The White House
November 6, 2010
This week, Americans across the country cast their votes and made their voices heard. And your message was clear. You’re rightly frustrated with the pace of our economic recovery. So am I. You’re fed up with partisan politics and want results. I do too. So I congratulate all of this week’s winners – Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. But now, the campaign season is over. And it’s time to focus on our shared responsibilities to work together and deliver those results: speeding up our economic recovery, creating jobs, and strengthening the middle class so that the American Dream feels like it’s back within reach. That’s why I’ve asked to sit down soon with leaders of both parties so that we can have an extended discussion about what we can do together to move this country forward. And over the next few weeks, we’re going to have a chance to work together in the brief upcoming session of Congress.
[What I'm not telling you: Whoa, Nellie!!! Is anyone more glad than I, that the mid-terms are over?!?! Boy, did we obamacRATs get "our collective asses handed to us" on a silver platter!?! Michelle surely didn't perform as well as the obama Handler Group had expected. I suggested the group position a 'Haagen Dazs' cart within view of the podium for best results!! They shud'da listened. Nearly EVERYONE she or I campaigned for.... WENT DOWN IN FLAMING DEFEAT!! While the obamacRATs gained in the statehouse races, we took a severe drubbing in the House of Representatives; we lost 60 seats-unheard of since the republicRAT 'blow-out' victory (+80 seats) of 1938!!! This translates into one of the worst defeats during any obamacRAT or democRAT presidency, EVER!!
As a sidebar, George Soros is reconsidering his affiliation with the 'New Black Panthers' and 'SEIU!!' He pays for election results--He surely didn't get them THIS TIME!!!!
Soros and the rest of the obama Handler Group are 'suggesting' that I "kiss some serious, fuzzy, republicRAT ass" to intiate, promote and perpetuate the illusion of bi-partisanship!! The Group's long-range plan is to create and perpetuate that illusion by throwing the House majority a 'cuppla bones' in the form of compromise on a few contentious problems; unemployment, job creation, the economy-things where we can get lost in the debate and never really solve anything. Every potentate of every regime on the planet demands; requires a 'monument' to his rule.... and I'm no different!! Rep Slaughter of Rochester, N.Y., will eventually cram the "Geeze-Louise
McIntosh Rodham Slaughter Memorial Train Station and Crime-Hub" down the throats of her constituents--much as I have with this monument to myself: OBAMACARE!! We used 'every trick in the book' to get this past the 60-or so-percent of Americans who ARE absa'tively against it! My 'monument' will never be on 'the bi-partisan negotiation table!' Negotiations probably won't start until the seating of the 112th Congress. Soros says we got'ta use this remaining 'lameduck session' of the 111th Congress to cram-down several truly distasteful pieces of legislation; those that would never pass close scrutiny!!]
Here’s why this lame duck session is so important. Early in the last decade, President Bush and Congress enacted a series of tax cuts that were designed to expire at the end of this year. What that means is, if Congress doesn’t act by New Year’s Eve, middle-class families will see their taxes go up starting on New Year’s Day. But the last thing we should do is raise taxes on middle-class families. For the past decade, they saw their costs rise, their incomes fall, and too many jobs go overseas. They’re the ones bearing the brunt of the recession. They’re the ones having trouble making ends meet. They are the ones who need relief right now. So something’s got to be done. And I believe there’s room for us to compromise and get it done together. Let’s start where we agree. All of us want certainty for middle-class Americans. None of us want them to wake up on January 1st with a higher tax bill. That’s why I believe we should permanently extend the Bush tax cuts for all families making less than $250,000 a year. That’s 98 percent of the American people. We also agree on the need to start cutting spending and bringing down our deficit. That’s going to require everyone to make some tough choices. In fact, if Congress were to implement my proposal to freeze non-security discretionary spending for three years, it would bring this spending down to its lowest level as share of the economy in 50 years.
[What I'm not telling you: Once again I feel it necessary to 'educate the masses.' The remaining two percent of American taxpayers are those who create the vast majority of jobs in this country. Nearly twenty-percent of the middle-class are sucking at the government tit--they don't contribute "one dam' dime" to the federal largess from which they feed!!! The top 50% of wage earners pay 97% of all tax collections, and the bottom 50% pay only 3% of all tax collections. With respect to the economy in general; job creation and retention in particular; the most logical solution to this 'Bush Tax-cut' problem would be to leave in force 75% of the original cuts for the middle class; 50% of the original cuts for 'those rich bastards!!' After all, it IS 'those rich bastards' who contribute most to the overall economy and job creation.
Those 'tough choices' I spoke of?? They most certainly should include reductions in federal transfer payments such as welfare cash payments, food stamps, SSI, Medicare/Medicaid, child-welfare, child care, unemployment, Earned Income Tax Credit, just for starters!! Another good place to search for cost savings is the bloated federal career employment; for starters, a FIVE YEAR FREEZE on employee compensation and benefit increases until they're in line with the private sector; 5% staff reductions in every branch, department, bureau, etc., for the next five years. Those are just two thoughts, right off the top of my head. I'm sure there are others that can be made with a minimum of pain and disruption.]
But at a time when we are going to ask folks across the board to make such difficult sacrifices, I don’t see how we can afford to borrow an additional $700 billion from other countries to make all the Bush tax cuts permanent, even for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. We’d be digging ourselves into an even deeper fiscal hole and passing the burden on to our children. I recognize that both parties are going to have to work together and compromise to get something done here. But I want to make my priorities clear from the start. One: middle class families need permanent tax relief. And two: I believe we can’t afford to borrow and spend another $700 billion on permanent tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. There are new public servants in Washington, but we still face the same challenges. And you made it clear that it’s time for results. This a great opportunity to show everyone that we got the message and that we’re willing, in this post-election season, to come together and do what’s best for the country we all love.
[What I'm not telling you: I'm guessin' the public isn't so naive as to believe that bullshit about:
'..I don't see how we can afford to borrow an additional $700 billion from other countries..'
The borrowing I've done to satisfy the PORKulus transfer payments to those supporters of the "Campaign-of-Fluff" --while way-out-of-line in the Tea Partiers minds--was necessary to pay off my campaign 'debts.' Now that added borrowing can actually have a positive benefit, I can't seem to 'wrap-my-mind-around' the concept. I've already sold off over $800 billion in U.S. equity to the Chinese! Added equity ownership would give them monumental leverage
to sway U.S. monetary, fiscal and trade policy. Currently, the federal government is responsible for annual interest expense (ALONE) on the national debt of $200 Billion. At the rate Soros and I are rewarding our friends and supporters--by 2020 the annual interest (ALONE) will be $916 BILLION!!!
[If you thought living under King George III was bad--that was 'a cake-walk' compared to living under Chinese rule (can anyone spell "Tiananmen Square")!!]
Has anyone heard Rep John Boehner's post-election blatherings? He seems to think that the American voter has given the republicRATs a mandate to do more to work with the regime. I saw it as a mandate to STOP--or at least impede--this regime!! Given the slim majority of obamacRATs in the Senate, I don't think it's possible to completely stop my regime but I'm sure the House will throw up roadblocks at every turn!!]
