The Obama Administration has announced sweeping new carbon
emissions standards on thousands of fossil-fuel burning plants across the
country. These changes, taking effect in
steps through 2030, are calculated to cause electrical energy prices to double
or even triple.
COMMENTS:
There’s no end to the oppressive and bad news this President
parades out to Americans on a daily basis.
What has to happen is that the Republicans, as little as I like the hierarchy,
have to storm Washington in November and seize a majority in both the House and
the Senate. I find myself in the awkward
position of supporting them.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What do you think Obama and Hillary Clinton discussed
during their private, unscheduled meeting last week? (Rodney ~ Detroit, MI)
A. You can bet your sweet bippees it wasn’t the name of the
Washington Redskins. It could have been
about the possibility of Michelle becoming Hillary’s running mate. More than likely, it was about the upcoming
House Select Committee Hearings into the Benghazi Massacre and cover-up.
Q. There has been a bill introduced to increase the number of
V.A. hospitals by 27. How can they
justify that before fixing the problems in the ones they already have? Aren’t they just making the problem
bigger? (Val ~ Reno, NV)
A. You are absolutely correct. Don’t ever try to run for an office in
Washington D.C….. You don’t stand a chance because you think logically and
clearly and those guys operate in the ozone layer with smoke and mirrors.
Q. I must be stupid or something. The unemployment rate is lower than it’s been
in years, but everybody seems to be out of work. What is going on? (Rhonda ~ National City, CA)
A. You’re not stupid and you’re not blind. The American public tends to think that a
declining unemployment rate means that more people are finding jobs. While
President Obama proudly extols the nation’s 6.7 percent unemployment rate, he
studiously avoids revealing that the U6 unemployment rate is more than 14
percent (probably actually exceeds 20 percent).
The current labor participation rate is at a historical low of just 63.2 percent. In other words, of all the
people in America who are of working age, only 63.2 percent are actually working. In short, you’re correct and Obama is not
telling the whole truth. Now then… you
already knew that, didn’t you?
TODAY’S QUOTE:
“Yes, we know there is a 30-day requirement to notify
Congress before we transfer any prisoners from Guantanamo, and we notified them
yesterday.” ~ Chuck Hagel. Secretary of Defense
