GOV. CHRISTIE CLASHES WITH TEACHER IN NJ

Folks, I just saw this on Glenn Beck's web site at theblaze.com. Gov. Christies from NJ goes head to head with a complaining teacher. Watch this. It is outstanding. He says what we need the new Congress going to Washington in January to say, loud and clear. Click on this link and then look for the story. You can easily find it.

And don't go getting all bent out of shape because you think I am picking on unions. It is ALL spending that needs to be curtailed, in ALL branches of government. But this is a good start. Watch It! You can either go to The Blaze site or click on the video within this blog. It's long, 7-8 minutes, but Christie tells it like it is.

SUMMER OF ECONOMIC DISASTER

Obama's Summer of Recovery is turning into the Fall of Revolt and primary voters continue to point to the nation's distressed economic health as their top concern. Year-to-year economic growth is declining and unemployment is rising, not a good situation when you are trying to con the public into thinking this is what a "Recovery" looks like.

Not smart enough to see that his spending-taxing-regulation policies are hugely responsible for the economic mess we are in, what does the Beginner In The Oval Office do? He announces yet another 50 billion dollar stimulus package allegedly for "small businesses." It remains to be seen which "small businesses" will be the recipients of the latest money-give-away. Wanna bet it will be union companies that get the biggest breaks? He surely wouldn't want to break his streak of giveaways to the unions.

And of course, the Buck-Passer-In-Chief blames Republicans for holding up this spending bill that he believes will suddenly create jobs. Can the Chief Economic Destroyer in the White House be as stupid as he appears to be? I bet yes. November is just around the corner, thank goodness.

Cost of Government Day

Do you know what Cost of Government Day is? That's the day on which the average American has earned enough money to pay off his/her share of the spending and regulatory burdens imposed by our governing and taxing entities at the federal, state and local level. Basically, it's your share of the taxes you have to pay to the governments in one way or another.

For 2010 the COGD fell yesterday on August 19. Isn't that pathetic?? You have worked 7 1/2 months to pay a myriad of taxes that cover the costs imposed by government. This year the COGD fell 8 days later than 2009 and a whopping 34 days later than 2008.

I will calculate it for you so you don't have to. That means in 2010 the cost of government consumed 63.41 percent of the income of you and every American.

Cost of Government Day serves as a stark reminder of the growing burden government places on Americans. For any Obama backers who insist the middle class has paid "no new taxes" under his reign, you are very wrong. Go to http://www.costofgovernmentday.com/ to read information on the various policies that have contributed to pushing this year's Cost of Government Day to August 19, 2010.

And then you can weep because at the rate Washington is spending money and with the additional debt being piled on us the Cost of Government Day will eventually have to be December 31.

Will Work For Food - A Job Please?

This morning the jobless report came out - another 500,000 first time claims were filed last week. I thought the Stimulus Bill was supposed to solve the jobless issue? But let's look at the stats. 18 months ago the Stimulus Bill passed at a cool $787 billion, but including interest on that debt the total comes to over one trillion dollars. 18 months later this is what we have: Unemployment hovering at 9.6%; around 7 million unemployed for 6 months of longer; 17 states have unemployment over 10%; around 4 million jobs lost since the Stimulus Bill was signed; 21% of homes in America are underwater with more owed than they are worth; 27 million are underemployed; home prices are down anywhere from 30-50% depending on where they are located; and Obama has spent even more - 34 billion on extending unemployment; 26 billion bailing out teachers and unions; 3 billion for home mortgage help and a myriad of other spending bills that have driven our debt over 10 trillion. And unemployment is still at 9.6%.

I would like to tell Obama and crew, IT'S NOT WORKING! STOP SPENDING!!

But then, I'm just an American citizen. Why would they listen to anything I have to say?
