A sobering look at how Obamanomics is playing out. There's a hint of liberal in his points, but only a hint. The rest might as well have come from here.

What we need is the dissolution of a federal agency and the punishment of its employees.

I'd nominate Education Department as the target but they don't have enough field offices. Instead let's do EPA. They have a lot of folks all over the place.

Just send out the US Marshalls to corral them then send them out for appropriate mob punishment.

Not sure how you'd advertise this ~ but that'd be the basic outline.

Although this wouldn't do much of anything I'm sure folks could feel good about it.

Why, so Americans can re-enact the French Revolution?

Getting high feels good too.

The problem is when the high wears off.

What we are seeing is the final stages of the Marxist plan to destroy the world's only free enterprise system. We can stop it. But it won't be easy.

I'm not sure we have the courage or the energy that the liberals pushing this agenda have.

I'm not sure the majority of our neighbors actually take this seriously.

I'd be that if you found 50 people in your community who said they take the items on the list above very seriously and there was an upcoming meeting to address the concerns, less than ten (maybe less than five) of them would bother to show up.

meanwhile we are seeing our country taken by proponents of everything from ObamaCare to Agenda 21 and while we gripe at BBQs or send emails to each other, the liberal Marxists are busy, busy, BUSY!

There's a lot of liberal in it. A lot of scarcity mentality. A lot of victim mentality.

One or two decent points. But overall an example of the mentality nobody needs to acquire int tough times.

Reading this will make everybody slightly dumber. Taking it any of it to heart will make you just a slightly bigger loser than you may already be.

What we need to do is address the things that make we the people unable to hold government accountable BETWEEN ELECTIONS.

For instance, we need a way to make it so that the people have a way to bypass political law enforcement appointees in order to charge any government official with crimes - in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. US Supreme Court justices need to be held to the same laws and ethics requirements as any other attorney or judge. (The honor system has totally, absolutely, and in every other way FAILED).

We need laws that specifically grant legal standing to any US (or state, for state laws) citizen to sue for the enforcement of that law, including the US Constitution - since the rule of law IS the business of us all.

We need the right to sue (and/or prosecute for violating the Federal General False Statement Act) any media company or government official which refuses to correct provably false statements on issues involved in government policy-making. Congress-critters should not be exempt from libel laws and the Federal General False Statement Act.

Regulators should be required to cite the provision in the Constitution which authorizes any regulation they make. Any US citizen should be granted legal standing to sue over the Constitutionality of any regulation. The Tenth Amendment should mean what it says.

Any US citizen should have legal standing to challenge the Constitutionality of any executive order of the President or of any of his/her appointed “czars”.

Right now people pretty much know that the system ties their hands behind their backs. Once a politician is elected they are free to break laws while their buddies cover their behinds. They are all “untouchable” by the normal people like you or me.

I think we’d all pretty much like to ship them all to a deserted island and pay them a modest salary just to leave us alone. Not being able to do that, I think people mentally boycott the government - cynically roll their eyes at the intevitability of crooks in office and a broken system that has no way of being fixed.

If we had even one instance where a massive public outcry made any difference it could help people believe that effort is not futile. Unfortunately, we’ve had massive outcries by the people - phone lines burned up from public response, huge majorities in polls, and the largest electoral landslide in our history - and it has made little to no difference on any real policy.

Still, when we run out of EPA employees we can dig into the vast overburden of EPA “groupies” and GOREBOTS!

>> Although this wouldn’t do much of anything

I’m guessing your post is tongue-in-cheek. Nevertheless — an immediate and thorough purge of the EPA and a change in its directions and mandate would do MORE to get the economy going than any other government action of similar scale and cost that I can think of.

And we don’t even have to exile or kill the EPA employees we purge.

We should, however, brand them on the forehead with “EPA Whore” so no one will ever hire them. (j/k)

Agreed. The article is very poorly written.

From your lips to GOD's ears! Our politicians have managed to shield themselves from the law and from any liability associated with ignoring it.

If your vision were to come to pass the first investigation and trial I'd like to see would be to go through the files of every living member who has served and voted on legislation to use funding taken under the guise of social security for general fund projects and programs (vote purchases).

The Dept. of Education has 7,000 employees and a budget of $38 Billion. Why?
