What Goes Around ... Comes Around ...

What goes around ... comes around!  An old saying everybody knows, and in some way, can relate to it.

Well, that statement can't be more appropriate to become our governments motto.  This is America's citizens motto for both our state and federal government.

Our politicians have been, for years, have been building a very substantial voter base on the backs of the tax payers.  Now look what is happening.  Chaos!  Chaos ... Both, in our state and federal governments.  I'm as furious at the Republicans as I am of the Democrats.

Democrats, you know exactly where they are coming from ... Republicans are just Democrats in sheep's clothing.  Republicans wearing sheep's disguise are accomplishing, the same exact goals as the Democrats.

A Socialists Country ... Run by a Socialist Government.  Believe it!

To prove my point ... The federal government, both Republicans and Democrats sent a federal budget to President Barack Hussein Obama and he signed this budget, with vigor.  And commented that this budget didn't effect any SOCIAL entitlement programs ... to speak of.  So everybody is happy.  Right?

However there is one thing missing in all this excitement, did anybody think of WHO is going to pay for these budget expenditures?  Well, IT'S YOU (the citizen)!

This budget is like pouring YOUR hard earned tax money down the toilet, because this budget was passed knowing that the United States of America ... will go in the hole everyday of this countries life, five billion dollars.

Let me repeat, this budget was passed knowing that the citizens of America (you and me) will be going in the hole 5,000,000,000 (five billion dollars per day, for the rest of your life, our kids life, our grandkids life and so on).  And this does not take into account the compounding interest incurred ... you know!  a geometric compounding curve.

Politicians are destroying our country ... Right before your very eyes.  Right before YOUR very eyes.

Our Congress and Our President Are Financially Taking This Country Down!

Our Congress and our President are ... financially taking this country down!  The greatest country in the world is being brought to its knees by our self-serving Congress and President.

This is just another example of spending money, rather than working on our nations budget problems.  My suggestion is to get involved before its to late.  Remember the example ... "How to boil a frog".  IT'S EASY WHEN YOU PLACE THE FROG IN A PAN OF COOL WATER WITH A BIG FLAME UNDER IT.

The DREAM Act: A Spending Nightmare The Spendocrats in office right now are attempting to tie the "DREAM Act" as an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill, and will be voting on it Today... Tuesday, September 21 at or around 2:00.   In a nutshell, the DREAM Act will allow the federal government to - again - force the American taxpayers to pony up more money we don't have in order to pay for their ideological pursuits. The DREAM Act will increase the cost of higher education for every state, but especially those with large illegal immigrant populations.  Our states are flat broke and need to reform their budgets, not spend more It forces states to give taxpayer funded financial aid to illegal immigrants It forces states to allows illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition These provisions can be utilized by illegal immigrants until the age of 35 There is ZERO accountability in place to track the money and costs There is no scoring from the Congressional Budget Office There is no estimate of the cost to the American taxpayer for the cost of the education and military benefits, or the cost of the fast track to citizenship also mandated in the bill Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and President Obama have not passed a BUDGET for FY2011 which starts in October and they want to spend more without any thought about how much this will cost you and me! From a lawmaker in California (the state with a $19 Billion shortfall!) on the potential costs: "We're spending roughly a billion dollars annually for financial aid now, so every one percent increase in that spending would translate to an additional $10 Million from the general fund." Fight back against wasteful, ideological spending that violates all of our principles: fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets. These Senators are CORUPT, POLITICIANS. SENATORS WHO ARE CO-SPONSORING THE DREAM ACT Once you have done what you can with phone calls to the Senators on the lists above, you should look through this list to see which Senators are focusing more on their ideological pet projects rather than the economy and jobs. You can reach these through the Switchboard at 202-224-3121 or in our Congress directory (I apologize that this directory is loading sluggishly today). Give special attention to Boxer, Gillibrand, Lincoln and Mikulski, all of whom are running for re-election in November.

The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire ... Sorry, I Mean The United States of America

The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire ... Sorry, I Mean The Rise and Fall of "The United States of America"

History repeats itself just give it time.  I'm so sorry that I didn't believe in studying history because I felt that history 'Was the past' and that was like 'Water under the bridge' and there was nothing I could do about it.  I WAS WRONG!  At least if I had studied history I would have seen today's financial and political disaster comming.

You really need to read this article that was written in 1990 by Lawrence W. Reed.  He enlightens you to the correlation between the Great Roman Empire and the Great United States of America.

My conclusion is to send as many people this article by email as you can ... maybe we will find enough people out there in this country that will want to STOP TODAYS POLITICAL MADNESS!  "Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it."

The United States and the Roman Empire
by Lawrence W. Reed

Nearly four decades before the birth of Christ, the Roman orator Cicero offered this sound advice: "The budget should be balanced, public debt should be reduced, the treasury should be rebuilt, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall."

Well, the Romans didn't take his advice and guess what? Rome fell.

At nearly $3 trillion, our government's "national debt" represents an ominous recurrence of just what Cicero warned twenty centuries ago. If figures that large mean little to you, let's put it another way. If the national debt were in $1 bills, it would stack almost to the moon, fill 282,730 dump trucks, weigh as much as 2.14 million Oldsmobile Cutlasses, or buy enough food to feed the current population of Los Angeles for 978 years.

Government in ancient Rome grew to mammoth size for some of the same reasons ours has. The philosopher George Santayana may have had that in mind when he said, "Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it." Consider the following:
Long before Christ, a Roman politician named Clodius was elected to public office on a platform of "free wheat for the masses." When Julius Caesar came to power, he found 320,000 persons in Rome — a city of 1 million — on government grain relief.

Emperor Nero once declared, "Let us tax and tax again. Let us see to it that no one owns anything!" He may also have been the architect of the first urban-renewal program. He burnt a large portion of Rome to make way for a number of construction projects.

A few years later, another emperor dabbled in farm policy. To reduce production and raise the price of wine, he ordered the destruction of half of the vineyards in Rome's provinces.
The ancient government assumed the responsibility of providing the people with publicly funded entertainment and arts programs. One historian estimates the modem equivalent of $100 million a year was poured out in circuses and gladiator duels alone.

Welfare statists loved it in A.D. 274 when Emperor Aurelian made the right to relief hereditary and boosted welfare benefits considerably.
Businesses were pulverized under a burden of public hostility and excessive taxation and regulation. The masses demanded their handouts and the most productive in Roman society were made to cough up. Some of them, thinking they were buying time, actually supported those politicians and funded those institutions which were dedicated to their very destruction. What was left of their businesses was eventually confiscated and nationalized.

City administrations within the empire spent themselves silly and, beginning with the emperor Hadrian, were bailed out through a kind of "federal revenue sharing," with lots of strings attached. (After all, he who pays the piper sooner or later calls the tune.)
Spending to satisfy special interests and a soaring debt prompted the government to debauch the national currency. It imposed wage and price controls, seized the people's gold holdings, took the silver out of the coinage and manufactured junk money like there was no tomorrow. And for Rome, there wasn't.

The great empire expired in A.D. 476. It fell like a ripe plum to foreign enemies. When the barbarians walked into the city, many Romans actually welcomed them in the belief that anything was better than the tyranny of their own tax collectors and regulators.

It has been said that many civilizations have run their course by this pattern: From bondage to individualism to great courage to liberty to abundance, then from abundance to complacency to apathy to dependency and finally back to bondage again.

More to the point, what is called "Kershner's First Law" sums up what happened to Rome pretty well: "When a self-governing people confer upon their government the power to take from some and give to others, the process will not stop until the last bone of the last taxpayer is picked bare."
Are we going to continue letting it happen here?
