I’m predicting the catcalls from the “mainstream” (read: liberal) media (MSM) before they even start. They are so predictable in their cheap shots and personal attacks, that I know what their next move is even before they do.

Having been right about every social, political, and economic prediction I’ve made for the last 10 years, I will make a new one that I have complete 100% faith in. The media rallying cry against Perry within the next year will be: “Do we really need another Governor from Texas?”

And the answer to that, in short, is yes. But not just because Texas is one of the largest geographic, populous, and economic states in the union, but because of the man that has been running it successfully for over 10 years.

Perry, previously unknown to many outside of Texas, is actually the longest serving governor in Texas history, and has never lost an election. In addition, he has served as chairman of the GOP Governor’s Association.

Governor Perry is a proud patriot and unapologetic conservative who stands for the primary values espoused by the mainstream conservative movement.

But we’re not here to just hype him up with feel-good compliments as the MSM did for Obama, without even knowing anything about him. We are here to cover the details, specifics, and real factors.

Reasons why we need another Governor from Texas:

Conservative Values: Perry supports solid mainstream conservative values that most Americans believe in. This is a center-right nation, despite what the MSM pretends, and people do sympathize with mainstream conservatism. See Ronald Reagan, the best president of the 20th century. Principles like smaller government, lower taxes, and less government intrusion ring happily in the ears of most citizens. Further, Americans don’t elect moderate republicans as President. See Bob Dole, John McCain.

Intellect: Despite his cowboy mannerism, which is charming, he did write a book called “Fed Up” which delineates his disapproval of the Federal Government’s expansion into the huge monster that it is now, robbing Americans of their income, spending other people’s money, and interfering with everyone’s life. This is a sentiment that most Americans agree with, as shown in the TEA Party movement. Contrast that with Obama’s book about his college drug use and communist principles.

Common Sense: Whatever happened to this principle? Well it’s still alive and well with Perry. Any American with common sense realizes that we can’t sustain the Federal expansionist movement, including Perry, who can now vocalize those views with a national audience. We don’t need a genius as president, just someone who sympathizes with what his constituents want, understands how to implement it, and has the judgment to make the right decisions.

Common Bond: The way Perry comes across as an average southern American patriot is appealing to a great many people. The truth is, he’s well above average, but you wouldn’t know it by listening to him. Americans, right and left, are already tired of Obama talking down to us and lecturing us like we’re a bunch of idiot schoolchildren, especially those of us that have much higher IQ’s than Obama, but that’s another story. The citizens of this country like a man that talks to them straight up, as a peer or equal, and that’s what Perry does.

Longevity: Hopefully, after the 2008 election debacle, Americans learned their lesson about electing a half-term, unknown Senator, whose place of birth is still a matter of debate. The fact that nobody really seemed to know where Obama came from should have been a red flag. The fact that he was never in an executive position of any sort should have been a huge concern. Perry is the longest serving governor in Texas history, and has a known public record to run on.

Track Record: Perry’s accomplishments as Texas governor are well documented. He has presided over the state for over 10 years and enacted what the people wanted, despite a partisan legislature. At one point, he even hired a former Democrat opponent from a previous governor’s race to get a bipartisan bill passed, and it worked. His state is one of few that has had any job growth in the last few years, and other economic factors of the state rank in the top half of the union, despite the fact that it’s getting flooded by illegal aliens, which, as a group, bring down all the economic indicators.

Physical Qualifications: Let’s be honest, Obama is the first President of the modern era that doesn’t have a 14 inch part in his hair, but he does have a full head of hair. Perry does have the 14 inch part, plus he’s tall enough, ruggedly handsome, and although 61 he doesn’t look a day over 59. Most men wouldn’t mind looking that good at his age. As aforementioned, the old white haired or balding thing doesn’t work, see Dole or McCain; it just doesn’t work.

Cleanliness: Let’s be even more frank. To get elected as a Democrat, you can be a dirt-bag, and that’s fine. If you want to admit in your biography that you were a heavy drug abuser in college, and that you believe in the principles of communism, that’s fine, see Obama. If you’re a Republican, no such luck. If you had a DUI 30 years ago they will use it against you. If you once used the word “makaka” which means “monkey” to refer to a reporter, they can remove you from the Senate. You basically have to be a saint, which works more in Romney’s favor since he is actually a “latter day saint,” but that’s another story. So far, no skeletons have surfaced for Perry, but if they don’t, the MSM will create some, you can count on that.

