Ya Jis' Gotta Love That Louie Gohmert!
This guy is always thinkin'!! Seems to me that Louie's thoughts are usually in the arena of fairness. He's suggesting that as long as the tours of barackingham Palace have been suspended due to secastration seQUEStration, "Clown Prince" obama should fund his own dam' play-dates! I agree so far as it went.
I think the right-thinking Congress should take the Gohmert suggestion and expand it exponentially to include our ruler, the House as well as the Senate:
1. So long as there's no current budget in force the aforementioned should experience:
a. First year-no franking (postal) privileges.
b. Second year-add no senate/house dining privileges/Camp David privileges.
c. Third year-add no funded travel to anywhere, for any reason.
d. Fourth year-add no further pay or cash allowances.
2. So long as there's no balanced budget, the aforementioned should experience no international travel--defined as beyond the borders of the 'lower-48'--for ANY federal workers: hired, appointed or elected, AT ANY AND ALL LEVELS.
3. So long as the Federal Reserve Chairman (currently, Mr Bernanke) continues to print money for 'quantative easing' all elected and appointed federal workers will incrementally forfeit 1% per month for each $10billion increment in wasteful printing. This month that would be 8.5% of March's pay and allowances. The Federal Reserve has been printing $85billion per month for several months which does little more that prop up the stock market and the catastrophic obamaconomy.
There are many more instances that could strangle "Clown Prince" obama's inept mismanagement until he's kicked off 'his throne' or until the economy recovers from it's marxist transgressions. Each of these penalties would and should inspire the working-class to financially, figuratively and really KICK EACH RULING-CLASS MEMBERS' ASS up-and-down-the-street until they understand that we--said working-class--are fed up with our money being wasted DAILY! The referenced ruling-class are not--and never were--entitled to just spend OUR MONEY, willy-nilly, as though it just falls from the sky!!
Comments, anyone?

Call It What It Is.... and FIX IT!!
Family Assistance; Aid to Families with Dependent Children; food stamps; SSI; cash compensation for low-income workers; free healthcare; utility bill assistance, just a few of the aliases welfare goes by. The word 'welfare' is the only one that applies to this multitude of benefits of the 'sweat of others!'
Welfare--as we know it--has it's beginnings with The Franklin Roosevelt administration in the early 1930s. Prior to that, most assistance was handled at the county level, and normally any cash benefits were repaid when possible. President Lyndon Johnson continued--nay, greatly expanded--the various programs inplace at the time. The 'Johnson' programs were expanded by republicRATics as well, namely Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.
After some political "slight-of-hand" both then-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and ex-President "Slick-Willie" Clinton deemed the welfare system 'reformed.' That reformation largely transferred recipients from the 'welfare system' as we know it, into SSI (Supplemental Security Income). A major point in the reformation was The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA). Along the way, PRWORA instituted TANF (largely Aid to Knocked Up Young Teens-Sperm Donor, Unknown) which replaced the 1935-era AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children).
Social Security old-age benefits have long been termed 'entitlements;' THEY ARE NOT!! Welfare is entirely funded by the largess of the taxpayer via the confiscatory tax code of the federal government. Social Security and it's offspring, Medicare--in federal mythology--is funded by individual workers paying into the non-existent federal Social Security "lockbox." These funds were originally to be invested for the benefit of the eventual recipients; not so much any more! By law, any funds not paid out in benefits are to be loaned to the federal government's 'General Fund.' The federal government is then required to re-pay the funds and interest to the Social Security Trust Fund. As is the norm with the 'Ruling Class,' not only do they not repay the Social Security debt, they don't even bother to produce a CONSTITUTIONALLY REQUIRED annual federal budget!! As of December, 2009: The Social Security Trust Fund is owed $2,900,000,000,000.00 (2.9TRILLION BUCKS!!).
There comes a point--and some think we're there now--when the 46% "pushing-the-wagon (workers)" can no longer afford to support the 54% "riding-in-the-wagon (freeloaders)!! Members of the Ruling Class continue to heap debt-upon-debt on the America's Serf Class for their personal and professional aggrandizement! That there's no reasonable way for future generations of the Serf Class to ever repay the vast debt amounts, matters not one whit to said Ruling Class!! So long as they can continue to live the luxurious lifestyle denied their constituents; so long as they can continue to be re-elected are the only driving forces behind their greed and power accumulation!!
The incessant borrowing at the federal level--if allowed to continue--will be the death knell for America's economy!! The excessive borrowing is to create a utopian society for those who won't work, by those who buy their votes! This continuing "free lunch" for the majority of working-age Americans does little beyond creating an 'entitled sub-class' whose perceived entitlement frees them from any exertions-for-pay. America now has an entire sub-set within the Serf Class that can vote for it's own 'pay' increases--much like those of the Ruling Class!! Thus far, it's continuing destruction of economic activity has had several consequences:
Mob Robberies-gangs of youths arbitrairily beat and rob or mug, individuals who appear to have no methods or means of defense.
