Wonder what's being taught in American schools? Hold on to your textbooks, here are some examples.
WISCONSIN - STUDENTS SUBJECTED TO "WHITE PRIVILEGE" PROPAGANDA
NEBRASKA - STUDENTS SUBJECTED TO LEFTIST PROPAGANDA
MAINE - STUDENTS SUBJECTED TO GRAPHIC GAY INDOCTRINATION
There's a lot to be said for school choice, vouchers, home schooling and private schools. Parents should have the option of removing their kids from districts that teach garbage. No wonder American students are way behind their world peers. American kids are getting rubbish, politically correct crap, from a school system run by liberal leftists.

SENATOR RON JOHNSON, WI, TELLS THE TRUTH ON DEBT AND SPENDING
WI. SENATOR RON JOHNSON TELLS IT LIKE IT IS! HE'S GOT IT RIGHT. WE ARE HEADED FOR A TOTAL, ALL OUT FISCAL DISASTER. AND LOOK AT HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL DEBT THE BIG SPENDER IN THE WHITE HOUSE WANTS TO SADDLE US WITH.
WE BETTER ELECT A FISCAL CONSERVATIVE IN 2012 AND PRAY THAT WHOEVER IT IS HAS ENOUGH GUTS TO SLICE ALL GOVERNMENT SPENDING. CLEARLY, IF THE GOVERNMENT GRABBED EVERY DOLLAR EARNED, IT WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH TO SOLVE THEIR SPENDING PROBLEM. MORE TAXES EQUATES TO MORE GOVERNMENT SPENDING ON PORK, EAR MARKS, GIVE AWAYS, POLITICAL PAYOFFS AND JUNK.
DON'T SADDLE FUTURE GENERATIONS WITH MORE OF THIS CRAZINESS. VOTE OUT EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON WHO IS NOT A FISCAL CONSERVATIVE. WE SENT A BUNCH THERE IN 2010. THEY NEED HELP. CONSERVATIVES NEED TO CONTROL THE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE TO GET ANYTHING DONE. WE MUST FINISH THE JOB IN 2012 AND THEN KEEP THEM ALL ACCOUNTABLE.
WATCH SENATOR JOHNSON AND BE PROUD THAT WE SENT HIM THERE TO DO A JOB, AND HE'S DOING IT. IN 2012 LET'S SEND HIM OTHERS TO HELP HIM IN THE FIGHT TO SAVE AMERICA FROM FISCAL ARMAGEDDON.

UNION MOBS ARE AT IT AGAIN
Nearly $20 MILLION has been spent so far in the WI recall campaigns, and national Democrat leaders have poured all sorts of resources into WI. The unions have sent thousands of people from all over the country, but especially neighboring MN, to WI to canvass neighborhoods, knock on doors, make phone calls, intimidate and threaten businesses and disrupt public events, like the Special Olympics Ceremony in Madison, and now the opening of the WI State Fair in Milwaukee.
To see for yourself what's going on in WI watch this news report below. It shows Governor Scott Walker at the Wisconsin State Fair doing what every Governor in Wisconsin has done in the past -ceremoniously open the fair. And there was the Left and Union mob to shout him down. Do you really want to send the Union Mafia to Madison? If not you better get out and vote on August 9. Every vote will count!

THANK YOU, SCOTT WALKER
Here is an excellent article discussing the current "Debt Panic" in Washington and why we should be extremely thankful to Scott Walker and the Republicans in Madison for straightening out the Wisconsin mess and turning Wisconsin around. Read it and pass it on to others.

