My idea of a stimulus package

Give every legal American citizen 1 million dollars.  That includes children.  I would exclude anyone making 1 million dollars or more.

What does this accomplish?  Redistribution of wealth?  In a way, yes.  We have paid taxes for years and our parents have paid taxes for years and look at how it has been spent.  In my opinion it would be more like a refund than redistributing wealth.

The benefits.  We would be able to pay off bills, homes, cars, etc., or invest.  That would help the banks with a flood of money. Banks improved.

 Mortgages would be either paid off or reduced drastically.  People who have lost their homes would be able to buy a new home.  Housing market improved.

With the influx of money, more people would be spending and jobs would need to be filled in order to fill the products and needs of those who received the money,  Job problem solved.

People may even want to start their own business.  Capitalism restored.

Why children?  Money could be put up for their college or whatever they need when they reach the age of adulthood.  College tuition paid.

Now with all this, there would be no need for food stamps and welfare.  This would cause these programs to either be eliminated or "tweaked" for those who really need it.  This would also allow Social Security to be fixed.  No one who received this payout would be eligible for any government help for a minimum of 10 years.

Now this would be a one time deal.  All welfare, food stamps, and yes even Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid would stop for a period of at least 10 years.  Why would you need any of these programs if you had 1 million dollars in your hands?  So, you would have to be responsible or deal with the consequences of no government help.

This would be tax free.  How do we pay for it?  All the politicians would contribute.

More control

I should not be surprised by this, but, it amazes me how much the battle for gun control is just outrageous.  Instead of punishing the government officials who were involved in the "Fast and Furious", our politicians just won't give up on trying to get guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens.   In this article: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Sunday the shooting of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords should have sparked a national dialogue about gun laws.


I am so tired of our politicians blaming everyone but themselves for the mess our country is in.  Yes, we are ALL to blame for this mess.  Our previous politicians have tried to brainwash us into thinking that whatever they do, they do for our "children", our "safety", and for our "best interest".  We sat back and let it all happen.  We have been so busy with ourselves, our children, and even sports to pay attention to what is going on around us as well as what has happened to us in the past.


Our Constitution, our Rights, our freedoms, and our beliefs are being attacked on a daily basis.  For centuries we have fought for our freedoms and our rights.  Now all that is being attacked and our freedoms have slowly been taken away from us as well as our rights.  Why have we allowed this to happen?  Have we forgotten all those men and women who fought and died for us to have what we have today, be for nothing?


I hear on a daily basis "There's nothing we can do about it".  That is just wrong.  Even though we may not be able to, or want to go into battle, but, will allow others to do the work for us, doesn't mean that we can't do anything about it.  We should educate ourselves and get involved with the political process and vote out those that have trampled over our Constitution, our rights, and our freedoms.  It is up to us, and only us, to fix this country.  We can no longer "trust" our government to take care of us. That is how we got here to begin with.  Why should we keep asking the politicians to fix things when they only make matters worse?

Presidential Candidates

I took some time off to change out my computers and during that time I debated on whether or not to continue to blog.  There is just so much going on with this country and this "President" as well as with all the candidates that are running against Obama.

I have watched sooo many debates and listened carefully to what each candidate had to say.  I have listened to all the accusations and all the candidates pointing fingers at one another.  I have watched the news media swoon over Mitt Romney.

Here is my take on the GOP candidates.  Let's take Ron Paul.  I like Ron Paul.  He is a real Constitutionalist.  He represents the meaning and the ideas of the Constitution and the purpose that it was designed for.

Rick Santorum, I'm not real sure about.  He sounds good and he seems to have a good record and appears to want to do the right thing for the country.  I'm still doing research on him.

Newt Gringrich.  Now, he understands what is happening with this country better than anyone else.  He understands the dangers of George Soros and the teachings of Saul Alinsky.  Both of these are playing a huge role in what is happening with the destruction of our country.

