Waste Not Want Not

As connected with the subject of revenue, we may with propriety consider that of economy. The money saved from one object may be usefully applied to another, and there will be so much the less to be drawn from the pockets of the people. - Alexander Hamilton, Federalist Papers No. 13

The founders knew it. Don't spend what ya ain't got, I'm not as eloquent as Hamilton but, that's what it comes down to. If you only have $10 dollars, ya cant order a $20 pizza, this is the reality that most of us live with every day, making choices between this and that, for the good of our families. I doubt very highly Al Messiah Obama has ever had to make the choice of paying the light bill or buying groceries, I doubt Nancy Pelosi ever had to pawn a family treasure to pay a mortgage payment....but we do make those choices. It is now time for those in D.C. to make the tough choices.

Gone are the days of spending huge amounts of money on corporate welfare, housing and education for illegals, porkulous projects. Time has come to cut waste, move money from wasteful projects to immediate needs. Let me give you one example of waste I can personally attest too:

I live in a very small school district, same one I work for...public schools are broke enough, our kids are getting short cutted on their education and yet, our district is forced by state law to send it's English as Second Language ( which is a waste in of itself...they want to go to school, learn English in the home) teachers to a private school within our district boundaries to teach these kids english....think about that for a minute...kids being sent to a private catholic school, pretty expensive school, are getting their kids taught english at tax payers expense...and to add to it district buses & fuel are used for transportation.

It happens all over the state of Kansas...I'm willing to bet cutting that law would save millions a year. That is one small example of state spending gone amok...on the federal level it's beyond amok...it's disgusting.


The federal government made at least $72 billion in improper payments in 2008 (welfare fraud, tax fraud, medicare fraud etc etc).

Washington spends $92 billion on corporate welfare (excluding TARP) versus $71 billion on homeland security

Washington spends $25 billion annually maintaining unused or vacant federal properties

Government auditors spent the past five years examining all federal programs and found that 22 percent of them -- costing taxpayers a total of $123 billion annually -- fail to show any positive impact on the populations they serve

Government Accountability Office (GAO) reports of wasteful duplication include 342 economic development programs; 130 programs serving the disabled; 130 programs serving at-risk youth; 90 early childhood development programs; 75 programs funding international education, cultural, and training exchange activities; and 72 safe water programs

A GAO audit classified nearly half of all purchases on government credit cards as improper, fraudulent, or embezzled. Examples of taxpayer-funded purchases include gambling, mortgage payments, liquor, lingerie, iPods, Xboxes, jewelry, Internet dating services, and Hawaiian vacations. In one extraordinary example, the Postal Service spent $13,500 on one dinner at a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, including "over 200 appetizers and over $3,000 of alcohol, including more than 40 bottles of wine costing more than $50 each and brand-name liquor such as Courvoisier, Belvedere and Johnny Walker Gold." The 81 guests consumed an average of $167 worth of food and drink apiece

The Securities and Exchange Commission spent $3.9 million rearranging desks and offices at its Washington, D.C., headquarters

The Pentagon recently spent $998,798 shipping two 19-cent washers from South Carolina to Texas and $293,451 sending an 89-cent washer from South Carolina to Florida

Health care fraud is estimated to cost taxpayers more than $60 billion annually

Members of Congress have spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars supplying their offices with popcorn machines, plasma televisions, DVD equipment, ionic air fresheners, camcorders, and signature machines -- plus $24,730 leasing a Lexus, $1,434 on a digital camera, and $84,000 on personalized calendars

Fraud related to Hurricane Katrina spending is estimated to top $2 billion. In addition, debit cards provided to hurricane victims were used to pay for Caribbean vacations, NFL tickets, Dom Perignon champagne, "Girls Gone Wild" videos, and at least one sex change operation

Auditors discovered that 900,000 of the 2.5 million recipients of emergency Katrina assistance provided false names, addresses, or Social Security numbers or submitted multiple applications

Congress recently gave Alaska Airlines $500,000 to paint a Chinook salmon on a Boeing 737

Audits showed $34 billion worth of Department of Homeland Security contracts contained significant waste, fraud, and abuse

The Conservation Reserve program pays farmers $2 billion annually not to farm their land

figures from the GAO and Heritage Foundation

This list is not even close to all the waste..it is but a tiny tiny fraction of what the government waste on a daily basis. A shutdown on the federal level would not be such a bad thing, if nothing else there would be a week or two where this kind of spending halted. Look at this list, hundreds of billions of dollars right there, take just one item from the list and you can fund schools for two or three years. Congress can vote themselves a raise, and do very often, while we struggle more and more. For those of us who do work, pay taxes and carry on knowing it would be easier to throw in the towel and suck on the government tit..I salute you... we are the cogs, we grease the wheels with our blood and sweat, only to watch the fruits go to those who don't deserve it, and in allot of cases don't need it.

Until we vote in fiscal conservatives and stock our government halls with righteous leaders willing to do good for the people, we will keep sweating and bleeding so the lazy and illegal can live the good life.

