The web site of Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has a section that is raising eyebrows. The YouCut pages allow you to vote on what program you believe should be cut.
Dead trees litter the forests providing fuel wood for fires.
One of the programs would terminate “environmental literacy” programs run by the Forest Service. These include “Green Schools” which “empowers students to lead the movement of sustainability and environmental responsibility at school, at home and in their community.” This means, of course, indoctrinating kids that wildlife killing windmills will save the polar bears from global warming. The savings of cutting this program would be and estimated $50 million over ten years.
Another cut in this area that might be suggested is cutting the locks that close forest roads so people can cut fuel wood that lays on the ground in the form of dead trees. The Constitution does not allow the federal government to keep citizens of a State out of their forests and off of their roads.
Some are concerned within the forest service that cutting this program might cause Smokey the Bear and Woodsy Owl to get the pink slip. It seems that these two legendary logos will serve to represent America more than ever.
Another program under fire that could save $18 million over ten years is a program that gives bonuses to States to recruit people into the food stamp program. The Department of Agriculture’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as the Food Stamp program) pays state governments bonuses for recruiting additional people to sign up for food stamps. Each year, states with the highest percentage of eligible participants enrolled in the program split $12 million in bonus funds. Additionally, the Department awards another $6 million in bonus money to states that are the fastest at signing up new program applicants. As of August, 2011, nearly 46 million Americans were on food stamps, or 15 percent of the population. Benefit costs were over $71 billion between September of 2010 and August of 2011. Program participation has grown steadily since the economic downturn began, and increased by 8 percent in 2011. There is no need to pay states for increasing the number of food stamp recipients they enroll in the program. This could be why Arizona gives food stamps based on race with the lowest rates going to elderly white women who only qualify for about $16 a month after spending their whole life paying the taxes for this program.
Another section of the web site gives you the status on various cutting legislation in Congress.
“This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you’re-on-your-own individualism for everyone else.” – Bernie Sanders (I-VT)
The first ever GAO(Government Accountability Office) audit of the Federal Reserve was carried out in the past few months due to the Ron Paul, Alan Grayson Amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill, which passed last year. Jim DeMint, a Republican Senator, and Bernie Sanders, an independent Senator, led the charge for a Federal Reserve audit in the Senate, but watered down the original language of the house bill (HR1207), so that a complete audit would not be carried out. Ben Bernanke(pictured to the right), Alan Greenspan, and various other bankers vehemently opposed the audit and lied to Congress about the effects an audit would have on markets. Nevertheless, the results of the first audit in the Federal Reserve’s nearly 100 year history were posted on Senator Sander’s webpage earlier this morning.
What was revealed in the audit was startling:
$16,000,000,000,000.00 had been secretly given out to US banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve had secretly bailed out many of the world’s banks, corporations, and governments. The Federal Reserve likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest. Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or even informed the United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar bailout is obvious – the American public would have been outraged to find out that the Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while Americans were struggling to find jobs.
“Everybody here has a vote, If we go back and we keep the eye on the prize. Let’s take these sons of bitches out and give America back to America where we belong.”
Hoffa’s Labor day celebratory statement is causing consternation of the press without revealing the stupidity of his statement.
We could first point out that Labor Day is a holiday formed to celebrate communism installed by Woodrow Wilson. You know, “Worker’s of the world, Unite!”
Secondly, the statement that he made refers to the very object of the original concept of the TEA Party. The TEA party is NOT an extension of the Republican party which is no more Republican than the Democrats. The TEA party is a grassroots group of people who are fighting to restore the Constitution of the United States of America; NOT the Manifesto of the Communist Party.
“I will never apologize for standing up for my fellow Teamsters and all American workers,” he is quoted as saying in the Death+Taxes web site. How are you fighting for the American worker? The tactic of destroying companies and sending jobs to foreign countries because you’re too lazy to get a real job doesn’t seem to be working.
“My comments on Labor Day in Detroit echo the anger and frustration of American workers who are under attack by corporate-funded politicians who want to destroy the middle class.” I didn’t see any corporate-funded politicians beating up protestors against unconstitutional Obamacare. Union members were. Corporate-funded politicians were voting it into law.
Our forefathers fought a war to ensure our protections against those tyrannic principles listed in the Declaration of Independence. The Federalists wrote volumes of letters to assure us that our freedoms and rights would be secure with the ratification of the Constitution. The TEA Party simply supports the Federalist Union.
