Why the Obama Rescue Plan Is the Wrong Solution to the Wrong Problem

If President Obama is FDR, George Bush was Herbert Hoover

It didn't work For FDR either.

Obama's stimulus and universal health care plan is nothing more than a BAIL OUT for State Governments that are so HUGE, full of waste and corruption. Give the $$$$ to the PEOPLE and dismantle government to get back to governing and regulating and get OUT of the business of providing services as they cannot do it as effectively, efficiently or as economically as Private Industry. The Government CAN monitor and Regulate Private busines they just cann't regulate their own agencies due to political influence, nepotism and favoritism. The HUGE State Governments OPPRESS its citizens and the middle class that supports this burgeoning BEST is shrinking at alarming rates.

I just finished a few moments ago an article in the Weekly Standard about Japan problems in the 1990's which looks a lot like ours. The info dude (the masculine version of the term info-babe) alluded to it but did not mention that the one thing that really seemed to help Japan was tax cuts.
Unfortunately they jacked up taxes just as they were starting to work and sent them back into recession again. Also Japan did the infrastructure thing with no success.
Also the info-dude did not give George Bush credit for his tax cuts. True, Bush did spend to much but he also cut taxes and that helped the economy. We would still be in good shape if not for the credit crunch and oil price spike.
We have a built in tax increase coming in 2010. It will be interesting to see what the liberals do.
What I will do is write my senators and congressman about this so called tax cut for people who don’t even pay taxes of which many don’t work at all I take it. That really makes me mad.
Call welfare welfare. Tax cuts are for people who actually pay taxes!

On the second vid I wish Democrats would give Hover the credit he deserves for his plan that is a lot like their plan.

They paint him as a supply sider when in fact he did all the same things Roosevelt did. He got blamed for it merely because he was caught holding the bag.

The Blumenthal Burisma Connection

Steve Hilton , a Fox News commentator who over the weekend had connected some Burisma corruption dots, had this to say about Connecticut U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal’s association with the tangled knot of corruption in Ukraine: “We cross-referenced the Senate co-sponsors of Ed Markey's Ukraine gas bill with the list of Democrats whom Burisma lobbyist, David Leiter, routinely gave money to and found another one -- one of the most sanctimonious of them all, actually -- Sen. Richard Blumenthal."

Donna

I am writing this for members of my family, and for others who may be interested. My twin sister Donna died a few hours ago of stage three lung cancer. The end came quickly and somewhat unexpectedly. She was preceded in death by Lisa Pesci, my brother’s daughter, a woman of great courage who died still full of years, and my sister’s husband Craig Tobey Senior, who left her at a young age with a great gift: her accomplished son, Craig Tobey Jr. My sister was a woman of great strength, persistence and humor. To the end, she loved life and those who loved her. Her son Craig, a mere sapling when his father died, has grown up strong and straight. There is no crookedness in him. Thanks to Donna’s persistence and his own native talents, he graduated from Yale, taught school in Japan, there married Miyuki, a blessing from God. They moved to California – when that state, I may add, was yet full of opportunity – and both began to carve a living for them...

Lamont Surprised at Suit Brought Against PURA

Marissa P. Gillett, the state's chief utility regulator, watches Gov. Ned Lamont field questions about a new approach to regulation in April 2023. Credit: MARK PAZNIOKAS / CTMIRROR.ORG Concerning a suit brought by Eversource and Avangrid, Connecticut’s energy delivery agents, against Connecticut’s Public Utility Regulatory Agency (PURA), Governor Ned Lamont surprised most of the state’s political watchers by affecting surprise. “Look,” Lamont told a Hartford Courant reporter shortly after the suit was filed, “I think it is incredibly unhelpful,” Lamont said. “Everyone is getting mad at the umpires. Eversource is not getting everything they want and they are bringing suit. It was a surprise to me. Nobody notified me. I think we have to do a better job of working together.” Lamont’s claim is far less plausible than the legal claim made by Eversource and Avangrid. The contretemps between Connecticut’s energy distributors and Marissa Gillett , Gov. Ned Lamont’s ...
