And the Beat(ing) Goes on Part 21: We the People are still losing.

Just what did "Bonehead" Boehner get out of the so call deal for the American People?

The answer is dang little to nothing but it (hopefully for him ) made him look good and he can cry and sling snot and say, "I did all that I could do".  But then Bonehead has always been good at crying and slinging snot so folks will feel sorry for him and think "poor guy".  I've been writing about Bonehead since he was up for Speak of the House and I said he would be a failure. My words have rang true. May they ring in the ears of  voters in November of 2012. 


What did Boehner get in return for this?
He did not insist that the April CR include language prohibiting funding for implementing of Obamacare, or defunding Planned Parenthood (the nation's largest abortion provider) Yep I wrote about this back on March 15. 2011   Here is a brief excert. (You can read the entire story using the date link above.)

Congress has three weeks to put together a plan to fund the government for the next six months and so far all they have done is the usual name calling , posturing and finger pointing.  Obama scolded Congress and said" We can't keep on running the government based on two week extensions."  Speaker Bonehead (HAR-Ohio) pointed out that "we're trying to clean up last year's mess".  Of course he is  somewhat correct on that point since the Democrats didn't bother to even submit a budget for fear that the blood shed of November would be worse than expected. The Republicans were wrong for not forcing the issue and jumping up and down on the issue but then some were too busy "running for position". Bonehead's name comes to mind since that all he could do during much of last term.

So it seems that some important issues are now on the back burner and We The People are in for another BEATING. Defunding of Planned Parenhood and Obamanocare are all set aside despite promises from GOP leadership to scuttle both immediately but seems it will wait until a more convenient time. Of course the primary antagonist of the "good ole boys" in the GOP, Rep Michele Bachmann (R-MN) doesn't like it one bit and has taken on the "ole boy's" establishment and firing both barrels saying "You don't win if you don't fight". and how right she is.  It appears that the "establishment GOP is taking on Obama's tactic of retreat and bowing as well as stuttering while taking NO ACTION , and the Beat(ing) goes on.
Bachmann and Steven King (R-Iowa) called for the GOP to stand by their pledge. "If we do not stand our ground on the CR (continuing resolutions)... and use it to stop the $105.5 billion... Obamacare will be implemented on our watch, and ...we will find it difficult--if not impossible--to regain the strategic advantage."

 
or the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (which subsidizes liberal media). Nor did he extract any commitment from the president to reform entitlement programs -- including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security -- that are the primary forces driving the nation toward bankruptcy.
In the recent debt-limit negotiations, Boehner could have said to Obama: We will increase the debt limit just enough to cover the fiscal 2011 spending we agreed to in April's CR. But for fiscal 2012 we will not agree to business as usual on government spending and debt. The Republican-controlled House will pass a series of appropriations for fiscal 2012 that significantly reform government spending and reduce government. We will be happy to debate them with you in September.
Instead, Boehner agreed to increase the debt limit by $2.4 trillion -- the largest debt limit increase in history.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who supported Boehner's deal, predicts the $2.4 trillion increase will last 18 months -- enough to get past next November's elections. Now do this math: $2.4 trillion over 18 months equals $133.33 billion in new debt per month or $1.596 trillion in a year.
A speaker who cuts a debt-limit deal like that is not planning to fight over the 2012 appropriations bills. He is planning to cut another deal.

And folks , in the mean time, The Beat(ing) goes on. The Left talking heads are blaming the problems that increased spending will create on the Right already and claiming that the  Right held nation and Obama hostage inorder to get all the things they wanted. Well, it would appear that the Right got little to nothing , thanks to "Bonehead" . And as for "hostage holding", it would seem that Harry Reid was the chief hostage holder by refusing to allow the vote on any bill sent over by the Right or by declaring it DOA, while twisting the arms of those Dems who would vote for a rational bill.

Not much left to say, except we are in deep doo with a bunch of immature, name calling idiots running this country. 

And the Beat(ing) Goes On Part 20 (American People screwed again and didn't even get kissed.

Just listened to the "taxem in chief" talk about the NODEBTLIMIT BILL just passed by the Senate.  The idiot is bound and determined to finish destroying the economy before he leaves office , and he is leaving office in 2012 as he well knows.  He continually speaks of RAISING TAXES  on the so called rich and corporations, you know the folks who already pay the bulk of the taxes in this country.

