This one is going to require two real life examples, (stories,) a short video, and some laughter. Our President has announced his plan to attack our mounting debt crisis, and surprise, it is the same plan that he unveiled the last two years. that’s right, he is going to freeze discretionary spending. Freezing spending means something different to politicians than it does the rest of us. To you and me, people who probably live on a real budget which means not spending money we do not have, spending freeze means to stop spending money. To a politician, people who live in an alternate reality with pretend limits that can be magicked away, spending freeze means only that you will give a half assed effort to not spend more than you did last year. How did the main stream media react? Story number one should give you a hint.
When I was in my teen high school years, I went with my high school theater group to New York. That is where I learned a new word. A game of Three Card Monty was going on in Times Square. It looked easy to us naive kids from West Virginia. There was a guy who was able to guess the location of the queen every time. They were really raking in the cash. How on Earth could the fool running the game afford to keep playing like that? The word of course was shill. When my friend Jay, plopped down his Hundred Dollar Bill, and exclaimed, “That’s easy,” wouldn’t you know the result was somewhat different. At the time, a hundred bucks was a lot of money. That is how our media reacted. They failed to notice that this plan is not new, but tried and failed on numerous occasions already. They also failed to notice that we have already learned that it is a gimmick. The alphabet media is actively shilling for President Obama, like they have since his nomination speech in 2004.
In his speech, President Obama exclaimed that his plan would save us taxpayers $400 Billion over the next 10 years, I can sense you giggling out there, and all I can say, I would join you if I weren’t so scared that someone this clueless now holds the most powerful position in the world. Story number two coming up here. During the days I was still married to the first Mrs. Flyovercountry, I would come home from work, and I would meet Mrs. Flyovercountry at the door to our home with her toting several shopping bags from the mall. I would look at the bags of merchandise and think, rats, we are mounting up debt. Seeing the look on my face, Mrs. Flyovercountry would say, guess how much money I saved us today. “All of this stuff was on sale, I saved us 40%. ” Each and every bit of it was purchased using those wonderful in house credit cards so easily given at the counter of the up-scale department stores. They even gave her a gift for opening the account. I immediately demanded a spending freeze, which meant cutting up the cards, returning the junk, and her getting a job. Spending freeze did not mean, next year pooky try to only spend what you spent this year, regardless of the fact that we could not afford it.
In the two years since Obama has taken office, discretionary spending has increased 84%. That, and we have instituted a brand new entitlement program which will dwarf all other such programs in the wildest dreams of Karl Marx himself. President Obama has included no fewer than 15 hidden taxes in this new budget to go along with the 11 new taxes in the behemoth new entitlement program, while telling us all with a straight face that he has lowered our tax burden before the Superbowl. Is nothing sacred? Ordinarily, I am not one to panic about deficits and budgets. Both political parties use them when convenient to bludgeon the other during elections. The best way, usually to solve a budget crisis is to grow the economy out of the problem. As the business environment allows new businesses to grow, incomes and revenues rise and the budget crisis is solved. This current crisis is different though. I am fully panicked. President Obama has instituted policies which will destroy the business environment, prevent any sustainable growth, and in fact has used Executive Regulation to wage a war against the Private Sector. On our current path, with the laughable spending freeze, we as a nation will be insolvent by 2021. Every year that Barak Obama remains President, this gets worse. I would laugh if it weren’t so scary. As promised, a video to give perspective to the whole freeze thing.
Bear in mind, this video is a year old. That is because, this laughable idea is nothing new, nor newly stated by our President. We need actual leadership now, and not another gimmick. Call your Congress Critters and let them know that you expect them to actually cut this nonsense out. Vote these imbeciles out if they don’t get it, and soon. Please, save your protest votes for after this current crisis has been averted.

UPDATE: This is what true leadership looks like. Paul Ryan, (R) Wisconsin is truly a rising star for the GOP. Give Boehner credit on this one, he is letting Cantor and Ryan run with the long overdue entitlement reform.

Hey, Obama’s going to save us $1.1 trillion by putting us another $13 trillion in debt.
Only a raaaaacist couldn’t see the logic in that…
//
Freezing spending freezes spending at an unsustainable level. Look at the graph here. We’re fucked unless we cut spending drastically. Look at the way the two lines spread. That is debt that we can never pay off. We can’t even pay the interest on it. We are bankrupt. We never would actually get to the end of the graph, because other nations would stop lending us money. That will happen. And I don’t see the Republicans being able to turn it back. The Democrats want to bankrupt America. They can see all of these same figures. They know the score. They are doing what they want to. They are selling it to the masses differently, of course, but the Average American can’t balance his own checkbook. They can’t look at this and see the face of Doom that is so clearly written thereon.
I predict that that senator who yelled at Obungler, You Lie, at the previous SOTU address is going to be seen as something of a prophet…
Obama broke the bank the last 2 years and now wants to freeze “additional” spending? I think that is alot like the guy who kills his parents and then throws himself on the sympathies of the Court because he is an orphan.

It appears that the waivers are being granted on the grounds that the grantee states have programs which “conform” to the Obamacare requirements. Thus, this would mean that Florida is not affected by Obamacare, because it is not a party at interest, and therefore not a legitimate plaintiff—so the ruling in favor of that plaintiff which found the law unconstitutional would be moot.
Of course, the waiver is only for one year—just long enough to scuttle the lawsuit—after which the hungry Obamacare bear would come growling right back out of the cave.

On most torrent sites, no “official” recordings are allowed – this particular site allows for you to “report” the torrent as “non-trade friendly.”
I don’t deal with “pirated” sites, and almost all of the live music that is traded is either audience recordings or soundboards released by the artist(s).
We try and keep the respect.
Sites like archive.org actually require the artists to give releases before any of their material is made available.
I actually think that it HELPS the smaller artists gain some exposure to an audience who will eventually purchase the work of an artist that they otherwise would never have heard of.

If the GOP leadership had an ounce of brains they would make a single proposal to cut every program by 5% and make the Demonrats™ defend every program. Does anyone really believe that there is one government program that can’t find 5% to cut in just waste?

Here too…

Because most of the civil war was fought on the east coast and in recent history the North here in the east hates the Military so we have very few bases. The South inherited the Military, and being proud of their heritage named the bases and streets accordingly. To the victor goes the spoils.
New most frightening and painful joke about America…

John Engler did this while Governor of Michigan. It was extremely successful. He saved the State from insolvency during the late 80′s and early 90′s. Not a single welfare recipient lost benefits either. He didn’t use gimmicks, or stop growth etc. He said every department gets 10% less dollars to spend this year than last. Anyone asking for more funds in October because they blew their whole budget by then, won’t get any. Some called his bluff, and lost. The following year, Engler repeated the policy. Guess what, fat was found to trim. The State employees hated him to be sure, but they were the only ones.

That’s from last year, a friend sent that to me a while back. It’s only parts of Minneapolis that is having that problem. Think of Keith Ellison (DFL-MN) of the 5th CD. Minnesota “Nice” is only when someone is watching us dountchaknow…

The point isn’t the size of the cut, but making the Demonrats™ defend every or most of their beloved programs. Change the fight, make them fight on the battleground we pick for a change and see how they like it…
