Meaning

From Russia with Love.

Posted in News, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on July 6, 2009 by Rob

When Barack was elected as El Presidente, I knew that Obama would take the route of pacifism. Obama adopted the ‘woe is us, and we’re sorry for all the problems in the world’ and both Republicans and Democrats agreed.

Now, Obama is in Russia trying to mend the freezing relations between Russia and the United States. Russia has stated what it does not like about America. Notably our missile defense shield and how our currency is crap. I can blame Bush for the Missile Shield, but I know its needed to insure US protection, however, the currency issue, it started with Bush and Obama is making it much worse.

During the day, Obama met with Medvedev, the president of Russia, and made some head way. Obama and Medvedev agreed to limit nuclear arsenals.  Don’t be fooled by the handshakes and smiles. This is not the only reason Obama is over there. Obama is trying to warm relations so Russia doesn’t continue questioning the US dollars dominance. Obama is very concerned with how history will remember him. Obama does not want to be the president that saw the US dollar lose it’s dominance, and because of this Obama would be willing to make any concessions to keep Russia content.

But we all know that this would not work. It didn’t work Neville and it won’t work with Obama.

Barack Obama’s Stimulus Package and how it is failing…

Posted in News, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on March 6, 2009 by Rob

Alright

It has been too long since I wrote on this blog. After a crushing defeat in the 2008 elections; the Republicans are leaderless, confused, and (most importantly) lost their way. Now we have Comrade Barack Hussein Obama as our Controller-in-Chief of the United Socialist States of America. His radical beliefs are coming out, and coming out strong. In the past few months we have passed THE LARGEST SPENDING BILL IN WORLD HISTORY, yet as good Americans we did not ask questions. We just simply followed our Messiah. Obama was promising change and hope (AKA Chope). From his campaign speeches, it sounded like the moment he would step into office. All the problems of the earthy would be fixed.

Two months later…

Something did change

Now the USA deficit has never been higher (and you liberals were complaining about Bush’s spending)

The economy is still failing, jobs are being lost at record numbers, and unemployment is at 8.1 percent. This isn’t change but more of the same, so much Obama’s campaign promise of “change we can believe in.”

Barack Obama and Wealth Reistribution

Posted in News, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , , on October 31, 2008 by Rob

We have been hearing about wealth redistribution, but how will wealth redistribution work? I will give you a very simple example.

I am driving to a restaurant to eat dinner. On my way I see a homeless man holding a sign saying “Hungry Vet, God Bless.” I would feel bad since I am about to stuff myself with food. When I get to a restaurant my waitress takes my order. She does a great job and the service is excellent. When I finish the meal, I get the bill. I tell the waitress that I am going to redistribute some wealth to help the real needy. I tell the woman that I will give her tip the homeless man because he needed it more than her. Of course the waitress would be mad, but I am being selfless. I am doing what Obama wants to do with your wealth.

Is it the right thing to do? I mean it is always good to help the poor. I try to donate my money to charities, but the question is should I rely on the government to do it for me? Does Obama think I am not capable to helping the poor or donating my money? My final question I leave you with is this. Who knows what is best for your family and your money, the Washington DC or you?

Obama for Socialism!

The best thing in life is when my statements turn into fact. I have stated before in my previous post that Barack Obama is a socialist, wait, I mean Marxist. Socialist still believe in some private ownership and competition; however, Marxist believe in personality cults (like Obama’s campaign), wealth redistribution (like Obama’s economic policy), prejudiced equality (like Obama’s domestic policy), and my personal favorite a planned economy. Obama seems to be taking notes from history’s greatest dictators and failed ideologies.

In the video above, you have Joe the plumber who said to Obama that his little business would make more then 250,000 dollars a year. Obama has said that taxes will be raised on anyone making more then 250,000 a year, so Joe the plumber’s taxes will increase. We all know Obama is an eloquent speaker. Obama with his mastery of the English language, explained to Joe the plumber about his true economic plan: “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

Spread the wealth around? Come on people. This has Marxism writing all over it! It is against our nation’s beliefs of capitalism! Our nation’s constitution encourages capitalism. Here is this man that is completely against our fundamental beliefs. The main reason why we are an economic powerhouse is because we value the free-market, yet people say that capitalism has failed us. Nothing could be further from the truth. Capitalism has never failed. The free-market will always right itself, and balance out. It is only when We the People fail to leave alone the market, does Capitalism appear to fail.

