With so much going on in the news today, it is hard to pick a subject to write about. So, I thought I would just give you my two cents worth about the state of our nation.
We are in deep trouble because there are not enough people who will think for themselves and use a little common sense. Politicians are fighting over how to fix the economy. Wow, as if this is such a hard thing. Take a look at the history of our economics. Every time we have reduced taxes and opened up more opportunity to free market solutions, we have seen growth. Every time we increase taxes and rely on the government our economy tanks. Think about for just a moment. Conservatives believe that the only way to create jobs is by allowing job creators some freedom to move in the direction they think is right, within the confines of law and public safety. Liberals believe we should raise the taxes of these job creators because it is not "fair' the amount of money they make off the peoples backs. Is it hard to understand what is going on here? I don't think so.
From the late 19th and early 20th centuries Progressives have tried to convince the people the more they trust the government the more they will get from government. Thus a welfare state. No more personal responsibility.
I believe that personal responsibility is the answer to the problems we face in our nation today. If people would become responsible for their own lives and the lives of their children, teaching them personal responsibility, we would see the rise of our nation back to it's glory. However, we have those who believe that people cannot take care of themselves nor can they make choices that will lead them to prosperity.
Even the Bible tells us that we have personal responsibility for working out our own salvation with fear and trembling. When people stop following the Biblical pattern, they always get on the wrong track. Now that our nation and it's public forum have attempted to remove God, the Bible is no longer looked to for guidance. Instead we look to the Elites in the education system and believe they know all the right answers.
We must stop being sheep led to the slaughter house and become the leaders that God has created us to be. If we could convince people to take a new approach then we would see less of these People in the news making bad choices that ultimately lead to their destruction.
God Bless.

What is this costing taxpayers?
This article came to my email today and the truth is I am not at all suprised. The CBO is always to low in their cost estimates because it seems they are not at all a non-partisan group. They are more group that does eerything they can to make the president and liberal democrats look good. In the end it always back fires because everything this administration does is leading us to bankruptcy and destruction. If we do not change the course we are on, this nation will be a part of a massive one world government.
(CNSNews.com) – The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) says the real cost of the federal government guaranteeing the business of failed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is $317 billion -- not the $130 billion normally claimed by the Obama administration.
In a report delivered to the House Budget Committee on June 2, the CBO said a “fair value” accounting of guaranteeing the two defunct mortgage companies – known as Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) – was more than twice as high as the Office of Management and Budget had accounted for. (For the full story go to CNSNews.com)
We cannot continue to throw money at this problem Keynsian economics have never worked and never will. How many of you think you can improve your personal finances by spending more money?
If you can't then how can the government?

Are We Winning?
With everything rising in cost, how can the Obama Adminsitration continue to say that we are winning in the economic race? Unemployment stays around 9%.
Food prices are up; beef up43%, dairy up 60%. Everything is Up! I got this piece from Human Events and thought I would share it with you.
The Writing is on The Wall!
Bailouts, Potential Government Shutdown, QE1, QE2, Expanding Debt Limits.....
The Days of the U.S. Dollar....are Numbered!
We're on the Brink of A Total Collapse, Resulting in Hyper-Inflation Overnight!
Everything is on the Rise...AGAINST the U.S. Dollar.
The Federal Reserve & Treasury Department are stuck between a Rock and A Hard Place.
If they Raise Interest rates... the economy goes into a Tail Spin.
If they Stop Borrowing and Issuing Debt....The Monetary(Ponzie-Scheme) System Fails.
BUT, If they continue Down the Same path...
The Collapse of the U.S. Dollar is Imminent.
How Bad is it??
The Obama Administration has increased Debt, more than All Past Presidents Combined.
Much like any Balance Sheet, it all comes down to: "Debt to Equity" Ratio.
The Obama Administration is Running out of time AND Options.
Things are going to get Worse, before they can get Any Better.
* China is now a Seller of U.S. Treasury Bonds, in Over The Counter markets (OTC).
* The U.S. Dollar is Now hitting New Lows, Against ALL Major currencies.
* Social Security is Now Bleeding Red,this is the First year since inception.
* The IMF is now calling for the Replacement of the U.S. Dollar, as the World Reserve Currency.
* The FED's are Buying Back Unsold Bonds, at Every Treasury Bond Auction.
ALL the Signs of an Eminent Collapse are upon us.
U.S. Dollar denominated Investments, are at Risk of Total Collapse.
Recent Data reveals Most Americans will outlive their Savings, Due to Rising Cost of Living....
AKA:Inflation.
Educate Yourself, on what could be
"The Biggest Financial Catastrophe"America has ever seen.
Hyperinflation.
How Bad is it getting?
The Federal Reserve Monetary Base (Money Supply) has increased 300% since August 2008.
The U.S. Banks Excess Reserves had a 49 year average of $.08 Billion Dollars,.. They are Now Holding approximately $1,455 Billion Dollars!
The Obama Administration has pledged to Release all of the above, in the Next Major Financial Debacle. ..Instant Inflation!
Don't believe it's possible?
*Food for thought: If Obama gave every American 1 Million Dollars.... Would we all be "Richer"?
The Answer is....No.
You would simply see more Dollars, chasing the same Amount of Goods... Instant Inflation.
What are we to do? Some say we need to but gold to assure our personal future. People did the same thing during the Great Depression and the Government confiscated all of it from the people. Do we think that this won't happen again?
Our only hope is "Trust in God". After all it is written on our money.

