Obama’s $100 Million Cut

President the Budget Cutter

Today, President Obama called for $100 million in budget cuts. Out of a $4 trillion in spending this year, this is the rounding error of a rounding error:
· It is 1/40,000 of the federal budget;
· It is 1/7,830 the size of the recent “stimulus” bill;
· It would close 1/1,845 of this year’s budget deficit;
· It is the amount the federal government spends every 13 minutes; and
· For a family earning $40,000 annually, it is the equivalent of cutting $1 from their family budget.

34 Years ago


Yeah, I'm a Veteran.

A medic in the 101st Airborne, Kentucky 1975 and a young father with my daughter.

I've been looking at old photographs this afternoon.

Here We Go Again

Maybe...

The environmentalists won one of their constant nuisance court cases yesterday. Basically shutting down or at least delaying for some years the development of oil exploration on the Outer Continental Shelf. This is not good news for America, but good news for America is real hard to come by these days, unless your a liberal fascist socialist. Since I work for the exploration department of a "Big Oil" company in Alaska this is especially bad news for me and my coworkers . We just survived a layoff. However I was personally warned that there were no guarantees. More layoffs might come if the economic and political situation doesn't improve. Add this court rulings negative impact to Alaska oil exploration on top of the almost inconceivable liberal fascist socialist attempts of our President to destroy capitalist America and remake it in the image of the Soviet Union and I think it safe to say the economic and political situation is not improving.

Depression, both personal and in national economics is not a pretty thing.

Fascism - A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Point 1 - Racism: Remember the President's Minister, Rev. Jeremiah Wright

Point 2 - Suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship:

Trying to remove the secret ballot from union elections with "Card Check."

Attempts to silence conservative talk radio by bringing up the "Fairness Doctrine" again.

The Department of Homeland security suggesting that to be right wing, to believe in states rights, be opposed to the current administrations policies, to be supportive of the First Amendment, to have served in Iraq or Afghanistan makes you a possible terrorist. As someone wrote recently, I guess 5 of the US Supreme Court Justices should turn themselves in.

Charlie

Howling Dogs and Coyote

One of the websites I visit every day is, http://www.dailycoyote.net/ The author, Shreve, posted an audio file of Charlie the Coyote and his buddy Chloe the Border Collie talking to thier friends a mile away. When I played the audio file, my Malamute, Shadow, was sleeping at my feet. He jumped to his feet with one loud bark and then immediately began howling back to Charlie and Chloe. I played the auto file three times in a row and he howled through all of them. When I stopped he ran downstair and out into the yard barking and howling for ten minutes trying to get them to talk back to him.
