I was driving home and listening to C-Span and they were talking about heath care and reform. Also discussed was  the Medicare Part D, prescription drug plans. I am in that plan and medicare also. Callers talked about the pros  and cons of these plans. Politicians and lobbyists were mentioned. And how much these leeches earn.  Also discussed in another segment was how politicians take our  money and give it to their buddies,  like how Harry Reid gave Mary Landrieu  $300 million. 
And for some reason I thought about Dire Straits and their hit Money for Nothing.
 Please read the lyrics and you will see how the words can be applied to our friends in Washington, politicians and lobbyists et al.  I made bold the words that add clarity to my analogy.


Below are the lyrics of Money for Nothing - I took out the verses that repeat.


 Now look at them yo-yo's, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and your chicks for free

Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it
Let me tell you them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Baby get a blister on your thumb

We got to install microwave ovens
Custom kitchen deliveries
We got to move these refrigerators
We got to move these colour T.V.'s

The little faggot with the earring and the makeup
Yeah buddy, that's his own hair
That little faggot got his own jet airplane
That little faggot he's a millionaire

Look at that, look at that
I should have learned to play the guitar
I should have learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she got it sticking in the camera
Man we can have some
And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises?
Banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh, that ain't working, that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothing get your chicks for free

Listen here
Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That ain't working, that's the way you do it
Money for nothing and your chicks for free
Money for nothing and chicks for free

Get your money for nothing, get your chicks for free
Money for nothing, chicks for free
Look at that, look at that
Get your money for nothing, get your chicks for free (I want my, I want my, I want my M.T.V.)
Money for nothing and chicks for free
Easy, easy

That ain't working  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New War Tax for the Wealthy and Probably the Rest of Us

"Rep. David Obey, a Wisconsin Democrat and the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, is the latest lawmaker to call for a new tax aimed at the rich to pay for a troop increase in Afghanistan."

 The additional tax  would apply to those making more than $200,000 or $250,000. But don't hold your breath, we all will be next.  More taxes, are coming.  And this weak administration, continues to blame Bush.
   
White House Budget Director Peter Orszag has estimated that each additional soldier in Afghanistan could cost $1 million, for a total that could reach $40 billion if 40,000 more troops are added.
This cannot be right, just more legal stealing by the government.  Trying to get money they do not deserve.

If you have a job, just send in your pay check  to the IRS, they get most of it already. Then give away what you own, and go on welfare.  You'll get free heath care, now, not in 2012.  Free food stamps. Free clothes for kids, and maybe day care. Maybe  Federal subsidized apartment payments. You may qualify for your local utility to pay for some of your electricity and heat.  Contact ACORN, they know more tricks than I do.

Obama and the Congress can cut spending, but no,  they want to tax the rich.  I  guess its  easier for them.

But there will be a price to pay. This move could cost Obama his next election.
  
Washington officials do not always pay their taxes.

 But they have the gall to ask us to pay an additional tax.  What an outrage.

Almost Tax Time Again

Its almost tax time again. Wonder how many in Washington will have problems again?

Obama: People Could Lose Confidence and Lead to a Double-dip Recession

 While President Obama was in China he made these points:

_____________________________________________________________________________
 In an interview with Fox News:
"The United States' climbing national debt could drag the country into a "double-dip recession," President Obama warned in an interview with Fox News Wednesday from China, though he said he's still considering additional tax incentives for businesses to reverse the rising unemployment rate. "

"I think it is important, though, to recognize if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that at some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession."

"people could lose confidence"?

People have lost confidence in YOU and your administration, and your White House has not helped.

Now you are worried about confidence.  Your initiatives are all expensive.  You said Health Care reform must be deficit neutral. Is it?  Another Obama  mess.
And there is  the Obama administration’s phony stimulus claims.  The Washington Examiner has  set up an interactive map that documents instances of government exaggeration-- or lies --over how many jobs were “created or saved” by the $787 billion stimulus package.

 There is no excuse for this nonsense.  Obama is surrounded by economists and experts.  VP Biden has his own economist.  Just can't get the numbers right. They are only good at excuses.

Your campaign promises are off base too.  Too much smoke and mirrors. Distortions. 

I posted a while back and told you then that you are not in Chicago.  You are in DC, and many are watching, watching you all the time.  Non stop watching. You may be the President, but there are people out there that are going to make you "pay" politically for every mistake you make. And you make them everyday.

Why Are So Many Small Kids Murdered? American Genocide

SANFORD, N.C. — "Authorities in North Carolina say they have found the body of a 5-year-old girl who disappeared a week ago.

Searchers found the body of Shaniya Davis off a road southeast of Sanford in the central part of the state.

Two people have been charged in Shaniya's disappearance, including her 25-year-old mother, Antoinette Davis. Police have charged Davis with human trafficking and felony child abuse, saying Shaniya was offered for prostitution. Davis is due in court Monday afternoon.Authorities have also charged 29-year old Mario Andrette McNeill, who was seen in surveillance footage carrying Shaniya at a Sanford hotel.
Shaniya's mother reported her missing last Tuesday."

 Please look at this beautiful child.  She is gone now. A little life taken away, taken from us. That should not happen but it does all too often. She will not grow up and have a life.  Her life has been taken. She is gone now.
She will not laugh anymore.  Or cry anymore.  No more play time. She is gone now.

This hurts  to write about  this child,  who just had a start on life, and then her life was ended.  I do not understand why small kids are killed and abused so terribly.  Just makes no sense. 

Still think the death penalty for murder is not right?  I hope justice comes quickly for this little girl.
