Revolution in Iran is probably not on the horizon. Although the students that led the revolution are a later generation, those who desire that are in a system that has acquired western intelligence skills. This makes organizing a revolution almost impossible. Those who survived the purge that the Khomeini have conducted through the decades are surrounded by people who are tied to the government.<br />
The mas sad has taught the need to keep things dark, so if Iran signals that it has nuclear capability it is because the Russians have allowed them to do so. A nuclear Iran can, only then, be on the horizon as Russia and Red China attempt to amass the power they wish to wield. The power to close down the oil lanes which will hold the west at their mercy.<br />
Iran and Iraq are the key to controlling the gulf. Once bitter enemies, Iran has gained an ally in Iraq because of the religious ties they hold in common. Little do they know of the sway that Russia and China will hold over them, Much as north Vietnam learned during the years the Vietnam War raged. They found China to be an unwelcome neighbor and Russia to be just as distasteful. Iran and Iraq would find that their oil would be the slave to Russian and China's whim and those whims would be, to control the world by withholding oil from the markets, creating another 1970 oil embargo that would never end, while they diverted oil and the profits of controlling it, to obtaining a stead fast grip on the flow of oil around the world, and there by forcing a show down over energy. One they think they can win with China's new Navy.<br />
This is only a very cursory assessment of the situation, but it demands consideration in respect to how to deal with Iran. Sanctions should be accompanied by the determination to use a wide latitude of responses to Iran's continued power expansion. Nothing should be off the table in respect to response, from covert to military. Military doesn't mean all out war which would be stupidity, but a thought toward cooling off relations with Russia and China and more militaristic position by the U.S. toward them.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="cse-search-results"></div>

The $300 million USAID-funded plant has been criticized for the high price of the electricity it produces, mostly due to the exorbitant cost of transporting imported diesel fuel through Afghan war zones to operate the facility. Currently the plant runs at an average of 25 percent of capacity, only supplementing electricity for Kabul, which primarily uses cheaper imported power as well as hydroelectric power produced in Afghanistan. Proponents of the plant say that, although expensive, the Tarakhil plant helps provides energy independence for Afghanistan. Almost ten years after the 9/11 attacks and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. government is spending some $2.5 billion in 2011 alone on development projects in Afghanistan.

The investigation was sparked by the opposition to the plant and the billions of dollars the actual cost of the plant was an the estimated cost. What I will call big <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_industry" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Electric power industry">power company</a> meets <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_New_York" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Central New York">Central New York</a> corruption.<br />
One investigation discovered that many of the welds in the pipes of the plant were never xrayed as required by the nuclear regulatory required at the time. It derttermined that one xray had been done of one <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weld-On" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Weld-On">weld on</a> one pipe and been submitted as the welds on all the pipes in the plant up to that point. This probably came out because someone was not payed off as is usually the case in these things.<br />
While doing the investigation it was reported that the mafia controlled the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cement" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Cement">cement</a> supply to the plant and that this had a huge impact on the cost of the cement and the availability of that cement. To this day no <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.break.com/topics/dumb-cops" rel="break" target="_blank" title="Dumb Cops">criminal investigation</a> has publicly taken place in to those allegations and yet the nine mile plant stands and there is talk of building another in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=43.4547222222,-76.5066666667&spn=0.1,0.1&q=43.4547222222,-76.5066666667 (Oswego%2C%20New%20York)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Oswego, New York">Oswego</a> near it. Of course it should be stated that no county in Central New York has ever mentioned the mafia in the years before or since nine the nine mile plant was built, so perhaps <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organized_crime" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Organized crime">organized crime</a> hasn't found Central New york.<br />
Hopefuly, for the Company that is proposing the new plant, this was all just bluster, but one wonder where those billions of dollars in cost over runs went. We never got a real answer to that.<br />

