Loose Cannon Fire for 6 4 11

Ready, aim, FIRE...

When a "progressive" says "reform" that only means they want people to THINK it's a positive thing.
Would letting in anyone help everyone?
Who wouldn't claim amnesty?
If there isn't enough jobs for everyone now, why allow more, except to gain votes?

Of course someone from la Times would think it's right on, they think a greater tax burden would help too.



Too little and way too late!!
The POTUS should of been dealing with this mess when he first became President. After all, he did boast that if HE was President he would lower gas prices to near $2.00 per gallon if not lower!
He did burden the entire country with a health care plan and bail outs that have indentured generations to pay for his brand of Hope and Change. What has changed? Every part of my health care has doubled. I pay almost double for gas. I have to live on less, or work more to maintain the same standard of living I had before Obama came into office.



Reality check. Which side wants the other side wiped off the map?
Giving anything to the Palestinians in exchange or hope for peace is like giving money to extortionists in the hope that they will not continue to extort you.
Trying to deal with terrorist groups like Hamas, who runs the Palistinian government, by offering land for peace, is like giving a drug addict one last hit because they promise to never ask again.



Good for Chiang! Let's see if those brainless surgeons in Sactown can actually balance the budget without enslave us with more taxes.
Something has to give and it should not be working peoples money.



John Edwards didn't break the law?
When you don't believe you will one day answer to THE JUDGE, the truth is only what you can manipulate it to be.
The leftist press? Thanks for manipulated truth at its' best.

Playing With Other People's Money

Image by mandiberg via Flickr

The funny thing about other people's money or money you didn't earn is that for most people it's like play money or funny money. Unfortunately, for may many politicians, playing with our hard earned taxes is just playing with funny money. If they run out many politicians think they'll just print more, tax more, or borrow more. 

I commend the Republicans for rejecting the proposal to raise the debt limit. The only problem is that Republican leader Eric Cantor said, "there is no support in the People’s House for a debt limit increase without real spending cuts and binding budget process reforms." So, does that mean Eric Cantor and many Republicans would agree to raise the debt ceiling if certain conditions are met? This is what frightens me about politicians, they say things but do another. They say what people want to hear but play with money like it will never run out. Some people want to hear that the debt ceiling will not rise because they know debt is debt. Other people just want to hear that certain programs will be funded and how it happens matters not. Eric just  pandered to both. He is saying no more debt but leaving room for it if certain "real" cuts happen. 

My message to all politicians: NO DEBT. REDUCE THE BONDAGE OF DEBT!

No Tax Tuesday: Government Tax Cheats: The 5 31 11 Edition

It never ceases to amaze me how government programs in the end only serve as a means for some to try and cheat the system. John Ransom does a great job of describing the greed.

The Democrats’ predilection for “stimulating” the economy with tax credits that redistribute wealth, instead of tax cuts that preserve wealth, has created conditions of rampant fraud amongst government agencies including the IRS, government sponsored corporations, like General Motors (aka Government Motors), and individual tax filers according to several recent reports from the federal government and government watchdog groups.

Follow http://finance.townhall.com/columnists/johnransom/2011/05/31/dems_greed_is_good_as_a_tax_credit/page/full/ to read the whole story.

So why does a tax break or "incentive" turn out to be a way for people to try and cheat their way to a fast buck? Because career politicians don't normally take into consideration the mannishness of man(kind). Meaning that we as humans have a propensity for both good and evil. Adding to this ability of humans to be good and evil is the moral relativism  that guides the thinking processes of the modern mind. The end can justify the means. It's not wrong if you really needed the money...

Before I really go off on a tangent I would like to encourage you to read the whole article and to hold your elected officials accountable by your vote. 

Flush 'em Friday: The 5 27 11 Edition

Welcome to Flush 'em Friday, the 5 27 11 Edition.
Let's get to it with the people, things or whatever might be that annoys, bothers, and/or makes me wait longer than I want to.

Below is this weeks list of flushees:

• Poodles and chihuahuas for being pretentiousness and neurotic extensions of their owners.
• People who own poodles and chihuahuas for being pretentious and neurotic enough to own at least one and be seen in public with walking or holding one. (Several other small but otherwise useless breeds may be included)
• Women who are over 40 and shop at Forever 21. You not. Act your age. 
• Barney Frank for being such a cotton-headed ninny muffin (see Elf: useless elf)
• Janice Hahn for having such novel ideas as taxing pot distributors...
• Teacher's Unions for wanting to "save jobs" rather than create job creators...
•  People who take up two parking spaces...

Feel free to send me your additions...

Which came first, the chicken or the house?

I've been seeing these annoying commercials about, of all things, the housing market. The apparent point is that the housing market creates jobs. OK, so I should now go buy a recently built home? This is almost a classic which came first, the chicken or the egg question. But, not really. 

First of all,  I don't think that building new homes creates jobs. On the other hand, I do believe that jobs provide the funds for people to purchase homes, even newly built homes. So, unless the housing market is being subsidized, which would be a really stupid idea, there needs to be a need for new homes and capital to purchase the homes in  order for them to be built. There may be a need, but, without jobs to provide funds for people to make the payments on the mortgages it is just another financial disaster waiting to happen.  Speculators may build homes in the hopes (speculation) that people will buy them. True, a few carpenters will work to build them, but those are temporary jobs, not sustainable stay in one place jobs. 

Now, why are these "commercials" being broadcast on a daily basis? Is it because I need to be convinced that housing creates jobs? It sounds a bit like propaganda to me. That makes me very leery of the people who are putting these adds out. Now, if the beef council puts out an add about "Beef, it's whats for dinner." I know it is because people in the beef industry want me to buy more beef. But I am not going to buy a house unless I need one (I do) and the price of homes in my area are right (they are not, they are still over valued). So, why do we have these "adds"? I hope we don't see another "stimulus" package on the horizon.

No Tax Tuesday: Hahn vs. Huey or She'll tax, He'll tax me not 5 24 11 Edition

Well California are you tired of the likes of Janice Hahn yet? Are you fed up with the fantasy that you can spend your way to prosperity policies of our current government?


On July 12th we have a opportunity to radically shift the power and policies of the people that are extorting our lives work away on empty promises, also known as the Democratic Party.


We have Janice Hahn who has done little to nothing to help her home town of San Pedro to grow. She has led the way with innovative ideas like taxing pot dispensaries. Even if she did pull it off how much tax revenue would that really create? Most of the pot is sold on the streets of her hometown in the "non-taxed" marketplace.


The following is a little blurb from CBS 8 in San Diego:

Craig's commonsense approach is at odds with the fantasy economics of Janice Hahn.

Hahn = Higher taxes, hurts the economy	Huey = Lower taxes, creates an economic boom
Hahn = More debt, destroys the economy	Huey = No debt, creates economic growth
Hahn = More govt. policies, destroys jobs	Huey = Economic stability, creates jobs
Hahn = More govt. spending, raises prices	Huey = Control spending, lowers prices

On July 12th there will be a clear difference Craig Huey and Janice Hahn. Janice Hahn like Jerry Brown only knows how to create taxes, not jobs. Craig Huey knows how to create jobs, not taxes.  

California, you make the call.
