The Unwanted Christmas Gift
Ronald Reagan correctly stated that the nine most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”
The very last thing we need is a new government agency micromanaging the financial decisions of banks, businesses and individuals. We already have seven powerful entities tasked with the oversight of the banking, lending and investment industries.
We have the Federal Reserve. We have the Comptroller of the Currency. We have the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We have the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. We have the National Credit Union Administration and the Federal Housing Finance Agency. They have done such a wonderful job. Just look at the mess we’re in!
Now, the Obama Administration and the Democrats have given us a new, onerous, unaccountable regulatory agency with virtually unlimited power to control all of our money that isn’t hidden under a rock somewhere. It’s called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If you are the least bit familiar with Washington, the name alone is enough to leave you shaking in your boots. Read the rest of this entry »
Bribery!
What is your price, the price you would take to sell out your country? What price would you take to sell out your children? What price would you take to sell out your grandmother?
Would you sell out your country for a million dollars, a billion perhaps? What is the freedom that you now enjoy really worth? If you had a cool billion in your pocket, would you be willing to take your chances in another part of the world, under a dictator perhaps?
What about the future of your children? Okay, I will admit to considering this question on one of their really bad days, but let’s be serious. Most of us wouldn’t take a billion to trash the future of our own flesh and blood. And Granny? You’ve got to be kidding!
Nevertheless, President Barack Obama, most Democrats and, sadly, many Republican leaders think you are willing to sell out your country, your kids and Granny for a mere thousand bucks.
Obama needs a Sister Souljah Moment
The occupiers of Wall Street were silent as the President of the United States approached the podium in downtown Manhattan and begin to speak. Obama was expected to embrace the protesters bu,t much to their surprise, he delivered a stinging attack.
“You have disgraced yourself by your public displays of indecency, the disrespect for your fellow citizens who live and work here and by trashing this park and the restrooms of nearby merchants. Just look at some of the signs you are carrying. ‘Jump you F—ers,’ pigs in police uniforms and ‘Shoot Sperm not Bullets.’ Is that who you really are? Read the rest of this entry »
The Takeaway from Solyndra
If we learn anything from the Solyndra debacle it’s that the government should not be in the business of making loans, period!
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is now investigating the allegations of improper dealings between the White House and the failed energy company. Taxpayers would be better served if Congress simply would vote to end all government-backed loan programs.
Fat chance! These government-backed projects represent a mother-lode of campaign contributions for both political parties. Read the rest of this entry »
That Giant Sucking Sound
President Obama will address a joint session of Congress to reveal his plan to put America back to work, but you may not be able to hear his words. They will be drowned out by a deafening roar.
No, it will not be from hysterical laughter on the GOP side of the aisle.
No, it will not be from a rush of economic activity just outside the Capitol because the savior of the planet has come up with a new idea.
No, it will not be from the throngs of union workers bowing down outside on the sidewalk in worshipful adoration.
No, it will not be the emanations from overcrowded cell towers due to the sheer volume of calls placed by investors to their brokers. Read the rest of this entry »
