastrous economic crash that results in eight million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from government.

It’s stunning that the Romney campaign is allowing Obama to get away with not mentioning the costs that have no precedent whatsoever in Bush administration records or policy.

Under Obama, 14.7 million more Americans began using the food-stamp program than had been using it under Bush. That’s a whopping increase of 46%, from 31.9 million users in 2009 to 46.6 million today. One in every seven Americans. The WIC program now purchases over half of all infant formula sold in the United States.

But most importantly, the cost of the program to taxpayers has increased by far more than the expected, proportionate 46%.

Under eight years of George Bush, annual spending on food stamps rose from $15 billion to $35 billion — an increase of about $2.5 billion per year. But in just the first two years of the Obama administration alone, spending rose from $35 billion to $75 billion — a staggering increase of $20 billion per year, nearly ten times the rate of increase in cost under Bush.

The cost of food stamps under Obama rose from an average of $3.6 billion per month when he came to office to $6.2 billion per month now, a disproportional increase of 72% compared to the 46% increase in program usage. And even that figure is misleading because it is based on averages: the total cost of the program over Obama’s four years in office, as noted above, actually rose by well over 100%, now running in excess of $75 billion per year. If you compare 2007 and 2011, the total cost increase is an astounding 135%.

There are two possible explanations for the wildly disproportionate rise in food stamp costs under Obama: either he’s being much more generous with recipients than Bush ever dreamed of being, or food prices are rising because of his inflationary policies. Earlier this year, the Congressional Budget Office weighed in. They concluded that a combination of both factors was in play — but that Obama’s generosity (with taxpayer money) is the much bigger culprit.

Folks,

The Obama Administration is simultaneously creating a Middle East Muslim Caliphate, distancing our support of Israel while weakening our Military, our Economy and attacking our freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution.

If we don’t Oust Obama in November, WWIII will erupt in the Middle East, we will be defenceless (Obama signed treaty that reduces our nuclear arsenal from 5000 to 1500 missiles and has asked the military to consider going down to 292) and after we plunge over the  fiscal cliff, China  will own our debt and our destiny!

Glenn Beck is one of  our “Watchman on he Wall”.  He warned us that The Obama Middle East Policy was leading to a Caliphate whose sole aim would be to march on Israel and to make Jerusalem their Capital. Last  May, during a rally for Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate Mohammad Mursi, Egyptian Cleric Safwat Higazi spoke before an adoring crowd of thousands, proclaiming, “We can see how the dream of the Islamic caliphate is being realized, God willing, by Dr. Mohamed Mursi.†Cleric Safwat Higazi further stated that, “The capital of the United States of the Arabs will be Jerusalem.â€Â 

It should now be clear to any neutral observer that  the Obama Administration has via its “Arab Spring” and “American Weakness” foreign policy initiatives,  have deliberately created  a Muslim Caliphate.

On February 11th 2011, Glenn Beck talking about the Tunisian Revolution stated:

–This is not just happenstance. This is not just poor people mad at rich people.

This is coordinated. Tunisia was the beginning. I think there is a chance Tunisia

was our Archduke Ferdinand moment that I’ve been telling you about, warning

that it would start in some place that wouldn’t look like anything – and most of

us wouldn’t understand it. He was the guy assassinated in Sarajevo.  Month later

Austria and Hungary declared war against Serbia and the rest is called World War One”

 

 

And now we see beginning of  the Obama Administration’s and the   Caliphate’s plan to obliterate Israel.  Our Egyptian Embassy , upon orders from the president “apologizes in advance”  for a motion picture uncomplimentary to Allah.  An apology that comes before the attacks on our Egyptian and Libyan Embassies.  After mobs assemble outside our Libyan embassy, our Ambassador is taken to a safe house under the protection of Libya. Our good friends in the Libyan Government  then aid the Muslim Brotherhood  by providing the location of our Ambassador’s “Safe House”, thereby enabling his murder along with other embassy personnel l.  Obama waits before announcing the deaths of our Embassy personnel  even while it is making headlines in Europe.   When he finally speaks, he soft peddles the entire atrocity and can’t wait to get on Air Force One, so he is not too late for his Fundraiser.

There is Another Pork Barrel Bill Coming Your Way

August 30, 2012 in Abuse of Power, America's Collapse, Budget, Debt Crisis, Economic Deception, Economy, Election, Politics by Admin1

When our Senator’s and Representatives attempt to slip a bill like the Farm Bill HR.6083  through Congress, they must really believe that, we the members of the electorate and their constituents are either brainless, dim-witted or morons.  Even the financial scoring of this bill like most others, is filled with deception and dishonesty. Its no wonder that only 10% of our electorate  believes that Congress is doing a satisfactory job in representing our interests.