Electability: Last but far from least, this is a factor that the GOP tends to overlook, much to their demise. People are not going to elect an old white haired Senator that has been part of the problem for 26 years. But they will definitely give a second look to a governor that’s literally “Fed Up” with the way Washington DC politics have been running the nation. Perry speaks with determination and sincerity, doesn’t mince words, doesn’t backpedal, and doesn’t need a teleprompter. He knows what he’s talking about and is not afraid to say it. In addition, he will certainly carry Texas, which has the 2nd highest amount of electoral votes, and would get Florida were Jeb Bush to officially endorse him, which is completely hypothetical at this point.

Concerns: Democrats love to point out that Perry used to be a Democrat that supported Al Gore. Of course they skip over the fact that Gore used to be more conservative than most Republicans. At the time, Gore preached fiscal responsibility, and he was even (gasp) pro-life! That was before the Clintons lured him to the dark side and he became a flaming liberal. At that point, Perry jumped ship, not only deserting Gore but the entire Democrat Party, realizing there was no hope for it. Another Governor once went through a similar story after spending the first half of his life as a Democrat; his name was Ronald Reagan. Any other character concerns that opponents will point to are likely some kind of slant on the facts or just outright slander.

That’s the full rap on Perry, and those should be good enough reasons why we need another governor from Texas. Let’s end it with a few quotes from Perry himself.

I stand before you today as a disciplined conservative Texan, a committed Republican and a proud American, united with you to restoring our nation and revive the American dream.

In Michigan, a liberal democrat raised taxes and kept their government programs at the same level. And guess what? Their economy continued into the toilet, it continued down.

Let’s stand up. Let’s speak with pride about our morals and our values and redouble our effort to elect more conservative Republicans.

Social Security is a Ponzi scheme; it’s a big lie to tell young people they will get anything out this program they’ve been paying into.

Texas has long been known as the nation’s largest energy producer, but we are equally proud of our distinction as the nation’s leading energy innovator.

Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry.

The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we inhabit are not only critical elements in the quality of life we enjoy – they are a reflection of the majesty of our Creator.

Our party cannot be all things to all people. … Our loudest opponents on the left are never going to like us so let’s stop trying to curry favor with them.

The Obama administration is an affront to every freedom-loving American,and a threat to every private sector job in this country.

The people who illegally cross into the country are from countries that have very close ties to al Qaeda, whether it’s Yemen or Afghanistan, Pakistan, China. It is an absolute national disgrace.

This administration in Washington that’s in power now clearly believes that government is not only the answer to every need, but it’s the most qualified to make the most central decisions for every American in every area.

Under Obama, our federal tax dollars can now be used to fund abortion all over the world. With the stroke of a pen, abortion essentially became a U.S. foreign export.

We need to stop apologizing for celebrating life. We need to stop apologizing for wanting to protect an individual’s right to build a business.

Our shared conservative values, our belief in the individual is the great hope of our nation.

Maybe it’s time to have some provocative language in this country…

That about sums it up. It is time for some decisive language. It’s time to stop being a wussy about criticizing the useless idiot that is supposedly running the nation. Now, we have someone that’s not afraid to tell us like it is. That, my friend, is why we need another governor from Texas.

We were willing to forgive Romney of state health care, which his liberal legislature would have passed some form of over his veto, and the same with the Boston tunnel, but caving in to the global warming hoax is going too far.

Real Deal Politics has withdrawn the Romney endorsement at this time, keeping it open for other candidates that desire to run as conservatives. Romney is a fine man and was a solid business man and governor, but we simply can not support his new lean towards liberal tenets, regardless of his motive for supporting them.

Original article below:

The Real Deal continues to endorse Mitt Romney as the best US Presidential candidate currently available. It is not known for sure whether he will run again, but he hasn’t denied it. He will have his hands full with Donald Trump, and we just hope whoever does win doesn’t totally trash the reputation of the others, so they can have some respectability coming out of the primaries.

