Our Debt Explained

Warring Against the Classes

Or, just one class. Trouble is, the POTUS has just one class in mind. And he wants automatic tax hikes when they (he) overspends.

His solution? Check this out –

A “debt failsafe trigger,” Obama’s scheme would automatically raise taxes if politicians spend too much. According to the talking points distributed by the White House, the automatic tax increase would take effect “if, by 2014, the projected ratio of debt-to-GDP is not stabilized and declining toward the end of the decade.”

Use of Our Tax Money

In order to sell us on Obamacare. Up to $200M of our hard earned money.

How does that make you feel now? I need a drink. Oops, Maryland legislature just increased taxes on alcoholic drinks by 50%. Guess that’s not going to work.

AZ SB1070 Thwarted

Parts of that illegal immigration law – by the 9th Circuit Appeals Court. Imagine my surprise.
At least now this issue just may step up into the realm for SCOTUS involvement.

And ABC News seems to agree. However, an excerpt:

A central provision of the law requires police officers to ask for immigration papers if they have a reasonable suspicion that the person they have stopped, detained or arrested is in the country illegally.

Sounds suspiciously just like the 287G program that County Sheriffs enter into withe I.C.E.

So it sounds to me that Arizona has replicated that program to be workable for the state.

I fail to see a problem here, that is, other than the blatant poliitics on the part of DOJ.

UPDATE: Speechless

Now can we say this is an illegal, warrantless search against all forms of common sense in the U.S.A.??????

UPDATE: TSA defends this.

Yeah? How about – keep your filthy hands off my kids! They are too small for burqas and too small to hide anythng.

Incompetence From the Top Down

April Fools has been over for a bit.

So why would the White House think we would find their tacit admission that their 2012 budget plan wasn’t serious – funny?

This is beyond infuriating. This is unconscionable, ill-conceived, unwarranted and – to me – treasonous to the extreme since it detrimentally affects every – single – living (and yet to be) American in this country.

Lifting Gun Bans on College Campuses

It is important. Just ask Amanda Collins.
Better yet, read what happened to her and the next victim after her.

She has a good head on her shoulders.

“I don’t understand why (the state) trusts good, responsible people to be able to have their firearm across the street, and as soon as they cross an arbitrary line, they somehow lose all reason and ability to be able to be competent with that responsibility. It makes no sense to me at all.”

I hope it stays there.

UPDATE: Putting the Record Straight

Regarding the Thuggery in Wisconsin, and elsewhere.

Make no mistake: The knock-down, drag-out battle in Wisconsin is based on total self-interest, pushing for past privileges, recast as workers’ “rights” that ultimately could bankrupt that state. One would think “collective bargaining rights” are immutable, found in the Bill of Rights, or in The Universal Rights of Man, to hear the public union officials and their lackeys in the Legislature. It is simply not so.

Gary Larson is quite right.

UPDATE: And in Washington state we have this:

WI AG Calls for State Supremes to Intervene

[JURIST] Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen [official website] on Thursday filed a filed a Petition for Supervisory Writ [text, PDF] directly to the state Supreme Court over a circuit court judge’s temporary blocking [JURIST report] of a controversial bill that limits the rights of public employee unions. The suit claims that Dane County Circuit Court [official website] Judge Maryann Sumi did not have the constitutional authority to block the publication of the Budget Repair Bill [Senate Bill 11 text, PDF]. It then asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court [official website] to immediately take jurisdiction of the case and dismiss it. A Petition for Supervisory Writ is not a direct appeal of any lower court decision, but rather a procedure that starts a new action altogether [Wis. Stat. 809.70 text] because the petitioner claims a judge violated his or her constitutional authority.

“a judge violated his or her constitutional authority” well now, someone has it right.

Let’s wait and see if the state Supreme Court will agree.

Our Way of Life and Freedom is at Risk

George Soros keeps funding meetings and organizations bent on “reforming” the entire, global, financial system.
Particularly, and especially the United States.

Think it’s bad now? Just you wait. The media, and government, doesn’t care about this – their silence implies consent and agreement.