TROUBLED TRACTOR CAPER
Did you hear about last week's Tractor Caper around the Capitol in WI in support of government workers and union demonstrators? Oh, yeah, about 13 tractors pulling all kinds of things, such as manure spreaders, drove to Madison to Rally Round the Troops.
One of them was Tod Pulvermacher, who arrived 1/2 hour ahead of the scheduled parade time and drew plenty of attention from the media as he drove round and round pulling his poop wagon with a sign that said "Walker's Bill Belongs Here."
But a check of online court records shows that this same Tod Pulvermacher has been convicted of drunk driving, FOUR TIMES, has no valid driver's license, was convicted of marijuana possession in 2007 and 2008, convicted of causing injury by drunk driving, has been convicted of theft, resisting arrest, obstruction of officers, disorderly conduct, and driving after revocation.
It is illegal to operate a tractor on public roads without a valid driver's license unless the activity involves farm work. I do believe there is no farmland anywhere near the Square in Madison. Hmmm, I wonder how he got there? Is it possible there is another arrest on the horizon for the Troubled Mr. Pulvermacher?
It appears Union Thugs were not the only demonstrators. They also had criminals in their midst.
OOPS! Caught 'Ya.

GOL-DARN THAT GOVERNOR WALKER!
Golly Gee Whiz, that gol-darn Walker is doing exactly what he said he'd do. He's bringing JOBS to WI. And Holy Moly, they are NOT GOVERNMENT JOBS. And he's doing it in less than 3 months in office, and he's not raising taxes!
WI is OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
Catalyst Exhibits, Inc. has announced that they will relocate from Illinois (pays to raise taxes, huh, Illinois?) to Pleasant Prairie, WI. The company will bring 105 jobs to its new home and will make a $2.5 million investment in WI.
Now would you please Pipe Down, those of you who have been screaming about Walker giving millions to corporations? It's the corporations that provide JOBS, which in turn provide tax revenue, which in turn helps balance WI's budget. It's Economics 101, Friends.
And don't start yapping about the number of teachers and government workers who will lose their jobs due to Walker's Budget Repair Bill. If money is short the districts and municipalities will have to figure it out. Maybe they can save millions by bidding the health/life insurance contracts instead of being forced to use the WEA insurance program? Stands to reason that if millions can be saved on insurance, then those funds could be available to preserve jobs.
The fact is, WI is broke. WI cannot afford to continue propping up local governments and school districts. Everyone is going to take a hit, that means all of us. We are in a real fix.
But goody-goody, the next thing you know unemployment will go down and tax revenue will go up. Thank you, Governor Walker, these are jobs we need. GOOD GOING.

RACKETEERING GODFATHER STYLE!
Hello Readers - I was sent this great article from Investors.com about the union Death Threats against the WI Republicans who voted for the Walker Budget Repair Bill because that's what they were elected to do - GET RID OF OUR DEBT!! In addition to these Death Threats there are many, many businesses in WI who have been threatened with boycotting their services and products. Some have actually received letters from the unions stating they are being targeted.
So you lose at the ballot box and then throw a temper tantrum? Sounds like bullying to me. Only the unions mean it -- they will break your kneecaps, smash your fingers, get out their guns and place their bombs - the end justifies the means, according to the unions. I am waiting for the first Republican to turn up in a roadside ditch with a knife in their heart or a hole in their head. When it happens we will know who to blame.
I am also waiting for Obama to condemn the behavior of the union rabble-rousers. But he is too busy golfing to give a hoot about what's going on right under his nose.
DO YOU DOUBT WHAT I AM SAYING HERE? THEN WATCH THIS VIDEO ABOUT RICHARD TRUMKA, HEAD OF THE AFL/CIO AND A MAN NAMED EDDIE YORK. AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN.
HERE'S THE VIDEO
HERE'S THE ARTICLE
Racketeering: Over a dozen Wisconsin state senators have received death threats after voting to remove public union collective bargaining powers. Funny we haven't heard President Obama call for civility lately.
When Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and 18 others were shot, and a federal judge, a 9-year-old girl and four others murdered, the president traveled to a Tucson sports arena to call for "more civility in our public discourse."
It is doubtful that speech saved a single life from any of the other psychopaths roaming free in America.
If President Obama were serious about preventing violence, he would by now have taken his civility road show to Madison, Wis., where union goons have been sending lawmakers Corleone-esque horse's heads through the mail, the phone lines and cyberspace.
State Sens. Pam Galloway, Glenn Grothman and Joe Leibham were among more than a dozen Republicans sent e-mails with messages such as "Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!"
A note shoved under Grothman's door said, "The only good Republican is a dead Republican." He has stories of getting obscene phone calls in the middle of the night.
Two Republicans, state Sen. Randy Hopper and state Rep. Jeremy Thiesfeldt, feel so threatened that they backed out of marching in Saturday's St. Patrick's Day Parade in the city of Fond du Lac.
On top of that, businesses, such as Milwaukee financial firm Marshall & Ilsley, have received letters from public employee unions threatening boycotts.
Grothman says the threats to GOP lawmakers who are committed to restoring fiscal sanity to Wisconsin have "only steeled our resolve."
It was just last week that Republicans finally succeeded in restricting public workers' collective bargaining privileges after Democratic state senators had left the state in an attempt to thwart the legislative will of the elected majority and GOP Gov. Scott Walker.
Imagine the media storm that we would be enduring right now if these threats were directed at liberal Democrats and the issue was, say, abortion.
When members of an organization commit acts as part of an ongoing criminal enterprise, it's time to start investigating them under the federal RICO Act.
But in the meantime, where is Obama? Where are the calls for civility now?
Since these union goon tactics are the logical consequence of the Democratic National Committee's organization of the original Wisconsin protests against Walker last month, perhaps the president and his political allies have a civility double standard.

