The true cost of the Porkulus Bill

The most Ethical Government ever is not as transparent as promised. Check out the true cost of what our public servants have thrust upon us.

All of the major news outlets are reporting that the stimulus bill voted out of conference committee last night has a meager $789 billion price tag. This number is pure fantasy. No one believes that the increased funding for programs the left loves like Head Start, Medicaid, COBRA, and the Earned Income Tax Credit is in anyway temporary. No Congress under control of the left will ever cut funding for these programs. So what is the true cost of the stimulus if these spending increases are made permanent?
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) asked the Congressional Budget Office to estimate the impact of permanently extending the 20 most popular provisions of the stimulus bill. What did the COB find? As you can see from the table below, the true 10 year cost of the stimulus bill $2.527 trillion in in spending with another $744 billion cost in debt servicing. Total bill for the Generational Theft Act: $3.27 Trillion.

Daschle’s revenge: health care Trojan Horse

The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.

But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”

Since when is the government qualified to make health care decisions for an individual? And how will the government deem what exactly is appropriate? And cost effective... for who? The government?

The campaign is over.... act like it!

"He reduced himself from being president of all the American people to being the partisan leader of the left," former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said of Obama's Thursday night speech. "The first month of your presidency is not a very good time to give a campaign speech."

I don't think Obama will ever stop campaigning, he seems to have an inherent need for constant backing, constant approval, constant ego stroking. He says what the people who have appropriated the power in this country(power hungry congress) want to hear, so that he comes off as the leader, the originator of the idea, the answer man, the savior. He does what feeds the immediate, short term, greedy desires of the masses (at the cost of real long term change) to buy & bribe his popularity. By the time people realize the change he talks about is a change from bad to worse, they will have forfeited their liberties, rights and freedoms.

The past is to learn from, the present is for action and the future is the result.
Don't let his tainted view of history befoul the reality of our future.

Nuke Bunker anyone?

Start building yours now...

I will slow our development of future combat systems. And I will institute an independent "Defense Priorities Board" to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending. Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material; and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert, and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals.

Ya, I'm sure Hamas, Al Qaeda, Russia & Iran will all drop their missles for a big D'Obama group hug.

Coruptocrats don't hide their distain for anyone

Conservative Groups Declare Obama's Stimulus Bill a War on Prayer

A provision in the House-passed stimulus bill -- banning money to be used to renovate schools from being spent on facilities that allow "religious worship" -- has ignited fury among those who claim it discriminates on the basis of faith and violates the right to free speech.

So, it can truely be said, the Democrats don't have (or want) a prayer.... Yet, D'Obama is assembling an interfaith gang in Washington. Why?

Pelosi..... just duh!

500 Million!?? 500Million Americans will lose their jobs each month. The total population of the USA, according to the world fact book, is currently 305.7Million. At that rate the whole world will be unemployed within 14 months. Pelosi will say anything to scare people into voting for her 'Generational Theft Act' package.
Somehow this is Bush's fault.

Crikey. Three weeks in, and this administration is a complete laughingstock. More tax troubles. More nanny problems. More withdrawals. This time it’s Obama’s Chief Performance Officer.
Yeah: Chief Performance Officer.