Take this time during the recess to bone up on upcoming legislation like the the Farm Bill and the UN treaties and  start a calling barrage into their offices. This period before November 6th is almost as dangerous as the “Lame Duck” session after the election, because the political phone calls, TV adds and multiple  mailings will turn many people off, causing them to drop their guard and  to stop paying attention to the happenings in Congress. This inattention to their actions is what Congress  looks for so that they can slink additional debt killing legislation through! The only way we are going to turn things around is to educate ourselves on how they perpetrate their shenanigans  and to CALL THEM OUT . 

For the Farm Bill, you Must call your Senators and Congressman and tell them that our national debt is headed for a Fiscal Cliff and we aren’t interested in any more PORK being signed into law!!! They intend to take up this bill after the get back from their recess.

Farm Bill†Question and Answer

August 24, 2012 by  Leave a Comment

As Congress continues its recess and activists across the country attempt to educate their elected officials on the problems with the current farm and food stamp bill, we wanted to provide the main questions that our folks are receiving on the road and their best factual response, all in one post.  Here you go, and we hope you find its useful.

How much does the so-called “farm billâ€â€”the Federal Agriculture and Risk Management Act (H.R. 6083)—cost? According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the bill costs $957 billion over ten years. The last farm bill, enacted in 2008, cost $604 billion over ten years. This bill amounts to a 60% increase in farm and food aid since the last reauthorization. Doesn’t H.R. 6083 “save†money? Not in any real world sense. As stated, the bill includes policies that over ten years will cost 63% more than the previous authorization. It is only because the Congressional Budget Office must ignore the expiration date of these programs and assume their continuation into eternity—including the Obama food stamp expansions—that the bill can be judged to “save†$35 billion. This is really just Washington-speak for spending 3.5% less than expected ($957 billion instead of $992 billion)—it’s not a cut. Isn’t H.R. 6083 really mislabeled as a farm bill given how much food stamp spending it includes? Yes. 80% of H.R. 6083’s spending is comprised of food stamp spending. This is because there are now 46 million individuals on food stamps, compared with 30 million in 2008 and 17 million in 2000. The reduction in the rate of growth to the food stamp program contemplated by the bill equals just $16 billion or 2%—not the sort of reforms that will lead to rolling back the food stamp program. This is one reason why most conservatives are so intent on splitting up the bill between its food stamp and farm subsidy components. Doesn’t H.R. 6083 include some much needed reforms to farm subsidies? The bill does eliminate wasteful direct payments to farmers, but it then plows much of the “savings†back into three new “shallow loss†entitlement programs that will actually serve to guarantee the profits for a larger number of farmers than currently benefit from direct payments. In addition, the bill sets new price floors for commodities (in most cases, higher than average recent prices) and expands crop insurance subsidies. Isn’t passing H.R. 6083 crucial towards passing drought assistance for those regions of the country that have been hard hit? No. The House of Representatives has already passed a separate piece of legislation—the Agriculture Disaster Assistance Act, H.R. 6233—to provide $383 million in emergency assistance to farmers, ranchers, and orchardists. The Senate refuses to act on the measure in order to put artificial political pressure to pass a massive farm bill. We opposed this drought assistance (see below), but regardless of a Congressman’s support for such assistance, it should have no bearing on whether they support a separate, long-term farm bill. Note: Some congressional offices, in an effort to confuse the issues, have noted that there is no food stamp spending in this separate drought package. That is true, but it confirms that the future of the drought package is not tied to passage of a multi-year farm bill. Should the federal government be providing $323 million in drought assistance? No. Proponents of the bill cite the drought’s impact on livestock—and the absence of livestock-specific disaster programs—as the principle reason for the aid package. However, the livestock-specific disaster programs expired in 2011, meaning ranchers knew that they had to plan for possible disasters, including drought. The Washington Post explained that “farmers should have to hedge as other businesses do: by diversifying their product lines, purchasing insurance at market rates, leveraging assets or maintaining cash reserves.†Because livestock producers did not take preventative action, they are now clamoring for a bailout. The bill also goes well beyond drought-inflicted livestock losses, by offering “subsidies to ranchers for livestock killed by raptors and wolves (along with hurricanes, floods, blizzards, disease, and extreme cold).†It also includes wildfires. The “drought†bill also covers trees, defined as “a tree, bush, and vineâ€, impacted by late-season freezes and insect infestations. Doesn’t the agricultural community need a farm bill during this recession? No. U.S. agriculture is thriving. Net farm income hit a record $98 billion last year and is expected to reach $122.2 billion in 2012. The top five earnings years in the last three decades have all occurred since 2004. With a healthy agriculture sector and a spiraling federal debt, now is the time to reform and eliminate commodity subsidies that cost taxpayers and distort the market.