EMAIL DEATH THREATS IN WISCONSIN
Here is the threatening e-mail sent to Wisconsin GOP senators last night at around 9:30 pm, shortly after the Senate passed an anti-union bill. The email not only threatens the senators with death, but it also vows that their families will also be killed due to their actions. Personally I know of one Republican Senator's family that was threatened by a 2 a.m. anonymous phone call to their home stating that if the Senator does not change his position "you and your kids will pay for it."
Local station WTMJ in Milwaukee has obtained the threatening e-mail and has redacted the sender’s name pending an investigation by the police. Spelling and grammar mistakes have not been corrected. (Emphasis in red added)
THIS IS THE EMAIL:
From: XXXX
Sent: Wed 3/9/2011 9:18 PM
To: Sen.Kapanke; Sen.Darling; Sen.Cowles; Sen.Ellis; Sen.Fitzgerald; Sen.Galloway; Sen.Grothman; Sen.Harsdorf; Sen.Hopper; Sen.Kedzie; Sen.Lasee; Sen.Lazich; Sen.Leibham; Sen.Moulton; Sen.Olsen
Subject: Atten: Death threat!!!! Bomb!!!!
Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes
will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain
to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it
will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit
that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for
more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.
WE want to make this perfectly clear. Because of your actions today and in
the past couple of weeks I and the group of people that are working with me
have decided that we’ve had enough. We feel that you and the people that
support the dictator have to die. We have tried many other ways of dealing
with your corruption but you have taken things too far and we will not stand
for it any longer.
So, this is how it’s going to happen: I as well as many
others know where you and your family live, it’s a matter of public records.
We have all planned to assult you by arriving at your house and putting a
nice little bullet in your head. However, we decided that we wouldn’t leave
it there. We also have decided that this may not be enough to send the
message to you since you are so “high” on Koch and have decided that you are
now going to single handedly make this a dictatorship instead of a
demorcratic process. So we have also built several bombs that we have placed
in various locations around the areas in which we know that you frequent.
This includes, your house, your car, the state capitol, and well I won’t
tell you all of them because that’s just no fun. Since we know that you are
not smart enough to figure out why this is happening to you we have decided
to make it perfectly clear to you. If you and your goonies feel that it’s
necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives, making
them unable to feed, clothe, and provide the necessities to their families
and themselves then We Will “get rid of” (in which I mean kill) you. Please
understand that this does not include the heroic Rep. Senator that risked
everything to go aganist what you and your goonies wanted him to do.
We feel that it’s worth our lives to do this, because we would be saving the lives
of 300,000 people. Please make your peace with God as soon as possible and
say goodbye to your loved ones we will not wait any longer. YOU WILL DIE!!!!
WTMJ confirmed police are investigating several death threats, including the e-mail above.
Wisconsin GOP senators were told to flee the Capitol almost immediately after their vote because police said “it was not safe.” The police could not guarantee their safety.
How about these UNION THUGS? I say more power to the Republicans and Gov. Walker. It's about Time!