<strong>Switzerland has a great economy and it's banking sector is the key to that. Other countries have tried to be Switzerland, but it has always resulted in a train wreck. The most recent train wrecks have been Iceland and the U.S., but Europe is about to follow.</strong><br />
<strong> People envy the Swiss economy, but they don't understand that it can't be translated to bigger countries who have large numbers of immigrants and natives, who don't have highly technical skills. The reason that everyone has to have that kind of expertise is that Switzerland's population is mainly that type of people and they simply don't allow people who don't have those kinds of skills to live there. Of coarse there are a small number of people there who are not, but Switzerland is expensive, so they have to be employed by the wealthy or supported by the needs of the wealthy. For instance, farming can be a lower skilled industry, because the wealthy don't really worry about food prices. They pay what it costs. But anyone who doesn't have demand for their skills simply can't afford to live in Switzerland. Still that doesn't stop people in other countries from the delusional belief that it can be done every where.</strong><br />
<strong> For 4 decades the Republicans have tried to make the U.S. into Switzerland and it has resulted in worse and worse depressions. There is no such things as a bad recession. A bad recession is a depression and that is what we have now. If every economist was not owned by the government we would hear the truth about the state of the economy. Nevertheless. Republicans are deluded into thinking that people will do what is in their own interests economically and that simply isn't true. The drive to be top dog always causes people too take short cuts or take more risk than is prudent to get ahead. That is human nature and the reason why big corporations had boards of directors that answered to stock holders. Absent that accountability, corporations always crash and burn. The best example of this is Chase's latest fiasco. No CEO should survive losing 7 Billion dollars unless they are related to Jesus Christ. CEO's are not particularly bright they simply have good decision making skills and get good advice. They also get the inside scoop from their buddies when it counts and have deal making abilities. Most are anal retentive too.</strong><br />
<strong> Still Bush 1 and Bush 2 the sequel both listened to some dumb ass who told them that the U.S. could be Switzerland if only we let people off their leashes. We see how that has worked. Thirty million have lost their Jobs. Mitt Romney's answer to that is that they will leave the country if we simply cut them off. Yes sir! You too can get ready to give up your citizenship if he wins, because he wants people with no money to leave. How do you like Paraguay?</strong><br />
<strong> Too Hispanic for you. Well get your passport ready because the rich can buy their own services and that means you will be unemployed.</strong><br />
<strong> The idea of having an economy based on Switzerland has been kicked around for decades and that is the political fight we are involved in. Do we whittle down our economy to the point that only the rich and their chosen can have opportunity in the U.S. and kick everyone else to the curb after they are no longer useful. That is how it was before Social Security and pensions. When you are no longer able to work, you get nothing and are left to die. Millions died that way, in the poor house, isolated, without any life, or meaningful activities. This is no exaggeration either. Before unions people worked as many hours as the boss said and for no living wage. Vacations were for the rich. Their lives had meaning watching the rest of us work ourselves to death while they played. It's also the reason they went to hell, so if aunt Molly had millions don't expect to meet her in heaven, "just saying". You can't enslave people and go to heaven as Ebenezer discovered that. That is an aside.</strong><br />
<strong> The question is, whether to shrink the population to the degree that a million people can be served by the rest of the population while they play and pretend to be royalty. The answer to most is hell no, but most don't know that they are voting away their citizenship yet. People are already retiring to Mexico to live a better life. The south has almost finished purging itself of the poorer people. Jobs are few there and people there simply can't afford to stay there. The kids there see no future at all and they have fallen in to hopelessness.</strong><br />
<strong> That is the way you get to a Swiss economy. Unfortunately where do the rest of the U.S. citizens go. No where. Even the ghettos in the cities can't sustain themselves.</strong><br />
<strong> The real question will be, when will the people no longer accept this as a given and turn on those who are trying to take away their lives. Americans have never gone down without a fight and even the rich can't afford to keep people in prison. That would especially be the case if they had to hire private armies to protect themselves from the rest of society and how would you stop IED's. The rich would be captive to their houses unable to use the roads. Is that the America they want. I think we lived those days when Dillinger and others were heroes. Of course in these days they are portrayed as cold and callous killers, but to the poor they were fighting against the wealthy who enslaved and kept others impoverished just like the Swiss economy would do here.</strong><br />
<strong> There are a lot of guns out there too and when it's your choice to go to the poor house will you just give yours up? Americans are fighters. Is it back to the 30"s or the beginning of a revolution. We are at the tipping point. The aristocracy in France never saw it coming.</strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="cse-search-results"></div>

<strong> Part I sets the stage for the manipulation of the economy by reducing competition to the point that it only existed on paper.</strong><br />
<strong> Economists work for the government and they are taught by government economists, so they all follow the pack like sheep. When Clinton signed the NAFTA Treaty, collective bargaining in the U.S. began a spiral of death. That piece of legislation began the mass exodus of American jobs over seas and it was applauded by economists. In the decades that followed businesses were raped and union workers turned out the doors. That was preceded by the termination of usury laws that allowed banks unlimited power to charge higher and higher interest rates on houses, cars, and credit cards. Both parties supported these laws and conspired to keep the SEC from having enough staff to rein in Wall Street.<br />
The whole system was built on borrowed money and housing and using credit card debt as collateral. Republicans aided in the demise of production in the U.S. by allowing China to gain leverage over U.S. borrowing. They then aided companies in out sourcing by giving them deals. Further, Congress past laws that allowed the rich to avoid paying taxes, which reduced the motivations for companies and people to bring dollars into the U.S.<br />
Both parties took turns lobbying businesses to move over seas and it worked. American jobs went off a cliff in 2008 and continued to follow that trend through 2009.</strong><br />
<strong> During the time the U.S. should have been building clean rooms, business and government decried free trade. Free Trade is just a euphemism for outsourcing.</strong><br />
<strong> Other countries force car makers to pay 25% tariffs on our products, while we charge 2%.</strong><br />
<strong> A total sell out. The pay off to congress is billions of dollars in work after they leave Political Office. In return they allow whole markets to go to other countries such as China. </strong><strong>Congress knew about the problem and flooded china with trade deals, even as China's Government used U.S. dollars to build it's military might.</strong><br />
<strong> Congress ignored the price fixing by the oil companies and continues to allow them to act like they are independent nations. A trillion dollar market is owned and controlled by 6 or 7 major companies who buy each others oil at inflated prices to jack up the price of oil simply, because they can. They export U.S. oil and buy more expensive crude and import it to the U.S. simply because they can. In the 50's they would have been taken over by the government, but ours has no teeth. It cowers and whimpers while our resources get sent out of our country, leaving us to pay more for foreign oil we don't need to import.</strong><br />
<strong> Both parties take turns screwing the American public economically. Democrat or Republican nothing changes, because big money has bought them at day one. Jobs that would be here remain in other countries that won't buy our goods or in China's case pay for it to build a military capable of controlling the far east and making a war with China almost certain. It goal to do what Japan could not do, rule the Pacific and drive a wedge between the U.S. and it's pacific allies. The end game to spread its form of Communism throughout Asia and snapping up countries as the U.S. watches powerlessly.</strong><br />