Reasons to support Romney:

1. Conservatism
2. Electability
3. Loyalty
4. Dogma
5. Purpose

Let’s not forget it was highly trained Navy Seals that killed Bin Laden, not Obama, who is a cowardly fool that the old man Osama would whip with his cane.

Here’s Obama’s hypocrisy:

2008: “Navy Seal Team 6 is Cheney’s private assassination team.”
2011: “I put together Seal Team 6 to take out Bin Laden.”

2008: “Bin Laden is innocent until proven guilty, and must be captured alive and given a fair trial.”
2011: “I authorized Seal Team 6 to kill Bin Laden.”

2008: “Guantanamo is entirely unnecessary, and the detainees should not be interrogated.” “I will close Guantanamo.”
2011: “Vital intelligence was obtained from Guantanamo detainees that led to our locating Bin Laden.”

So why the change in heart over all of this? It’s quite simple, his aides told him he had to take credit for this, if it really happened, in order to get re-elected.

Obama is the same jackass whose administration tried to prosecute and court martial 3 Navy Seals for punching a terrorist while capturing him. So they’re not allowed hand to hand combat anymore? Soldiers can shoot, blow up, and otherwise maim the enemy, but can’t use martial arts?

If it sounds confusing, you’re not alone. Obama has no clue what he’s doing, doesn’t understand the purpose of the military, hates our armed forces, and has disdain for the entire Department of Defense. He is a naive, narcissistic, idiot pretending to be president, who will capitalize on any opportunity to lower his growing disapproval numbers.

Obama is not an American. Anyone who harbors such hatred for freedom, limited government, business people of all sorts, capitalism, the US Constitution and the US Armed Forces, and thinks the American people are stupid if they don’t agree with him, does not constitute an American.

In addition, anyone who aspires to increase government spending, taxes, and government control while decreasing the sovereignty, freedoms and bank accounts of the average citizen, can only be called anti-American.

An American is someone who believes in the American way as our founding fathers laid out and provided for us, not one who seeks to destroy it like the abomination called Obama.

The double standard within the media continues to go on incessantly. Democrats get a free pass for just about any behavior, while Republicans had better be squeaky clean, or else their career and reputation will be destroyed by the media.

October Surprise, year 2000, the media made a huge deal about GW Bush getting a DUI 20 years beforehand. Fortunately most people realized its insignificance and irrelevance although the media tried to make it the most pressing issue of the time.

I argued with some idiot online who said the DUI was proof of alcoholism and that alcoholics could relapse at any time, making Bush an unstable persona. Anyone who has ever had 2 drinks in an hour then drove should know they were just as eligible for a DUI as Bush.

Understandably, realizing his career was on the line, Bush decided to quit drinking and as far as anyone knows, never took a drink after that. This was commendable, and sobriety is a quality we should all look for in the leader of the free world.

Fast forward to October 2008. No surprises, at least not for the media. Several major but non-”mainstream” media personalities revealed that not only was Barack Obama a foreign national, but also a communist and a drug addict.

In fact, Obama himself corroborated this information in his own book, “Dreams of My Father” written beforehand, that he was in a “drug induced haze” throughout most of college.

He also went into detail about his communist tenets inherited from his Arab Muslim father, who abandoned him, leaving him to his communist mother, who also later abandoned him. No wonder he was on drugs.

But the “mainstream” media failed to report on any of this, deciding for the public that this didn’t matter. After all, a two-year drug induced haze is less of a character flaw than a DUI, right?

No, this information wasn’t important to them, because he was a democrat, and an extreme leftist, raging radical liberal democrat, at that. The media was not about to jeopardize his chances at a fraudulent presidency.

So here we are, 2 years later, Americans wondering why they had no idea what an extremist, ideological, unstable moron their president was, before he was elected. All they heard from the media was how smart Obama was.

The economy continues to go down the drain, and the only economic indicators on the rise are unemployment and buyer’s remorse.

We can chalk this one up to the double standard. The media failed to do its job of reporting the truth, and reeled in the people, hook line and sinker, into the biggest scam in American election history.

Thanks, “mainstream media.”