THE STATE OF THE UNIONS!
This weekend I was informed about the stench in the Capitol in Madison. Seems like there are pizza boxes, pop cans, bottles, garbage, graffiti, and a rotten smell permeating throughout the building. It's basically a squalid pigsty. The squatters don't seem to have even basic levels of cleanliness and respect for such a revered building. They were told on Friday that they'd all have to be out by Sunday so the building could be cleaned. According to TV this morning they are still occupying, refusing to leave. What gives them the right to, by force, take over a public building and refuse to leave? When the event first started the legislators and their staffs who are there working were told by the Capitol police to lock their doors for their own safety. Well, guess what? The occupiers broke down some of the locked doors. They are systematically destroying the most beautiful building in the state. And I am asking why haven't they been forced out before now? If I visited the Capital with a Girl Scout Troop I would never be allowed to stay 24/7. The Girl Scouts would be kicked out at "closing time." So I ask, who has made the unbelievably stupid decision to let them occupy? And why aren't they at work? And their new rallying cry is "Follow Egypt." Well, we are not Egypt. We are Greece drowning in red ink. There is a mountain sized difference.
Part of their anger is due to Walker's speed in passing the budget bill. Well, here's a fact for you. When Doyle was governor the Dems controlled both the Assembly and the Senate in WI. Doyle introduced an appropriation's bill that was over one billion dollars in tax increases and increased spending. It was introduced, debated, voted on, passed and signed by Doyle in TWO DAYS. This happened repeatedly because Doyle and the Dems knew they were in control and the Republicans could do nothing. The Republicans never left the state or refused to be involved in the process. They stayed in Madison, debated, and tried to stop the tax and spend freight train by always voting no.
These videos will show that the strong arm tactics embraced by the unions are nothing new. And these are mild examples of what has gone on for years. When you see the video of the California union thugs, you need to know that Los Angeles sent 185 union members from 40 different unions to Madison last week. Their California unions chartered the planes to fly them here, chartered the buses from the airport, paid for their rooms and food. And there are thousands of people in Madison from all over the country, sent to Madison at the expense of the unions in their states. THEY ARE HERE, AND BECAUSE THEY ARE GOVERNMENT UNION WORKERS MANY ARE PROBABLY RECEIVING GOVERNMENT PAYCHECKS EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT WORKING. I say it's about time someone stood up to the unions. Thank you, Governor Walker. And Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, and any other state experiencing the same anarchy, stay strong.

TRUMKA TRUMPETS WHITE HOUSE VISITS
Richard Trumka, head of the huge AFL-CIO union, visits the White House 2 to 3 times a week and talks to the administration everyday. Andy Stern, former head of the SEIU, was the second most frequent visitor to the white house in the last two years. SEIU Treasurer, Anna Burger, was the most frequent visitor. I suppose after spending over $400 million to elect Obama, the last two years have been payback. Oh, just so you know, Stern is NOT a registered lobbyist. His constant visits to the White House are in direct violation of the "registered lobbyist" laws. But hey, who cares? This is Obama and anything goes! Watch Trumka Trumpet his visits in the video.
Obama has all the time in the world for his progressive friends but there are at least 6 Obama appointed cabinet heads who have never received a phone call or a summons for a White House meeting in the last two years. They've never met once with their "boss." It's all on the video. It's hard to believe a sitting president, even one as inept as His Holiness, would not meet with ALL of his cabinet heads regularly. Maybe he's just too busy golfing and vacationing to be bothered.
And now Organizing For America (Obama's PAC) and the Enforcer-In-Chief, Obama himself, are diligently working to mobilize and bus union goons to WI, Ohio, Indiana, MA, and other states where governors are simply trying to bring fiscal sanity to their states. The reality is that unions and Obama are trying to trump the will of the voters who overwhelmingly spoke in 2010. Want to guess what Trumka and Stern talk about when they visit the White House 2-3 times a week?
And this from a president who said during the campaign, "Lobbyists won't find a job in my White House," and then immediately hired Patrick Gaspard, one of SEIU's top lobbyists and now welcomes Trumka and Stern with open arms.
This is corruption to the core. And we are stuck with it for 2 more years.
In the meantime, Mr. Above-The-Law-President, BUTT OUT OF THE STATES' BUDGET ISSUES! WHY DON'T YOU CONCENTRATE ON BALANCING WASHINGTON'S BUDGET, WHICH YOU HAVE FAILED MISERABLY AT??