Syracuse was helpless as they fouls were called more than two to one against them. Will an investigation follow, will the NCAA have the balls to look into their conduct.<br />
The refs neutered Syracuse's offense by decimating them with fouls early and often hitting 5 Syracuse players with 4 fouls and turning a blind eye to foul after foul by Ohio State. With no Offense left Syracuse did its best but the odds were to stiff to overcome and so the fix was in from the starting tap to the final whistle even as the Commissioner of the NCAA sat and watched mum, as Syracuse's coach pleaded to him for one call.<br />
Perhaps this was the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://ncaa.org/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="National Collegiate Athletic Association">NCAA's</a> punishment for Syracuse's coach rebuking the press for questioning his coaching abilities. In any case, tonight basketball suffered a black eye no less significant than the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sox_Scandal" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Black Sox Scandal">Black Sox scandal</a> in Chicago. This time it was not the players but the referees who shaped the NCAA tournament brackets. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.cbs.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="CBS">CBS</a> soft sold the result, as always, knowing that the tournament has sway over their coverage rights. All in all a very disappointing display. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_basketball" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="College basketball">College Basketball</a> needs a a new Governing body, because the one they have has created a system that is biased against the athletes and the coaches, who do not garner as much respect as others.<br />
An example of this is making an obviously mediocre team like Duke a 2 seed in the NCAA after being blown out twice in one season by teams that didn't make the tournament or were bounced themselves. The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.theacc.com/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Atlantic Coast Conference">ACC</a> has become a dead zone for talented teams due too the bias referees show Duke and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.5,-80.0&spn=3.0,3.0&q=35.5,-80.0 (North%20Carolina)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="North Carolina">North Carolina</a>. They should be paying Syracuse to join so they can gain at least a shadow of competitiveness in their league. Other conferences have been decimated by the same problems. Student athletes no longer want to play on, what is a predetermined loser team.<br />
Basketball has now gone the way of college football which is a farce. Predetermined teams are ranked and and the outcome follows the rankings unless a tragic injury occurs. The facts is that colleges probably collude to recruit some kids and not others. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.ncaa.com/basketball-mens/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship">March Madness</a> is just about the gambling now and the billions of dollars it brings. Teams get home court advantage in the ACC since <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.8188888889,-78.6447222222&spn=0.1,0.1&q=35.8188888889,-78.6447222222 (Raleigh%2C%20North%20Carolina)&t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank" title="Raleigh, North Carolina">Raleigh</a> has become what seems to be a permanent site. It would be highly unlikely to see a city like Cincinnati get to be a NCAA site much less the city of a mid major. With the weakness of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.pac-12.org/" rel="homepage" target="_blank" title="Pacific-12 Conference">PAC 10</a> the furthest the NCAA goes now is the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwestern_United_States" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Midwestern United States">Midwest</a>.<br />
As for the athletes, they are the pawns in big a money Ponzie scheme that forbids them to live above the poverty level. God forbid they should get a cut of the millions, that the schools are splitting and advertisers are sucking in, based on their ability to play a sport.<br />
I went away from football because of the inevitability of the results of the season and the lack of a real National Champion. I guess I will go away from college basketball now, as it has become a farce too. When hype means more than the game it is time to turn the game off.<br />
Regardless of the scandals that hit Syracuse, the players on Syracuse should not haved suffered. The school should be fined if it found to have violated rules. The athletes shouldn't suffer.<br />
As for the cover ups, I have no doubt they exist in every college or University since the economics of sports is so crucial to those institutions. The win at all costs attitude pervades big time college sports. The NCAA rules seem to exist now to keep the athletes from sharing in the prophets, and not to keep them as amatures for the purpose of keeping money from influencing the high dollar sports. It is a laugh that colleges and Universities have decided to raise standards for the athletes educationally when they themselves have turned into intuitions of prostitution, profiting from student loans and rising tuition that bars kids access to a secondary education or robs them of the ability to pay to finish it. It is more sad that it turns kids into indentured servants to the banks and the government and prevents them from living debt free. <br />
I realize I have extrapolated from a basketball game to a much larger and broader area, but it is really the whole system that is corrupt and the basketball game is just the overtly public corruption that can be observed. Its just a very sad state of affairs in a big picture that has become even sadder.<br />
My advice to those stuck in that system is simply to not participate in it.<br />
What if every student in the whole country said I am taking next year off. What do you think would happen to the tuition rates and the interest on loans and the institutional power? It would fall that's what. Instead of students begging to get in, those institutions would be begging them to come back,. much as the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Credit card">credit card</a> companies beg you to get a card if people cut theirs up and stop charging. Banks would beg if people pulled their money out and refused to participate in their system.<br />
Some uneducated people might think that I propose communism, but what i propose is simply being a good consumer. People should know if what they are buying has the value that it is priced at and if it doesn't they should simply decide not to purchase it. We wait for things to go on sale, but we don't wait for everything to go on sale. We need to wait for a sale on everything we use and buy. If you can't pay for it in your life time a thing has no value unless your kids will benefit. You can't leave an education to your kids, its impractical for them to wait til their 50 to get it and it doesn't work that way. In your life you'll pay more fees to the bank than you'll ever get in services. I suggest a post office box and postal orders instead. It doesn't pay interest but neither does the bank and you can probably trust the post office more than the bank.<br />
Think about it, why pay some one to hold your money for the month. Hell I would hold it for free. Would you hold someones money for free if you could use it for a while and give it to them when they want it? Why pay someone to save your money. True story a friend put 50 dollars in a savings account for a rainy day. When that rainy day came a few months later she went to the bank to get it. The account was empty. Why? Guess! The bank had charged a fee every month til it was cleaned out. Poof it was gone. It would have been safer buried in a box in the ground. People used to do that ya know. Just saying.<br />

