SENATOR NELSON'S LETTER AND MY REPLY

Today I received the following email from Florida Democrat Senator Bill Nelson, an Obama puppet who mostly votes the way our Liar-in-Chief wants him to.

July 27, 2011
Dear Friends,

Facebook President Obama asked Americans to contact members of Congress and ask them to reach a fair resolution of the looming government default.

He rightly noted that both political parties bear some responsibility for running up the federal debt – so it’s up to both to end this stalemate. Since the President's speech I've heard from thousands and thousands of folks who responded to his call. I also sensed growing support in Congress to avert a first-ever government default early next week. Thus I’m optimistic about quick passage of some $2.7 trillion in savings and spending cuts – cuts that wouldn’t hurt Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security.

Such a solution strikes me as a fair compromise – and, exactly the kind of thing I think we need right now.

If you want to pass along your thoughts, just click here to send me an email. Also, feel free to ask others to weigh in as well.




Here is my reply...and I urge all of you to reply to him also and share your feelings as to his contribution to Obama's destruction of our economy.

Dear Sen. Nelson:

Yes, he rightly noted that both political parties bear some responsibility for running up the federal debt, but what he failed to note was that he ran it up MORE than all the other presidents COMBINED!  He also failed to note that he, and his Senate (including you), have not produced a budget for the last 2 years, nor have you come up with YOUR plan to solve this debt crisis.  You people are complete failures as to living up to your financial responsibilities to the American people...and you will pay dearly for it come next election.  He also failed to note that under his administration, we are spending about $4,1 Billion per day...more than 4 times any previous administration.  Why don't you, Bill Nelson, MAN-UP and lead your fellow Democrats in stopping this Socialist before he can do more damage to our country.

Poverty in America ...These are people who pay NO taxes!


Statistics released yesterday by the Heritage Foundation show that 30 million Americans are living in “poverty,” according to the US Census Bureau.  That’s a pretty sizable number … until you remember that what it means to be “poor” in America has become a colossal joke.    Check out these stats:
  • The typical “poor” household in America has a car
  • 78% of “poor” households in America have air conditioning
  • 64% of “poor” households in America have cable or satellite TV .. most have two TVs, along with a DVD player and  VCR
  • Most “poor” households in America with children have a gaming system such as an Xbox or PlayStation
  • 38% of “poor” households in America have a personal computer
  • Most “poor” households in America have a refrigerator, an oven and stove, and a microwave. They also have other household appliances such as a clothes washer, clothes dryer, ceiling fans, a cordless phone, and a coffee maker.
  • The typical “poor” American has more living space than the average European.
  • The typical “poor” American family is able to obtain medical care when needed.
The average “poor” household in America claims to have sufficient funds to meet all essential needs.  What they are struggling to afford is air conditioning and cable TV, not food.

Perhaps our politicians  should take a good look at these stats and cut back on our welfare programs...or else start making these people pay some taxes.  Either way would help resolve our debt crisis.

SO IT'S THE LIAR-IN-CHIEF, NOT BUSH, WHO IS REALLY F**CKING UP THE COUNTRY

Our Liar-in-Chief, President BO, has signed a law that will allow the U.S. to borrow nearly $2 trillion more than before.  The sneak signed the bill Friday night at the White House with little public fanfare...in the hope that all us older folks would already be asleep, and the younger ones would be going out to begin their weekend partying, thus no one would notice the additional burden he added onto the mountain of debt he has already burdened us and our grandkids with.

The maximum debt the U.S. can carry is now $14.3 trillion. The U.S. was already poised to exceed the previous maximum.  The report states that change comes at a time when the American public is increasingly concerned about the government deficits.  GEE, NO SH*T!  Wonder how they got that idea?

In an attempt calm those fears, the bill also included a "pay-as-you-go" provision.  Originally enacted in the 1990s, the law requires any new spending or tax cut to be offset by tax increases or spending cuts elsewhere.

In his weekly radio and internet lecture to us on Saturday,  BO praised the "pay-as-you-go" law, saying it was how a "responsible family or business" manages money. But I'm left wondering how he would know.  He's never run or managed a business.  All he knows about is being a "community organizer."  And since he has not proposed any spending cuts, that can only mean we can expect more tax increases up the wazoo to pay for this (but his immature little testicles haven't descended far enough yet to tell us directly that that is what this rhetorical deviousness means).

Again,  the Liar-in-Chief used his address to blame the current debt and deficits on the previous administration of  George W. Bush and the U.S. congress during his tenure.   But what this fool of a president seems to forget (conveniently so) is that only congress can approve expenditures, and congress has been controlled by Democrats since 2007.  So why doesn't he blame his own party for the reckless run-up in our debt (and rundown in our economy) for the last 3 years?

Isn't it time for this immature, man-child to stop blaming Bush and Republicans for everything wrong with our country today and face up to the fact that this is all the result of his economic policies, and the reckless spending of his dumbass congresses (think Nancy Pelosi and Harry Ried).  Here are the real facts in a nutshell:  In JANUARY, 2007, WHEN THE DEMS TOOK CONTROL OF CONGRESS, THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WAS 4.6% WHEREAS NOW IT IS 10%, THE BUDGET DEFICIT WAS $161 BILLION AND NOW IT IS $1.5 TRILLION (ALMOST A TEN-FOLD INCREASE), AND THE NATIONAL DEBT WAS $8.7 TRILLION (OR ABOUT $40,000 PER CITIZEN) WHEREAS NOW IT WILL BE $14.3 TRILLION WITH THIS NEW INCREASE.

Look BO, it's long past time to stop blaming Bush for everything including the skid marks in your underpanties and tell the people that it's you who is f*#king-up America!  AND NOT ANYONE ELSE.
