Where Do You Plan To Spend The Money

When you become elected to office, one of the many things that will need to be done is creating a budget.  Take a good look at the Federal proposed budget for 2012, found at the link below:

Now ask your self this little question:

From where is the money coming from, and how does your community going to pay the bill?

One of the many things that the people in elected office do, is to make the error that free speech triumphs the liberty of others.  Persons who abuse the US Constitution to behave badly while spouting bigotry always scream "free speech".

There is no such Constitutional grantee, simply put, the US constitution does not guarantee that one can spout whatever one wants.

As a holder of public office ask yourself this question, under what circumstances would you allow the right of others to be trampled on by the many, or the few?

The Pain of Non-Enforcement

When one holds an elected office in a town (or city) in the United States, one pledges (or promises) to uphold the United States Constitution, the state Constitution, County Laws, and local laws.

If one lets a bunch of squatters do, what one does not allow others to do, then one should be prepared for the concupiscence's. For example:

  • buildings being set alight
  • rape
  • robbery
  • etc.


How different would the Occupy thing have gone, if they were required to obey the laws that one forces everyone else to obey?

The lesson here is profound, do not enforce the law, and have a lawless society, or enforce the law and have a civil one.

If one does not like a given law, then change it, caused it to be changed, remove the law, or enforced the thing.

That's how we see it.

Go to the link below, take a look at the taxation section, looks like we need to do this again. But wait, Reid will never go for it.

By The Way, Liberal Democrats said this would not work when Ron Reagan did the very same thing. But history has proven them all wrong.

At one time this was such a forward looking company, invneting all sorts of cool stuff.

Tek did not respond to inquiries seeking details of the cuts.

Looks like they do not qualify for any stimulus money.  I guess the powers that be have a dim view of the working  person, Which is odd because without taxes, on land and payroll (in Oregon) they have zero income.  Very odd indeed.

The Non Stimulus Effect – Moving Slightly Forward

The state of Oregon has issued a map, which is linked to the data of what counties are receiving Federal stimulus monies. If you notice the counties with the largest liberal voting blocks are receiving the most money. The counties that are more conservative politically are receiving less.

http://www.oregon.gov/recovery/StimulusReporting/index.shtml

And then there is Tri-Met, also receiving Federal stimulus money, making the deceleration that the money that they receive will be used to install heated switches, repair worn-out track, upgrade the roadbed that the track sits on. Using existing vendors, which means that, with an unemployment rate greater than ten percent, no one without a job already will get a new one.

So much for the word stimulus, in point of fact this is just business as usual, because Tri-Met plans to lay off some drivers and curtail service. So as you can see our original thesis is correct. The Federal government is going head over heals in debt and the alleged stimulus is having zero effect.
