Things That Just Piss You Off

Welfare Fraud. The reports of a Seattle welfare recipient living in a million-dollar home on Lake Washington both highlights the two worst things of our entitlement systems where not only can people get away for this, but they come to expect the government owing them something. These scumbag's, a man and a woman, received $1,200 a month in public housing vouchers, plus state and government disability checks and food stamps. These checks had been coming since 2003.

More US sponsorship of Drug Cartels. Yet another report that US agents help launder drug Cartel money and smuggle that money back to Mexico. While I understand better than most that Law Enforcement agencies need much latitude to conduct investigations and some of those investigation necessitate documenting crimes, this latest report detailed how DEA Agents laundered or smuggled millions of dollars in drug proceeds to see how the system works and use the information against Mexican drug cartels,...and this operations covered shipments of hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal cash across borders. I don't know,....maybe I'm just thinking since almost 50,000 people have been killed in the last five years in Mexico, related to the drugs, the cartels and all manner of fighting, one would think the U.S. could take some more active measures to target these cartels. Maybe some Hell Fire missiles fired from drones in these cartel safe houses.

Obama Spin Against Wall Street. Fueling the Occupy Wall Street is the Obama and Joe Biden driven class warfare rhetoric. Why are all these "want somethings" or entitlement seekers (Democrats in training) banging on Wall Street when Wall Street firms are Obama biggest contributors and, in fact, give to Obama at a 4:1 ratio to conservatives?

Justice Department Warns Alabama Cops. Our Illustrious Depart of Justice sent warning letters to all Alabama Law Enforcements agencies not to violate immigrants civil rights when enforcing the state's new tough illegal immigration law. Say What?!?!? This is the same Department of Justice that gave guns to Mexico Cartels which killed a US Border Patrol agent; elected not to prosecute Black militants intimidating voters in Philadelphia; and, have not brought charges against Obama crony John Corzine for $1.2 billion in lost investments at MF Global. This is the height of hypocrisy. (P.S. We know what MF Global stands for).

Federal Diet

You have heard of the Atkins Diet,..the Longbeach Diet,...the Sicilian Diet,....now get ready for the Federal Diet.

Watch Will Cain of Glenn Beck TV on Obamacare. He lays out many questions and historical perspective on Obamacare and the issues that will be before the Supreme Court this coming sping. Worth watching to the end where there is a clip on now Supreme Court Judge Elena Kagan's confirmation hearing,....Senator Colburn (R-OK) ask a plain question: "Can the Government force the People to eat certain things everyday." Kagan did not answer because she could not without giving away not only her support for Obamacare, but where her philosophy on big government knowing better for the people.

Amazing and scary times we live in.

While I don't know what the current poll numbers reflect, I do know that most of these issues are related and cannot be separated.

Health Care, or the repeal of the Unconstitutional Obamacare which greatly degrades small businesses, is very necessary to any progress on the economy.

Jobs are linked to the Role of Government and Taxes. To make it simple (for Democrats), the expansing Role of Government taking a higher percentage of with tax payer money to fund that government growth, programs and spending degrades the government's ability to tackle the debt, and the expanding governmental powers going around Congress to develop new and heavy regulations on businesses present massive problems for the economy. Add a higher tax burden then these problems
become insurmountable, not allowing the Economy to rebound.

The Standard of Living are linked to Taxes through the heavy burden of taxation the Government lays on the population,.....okay, some of the population - the working part of the population, after all something like 47% of the population do not pay federal income taxes, leaving the rest of us to support entitlement programs for them. But no complaint here,...they are ENTITLED TO IT.

Income Inequality? What the hell are we going to do about that? Sit around and whine because somebody makes more money than we do? You want injustice? How about a Basketball player making 30 million dollars a year to play a sport, while teachers in some states start off with less than $30K a year? But you know what? I wouldn't change it or try to regulate it. The Free Market using supply and demand will take care of this.

You could say education is linked to immigration: The people who do not understand the need for a secure border to stop illegal immigration are woefully educated. We cannot and should not pay for the education for illegal immigrants. You see,....I use immigration and education together in two different sentences!