I don't think <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.insurance.com/health-insurance/coverage/medicare-open-enrollment.html" rel="insurancecom" target="_blank" title="Medicare open enrollment">Medicare</a> Fraud can be eliminated because people with Medicare are trusting individuals. They don't think their <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physician" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Physician">doctor</a> could be committing <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_fraud" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Medicare fraud">Medicare fraud</a> because they don't have a problem with their doctor. <br />
Perhaps this is the biggest problem with Medicare fraud. Doctors who commit it are good at covering up their activities. They don't do it to everyone. They do it to people who, they believe, will not know, or those who have no voice. People who's relatives are likely to say that they are glad their relative is not suffering any more or those who's will say they lived a good long life and accept the persons passing.<br />
The targets for Medicare fraud are usually the disabled the infirm or the very old, much as it is for medicaid fraud. Usually the doctor is the one who gets charged, but make no mistake, there are many others who benefit from it knowingly who walk away Scott Free. Medicare and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicaid" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Medicaid">Medicaid fraud</a> can not exist without people turnig a blind eye to it. They use it like an <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_teller_machine" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Automated teller machine">ATM</a> and they are either letting people's conditions deteriorate so they can charge more for the conditions that develop or they are medicating people for things that are not necessary. Still some others are given <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analgesic" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Analgesic">pain killers</a> rather than doing a simple surgery to solve a problem.<br />
Fraud could not exist if these people had people to go to the doctor with them and ask questions and refuse to accept a first opinion. These days everyone should get a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_opinion" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank" title="Second opinion">second opinion</a>: if the doctor doesn't explain the results of any tests they or their relatives have; if the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/symptom-checker" rel="everydayhealth" target="_blank" title="symptom">symptoms</a> persist after they are told that there symptoms are due to something they were never told about; If they don't have symptoms but are told they have a problem; or if they still have questions after they see their doctor.<br />
A big indicator of fraud is a being given a diagnosis and being refused a referral for a second opinion or failure to do routine follow up tests.<br />
If at any time you are refused treatment under Medicaid or Medicare you should report it to those agencies in writing. Don't assume a phone call is enough. In many cases corruption exists within the system itself. Legal aide exists in many areas for free to help you file a complaint. We all need to be vigilant about this issue, to keep our disabled and elderly relatives safe and to save the tax payers huge bill because of fraud.<br />

We got more references about how blacks need to get jobs and get off food stamps. He also seems to think that black kids should be school janitors. Watch out school <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janitor" rel="wikipedia" title="Janitor">Janitors</a> the Republicans want to put you out of work. They want cheap black labor.<br />
In this day and age racism is totally unacceptable. We should annex states that have problems like this and move the ignorant <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_people" rel="wikipedia" title="White people">white people</a> to Guantanamo. Maybe they would appreciate the fact that we have a free society. All people have rights in this country. Any one who opposes this should lose their freedom until they understand that their freedom doesn't over rule any one elses' Maybe it's time to put a bounty on their scalps, the same way people have done to others in the past.<br />
Republicans put 10 million people out of work by sending their jobs to China. Newt and Romney just loved doing that. Romney actually personally sent 10's of thousands of jobs out of the country single-handedly. He also create thousands of jobs there. Romney should be running for President of China. He did more to make them a power than any other Republican politician except maybe <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.biography.com/people/newt-gingrich-9311969" rel="biographycom" title="Newt Gingrich">Newt Gingrich</a>. He who be Prime Minister in China.<br />
Republicans call it free trade but it was really a plot to take American jobs and send them out of the country. The idea being that only the rich would have money in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.history.com/topics/states" rel="historycom" title="The States">United States</a> and they would have <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery" rel="wikipedia" title="Slavery">slave labor</a> to mow their lawns and clean their homes. Back to the days of Hazel the maid. <br />
The only people who are envious are the rich. They got tired of seeing people who could afford houses like theirs and big ticket items. Their lives lost meaning because they couldn't have any one to look down on. They paid politicians to sell out the American people, so that the rich could feel good about themselves. Its no wonder that people are fed up with the elites. They may however find that their plan worked to well. Now the criminals have only one place to go to steal and its the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth" rel="wikipedia" title="Wealth">Rich people</a>'s places and businesses. At this rate they might not be safe driving anything but a 10 year old <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai" rel="wikipedia" title="Hyundai">Hyundai</a>, so they don't attract attention. Hell in Ten year they may have to move out of the United States to remain safe. The days of kidnapping could come back. We already see it in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=19.05,-99.3666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=19.05,-99.3666666667 (Mexico)&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Mexico">Mexico</a>.

Maybe they don't want to get shot with those guns either.<br />
Texas businesses store drugs for cartel members and ship them to our neighborhoods. Thank you Texas, but would you mind stopping, of course you would, because this is what the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.gop.com/" rel="homepage" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republicans</a> call capitalism and free trade. <br />
I would say that it might be done unwittingly, but when they back a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-trailer_truck" rel="wikipedia" title="Semi-trailer truck">tractor trailer</a> up to the guys business that is highly unlikely. Everything is bigger in Texas including the greed, which adds to the earning of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_cartel" rel="wikipedia" title="Drug cartel">drug cartels</a>. Wonder who in politics is getting their cut of that money. Next time your politician says he supports the NRA ask if gets a cut of this money.<br />

It may seem that Iowa is not typical of the Republican electorate, but I would argue that it is Indicative. Republican candidates have moved to the right of Hitler to impress the voters in Iowa. They say they support Israel, but odds are that is simply a military position not an acceptance of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews" rel="wikipedia" title="Jews">Jews</a>.

I guess the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_dissident_movement" rel="wikipedia" title="Cuban dissident movement">anti Castro</a> Cubans fall into that category rather than the run of the Hispanics that didn't swim as far as Cuba are not acceptable unless they can be control led by the people who's lawns and gardens the fix.<br />

The trend began with Rush and has become more evident with the influence of Rupert Murdock. Nothing is out of bounds to these people who see themselves as being surrounded by non white and non evangelicals.<br />
The loss is to the true Republicans who believe in the basics of the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Dream" rel="wikipedia" title="American Dream">American Dream</a>. Hard work, an opportunity to have a better life for their children, and the knowledge that this can happen for anyone in The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.history.com/topics/states" rel="historycom" title="The States">United States</a>.