Here is an excerpt of the CBO’s charts that show the percentage share of various categories of taxes paid by the top 10%, 5% and 1% of income earners:

Share of Taxes (%)	Top 10%	Top 5%	Top 1%
All Federal Taxes	55%	44%	28%
Individual Taxes	72%	61%	39%
Social Insurance Taxes	25%	14%	4%
Corporate Inc Taxes	80%	73%	57%
Excise Taxes	21%	13%	5%

Taxes on US Corporations was 27.7 percent, compared with a non-U.S. average of 19.5 percent. Companies based in Japan, Morocco, Italy, Indonesia and Germany,  faced higher tax rates.(And we see how well their economies run as well as their super high taxes on individuals)

Never the less the cry from Obama and the Leftist through out this entire week of BS called debate has been , "We must have a balanced approach with the rich and big corporations paying their share".  Of course statistics show that when taxes on individuals and corporations are raised, revenues for the Government fall. However Leftist try to twist this to show the opposite through their smoke and mirror, convoluted accounting system.
Individuals( the so called rich) stop investing and corporations move out of the country.  It would seem that the Leftist would learn from the past under Clinton what higher taxes do for the economy and business.  Some people never learn.

Obama calls for tax reform but yet refuses to even consider the Flat Tax. Actually it shoudl suit his socialist leanings since everyone pays the same rate of taxes, rich and poor alike.  Unfortunately the Left hates the idea since they Plantation would soon disappear because there would be no group paying ZERO INCOME TAXES as there are under the current system. The federal income tax is the government's largest source of revenue but yet nearly 50% of the people paid nothing so that leaves the other 50% paying for all the services that the non-payers enjoy. Yes they still pay some taxes but not income tax which is what the Flat Tax is all about.It's not uncommon for people to think that their Social Security taxes, their 401(k) contributions, their share of employer health premiums, all of that stuff in their mind gets lumped into income taxes, The Left uses this argument in their attempt to refute the idea that 50% pay no income tax.  They twist the words and claim the Right says 50% pay no taxes, which of course is not what is being said. The Left takes it totally out of context but then what else is new. The Flat Tax would work but don't hold your breath for it to come about. It would also reduce the number of useless IRS employees by over 70%, which of course the savings from that waste of money could be used toward debt reduction. Remember how adding just a bit on the end of your house payment can reduce the amount of time it takes to pay it off and the amount of interest paid?  Ah, but don't tell the Leftist that!

Just heard the "taxer in chief"  cozening up to the AFL-CIO, union thugista's saying,
"Taxes need to be raised on the rich"  He ticked off that wing of his socialist party and is now trying to smooth things over. He will play "hell" in getting taxes passed during his administration. Of course he will do things that will make taxes on items higher and of course hurt the lower class and middle class but then try to blame it on the Right for not wanting to raise taxes on the RICH.  (I get so tired of that phrase I could puke.)

Beware of his "super committee" for they will be the machinery that Obama uses to try to raise taxes on the ones who already pay the majority of taxes. Clinton found out it didn't work in his last term so why does Obama think the results will be any different for him?

The Clinton years provide lessons on the effects of tax increases and decreases. The American left attributes the successful economy of the Clinton years to the former and ignores the impact of the latter in order to justify their appetite for the increases they would have us believe will provide additional tax revenues today.

The effects of increasing taxes on Treasury receipts can be seen in the Clinton and Democrat-controlled congressional tax increase of 1993, one of the largest in history. Despite a more robust job market following a recession, the 1993 tax increase didn't accomplish what Democrats expected. The tax increases added very little to treasury receipts despite their magnitude. Reports from the Congressional Budget Office, the Office of Management and Budget, and the Internal Revenue Service all agree.

The balanced budgets of the Clinton years didn't occur until after a Republican Congress passed and the president reluctantly signed a  1997 tax bill that lowered the capital gains rate from 28% to 20%, added a child tax credit, and established higher limits on tax exclusion for IRAs and estates. Oh, but don't dare tell a Leftist that! 

All of America's current deficits are the result of spending by both parties above the baseline, including spending on the costs of war, homeland security, and natural disasterDespite those circumstances, at the rates of economic growth through 2007 and with simple spending restraint, the Bush-era 2001 and 2003 tax rate reductions should have yielded a surplus by 2009 with no increase in taxes.Now on top of . The Stumbulus and OBAMANOCARE cost the Left want to increase taxes even more and SPEND MORE! and as we gave seen federal expenditures have been setting records and are increasing drastically.

