Detroiters Pledge Uprising During State Takeover

“Make sure you are prepared and you will survive”

Be interesting to see how this turns out for them.

The rest of state is probably just fine with Detroit destroying itself. For the innocents trapped inside this collectivist hellhole, however, it will matter a great deal.

I think the rest of the State knows whose faultit is…

Applying For Obamacare,As Easy As Doing Taxes.

Hah, it’s not going to be easy to get “free”. Never is. Did you know if your employer doesn’t sign up for Obamacare then you will have to pay the IRS fines?

And the health care law isn’t only going to hit Ruffer. He’s quizzed his workers to ask if they understand that they will be fined if they don’t get health insurance. Just one of 20 workers were aware of the $95 tax penalty that rises to $695 by 2016.

Applying for health care not easy:

 Applying for benefits under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul could be as daunting as doing your taxes.

The government’s draft application is now on the Internet.

It runs 15 pages for a three-person family. The online version has 21 steps, some with added questions.

At least three major federal agencies, including the IRS, will scrutinize your application.

That’s just the first part of the process, which lets you know if you qualify for financial help.

You’d still have to pick a health plan.

Some fear that consumers will be overwhelmed and give up. Administration officials say the application form is being refined.

Still, the idea that picking a health insurance plan could be as simple as shopping on the Internet is starting to look like wishful thinking.

It’s Official, Now That We Have a Poll

The Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C. has found that fewer Americans than ever trust the decisions made by the government. 30% now think the government is correct.

For Every 10 Americans, Only 3 Trust The Government.

“However, there are disparities,” the official summary noted. “[M]ore than twice as many Hispanics as whites (44 percent vs. 20 percent) trust the federal government, and more blacks (38 percent) than whites trust the government.”

So what did you expect from our illegals from a socialist country.

I would think Blacks who lived under the Democrat slavery era would have learned the lessons. But it is not as bad as our with our illegal border jumpers.

On Wednesday afternoon, Christopher Anders, Senior Legislative Council at the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington D.C., spoke with Breitbart News exclusively about Senator Rand Paul’s filibuster of the John Brennan nomination to CIA director over the administration’s failures to answer questions about domestic use of drones.

How Many Demons Can Dance On the Head of a Sequester?

Obama bin lying again …

Our government is too big. The crisis of the moment, the so-called sequester, won’t do anything to change that. Our nation needs a plan to reduce government spending dramatically, rapidly, and in accordance with our needs. Until then, however, the sequester is better than nothing, and far better than any proposal to change it.

In addition, the sequester is the law of the land. That means something, we were told. At any rate, failing to implement the sequester or equivalent cuts is now a spending increase. Those demonizing the sequester with scare tactics will attempt to blame it and fiscal conservatives for any negative economic news in the future. But they always do that. When you will be blamed either way, the right thing to do is to do the right thing.

The Deficit

Our budget deficit this year is projected by the Congressional Budget Office to be $850B. We need run a surplus of $500B per year for 33 years to pay off our debt. Along with that, we will have to pay the interest on what we’ve already borrowed, which will go up dramatically as interest rates increase.

To start paying down the debt, we need to cut $1.3 trillion in spending this year. The sequester doesn’t really cut anything, but merely doesn’t increase spending by as much.

On the other hand it’s risky business attaching actual numbers to the sequester, because everyone seems to have their own. Part of the trouble is that we haven’t had an actual budget in nearly four years.

The Senate, which has been under Democrat control since 2006, hasn’t produced a budget since April 4, 2009.

• That was before the first Tax Day Tea Parties
• That was before there was any such thing as Obamacare
• That was before most children in Head Start were born
• 31 Senators have never voted on a budget

How are they planning federal spending for the next ten years when they haven’t even had a budget for the last four?

The $22 billion of reductions in planned increases to this year’s spending will be swallowed up by some emergency this or contingency that. There will be some crisis used to justify increased outlays.

Despite having bragged since August, 2011 about the very cuts in the sequester and having used them to justify his fiscal cliff plans, the President fights tooth and nail to increase the budget by $1.3 trillion over ten years. Instead, we should be cutting it by that amount this year, as we would need to do to begin paying down our debt.

In demagoguing sequestration, the President argues that it would have disastrous economic effects. If a small decrease in the rate of increase in government spending will wreck the economy, then something is terribly wrong.

Jobs

During the Obama Depression, while America has suffered, DC has been a boom town. The bureaucrats and hangers on in DC have had their party. Now it’s time for them to pay the band.

The sequester is a joke, and the whining over letting it go through shows the unserious nature of our elected officials, especially President Obama.

The Purpose of Government

Our government exists to defend the liberty of the people, not to provide jobs for DC bureaucrats. Do you want to justify government spending? Show how it defends freedom, or liberty, or the rights of the people.

We have too many people on Welfare, food stamps, and too many companies dependent on government spending. It’s going to end sometime and not well. The sequester doesn’t address that problem, but it should serve as a wakeup call for those who think the gravy train will keep rolling.

The question for our government is not when the spending spree will stop, but whether we stop it or it stops us.

ABC Broadcast Edits Out Michelle Obama Claim That Chicago Teen Was Killed by An ‘Automatic Weapon’

Hah, the old switch-a-roo comes up again. This is how they conviced some last time…. By lying. You see why the news media is just useless.

Automatic weapons have been tightly controlled and almost impossible to get for decades in America.

So when did the Bill of Rights turn into our Bill of Needs???

In an interview with Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts aired this morning, First Lady Michelle Obama recalled the tragic death of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton who was shot and killed in Chicago after performing during the President’s Inauguration celebration in Washington D.C.

“She was caught in the line of fire because some kids had some automatic weapons they didn’t need,” the First Lady explained. “I just don’t want to keep disappointing our kids in this country. I want them to know that we put them first.”

Chicago police reported, however, that Pendleton was shot by a man who “opened fire with a handgun before fleeing in a waiting car” according to the Associated Press.

Shocker: Obamacare Insurance Fund Runs Out Of Money

Crap is already turning to crap … Imagine that, the bills for your free lunch coming due.

Count the lies, Obama told you. Bring a large bag.

Low information voters, you figure out what a “he is nothing but a demagogue” means yet?

What’s that? Obamacare running over budget? You could knock me over with a feather.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Obama administration on Friday said it would stop enrolling new beneficiaries in a special $5 billion insurance program for people with pre-existing medical conditions, because of rising costs and limited funding.

The news comes a day after a top U.S. healthcare official told lawmakers on Capitol Hill that the administration is grappling with financial difficulties but determined to keep the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP) operating in 23 states and the District of Columbia through 2013.

PCIP was established in 2010 under President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform law to provide coverage for sick people unable to find it in the private insurance market. The program is designed as a bridge to January 1, 2014, when legal restrictions barring discrimination over medical conditions come into force.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a notice on Friday saying it would suspend new enrollments beginning on Saturday to “help ensure that funds are available through 2013 to continuously cover people currently enrolled in PCIP.”

But remember, it’s the law of the land now. So suck it up, citizen. We’re fixing health insurance by making it more expensive and harder to get.

Finish reading the bill, yet?

Krugman: Death Panels and Middle-Class Tax Hikes Ahead

Big Government: We almost never agree with President Obama’s favorite economist Paul Krugman, but he recently spoke the truth about where Obama’s policies are taking the country. It should scare anyone with a pulse.

Krugman, after speaking at the Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington, D.C., was asked about the debt crisis. After arguing it’s no big deal in the near term, Krugman admitted that “Eventually we do have a problem. The population is getting older, health care costs are rising … . Something is going to have to give.”

What’s that something?
