Obama's Economic Guru Resigns

Christina Romer, chair of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, is resigning her post. Romer, said to be an expert in the Great Depression, has done her best to get us into another Great Depression.

Romer's economic guidance has been devastating to the country. Never before has this nation had so much long term unemployment, not even under Carter's devastating tenure.

Roemer was the chief architect of Obama's great economic failure, the Obama Excessive Government Spending and Debt Plan (a/k/a the "Stimulus"). Romer co-wrote a justification paper saying the Obama Stimulus would keep unemployment rates from rising above 8%. She was, predictably, dead wrong. Liberals who call themselves economists always are. Even so, she has advocated a path of "doubling down" by borrowing yet more Chinese money and increasing government spending even more.

Her failure will almost certainly be rewarded with an appointment as the chairwoman of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank. Such is the path of the liberal elite.

GM Funnels Tax Dollars to Dems

How is GM spending your tax dollars? By funneling $41,000 to liberals, including $36,000 to the Congressional Black Caucus.

The only thing being drained in Washinton DC is the taxpayer.

The Inevitable Result of Health Care Centralization

Open Letter to Ed Whitacre

Dear Ed,

I've just seen Government Motor's (GM) new television advertisement (bought with taxpayer funds) where you claim "...we have repaid our government loan, in full, with interest..."

This announcement comes after GM paid less than 7 billion dollars to the U.S. Treasury.

Your commercial implies GM only had one loan from the US Government, that it was less than 7 billion dollars, and that you are now free and clear of taxpayer bailout funds. One might even reasonably imply from your commercial that the funds you paid were out of earnings from GM since the loan.

You and I both know that this is not the case at all. The "loan" does not even begin to cover the amount of taxpayer-funded bailout.

Off the top of my head, I can demonstrate that GM received all of the following taxpayer bailout funding for GM's "second chance":

Auto Supplier Support Program: GM received not less than 2.5 Billion dollars of taxpayer money

Automotive Industry Financing Program: GM received not less than 49 Billion dollars of taxpayer money

This does not even include the 13+ Billion dollars of taxpayer money received by GMAC, GM's financing arm.

Let's also be honest about where the "loan repayment" money came from: you have paid off taxpayer loans with other taxpayer "investment" dollars, not earnings from car sales. I can read your SEC filings.

As to your remarks about paying the "loan" back "with interest", after hearing of your statements, even the White House had to issue a statement saying that the taxpayers will almost certainly LOSE MONEY on the GM investments. That is not interest; it's a loss.

I also recall that one of the lynchpin arguments in support of the Automotive Industry Financing Program was that it was necessary to save American jobs. Yet since the socialization of GM, 65,000 jobs were cut by GM. It seems redundant to point out that GM could have accomplished the same thing in bankruptcy restructuring without requiring the taxpayers to foot the bill.

This commercial of yours will go down in history as one of the most disingenuous commercials ever to be aired on American television. I could not even characterize your statements has half truths - the lies by omission in this ad are monumental and inexcusable.

I challenge you, Ed Whitacre, to immediately pull this ad and replace it with an ad that correctly lays out what GM has received from the American taxpayers, what has been returned to the taxpayers due to actual profits generated by GM, and together with the UAW beneficiaries of all this American taxpayer largesse, thank all the taxpayers for the help and beg us to be merciful on your failing, disingenuous welfare case of a corporation.

The Gift That Keeps on Taking

National Socialist Party member Bart Stupak's retirement gift to Obama: socialized medicine with abortion on demand. http://tinyurl.com/y9b5rjf

Bart Stupak is a prime example of precisely what is wrong with American politics. He is a gutless, spineless, unprincipled coward. Voluntary retirement is too good for him.

I Wish This Was an April Fool's Day Joke

Of all the dim bulbs in Congress, Rep. Hank Johnson of Decatur, Georgia, might be plain broken. Remember, Hank Johnson is the "upgrade" to former member of Congress Cynthia McKinney.

Watch as this idiot asks Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Robert Willard whether Guam will "tip over and capsize." He must have just watched the movie 2012.