In many ways, Obama represents the sum product of the generation primarily responsible for electing him. He is ignorant yet arrogant, narcissistic, selfish, idiotic, delusional, and has an unreasonable sense of entitlement. In other words, he is highly representative of the youngest voting generation.

From a CNN exit poll: “Voters in the 18 to 24 age group broke 68 percent for Obama to 30 percent for John McCain, according to the exit polling. Those in the 25 to 29 age bracket went 69 percent to 29 percent in Obama’s favor…” That would be Generation ME.

Generation ME consists of those older boys and girls of ages between 18 and 40, the group forming the majority of Obama voters. It would be faulty refer to them as young men and women, since those nouns imply some kind of maturity or adulthood. Rather, the majority of them are overgrown children that behave and think like adolescents.

They are surprisingly arrogant considering their ignorance, and they are also selfish, idiotic, delusional, and brainwashed. They have an unbelievable sense of entitlement. Everything should be given to them just as they want it, regardless of where it comes from or how much other people toiled for it.

(To be fair, not all of them are overgrown children. I certainly know many that are fine young men and women, responsible adults, and good Americans. But these are in the minority, and many are embarrassed of their own generation.)

There are certainly other names we could issue to this generation, but “ME” seems to be the simplest word that sums up so many of their characteristics. Look at all the products that are oriented towards this generation: Imac, Ipod, Ipad, Iphone, Youtube, Myspace. The list goes on. Everything is about ME.

Who is responsible for Generation ME? How did we get here? It’s a long story but you have to look at the big picture. Here’s the short version:

It all started with the Lost Generation that elected President Franklin Roosevelt. FDR was the father of modern socialism in the US. He brought about Social Security and other entitlement programs, and raised top rate taxes to levels unheard of.

Perhaps his greatest legacy was ridding the US of hundreds of thousands of patriots from the Greatest Generation by sending them off to die overseas, in order to save nations of apathetic socialist idiots that didn’t want to even make an effort to save themselves from socialist dictator Hitler (look it up, NAZI = National Socialist Party; Hitler was a man of the left.)

With a large volume of patriots dead and gone, FDR was free to usher in a new era of socialism. In fact, he used their loss as the very excuse for Social Security. There simply weren’t enough young adults around to care for the old anymore, so it was determined the government would care for them.

It did make some sense as a short term solution, considering the government was responsible for sending children of the elderly off to die. However, the program would never go away, and permanent socialistic government care for the elderly replaced the traditional family care that existed in all previous generations. The dead of the Greatest Generation were rolling over in their graves already.

With higher taxes, most of the working class couldn’t afford to take care of extra family members anyway, so the next generation made no efforts to diminish Social Security or taxes. Instead, Baby Boomers stood idly by watching the Socialist Security program expand and taxes go up.

In the meantime, the public schools were being stocked with leftists of all sorts: liberals, communists, socialists, and atheists. These were the people that harbored deep resentment for a capitalist society, either because they couldn’t function in it, didn’t like its morals, or otherwise didn’t want any part of it.

Keep in mind that many of these were counterculture leftists that spent most of the 60s and 70s doing drugs and thus had no practical skills in a capitalist society. Many of them went into journalism as well, building a highly effective leftist propaganda machine on that end. They did, after all, know how to talk.

Either way, much of this collection of misfit leftists landed in public schools and universities. Those who couldn’t do, taught. And what they taught, besides reading, writing and arithmetic, was their leftist principles, including revisionist history.

Those who reported spent most of their time bashing Nixon, Reagan and Bush. Their hero was President Carter, the worst ever US president until Obama*. (* Personally I do not consider Obama to be a valid president, having been fraudulently elected and unable to prove his citizenship, but I’m trying to keep on point here.)

While most responsible Baby Boomer parents were working all day and making money to save for college tuition, their children were in school getting brainwashed by these irresponsible but principled leftists. Thanks to their parents’ hard work, they could receive further brainwashing in college. Thus was born Generation X.

X is a surprisingly accurate title, since it is a heavily divided generation. Think of the X in terms of its two halves.

The first slash in the X represents many of them that grew up to become responsible adults, and shrugged off their communist teachings once they realized how the real world operates. That is, one must contribute to society by participating in some form of business, whether as an employee, manager, owner, or night shift worker, in order to achieve some kind of wages.