During that time they could (and did) pass any law they pleased and they did. They did everything they believed would lead to a strong economy. We got a train wreck. The economy went down the toilet because greedy people were allowed to do exactly what they please. Republicans assured the public that no one would willingly destroy their own businesses and financial security. They would play by the rules because it was in their financial interest. Well bad news they were WRONG. NEGLIGENTLY WRONG!</strong><br />
<strong> People have forgotten that this economy is the result of closing your eyes and letting things happen (as Republicans still propose today). We got free trade, thanks to Newt Gingrich led us here. Then Two George Bush's watched as the economy glanced off a wall only to crash dead on into it. George Bush one was terrible for the economy and his son the idiot alcoholic borrowed us right into finacial Armageddon. Spending would have never been an issue if Bush had not borrowed us right out of our credit rating.</strong><br />
<strong> The economists were wrong and are silent now. The fact is that neither people or their govenment can borrow to buy limitlessly. This is economics 100. No one can borrow more than they can afford to pay off, but they all did. We spent three trillion dollars on Two wars and it is piling up faster than we can pay the interest, but we can't get out of the middle east. Who would equalize the power in those areas. The U.S. knows, Al Queda backed by Packistan. Soon Packistan will fall into civil war due to the opposing views of it's people's. The radical Islamists on both sides will pick up guns and begin to fight each other. This will leave nuclear weapons in peril of being distributed to finatics. Hell, Pakistani's are finatics. We have seen it time after time. We will never get out of there. </strong><br />
<strong> As the dollars we need to fix our economy get sucked out of our treasury by wars that will never end, we can't afford to do what needs to be done to create jobs. This is what Republicans don't want you to remember or think about. There is no economic growth here because buisiness doesn't need to hire people in this country to make Billions. Our jobs are now in china and india and a 100 other countries who won't or can't afford, to buy American made. Any way hardly anything they need is American made.</strong><br />
<strong> There is no prospect of a recovery. The stock market is going down and it will not come back, the price commodities like gold and oil tell us that. People who have money won't put it in stock. Banks are teetering on the edge of failure. If Europe defaults they will not be paid back for tens of millions of dollars they lent. This will lead to bankruptcy for them, which is how we got that word. Banks went broke during the great depression. They will again but now they are huge banks and that will reak havoc on people in the middle and those who are about to retire. The real economic disaster is about to take place and Europe is where that will happen and President Obama can't stop that. The fact is that even Europe can't stop it. The clock is ticking and every finacial advisor has his money some where safe, is your safe.</strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="cse-search-results"></div>

This is why ex-smokers want everyone else to quit. If the government worked this hard to keep <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_drug_trade" rel="wikipedia" title="Illegal drug trade">illegal drugs</a> off the streets we would be able to walk the streets in the city at night again.<br />
I <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_cessation" rel="wikipedia" title="Smoking cessation">quit smoking</a> because i chose to quit. I would have kept smoking if I didn't decide to. At some point cigerettes will become like any other illegal drug and people will drive down the street to the dealers to buy them. <br />
Kids are not smoking but they are getting <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotine" rel="wikipedia" title="Nicotine">nicotine</a> and using it. They buy the gum or electronic cigerrettes or probably ways I can not imagine at this point. I have heard kids say nicotine is the greatest drug and they will never stop using it. No one can legislate health or safety. People ski straight down the face of mountains. Race cars. Build planes out of parachute material. There will always be something to make illegal. The sad thing is that we are turning people into criminals because we don't like what they do. They cry is alway the children, but once they are adults they just become trash.<br />
People are spending there checks on cigerrettes and not paying for food for their kids. Yes you can push the price up to a hundred dollars a pack, but addicts can't stop, being addicted. I will always be addicted to cigerrettes, but I am not smoking even though I want to all the time. If anyone tells you different they are liar.<br />
The final part of this plan is simply to make cigerrettes illegal, but it will force it underground and create another market for illicit drug dealers. Are we prepare to add tobacco to the list of chemicals we are willing to pour billions of dollars into stoping the flow of. We can't stop <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine" rel="wikipedia" title="Cocaine">Cocaine</a> or heroin or meth right now. We tried this with alcohol and we got prohibition. We have gangs just as lethal as al cappone's in this country allready and more start every day. The prison are over filled now. They are releasing people to put other people in. It costs a a trillion dollars to pay for <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care" rel="wikipedia" title="Health care">health care</a> in the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prison" rel="wikipedia" title="Prison">prison system</a>. This is part of, what they call, the nondiscretinary spending.<br />
There are anti anything you can name groups and cigareetes are just the tip of the iceburg for people who want to control their neighbors because they can not control their anxiety and their owns circumstances without banning what they can't deal with. This started as a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_smoking" rel="wikipedia" title="Passive smoking">second hand smoke</a> issue and has become what it was the the starttt a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_ban" rel="wikipedia" title="Smoking ban">ban smoking</a> movement and all smokers know this. They try to avoid smoking around people but that is not enough. They are being pushed slowly out of sight and it will go underground and the kids that smoke now will be the addicts of tomorrow and people will be saying send them to prison if they aren't allready.<br />
Great going guys.<br />

