Google Email Alert Social Security running out of money

I put into my google email alert the sentence "why is Social Security running out of money" and I could not believe all of the results I got back on that one sentence! But most of the stories about it seem to come to the same conclusion, money you pay into Social Security is being used for everything except for the reason it was created. So why don't the politicians stop talking about it going broke, by not stealing the money out of it for their own personal pork project spending.

Pelosi: Unemployment checks create jobs

Apparently 2 years of unemployment checks aren't good enough for Democrats, they'd like to keep people dependent on government forever as they are pushing a new bill to extend benefits. In desperation, Pelosi tried to plead her case on the extension and pathetically argued that unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs. Perhaps dementia is settling in, or perhaps she's just too brilliant for us mere mortals to understand her logic. But even more disturbing is the Republican quoted in the article, who bashes Pelosi while at the same time saying the GOP is for 'extending unemployment benefits' - a bizarre position for a conservative that can only be explained by The Overton Window theory.

Double Dip

The saying double dip is usually associated with asking for two scoops of ice cream, instead of just one. The news is that we may be in for a double dip recession. Well what can you expect when the top Dem leaders of this country's only answer to our economic problems is spend, spend, spend, tax, tax, tax! Why are businesses not hiring?? Because they haven't a clue on when the Dems are going to tax them out of business or out of the country. That's another reason we're losing jobs to so call out sourcing, because other people in the world don't have to play by all of the stupid rules and regulations that our government shoves down our throats!

Are you Surprised?

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer wants the federal government to spend more on border security -- at least more than it does on Mexico.

The Republican governor is slamming Washington for committing more than double the amount of funding next year to Mexico than it does to National Guard along the U.S. side of the southern border. (reported by fox news)

Are any of you out there who saw the above statement surprised by anything that comes out of Washington? I'm not! As I said in one of my past post it's a real shame when some American politicians side with another country over their own!

BIDEN

Why would anybody in their right mind, even if they were joking ask Joe Biden to lower the taxes? Obama has to be the best magician in the world by waving one hand (Biden) so you can't see what the other hand is doing. Just put a old dumb white guy as vice pres who screws up all the time, that way it take the heat off yourself. These politicians are so greedy for more money to spend that their getting ready to tax the victims of the Gulf oil spill on payments made to them by British Petroleum!

Secretary of Labor

The Secretary of Labor needs to keep her mouth shut and start doing the job she's there for. It's bad enough that the people of America are having to deal with ObamaCare, wild government spending, and just making it from paycheck to paycheck. Now we have to listen to stupid political ideas coming from idiots on Obama's staff. If the president was as smart as he thinks he is, he would put a stop to his people giving out their own personal opinions on immigration and other subjects. Come on Mr. President tell your people to just do the jobs you all were elected to do! Right now the more of your people that spout off their far left ideas, the more of a chance the voters out here will have to vote all of you idiots out of office! It is unbelievable that the politicians in the United States Government are allowed to trash talk their own countrymen (Arizona) and put another country (Mexico) as being the good guy!
