"Clown Prince" Weekly Blather; February 26th

A Patriotic Response To The "Clown Prince;" 02/26/2011

February 26, 2011

barackingham Palace

Over the last month, I’ve been traveling the country, talking to Americans about how we can out-educate, out-innovate, and out-build the rest of the world. Doing that will require a government that lives within its means, and cuts whatever spending we can afford to do without. But it will also require investing in our nation’s future – training and educating our workers; increasing our commitment to research and technology; building new roads and bridges, high-speed rail and high-speed internet.  In cities and towns throughout America, I’ve seen the benefits of these investments. The schools and colleges of Oregon are providing Intel – the state’s largest private employer – with a steady stream of highly-educated workers and engineers. At Parkville Middle School outside of Baltimore, engineering is the most popular subject, thanks to outstanding teachers who are inspiring students to focus on their math and science skills.  In Wisconsin, a company called Orion is putting hundreds of people to work manufacturing energy-efficient lights in a once-shuttered plant. And in the small community of Marquette, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, widely accessible high-speed internet has allowed students and entrepreneurs to connect to the global economy. One small business, a third-generation, family-owned clothing shop called Getz’s is now selling their products online, which has helped them double their workforce and make them one of America’s 5,000 fastest-growing companies in a recent listing.
[What I'm not telling you:  Actually, I've been travelling--on the campaign trail--since I left "barackingham Palace" to kick off the "Campaign of Fluff-Redux" at the 'Giffords Arizona Tragic Memorial and Pep Rally.'  The congressional republicRATs and the 'Tea Party' movement members seem to have discovered the true fascist meaning of the word: invest, investing, investment-more government spending--in massive amounts--equating to both vote buying and donor, supporter rewards!  Here, I'd like to thank the republicRATs, libertaricRATs, independents, constitutionalists, Tea Party movement members, et al; for their share of the vast amounts of money required to 'put together' any regime travel; Hell, it costs over $70,000 per-flying-hour, just to use Air Force One!!  This doesn't count the 'close-to-a-million' dollars per stop for security, vehicle shipment logistics, on-the-ground security at the destination-no matter how long the stay is!!  During this blather opportunity, I'm concentrating on four areas:  worker training and education; federal committment to research and technology; new highway infrastructure and high-speed rail and internet.
*As for worker training and education:  My regime, George Soros, Richard Trumka along with the rest of my handlers, are committed to the continued government support of labor, service and public employees' unions.  We intend to use any means at our disposal--my 'Organizing for America group as well as the New Black Panthers; Soros' Media Matters group and many of the other eighty-plus organizations he funds; Trumka's UAW thugs; SEIU's  "Purple People BeatersVoter Intimidation Unit;--to overtly gin up union members' unrest and demonstrations (as we've done in Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio!); to covertly continue our efforts to spread mis-information, innuendo and outright lies.
*As for research and technology:  In practically every recorded case, federal investment in research and technology has never paid off; never 'made a profit' for the government!!  In my regime's case--as with most previous examples--this investment is used for social-engineering; to steer the public in the direction that will most benefit my designs for the country, as well as those of my supporters and donors.  Again, in practically every recorded case, the private sector has made great strides in their areas of expertise--using private funds where there's a profit-and-loss potential!!
*As for highway infrastructure:  This was to be initiated and--in large part--paid for by my recent $787Billion PORKulus legislation!  My regime didn't consider the required supporter and donor payoffs when determining the allocation of PORKulus funds.  Most members of both parties, of both houses of Congress have had a hand in the necessity for replacement infrastructure funding.  Starting several years ago, presidents--in concert with Congress--started mis-allocating Highway Trust Fund monies to balance budgets, to fund pet-projects, etc.
*As for 'the high-speeds;' rail and internet:  Again, far more advancement will be made by private investment if the profit potential is there otherwise, it'll become a government 'investment'!!  Except for growth in both size and control, where's the necessity for government involvement in either rail or internet-unless they need the safety net of subsidies?!?
