President Obama told us yesterday that he wants to trim $4 trillion off the deficit over 12 years. He advocates that 25% of this, $1 trillion, comes from tax increases. The Republicans want $6.1 trillion in ten years without tax increases.
COMMENTS:
First of all, he is the donkey who sold us on $38 million in budget cuts for 2011 when $19 billion of that was already in the bank, so it was just one big lie and another “smoke and mirrors” attack on American intelligence. He’s going to end Bush tax cuts, something he’s been trying to do for over two years. He then tallies up his “cuts:” $770 billion discretionary, $400 billion defense, $480 billion Medicare and Medicaid, $360 billion other mandatory programs. That all tallies up to $3 trillion counting the tax increase. So, his fuzzy math is out in front of us from day one. Keep in mind that he fired his own debt reduction committee. I’m sorry, but the only way I can put this is that this stupid bastard thinks we are all stupid.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I am so sick and tired of all of these damned telephone calls from fundraisers. It used to be sales people, but that has slacked off with the “do not call” registry. Charities must not be obliged to follow that law. The other day, I got a telephone call from an Autism charity; I told them to take me off their list and not to call again. Not ten minutes later, they called back. Thus is pure harassment. (Marty ~ Albuquerque, NM)
A. I agree, wholeheartedly. I guess we need to start calling our senators and representatives and fight fire with fire.
Q. I read in the MINUTEMAN PAC that White House regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein; his wife Samantha Power, Senior Director of the National Security Council; and Department of Justice Attorney General Eric Holder are key players in a plot to dismantle and destroy America's Constitutional republic. (Angie ~ Scottsdale, AZ)
A. A word of caution. The Internet plays host to a whole gamut of ideologies and thoughts. There is a lot of hype and exaggeration out there. I do not necessarily trust this particular organization but, where there’s smoke there is usually fire.
Q. I am so worried about the number of Muslims in this country and what it could mean for us if they decide to have a “Jihad.” What can we do? (Lynnette ~ Redding, CA)
A. I am sympathetic to your concern. It’s against the law in this country to discriminate. If they gain citizenship, we can’t throw them out. I believe every American should get a gun and get training in how to use it and store it. More and more Americans are doing so and, as a side benefit, violent crime in this country has been in a steep decline ever since we started to arm ourselves. God forbid the day should ever come when we have to use them, but we need to be armed.
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
