Hire the Homeless

From the Secret Service to Local Police departments, the contempt shown to the public from the police comes from the top down.
Congress itself is showing contemptible actions in the blatant lies and stupid interference in foreign policy. Why they want to continue the wars, hate and lies must be a question each has to face themselves.
For the people of congress to show such contempt, and then to condemn the actions of the people that are directly under their influence is hypocritical to say t;he least, and smacks of treason.
Congressmen should do their jobs and let Senators and Presidents do theirs,
So far, for the last several decades, the only time Congress has represented the people for the good of the people is when we finally got healthcare. It isn't perfect, but infinitely better than what we had.
Now that we have Republicans back, by hook or crook, they want to steal the healthcare of millions of poor people.
Why would they care? Their healthcare is publicly subsidized, and the best there is - ie paid for by us and better than any you or I would get even with ACA.
My personal belief is we should have universal health care, like every other civilized nation in the world, but Obamacare is much better than none.
And, unlike Congress who definitely does not care, Obama does.
More to the subject, when Congress shows disrespect towards our very essence of governing, why should the police, or secret service for that matter, not take a cue from them and be the bullies and thugs that Republicans have become in the past six years?
They have no fallout, neither the secret service the police or politicians. No matter how the come by their jobs, lying and cheating being the style of the moment, it would seem to be impossible to fire a cop or a republican. Just like sand, they keep shifting around and sliding through. Not like sand, tho. More like slime.
If they hate our government so much they want to destroy it, what makes them different from terrorists?
If they hate our people so much they want to jail, beat or kill us all, what makes them different from any other terrorists?
Why do Republicans hate poor people so much, many of their base are dirt poor. If you live in a long term Republican controlled state, chances are you are one of them.
Why are you voting for the very people who took your jobs, your homes, threw you on the street, then vilified you for being broke and homeless, Who spit on you for being dirty when you have no water to wash with. Who laugh at you and set upon you because you are hungry and tired and have no place to sleep.
The homeless would be much better at running the country. Any homeless. Just start rounding up, what, 6 or 7 hundred or so, make them congresspeople and senators, and replace the ones we have. They certainly could do no worse, and 10 to 1 they would do a much better job.
I can hear you now,"What about the mentally ill on the streets?"
What about the mentally ill in our government?
Another objection "What about the drunks and drug addicts on the streets?"
Again, what about the drunks and drug addicts in our government?
"But they wouldn't know what they were doing!"
You would be surprised at how intelligent homeless people are. And, look at the people you assume know what they are doing. The politicians we have in now are completely clueless, or completely corrupt, take your choice.
Still believe homeless would do a better job.
If not, vote them out in 6 years, and put in a new batch. Lord knows, we probably won't run out.
If we do, because of the policies of the homeless, we can always put politicians back in,

I'm sure in no time at all we would have homeless people to put back into government.

Post Office

Something else to boggle your mind. The government set up a scenario to dismantle the Post Office by forcing them to fund pensions for over 70 years into the future.

Health?

The new health care plan for Texas under Governor Rick Perry stinks.

Not only has this stupid idiot cut off funding for Planned Parenthood - one of the only places low income women can access health care, he has totally screwed up Medicaid for all Texans who need health care.

By his actions, all federal funding for Womens health care has been abolished.

Care like screening and treatments for people who have cancer. People who are not female. People who need all kinds of care, have worked all their lives, and are now deemed unnecessary because they have worked so much they have become disabled. Now that you can no longer provide a service, you are no longer viable to keep alive? Now that your work life is over, just dump you in the ditch and let you die?

How is this going to work out for the people you treat this way? Or do you mean to foster terrorism? Or are YOU the terrorist? 

No matter What your opinion about what goes on in other peoples uteri, No matter What religion you pretend to follow, there will come a time when you have gone to far.

Governor Rick Perry may have just reached that goal.

Governor Rick Perry is just asking for a revolt, by his revolting attitudes and , worse, his revolting laws.

 He and all Republicans purporting to be Christians should actually READ THE BIBLE he supposedly follows.

Where does Jesus tell his followers to dump the poor and disabled into the ditch and cover them with dirt before they die? 