Their <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence" rel="wikipedia" title="Violence">violent</a> nature indicates that they have a basic genetic <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instability" rel="wikipedia" title="Instability">instability</a> that makes them extremely dangerous. </strong><br />
<strong> Authorities must begin to examine the mental stability of Muslims in every walk of life because their mental problems make them prone to commit violent acts. This is the problem that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world" rel="wikipedia" title="Western world">Western Countries</a> face with people in the middle east who say they want democracy. There is just no way to know if these people are mentally stable. This is also basically at the bottom of all the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.gop.com/" rel="homepage" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republicans</a> concerns about the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" rel="wikipedia" title="President of the United States">President's</a> religion. They will not say it overtly, but they question whether the Presidents heritage makes him unstable too. Of course the President is quite healthy mentally and it is more likely that the Republicans need the mental exam due to their violent leanings.</strong><br />
<strong> One only needs to look at the case of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.myspace.com/everything/gabrielle-giffords" rel="myspace" title="Gabrielle Giffords">Gabrielle Giffords</a> to know how unstable the Republicans and their followers are. Their standard approach is to reach for a gun before they consider sitting down to talk.</strong><br />
<strong> Still the Republicans can't be blamed for wondering if Muslims are mentally ill. We have witnessed several incidences of Afghani's snapping and murdering <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa" rel="lonelyplanet" title="USA">American</a> soldiers. This type of behavior makes one wonder if there is not a defective gene at work. Perhaps they should be studied to see if they have some kind of genetic problem that makes them more likely to commit violent acts. Of course this story will probably result in some king of mass mental break down, which results in violence by Muslims around the world.</strong><br />

With every Republican president from <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/ronald_reagan" rel="rottentomatoes" title="Ronald Reagan">Reagan</a> on, the middle class has watched it's jobs disappear. Free trade sent <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Jobs" rel="wikipedia" title="American Jobs">American jobs</a> to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/japan" rel="lonelyplanet" title="Japan">Japan</a>. Then to Korea, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.chindiarising.info/" rel="homepage" title="Chindia">China and India</a>. Every job that went over seas shrank the tax base in the U.S. until the government had to borrow to pay the bills that <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax" rel="wikipedia" title="Tax">taxes</a> had once covered.<br />
The U.S. lent Billions upon Billions of dollars to other countries and forgave their debt instead of collecting the money that had been lent. Tax payer money. When the government borrows, it borrows in your name. Republicans took us above the old debt limit and raised it. Their administrations account for over 10 trillion dollars in debt. Did Republicans care about you when they spent that money? Not hardly. They gave huge corporations tax breaks and allowed them to pay 0 tax on any money that they kept outside the U.S. If a tax payer does that it is tax evasion, but corporations can do that. They gave oil companies tax breaks to drill, so gas prices would stay low. Are your gas prices low? No! Because like everything the Republicans do it became a way to make them rich. Are you driving a limo? They are. They get tax free gas. They get free gas in Washington. I laugh at people who are not rich and are Republican, because they are dumb suckers. While the people they send to Washington are getting billions from big business, they think that the million dollars there town gets is a lot. The truth is, that is just what they spend on one commercial on <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_network" rel="wikipedia" title="Television network">network TV</a>. Most Republicans are dumb ass hicks. They have no clue that the guy they sent to congress is set for life. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.house.gov/" rel="homepage" title="United States Congress">Congress</a> is a club and once you get in you get paid for life even if you screw everyone that voted for you, but Republicans have turned Congress into their own personal <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banking_in_Switzerland" rel="wikipedia" title="Banking in Switzerland">Swiss Bank accounts</a>. They can raise Billions and if they don't get elected they get to keep it. Big oil and big business make sure that they get a ton of money to keep and when they don't get reelected, then they hire them. Do you see Carl Rove living next door to you? Hardly? Now there is no money to pay the bills because no one has a job. You can't collect taxes from people without jobs. Oh and where are those jobs? They are overseas, because that is what free trade is. Sending all the jobs over seas. How many people travel from India to eat in your restaurant. Not enough I bet. No jobs means no taxes which means a huge national debt. A huge national debt with no taxes means the dollar isn't worth a dime. The things you own are only worth what someone else will pay for it. That goes for the things that you sell too. No jobs means no one to buy it. Basically that means what you thought was worth something is worthless. That gold you bought, who is going to buy it. Who can afford it? Who will be able to afford it? As the cost of ever day living goes up, people can't afford as much, so there are less people to buy it. This is what happened with houses. When no one could afford houses any more, the suckers were left holding the houses. When no one can <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_as_an_investment" rel="wikipedia" title="Gold as an investment">buy gold</a> any more the suckers will own it. Who do you have to thank for all this? The Republicans, because they put the people who could buy your stuff out of work. Hope you have a restaurant in China, because that is where the buyers are.<br />

The increase in the cost of gas will force <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa?destination_tag_id=361720" rel="lonelyplanet" title="USA">Americans</a> into bankruptcy in unprecedented numbers. Working Americans have already begun to see negative balances in their budgets, but the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_and_diesel_usage_and_pricing" rel="wikipedia" title="Gasoline and diesel usage and pricing">price of gas</a> is, without a doubt, going to rise to five dollars a gallon. The oil companies are determined to hit this bench mark and hold gasoline at that price. </strong><br />
<strong> Five dollar a gallon gasoline will result in the liquidation of retirement accounts, so that Americans can maintain their current standard of living. The price of houses will drop sharply again, when already cash strapped home owners can no longer afford to stay in their homes.<br />
The sell off of homes and stock will result in a <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_market_crash" rel="wikipedia" title="Stock market crash">stock market crash</a> that will make the crash in the twenties look like a slight dip. This will result from millions of shares going up for sale at the same time and over a prolonged period of time. The number of shares for sale will be greater than the demand for stocks and prices will plummet. The value of companies will not be able to hold the price of their stock to more than ten percent of it's value or less. The market may stabilize shortly as companies buy back their own stock, but this will be short lived. The hand writing is on the wall.</strong><br />
<strong> 2012 may not be the end of the actual world, but it will be the end of the financial world in America. Politicians will not prevent this crash because they know that the value of the dollar must be lowered, so that the U.S. can pay down the national <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt" rel="wikipedia" title="Debt">debt</a>. It is imperative that the debt be payed down so that the country can get out from under the enormous debt it has. Only massive rates of inflation will make it possible for the nation to do this. The price of gold, copper, silver, and platinum will rise, but the price of oil and homes will actually fall because it will be to expensive for average Americans. This economic Tsunami will send stocks crashing around the world and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country" rel="wikipedia" title="Country">countries</a> that depend on American business or that hold American debt will be hit especially hard. Countries such as <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/south-korea?destination_tag_id=357351" rel="lonelyplanet" title="South Korea">South Korea</a>, <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/japan?destination_tag_id=356635" rel="lonelyplanet" title="Japan">Japan</a>, and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/china?destination_tag_id=355904" rel="lonelyplanet" title="China">China</a>, will feel the crunch especially hard when the demand for the products that they export dries up. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/europe?destination_tag_id=358537" rel="lonelyplanet" title="Europe">Europe</a> will be wracked by financial ruin as tourism evaporates.</strong><br />
<strong> I predicted the recession that we entered in 2010 and I am warning you that this will dwarf it. It may be the worst economic crisis since countries began keeping economic statistics.</strong><br />