In an article in The New York Times on August 19th titled “The North Dakota Miracle,” Catherine Rampell writes:
Forget the Texas Miracle. Let’s instead take a look at North Dakota, which has the lowest unemployment rate and the fastest job growth rate in the country.
According to new data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics today, North Dakota had an unemployment rate of just 3.3 percent in July—that’s just over a third of the national rate (9.1 percent), and about a quarter of the rate of the state with the highest joblessness (Nevada, at 12.9 percent).
North Dakota has had the lowest unemployment in the country (or was tied for the lowest unemployment rate in the country) every single month since July 2008.
Its healthy job market is also reflected in its payroll growth numbers. . . . [Y]ear over year, its payrolls grew by 5.2 percent. Texas came in second, with an increase of 2.6 percent.
Why is North Dakota doing so well? For one of the same reasons that Texas has been doing well: oil.
Oil is certainly a factor, but it is not what has put North Dakota over the top. Alaska has roughly the same population as North Dakota and produces nearly twice as much oil, yet unemployment in Alaska is running at 7.7 percent. Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming have all benefited from a boom in energy prices, with Montana and Wyoming extracting much more gas than North Dakota has. The Bakken oil field stretches across Montana as well as North Dakota, with the greatest Bakken oil production coming from Elm Coulee Oil Field in Montana. Yet Montana’s unemployment rate, like Alaska’s, is 7.7 percent.
A number of other mineral-rich states were initially not affected by the economic downturn, but they lost revenues with the later decline in oil prices. North Dakota is the only state to be in continuous budget surplus since the banking crisis of 2008. Its balance sheet is so strong that it recently reduced individual income taxes and property taxes by a combined $400 million, and is debating further cuts. It also has the lowest foreclosure rate and lowest credit card default rate in the country, and it has had NO bank failures in at least the last decade.
If its secret isn’t oil, what is so unique about the state?
When the mainstream media is reporting stories like this, you know it is so serious that it cannot be ignored, even if they wanted to.
Today Bloomberg has revealed that the “Wall Street Aristocracy” received a staggering $1.2 trillion in loans. Yes, you read that right: $1.2 trillion.
The private Federal Reserve calls these hand-outs to their corporate cronies “emergency loans” but in reality they are nothing more than friends giving friends unfathomable amounts of money in order to “keep the economy from plunging into depression”.
Of course Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Bloomberg opt to characterize the giveaway of public funds as legitimate “unprecedented efforts” to help our withering economy, when this is far from the case as we have seen from the entire “stimulus” package that has just driven American deeper into the black hole of debt.

(CNSNews.com) – In just four days last week, President Barack Obama’s administration increased the national debt by more in inflation-adjusted dollars than the administrations of Presidents Harry Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower increased the national debt over the entire decade of the 1950s.
At the start of business on Tuesday, Aug. 2, according to the Daily Treasury Statement, the national debt subject to the legal limit was $14.293975 trillion. Obama signed legislation that day lifting the limit by as much as $2.4 trillion—with an initial and immediate increase in the limit of $400 billion. By the close of business on Friday, Aug. 5, according to the Daily Treasury Statement, the national debt subject to the limit had grown to $14.536130 trillion.
Over just four days, the debt had jumped $242.155 billion.
Well, we don’t think casino magnate Steve Wynn will be attending any President Obama fundraisers in Las Vegas.
Wynn blasted Obama on a recent conference call with investors, saying business people are sitting on their money out of “fear of the president.”
“I’m telling you that the business community in this company is frightened to death of the weird political philosophy of the President of the United States,” Wynn said. “And until he’s gone, everybody’s going to be sitting on their thumbs.”
This should be a surprise to the people who still think that the Federal Reserve is a “government agency.” The fact is they are private bankers and rich people from around the world trying to enslave you. Of course, if YOU put money in an overseas bank, you can expect visits by Wiener’s government agencies.

On June 30, QE2 ended with a whimper. The Fed’s second round of “quantitative easing” involved $600 billion created with a computer keystroke for the purchase of long-term government bonds. But the government never actually got the money, which went straight into the reserve accounts of banks, where it still sits today. Worse, it went into the reserve accounts of FOREIGN banks, on which the Federal Reserve is now paying 0.25 percent interest.
