Information Either Misreported or Unreported by the Government Media Complex:
After a vacuous 2006 mid-term election, where Democrats never spoke of what they wanted to do, but simply said they were better then George W. Bush, Democrats took back the Congress –– both the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Democrats controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since 1995.
At that time:
At that time:
1. The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
2. The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
3. The Unemployment rate was 4.6%
4. George W. Bush's Economic policies had set a record of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
5. The US Budget had been halved to $245 BILLION in 2006 from its high after 9/11.
Since the Budget Act of 1974, budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and Democrats have controlled Congress since January 2007. They controlled the budget process for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
The 2007 Budget immediately doubled the deficit, and President Bush had no ability to eliminate any part of it, because the Democrats had a full majority.
January 3rd, 2007 was the day Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee, and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. Interesting that the economic meltdown in Banking and Finance happened 15 months. What a coincidence!
Our fiscal crisis began by dumping 5-6 TRILLION Dollars of toxic loans on the economy from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That one of the leaders just happened to be Barney Frank’s lover is, of course, a mere coincidence.
Starting in 2001 President Bush asked Congress SEVENTEEN TIMES to reorganize Fannie and Freddie, because he knew it was a financially risk for the US economy, and yet today, the Democrats and their handmaidens in the State-Media-Complex say he CAUSED it.
Who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie?

Obama and the Democrat Congress!
For 2009, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, by passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office.
When King Barack took over, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets. Obama was a member of the very Congress that passed these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That was the lowest deficit in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending.

After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending. If Obama were honest, what he should be saying is this: “I inherited a deficit I voted for, and then I expanded that deficit four-fold since I took office.”
Indeed we have a faction of “Progressives” who seem hell-bent on destroying our nation from within to their particular advantage. They appear to want a return to the old ways where a Ruling Class pushed the Peasants around at will –– an ancient system that held sway for thousands of years before the American Revolution and the writing of our founding documents.
The current crop of statist-collectivists are aided and abetted by the Educational Establishment and an Industrial Complex that includes movies, television, popular music, news, fiction, fashion, and advertising comprised of the same old faces we have grown to dislike and distrust. They have achieved hegemony by reinforcing each other at every turn, and smugly taunt us by continually bombarding us with their Marxian propaganda. Worst of all "educators" indoctrinate our children with this bilge on a daly basis.
Somehow, we must rise up against this infernal “Progressive” establishment and return the country to the principles of her founding.
Only then could the prosperity and high standard of living we once enjoyed return.
When the government, itself, becomes Public Enemy Number One, the only sane thing to do is to GO UNDERGROUND.
ReplyDeleteWhen the law is unjust and insane and administered by an equally unjust, insane establishment determined NOT to represent our best interests as individual citizens, it is our RIGHT to ALTER -- or better yet -- ABOLISH the Establishment.

I'll leave the bickering on who's better, the Democrats or Republicans, to the partisans. I certainly agree that the "Progressives" are intent on destroying the country from within and agree that the intent is to create a two class system, The Ruling Class and the Peasants,in other words, a feudal system of old an aristocratic ruling class and the serfs who will be the enslaved masses to be used and abused and disposed of as decided by the ruling class of course. Only in the fevered minds of an indoctrinated "Progressive" could such a collapse of our current world regression be considered progress. Seems that the end address will be some primitive time before the Magna Carta was considered a giant leap forward in the rights of man.
ReplyDeleteYes, Waylon. Alas! Deja vu all over again seems to be the norm for our benighted species.
ReplyDeleteLittle flames of enlightenment have been sparked in the minds remarkable visionaries, and caused brief periods where true "progress" occurred, but sooner or later the passion to dominate and take advantage of those appearing weaker or less fortunate always seems to assert itself, and spoil everything.
"In every government [and every organization] on earth is some trace of human weakness, some germ of corruption and degeneracy, which cunning will cultivate, and improve. Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories. And to render even them safe their minds must be improved to a certain degree."
“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”
~ Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
"The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion."
~ Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