This move will commit the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child" rel="wikipedia" title="Child">children</a> of future seniors to pay for their parents medical insurance or leave them uninsured. The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.gop.com/" rel="homepage" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a> move will directly result in the death of millions of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senior_citizen" rel="wikipedia" title="Senior citizen">senior citizens</a> who's children are unable to pay the cost of medical insurance for their parents.<br />
Republicans have decided that ending senior <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care" rel="wikipedia" title="Health care">health care</a> and care for the disabled including former military personnel is better than ending huge multi billion dollar <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_break" rel="wikipedia" title="Tax break">tax break</a> for oil companies like <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.bp.com/" rel="homepage" title="BP">BP</a>. The Republicans wish to see seniors simply die and go away. They tried to pass legalized euthanasia of seniors and failed so they will now reduce the senior population by denying them medical treatment. <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veteran" rel="wikipedia" title="Veteran">Veterans</a> who receive Medicare benefits will lose their coverage in the proposal by the Republicans. The bottom line is that if you worked to build or defend this country you are now expendable.<br />
The elimination of Medicare will deny anyone who has paid into Medicare from ever collecting on it. Instead they will need to cash in their 401k's and IRAs to pay for their own health care when they retire and to pay for the health care of their parents. In a move meant to strip people of their financial independence Republicans have promised huge tax breaks to corporations and people who make over 1,000,000 dollars a year, paid for by what will be the end of the middle class in America and the end of health care for older members of their families. <br />
In addition to ending Medicare, Republicans will give the Medicare Tax to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.wikinvest.com/industry/Insurance" rel="wikinvest" title="Insurance">insurance companies</a> and allow them to decide who and what they will cover. No health care will exist for some people over the age of 55 if an insurer decides that the person is to expensive to cover. This marks the end of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt" rel="wikipedia" title="Franklin D. Roosevelt">Franklin Roosevelt</a>'s promise to take care of the people who built America. In a further move Republicans will eliminate care for the disabled including Veterans. It appears that Republicans can afford to sacrifice children in war, but can not afford to care for them when they come back injured. Veterans are a drain on the resources of the country according to Republicans and we can no longer afford to waste money on their health care.<br />

<strong> <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.gop.com/" rel="homepage" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republicans</a> have pledged to cut billions from the U.S. budget and I think that we have all heard that most of the budget can't be cut. Why? The fact is that most <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Country" rel="wikipedia" title="Country">countries</a> in the world hate the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667 (United%20States)&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="United States">United States</a>, so in order to get any kind of cooperation from most countries the U.S. has to pay them. Both Republicans and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.democrats.org/" rel="homepage" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democrats</a> know that we are paying billions of dollars, so that countries will not do things that are against our interest, or so that they will buy our products, or let our products be sold there, or to control who they allow to travel to our country. This is not a small amount of money it is 100 of billions of dollars. Add to that the billions we send to countries in weapons and humanitarian aide and the world is getting payed.</strong><br />
<strong> The U.S. government and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.house.gov/" rel="homepage" title="United States Congress">Congress</a> know that we can no longer afford to pay these countries <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billions_and_Billions%3A_Thoughts_on_Life_and_Death_at_the_Brink_of_the_Millennium" rel="wikipedia" title="Billions and Billions: Thoughts on Life and Death at the Brink of the Millennium">billions and billions</a> of dollars, but they are being blackmailed by those same countries to continue paying. Neither the Government or the Congress have the guts to say no. They don't have the guts to tell countries that if they don't buy our <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_%28economics%29" rel="wikipedia" title="Good (economics)">goods</a> we won't lat theirs into the United States. The government inability to say no to other countries has directly resulted in the flow of American jobs out of the United States.</strong><br />
<strong> Companies that are based in the U.S. need to be able to stamp made somewhere else on their products so they can export them to other countries, because U.S. goods are not welcome in most countries in the world. These companies have moved the manufacturing of products to China, India, and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=19.05,-99.3666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=19.05,-99.3666666667 (Mexico)&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Mexico">Mexico</a>, so they can stamp made in those countries on their labels. If they don't do that, they can't sell their products in other countries, because Made In America is not welcome there.</strong><br />
<strong> <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression" rel="wikipedia" title="Great Depression">The Depression</a> we are having (it's not a recession), is directly linked to the fact that ours goods aren't allowed to be made here. American workers are out of work, because only Americans can buy goods that are truly Made In America. The fact is that since Americans can't buy enough junk, we have no economy. We can't manufacture our way out of this economic Apocalypse, because most goods are not made here. Our factories are not hiring here, because nothing is made here. Goods are being shipped directly to other countries, so they don't create jobs here. All the jobs that come from warehouses and shipping American goods will never come back because they don't exist any more. What the government doesn't want to tell you is that 13,000,000 people are Shit Out of Luck if they want to work. Those jobs are gone forever and retraining programs are only a way to cover that fact up.</strong><br />

We watched this country bleed jobs overseas. Surprise there are no jobs. The tax breaks the Republicans gave them to send the jobs overseas had nothing to do with that, Right?</strong><br />
<strong> It is amazing how articulate they can be when they lie to the country. They sold us out. Free trade allowed countries to send all their products here and make them some where else. It allowed other countries to dump products on us by the ship load around the clock, but what it did not do, is make those countries buy American Made Products. They fail to mention that all last year Korea bought less than 100 American cars. How many did they sell here. Look around. How many Hyundai's and Kia's do you see on the road. This the real deal behind free trade. Jobs for them and go screw yourself to American Products. The Republicans totally support this policy. Their donors are getting rich off it, while you are getting unemployed.</strong><br />
<strong> The only thing that kept The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667 (United%20States)&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="United States">United States</a> from tanking was grow.

