You want to see a hockey-stick graph? Try this unemployment chart, as businesses retract in fear over
To the Congress:
health tax mandates, cap-and-trade, card check, and heaven knows what else. In December, 6,130,000
workers had been unemployed for 27 weeks or more -- another Obama record. That's the highest total
since they started keeping track in 1948.

Whom Despots Fear

How did we survive?

In December, there were also nearly one million "discouraged" workers. Those are the folks who've given
up looking for work and are therefore not counted in the official stats. You guessed it: it's another Obama
record -- the highest level ever recorded.

25 state unemployment insurance funds are already broke and 15 more states are on track to go bust
within 24 months. States are now borrowing tens of billions from the federal government, which also is
guaranteeing all losses incurred by the "job shop for unemployed Democrats" called Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac.

What really happened

Thomas Jefferson on Hannity

More than 37 million Americans currently receive food stamps with around 20,000 joining the club each and
every day. Never mind that unchecked use of food stamps encourages dependency, single-parent families
and crime. Those are facts, you see, and unimportant to Democrats. Luxury Cars Abandoned in Dubai

Exclusive: the final ACORN sting

Newsreel from the near future

Public-sector unions like the SEIU have rung up some unbelievably outrageous bills for states, counties and
cities. And many locales are simply going broke, burdened with underfunded pension plans and overly rich
compensation packages. For example, more than 6,100 retired California government workers receive
pensions in excess of $100,000 from CalPERS. The states' unfunded liabilities: as much as $3.2 trillion.

The financial system needs regulation!

The delightful Democrat inventions of Social Security and Medicare are doomed. Millions of baby boomers

are retiring and the trillions they poured into the systems during their working years were stolen by
bureaucrats -- swept into the general fund and spent. There's no way to make the math work. It's that blog advertising is good for you

"We're sorry": Obama voters have regrets

 Meltdown

The U.S. federal debt has exploded since 2006, doubling in three years to $12.3 trillion and headed much,
much higher with the proposed Obama budgets. Who will purchase the debt? What will happen when
interest rates inevitably rise, adding huge additional interest payments to the debt? Just thank a
Democrat.

Mission Accomplished: Obama nukes economy

How has the government responded to this dire situation? Has it tightened its belt? Hell, no. Last week,
Senate Democrats last week raised the debt ceiling, which will allow the U.S. national debt to reach
approximately $14.3 trillion. That's $48,000 for every man, woman and child in the country.

Obama Comix: Barack & Tony Rezko

Obamonopoly

So how is the U.S. funding its operations? Why, through a massive Ponzi scheme that would make Bernard
Madoff blush. The Federal Reserve bought nearly 80 percent of all U.S. Treasuries issued in 2009. In other
words, the entire Democrat-controlled government is a pyramid scheme -- and taxpayers are the suckers at
the bottom. Prescription for Disaster

*********

99 weeks of unemployment compensation. Unchecked welfare payments. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Disastrous socialized retirement and health care systems that are nothing more than gigantic Ponzi
schemes.

Holder's Chickens Come Home to Roost

And that's before socialized medicine, cap-and-trade, card check and other disastrous policies -- hawked
incessantly by the Party of Economic Destruction -- that simply choke free enterprise.

Republicans have more balls than Titlest to say that we are causing the economic downturn??? Health
care will cut the deficit, save lives (nothing but wars appeal to you I realize) and is necessary for a moral
country like ours. Bush undid all regulatory limits on business and they stole us blind!!!! They did more
damage to our country than six attacks on WTC and look how much we have spent on two wars for 3,000
deaths!!!! That's Republicans! War is where it's at!!! With the democrats in power our country will go
from Cold War trigger happiness to taking care of it's own people, with jobs, health care and safer

40,000 people each year die from crappy to no health care. That is 100 times as many that died in the
World Trade Center bombings by Bin Laden. If Bin Laden came here, did to us what the banking,
insurance, Republican congress and President did over the last 8 years there would be some immediate Can your family afford more Democrats?

action taken. If Bin Laden killed 40,000 EVERY year (no health care) then another 100,000 EVERY year
(unsanitary/unsafe hospital procedures) then cost us 8 million jobs, caused millions of Americans to lose
their pensions, savings and homes from lack of regulation, don't you think something would get done to
stop it!??? As it now stands, everything trying to be done to correct these disasters are being obstructed
by, GUESS WHO-the Republicans. THANKS glad you love America so much!!!!Bastards!!!!!

