Was it really a debate?

What a missed opportunity to actually learn about the candidates, instead the so-called debate was kept on petty issues that were of no concern. Trump tried to bring up issues Americans care about, while Clinton wanted to stay petty and kept bringing up useless subjects with Lester Holts help. Clinton did make sure she pushed her book and web site and avoided answering anything, leaving you with the feeling of – what difference does it make. Yes Donald Trump lost the debates, that is, if the point of the debates was to tell lies, make insinuations and put out false statements.

And all the talk that Trump needs Hispanic votes, African-American votes, young votes, old votes, women votes, etc, etc, etc..... What Trump needs is AMERICAN VOTES!

Let us hope that at the next debate, which is really a town hall meeting with the participation of the audience some real questions will be answered.

USPS throws money on a whim

How in the world can the United States Postal Service spend $6.3 billion to purchase a fleet of 180,000 new vehicles in 2016 when it was just announced in November that they are once again at a negative $5.1 billion for 2015, which brings them to a total of $56.1 billion in losses since 2007.  They have taken out mail boxes because they admit that less people and commerce are using them since email and on-line transactions has become an increasing way of doing business.  It just goes to show how government entities just like to spend the biggest amount of monies on useless items at a whim.

Obamacare and the flim-flammery rhetoric

Health Insurance Does Not Insure Health (Photo credit: SavaTheAggie)

Obama and the Democrats have been pushing out their flim-flammery rhetoric before, during and after the Obamacare was passed. How many times have you heard - If its to good to be true, usually it is.

This bait and switch comprehensive health reform has done nothing but harmed citizens and put many of them in fear for their life. Over the past weeks, we have heard the Democrats, Obama administration and Obama, himself blamed the failure of Obama care on just about everyone and everything over and over again.

Democrats, Sen. Pelosi said, “ we have to sign it before you can see what is in it,” this should of been warning sign to all citizens. The bill was written to get the 30 million uninsured – insured. Now we find that 40 million have been pushed off of policies that they wanted and needed – with the number of uninsured growing day by day – the number of uninsured now stand at 70 million plus.

The only thing this comprehensive health reform will be doing is increasing the number of uninsured, increase insurance premiums to amounts that are hardly affordable, and leaves citizens open for ID theft.

Obama care was not only designed to take over your healthcare but was designed to have a say in every part of your life. Today we have over 47 million people on food stamps, over 13 million people are on the welfare rolls and growing every day, 6 million are on unemployment while 90 million are out of work and probably off of the job rolls. We hear from the news that more people are signing up for Medicaid than for Obama care. This so-called comprehensive health reform is fast becoming one more step to government taking over your life and one more step towards dictatorship.

Sequester

Sequester is about the over spending by the government.  While Obama want higher taxes - GOP wants spending cuts.  What Obama claims will happen if sequester is left to happen is happening already. 

Lorain: Hundreds of teachers being laid off _ Ohio

Since when is it okay for the President to lie and deceive to get his way?  Is the President of the United States suppose to threaten people to get his way or use scare tactics to cause fear in people to get his way?  Maybe sequester should be left alone if it means that money is cut from Air Force One and Obama's traveling campaign that is solving nothing but filling the air ways with propaganda.

Americans have seen their citizenship diminished, will soon see their health care diminished, been foreclosed on, have been layed-off or lost lost their job to foreigners at home or overseas, and have taxation without representation.

Wasted money

From Washington the Federal Election Commission stated that during the first six months of 2011, party committees that filed disclosure reports with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) raised a combined $242 million.  National party committees reported the receipt of over $95 million, representing an increase in fundraising by 14.4 percent and 26.5 percent over 2009 and 2007 totals, respectively, between January 1 and June 30.  Senatorial party committees raised $45 million, representing an increase in receipts by 2.4 percent over 2009 totals for the same period but a 4.5 percent decrease in receipts when compared to the same period in 2007.  Party committees supporting candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives reported combined receipts of $67.2 million, a 38.8 percent and a 2 percent increase over 2009 and 2007 six-month totals, respectively.

Would it not be nice if all that money went to help pay off our national debt instead of going to politicians that do not keep promises.

Easy come, Easy go

OK, just how do we feel about your lost of $1,233 due to our government investment firm? Bet you did not even know you had that to lose. According to Rick Newman, Chief Business Correspondent for U.S. News, that is what each household has now lost due to the hurry up bailouts. That’s $148 billion so far. Don’t wait for a dividend check. As he writes many who received bailout fund, nearly 700 firms, are still in trouble and will not be able to pay back money taxpayers gave unwillingly. I guess our government felt, easy come, easy go. Some are very close to declaring bankruptcy. Can we sue our government for breach of contract? Or can we write it off as a loss on our taxes?

Stimulus What?

Tab For Special Sessions Could Reach $1 Million

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) ―

The price tag for Illinois' special legislative sessions this year could reach $1 million, according to a published report.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Sunday that the state has already shelled out more than $840,000 to lawmakers to cover extra travel time and living expenses during the 16 special sessions ordered by Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

With another session set to start Wednesday on how to bailout the Chicago area's public transit system, the figure is likely to grow and could reach $1 million by the end of December.

Critics of the governor complained he's wasting time and tax dollars.

"I don't think anything of any note has come from all these special sessions," said Steve Brown, spokesman for Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan. "That's $800,000-plus dollars that could have been better spent on health care or education."

But a Blagojevich spokeswoman said the sessions are necessary because of legislative stalemates. She said the meetings could end if lawmakers passed measures more quickly.

"Unfortunately, lawmakers didn't pass a budget until August and still haven't passed legislation to address the long-term transit and infrastructure needs of our state," Blagojevich spokeswoman Abby Ottenhoff told the newspaper in a statement. "We can call the lawmakers into session, but the executive branch can't introduce and pass legislation."

State lawmakers earn $65,353 each year for their work during a regular legislative session during the first half of the year and a two-week follow up in the fall.

But the members of the House and Senate must be paid $125 for each day they attend a specially called legislative session. Many of the special sessions have lasted several days.

Those per diems amounted to $842,682 during the 42 days one or both chambers met in special session late September, according to figures provided by the Illinois comptroller's office.

At that rate, it would take only one more week of special meetings for the extra costs to reach $1 million.

That figure doesn't include travel and lodging costs of staff and other support services for lawmakers.

Earlier this year, Senate Republicans estimated the state pays about $40,000 a day for a fully attended special session.

All this money being spent and still no balanced budget. Is this what you voted in your Representatives for to fight amongst each other, give themselves a raise and give you a increase in taxes and fees? This is a all Democrat House and Senate, are you going to vote them back in to continue the circus?

It's your Money

Com Ed agreed to give customers a rebate for over cost they paid for electric. Now they want a 8% increase on your bill. There goes your rebate.

State Legislators passed 7% cap extension on property tax. Daley wants to increase property taxes to pay for (his) city deficit. There goes your property tax cap.

State Democratic Legislators can not pass budget because of infighting and ego's. In the end who will suffer for this - YOU.

Vote out Legislators that are not listening to the people, who think money is more important then you, who think themselves invincible.

Out with the OLD and in with the NEW.

If you been paying attention the our State representives, I can think of no better reason for us not to vote for any Democrate this election. Democrates hold the House and the Senate and they can not pass a budget bill because of infighting with each other. Please start looking at Republican Candidates, who unlike the Dems. do not want to raise our taxes. Our Federal Democrates have done nothing since they came in except not listening to us and raising our taxes as has the City and County officials.



Be Warned - Do Not Vote for any Democrap.
