Nightmare on K Street

 

I suppose it is only apropos that the nightmare on K Street begin on the eve of Halloween.   The Democrats, fulfilling a promise to destroy healthcare and bankrupt our nation, have come up with the most insidious legislation in the history of the Republic. 

Containing over 400,000 words in 1,990 pages, their healthcare bill doesn’t even use the word doctor.   It is page upon page of legal mumbo jumbo that Nancy Pelosi and her ilk have graciously agreed to post on the internet for all to read.   But you better read quick because they are planning a vote for next week! Considering that the Torah contains only 80,000 words and takes a typical synagogue congregation a year to read how do you suppose the Democrats will justify a vote in five days? Simple; they have no intention of reading the bill.  

The CBO is putting the cost of this bill, which by the way doesn’t even provide coverage for every American, at $1.05 TRILLION dollars!   Not a million, not a billion…but a trillion dollars.    To put this in perspective, the U.S. government in 2006 took in $1.04 trillion in TOTAL tax revenue.    Since then, taxes have gone up, so revenue has gone down which is a concept still foreign to liberals. 

This bill contains a tax increase and puts taxes on the path to reaching new highs not seen since the failed days of Jimmy Carter.   This will result in a tax upon every American who works because there is no other way to pay for this insidious piece of legislation that runs counter to everything that American stands for. Simply put, those who vote for this legislation should be brought up on charges of treason, because this type of generational theft is not only un-American but it is criminal. 

If I walked up to you, pointed a gun at your head and stole your wallet I would go to jail.   That is exactly what the government is doing, creating massive penalties for those who don’t play by the rules in this ponzi scheme that makes the crimes of Bernie Madoff seem like misdemeanors.  

Making matters worse, this bill was crafted in a closed door session involving one political party. So much for the bipartisanship promised during teleprompter laden campaign speeches.   What is occurring in Washington will be seen through the prism of history as tantamount to the rise of Marxism in the Soviet Union and Nazism in Germany.   It is a government that has overstepped its bounds and usurped the will of the people for its own political gain and power.

We have a chance to do something and we have one year to get prepared to do it.   Every person who votes for this bill needs to be removed from office.   Every person who does not openly voice dissent also needs to be removed from office.   Every two years we have the power to engage in a revolution at the ballot box and it is high time that we did just that.  

We need to kick those in Congress who have so little regard for the American people and Constitution to the curb and start over.   We need to take back the reins of government from those who seek to undo two hundred plus years of greatness.   It’s time for accountability to find its way inside the beltway and for this who have failed the American people, such as Nancy Pelosi and her ilk, to be called out for their insidious actions.

Obamanomics is Doomed to Failure...and that is a good thing!

 

It was bad enough when someone lacking the experience to be so much as a Wal-Mart greeter was installed by ACORN as president of the United States.   Now we have union thug Dennis Hughes, former head of the AFL-CIO, appointed (most likely payback for campaign contributions) as Chairman of the Federal Reserve for New York.  

How is it possible that so many completely unqualified people are being placed in positions of such great power and Responsibility? Remember, the AFL-CIO is largely to blame for our trade deficit and the moving of manufacturing jobs overseas.   This power hungry, mob controlled organization ranks right up there with the modern day Democrat Party in their culpability for the destruction of economic freedom and individual liberty in what was once the United States of America. 

All the while, Mr. Obama takes a vacation at a $35,000 dollar a day estate with the nation losing a war in Afghanistan and the economy in the tank.   I wonder if any of this will make CNN or will they be too busy extolling the virtues Obamanomics and Obamacare…which by the way are both destined to fail. 

It guess from the Obama perspective now is as good a time as any to get the hell out of Dodge as his poll numbers continue in a free fall rivaled only by Nancy Pelosi and her seditious alliance over on Capitol Hill. I wonder what part of enough is enough these self serving narcissists don’t get? Then again, this isn’t about us…it’s about them and their never ending quest for power and control over the dumb masses.

My guess is this reprieve from Washington will buy some time for Democrats to plot their course for ramming some form of socialized medicine through Congress on a party line vote.   Interestingly the AFL-CIO and other union thugs have resorted their ubiquitous intimidation tactics against Blue Dog Democrats who provide the only chance for derailing Marxist medicine in Congress. 

It appears that once again Obama has lied to the public as he steers the course of beltway dialogue away from bipartisanship, currying favor to lobbyists from radical, left wing organizations who are demanding more government in our lives.   Then again, those of us with intelligence (read those that did not vote for the messiah) knew that he never intended to govern from the center (another Obama lie) but rather from the far left as evidenced by his track record while acting as a puppet for Bill Ayers and ACORN. 

There is no doubt that the worst is yet to come, as government intervention in healthcare will doom us to a double dip recession.  With the CBO now stating that the Obama deficit is now headed to $9 TRILLION dollars there is no way that the nation under liberal leadership can survive.   This type of monetizing of debt will result in stagflation that would make even Jimmy Carter blush with envy.   It is highly likely that unemployment will hit 15% (30% among Obama voters) before all is said and done and within the next couple of years inflation will rear its ugly head as the Fed will be unable to use interest rates to control inflation due to nobody having jobs and credit remaining relatively tight.   Then again, this is all part of the liberal plan to create mass hysteria and ultimately dependency on the nanny state government.   Perhaps now is the time for everyone to say a prayer that Obama fail miserably because if he succeeds in his quest for power and control the nation that we once knew will cease to exist.
