If one were naive enough to believe that this arcane manipulation masquerading as bullheadedness or stupidity were the result of a neophyte being in office, one could brush it off and hope for the best, but sadly, the empty suit with Rahm Emanuel pulling the strings of the puppet has dazzled the masses and he is malevolently and maliciously orchestrating the demise of America so that he and his minions can control what is left with an iron fist. An inversion has taken place. A young man's preoccupation is often sexual encounters; a middle-aged man sells out for money; an elderly man eschews lust and greed and focuses on power. That is the target here, and the ones involved have peddled their souls for the achieving of this one thing. The people are merely fodder for their cannon.

Obama's plans will finish bankrupting America! He, like all politicians, know absolutely nothing about a budget. This is why they have all the 'economic advisers' that's 'ADVISED' America right into Bankruptcy! His 'line by line', like all other words of hype he throws out, is nothing more than saying "I'm working on it, but it's going to take me years!" In other words, 'he's expecting to get re-elected' again. May God help us! The more Obama talks about what he's doing that'sso great for America, the more Taxpayers are hearing 'Socialism' is right around the corner. Never once, have Taxpayers heard words from him and his buddies "we're going to cut all our salaries and retirements to $12,000.00 until we get trillions of dollars paid off!" After all, it's costing him nothing to live 'high off the hog, now is it?' Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, stated and I'm quoting ‘We really had no choice in bailout of AIG!' Yes, Mr. Bernanke, you did have a choice! When AIG received first bailout, why weren't strict guidelines imposed on them; such as, cut ‘CEO fat cat' salaries, freebies, and retirements to maximum $25,000.00 year. Older employees, offer them an early retirement package! All other salaries to be cut by at least one-quarter, as a slice of the pie is better than no slice at all! Mr. Bernanke this includes you, Obama, Pelosi, Rangel, Waxman, politicians! The other option would have been to let AIG file bankruptcy so they could start over, and maybe this time they would be more concerned and knowledgeable of what it takes to run a company by tightening their pocketbooks! Taxpayers understand Bay of Thailand is buying AIG Retail Bank Company and deal is to be completed April 2009. Will you and rest of politicians make sure AIG pay off the trillions of dollars borrowed, without Taxpayers' consent, to foreign countries? President Obama's top economic advisers vigorously defends his 3.6 trillion budget! News flash for you -- “Taxpayers don't defend this nor any of the so-called put people back to work programs, called infrastructures. I just left a meeting in which one of the ‘economic advisers' from a bank stated he'd been in DC for a week!” I asked him why he thought America needed infrastructures if we didn't bring textile and furniture manufacturing jobs back to America? He stated ‘they' didn't discuss this, just infrastructures! Remember, these large banks like Citicorp, Wachovia, etc. were bailed out! Taxpayers wonder why we're bailing them out if politicians continue allowing the ‘economic' idiots to advise them. He had no answers! Guess what, Mr. Economic Adviser was hoping the floor would open up and I'd fall through it! You see, all the expert politicians and economists know as much about ‘thrifty management' as a newborn. Bankruptcy is inevitable for “Freddie, Fannie, AIG, Banks, and a couple automakers'!” Politicians and CEOS are going to have to ‘go back to basic add and subtract methods, learn that they have to work seventy-eighty hours week, for a change, get off their plush chairs, roll their sleeves up, sweep the floor if necessary, and work from the ground up. There seems to be a lot of ‘experts' in government and financial institutions with no common sense. It's time to run America like a private business; meaning, President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer. All these cabinet members collecting huge salaries and benefits will have to come to an end. Taxpayers know it's time to cut salaries to $12,000.00 yearly for all politicians. After all, these Public Servant jobs are less than 30 days of service and, in today's world of mismanagement, deceit and greed, this is more money than they deserve. Why aren't we prosecuting the people handing out Taxpayers monies and the people who's receiving it? WAKE UP AMERICA!

If one has lived long enough (I have), paid enough attention (again, I have) over the years, and reads enough from sources that present the facts and the truth rather than the leftist party line (I have), one can say with certainty that the things Obama and the leftist congress are doing to correct the economic blight spreading across the nation are a primer on how to destroy America. He and his cohorts in congress are 180 degrees wrong. This is a terrible thing and would be an horrendous tragedy if they thought that they were doing the right things for the country. What makes this administration and its perpetrators a sacrilege is the fact that they KNOW that these things are wrong because they have seen them fail all over the world. They also know the right way to lighten the destruction wrought by the impending economic meltdown. It too has been done in the past and has succeeded. Tax rate cuts to all federal taxes, tort reform, de-regulation of government interference in the lives of the citizenry, and an independent judiciary constitute the right way to address this economic crisis. Once again, the tragedy here is the fact that these people know this. One cannot buy votes with these measures.