Mitt Romney.  Not only is he responsible for the Romney care in Massachusetts, but, he also has some connection to the teachings of Saul Alinsky.  Mitt Romney's father liked Saul Alinsky and his ideas.  George Soros has also came out and said that there is little difference between Obama and Romney.  He has also flipped flopped more than any other candidate.  He also speaks of being an "Washington Outsider" and believes that is what we need to turn this country around.  Well, wasn't Obama a "Washington Outsider" when he ran for President.  How is that working out for you?

This is one of the most important decisions we have to make in our lifetime.  Not only this election but, the elections to follow if we want to keep our country strong and safe, not only for ourselves, but, for our children and their children.  Instead of all the negative accusations that are being thrown out there on each of the candidates, not only by the candidates themselves, but, the obvious push by the media as to who we should choose for President, we should do our own research and pick the candidate that best suites the needs of our country in order to begin the restoration of our beloved country and our individual rights.

"Occupiers" out of control?

I'm not surprised with all those involved with the Occupy movement that eventually things could very easily get out of control.  The question is when or has it already?  There are people involved with this movement who have been waiting on this for a long time.  Some want to tear this country apart and put in a new government.  What kind of government is a good question.  Needless to say the government they want will not be good for everyone.

According to this article:

Widely known as Occupy Wall Street, the movement has gained momentum with mass, often violent protests that have paralyzed cities across the nation. In New York more than 150 people were arrested and several police officers suffered injuries. In Oakland California police were forced to use riot gear and tear gas to disperse the huge, violent crowds and in Las Vegas nearly two dozen protesters were arrested.

Leading the campaign is President Obama’s good friend, civil rights lawyer Van Jones, the highly-touted “Green Czar” who was booted amid controversy over his radical history. A Yale Law School grad, Jones became a communist after the 1992 Rodney King riots in Los Angeles and says he loathes capitalism because it exploits nonwhite minorities worldwide. Jones is a committed Marxist-Leninist-Maoist who became a revolutionary after meeting “young radical people of color” in jail and views police officers as the arch enemies of black people.

If that isn't disturbing enough, according to this article:

Not only is Barack Obama‘s terrorist buddy Bill Ayers teaching revolutionary theory at Occupy Chicago… His former terrorist group the Weather Underground has joined up with the #Occupy Oakland movement in California.

It is very disturbing at what the "occupiers" are getting away with.  If this were the "Tea Party", they would all be in jail.  According to this article:  "Occupy Oakland Hosts Gay Porn Movie Shoot". Enough said.

Now according to this article:

Los Angeles officials have offered Occupy L.A. protesters a package of incentives that includes downtown office space and farmland in an attempt to persuade them to abandon their camp outside of City Hall, according to several demonstrators who have been in negotiations with the city.

Now the "Occupiers" are wanting to boycott Black Friday".  Don't they know that this will only hurt the 99% they claim to represent, who have jobs at these businesses.  Do they really think this will hurt the "1 %"?  According to this website:

Below is a shortlist for publicly traded large businesses to Occupy or to boycott on Black Friday. Luckily, most of them don't have good presents anyway. If you want to see the top 100 retail businesses for 2010 to boycott, click here.

The future of our children

Nothing about this government surprises me anymore.  Now Nancy Pelosi wants control of our children.  Is this a big surprise to any of us?  Our government is determined to control every aspect of our lives, including especially our children.

In this article:

“One of the great pieces of unfinished business is high-quality child care; I wonder why we just can’t do that,’’ Pelosi said. Her spokesman Drew Hammill said later that she doesn’t have a specific child-care proposal at the ready; that’s what the legislative process is for. But the Nixon-era legislation of which she spoke approvingly subsidized child care for low-income parents and was available to anyone who wanted to pay for it. “She sees this as the next big problem to tackle,’’ Hammill said.

What about our schools?  According to this article:

On a mission to narrow the academic achievement gap between minorities and whites, the Obama Administration has ordered the nation’s second-largest public school district to cut back on disciplining black students and develop a special curriculum for those who don’t speak English.

In this article:

Students, tests and cash were the perfect variables to fatten high school math teacher Jeff Spires’ wallet, officials said, but administrators pulled the plug on him after several students brought his alleged pay-for-grades scheme to their attention.