Dead cops, dead Marines and their killers
Carol and Carol,

Both of you are too ignorant to see where we are headed as an economy. You have been blinded by
socialist teachings with no history tossed in. Go back and look at all of the countries that have tried
socialism and where they are today as an economy. You both are foolish boors.

Socialism? Is this what you have to say every time you hear something sensible, like saving human lives
through safer, cleaner hospital practices, better health care coverage and fewer wars? Are you out of
your rabit-assed minds???

LOOK UP SOCIALISM AND STUDY WHAT REALLY TRULY HAPPENED WHEN SOCIALISM TAKES OVER. There is
a huge difference between it and what we are doing. Take a look at all the other countries with great
Fannie Mae testimony
health care and safe hospitals.....Are they running around with handcuffs on marching with legs out
straight, working for the state, staying home on Sunday mornings cuz they can't worship???? NO no no
and no. They are happily planning how they will spend their own hard earned money on vacations and
new BMW's since they don't have to spend $1200 a month on health care and $120,000 on college
educations. And they can go to the hospital and come out alive because their Doctors remember to
wash their hands.

I am really angry with you Republicans for trying to prevent these great changes just so you can destroy

Carol M. - thank you for visiting the site and your thoughtful response.

Our country's socialized programs are broke. In fact, every country's socialized programs are going broke.
Heard of the "sovereign debt problem"?
Jamie Gorelick, Mistress of Disaster

Consider the credit ratings of the major countries of the world.

One by one, they are set to default on their bonds, some sooner rather than later. What this means, in a
nutshell,

The Founders of our country defied a centralized, authoritarian government in the British Crown. They
established a Constitution that created the greatest society, the richest society, the most classless
Official ACORN employment app
society ever seen on Earth.

Since the 1930's, the firewalls of the Constitution have been eroded. Now we debate nationalized health
care when Social Security, years ahead of schedule, is already broke.

Carol, my friend, time's up. The U.S. is broke. And other countries are in even worse shape. Unless you
want our children and grandchildren to live in poverty and misery, it's time to return to Constitutional
 government. Six degrees of Barack Obama

Unfortunately the ignorant morons holding our highest offices seem to think that for the first time in
the world's history they can make their form of socialism bear fruit.

God save us from these pinheads.

socialism An economic and political system based on collective or state ownership of the means of Ten Worst Brands of All Time
production and distribution–although, like capitalism, the system takes many and diverse forms.

Our government is trying to offer health care that saves money, has 8% overhead compared to private
healthcare with 33% overhead. Why do you want so many people to suffer? Are you guys untouched by
the problems wreaked by the last administration? Nothing has touched you?

OBVIOUSLY, we are not a socialist country. Our businesses and production, distribution are NOT
controlled by governement. However, we DO have successful Veterans health insurance, successful Convicts await stoning deaths in Nigeria

Medicaire, and successful Medicaid. Certainly someone you know receives a Social Security check every
month. This works well also.

QUIT your bitchin' and DO SOMETHING to help during this time of complete and utter crisis!!! Instead you
just say "NO". Do you deny the things I have said here tonight? NO, I didn't think so.....Be ashamed, be
very ashamed...

We are SO going to beat the pants off you in 2012, hate to break it to you. You don't even have half a
candidate yet. Palin? Brown? Gingrich? Maybe Romney, he has raised some millions after all. Your Tea
Partiers are psychotic, and the rest love Beck and Hannity, two very psychotic thinkers. Since you have
nothing to bring up about Obama, he's so much more intelligent than you and your base/candidates, you
have to go off into la-la land and put a Hitler moustache on his photograph like school children!! Get a
life, DO Something to HELP the situation and then a candidate will emerge who is sane. Nobody wants
the people above running our country!!! Look what you already accomplished! What can and must be done

At 5:21 AM ,  Duncan Idaho said...

To pose a question, why did the Democrats' inability to pass "health care reform" pinned on the
Republicans? Did they not have 60 votes? How can a minority party obstruct a clear majority that can
invoke cloture to end attempts at filibustering a bill?

Carol, your side had the majority and all the afforded opportunity to accomplish such, but can't. Explain
Real Men of Congress Series
why?

If your side will beat the Republicans, why are you sounding like you're panicking?