U.S. Jobless Claims Unchanged At 374,000
By Jeffry Bartash Published August 30, 2012 MarketWatch Pulse

WASHINGTON –  Applications for U.S. jobless benefits were flat last week at a seasonally adjusted 374,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had projected claims would fall to 370,000. Initial claims from two weeks ago were revised up to 374,000 from an original reading of 372,000, based on more complete data collected at the state level.

The average of new claims over the past month, meanwhile, rose by 1,500 to 370,250. The four-week average reduces seasonal volatility in the weekly data and is seen as a more accurate barometer of labor-market trends. Also, Labor said continuing claims decreased by 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 3.32 million in the week ended Aug. 18. Continuing claims reflect the number of people already receiving benefits. About 5.53 million people received some kind of state or federal benefit in the week ended Aug. 11, down 62,253 from the prior week. Total claims are reported with a two-week lag.

Tea Party activists may keep low profile at first GOP convention
By Cristina Corbin Published August 25, 2012 FoxNews.com
Next week marks the Tea Party’s first Republican convention.
But despite its role in helping the party win the House majority in 2010, the movement is expected to keep a relatively low profile inside the arena, activists say. Some Tea Party groups are deliberately giving the party space to spotlight its nominee, though others claim they’re being snubbed by GOP leaders.

The Tea Party, of course, is composed of thousands of different groups, each with its own causes. A Tea Party scene could erupt in Tampa at any moment. But unlike some other factions heading into the once-every-four-years affair, the Tea Party does not appear to have a concerted agenda.
Gop Platform Emerging Draws Praise and Criticism

Instead, the movement may just settle for speaking roles for favored politicians and shout-outs in the platform.

The four-day convention in Tampa will kick off Monday with speeches from Tea Party favorites, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Senate candidate Ted Cruz of Texas. The party’s draft platform that will be voted on includes many of the conservative policies championed by the movement.

FreedomWorks, a Washington-based Tea Party-aligned think tank started by former House GOP leader Dick Armey, announced Wednesday that nearly all of its “Freedom Platform†has been adopted by the GOP, including a repeal of President Obama’s health care law, an end to tax hikes and an audit of the Federal Reserve.

“They were very open to our ideas and willing to work with us,†FreedomWorks vice president Russ Walker said of the platform-writing committee chaired by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven and Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn.
The Tea Party’s visibility beyond that, though, may be minimal at the convention, activists say. The expectation has drawn mixed reactions from the loosely organized anti-tax movement.

“They like the work we’re doing, but they’re afraid because they don’t want to turn off independents with the Tea Party brand,†said Todd Cefaratti of the group, TheTeaParty.Net. The group has filed a petition called “Let Them Speak,†urging the Republican National Committee to allow Tea Party leaders to speak at the convention.

“You get these moderate Republicans and they say ‘I don’t want to offend Grandma Independent,’†Cefaratti said. TheTeaParty.Net is a chief sponsor of the “Unity Rally 2012†to be held at a Tampa church on the eve of the convention, featuring speeches by Tea Party darlings and former presidential candidates Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain.

“It’s our response to a lot of our leaders being shut out of the convention,†Cefaratti said.
Another group, The Kitchen Table Patriots, also expressed resentment over the Tea Party’s representation at the convention.

“The amount of effort that the GOP went through to make sure that no Tea Party person went to the convention was unbelievable,†said Anastasia Przybylski, one of the group’s co-founders. “I did not see it coming.â€

Przybylski’s counterpart, Ana Puig, claims the GOP in Bucks County, Pa., spent $70,000 to derail her run to become a delegate at the convention. Puig is now paying her way to go as an “honorary delegate,†she said, meaning “I can do everything except vote.â€

“What is the convention going to accomplish except that Mitt Romney will formally be the candidate? It’s a shoulder-rubbing event,†Puig said.

Puig, however, said she is happy the Tea Party’s platform has been well-received by the RNC, adding that she’s hopeful “we would see a trickle down effect to the GOP on the local level,” she said.