Recent Survey
I recently participated in a survey done by Newsmax.com. This is an on going survey and so far more than 275,000 people have participated. In this poll 93% of the people say that gas prices are affecting thier personal economy, 83% believe President Obama can do something more to help reduce the price of gasoline, 91% disagree with Obama's desire to raise taxes on gasoline, and 82% say if the election were held today they would vote for someone other than Mr. Obama.
The demographics of this survey were not given but it seems to me that with so many responding this is a very powerful statement for conservatives. We must defeat Mr. Obama in the next election if we are to have any hope of recovering our status in the world.
Gasoline is one of the issues that is cousing problems with our economy. Please let me know how you feel. Are yuou struggling? Are you one of the millions who are unemployed or under emmployed? Join in this discussion and maybe we can get enough people involved to make a difference in our future.

Honesty and Integrity
Politicians irritate me so much. there seems to be an over abundance of them who are simply in it for the prestige and power. Think about it, they get to wrangle our money for their pet projects and take all the glory for the "projects" they do for the area they represent. Now I don't have a problem with them working for the home folk, my problem is the lack of integrity and honesty from most of them. Why is it so hard to walk a life that shows these traits? I don't remember who said this but, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." When men and women get a hold on power they seem to have a tendency to be crazed, like rabid dogs. Men are more likely than women to be out of control, but it works in both sexes.
We need politicians and leaders who can control the urge to "lord it over the people". That is why we need term limits in both houses of congress. Just like the president, they should be limited so that they can do what they are elected to do and then move on to other "things". Imagine a group of people serving with no personal agenda for long term employment, no more career politicians.
Maybe you agree or disagree, if so please feel free to comment.

Medicare Reform
It seems to me that Medicare is in a deep hole and maybe there is no way to fix it. However, Rep. Paul Ryan has put together a plan that will put the program back on solid footing. Yet the Democrats and President B. Obama say that it will put seniors at risk. What? As if the current plan is not putting seniors at risk already. I recieved this short article from Freedon Works:
"We Can Save Medicare
If we do not act now, the failure of leadership by President Obama and Democrats in Congress will lead our Medicare system to certain bankruptcy. We can save Medicare for current seniors and make sure it's around for our children and grandchildren by supporting Representative Paul Ryan.
In his "Path to Prosperity", Rep. Ryan has laid out a plan to save Medicare by creating a patient-centered system for seniors that gives them more choices for their health care while reining in exploding costs.
Rep. Ryan's plan ensures that present seniors in Medicare are not affected and provides a sustainable path for future enrollees. In the video below Rep. Ryan offers a powerful explanation of his plan
It's simple, it's cost-effective and it puts the patient -- not bureaucrats -- in control. But President Obama and Democrats believe attacking Rep. Ryan's plan, while offering no solutions of their own for saving Medicare, is a winning electoral strategy: Attack Rep. Ryan, win the next election.
The problem is this "strategy" will come at the expense of seniors and taxpayers. Worst part is that President Obama has already admitted we're on an unsustainable course:
"Medicare is slated to go into the red in about eight to 10 years. I don't know if people are aware of that." - President Barack Obama, August 2009"
If we do nothing we are in more danger of harming seniors and future generations who will be relying on this program. We need to aleast give Paul Ryans plan a chance.
We're aware Mr. President, now what are you going to do about it?

Where to Buy Gas
You might want to pass this on. I buy 90% of our gasoline at BP, but take a look at WALMART. WOW they do it right (Notice where Wal-Mart gets their gasoline!)
WHERE TO BUY AMERICAN GASOLINE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. READ ON.
Are you aware that the Saudis are boycotting American products? In addition, they are gouging us on oil prices.
Shouldn't we return the favor? Can't we take control of our own destiny and let these giant oil importers know who REALLY generates their profits, their livings? How about leaving American Dollars in America and reduce the import/export deficit?
An appealing remedy might be to boycott their GAS. Every time you fill up your car you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia . Just purchase gas from companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis.
Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill up my tank, I'm sending my money to people who I get the impression want me, my family and my friends dead.
The following gas companies import Middle Eastern oil:
Shell...................................... 205,742,000 barrels Chevron/Texaco.................... 144,332,000 barrels Exxon /Mobil.......................... 130,082,000 barrels Marathon/Speedway............. 117,740,000 barrels Amoco................................... 62,231,000 barrels
Shell...................................... 205,742,000 barrels Chevron/Texaco.................... 144,332,000 barrels Exxon /Mobil.......................... 130,082,000 barrels Marathon/Speedway............. 117,740,000 barrels Amoco................................... 62,231,000 barrels
And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela by Dictator Hugo Chavez who hates America and openly avows our economic destruction! (We pay Chavez's regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues!)
The U.S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from OPEC. If you do the math at $100 per barrel, that's over $550 million PER DAY ($200 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose members are our confirmed enemies! It won't stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we keep buying their product.
Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:

*Sold at Wal-Mart , gas is from South Arkansas and fully USA owned and produced.
*Not only that but they give scholarships to all children in their town who finish high school and are legal US citizens.
All of this information is available from the U.S. Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing.
Thanks to Michael McAdams for sending me this informtation
