Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

After first nationalizing Chrysler and Government Motors, the Obama Administration has announced plans to nationalize GMAC taxpayers will provide another $3.8 Billion Dollars to the troubled auto lender.

One can always hope—which is maybe just wishful thinking?

On the 19 November, I wrote here that Government Motors announced plans to repay their bailout back with taxpayers money.

Will Democrat-Socialists continue to ignore the polls that a majority of Americans oppose ObamaCare and vote this year for the $2.5 Trillion Dollar health care bill?

Obama: We Cant Continue Treating Tax Dollars Like “Monopoly Money”

Monday, December 21st, 2009

Barack Obama says, “In the long run we can’t continue to spend as if deficits don’t have consequences, as if waste doesn’t matter, as if the hard earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like monopoly money, that we’ve seen time and time again, Washington has become more concerned about the next election than the next generation.” Video here Via Real Clear Politics

Obama doesn’t mean it—last week Obama signed into law a $1.1 Trillion Dollar Spending bill containing over 5,000 earmarks and just today Obama praised Democrat-Socialists in the Senate for overcoming the health care filibuster efforts which is expected to cost the taxpayers at least $1.8 Trillion Dollars during the first 10 years.

Last month I wrote here that Obama Quadruples Federal Budget Deficit which is on an unsustainable path because the federal debt will continue to grow much faster than the economy over the long run.

National Debt in Excess of Debt Limit

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Obama Grades Himself

While President Obama may believe that he deserves a B+ for his first year in office and an A- should Democrat Socialists in Congress send him legislation which nationalizes health care, continued unrestrained federal spending is bankrupting our country. Obama deserves nothing but a failing grade for his handling of the economy during his first year as President.

ObamaCare is projected to cost taxpayers by some estimates $2.5 Trillion Dollars adding to a ballooning budget deficit.

Today the Treasury Department announced that the national debt now exceeds the national debt limit, last raised by Congress in February to fund Obama’s failed Economic Stimulus.

On the 07 December, I wrote here that Obama’s Redistribution of Wealth have cost the taxpayers $246,436.00 per created job,  definitely not a very good expenditure of taxpayers money.

In August, most American wanted unused Stimulus Money returned to the Treasury but Democrat-Socialists in Congress, who are spending money like a drunken sailor, have chosen to ignore their constituents.

Remember when Candidate Obama, promised us that he would Restore Fiscal Discipline if elected President.