WISCONSIN'S BATTLE CRY - ENOUGH ALREADY!
The political battle in WI continues with dueling rallies between union members from all around the country bussed in by the DNC and Organizing For America and supporters of Gov. Walker's Budget Reform package. Here is some information you won't get from most of the media - information they'd rather you not be aware of:
In 2001 taxpayers contributed $423 million to state employee health insurance coverage. For 2011 that figure will be more than $1 billion. In 2011 state employees will pay $64 million toward their health insurance, about 5.6% of the total cost. (ETF Health Care Analysis)
From 2001 to 2010 taxpayers spent more than $8 billion on state employee health care coverage. During that same period of time state employees contributed about $398 million. (ETF Health Care Analysis)
Public employers contributed almost $1.37 billion to the state's pension fund in 2009, while state employees contributed about $8 million, about 0.6%. (LFB paper 84, Wisconsin Retirement System, Table 28)
From 2000 to 2009 taxpayers spent about $12.6 billion on public employee pensions. During the same period public employees contributed $55.4 million. (LFB paper 84 Wisconsin Retirement system, Table 28)
When looking at state operations, state employees account for about 60% of taxpayer cost. (State Budget Office Memo 2-9-11)
Wisconsin taxpayers currently make nearly a 100% payment for the employee portion of the public sector pension contribution. Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio pay 0% of the employee contribution. (State Budget Office Memo 2-9-11)
Public employees in Wisconsin are vested in the retirement system immediately, while in Illinois it takes 8 years, 10 years in Indiana, 4 years in Iowa, 10 years in Michigan, 3 years in Minnesota and 5 years in Ohio. (State Budget Office Memo 2-9-11
Survey data finds that private employer HMO plans in Wisconsin typically require a copay of $18 per office visit, $45 per specialist visit, $75 per emergency room visit, or $175 in-patient treatment. The average health insurance premium for these plans averaged $108 per month for single coverage and $261 for family. (State Budget Office Memo 2-9-11)
Taxpayers spent $733 million of general purpose revenue on fringe benefits for state employees in fiscal year 2010. (State Budget Office Memo 2-9-11)
Fringe benefits made up 25.6% of school district expenditures in 2008-09. (State Budget Office Memo 2-9-11)
About 40% of public-sector workers are represented by labor unions, versus 7.7% of workers in the private sector, and here is how the two sectors fare.
Weekly earnings for the union worker employed by state government is $917. A comparable private sector worker gets $703. A private sector union worker gets $855. (U. S. Labor Department)
For state employees there is a union versus non-union gap in wage gains. State union pay has risen 36% in the past decade, while non-union state employees saw wages rise 27% (roughly holding steady with inflation).
On benefits union compensation is higher and has been rising faster for government workers versus non-government workers. The cost of hourly benefits averaged $13.85 per hour in the public sector in the third quarter of 2010, up 32% in seven years. Private sector benefits averaged $8.20 per hour, up 23% in the same time frame. (U. S. Labor Department)
What is there about these statistics that the unions don't understand? Walker is not on a witch hunt to get rid of the unions. He sees the problem, which is, WE ARE BROKE.
Walker is doing what he was elected to do. His plan is about reform. It is about ending collective bargaining which is responsible for legacy contracts that can't be met. His plan is about regaining the publics' trust. His plan is about stopping out-of-control benefit costs in the public sector and balancing WI's budget. His plan is about requiring public employees to pay their fair share at a time when the private sector workers can no longer support themselves plus the public sector.
And most states are in the same sinking ship Wisconsin is in. Every state has to deal with this problem. I hope they all have the courage and commitment that Governor Walker has.
In the meantime, thousands of government employees are in Madison demonstrating. They have called in "sick," while we, the taxpayers, continue to pay their wages and benefits. Now there are real doctors writing "fake doctor excuses" because in order to get paid for their so-called sick days, the "sick" worker must have a doctor's excuse. The "excuses" say yes, indeed, the doctor did examine the "patient." It's a Big Fat Lie. It's pretty obvious that the doctors who are involved in this scam have sunk to an unethical low. I would hope that the state medical licensing board takes a good look at their activities.
And 13 Democrats have left the state so that the Budget Bill cannot be voted on. They are hanging out in Illinois, and the taxpayers are paying their Per Diem to be in Madison. What a dereliction of duty. They should all be recalled. But since they are hiding in a different state, maybe we should finally "close our borders" so they can't come back. Wisconsin would surely benefit if their absence became permanent.