Where does it say in the Bible that abortion is wrong, or that The Government has any business at all in a woman womb? 

To say these people are Christians is so wrong. How can people stupidly follow these disgusting politicians? How is it that so many so called preachers can dupe so many people? How can they call themselves men of God when it is so very, very obvious they are not. These false preachers are of the Devil. and shall reap what they sow. \

Don't be lazy. If you call yourself a Christian, at least read the New Testament. At LEAST Know what you are talking about. Don't let someone else interpret for you. You can read. You have a brain. If you seek this source to discriminate against other people, at least know what it says.

Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, You are a murderer. by your policies, you are killing people who are already alive, are breathing the breath of life, have done their job without stealing from you. 

You will face God sometime.

It could not be soon enough for the people you are killing in your state of Texas.

You are an instrument of the Devil.

Republicans -- again? Really?

Republicans in congress are working on something big, these days.
No, not a jobs bill.
In spite of all the rhetoric, Republicans have not brought up one jobs bill the whole time they have had control of Congress.
Not infrastructure.
Wouldn't want people to have safe bridges, they got by before the bridges fell down, they can do it after.
No. Not even deficit reduction.
The Republicans are working on an abortion bill. Again. They want to stop tax funding for abortions. Again.
The law against government funding of abortions, passed in 1976, still on the books, still a law, never not been a law, is not good enough for Republicans. They have passed, or attempted to pass the same measures three (3) times.
Never mind that it is already a law.
Never mind that joblessness is rampant. That our infrastructure is crumbling. That our schools are failing in every way and their budget is being slashed.
They don't care if you cannot feed your family.
They don't care if you lose your home to shady business practices and deregulated banks.
They don't care if YOU live or die.
The only thing they care about at this time in the nations great needs that we have is how to restrict a females right to choose.
Which means (to them) closing as many women's health care facilities as possible.
Never mind if it means millions of poor and working -now not working - women will not be able to get basic medical care, such as blood pressure tests, such as cholesterol testing - such as birth control information. Guess birth control is, in their minds, abortion also.
When are we going to realise that these people in congress are only there for one thing?
To protect the 1% of the wealthy - their owners.
Oh, yes, as they have shown, by their actions, by the bills they have brought up, and the issues they have voted on, and the way they have voted, they want to be women. With a lot of children. Or, without having sex.
The way they are acting in Congress is a national disgrace. Yet, for some reason there are still people who believe they are working for them.
The Republicans presently in our government only work for one group of Americans.
Give you a hint.
It ain't you.

Get involved. See what your pet Republican Senator or Congressman is REALLY doing to you.
Go to the government website, and see what they voted on which bill they voted yes and which no on.
They have passed 13 pieces of legislation since they took office. They have cost us millions of dollars in their totally obstructionist, unnecessary political maneuverings.
They want to make Obama a one term president.
If they screw around and ruin the American government, manufacturing, farming, air, water, people. they do not care.
You are not important to them.
You will vote for them again anyway.
Because, in their mind, you are just the poor stupid sheep that always voted Republican. Even if it was Clearly NOT in your, or the countries best interests.
So, enjoy the time in the ditch the Republicans manufactured for you, because they are doing their best to push the country deeper and deeper in the hole.
AND, thanks to all the Republicans who don't have time to research the FACTS for themselves, rather watch it on the main stream media that is owned by the multi billionaires, you still vote for these Zeros.
Please be an informed voter. Its not hard, just do a little research.
Please.
At least KNOW what the people you voted for are doing and have done. It is in black and white.
Just the facts, mam.

Held Hostage

America is being held hostage by the very people we allowed to get into office.
Why are they here?
Democrats did not vote in the midterm elections.
This has been the norm, so the media has assured us. The mid term elections are not important.
All politicians are the same.

Why vote?

Does what has happened so far since midterms answer that?
Do you want to lose the rights that we have fought so hard for the last hundreds + years?

Do you agree with the legislation that is being passed across the country against women, against poor people, against our children.

