Republican Party! Unless and until you can get your message out you cannot bring balance back to this great land. Michael Steele, start the process of finding balanced people who will assume control over some of the failing agenda driven papers and networks, so that a message of truth will be delivered. Only then will the Republican Party be able to get a fair chance to serve the public.

Why is the Housing and Urban Development website being used to ferment social upheaval?

This recession was brought about by an unrealistic expansion of the money supply from the size and amount of sub-prime credit, both mortgage and credit card available. People used the equity in their homes to make major purchases and home renovations. This credit also expanded the money supply. The gas crisis, remember that problem, that was ignored by the Bush administration and the Federal Reserve, severely reduced the amount of disposable income for individuals and businesses. Spending lessened and loans started to go past due. Foreclosures started to pick up pace and as they picked up pace home values fell exacerbating the foreclosure problem. Gimmick low rate initial payment loan terms went away and mortgages reset adding to the squeeze on disposable income. The loss in home value meant that the spending your home’s equity on major purchases would dry up. Neither the Bush or Obama Administrations seemed alert to spot this trend. The unrealistic expansion of the money supply, credit, started to shrink the money supply. The first group to take the hit so to speak were these sub-prime borrowers who should have not been in mortgages at all. Yet they were encouraged to seek loans and our banks were strongly encouraged to make these flimsy mortgages by our politicians, a good majority of them democratic politicians.

What would you do, if you were the President of the United States and had a magic political wand to change things for the better? I definitely know what I would do.

If this was so immediate and urgent, then why is Mr. Obama signing the bill on Tuesday, the 17th of February, in Denver? Yes, the Associated Press is reporting that Mr. Obama will do the deed Tuesday in Denver. If our Congress had until Monday evening to deliver the bill, then why was the vote taken late Friday? My constitutional representation was not afforded the opportunity to read and review this gargantuan bill from Friday through Monday – WHY? Why was I denied the proper representation I am afforded under the Constitution in this democratic republic? Every American, whether they be a democrat, republican, independent, or of other party affiliation, was seriously disenfranchised by the leadership of this country. In this Republic we send our representatives to Congress and these representatives do our bidding for us and are supposed to make informed decisions on our behalf. Why then was this circumvented? Yes the Houses of Congress are permitted to make their own rules, but the Constitution also calls for representation of the people. How can I be represented if the rules are designed to give controlling power to the oligarchy now running this country? Where are the check and balances?

You will see that “Real Change” means the disenfranchisement of the moderates, conservatives and independent main stream thinking citizens for the next ten to fifty years. Real change means a socialist approach to government, business, and freedom. It is coming at you like a freight train with almost no debate. So much for a democratic approach in this Republic.

Forget who is president and speaker today. Ask yourself this question about our country. Regardless who the speaker and the president are at any time, should the Speaker of the House of Representatives have more power than the President of the United States, under our form of Government? Remember, we have no prime minister elected by a parliament.

Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior, does not want to drill for oil off ourcoasts and will reverse the Bush Administration’s position on off shore drilling. He prefers wind and solar. I also prefer wind and solar, but I understand that effectively creating a new national energy infrastructure with additional and rebuilt power grids is tenative at best in the next ten years. Why do we need to gamble on getting it right with a massive shift on source energy and delivery, when we can have that domestic off shore oil as a security blanket. At the minumum, if we were to displace off shore oil with domestic wind and solar, we could become an oil exporter and actually change the balance of trade deficit to a trade surplus.

The stimulus bill that president Obama says we absolutely need right now, because it si big enough to work now has a new wrinkle. In this stimulus bill is a national health care that represents the worst kind of socialized medicine. The government will now be able to direct your doctor on any treatment provided you. The treatment will be under a uniform care plan.

Why is the decision by the Obama Administration to have the director of the Census Bureau report to the President and his staff during the upcoming census a big deal? First some background. The United States Census is the cornerstone of our Democratic Republic. It is the ultimate arbiter of how States are represented in the House of Representatives and how the President of the United States is elected – the Electoral College. Due to the cornerstone nature of the census to our nation, it cannot be subject to tampering or manipulation.

President Obama’s speech Thursday to the House Democrats was as partisan as one can get. He not only derided the Republicans seeking a bill with less non-stimulus spending, he ridiculed them with half truths. He never once acknowledged the amount of non-stimulus content in the proposed bill – surely he know that a goodly portion of this bill is social engineering. He says he needs the bill to put 3 million Americans back to work – the math says that he is paying $300,000 for each of the 3 million workers he wants to put back to work. $300,000 to create one job? Who is he kidding? This bill has no provision to help those who are still paying their mortgage, but are trapped in their homes in upside down mortgage equity situations and it only modestly attempts to attack the soft real estate market, which is a root cause of the economic crisis we are trying to solve.

Deep recession, job loss, and retirement savings loss are the current drivers of the challenges to the economy right now. Our new President is receiving a great deal of good will driven by populism and a far left agenda to move this country into the socialist column and to create a nanny state. Those behind the populism movement must be ever alert to insure that the far left’s agenda does not sneak through masquerading as helping the country out of the current recession. The current pork laden, earmarks on steroids bill being discussed in Congress labeled an economic stimulus bill by the far left is an example of the left trying to sneak it through, at a time when we desperately need a tightly targeted stimulus and jobs bill, only.

By know we should all know the urgent economic stimulus package is not an urgent economic stimulus package. Yes, it does contain immediate job stimulation to the tune of about 35% of the package. Even the 35% job stimulation portion can be considered questionable depending on how it is administered. There is a better way. Why will this economic stimulus package not work?