THERE'S HOLES IN THEM CHEESEHEADS.
Wisconsin's newly elected Governor Scott Walker has picked a fight, and he has picked the right fight after only 6 weeks in office. WI faces a budget hole of $137 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. That's right, this deficit is ONLY for this fiscal year. When July 1, 2011 rolls around Governor Walker has to repeat the process of trying to balance the state's budget.
Walker has picked a fight with government union workers, and this fight is a good one. He is asking them to contribute 5.8% of their pay to their pensions and 12.6% of the cost of their health care premiums. Right now pension contributions by a worker can be as little as zero. The health care premium contribution can be anywhere from 2-6%. Walker's Budget Bill also includes proposals to strip state employee unions of much of their collective bargaining power. So what's the problem? I see nothing wrong with Walker's proposals. I believe the bill should be passed in its entirety. And when it passes I hope other states will follow suit. WE CAN'T AFFORD IT ANYMORE. Tinkerbell isn't going to sprinkle magic fairy dust over the states and the country and make the problems disappear!
Just take a look at the TV this week. See all those riots and demonstrations in Madison at the Capital? Most of them are teachers who have called in sick so they could march with ugly, name calling signs. Watch the video below. See for yourself what kind of people are teaching our kids. The rest of the protesters are students whom the teachers dragged along, many of whom did not even know why they were marching. And the teachers? If a private sector employee called in SICK so they could demonstrate at a rally, they'd lose their jobs. The teachers? They are protected by the unions. They can't be fired. Most of them called in sick, and guess who is paying them anyway? WE ARE. No wonder Walker wants changes made to collective bargaining.
Today the Capital was in full lock down. An email from Madison State Senator Glenn Grothman's office read as follows: "The police have advised that we lock our doors. Groups of young kids are marching through the halls yelling at the top of their lungs, drums are banking, etc. Restrooms are blockaded. Angry crowds are pounding on our glass windows. Please pray for our state." Doesn't sound like a peaceful affair, does it?
And today all the Democrat Senators walked out of the capital before a vote on the bill could be taken. They know that to have a quorum at least one Dem. had to be present. To stop voting they all left and hid out in a hotel in Rockford, IL. Hey, I have a great idea. Now that the Democrats have left the state it might be a good time to "close our borders."
And now for the truth. According to Politico, not a Right Wing media outlet, Obama's campaign arm, "Organizing for America," is responsible for much of the chaos. They have been using email lists, Face Book, Twitter (54 messages documented), and filling bus after bus with protesters and shuttling them to the Capitol. This was not a spontaneous uprising. It was an organized effort by The Left and "Organizing for America." They have been urging people to "bully lawmakers" and scare them into voting against the Budget Bill.
I believe Walker's decision to force a showdown with organized government workers is long overdue. WI has to reign in its legacy costs, as do most of the other states, or WI faces 6,000 government employees losing their jobs. So come on, government workers, give it up or become jobless like millions of other Americans -- Americans who you want to continue to pay your benefits and pensions, when they themselves have lost theirs.