Did you realize, when you couldn't be bothered to vote, that you would lose Social Security, Medicare,education, research, medicaid, food stamps, unemployment insurance - those programs which you support your whole working life.
Now if you cannot work, those are the very programs the Republicans and T party wants to ruin, destroy, end. The ones that are supposed to be the Americans safety net. The net they want to cut/slash/destroy.

Whose fault is this?
Who did not vote in the last election?
Do You hear us now?

Republicans Debt

Republicans Debt

We are finally in some sort of crisis.
It is supposed to be the debt.

Used to be you knew when someone said “I owe a debt” , you knew what they were talking about.

Now we hear that it is Our fault, and that the Democrats and the Obama administration owe a huge amount of money that they seem to want the rich to pay for.

When did this debt occur?

Why, when the Bush administration made deep cuts to the super wealthy tax revenues, put us into two wars, made policies to ship even more jobs overseas, deregulated the banks and wall street paper shufflers as to give them an advantage over the lower classes of people so they could steal their money.

All legal of course. They passed laws to make it so.

Now they want to further push their strange agenda to cut any help to people whom they have caused to lose their jobs, lose their homes, lose their lifelong savings.

Republicans want to raise retirement age at a time when there are no jobs to be had, they want to raise the birthrate by interfering in your most basic right to privacy and choice, they want to contaminate the air we breathe, ground we walk on, water we drink with pollutants that they say are necessary to keep money flowing into their pockets.
For some unknown reason, the people of America keep on electing these irresponsible people.

These people who tried to do away completely, and did do damage to the health bill we all so desperately need. You don’t need their help? Not until you are denied insurance, or you pay only to find you are not covered by your insurance for one reason or another.
Not until your boss tells you if you can’t work for the experience to be gained, you have no job, or you can work for half minimum wage.
Not until you try to get unemployment and are denied because your employer said you quit, and they take their work over yours.
Not until your house is padlocked with you in it.
Not until you are on the street.
Then, all of a sudden it is not the republicans fault, it is the fault of the present administration in the white house.
Never mind that the republicans ran up bills they now do not want to pay for, and even more somehow try to blame the Obama administration or the American people for owing. They spend it, then yell it is not their fault.
Never mind the republicans have obstructed every move the present administration has tried to do to assist the normal wage earner, who, by the way MADE the money for the rich in the first place.

Never mind their single mindedness when it comes to destroying the middle class is out in the open.
These people, who have brought out country to the brink of bankruptcy by their policies of making the poor pay three times as much taxes as the rich, giving multibillion dollar companies and people even more of taxpayers money, starting wars with countries that pose no threat to us and are doing us no harm.

These people who have brought us this wonderful opportunity to experience the poverty that so many American middle class families have held in distain, that have provided the opportunity to people who said homeless people chose to be homeless, so why help them, to experience homelessness first hand. These people have provided the middle class elite a chance to experience at least some of the hopelessness and helplessness of people who have had the misfortune to lose their homes, jobs, health and well being at the hands of the policies that the ‘majority’ of Americans have been voting for lately.

How do you like being in their situation? How do you like being vilified and looked down upon? Called no good, lazy uppity, druggies, stupid? How do you like being classed as the people who are a drain on society?
If you haven’t gotten to the coveted homeless stage. Don’t worry, with the help of our Republican overlords, you will.
And please, don’t remember how you got there. After all, if the Republicans deny it was them who put you there, the really didn’t mean to be ‘factual’, and you voted for them. So you must want them to make you homeless. By the way, homeless people cannot vote.

God Bless America.

Republican Platform

Are we watching the policies, or listening to the hype?

So far, the republicans and the Democrats have shown some of their true colors. As have the T-Partiers. It is difficult to believe.
What is totally odd, is that apparently the Republican voter wants their representatives to :

A- restrict rights of women ( according to Governor Rick Perry of Texas, this is an emergency legislation, to be acted on before jobs bills can be considered)

B- bust up the unions ( a matter of budgetary concern, according to Governor Wilson of Wisconsin, and, apparently all of the Republican officeholders in Wisconsin. Which, for some unfathomable reason were voted in. This was a budgetary concern, until the Democrats refused to participate in the vote. Then it was decided in order to strip people of their constitutional rights, it ‘became’ non-budgetary. And was passed anyway. That is Real representation. Congratulations on your apparently voted in representation, Wisconsin.)

