Obama never gave to charity so now he wants to end the deduction

Barack Obamma's record of charitable giving has been pitiful .His idea of helping people is to take the money out of your pocket and give it to someone else. His own generosity is laughable. But now he wants to hurt all of us who have supported the various non-profit organizations by curtailing or eliminating the charitable deduction.

It's bad enough that he wants to spend billions of dollars that we do not have, saddle our children with insurmountable debt, and bankrupt the few viable industries we have left. Now he wants to destroy the charities and make everyone dependent on government.

Frankly I cannot see the nation putting up with this stupidity for four years. But then again wait it is about hope and change.

Who cares that the Congress passed a 7000,000 billion dollar spending bill without even reading it.
Can someone say "malpractice," "malfeasance," and "stupidity"?
Or am I the only person to see through this charade? No, of course i am not.. There are millions of people shaking their heads and asking why.

Those in Congress had better put the brakes on this madness.

As for those who voted for him, shame on you.

Exercising Economic Common Sense

Barack Obama and his supporters claim that the November elections were about hope and change.

The American people were duped into believing this because the media was in the tank for him. Now a mere two and one half weeks into his administration, serious people are asking if he is in over his head.

Although he promised a government without the fingerprints of lobbyists, the truth is that most of his appointments are either Clintonistas who made their fortunes as lobbyists or former senators turned multi-million dollar moguls.

Charles Krauthammer said it best in his latest post.
all we can hope is that the Senate Republicans hold firm and oppose all of this nonsense.

After all, when someone wants you to sign something without reading it, or before reading it, the best advice is to NOT sign it, run away and run away fast.

Well the same thing applies here.

The American people are being told that if we do not act, it will be a catastrophe. I'm not so sure that spending a zillion dollars of our children's money is a good idea. seems awful shortsighted to me.

Seems we ought to be looking for ways to sell American goods and services to those who can pay for it, and to cut back on wasteful spending while we retool for the 21st Century.
Seems that we ought to become energy independent so we are not sending those hard earned dollars overseas to finance countries and regimes who do not think highly of us.
Seems as if we should shrink government so it does not compete with the private sector for investment dollars.

But then all of this is just old fashioned economic common sense.

And there is none of that in Washington, D.C. not now, not yesterday, and I dare say not tomorrow - unless we, the people clean house. The problem though with "we the people, " is that a lot of the people want the hand out, not the hand up. And I am not talking about the poor. I am talking about all of those companies looking for federal gran rs, government projects, and sweetheart deals.

That's all for now.