Now that you are trying to pay off your debt, there is no one to buy, because no other countries will let our products in. Republicans didn't see the amount of debt your house hold was in as a problem. They opposed lowering interest rates on credit cards. They still oppose that. They oppose anything that would put a dollar in your pocket. Millionaires however can get tax cuts at will. Corporations can send their money to countries where there is no <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax" rel="wikipedia" title="Income tax">income tax</a> and pay no <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax" rel="wikipedia" title="Tax">taxes</a>. Can you do that? Yes you can? That's right you can avoid paying income tax on your your money. How? Become a Corporation/ You'll need to pay a fee and get a good accountant, but you can pay no taxes on money you make outside your job.</strong><br />
<strong> Did the Republicans tell you that? Don't think so. It is a closely guarded secret. Bet your Congressman has done it and your Senator too.</strong><br />
<strong> Yes those Republicans are on your side. They are going to cut the budget. First cut. Eliminate the Department of Education. Result your kids isn't getting financial aide for college. Get your wallet out, because you are paying the full ride when they done.</strong><br />

Are Republicans Responsible?Perhaps today we have see the result of Republican hate speak. Democrat Gabrielle Gifford was gunned down in a town hall meeting. The second attack on her since Sarah Palin placed cross hairs on her district. It would seem that this was only a matter of time.<br />
Republicans have misused their right to "Freedom of Speech to create a unprecedentedly hostile atmosphere in the political scene. No matter how much they run away from their words they can not escape, at least some responsibility for the shooting of the Democratic Congresswoman. I have spoken before about the this issue in the past and I predicted that this would occur. Republicans denied that they were creating an atmosphere where people would get killed, but they continued their irresponsible attacks.<br />
It may be my opinion, but they may not have pulled the trigger, but they loaded the gun. I only hope that this will serve as a lesson to them to shut there mouths and do the business of The United States.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><div id="cse-search-results"></div>

Now the state is facing the specter of releasing criminals from prison, raising taxes, and borrowing billions of dollars. This is what privatizing gets you and it will deep six Social Security for everyone from 30 and above.<br />
The Republicans want to cut Medicare coverage. The fact is that at age 60 insurance companies don't want to keep you on their rolls. They cancel those people and Medicare is the only safety net that exist from pay out of your own pocket. At the rate medical expenses are rising only Bill Gates and a few others will have that luxury after they retire.<br />

<strong> The reason the <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_class" rel="wikipedia" title="Middle class">middle class</a> tax cut was not passed is because Republicans held the middle class tax cut hostage to the trillionaire tax cut.

That is why they have foreigners for gardeners and nannys and maid. Foreigners who don't have documentation.</strong><br />
<strong> Do you think they are going to give you a job? Didn't think so. You have been sucked in and are about to learn a hard lesson. Rich people donate to Republican campaigns and run ads for them, because they own them and they know their taxes will go down and your will go up.</strong><br />

The <a class="zem_slink" href="http://www.gop.com/" rel="homepage" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republicans</a> are going to push a social agenda that will turn retired people out on the streets. They say that they want budget cuts, but not where they will cut. Their cuts will be in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicare_%28United_States%29" rel="wikipedia" title="Medicare (United States)">Medicare</a> and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_%28United_States%29" rel="wikipedia" title="Social Security (United States)">Social Security</a>, but they will cut <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax" rel="wikipedia" title="Tax">taxes</a> for millionaires even more than Bush.</strong><br />
<strong> All the other cuts that they propose will not add up to ten billion dollars. In the mean time they want to do away with taxes for tens of millions of people as well as corporations. This will result in more borrowing than ever.</strong><br />
<strong> They voted against the defense bill to fund the troops in Afghanistan, but support continuing that war indefinitely. The support stiffer enforcement of the border, but their policies have sent millions of weapons to <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_lord" rel="wikipedia" title="Drug lord">drug lords</a> in <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=19.05,-99.3666666667&spn=10.0,10.0&q=19.05,-99.3666666667 (Mexico)&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Mexico">Mexico</a>.

<strong> They oppose abortion and <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell" rel="wikipedia" title="Stem cell">stem cell research</a>. They want to give the government more power to search people and watch them. They support profiling. If you think the government is in your business now you've seen nothing yet.</strong><br />
<strong> It's really smart to shoot yourselves in the head, because you are mad at someone else. This goes to show the lack of <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_the_United_States" rel="wikipedia" title="Education in the United States">education in the United States</a>. Even the smartest people are dumber than the dumbest senior. All because we used to get a real education in school. Passing was 75 and there were no tutors.</strong><br />
<strong> Right, now the Republicans are running around repeating what you are saying, but once they are in office, George Bush's old policies will come back to haunt you.</strong><br />

As usual it is OK for Republicans to beat people, but there would be ads on nationwide if it was a Republican. They would edit fake blood in and put it up on flicker and utube. Of course they are backed by companies that don't pay taxes. Do any Republicans pay taxes. So far there are two here in N.Y. running who don't. Wonder how many others there are.
