• New Poll: A Plurality of Democrats Think ‘Big Government’ is More of a Threat Than ‘Big Business’

  Another reason the Executive Orders must not stand longer than 30 days. Omnibus Legislation should never exist. Line Item Vote/Veto up or down must be included anytime a legislative bill is longer than 4 pages of common English, and that includes one dollar of expenditure or one remote possibility of regulatory action, presented to the citizens for look see 90 days for each page.

  The National Party plantation is the governing body. Plantation labor needs wishfully create the citizen works for the Owner. A person that thrives under tyranny has no reason for dissent.

  Historically Tariffs create open economic warfare. If the loudest belligerents is able to muscle its way around the trading block, the big guy always wins. If the battlefield is limited in a specific product, ie – solar collectors that has some universal buyer, outside of the biggest belligerents, and that buyer is paying a subsidy to its citizens, the tariff become like used toilet tickets.

  The notion that we as a nation earned our economic freedom via the 20th century technology is mostly hearsay – second person. There were 2 really big wars, these always have drastic side effects, and then the no shot fired Cold War fueled a false image. Remnants of a free market kept the market in a state of ‘in-spite of’ production. Totally Free Markets have not existed in the United States for 100 years. Ear Mark technology has kept any number of domestic markets in business. View it from the bubbles, one after another. Of course the priest of governance have always used the collection plate statistics called pew orientation – left side did this, the right side did that. The Church of Big Government worships the same idol, only from slightly asqued pew number seats. L-23 or R-44. One and the same.

  Reading while driving! It happens, at least once in my experience. Congested urban heavy traffic. Some stop and go – where a driver next to me was reading a kindle like reader, held in place with hand on the steering wheel. Oh, he was just prepared for the stop and go.

  Right you are. But the 112th House has submitted a budget proposal, remember? The Senate has not even considered one for the past one and a half congressional sessions. The House Speaker is protecting his big government roots. Any politician has the ability to flip flop, if there is some gold involved. Greed is not single source of current rich people. Greed is a component of all humans. The king of all lust. Our President has not operated within a Budget. And he will never have to be a leader. “I want my fair share, you pay more” is raw greed.

  Even the Greek in the street citizens are greedy sobe’s- they say cut those other guys, do not cut my entitlement. To these a free job means government provided. Greece has achieved that what we have not, as of yet, total transformation into a permanent serfdom leveraged by redistribution.

  The House and Senate of 2008 passed a naked raw greed providing no oversight bill, bailout, of Too Big to fail banks. Why no oversight? Because the then King did not ask for oversight? Did the King hold a gun to the head of those greedy House majority members? That bill was typical of the monumental incompetence of professional politicians. If We the People had the ability -law that allowed suing the person (not the government) for damages of their incompetence by not protecting my investment (government tax-debt), these things would end in a short time. Incompetence is the manager-creator of $15 trillion debt.

  I ain’t got no place to shed da anchor – my house and property value is continuing to fall. A likely buyer is not going to invest until the train-wreck crash stops moving and the dust settles.

• Boehner to Obama: Why Have You ‘Given up on the Country?’

  October 6, 2011 at 3:01pm

  In reply to TxMadMac.

  AFLCIO union member, rank and file, repeated this same notion in 1960. Over and over that democracy ruled. Simple democracy. And now at the first step toward committee that selects a Chairman.

  The 17th Amendment in some part was justified via this same argument demanding simple vote selection. 1913 Was the beginning of what is viewed in Congress today. That amendment was tending to a need of corruption. ‘Treason of the Senate”. What the people were given is the one-way track to eliminate a ‘state’ rights of anything.

  In reply to Baikonur.

  6 Bills have been sent to the Senate. Of these recent 6 none have made the Senate floor. Obama Health bill was managed by a committee of and through the ‘shadow gov’t’. No single representative had read the entire bill and yet there was a successful yes vote. Most had some of their staff read small sections and report back.None knew what was inside the bill, and yet ‘represented’ the people.

  What is being exhibited in the White House and the Legislature-both houses is Panel-committee government. Super 12. There is very little Representative governance in the past 2+ years. House Speaker Boehner is in most part a big gov’t republican having to deal with freshman newbies.

  Chairman Obama. The UN is mostly a ‘Chairman’ authoritarian dictatorial parliament. The only things accomplished arise from the muck via lots of green back $$. The perfect reflection of the worth in ‘buying friends’.

  The probable answer is ‘oh, this is different’. Meaning what is mine is mine, what is yours is mine also. The real danger to the world is that higher education has become part of a cultist politic, world wide. The dark ages have never been so hidden.