The backslash in the X represents those that never shook their leftist brainwashing, and adhere to it to this day. They refuse to think for themselves, and instead believe only what their school teachers and communist media tell them. They were taught that Ronald Reagan was an evil tyrant that tried to destroy the US by bringing down the Soviet Union and lowering taxes, and they believed it.

While the right split of Gen X worked their butts off to make a paycheck, many had little time to pay attention to the brainwashing their kids were receiving, much less get involved politically. They left it to the public schools and the TV to raise their kids while they toiled all day to give their kids everything they wanted, including things they never dreamed of having when they were young.

All this conspired to give Generation ME a deep sense of entitlement. At school they learned that everyone should have according to his need, taking from those according to their means. Then they came home and their parents gave them everything they needed and more, for nothing. It was the ultimate reassurance that what they were being taught by the schools and the TV was correct.

In the meantime, the left split of Gen X was busy teaching, reporting, doing drugs, collecting welfare, and irresponsibly raising families of complete leftist losers, whose primary desire is to bring down the capitalist system and implement their Marxist utopia.

Thus Generation ME is comprised of children of the left split X communists and many socialists from the right split X parents that let the schools and media raise their children. Collectively, this is the most left leaning generation in the history of the US, even though many came from conservative families.

If you tell them how communism killed millions of people under Stalin, Lenin, and the various Asian leaders, they will tell you unequivocally that it wasn’t really communism, and was corrupted by the bad men in charge. With the right people in charge (Obama) it will work. Redistribute wealth and everyone will be happy. Let government run everything and everything will run great.

This is what they believe. This is the scariest generation that you can imagine living on US soil. They faithfully believe in socialism and communism as they were taught, and they fully intend to implement it during their time.

They are not adults, and they are not Americans. They are spoiled brats that believe that America is an evil country that has been run by rich greedy capitalists at the expense of the poor. They do not appreciate the concept that business owners are the people creating jobs in the US. They would rather have the government provide jobs.

Gen ME was raised to believe there is no God; that Government is the only higher power. Government should provide everything to everyone from cradle to grave: jobs, income, welfare, medical care, transportation, utilities, and whatever else you can think of. They don’t care where it comes from.

All wealth should first be given to the Almighty Government, which can then decide how and when to redistribute or squander it. Government should run people’s lives.

This is what they really believe. To paint a scarier picture, consider that many of them have still not achieved voting age. This problem will not go away anytime soon.

If you think going to the voting booth to push R buttons in November will solve the problem, consider that 2 more years of Generation Me will be in there pressing D buttons in hopes they won’t need a job.

They still believe that Obama will provide everything they need, because he’s the right guy in charge. Stalin was the wrong guy. Hitler was the wrong guy. Obama is the right guy. Communism will work under him, because he’s a good guy.

They are delusional enough to think Obama cares about them as well. But caring isn’t part of the communist plan. The plan is for the ruling class to take wealth from the backs of the working class, and distribute it as they see fit, after keeping most of it. It’s that simple.

Generation ME: selfish, ignorant, arrogant, irrational, delusional, and narcissistic.

Obama is their ideal messiah.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency .It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” – author unknown

Real Deal Politics first looks at why people voted for Obama, his qualifications as executive leader of the free world, and how he has delivered on his promises, the accomplisments of his administration, and how Obamanomics works.

today

In case you haven’t heard, and most haven’t because the media doesn’t bother to report news that they don’t want us to hear.  Obama has directed billions of taxpayer dollars to Brazil for an oil exploration that is also financed by George Soros, who stands to reap a huge profit in the deal.

Obama must feel sorry for George, his principal campaign financier, because poor George doesn’t have enough money.  This is another middle finger to the American people given by the Soros/Obama/Reid oligarchy.

If they’re for oil drilling, why won’t they let US companies drill for oil on our soil? Because that would be good for our country. It would create jobs and boost the economy, and give us oil independence from the terrorist-sponsoring foreign countries that we get oil from now.

You see, people like Obama and Soros are never happy.  They are miserable creatures that thrive on bringing as much misery as possible to the masses.

