Voters Aren’t Only Ones Listening

This candidate is also. And has been listening. For quite some time.

The unemployment picture is not getting better, it is getting worse. As is the financial health of our economy.

Yes. I would say November is looking like the speed bag in my garage.

P.S. I do not play golf. As to what the POTUS did today ….

Fast Work Shoddy Work When Sleepless

That’s what Congress has done. Thoroughly unprofessional.

There can be only one reason for this. And it has nothing to do with what they quoted for the reporters.

They are concerned, scared probably, that come November – they won’t be able to do what they just did to us.

Legacy – thy name is folly. May God Help Us.

“It’s a great moment. I’m proud to have been here,” said a teary-eyed Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), who as chairman of the Senate Banking Committee led the effort in the Senate. “No one will know until this is actually in place how it works [Edit: Here we go again!]. But we believe we’ve done something that has been needed for a long time. It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done.”

Which crisis was this Senator? Mortgage? Foreclosures? Economy? Your property in Ireland?

Shocking

For a little while. Only as much as we can afford, right, Senator Joe?

Message to you, Joe, we don’t need any such legislation piled on top of us like you did with Obamacare. Certainly not on top of the ever spiraling debt.

If anything, of those 50 that want to vote for it – we want those 50 to switch and vote AGAINST it! Along with those 20.

Tax Cuts, Jobs, Economy. The Truth.

All wrapped up. Just for you. The truth. Finally.
The Bush tax cuts versus what Obama/Pelosi said & did.

By the way, aren’t these tax cuts going to expire after the end of this year?
That means, you know, your take home pay is going to shrink.

Get ready for the pain.

The Future

I hate it when that happens.

My best friend and I were talking the other day about looming price increases on our fuel consumption such as gas and diesel. Well, here’s what a former Shell Executive has to say – we may be seeing $6 to $8 per gallon of fuel on the horizon.

I have one question for each of us. How much money do you have left to spend at the end of your monthly budget?

To expand on this: Will you be able to afford to go to work every day now? How about your grocery bill? Bet we are all going on a forced diet, you think? How often will you be cutting your grass now? Probably have to do it yourself since you won’t be able to afford paying your lawn service, right? Home deliveries of food, drugs, newspapers, trash and recycle pickups – all those are going to increase in their bills left in your mailbox. No more going out to eat, no more going to the mall or movies. (And let’s face it, there will likely be a rash of additional bankruptcies and foreclosures right on the heels of all these cost increases.)

And let’s not forget our electric bills.

Thank the Administration, folks. For their short-sightedness and reactionary policies involving the latest fiasco.

This is going to hurt. Big time.

UPDATE: And We Thought Oil Costs Too Much Already

We don’t have to wait for the bad news any more.

Say good bye to summer, folks. And for some time to come.

Congress, it wasn’t fun while you lasted. Get ready for your own ride.

Remember November.

UPDATE: And now, for something completely interesting, 76% of us think that offshore drilling is important to us. How about that?

Math Is Improving

Two Thirds don’t want to re-elect their present lawmakers.

Gee, I wonder why.

A Dull Needle

Healthcare.

Yeah, Congress isn’t quite done with it. Now they want to regulate those insurance premiums. And just when you thought 2,700+ pages was enough.

Oh, the humanity. Wherefore art thou?

(Give you a hint. It certainly is NOT in Congress.)

IRS Discloses Tax Data

The report reveals that the IRS made 7.6 billion disclosures of tax return information to federal and state agencies (up from 5.3 billion in 2008 and 4.5 billion in 2007).

Information overload?

From the comments: That’s roughly 25 disclosures for every man, woman, and child, in this country. If you group us into average family units of four, then it’s roughly 100 disclosures for every taxable family unit.

This alone looks like a very good reason to change to a Fair Tax system. Currently, this is within the house and senate as HR25 and S296.

I Won’t Say Thank You

And most folks I know won’t either.

Here’s the best synopsis why.
