I read an article today about the Department of Justice investigating S & P. You can read the article here. As you recall, S & P downgraded the U.S. credit from the AAA rating this country has held for years. I think it is interesting that the Department of Justice would hold this investigation, but, not cooperate on the botched "Fast & Furious" program.
I think it is a shame that our politicians can't seem to get their priorities in order. We have guns crossing the border into Mexico that was permitted by our government which was involved with the murder of one of our border agents in Southern Arizona. "Agent Brian A. Terry was gunned down the frenzied shoot out that involved a cadre that robs illegal immigrants" . Agent Terry was killed December 2010 trying to protect our borders and our citizens by one of the guns involved in the "Fast and Furious" operation.
Today we hear of those guns being involved in 11 more violent crimes. Read the story here. Let's get real here. Which is more important, the lives of our citizens or the downgrade of this country's credit rating being downgraded? Don't get me wrong, but our credit rating can be repaired. The lives of those affected by the "Fast and Furious" debacle cannot.
Why isn't the Department of Justice cooperating with the Congressional House oversight committee. Who are they trying to protect? Is it Eric Holder, or could it be our own President. Why are they not being honest with Congress and the families of those who have been injured by the "Fast and Furious" operation. Could it be that they have not found a scape goat yet? What happened to "transparency"?
I only hope for the sake of the families that have been injured by this operation, that they receive the justice that they so rightly deserve. We as American citizens should demand our politicians give these families and the American people, what we deserve. JUSTICE!

George Soros and the U.S. markets
As I watched the U. S. Markets fluctuate last week, I couldn't help but think of George Soros. Then I read about Insider trading investigation. Then I remembered reading an article on July 26, 2011 about George Soros was going to "return around $1bn (£625m) to outside investors due to the Dodd-Frank Act" . Funny how on July 21,2011 a "A mystery investor or hedge fund reportedly made a bet of almost $1billion at odds of 10/1 last month that the U.S. would lose its AAA credit rating".
Who is George Soros? "He became known as "The man who broke the Bank of England". Now what does that have to do with the U.S. ? He is known for "collapsing the system" of other countries and plans to do that to the United States. Why would he want to destroy this country and others. Simply put, he wants a "New world order". More on that later.
For a better understanding of what is happening and what to expect in the future, please watch this video on Glenn Beck explaining who George Soros is.

Uniting the country
When campaigning for President in 2007, Obama made the comment regarding Hillary Clinton "I think it is fair to say that I believe I can bring the country together more effectively than she can," read it here. I have to wonder where he is at when it comes to bringing the country together? Well, let's just take a look.
He pushed Obamacare through when the majority of the country was screaming they didn't want it.
Our National debt is currently over $14 trillion and rising by the second. Every taxpayer now owes the government over $130,000. Every citizen owes over $46,000. That will rise as spending continues.
Unemployment is at 9.1 %.
He now has set fuel standards for the big riggs, that deliver our food and supplies, that will end up costing us more money in the long run, since these companies have to pass the cost on to their customers. Which in turn, passes that cost on to us. Read the story here.
He is constantly blaming the Republican party for everything that is happening in this country today. He and the Democrats, as well as the main street media are constantly calling the "tea party" everything from Terrorists to being racist. You can read the latest rant here.
If this is his idea of "uniting" the country, I would hate to see what he would do to "destroy" the country. I have news for Obama and the Democrats. YOU are the ones who are destroying this country. Yes, some of the blame should go to George W. Bush, he never should have passed the first T.A.R.P bill. But, he did. This mess has been building up for years, long before President Bush.
I have stated before, and I will state it again, WE the PEOPLE, can make a difference. We have to make our Politicians accountable and hold them accountable. We can let them know, in a non-violent way, that we will not take this any more. We are a civilized nation, and we can handle this in a civilized way. We the People can and should take our country back.
We need to see the truth about our politicians and the state of our country and make the sacrifices that are necessary to get our country back to being the best, most prosperous country in the world.
The Constitution states: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. At the rate things are going, were are these rights today? Where will they be tomorrow, if we don't do anything about it now? Will our next generation and future generations have these rights? The answers lies with us.

US Credit rating
Last night the S & P downgraded the credit rating of the United States. You can read the report here. Is it a surpise to anyone? After all we have borrowed so much money and our politicians have gone crazy with spending.
Our future may look gloomy and depressing, but, WE can change it. In the last 60 days the amount of regulations that have gone into effect is staggering. What does this mean to us? Higher prices in everything. You can see how many regulations and what they mean here.
What can WE do to change the direction this country is going in? We need to prepare ourselves, and our children for the worst, hope for the best, keep up to date on what is going on and how it affects us. Get involved by voiceing your opinion with your politician. Get educated on the canidates running for office and select the one that has the creditials you are looking for.
Are we willing to make the sacrifices that are necessary to save future generations, or are we too greedy? I know many parents that would risk their lives for their children, but, scream when it comes to their Social Security and Medicare. Yes, we paid into it and we should get our benefits, but, would it really hurt us to postpone these benefits for 6 months or a year? If it would take some of the burden off my children and grandchildren so they could have the life that I have enjoyed, the answer is a no brainer.
We the people need to take control of our lives, our futures, the future of our children, and put priorties in order. We cannot and should not depend on our government. We need to resurrect and re-learn how to use "common sense".
If you want to begin educating yourself on how our money is spent, this will be a good start for you and an eye opener. The President's budget for 2012
