Another year
dawns with our nation in a weaker and more hazardous condition than the year before. We continue to observe helplessly the
travesty, as our government leaders continue to drive us, our children, and our grandchildren into an abyss of debt while
increasing cost and uncertainty heading into the future.
We must ask ourselves how many times and ways must the general public rescue the unions and institutions instrumental in the
installation of the present regime in power of the American Government. We learn as I write this that the new way to make
the public pay will be that the successful financial concerns in our nation are to be penalized for paying the T.A.R.P. funds
back, with interest, to the government in order to pay bonuses to their top producers, many of which have been instrumental
in their success. If they are going to punish the bonus recipients then put a surtax on any bonus over $500,000.00, so
that we can also get tax money from the professional sports figures in golf, football, basketball, hockey, and any other sport
where the professional receives a bonus for performance. This administration controlled by the Democrat power brokers are
looking for a perceived villain for the public to blame, a villain that will not impact their campaign funds in the future.
The additional fees charged to the financial institutions are going to be paid in the long term by the public and small businesses
seeking loans. These fees are being collected to make up for the T.A.R.P. funds lost to GM, Chrysler, Fannie Mae, Freddie
Mac, and AIG. This makes me GGGAAAAGGGG!!!!!!
Mr. President, we realize you and the Democrat congress owe your majority to the U.A.W. and New York Elitist, but how
many ways must the rest of the nation be forced to pay your debt. You continue to prop up these losers with bailout funds. Now
we find out we will be forced to pay higher taxes and fees on our health care so that the U.A.W., one of the losers receiving
bailout dollars through T.A.R.P. funding to GM and Chrysler gets a break on their Cadillac Health Plans Mr. President, you
and the Democrat leadership must believe the we in the general public are as stupid as the people who were swooning at the
Obama campaign rallies in “08”. Most of us in the real world know that any additional taxes and fees imposed on
business will eventually be paid by the public.
In addition to the debt we are being saddled with from bailing out the failed Obama supporters, guess who will be paying
the higher cost that states are going to face meeting unfunded federal mandates in health, security, education, and the environment.
Then of course there will be tremendous costs associated with border security, and holding public trials for terrorist
and paying the freight for relocating them out of Guantanamo. If the above doesn’t worry us enough, we can ponder that
if the Democrats don’t receive a strong negative message in the special Massachusetts election for the seat vacated
by the death of Ted Kennedy and at the mid-term elections, they will push Cap and Trade, Immigration Reform, and
gun control down our throat the same way they pushed the stimulus and health care down. I wrote in January “09”
that I thought the inauguration would be the highlight of Obama’s first year, from my standpoint everything he has done
since that time has pulled us further into the abyss.
So where does the GOP need to be in this mix? What can we do going forward to make a difference and get right with America?
Get back to the basics of smaller and more effective government give our government back to the middle class and throw out
the elitist and the entitled in Washington D.C. Institute term limits for federal political office holders
and find a way to keep the Bureaucracy form running and intruding into our lives in order to push their own agendas. Maybe
we need another Contract with America.
What
can we look for in the coming year? I believe the government will throw everything but the kitchen sink at the U.S economy
to try to create jobs. The Democrat leadership realizes that with 10% unemployment and rising prices, they are facing
a very hostile public at election time. Small businesses are leery about hiring new employees in an environment where
they are uncertain about cost of goods, tax liabilities, and healthcare cost. I believe and fear we are facing another Jimmy
Carter scenario of high cost of all goods and commodities and high unemployment, coupled with higher interest rates on
a dollar that is eroding in value.