“Communism possesses a language which every people can understand – its elements are hunger, envy, and death.”- Heinrich Heine

How to avoid the 2nd Great Depression

Posted in News, Politics with tags , , , , , , , , on October 10, 2008 by Rob

What are Americans to do now? Our economy is a falling bowling ball with a lead parachute. Luckily it is rallying right now, but it is mid day and a lot can happen in the next few hours.

 The question is what can we Americans do? What does this bad economy mean for us? Well, I can tell you that I have already felt the effects.

 I used to have my own business. I was a book hunter I would find cheap books and sell them for a higher profit. Surprisingly it was good money. I was making enough money to pay the bills and also have some money to burn, yet I noticed that my profits where shrinking. I was not selling enough books, so I did what any business would do. I lowered my prices in hope that it would pick up sales, yet it did nothing to increase sales. I then offered bulk purchases, where a person could buy ten to fifty books for twenty-five dollars. That fell through too.

 I fought long and hard to keep this business live. I cut back on most of my luxuries that I was use too. In the last couple of months before the end happened. I had a Spartan existence, yet this did not stop the inventible. Finally, after fighting to keep my American dream alive, my business and I sank beneath the waves.

 Who should I blame for this failure? The economy started to go sour a few months ago and gas prices caused people to spend less. Should I blame the market/economy? I could blame President Bush and the Republicans and their wasteful spending, or the Democrats and Barack Obama and their wasteful spending. Maybe I can blame this 700billion dollar bailout for Wall Street, but I now who is really at fault. Me.

It isn’t the government’s fault, or Republicans, or the Democrats. It isn’t the free-market or Wall Street. It was my own fault. See, in a free-market like ours, ups and downs are a fact of life. I took a risk and started a business. I knew that I could fail, but I went ahead anyways. I had a dream and I went for it. I failed, but I was thankful that I did (but it did hurt). When my business went under it was an example of a free-market. I was out competed by other businesses. The other businesses had lower prices or better products, and I just couldn’t compete with that. I was upset but now I feel that I did something. I took a risk, and I failed but that doesn’t mean I’ll never try again.

The Free-Market rewards ingenuity, innovation, and hard work. The market punishes those who become to complacent, rigid, or lazy. I became lazy and complacent. I believed that my profits wouldn’t shrink, and I see how wrong I was.

You reading this post may have read my previous ones and just think I am some right wing nut job. Or as one person said: “An inarticulate spin doctor. Who is the reason why the nation is at war with itself.”

But let me give some advice how to save our economy, with no political spin. Innovate, and work hard. If you have an invention or an idea for a new business, run with it. Sure there is a chance for failure, you might lose everything, but you’ll never know unless you try. I tried and I failed miserably, yet I would start another business tomorrow if I had the capital. Remember, it was the small business owners that are the back bone for our country. It is people that decided to risk it all for one shot be their own boss. All major corporations where, at one time, just a small company that grew into a large enterprise.

Our economy will be saved by people who are willing to risk it all. The question is, are you willing to risk it all?

The New US Great Depression

USA Economy to lose 6 TRILLION DOLLARS!!!!

My View:

One just has to read this article and look at how homes are selling to see this come prediction coming true. 6 trillion is going to vanish this year! That’s 6 with twelve zeros following after it. Our economy is 13.13 trillion according to the CIA world factbook. This year we will see 6 trillion vanish from that. That is really bad news. As home prices continue to fall and the cost of living keeps going up. It is fact that our country is heading into a recession. A recession so frightening that Americans and the world have no idea how bad it is. Some people are saying that we are heading into a depression.

It is a known fact, that up 65 percent of the average American wealth are their homes. The housing bubble that ended in 2006 is starting to completely wipe out most American’s wealth. Our consumer driven economy is on the verge of total collapse.

Our business and government need to act fast, because we already are seeing the effects. Consumer confidence is at a 26 year low, business inventories are growing do to a lack of demand, price of gas is sky high, and not to mention that most of our good paying manufacturing jobs are over seas. The USA needs to do something quick, if USA goes down, China, UK, France, Russia, and the whole world crash and burn with us.