The nice Admiral was kind enough not to call him an idiot right there at the meeting.

Good thing was a brilliant minds in Congress like Hank Johnson to write health care, energy, national security, and economic-related legislation! Hank Johnson is the perfect tool in Obama's National Socialist Party. Hank Johnson has a bright future in Obamaland.

Democrats Are Now the National Socialist Party

Today, the Democrats of the United States have fully laid themselves bare. This is not just Obama, Reid, and Pelosi. This is every Democrat in the Senate and 90% of the Democrats in the House of Representatives have demonstrated their naked socialism.

They have acted against the United States Constitution.

They have acted against the consent of the governed.

They are attempting to take over fully one-sixth of the economy; a part of the economy that is world class and in no danger of financial collapse. This is not a “bail out” – this is an unconstitutional takeover of a huge segment of the economy for no other reason than they are socialists and possess the votes in Congress to get it done, damn the rules, damn the people, damn the constitution, damn the republic. The actions the Democrat party have taken in the past year are by any definition totalitarian. I am certain that Jefferson and Jackson are rolling in their graves today.

In short, I see no difference between the Democrats and a National Socialist Party. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_socialist_party

So, what can the nation do in response to the totalitarian National Socialist Party and their takeover of State and personal sovereignty?

First, it is incumbent upon the States of the United States to engage in a national nullification of the National Socialist Party’s socialization of health care. States, and states alone, are granted the power under the constitution of the United States to regulate both the health care and the insurance provided in their particular state. Every state that values the continuation of the republic should take legislative and executive action immediately to prohibit the Federal government from implementing the health care portions of the National Socialist Party’s socialized medicine program. This should include the following elements:

Assert the State’s preeminence on matters of health care and insurance laws within the State borders; and

Enact nullification laws and prohibitions against the enforcement of unconstitutional Federal laws – that is, criminalize the enforcement of the National Socialist Party’s socialized medicine program within the State.

To the extent this can be done in concert between states, it should be done. Nothing would make me happier than to see several states all pass nullification laws and resolutions on the same day, at the same time.

Second, there is an election a mere six and one half months away. No National Socialist Party member should be re-elected to Congress. Any congressional district or state that re-elects a Democrat should be shunned in every possible way. No visits, no conventions, no investment, no money, no nothing. The home bases of the National Socialist Party must be dead to us. And the new Congress must repeal this scar on the nation, and overrule the expected veto by the National Socialist Party’s leader, Barak Hussein Obama. UPDATE: It occurred to me after writing this that another action a nullification-minded Congress could take would to be to withhold funding for some or all of the activities authorized under this law. Again, it would face a veto, but budget bills can and do get passed as overrides to a veto.

Third, even with the expected veto, a mere two thirds majorities in both houses of Congress (and without the approval of the President required) may propose an Amendment to the constitution of the United States that would repeal the National Socialist Party’s healthcare takeover. Thirty eight of the states would be required to vote in favor of the amendment for it to become the supreme law of the land.

Fourth, there are two opportunities to mount of constitutional challenges against the National Socialist Party’s socialized health care takeover.

One path of objection is the nature in which the House passed its approval of their version of the bill. Because the House added amendments or stipulations to the bill prior to its being signed into law, the identical bill was not passed by both houses of Congress, thus the President was never constitutionally presented with a bill that passed both houses of Congress, and thus there was nothing for the President to sign.

The next path of objection is a challenge on the constitutionality of the most socialistic provisions of the law; however, it is questionable when such an objection would be ripe for court review because there is a significant delay in the implementation of most of totalitarian provisions. However, when such a case or controversy becomes ripe, much of the law violates the first Article and second Articles and the ninth and tenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.

Beyond these, there is always the Declaration of Independence. The states created the Federal form of government, and the states can opt out of it. Remember that the Declaration of Independence was not superseded by the Constitution – it remains the enacting document whereby the colonies declared independence in the name of the united States of America. The principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence are both universal and eternal:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.