C- Create a health care system that will allow you to become sick - but within limits. Via the ‘voucher system” you get so many vouchers to pay a PRIVATE Insurance company for insurance. Any price they want to charge you after that, you pay for. (This will help to weed out the very sickly, and very poor. They will not have any access to medical treatment, so they will most likely die. The thought behind this? If you are not wealthy enough to buy insurance, and too sick to work, you should die and take the burden of your poor, sick self off society. In this case, the society of the well to do.)

D- Cut funding for the schools. This is related to B. We can save oodles of money by only partially funding our schools. After all, if you educate the populace to much, they may just realize that they have an absolute right to vote, to choose what they want done with their money the government has collected from them in the form of taxes and fees. We have a right to have a say in how they spend our money, whether it is stuck in a “rainy day” Fund or in the Governors personal ‘stimulus fund’ that no one can look at or audit. Or is it just Governor Rick Perry of Texas that has his own, personal, hands off slush fund while the state of Texas is 27 billion in debt?

E-Do away with unemployment insurance - if you are without a job, you should not just stay at home sucking up that fabulous unemployment insurance. After all, it pays about 2/3 of what you got at your regular job. If you really want a job, you can always get one at the local greasy spoon. If you cannot cook, wait tables or wash dishes (for less than min wage. Often these jobs go to illegal’s who get paid under the table. That’s totally good for our country, huh?) not to worry. Aluminum is being bought for 23cents a pound. Pick up cans.

F- Do away with rights to unimpeded travel. - don’t even mention the airlines, even driving down the road, you are subject to be stopped at any time and asked for your drivers license, registration, proof of insurance. Then you are grilled about where you are going, where you have been, and why. After which you are interrogated about the possibilities of your hauling meth, or coke, or some other sort of narcotic. When you assure the police officer that no, indeed you are not, you are then asked if it is alright for them to search your car. This is after they have- looked through the back window, the side window, the drivers window, and more than likely, stuck their head in to look around. Just what kind of search do they need to be doing? How bad are the American people, anyway? If you happen to know your rights, which everyone should, but many do not ( see item D) and tell them no way, they proceed to detain you and send for a doggy officer to search anyway. Where do you see a problem with this? After all, it is called being ‘tough’ on crime.
G- Believe that waterboarding and other tortures are not torture if they use them. They also mistakenly believe that valuable information is gleaned by this tactic, despite a multitude of evidence it does not.

H Lower tax rates for corporations and the wealthy.

#Wisconsin #Union vs. #GOP?

As it turns out, this is not really about Wisconsin, not especially about the Unions, either. This is about the control of the working population in the United States of America.
The land of the free…it appears is only free when you are very rich.
A lot of people look down on the union, blaming unions for making prices higher, for the manufacturing to move overseas to seek cheaper workers. It would seem that many people do not understand that if someone doesn’t stand up for the working people, especially unions, all people who work and earn any wage at all are at risk. The reason you have a living wage now is not because of the companies good heart, not because management saw that you and your children had to work sixteen hours a day for food and shelter, not because they did not know.
The companies do not care. The company is only in business to make profit, if it comes at the expense of your life, too bad, so sad, there are more starving people where you come from.
The company does not even care if it is making profit. It want to make more, companies are greedy by their very nature. If they can make a penny more off you, they do not care if you go without heat. Companies have no conscience.

The only way to keep companies and corporations from exploiting all peoples is to be united. The only way to fight money is to overpower it with people. The only way to secure your rights, what few we have left, is to protest, to strike, to stop work. If you want that to be successful, you must get more than one person or two involved. You must have thousands. Hence, a union to protect peoples rights.

Why have we let the powers that be in power? How could have so many so-called sane people voted for them? I know in our case, we did not. But the voting machines say we do. The machines were proven to be rigged before, what would make Americans believe it hasn’t been so again.. What they got by with once, they will attempt to do so again. These are the people that are running and ruining our lives.
What is absolutely amazing is that so many people are still so stupid that they believe what these paid mercenaries are telling them. Rather like the old adage, if you tell someone something long enough, and with enough emphasis, they will believe you, even when it is patently obvious it is against their own best interests.