And in this article:

A student at Western Nevada College has filed a sexual harassment claim against the school, citing her experiences in Tom Kubistant’s Human Sexuality class. The student, Karen Royce, alleged that Kubistant instructed students to masturbate twice as often and keep detailed accounts of their sexual lives. According to The Arizona Republic:

Now in this article:

The Obama administration dedicated at least $18 million to convince Kenyans to ratify the new constitution, which expanded women’s legal right to an abortion.  Although a 1981 law known as the Siljander Amendment specifically states “none of the funds made available under this Act may be used to lobby for or against abortion,” one recipient of U.S. aid pressed the issue anyway.

Now, the way I see it, if the government got out of the way and took less of our money that we work so hard for and let us keep it, we would have the time to look at these things and stop it before it happens.  Our government always uses our children as a tool to get what they want and then this is how they "help the children".  Parents need to be as active as possilbe in what the schools are teaching our children.  What will be next?  Take our children away right after birth?

What will tomorrow bring

According to reports, Occupy Wall Street protesters plan an event tomorrow to shut down the city.  According to the video in this article:

In a rant that appears to have been captured after Tuesday’s Zuccotti park eviction in New York City, a man in the middle of the angry protesters reveals his idea of what’s next for the movement: “we’re going to burn this shi* to the motherfu**ing ground on the 17th!”

If it weren't enough that the protesters are planning this, SEIU is also planning to help out.  According to this article:

The SEIU is planning a “Bridge Action Day” for Obama.The overpaid government union goons will shut down traffic on US bridges and harass US workers going to work on Thursday morning.

According to this article:

One of the boldest labor thugs in America today is Stephen Lerner, a crafty economic terrorist who manages to sound like a folksy self-improvement seminar leader while he explicitly calls for the overthrow of capitalism.

An SEIU board member, Lerner is one of the architects of a subversive plan that aims to destroy the nation’s financial system through intimidation, mass protests, and the mob violence that accompanies it. As part of it, Lerner targeted JPMorgan Chase for attack earlier this year because the bank would be “a really good company to hate.”

What can we expect?  Maybe it will be a non-violent event.  I hope so.  With the history of the violence that has already occurred in many places with this "movement" and with the support of SEIU, I have my doubts it will be peaceful.  We will have to wait and see.

Did you know?

Which is better, big government or smaller government?  That is a question many have asked.  I have stated before that the bigger the government is, the harder it is for us to know what is going on with our government and our money.  As citizens, the bigger the government is, the more they can pass through with new laws or spending projects. I admit that I am a small government person.  Here is why.  Did you know:

HUD has given $730,000 to ACORN

President Obama has given ACORN $729,849 so far this year and billions more in federal cash may be in the pipeline.
The president’s new economic stimulus package, the so-called “jobs bill,” contains as much as $15 billion for radical left-wing groups such as ACORN (his former employer). Obama has been using his presidential bully pulpit to demand that Republicans in Congress “pass this bill,” even though there is no bill yet. Despite all the rhetoric, the proposed “American Jobs Act of 2011” apparently hasn’t even been introduced in Congress.

$443 Million for a smallpox drug

Over the last year, the Obama administration has aggressively pushed a $433-million plan to buy an experimental smallpox drug, despite uncertainty over whether it is needed or will work.

$750,000 to virtually deserted airport

The St. Cloud Regional Airport is banking on a recently announced $750,000 federal grant to land an airline at the airport that’s been virtually deserted since Delta terminated service in and out of St. Cloud in late 2009. Despite a $5 million makeover of the terminal two years ago, St. Cloud’s airport has mostly sat idle as the city desperately seeks new commercial airline partners. St. Cloud received $750,000 in federal stimulus funding to assist with a portion of the renovation, but the project has thus far amounted to a passenger boarding bridge to nowhere.

$7 Million paid to foreign workers

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A federal investigation found that at least $7 million in federal stimulus money intended to provide jobs for unemployed Oregonians instead paid wages to 254 foreign workers.

These are just a few.  I know what I would do if that money was in my pocket.  Talk about stimulating the economy.
