Politicians on all sides are looking first at the political implications of their actions and legislation rather than what is good for the country. Ditto the “I want my money now” union bosses and those organizations feeding at the public trough.
TUO = The Undocumented One
April 8, 2011. Big Government shutdown. Democrats did not pass their own reckless budget last session when they had total control. They did not want to run for election on their own massive budget. Now they want to blame Republicans for not passing their disastrous budget.

Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act of 2011 Common sense bill. Introduced by Rep Lamar Smith (TX) and Sen Charles Grassley (IA). Would impose mandatory sanctions against lawyers who file frivolous lawsuits in federal court. Imagine that -- more accountability for plaintiffs' lawyers, and a reduction in lawsuit abuse.

End US Big Daddy Government Unions. We should completely do away with government unions at all levels. When the Union and the Democrats are on the same side of the table, that is not bargaining. That is bribing union reps and members for votes and campaign contributions. I do not want my hard earned tax money going to fund Democrat campaigns. [email to my Congressman] 3/31/11
Remember: Nearly 50% of US voters do not pay taxes. With high unemployment and undocumented voters, "they" will soon become a voting majority that can give themselves what ever they want.
TUO receives “transparency award” in secret closed meeting at the White House. Obama met quietly in Oval Office with Gary Bass of OMB Watch, Tom Blanton of the National Security Archive, Danielle Brian of the Project on Government Oversight, Lucy Dalglish of Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, and Patrice McDermott of OpenTheGovernment.org. TUO did not disclose this meeting on his public schedule or let photographers or print reporters into the room. 3/28/11 Click Here. Secrecy is the Democrat way, is it not.

Kinetic means: 1. relating to the motion of material bodies and the forces associated therewith; 2. characterized by motion; 3. supplying motive force. Kinetic is a lot less threatening than “war” is it not. Kinetic can also be applied to walking the dog, sexual relations and eating ice cream.

Republicans must, without fail, cut spending and cut everywhere including the needless duplicate programs. US Taxpayers cannot afford to pay for all of this outlandish Democrat spending, with the help of long time Republicans who are going along with the big spending Democrats. Survey comment by trj 3/28/11
There should be no government unions in any public job sector. When the unions and the Democrats are on the same side of the "bargaining" table, that is not bargaining, that is payoffs in exchange for votes. =trj
What states are doing to fight the Big US Govt inflationary spending practices. Using gold and sliver coins as legal tender, issuing their own legal tender. . . . The Fed is a cartel of big "banksters" formed to steal wealth of Americans. Begun under auspices of stabilizing the economy -- at least that is the claim of proponents from the time -- it has presided over the crashes of 1921 and 1929, the Great Depression of 1929 to 1939, recessions in 1953, 1957, 1969, 1975, 1981, 1990 and 2008.

Democrat mantra: Rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer. Here is why this could be true, but not why Democrats claim it occurs . . .

We often hear, for example, that the top 20% of US households receive roughly 50% of total income, while the bottom 20% receives less than 4%. According to the Census Bureau's household data and quintile distribution, this is correct.
$
The problem is that we are not told that the top 20% of households includes four times as many workers as the bottom 20%, and nearly six times as many full-time, year-round workers. Knowing this makes a lot of difference in interpreting the original statement.

Another study, conducted in 2007 by the US Treasury, examined income tax returns from 1996 and 2005. Over the period, the median income of the study group rose by 24%. Almost 58% of those in lowest income group in 1996 moved to a higher group by 2005. About a fourth of them rose to middle- or upper-middle class incomes; more than 5% made it into the highest income group - in 10 years. The only group experiencing a decline in income was the richest 1%. This is hardly what most people have been led to believe.

While this may seem like an economic version of "musical chairs," it tells us that mobility among economic groups is high and chronic poverty is rare. Click Here.

US Oil. First reality about oil. Cheap oil used to be "Mideast oil" because the sands in the Mideast was least expensive place in the world to drill. That is no longer the case. Here is second reality about oil. The US is totally dependent on foreign oil even though there is enough oil in continental US to supply all of our needs, easily, for next 300 to 500 years. All we have to do is turn on the spigot and start using US oil. [Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise] 3/26/11
Compare this to the anti-oil people [below] who say that we will run out of oil in 50 years. This may be true if “they” continue putting obstacles in the path of self-sustaining US oil production and refining. =trj
49 years. Energy experts of all stripes have stressed the need to find alternatives to oil. And that point was reinforced in a research report by HSBC senior global economist Karen Ward. She says oil supply is running out. In a copy of the report obtained by CNBC, Ward writes, "Energy resources are scarce. Even if demand doesn’t increase, there could be as little as 49 years of oil left." HSBC is a world bank. Click Here. And Here.

Big Spenders Demand More Spending. Those who do not want “their” state and “their” nation to operate within a balanced budget framework are continuing to make themselves heard in public and in the polling results.

60%. Recent poll now shows a solid majority of Americans, now 60%, support drilling offshore for oil in US waters. Number of people who oppose domestic oil drilling dropped from 46% to 37% from one year ago, down from 52% in 2008.

Talking. In same announcement, TUO mentions that we should donate also to Japan while on line. After two years of his economic policies, we have gasoline, groceries and construction all heading in the wrong direction while he is showing no insight, clarity or leadership. Ditto on the Middle East. What a guy!
No grant money for organizations with political agendas . . . excellent Republican idea.