    As usual, I continue to cite all manner of lame examples to prop up a misguided philosophy!!]    Each of these places reminds us that investments in education, innovation, and infrastructure are an essential down payment on our future. But they also remind us that the only way we can afford these investments is by getting our fiscal house in order. Just like any family, we have to live within our means to make room for things we absolutely need.  That’s why I’ve called for a freeze on annual domestic spending over the next five years – a freeze that would cut the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade, bringing this kind of spending to its lowest share of our economy since Dwight Eisenhower was President. Just to be clear, that’s lower than it was under the past three administrations, and lower than it was under Ronald Reagan.  Now, putting this budget freeze in place will require tough choices. That’s why I’ve frozen salaries for hardworking civil servants for three years, and proposed cutting programs I care about deeply, like community action programs in low-income neighborhoods. I’m not taking these steps lightly – but I’m taking them because our economic future demands it.
[What I'm not telling you:    "Cheese'n'Rice!!"  I find it difficult to understand how anyone would fall for my obfuscation of the facts; my outright lies!! 
"....a freeze on annual domestic spending over the next five years...." 
To anyone who successfully completed "Econ-101," this statement is laughable, at best!!!!  I've run domestic spending to 'unheard of levels in the past two years; any freeze at this level will just barely equal 'a-fart-in-a-whirlwind!!' The freeze will have a net effect of Zero, Zip, Nadda!!
"....this kind of spending to its lowest share of our economy since Dwight Eisenhower...." 
This statement is the "Clown Prince" blather equivalent of comparing apples-to-oranges; it makes no sense!! 
"....I’ve frozen salaries for hardworking civil servants for three years...."  
The public should note that they've not heard any bitching from the federal employees!!  For two reasons;  the union leadership has made certain they understand this is all part of a grand plan through which they too, will profit greatly; the rate of pay for a federal employee is between 160 and 200 percent of the median wage earned by those who fund the government: the American taxpayer!!  
"....cutting programs I care about deeply, like community action programs in low-income neighborhoods...."  
Sure, it looks really conservative, really bipartisan of me to recommend cutting these types of programs; you wait til the "Campaign of Fluff-Redux" is in high-gear and see who gets 'their-asses-stomped-into-a-mudhole' over any cuts that actually materialize!!  I'll be like Gomer Pyle, runnin' up the street, yellin' "Citizens' Arrest, Citizens' Arrest;" blamin' the republicRATs and Tea Partiers!!!]    Still, a freeze in annual domestic spending is just a start. If we’re serious about tackling our long-run fiscal challenges, we also need to cut excessive spending wherever we find it – in defense spending, spending in Medicare and Medicaid, and spending through tax breaks and loopholes.  I’m willing to consider any serious ideas to help us reduce the deficit – no matter what party is proposing them. But instead of cutting the investments in education and innovation we need to out-compete the rest of the world, we need a balanced approach to deficit reduction. We all need to be willing to sacrifice, but we can’t sacrifice our future.  Next week, Congress will focus on a short-term budget. For the sake of our people and our economy, we cannot allow gridlock to prevail. Both Democratic and Republican leaders in the House and Senate have said they believe it’s important to keep the government running while we work together on a plan to reduce our long-term deficit.  Given that, I urge and expect them to find common ground so we can accelerate, not impede, economic growth. It won’t be easy. There will be plenty of debates and disagreements, and neither party will get everything it wants. Both sides will have to compromise.  That’s what it will take to do what’s right for our country. And I look forward to working with members of both parties to produce a responsible budget that cuts what we can’t afford, sharpens America’s competitive edge in the world, and helps us win the future.
[What I'm not telling you:  Here, with the proposed cuts to Medicare and Medicaid; the elimination of tax breaks and loopholes--I feel fairly safe in making those recommendations.  The total of the union memberships; the obamacRATs; the welfareRATs; other members of the dependency class; the 'KoolAid drinkers' far outnumber those of the subjected cut-areas!!  So what I'm actually saying with those proposed cuts is: "UP YOURS-Old Folks!!   UP YOURS-Rich People!!]