Before QE2 there was QE1, in which the Fed bought $1.25 trillion in mortgage-backed securities from the banks. This money, too, remains in bank reserve accounts collecting interest and dust. The Fed reports that the accumulated excess reserves of depository institutions now total nearly $1.6 trillion. Continue reading “QE2 Shocker: The Whole $600 Billion Wound Up Offshore” »
In his numerous fund-raising and policy speeches around the country these days, President Obama often bemoans the difficult economic times and uncertainties afflicting millions of Americans, including the nearly 14 million still seeking work unsuccessfully.
The Democrat argues that his administration needs more time to straighten out the economic mess left by somebody else, who’s been gone almost 900 days now.
But good news this morning: The challenging Obama era and 9.1% national unemployment rate do not include the 454 people now helping President Obama do presidential things.
This crowd is being paid a total of $37,121,463 this year. That’s up seven staff members and nearly $4 million from 2008, the last year of George W. Bush’s presidency.
Fully 141 Obama aides — or nearly one-in-three — earn more than $100,000 a year. That’s also up from the 130 with that scale salary in Bush’s last year.
Twenty-one Obama aides earn the top-dollar $172,200.
The staff names and salaries report, required annually by Congress, was released on Friday by the White House. The timing, however, was probably an accident because last Friday most Americans were not watching the news closely and were thinking of not working for a three-day holiday weekend.the Obamas wave to White House partygoers 7-4-11
The Separation of Church and State poster child—Thomas Jefferson—is quoted as saying, “To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
The Republican-controlled house has created a list of budget cuts. The White House contends these cuts represent cuts in services that will destroy the lives of every American (paraphrased). It is much better to leave the People destitute and penniless in return for these important services. Continue reading “Budget cuts objectionable to the White House” »
(CNSNews.com) – A new study says drilling on Alaska’s Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) could make Alaska the eighth largest oil resource province in the world — ahead of Nigeria, Libya, Russia and Norway.
The report — by the consulting firm Northern Economics and the University of Alaska-Anchorage’s Institute of Social and Economic Research — says that developing Alaska’s OCS could produce almost 10 billion barrels of oil and 15 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, create around 55,000 new jobs and produce $145 billion in new payroll nationally, generating a total of $193 billion in government revenue through the year 2057.
A senior policy advisor with the American Petroleum Institute, the trade group for hundreds of U.S. oil and gas producers, said in a statement about the study that offshore drilling for oil and natural gas can help with the country’s energy and economic needs.
Another sign of the “New World Order?” The Germans buying the New York Stock Exchange. This government has destroyed the industry of America, sold the auto industry (our last remaining major industry) overseas, and installed a communist health rationing system and now are selling our economic markets to the highest bidder.
Achtung Baby! NYSE To Go Deutsch In Biggest Merger On The Planet Historically, the urge to merge has coincided with major stock market tops
On February 15 Deutsche Boerse AG slipped a $9.53 billion all-stock bid on the “finger” of the New York Stock Exchange. If approved, the merger would create what one news site called “the Goliath Bourse” — or the largest stock exchange on the planet.
So, there’s no time like the present to start learning a few key German phrases to welcome Wall Street’s would-be financial in-laws. The four expressions below make for a fitting introduction:
Wunderbar: “Wonderful,” “super,” “out of this world.”
According to the mainstream experts, the creation of the behemoth German/American bourse is an UBER-bullish event, and reflects the global economic recovery. Here, the following news items capture the overall optimism surrounding the merger:
* New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg: “This is one of the better things for New York because what you’ll do is you’ll have the two strongest stock exchanges together… This is really very good.” (NY Post)
* AND — “It seems as if the market has a very strong bid under stock prices. [Mergers & Acquisitions] is a market that people are trying to get back involved with.” (Bloomberg)
Bloomberg is praising the country that brought us the Wiemar Republic which led to the rise of Hitler.
Doppelganger: “A double, or look-alike.”
The mega-deal-zeal surrounding the potential Deutsche/NYSE merger is a spitting image of another time in recent financial history: the year 2007. Back then, M&A activity had soared to an all-time record high, valuing over $1.33 trillion. And much like today, the main focus of consolidation was on global unification. “Merger Mania Is Back With A Vengeance” said a March 30, 2007, Independent cover story, as every one from airlines to metal mines, and banks to bourses aimed to bring east and west together.
The culminating event came in April 2007, with the $14 billion merger of the NYSE and Euronext to create the first trans-Atlantic financial market AND largest stock exchange in the world.