Flash Mobs-gangs of youths and young adults almost instaneously--without perceived provocation--rise up and destroy anything and everything in their path; people, cars, buildings, public utilities-all is 'fair game!'
Personal Safety-most places that once were meccas of safety are no longer; cars, homes, barns, sheds, et al, in suburban or rural settings are now locked against those who would siphon gas, steal farm animals for food or sale; steal personal possessions, equipment for sale.
We haven't YET come close to complete-and-total economic collapse!! What we see today--the activities of everyone from the Ruling Class to the Flash Mobs--will seem like the 'Roaring Twenties' boom-times!!
'Splain to me again why YOU elected "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist?!?
'Splain to me why WE continue to re-elect the incumbants?!?

Why? It's Blatantly Irrelevant!
Look at just the past three choices for Time's Person of the Year; clearly there's not a modicum of relevance:
2010: Mark Zuckerberg. In the whole scheme of things, just how important is it that I tell my 856 friends that I'm having lunch at 'thus-n-such' diner with my "BFF--whoo-zits?!?"
2009: Ben Bernanke. Since when is unsustainable, out-of-control borrowing a valid solution for unsustainable, out-of-control spending?!?
2008: "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist." An excellent example that a "clean, articulate" smooth talker, reading from a well-programmed teleprompter is not sufficient experience to advance the greatest country on the planet with the largest economy on the planet!!!
2007 Vladimir Putin. Much like "Clown Prince" owe-bama, "Vlad" seeks to continue the basic communist principles, except where said principles conflict with the demands of the Ruling Class of either country. Putin did out-distance the "Clown Prince" with the level of government and Ruling Class corruption in their respective "sorta-free market" systems.
The history of this less-than-august selection indicates that just being well-known will put one in the running; even that year's total miscreants:
1938: Adolf Hitler.
1939: Josef Stalin.
1942: Josef Stalin.
1979: Ayatollah Khomeini.
While 'position' shouldn't even be considered over 'accomplishments;' nearly every U.S. president has been "Man (or Person) of the Year." For example:
1976: Jimmuh Cahtah (Jimmy Carter). What--exactly--did 'the Georgia peanut farmer' accomplish while in office?
Inflation over 17%;
Necessitated the 'Misery Index;'
"Around-the-block" gas lines;
Initiated a new--but proved ineffective as designed--Department of Energy;
Initiated a new--but proved ineffective as designed--Department of Education;
Gave away control of the Panama Canal;
Deregulated energy, transportation, communications and finance;
Environmental legislation!!
Need more be said?!? Time Magazine is using their "Person of the Year" designation as a last-ditch attempt at relevence!!

Who Will Win?!?
The Ohio taxpayer has already lost!!
The State Senate republicRATics have negotiated away several advantages in the 'SB-5' proposal by amending it. Originally, the bill had eliminated collective bargaining but after the aformentioned amendment, it now bans collective bargaining only for benefits, eliminates binding arbitration and forbids any Ohio public employee strikes.
Given the Senate republicRATics 'rolled-over-and-played-dead' on this issue, I see 'SB-5' passing into law. After having 'the upper-hand,' said republicRATics opted to preserve their 'ruling-class' status rather than protecting the Ohio taxpayer from further "goring by the bull" known as 'the union!' The original proposal had been touted as a step toward controlling the growth of Ohio state government; after the amendment, not so much!
There is hope though; no..... not THAT 'hope;' hope that the growing nationwide disapproval of "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist's" policies, programs, number of his monthly vacations, quality of his weekly golf game, et al; is 'alive-and-well' in the State of Ohio!!!
We shall see what we shall see!!
Til Nex'Time....
Another Example:
C. Ellis Schumer is but the latest to test Albert Einstein's definition of insanity! Mr Einstein's definition is: Doing the same thing time and again, expecting a different result. As many can atest, I can get really, really riled when posting on this site. For this posting, I've decided to accord Mr Schumer a full measure of my respect!
When I first heard of him--not that many years ago--Mr Schumer used the moniker: Charles Schumer. In a blatant attempt to pander to the younger crowd, he became 'Chuck' Schumer. When Mr Schumer took his seat on the dais of 'The Ruling Class,' I've assigned two more fitting references: 'C. Ellis Schumer', in deference to his--self-perceived--rightful place among 'The Ruling Class;' the most elite, of the most elite; the other is in deference to his religion. Mr Schumer is Jewish, not that that matters to me so much as how he treats the serf class--but I digress--to me, Mr Schumer is known as "The Putz of Park Avenue!"