Soros is a sick freak that thinks billions of dollars will bring him happiness, if he can only make sure that few other people around him can even make ends meet. He is an evil, diabolical, disgusting excuse for a human being.  You can tell him I said that. The only reason I can bear seeing of saying his name is because I know he’ll spend eternity in hell, and he’s not exactly a young man, if you know what I mean.

How long will you let Soros destroy our country?  Will you stand up against him and his puppets in the White House, Congress, and the media?  Will you fight against the demise against the country that you know and used to love?  If so, stay tuned. The revolution is beginning.

Wall Street Journal article on this travesty.

GOP Takes Ted Kennedy’s Senate Seat

Republican Scott Brown has just defeated Massachusetts state Attorney General Martha Coakley in the race for the vacant US Senate seat left by Ted Kennedy. In an upset of monumental proportions, Brown is the first Republican to win a Senate seat in the heavily Democratic state in 30 years.

Democrats outnumber Republicans 3-to-1 in the state — 37 percent of registered voters are Democrats, 12 percent are Republicans and 51 percent are unaffiliated. Obama won the state by 26 percentage points in the 2008 presidential election, which gives you a clue how the “unaffiliated” usually vote.

Just one month ago, Brown trailed in the polls by 30 points, which he cut in half to 15 points two weeks ago, indicating that he had “a steep hill to climb.” Then, several days before the election, he suddenly had a slim lead in the polls.

Today, in what is being called “the Scott heard around the world,” Brown has won the Senate seat with 53% of the vote to his opponent’s 46%.

Five years ago the late Ted Kennedy successfully lobbied for a bill that enabled the state to call for a special election if a US Senate seat in Massachusetts was abandoned, in case fellow senator John Kerry won the presidential election.

At the time, Republican Mitt Romney was the governor of Mass., and would have certainly appointed a senator from the GOP, as was his right to do so as a special appointment. Needless to say, Kerry did not win and the law was unnecessary.

Ironically, the law came back to haunt Kennedy in his last days. Realizing his terminal cancer, he pled last year for the state to revert the law to call for a governor’s appointment, since the governor is now of the Democrat party.

Had old Ted left it alone to begin with, the special election would have never happened, and his seat would almost certainly have been given to a Democrat of his approval.

Democrats are now scrambling to point fingers and trivialize the election, but this is a state that has voted solid blue for decades in all national elections, for president and congress. All of the state’s other congressional representatives are Democrats, as they have been for decades.

First of all, Coakley ran a poor campaign. She had an air of arrogance, refusing to stand outside Fenway stadium and shake hands because it was “too cold,” misspelling her state’s name in a campaign ad, and assuming she would win just because she’s a Democrat in perhaps the most Democratic state. She also made fun of Scott Brown’s truck, and called Curt Schilling a Yankees fan.

Since their coup in 2008, the Democrats have lost major elections for governor positions in Virginia and New Jersey, both of which have gone blue in recent elections. Their only victory since then was a House position in New York’s heavily Democratic and liberal 23^rd district.

In that race, liberal Republican candidate Scozzafava, who agreed to support the Democratic agenda in Congress, failed to gain GOP support for obvious reasons. Doug Hoffman entered the race as a third party conservative, losing by only 2% of the vote to Democrat Bill Owens. Had the RINO candidate withdrawn as she should have, instead of taking 5% of the vote, Hoffman would have won.

But Democrat Nanny State Pelosi recognized that as a huge victory, while ignoring the reality that the Democrats were losing much larger elections in other states.

If a Republican can win a US Senate seat in Massachusetts, he can win anywhere. If the Democrats don’t change their tune soon, they will continue to lose major elections.

Democrats may lose as many seats as they lost in 1994, when the arrogance of the Clinton administration and his congress caused over 50 congressional seats to change parties.

If you will recall, Newt Gingrich took the nation back and put us on the right track. It was after that Republican revolution that congress introduced welfare reform, huge spending cuts, and balanced the federal budget.

Keep in mind that the Clinton administration and his congress were not nearly as arrogant, condescending, and defiant as the current administration, although Hillary did also want to pass universal health care.

