HOW ABOUT 10% REDUCTION OF ALL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND THE ELIMINATION OF UNNECESSARY DEPARTMENTS?

The Executive Branch, the Legistative Branch, and the Judicial Branch have become unnecessary during the last few years. I say clean sweep and start over again.

Correct, they are not needed, because we have a king, or soon will have once the political class give absolute power to the executive, as Mitch boy is now trying to do on spending.

Both Parties have been doing it for decades. And that’s why neither Party will be critical of the theft.

Careful now.

With Obama, Democraps, and our own RINOs... that would most likely mean the elimination of the Deparment of Defense.

Which of you can help to explain Governmental accounting??

I liken it to MOB accounting or trucking accounting, or illegal accounting. There is a whole lot of accounting going on but it takes twice as long as legal accounting, because one has to have two sets of books. One set for the regulators and auditors, and another set so you know who has done what with the cash, or in the case of truckers, with the time. With all respect to truckers, who in many cases, have been driven to it (no pun intended) by the whim of government. It boils down to this, everyone knows where the cash is or what it is spent on, they just can’t tell the ones coming up with the cash, or there would be hell to pay.

Hopefully now the second set of books are open and there will now be hell to pay.

Quote seen on another forum message board:

"If the Social Security Administration takes in $45 billion a month, why won't Obama be able to pay out the $23 billion owed to Social Security recipients from the Trust Fund in August?"

Rude questions you can ask your Lefty associates & family.

Rude questions the Obama-loving media will NEVER ask...

Double the percentage in the first year and I’m on board. Although, one needs to be careful here as I believe military are government employees.

Bingo.

Some time ago I had to argue against a hardcore Leftist who sent me the following list (from MoveOn); of course, I was somehow wrong...

...but today I return the list to him, and a copy of the Obama’s quote. ‘nuff said.


(Excerpted; more details at link)

Social Security is under attack and we need to fight back against the lies.

Have you heard that Social Security is going bankrupt? Driving up the deficit? In crisis?

Well none of that is true. These are all myths that opponents of Social Security have been spreading to scare people into accepting benefit cuts this fall. But the myths are taking hold—so we have to fight back with the facts.

So we’ve put together a list of the top five myths about Social Security, along with the real story. Can you check out the list and then share it with your friends, family, and coworkers?

Share the list by going to http://pol.moveon.org/ssmyths?id=22141-1314703-FHBvhOx&t=1 ...

Top 5 Social Security Myths

Myth #1: Social Security is going broke.

Reality: There is no Social Security crisis. By 2023, Social Security will have a $4.6 trillion surplus (yes, trillion with a ‘T’). It can pay out all scheduled benefits for the next quarter-century with no changes whatsoever. ...

Myth #2: We have to raise the retirement age because people are living longer.

Reality: This is a red-herring to trick you into agreeing to benefit cuts. ...

Myth #3: Benefit cuts are the only way to fix Social Security.

Reality: Social Security doesn’t need to be fixed. ...

Myth #4: The Social Security Trust Fund has been raided and is full of IOUs

Reality: Not even close to true. The Social Security Trust Fund isn’t full of IOUs, it’s full of U.S. Treasury Bonds. ...

Myth #5: Social Security adds to the deficit

Reality: It’s not just wrong—it’s impossible! By law, Social Security’s funds are separate from the budget, and it must pay its own way. That means that Social Security can’t add one penny to the deficit.

Defeating these myths is the first step to stopping Social Security cuts. Can you share this list now?

Be Sure this gets passed on to your Military friends. I personally will be boycotting Walgreen’s. We are retired Military.

It is the beginning of the destruction of our health care system under 0’care. Docs and hospitals will be next.

Navy to Cut Jobs Amid Recession-Driven Sailor Surplus
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/07/08/navy-to-cut-jobs-amid-recession-driven-sailor-surplus/

They are going after the mid ranks just a couple of years short of retirement, not the top brass. Our Navy Base when it was a training facility had 1 admiral, now that it is a records keeping base for the entire US Navy, it has 14 admirals, 13 to many.

Vladimir Putin Calls Bernanke A Hooligan, Angry At American Money Printing !

http://www.zerohedge.com/article/vladimir-putin-says-bernanke-hooligan-angry-american-money-prining

"They are behaving like hooligans, switching on the printing press and tossing them around the whole world, forgetting their main obligations . . ."

I happen to agree with Putin on his characterization of the crooked Bernanke. Grrenspan was even worse in my opinion. But I do not agree with what Putin goes on to say in his full quote.

IMHO -- Greenspan and Bernanke are only shills for the private banking cartel that controls our monetary system and uses a massive debt system for profits to print our phony currency