Putz: A fool, a jerk, a penis (maybe by extension, 'a dick' in deference to owe-bama).
Park Avenue: The residential address most desired by "The Ruling Class."
C. Ellis Schumer--"The Putz of Park Avenue"--is blossoming; blossoming into the complete idiot I've long suspected him to be!
What'ta f**k is wrong with this guy?!?
Has he never seen a history book--let alone, read one?!?
Hey, C. Ellis, ever heard of Smoot-Hawley?!?
I've read the history books--back when a public-school education was something to be proud of--and I'll gladly impart some of that knowledge:
Much like we have today, a miscreant was elected president in 1928.
Much like we have today, Herbert Hoover promised remedy the country's ills.
Much like we have today, Mr Hoover's actions were a complete disaster. Prime among those disasters was the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930.
Much like we have today, Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 was instrumental in the economic devastation known as The Great Depression; today's economic devastation is known as owe-bamaGeddon.
Your proposed protectionist currency and trade policies targeted toward China will further deepen the already disasterous affects of owe-bamaGeddon; exactly as Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 precipitated The Great Depression. What happened with your 2005 proposal--nay, demand--that China revalue it's currency?!? Bear in mind the average 2005 unemployment rate was 6.1% The Chinese yuan has increased over 30% since; the unemployment rate?!? All-the-way down to 9.1%!! Now you're blathering on about the Yuan being undervalued by 32.5%. As a result of your 2005 whine, how much was the deficit reduced?!? Not one red cent!
Not one dam' dime!
Come on now, Putz!! There's no way you can explain your incompentency away with this one!!
I have long hailed "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist" as the most incompetent boob of both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries!
I stand corrected!
You--C. Ellis Schumer, "The Putz of Park Avenue"--are now at the top of the "Most Incompetent Idiot In Elective Office Today" list!!
Til Nex'Time....{And now, that 'respect' part I told you about:}
What Took So Long?!?
Why did "Fast'n'Furious" take this long to gain traction with the national pamphleteers; with the American voter?!? I'll tell ya why: Rep Darrell Issa (R,Ca-49) finally became chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee for the 112th Congress!! During the prior numbered congress, Rep Edolphus Towns (d, NY-11) held the chairmanship of this important committee. Mr Towns had his own (lack of) ethics kerfuffles while holding the chairmanship: Mr Towns delayed investigating Countrywide Financial's VIP loan policies by refusing to subpeona Bank of America's financial records. Mr Towns' refusal ended when information confirmed he had--unethically--received two mortgages from Countrywide!!
The crux of the matter is two-fold: First is 'General' holder's lying to Congress; Second is "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist's" complete lack of leadership on this issue; the lack of which constitutes 'an impeachable offense.' Both instances abide the owe-bamacRATic party philosophy that 'Ignorance is Power!'
Documentation has come to light that confirms 'General' holder was informed of "Fast'n'Furious" in July, 2010; after which, holder received frequent memos on the progress of this blatantly illegal 'bait'n'switch' tactic These documents clearly refute the holder lie to The Judiciary Committee! That lie being:
"I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard of "Fast and Furious" for the first time over the past few weeks."
The "General's" lie occurred during testimony on May 3, 2011, nearly a year after the documents show he knew of the operation to alter the provisions of the Second Amendment!! OK--at least for the conservatives among us--we've confirmed that the miscreant that is eric holder, is a liar!
How does "Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist" fit into this whole kerfuffle?!? Before we can answer that question, President Harry Truman (33rd) must be considered. That consideration amounts to a small sign on President Truman's desk in the Oval Office: "The Buck Stops Here!" Until the current ruler, nearly every president held that axiom to be the 'linchpin' of their administration. Not so, owe-bama!!
"Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist" clearly is not a leader; displays not even a modicum of leadership; will not lead in any instance!! His primary focus--since the moment of his oath-of-office--has been primarily the destruction of America as we know her; closely followed by his burning desire for re-election.
The nation's chief executive is hired primarily for his leadership qualities, closely followed by his/her adherence to the provisions of the United States Constitution. While there have been varying levels of success in the past, this ruler has displayed absolutely no leadership during his only term as president!!
"Clown Prince ZERO-bama, the Narcissist" is a prime candidate for impeachment! Again, since the moment of his oath-of-office, this incompetent boob has taken agregious 'liberties-with-the-truth (read: blatant lies!)' at every turn. In the 'Lying Clown Prince' problem, I lay the correction directly at the feet of the House of Representatives which has the responsibility to initiate impeachment proceedings. With the advent of the 112th Congress comes the conservative majority necessary to bring forth said proceedings. Will they?!? Most probably not; all are career politicians! The congressional members' careers are paramount; they live for the power of the office, the perquisites--both legal and illegal--of membership in the ruling class.
One can only hope;
We shall see what we shall see!!