A typical Congress has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. This Congress is no exception, except that its members are spending at exceptional rates and have no will to stop.

Millions of Americans fell off the tax rolls following the 2001 rate reductions on income. Today, the top 1% of earners pays more taxes than the bottom 95%. Who really believes that taxing this top group even more is going to pay everyone's tab for the ambitious and irresponsible spending objectives of the Democrats in Washington? Yea, Obama you claim to have given 95% of the folks a tax break but ooops looks like it actually occurred long before your time.

During all this hub-bub about debt limit and the world coming to an end was pure contrivance on Obama's part.  He hoped for more than he could get and it backfired on him but yet the failure continues to talk as if HE made it all happen.  Nothing like a narcissist jackass braying to make your day.  We also found out who the RINO's were (many were already known such as McCain and the ding-bat from Alaska ,  Lisa Murkowski, who might as well just switch to the Socialist Democrat Party given her rants against the conservatives in the House.
The House needs new leadership for "Bonehead " proved himself to be inadequate in getting the job done. McConnell needs to be replaced in the Senate as well for his time is over. He would make a deal with the devil if it meant getting re-elected on the idea that "I did the best I could."  Listen for "Bonehead" to sling snot and try to use the same excuse his failure.

Well it's over for now but the LSM will beat it to death because it's an easy story with a never ending line of braying jackasses who want to defend their Messiah and call for more Taxes on the Rich.  It would GAG a maggot on a garbage truck!

I'm finished with this and won't be revisiting the "debt crisis" again until next time in 2013!

Let me know what you think. 

And the Beat (ing) Goes On Part 19 (Obama's Crisis)

Many folks are all in a stir over the August 2 Debt Limit so called deadline.  The Lame Stream Media, worshipers of "The One" continue to blare out the doom and gloom that Social Security, Veterans Benefits and Military Pay are going to cease on August 3rd unless Obama gets his new credit card issued in the form of a new debt limit ceiling.  The House and Senate Democrats, most notably Harry Reid, the full fledged idiot from Nevada who claims that any Bill sent over from the House by Republicans will be DOA and that Social Security , Vet Benefits and such will cease immediately on the 2nd of August.   But wait!  By whose authority will the checks be halted?  Congress can not do it but to hear Reid rant they will make it happen.
Now these checks are written by the Treasury Department which is of course controlled by "tax evader in chief" Timothy Geithner, but he does not have the authority to stop the checks from going out. Well then who does?  Obama of course can order Geithner to stop the checks.

The  question is, does he have the audacity or is he foolish enough to do it?  Does he realize the consequences of such action?  The answer to both is Yes he is just crazy enough to do it and yes he does understand the consequences of such action. He has watched the experiments of such actions in Europe over the course of the past few months and knows that by doing so he will create an environment of  civil unrest and an uprising that will put the Bonus Army uprising of 1932 to shame. Forty three thousand marched and pitched tents in DC demanding that their bonus be paid as promised and it resulted in the Army being called out and two veterans dying of gunshot wounds received during the uprising and march on the White House and Capitol.  The situation was settled in 1936 when Congress overrode FDR's veto of a bill for payment and the Vets received their payments.
 
So yes, Obama knows the consequences and in my opinion is looking for just that situation to occur.  Under his Contrived Crisis,he would immediately declare a State of Emergency and declare Martial Law.  All demonstrators would be arrested and jailed without bail and without due process. All firearms would be seized immediately and those refusing to surrender their arms would be likewise incarcerated. All elections would be suspended, Congress would be suspended (remember his comments about circumventing Congress made to La Rasa recently?) He would then rule by Presidential Decree (Execuative Orders)which by the way he is already doing a right good job.  To this date he has issued at total of 92 Executive Orders,(you can check them out at this link) some good, but for the most part done in a matter on subjects that he knew would not pass in Congress, all this in less than two years. 
Other Presidents have used Execuative Orders in the past but few have used them to circumvent Congress as this President has. Bush issued 290, Clinton over 300, and FDR over 13,000.

The words, "never let a good crisis go to waste" ring in my ears louder each time I hear Obama speak.  Is this the plan?  Will it happen by August of 2011? Nothing would surprise me coming from this administration. What a way to insure the complete downfall of this nation.
