This'n'That; February 26th [ExecComp;Nerobama-socialism]

Executive Compensation

Will Nerobama's dictatorial policy include quasi-governmental agencies? John E. Potter, CEO of the United States Postal Service, has a total annual compensation of $857,459. Well......ya know....... socialist policies will out!!!!

He REALLY BELIEVES This Drivel!!

Nerobama-still "fiddlin', "economy-still "burnin' !!" This guy's gotta get new handlers! Two separate handlers must have written his speech to the Congress; out of one side of his mouth comes all these grandiose porkulus spending topics-out of the other side comes a pledge to "rein in government spending." Which piece of fluff are we to believe??

[quote:] “Now is the time to jumpstart job creation, re-start lending and invest in areas like energy, healthcare and education that will grow our economy, even as we make hard choices to bring our deficit down,” [end quote.] A tried and true, proven method of "jumpstarting" any portion of the economy is reasonable TRUE taxcuts. A "true" taxcut involves immediate reduction in federal spending equal to the dollar value of the tax rate reduction. A taxcut puts more funds at the disposal of those who actually create jobs. Who better to create jobs than someone who knows how to do it and has done it? All the presidential blather about creating and "saving" xx million [the number keeps changing!!] jobs is going nowhere!! There are too many "fingers in the pie!" Nerobama himself, and I suspect most of his cabinet are professional bureaucrats; never having worked in the private sector; never having had to make a payroll; never having received a paycheck that wasn't backed by government grants or pork barrel spending!!

Nerobama said that his budget outline, due to be delivered to Congress on Thursday, “will include an historic commitment to comprehensive healthcare reform-a down payment on the principle that we must have quality, affordable healthcare for every American."“It’s a commitment that’s paid for in part by efficiencies in our system that are long overdue. And it’s a step we must take if we hope to bring down our deficit in the years to come,” Nerobama said. A point or two that he failed to mention: Some of the various states of the union practically guarantee healthcare and treatment to all who show up on their stoop. The illegal aliens are bankrupting this system!! $18 BILLION annually in California alone!! The current inefficient policies and programs aren't nearly as costly as treating those who elect not to buy health insurance; those who should not be covered BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT AMERICANS!! Here's where someone, anyone, with the country's best interests at heart would have detailed a workable immigration policy, a workable border policing and defense policy, physical restraints and barriers on the border, itself-but did he?? Nope-socialism won't allow that!! His administration would help create a “retooled and reimagined” [auto] industry.“The nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it,” Nerobama said. GAWD!! He's as bigg'a dunce as biden!! He and his administration are going to "retool and reimagine" the auto industry. If that were even possible, why did the country wait until now to have the bureaucrats RETOOL ANYTHING or EVERYTHING!! Look back to the beginnings of the U.S. involvement in WWII. That era had "world-class" bureaucrats in federal service. If this "retooling and reimagining" by the government were necessary, would not the socialists of the era done it themselves, much like Nerobama THINKS he can?? NO, they relied on the likes of Henry Ford, Alfred P. Sloan, Walter P. Chrysler and others to convert to military production on comparatively, a moment's notice!! Quite obviously, Nerobama didn't fare well in "History 101".... spouting this latest drivel. He might want to check "the Funk and Wagnalls" to LEARN MORE about Carl Benz: German inventor Carl Benz (1844-1929) is one of the individuals given credit for the creation of the first automobile. In 1885 he invented the motorized tricycle, which became the first "horseless carriage" to be driven by an internal combustion engine. Benz's contributions to automotive design also included the creation of such features as a carburetor and an electrical ignition system. What does "reimagining" or "reimagine" even mean?? I can "re-imagine" anything-in ANY WAY I want to...... it this context, the statement makes no sense....but.... what's new and different?!?! Nerobama also spoke forcefully about the need for high school and higher education for the nation’s children. He promised by 2020 that America would have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. But beyond lauding more education funding in his stimulus package, Nerobama also called out for the need for reform in the American school system, which will be exemplified by his budget proposal. “That is why this budget creates new incentives for teacher performance; pathways for advancement; and rewards for success,” the president said. Does the blather ever end?? He needs only to look at both the Asian countries and the asian students in America. In both, the drive for education and perfection seems to be foremost in their lifestyle-reinforced by their parents and their society. There are a coupla things he could do if he truly wanted to improve the American education experience: Discard the "tenure system." This does little more than assure mediocre teachers a position in the system; it rewards lacklustre performance. A gifted, successful teacher will not have any problem remaining in the system!! Secondly, this is one place where "The Fairness Doctrine [in Education]" would have a measureable, meaningful effect. For every commie-pinko professor, require a conservative one... particularly in the areas of social sciences and economics. DO NOT CONFUSE "conservative" with "Republican".... there'sa world of difference!!! Til Nex'Time....