The Pot and the Kettle

If you recall, there was a HUGE outrage after Gabby Giffords was shot by a complete nutcase. All the libs were screaming that it was hate speech by the conservitives...a Dem was shot because of hate speech by the likes of Hannity, Rush, Levin and Glenn Beck...literally minutes after the shooting it was all over CNN and MSNBC that the shooter was a "right wing extremist pushed in too assassination by right wing talk radio. Well the truth came out, shooter was registered Dem and a friggin nut. The following weeks brought speeches about civil discourse from Al Messiah, who turned a memorial for hero's and a 9 yr. old girl into a rally....disgusting wasn't it? All we heard from the left was to keep speech civil, no apologizing for false statements against the Tea Party, Conservitives...just "let's keep it civil guys".

Flash foreward- February 2011- termoil in the middle east rages, governments all over the world are crumbling, here at home budget shortfalls have left states in shambles, federal budget is short and could stop America from having a functioning government by week ending March 3rd....The Obama's are partying down at the WH with a bunch of lefty music acts.....things are a mess...union thugs have seized state capitols in protest of collective bargining rights, with all the confusion...it seems the dem's forgot their own bullsh*t about civil discourse. Take a look...

Very civil...pay close attention to the signage you see in the back round of news reports, I've seen signs calling the GOP the KKK, Neo Nazi's...comparing the Tea Party to harsh dictators of the world....civality is out the window...but it's ok, as long as its the Dems saying it.

That's my point. The Dems control the MSM so they can say and claim whatever the hell they want and get away with it. Claims such as the GOP = KKK...well guess what...the KKK was in fact started by the DEMCORATIC PARTY...that's right...how fast they forget their history.

• 1860 Presidential election..Stephan Douglas (d) was defeated by Lincoln..Douglas ran on a platform of allowing southern slave owners to keep owning and transport slaves to new territories where slavery had been outlawed
• 1920's Republican platforms ran on anti-lynching laws..Democratic platforms ran aginst such laws
• 1964 Everett Dirksen (R) pushes thru the civil rights bill against 20 no votes from Democrats, including Gore sr...and Robert Byrd

It's widely known that after the south lost the civil war the southern dems. used the KKK as a terrorist arm of the democratic party..Lincoln freed the slaves, he was republican, Martin Luther King jr. fought for the civil rights of black Americans...he too was a republican.

Tea Partiers are neo-nazi's? Neo Nazi's...who pride themselves on carrying on Hitlers teachings are..in fact..socialist...which party closley identifies themselves with european socilism and wants a euro style government in place in America? Oh yeah, the Democratic Party. Socialization of healthcare and most government programs is the goal of Al Messiah..or should I say Adolph Obama....conservitives want fiscal strength, America back to leading the world, sound defense of our nation..while the socialist want to spend us into debt so far that we become what true socialist are..poor, beaten down and standing in line for shoes and bread.

Everytime one of these union thugs, or MSM flapping heads uses speech against the tea party of GOP in general...it's the pot calling the kettle black. Dems have used black Americans for decades just for their votes and returned nothing.

Obama is all over the TV kissing rings and bowing to Muslim leaders and dictators of the world...the very people he compares us conservitives too...pot & kettle! The hypocracy of tyrants runs sooooo deep.

Good Day & God Bless America

Nero, Obama... six n one

If you stop and look around...no matter the point in time you live...you can say things look bad. I'm sure in booming eighties people thought the world was going to hell..but I think it's safe to assume we are at a major point in history. Too bad most Americans have no clue.

    The middle east sits in ruins...normally I wouldn't care but, it does affect us. Gas, terrorism, travel...all things that we worry about are affected by the happenings in Egypt, Libya Iran and so on. Yet there are those among us who have no idea what's going on, hell I know people who don't where libya is. E! News, jersey shore, and fashion week are there nightly news. They, the uninformed are oblivious to the the fact that america has embarked on the same path as those in greece france and other countries, we are protesting, rioting and are on the verge of civil unrest, over government policies. States are broke, mass layoffs, pay cuts are all driving people to leave their homes and tvs behind and take to the streets and capitols....for the first time since the seventies people are up and angry, too little too late.

    Only when their slice of the pie is threatened do they react, a lesson those E! watchers will learn soon enough. The mindless masses have no idea right now that their wallets will dry up soon, out of the blue they will realize things are bad and wonder why. Had they been awake from the start and paid some attention maybe they could have prepared. Five dollar gas, food shortages, riots  and other dark times are about to set upon us, the zombies will take to the streets, the uninformed will seek the comfort of arming themselves only to find their gun rights gone..should have paid attention. While Obama golfed and partied on our dime, the uninformed cheered him on...while Al messiah trashed our rights, drove our economy into the ground, devided the country and unleashed his  czars to rape the land, the uninformed sat....with plenty of bread and circus to appease them ...they were none the wiser.

  Wake up america...your on the brink of being  a citizen of the USSA...the new socialist states will be a new dictatorship ran by tyrants who rule with a mix islamic and socialist law  ....you will be a work slave for the state and your daughters will be burka wearing third rate citizens....

   All this happened while you watched american idol and the bachelor...

Good Day and God Bless America
