My Demented Space

A Libertarian's Point of View

From the Office of Managemment and Budget

I posted to Twitter yesterday facts of the bankruptcy of the United States if we do not curb the spending spree of the current administration. This morning I find the Wikipedia page to have changed to omit the OMB information thus making George W. Bush the President with the highest deficit spending. Digging a lillte deeper I found what I needed:

What is truly alarming is the percentage to GDP Obama is causing. We cannot allow for the United States to go bankrupt and that is exactly what is going to happen unless the spending stops or Obama gets the VAT on top of all the other taxes he is raising.

Harry Reid Letter to Fellow Nevadans “Today our nation won a tremendous victory….”

Please call Harry Reid’s office and tell him how much this SUCKS!

March 23, 2010

Dear Fellow Nevadan,
Today our nation won a tremendous victory when President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act into law. This historic health reform legislation will improve the lives of millions of Americans, and is truly great news for Nevada’s families and small businesses, who will see lower premiums on their existing plans and new, more affordable options.
It is good news for the more than 600,000 Nevadans who will now be able to receive quality, affordable health care to keep themselves and their families healthy. It is good news for more than 50,000 Nevada seniors who will be able to get cheaper prescription drugs, no longer have to fear the Medicare “Doughnut Hole” gap in coverage, and see Medicare’s solvency extended by nearly a decade without cutting even a dime of guaranteed benefits. It is good news for Nevada residents who will receive $5 billion in tax credits to purchase private insurance within the first five years of this bill’s enactment. And it is good news for future generations because it reduces deficits by nearly $1.4 trillion over the next 20 years.

This legislation provides consumers with more protection and more choice, and ensures that medical decisions are made by patients and doctors, not insurance companies. And it means that we don’t have to face the double-digit premium increases – some as high as 60% – that would have occurred had we done nothing to reform our health insurance industry. This is a real-life impact for so many Nevadans and Americans.

The Senate has worked closely with the House to make this good bill even better, and we plan to finish our work as soon as possible. While there is one more leg of this journey to complete this week, I wanted to write Nevadans today to talk about what is in this legislation for them. Please read the information below and visit my website to learn more about how this historic legislation with improve the lives of Nevadans like you.

Dingell Obama Care to “Control the People”

Amendment 28 Read this you Progressives

FINALLY SOMEONE ASKED HIM THE QUESTION!
ON “ABC-TV” Monday October 12, 2009
DURING THE “NETWORK SPECIAL ON HEALTH CARE”…. OBAMA WAS ASKED:

“MR PRESIDENT WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM
AND JOIN THE NEW ‘UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM’ THAT THE REST OF US WILL BE ON ????”
THERE WAS A STONEY SILENCE AS OBAMA IGNORED THE QUESTION AND CHOSE NOT TO ANSWER IT !!!
IN ADDITION, A NUMBER OF SENATORS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND THEIR ESPONSE WAS.”WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT.”
AND THEY DID. IT WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY ON THE NEWS THAT THE “KENNEDY HEALTH CARE BILL” WAS WRITTEN INTO THE NEW HEALTH CARE REFORM INITIATIVE ENSURING THAT THAT CONGRESS WILL BE 100% EXEMPT !

SO, THIS GREAT NEW HEALTH CARE PLAN THAT IS GOOD FOR YOU AND I… IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR OBAMA, HIS FAMILY OR CONGRESS…?
WE (THE AMERICAN PUBLIC) NEED TO STOP THIS PROPOSED DEBACLE ASAP !!!! THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG !!!!!
PERSONALLY, I CAN ONLY ACCEPT A UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL THAT EXTENDS TO EVERYONE… NOT JUST US LOWLY CITIZENS…. WHILE THE WASHINGTON “ELITE” KEEP RIGHT ON WITH THEIR GOLD-PLATED HEALTH CARE COVERAGES.
If you don’t pass this around, may you enjoy his Plan!

Amendment 28

Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .

Vote November 2010 Every Incumbent Out!

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses

The year is 1947

You may recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico . This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr..
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer

See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses?
I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me.

No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!

Now that we have Government health care It will take this Professor to explain it to us

Reciprocating Dingle Arm

This is a very funny and classic presentation organized by Rockwell International. Read the introduction before clicking on the video link below.

Several years ago, Rockwell International decided to get into the heavy duty transmission business. They were getting ready to tape a first introduction video, and, as a warm up, the professional narrator began what has become a legend within the trucking industry. This man should have won an Emmy for his stellar performance. Now remember this is strictly off the cuff, nothing is written down. It became the biggest talk in the industry, vs. the new product which they were introducing.

President Obama and the Democrats in congress have hired him to explain their version of health care reform to the American people.
