Cash for Clunkers,
Stimulus Package,
Gov’t takeover of GM,
Universal Healthcare,

When are people going to wake up and smell the socialism? Every one of these has just been another elaborate way of redistributing the wealth.

Gee, is that how much postage stamps cost??? Cuz my Congressman, Joe Sestak told me it wouldn’t cost anymore than a postage stamp per month. Yep, by golly, he sure did.

What a liar.

It will put a ton of small and medium and maybe large companies out of business. More Job loss, more recession into great Great depression.

These people are either stupid or heartless.

Yeah, and Boston’s Big Dig was only going to cost $2.5 billion. (Up around $22 billion in actual costs now).

Why anyone would take this administration’s numbers seriously is a great mystery. We don’t need numbers from a guy who most likely cannot even read a balance sheet, and who talks about profit/earnings ratios.

I worked all of my life for everything I have.

I retired at 53, I am now 60, and if these traitors keep this national theft up, I could find myself competing for a job at Walmart for a greater position.

This insanity MUST stop, by whatever means necessary.

But...but...Democrats in Congress told me it would be no more than a “postage stamp a day.”

They wouldn’t lie, owuld they? Or were they talking about a $5 postage stamp?

Obama and his administration intend to change America fundamentaly.

We are in a world of hurt and they have just begun.

His security force,

immigration,

returning to having the so called ‘fairness doctrine’, for daily conservative commentators,

Cap and Trade

health care (cutbacks on Medicare)

HIGHER TAXES

redistribution process (of assets/monies)

One World government

Paying world taxes to the UN

and so it goes...

If he is not squashed by our legislative processes ... we are in a world of hurt.

PRAY God to help America.

Too bad the MSM won’t be reporting this though the word will still get out. I would like to see those House Democrats who voted for cap and tax now explain to their constituents how burdening them with the equivalent of a 15% tax hike is such a good thing.

Let’s see, approximately $3000 a year for familes making $35,000 a year when the Bush tax cuts expire in 2010, another $1,761 a year for Cap and Tax, 13% of your income for the Senate heathcare reform ($4550 if making $35K), on top of unknown hike in income tax that I’m sure is coming! I sure hope those families making $35K a year can afford the $5K a year out of their pockets especially after the food prices jump because of water rations in CA!

Not to mention the inflation that inevitably must follow the printing of fiat money by the Obama administration.

Don’t look now, but inflation is lurking just down the road.

Liars.

The cascading ripples from higher energy costs will ensure far more than a couple of thou per fam per year.

My guess is 3 time that. I don't think they figured in the fact that everything will cost more. Milk, eggs, bread, cheese, refrigerators, Cars. Doctors, lawyers and bankers will need to charge more too. Just bad news all around.
