Double Dip Recession? Not according to the Limousine Liberals in the Beltway (that's Washington, D.C. for those of you in Toten Creek). Nationwide home prices have declined another 5% in the last year. Bankruptcies, foreclosures and short sales are rampant. Food, clothing and energy prices are soaring. Unemployment and under-employment are at levels unseen in decades, around 15-17%. Americans are in a world of hurt.
But what's happening in The Beltway? Home prices have increased 4.3% in the past year while bankruptcies and foreclosures are scarce. Wonder why? Well, the federal workforce in Washington has increased by a quarter of a million employees since 2008. (Queen Bee Obamama knows how to hire). All those worker bees purchasing homes, that keeps the beehive movin' and shakin'. Thank you, Mr. I'm-Paying-My-Political-Debts Obama. And according to USA Today, 1/5 of federal workers now earn $100,000 or more. That kind of helps you pay the bills, wouldn't you say? Hey, I just thought of a question for ya'll. How many of you make $100,000 a year? Not so many??
You must not have friends in high places.
The unemployment rate in the five counties closest to the Beltway? It averages less than half of the almost 10% the rest of the nation is dealing with, ranging from 3.9% to 6.8%. Isn't that just peachy keen? 10% of you are out of work, and Washington rides the Gravy Train -- literally!
In the last 2 years there has been a 73% increase in the size of the federal limousine fleet. I call that riding a Big Gravy Train. The State Department, that'd be Hillary and her friends (such as Anthony Weiner's wife), added 194 limos since 2008, increasing its fleet to 259. And this at a time when we have no money and are going broke.
But Homeland Security, including the Secret Service, has only 118 limos, 4 fewer than it owned in 2008. During Bush's last year in office the GSA reported the feds employed a minimal fleet of 238 limos. That's 238 limos TOTAL, for the entire government. By 2010 that number had jumped to 412 luxury limos. Oh, Mr. O., you sure are doing your part to stimulate the economy, thank you very much.
You wonder why The King is always golfing or vamoosing out of town on yet another vacation?
Because he's on a whooper-dooper of a spending orgy with your money. He thinks he's got a forever-green-money-tree, and he wants to raise the federal debt limit to keep you planting more seeds so the money-tree continues to grow green.
Here's a suggestion, Your Highness. Let your czars and potentates car pool. That's what you've asked us to do. Or better yet, sell the limos, take a cab, or a bus, or a train. Washington has a train system, in case you didn't know. BUT DON'T RAISE THE DEBT CEILING!
The Reality? You voted against "raising the debt limit" when you were in the Senate, yet this week you said we "ought to take off our band aids and eat our peas" and raise the debt limit. Seriously? It's hard to take your buffoonery seriously.
One other thing, Mr. Obaffoon, you said you have hundreds of thousands of dollars that you don't need. May I suggest that you give it to charity? Or maybe give it to the government? They really need it. Or hey, I'd like to start a business so I can put some people to work. How about giving it to me? If you don't like any of these ideas, then just go away and shut up.

QUANTITATIVE EASING 101
Ever heard of Quantitative Easing? It's what Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve and Obama are doing right now to attempt to solve our economic blues. Obama and the Feds did it once already with the Stimulus Bill for around 2 trillion dollars. They are doing it again now for another $600 billion. This time with no vote from Congress.
They simply say "we are going to infuse $600 billion into the economy to try to create jobs." In other words, we are going to spend money we don't have. Then they decide, "But we are broke so we have to print money to make the purchase." This means they go into their little back room, rev up the printing presses, roll out the bills, grab a bunch of them in their fists, take them down the hall to the room next door and give them to the U.S. Treasury to purchase our Treasury Bonds, which is how we finance our debt. DO YOU GET THIS? We are printing our own money to buy our own Bonds. It's a Ponzie Scheme, a Bernie Madolff moment. But it's our government who's running the scam. This is lunacy! Why do Ben Bernanke and Tim Geitner, our Treasury Secretary, still have a job??
Beware, our biggest threat doesn't come from a foreign terrorist. Our biggest threat is the traitor and his czars sitting at the end of Pennsylvania Avenue.
Watch this video for a concise explanation of Quantitative Easing 101. Watch it to the end. It explains it pretty well.

INCUMBENTS BEWARE!
Did you see the Rasmussen Report today? Seems they did a national telephone survey that finds most Likely Voters believe their representative does not deserve re-election if they voted for Obamacare, the auto bailouts or the $787 billion stimulus package. And I couldn't agree more.
The Day of Reckoning is only two weeks away. Finally, these arrogant Obomacrats will be FIRED!
And as for Obama's statement that we are "confused and scared?"
Well, you are wrong, Mr. Pretend President. We are not confused. But yes, we are scared. We are scared of you and your czars and the slimy maneuvers your gang-of-progressive-cronies is using to "fundamentally change" the greatest country on earth. You are the biggest scammer ever to set foot inside the White House. You lied, lied, lied to get yourself elected, and you continue to lie, lie, lie today.
I can hardly wait until you are SHUT DOWN when the new Congress takes office in January. The Lame Duck session from November to January? Oh, yeah, a skunk doesn't change its stripes. You will continue your foul-smelling, putrid agenda of creating as much chaos as you can while trying to bring us down.
And that's okay, Mr. Pseudo President. It just gives the new Congress more to REPEAL.

"Unpaid Pay Czar" oops, Wrong!
So the news came out today. President Obama's pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, received an annual salary of $120,830. Feinberg served as "special master for TARP executive compensation" to establish executive comp levels at companies bailed out or bought up by the government.
When Feinberg was appointed by Obama in August 2009 the big hoopla was that this Washington lawyer would "perform his duties pro bono," or without pay, so said the White House and Reuters.
But Judicial Watch in a Freedom of Information Act request has obtained the "welcome letter" to Feinberg congratulating him for being selected and listing his annual salary at $120,830. His salary was also confirmed by the US Office of Personnel Management. Feinberg is a big-time Washington lawyer.
So who was lying? Or was it just an "over site?" Or was it an intentional distortion of the fact? With this administration it's any body's guess.
This sure proves the point the the Obama Czars should have gone through the usual Senate confirmation process rather than just being installed into power by King Obama. But then, Congress has very little power in the Kingdom.
So much for Obama's famous "transparency in government" policy.