The arrogance today is off the charts, along with the blatant lies. The “transparent government” hasn’t happened, spending hasn’t decreased, but rather increased by $1 trillion in Obama’s first year, and universal health care promises only a larger federal budget.

The promise of tax cuts for all wasn’t kept either, but a tax hike in the form of letting Bush tax cuts expire, is definitely on the board.

They promised more jobs, but despite major increases in spending and pork in the form of the Stimulus Bill, we only have increased unemployment.

The Democrats and media have ignored repeated calls directly by the people in the form of Tea Parties and other peaceful rallies, and polls showing that they are in disagreement with the people.

If 58% of the people are against the health care plan, and only 37% are in favor of it, then why do they continue to try to push it through? Arrogance.

Obama’s approval numbers continue to go down, now below 50%, and Congress can’t even muster half of that. Yet they continue, defiantly on their socialist course, spitting in the face of the American people.

Democrats have only themselves to blame. You reap what you sow. The Americans are now rebelling against the government. We don’t want more socialized health care, more taxes, and more spending.

The people are speaking. If the government still doesn’t hear us now, they surely will in November.

Updated: September 2011

In light of continued uninhibited and reckless federal spending by the Obama administration, this page continues to be updated.

The actual “budget” for this year is $3,800,000,000,000, but for the sake of this discussion we will round up to an even $4 trillion. We feel confident that those in the White House and Congress will find a way to spend another $200 billion even if it is not officially designated yet.

In fact, Obama refuses to submit budgets to Congress and figures they will just write him another blank check like they did when raising the debt ceiling earlier this year. The graphic at the top of this page sums it up.

First, here’s what the government spends per average working days and hours of government employees, assuming they actually work their full hours, which they don’t. Here are the statistics:

Total this year	$4,000,000,000,000	4 TRILLION!!
Per month	$333,333,333,333	$300 Billion!
Per work day	$20,000,000,000		20 Billion!
Per work hour	$2,500,000,000		2.5 Billion!
Per work minute	$41,666,667		41 Million
Per work second	$694,444		2/3 of a Million!

It has been proven, by the way, that light can not travel faster than $100,000 per second… Einstein’s equation.

Just to be fair, let’s see what it looks like for a 365/7/24 work scenario.

Per actual day		$10,958,904,110	$11 billion!
Per actual hour		$456,621,005	450 million
Per actual minute	$7,610,350	7 million
Per actual second	$126,839	more than US avg salary

As an added bonus, what is the federal government spending per person?

Per person	$13,072	Population 306 million
Per taxpayer	$74,074	Approx 54 million liable

Now, before you get on our case about these figures, there were about 90 million individual tax filers last year, and it is estimated that 40% of them have zero tax liability. So per actual taxpayer, they are spending $74,000 per year.

This raises another question entirely. You then realize that those actually paying taxes are averaging $74k in their donations to the US government, while the rest pay nothing.

Perhaps if everyone paid taxes, i.e. fair tax or flat sales tax, this scenario would be a little more justified for everyone.

Another question might be: WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GETTING FOR THE $13,000 THEY’RE SPENDING ON EACH PERSON? Personally I’m not getting anything back…

Previous versions of 2008 and prio:

Now someone sent me the following today, and I checked out the math, it works. However, given that the federal government does not work 365/7/24 (trust me I’ve worked in govt for a while), let’s calculate how much only during working days/hours. The spending rate is astronomical. This doesn’t even count state/local govt…

Per Year $3,100,000,000,000
Per Working Day $15,500,000,000
Per Work Hour $1,937,500,000
Per Work Minute $32,291,667
Per Work Second $538,194

Half a million per second? I’m not sure but I don’t think light can move that fast. Hillary, Obama, and Mccain think our taxes aren’t high enough. OK well. Agree to disagree.

Know what the federal Government spends:

per second? A: $ 98,300
per minute? A: $ 5,898,021
per hour? A: $ 353,881,279
per day? A: $ 8,493,150,685

per year . . . $ 3,100,000,000,000 (George Bush’s 3 Trillion!!)
(Anyone complete their Federal Form 1040 return yet?)

Now we’ve got Obama’s 4 trillion! So you thought democrats would spend less? LOL