Well, we had traitors in the Revolutionary war that sided with England. Now, we have traitors in the civil war with the Rich Autocrats, would be dictators who are well on their way.
It started with Reagan, and continues to this day.
When are Americans going to wise up and say no more?

Cut What ?

So you want to cut spending.

You don't want to raise taxes on the rich, who have been paying the lowest taxes probably in history. So be it.

Where would you cut spending first?

How about starting with the Congress and Senate, as they are a large part of the reason we are in this mess?
Lets cut their salaries to a dollar a year, and they really do not need the Cadillac health plans the tax payers spring for. Why do they have luxury cars? They should be in electric zip-cars. They don't need all that much space for a Blackberry and, perhaps a briefcase.

They are provided with room and board. What do they need with mansions??? How many Senators and Congressmen hold government 'dos' at their house? Why would they? An apartment should be adequate for these mis-users of our moneys.

Why in the world are we paying for their massages, their Fancy lunches, their chefs and servants.

Who decided if you got elected for Congress or the Senate, that you have automatically hit the jackpot?

This may not go to far in helping our deficit....or would it?

Let's see... there are 100 Senators and 435 members of Congress. That's a lot of people. Plus their pages, aides, speech writers, and all the other ensembles they believe they need.

I think that the Senators and Congressmen (I include Congresswomen) don't need to be out dining and wineing...they do not have the time, especially at our expense.

When Congressmen and Senators simply do not have time to read a 1,000 page, triple spaced, large print document in over a year, they have no time to party, fly to visit other countries, go to strip clubs, be entertained by lobbyists, or any of that good stuff we end up paying for.

The complaints about having to read the Health care bill just boggled my mind.

Do the people we elect to our government have reading impediments? are the just literately challenged? Can they read? Where did they graduate? did they not have to read there? Was it just an Honorary graduation?

When the people we send to Congress and the Senate cannot manage to read what really amounts to a 250 page report, we need to fire a bunch of them.

That's what happened last election, problem was, we fired the wrong ones.

We fired a lot of the ones that actually read the health care bill, the ones that actually did do their homework, that did do the job (or tried to) that we sent them to Washington for.

But the media didn't like those people, so they told the people of America ( so they wouldn't have to read the actual bill online) what was in the health care bill. Unfortunately, they are hired by the very people that do not want the status quo upset by reality. They don't mind upsetting you with their lies, tho.

What is also mind boggling is that the media believes Americans are so stupid that they will believe anything that is on Cable News. Even after it is proven, proven....yes PROVEN that they lie.

When are we going to demand that Congress and the Senate get their act together and do what is right for the regular people of America. All this talk about The American People want this or that...I am an American person, they never asked me what I wanted...How about you?

Actually, most of the Congressmen and Senators could probably bunk in the White House. Looks to me like they have plenty of rooms. Why, they have rooms there that no one has been in in over a hundred years. It would do them good to be dusted out, and as it seems Congress and Senate are setting there dusting, good place for them.

But I digress...Back to the cuts.

Ok...now, subsidies.

We subsidize oil companies, pharmaceutical companies, mega farmers, tobacco farmers, Countries all over the world, including ones who absolutely do not like us.

There are some savings there.

How about the prisons..we could cut some costs there by letting out all the non violent criminals who are there for smoking a joint, or carrying a little bit of pot on them. Or dead-beat dads that are taking up jail space.

That would save several billions of dollars.

I do believe we have forgotten about windfall taxes, also. With companies making record profits from our pain, these should be subject to a windfall tax, these extraordinary profits amount to price gouging of the public.

Speaking of windfalls.... How about AIG, Goldman Sachs and the rest of them that are giving out huge million dollar bonuses? Why would that not be considered a windfall? I would think it a windfall if I got a million dollar bonus for doing my job.

I expect that these items alone could drastically reduce a goodly part of our deficit without touching the entitlement programs that people just scraping by are depending on.

How many people have to starve?

How many have to die?

When will the Congress and Senate do the job we sent them to Washington to do?
