Today, the conservative media reported on an interesting story. The Department of Defense spent over $100,000 for a seminar. The topic of the seminar? Did Jesus also die for the Klingons?
As nutty as that sounds, there is a serious question that seminar raises and it has nothing to do with Klingons.
What is it?
The government is riddled with fraud; waste and spending that can only be described as mind blowingly stupid!
Every year we hear budget cuts discussed. But here is the dirty truth that even Republicans do not want to acknowledge. Spending cuts are never cuts. They are simply reductions in the amount the budget is increased.
When we hear about a five percent spending cut by the government, what it really means in the increase in spending is being cut. Actual spending is not cut. It goes up every year.
Real Americans all across this are facing a grim reality. The net worth of Americans has fallen to the same level it was in 1969. The Obama Regime has wiped out over forty years of economic progress in less than four years.
Real Americans are being forced to slash their personal budgets. Families that wanted to buy new cars are putting those purchases off. Families who used to go on vacation every summer are putting those vacations off.
If Real Americans are having to tighten their belts, why isn’t the Federal Government required to do the same?
The Obama Regime wants Americans to pay more in taxes. They claim they only want the “rich” to pay more. Howard Dean, the screaming tub of Vermont liberalism told MSNBC that everyone needed to pay more. Dean let the secret out. The left does not simply want tax hikes on the so-called “rich.” They want to soak everyone.
That is what the left really wants. They want massive tax hikes on the rich, the middle class and anyone who is not a welfare recipient.
Here is a simple idea.
Is it asking the government too much to simply spend one dollar less than it did last year?
I’m not talking about reducing the amount of the spending increase. I am talking about reducing the total amount the government spends.
Is it asking too much for the government to make the same kind of sacrifice many real Americans are making?
Senator Tom Coburn is again making waves about waste in government spending. He does this every few months. Even liberals will fawn over an attack on government waste.
The Obama News Network, also known as ABC gave Coburn some great, flattering coverage. The reporter and Coburn both expressed outrage over examples of wasteful government spending.
But here is the dirty secret. That wasteful spending is never eliminated from budget. Obama’s one time stimulus in 2009 became part of the budget. That is why we have trillion dollar deficits every year.
Is it asking too much for the government to simply spend one dollar less than it did the year before?
One real dollar.
Is it asking the government to reduce its spending by one single dollar?
As long as the Party of Treason controls any part of the government, the answer is yes.
But this is a good message we conservatives can share.
Tell our government, spend just one dollar less this year than it did last year.
It is not possible, but it is a good message.

Permalink Reply by Barry Gabrielson on December 7, 2012 at 11:19am I worked for Aerospace companies for over 30 years. I reported billions in Waste, Fraud and Abuse in Aerospace to the DOD-IG. They responded back that they dont care, that Aerospace and DOD-IG are one big family. I can go into any company working that have contracts with the Federal government and find WFA, any company. Yet not a person in Congress or the President cares, WFA is accepted and approved, no one who commits Fraud is accountable. The only people accountable are employees who stand up for the taxpayer, so no to Waste, Fraud and Abuse. These employees are harassed, abused and terminated, never to work again. So if you work for companies that work for the government, and your boss orders you to commit fraud and ignore waste, dont report it, you do as you are told. If you have morals and go the top, reporting WFA, you become the enemy of the corporation, then you are written up for insubordination, then terminated. The government gives a thumbs for Aerospace retaliation to shut up all employees who questions Waste, fraud and Abuse in the corporation. So good employees do as they are ordered, shut up and save their jobs. This is where we are today America in our society. Those who speak out of billions in WFA are retaliated by those who commit WFA, benefit from WFA with the blessing from the DOD-IG. We the People accept this, a government that allows and promoted retaliation of good employees to shut this employees up, allow billions of Waste of taxpayers dollars to protect company profits and future contracts that waste taxapayers dollars. No one wants to protect employees from retaliation, so WFA today continues and no one cares.

Glad to hear from you Brother !
You speak the truth.

ALL ARE ON THE TAKE.
Merry Christmas (2012) !

The rule of law does not matter. The person in power makes the rules. The person in power decides which rules to enforce (the ones they like) and the ones they simply ignore. We the People accept this. That is why the Consitution is ingored. When you have 5 morons voting that BO care is constitutional, then you have a break down of the rules. The Constitution never allowed Congress to force anyone who buy a product or service, then be given a penalty or a tax if they refuse to purpose. Yet 5 immoral clowns misinterpreted the Constitution. Why? Because they can with no accountability or consequences. That is wrong. We the People must make sure rules are enforced, period. When they are not, there needs consequences, like removal off the bench. Yet nothing ever gets done becuase those in power rule, regardless of the law. It makes me sick.

Your quote: "As long as the Party of Treason controls any part of the government, the answer is yes."
Which Party of Treason are you referring to, Judson? The DNC or the traitorous GOP?
I just received a fund-raising request to donate to TPN. I have been a TPN member for a long time. When TPN steps out and leads the formation of a third national political party entitled
NATIONAL TEA PARTY,
I will immediately begin contributing $100 a month to TPN.
As long as TPN supports the traitorous Republican Party, I will not contribute one red cent!
Can I get a witness?

Think of it as a low-interest loan. The actual penalty that the average late payment results in is only about 12% interest per year...prorated. That means that if you are late by six months, you pay a 6% penalty. If you owed a thousand dollars, the penalty for dragging your feet 8 months until December 25th, 2013 would be about $80. If you can afford such a minimal penalty, and want to irritate the crap out of the IRS, Congress and the White House, do this!
Don't file until next Christmas! Then there will be a flood of returns cluttered up with Christmas mail. The Post Office will be screwed. The IRS will have to work over the holidays. We can sit by the fire and know that our $80 is going to a worthy cause!
Use that $1,000 to pay off some other loan or credit card balance. If your credit card has a 20% rate, then you have made a 12% return on your money.
It's a win-win situation!

This statement truly defines the current United States Government, House, Senate, Executive, and Judicial.
Where have all the good men gone (or why have they not gone).
We are being usurped by the reminents of the WW II Nazi regeme. You can see it in every OBOZO Play from the NAZI handbook being repeated daily.