“I am looking at this trip as a way for us, Tea Party, and GOP to try to mend some fences and move side by side to secure a big win in November.”

But not everyone within the movement believes Tea Party leaders should be on prominent display during the convention.

“This is the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan show and it should be,†said Sal Russo of the Tea Party Express, one of the most visible factions of the movement. “We don’t have an agenda beyond that.â€

“I would consider this an extremely successful convention for the Tea Party,†Russo said, noting that Romney was always among his group’s top three picks for a presidential nominee. “We thought we shouldn’t try and intrude on a convention that we’re happy with.â€

Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, echoed Russo’s sentiment, characterizing the convention as “more style than substance.â€

“The purpose is to legally nominate their candidate,†Martin told FoxNews.com. “Tea Party Patriots are far more concerned about what laws are going to be passed than what they’re doing at a party in Florida and Charlotte.â€

“As long as our values are represented, we are making an effect. What we will be happy about is when bills are signed into law that repeal the president’s health care law, and when the budget is balanced and when we’re on the road to recovery,†she said. “The convention is just a very small step along the way.â€

Dire Warnings From CBO On Deficit and Potential for Double-Dip Recession

August 23, 2012 in America's Collapse, Budget, Debt Crisis, Economic Deception, Economy, President Obama by carlos

WASHINGTON –  The U.S. government will run a budget deficit of $1.1 trillion in fiscal 2012, or 7.3% of gross domestic product, the Congressional Budget Office estimated in a new report on Wednesday. The new deficit estimate is slightly lower than the agency’s March estimate of $1.2 trillion. The nonpartisan CBO predicts that the U.S. economy will grow at a 2.1% clip in 2012, but fall by 0.5% between the fourth quarter of 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2013 if scheduled tax increases and spending cuts take effect in January. Under that “fiscal cliff,” the U.S. would experience a recession, with U.S. unemployment jumping to about 9% in the second half of 2013 from its current 8.3%, CBO said.

 Lou Dobbs Takes On Barney Frank.

Barney Frank says  the Right wants to deny  food for our Children and  won’t stop the Fires burning Down our inner Cities.

All this is Going to Happen Because Gov. Mitt Romney & Paul Ryan want to Rein in Spending.

So Hide our Children from these Evil People who May help  save Our Country from going over a Financial Cliff.

Oriely Will Play Varney Frank

Treasury Raises TARP Cost Estimate as Share Prices Shift

Published August 13, 2012 Dow Jones Newswires
The Treasury Department raised slightly its cost estimate for the financial bailout, largely reflecting shifting share prices for two of the companies it rescued at the height of the crisis.
Â
The Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, will ultimately cost taxpayers $47.75 billion, the Treasury said in a monthly report sent to Congress Friday. That is up from the previous estimate of $43.32 billion.
Â

The latest figures are based on General Motors Co. (GM) and American International Group Inc.’s (AIG) share prices from May 31, when GM was at $22.20 and AIG at $29.18. The prior report used share prices from the end of February, when GM was $26.02 and AIG was $29.22.


Â
The latest calculation puts the cost of the auto bailout at $25.05 billion, up from the previous estimate of $21.70 billion.
Â
Meanwhile, the two stocks have since moved in opposite directions. GM closed Friday at $20.54 a share and AIG at $32.60. The Treasury also has pared back its AIG holdings, selling its fourth tranche of shares early this month for $5.75 billion.
Â
Nearly four years after TARP’s launch, the U.S. still has substantial investments in AIG, GM, Ally Financial Inc. and hundreds of smaller banks. The U.S. holds a 53% stake in AIG and a 26.5% stake in GM–the largest of the publicly traded companies.
Â
TARP ended up a smaller and less costly program than initially projected. At one point, TARP’s price tag was set at $700 billion. Ultimately, $431 billion was disbursed through a handful of programs and much of that has been recovered as companies paid back funds or the government sold off investments.
Â
Indeed, some of TARP’s components are expected to turn a profit.
Â
“To date, we’ve already recovered nearly 84% of the funds disbursed for TARP and the program is expected to cost dramatically less than many once feared,” a Treasury official said Monday.
Â
In the Treasury’s latest estimate, the biggest chunk of costs are expected to arise from $46 billion set aside for housing–funds that some think will never be used.
Â
The Congressional Budget Office, for example, expects only $16 billion will ultimately be disbursed for mortgage programs. Because of the big difference, CBO this spring forecast that TARP will end up costing taxpayers $32 billion.
Â
The remaining costs stem largely from assistance to AIG and aid to the automotive industry.
