OMG—Obama
Must Go!
On
Townhall.com you can find the following “true but hard to believe” reports
today.
Obama is going to introduce new Title IX
regulations to limit the number of men who can take science, technology,
engineering and math classes. Because
men often take science and math careers, they are in higher demand and women
make average lower wages. My jaw hit the
floor when I read this. Physicists and
Engineers continue to be 80% male just as when I graduated. So The American Dream of becoming what you
want to be will soon be no longer possible. Mommas don’t let your baby boys
grow up to be rocket scientists. Find

Obama has removed the work requirement that
is the key to the welfare reform passed by Congress under Clinton. So we are back to generation after generation
on welfare. Able-bodied welfare
recipients won’t eventually have to find work. Find this at http://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis
Obama’s Justice Department censors (or
demands) what reporters may quote from public briefings. This was proclaimed
this week. http://townhall.com/katiepavlich
Now just ponder the meaning of such events. These latest decrees only add to an long list
of times the administration simply “discovered” a new interpretation to an old
law or disregarded what is considered normal practice, or declined to obey some
law—just so they could make up a new policy by executive fiat. They called Romney a felon, but what shall we
call Obama? The reign of Mussolini comes
to mind. A popular prime minister in
1922 when he was elected, Benito began to have little patience with the
constraint of law, and gradually began to assume the role of dictator in the
1930’s. Jefferson would surely have called this a tyrant. (Didn’t we fight a
war against this?)
Okay look at another issue, the national
debt. In 1980 the median household
income was $37,000. For 2012 it is
$45,000. So we have gained, but not in
constant dollars. Since 2007, income has
actually decreased. Now look at the
following chart.
Year debt
per person
1980 $11,000
1992 $23,000
2000 $22,000
2006 $24,000
2012 $51,000
So
while our real incomes have not risen, our debt per person has nearly
quintupled. A Democrat would say that
Reagan really increased the debt, that Clinton reduced it. Don’t take me for a fool! It correlates perfectly with Congresses. Dems and Tip O’Neill were in charge of
congress through 1994, more than doubling the debt. It went down from 1994 to 2000 because of the
Republican congress and balanced budgets.
2000-2002 the Senate was D and House was R. Then from 2002-2006 both houses were R. Debt
swelled but not by much. 2006 the Dems
took over again and look what happened.
Here’s the big problem. Spain has a median income of about $25,000
compared with USA at $45,000. But their
debt per person is $19,000. Ours is
almost triple that amount. Spain now has 25% unemployment, riots by government
workers facing pay cuts of about 10% in order to bring the budget into balance,
and interest rates over 10% because the international lenders don’t have
confidence in the country. Why would our
situation escape this? So what would
Jefferson say?
"It
is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle
which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."-- Thomas Jefferson
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can
prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense
of taking care of them." -- Thomas Jefferson
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad
government results from too much government." -- Thomas Jefferson
“We need a Republican Senate in the worst way.” – Grant Me
Freedom
