The cap and trade takeover

Posted By on September 20, 2009

As you know by now, global average temperatures are cooling, not warming. The warmists have changed their language, abandoning global warming and adopting climate change as justification for their schemes.

Newsbusters reports on the cooling trend and the plan to sue Al Gore and other alarmists. (more…)

Buzzing in the liberal wasteland

Posted By on September 19, 2009

We keep saying we’re not interested in liberal opinion, but twice this month we’ve posted on liberal opinion. What gives?

Liberals are peeling away from Obama. This is of real-world political interest in the mini-era we have characterized as “buyer’s remorse for supporting Obama.” More importantly, we can use the agony of the liberals as a lesson in New World Order studies to help the very naive. (more…)

Population reduction is the master plan

EconomicPolicyJournal offers a profile on Obama’s Dr. Death, Ezekial Emanuel, Obama’s point man on the healthcare takeover. The socialist vision of Ezekiel Emanuel is to do away with the Hippocratic oath and ration healthcare according to life-expectancy formulas. The name for this elaborate formula is “the complete lives system.” This post doesn’t mention this point: Emanuel redefines a live infant as one approaching 2 years old, thereby justifying abortion and early neglect of infant health needs in terms of his own peculiar definition of human life.

Once government control over the health care system is established, a finite amount of dollars in the system will be combined with the complete lives system to decide who gets what treatment. The Obama administration policy of forbidding issuance of new private health insurance policies after January 1, 2010, is designed to make sure that no one can escape from government control over who lives and who dies, who gets treatment and who doesn’t. Available dollars plus your status on the complete lives chart will determine your fate under socialized medicine.

George Leef reviews Stephen Mosher’s book Population Control. Obama’s healthcare takeover should be understood as a population control bureaucracy.

The Obama administration has funded China’s forced abortion and forced sterilization programs, again. If Obama will fund forced abortion and forced sterilization in China, will he hesitate to enforce the same policies here? Can you afford to take that chance?

Obama crosses the Rubicon

Posted By on September 16, 2009

We caught some of Obama’s speech to Congress on his medical takeover plans last week, and we winced. How can the president get away with such outrageous lies? Well, he didn’t exactly get away with it. Gateway Pundit has a little analysis. Even the Associated Press couldn’t take Obama’s consistent lying. (more…)

The Rhode Island meets reality model

If you are interested in recent economic stories and statistics, Doug Noland has a long blog on recent economic news at PrudentBear.

There are signs of recovery as well as worsening. Noland’s important point is that the Fed cannot withdraw from support for mortgage loans without endangering the mortgage market and any recovery in housing prices. Yet, maintaining its support has hidden costs, one being the creditworthiness of the Fed itself. Noland expects a sudden credit crisis leading to bond boycotts and higher interest rates for all bonds, and all mortgages. Attention is shifting to the creditworthiness of the Federal Reserve. We’ll have more on this in later posts. (more…)

The Obama cult

Posted By on September 12, 2009

We were surfing around and found the Obama Messiah website. Is Barack Obama the Messiah? This site will introduce you to the cult. Messiah doesn’t seem to be the right word for Obama. His occult followers think Lightworker or Mahatma might be a better title. More occultist. The important point is, people of wildly differing worldviews can project their beliefs onto Obama. In the case of blacks, this investment is racial identity politics. It doesn’t really matter who Obama is as long as he is sort of blackish and can serve as a point of identity investment for some version of Negro racist history that involves the hopes and dreams of all Negroes everywhere who have ever lived.

Overpaid bureaucrats

Posted By on September 11, 2009

Chris Edwards reports from the Cato Institute that government workers are overpaid by nearly 100 percent. Edwards proposes a federal wage freeze. A great idea, but why stop there? How about a 50 percent pay cut, across the board, to bring government salaries in line with the private sector? We wonder why the Democrats haven’t proposed this?

Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma believes out-of-control government spending is the number one issue among tea party protesters. Perhaps cutting government salaries would help reduce the astronomical debt the Democrats are running up?

90 percent of U.S. cities are cutting spending and killing planned projects. Story at CNN. With so many states and cities facing decreasing tax revenues, now might be a good time to cut the salaries of government bureaucrats.

Things are looking grim in Florida. Things might look better with a 50 percent cut on government workers’ salaries and benefits.

From Wealth Daily, a nice analysis of the higher education bubble and the student loan bubble. Only 19 percent of college graduates found jobs this year. Is the high cost of a college education a good investment? If you want to rescue the higher education system, how about starting with a 50 percent cut on salaries?

Stephen Lendman outlines a depressing economic scenario for the United States. Would a 50 percent cut of bureaucrats’ salaries help stave off Depression?

The Democrats want to ration your health care and force you to buy insurance. But they are having trouble finding a revenue source for the medical takeover. Could they find cost savings by cutting bureaucrats’ salaries?

Wherever we look, whatever problem we encounter, we find that cutting bureaucrats’ salaries is the solution to the problem. How is it possible that one simple solution could help solve so many problems? The private sector is responding to the global financial crisis by laying off workers and cutting salaries. Why doesn’t the government respond with the same policy? Is expanding government just a way for some people to benefit at others’ expense? Do we really need more bureaucrats to regulate the rest of us? What exactly is the expertise of these government employees? What skills are they contributing to the economy that the rest of us need? Is socialist regulation of the rest of us a skill in such short supply that the government needs to overpay employees by 100 percent? Or are the socialists parasites who feed off of the productive labor of others while building their own power pyramid?

Yes. Big government is a legalized criminal enterprise that preys on the people. Now you’ve got it.