CHUG-A-CHUG-A CHOO CHOO
Mr. Obama's State of The Union lecture itemized his plans for future "investments" in our infrastructure. He is no longer calling spending what it really is - SPENDING - but now it's all about "INVESTMENTS." He believes changing the terminology will make us all swallow our medicine like good little kiddies. Just pat us on the head, throw some "pork" our way, and we'll be peachy keen. This is the Politics Of Deception taken to its highest level.
But I do believe "infrastructure spending" was a major part of the so-called stimulus plan, and that was sure a big success, wasn't it?
Now he wants to spend billions on developing and building a light rail choo choo system throughout the U.S. But wait, our highway system is deteriorating, bridges are old and collapsing, road beds are falling apart, ramps are crumbling. But Obama's "investment" in infrastructure cannot be spent on our highway system - at least in Wisconsin. It can only be spent on choo choos.
Wisconsin's Governor Scott Walker has turned down $810 million federal tax dollars that Obama wanted to give WI for building the light rail choo choo from Milwaukee to Madison. Walker said NO, WI cannot afford the rest of the money it would take to build it, nor can WI afford to maintain the system after it's completed. The yearly subsidy from WI taxpayers would be $9.7 million. That's because the choo choo system will never pay for itself through ticket prices, and Obama knows it - and so does Governor Walker. But Obama says if you don't spend my gift on choo choo trains, I will give the gift to someone who will. You cannot spend it on improving your roads and highway system. That would not be "green" enough for Obama. And he's doing this nationwide.
Oh, yes, you are so smart to remember. Washington is already in the "train" business? It's called Amtrak. Here's the Amtrack history. Amtrak loses money on 41 of 44 routes. The government subsidizes Amtrak over $1 billion dollars every single year - money gone down the black sink hole of the government run choo choo system.
And why do we need light speed rail everywhere in the U.S.? Because Obama says so. We're told there must be a faster, more frequent, more convenient CARLESS travel alternative. It's all about going green, no matter what it costs the government, which is you, the taxpayer. Obama and Washington simply don't give a hoot and a holler what you think or how much money we don't have.
But this is the TRUTH. The current federal deficit amounts to about $49,000 for every man, woman and child in the U.S. There is an IOU for you, each of your children and grandchildren filed away in the innards of the Federal Reserve. This represents what our lawmakers have wasted on your behalf as of today. And it will continue to get worse every year thanks in part to Obama's spending spree that doesn't stop. Government borrowing for 3 years under Obama budgets (2009-2011) will be more than the first 225 years of our country put together. Our future is being mortgaged at a record pace. And Obama and many in Washington don't care.
Yes, that's right. There are Democrats and Republicans in Washington equally as responsible for the U.S. financial mess as Obama. But he's the President. He is the leader. He should be leading the charge to reduce federal spending dramatically. Instead what do we get?
A freeze of existing federal spending, which is 84% higher than it was when Obama took office. It's scary to think that Obama is so ignorant of economics that he really believes a spending freeze at the current levels will do anything to get us out of this sky-is-falling economic mess.
And along with Obama's "freeze" we get "investment" in light rail choo choos. Chug-a-chug-a choo choo, Obama. Have you forgotten? WE ARE BROKE!! There is NO MONEY for your grandiose plans. So why don't you chug-a-chug-a choo choo right out of Washington. We don't need any more of your "hope and change." It's killin' us.

RON KIND PLAYS HARDBALL FOR BIG BUCKS
Following up my post of 10/26, here is more information about Ron Kind, 3rd Congressional District incumbent, apparently selling his services to constituents. Kind was asked about this in a debate and he denied it. But think about it. Would highly respected doctors sign affidavits and make these claims if it didn't really happen? Would they risk their reputations and future relationship with Kind if it didn't happen? If Kind stays in Washington he could wield intensely vindictive power, and their assertions would most certainly come back to haunt the good doctors, their clinic and their hospital.

As to why the doctors didn't come forward in 2007? My theory is fear of reprisal from Kind and his Washington cronies.
There could be more claims coming from other groups who experienced the same extortion tactics. Stay tuned to your news outlet.
But read these articles to the end. Kind has other problems. He has an ethics issue regarding a group called the New Democrats, which Kind is a vice-chair of. The group holds meetings with lobbyists for various businesses and then hits them up for donations to the New Democrat's PAC. Sounds like pay-to-play politics, doesn't it? Hopefully enough voters will see this for what it is and fire Ron Kind on Nov. 2.
