Give a hug to China and blow a kiss to Germany because we need their money

The word ‘uncertainty‘ keeps coming up as a reason why businesses don’t invest and take risk to create jobs. We have two 2,000 plus page bills now that we had to pass ‘to see what they do’. They each create hundreds of new agencies and will generate thousands of new rules, regulations and unknown costs. And there are more in the mill like cap and trade, amnesty for illegals, and union pension bailouts. Uncertainty is not the word, scary is the word.

A leftist Obama supporter says Obama is anti-business

The plain and simple truth is that Obama is a Marxist. He told us in the campaign that he wanted to ’spread the wealth around’. He sat at the feet of avowed Marxist Jeremiah Wright for 20 years and claimed him as a mentor. He had a self proclaimed communist revolutionary on his White House staff as a ‘Green Jobs’ czar in Van Jones. In his own book Obama states that he sought out ‘The Marxist Professors’ in college and points out that he ‘went to socialist conferences’. His science czar, Holdren, and his recent appointment to Medicare & Medicaid, Berwick have both espoused beliefs in the ’spread the wealth’ philosophy which is Marxism. Marxism is inherently anti-business.

SEIU union spends $500,000 in local election, may reach $1,000,000 – a sign of the times?

This SEIU case is a classic example of taxpayer money being recycled via union dues of public paid employees to then be spent to control the government so that more taxpayer money can go to union wages and benefits of public employees so that more dues can go to control the government. This is a microcosm of what is happening all across America.

Michele Bachmann plans to expose the corruption

“I think that all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another. And expose all the nonsense that has gone on. Bachmann said in her remarks yesterday that “all of our chips are on November.” “If we don’t get it back and then starve the beast – the House, we have the power of the purse – so we can starve ObamaCare,” she said. “We don’t have to fund any of these programs and that’s exactly what we need to do – defund all of this nonsense and then unwind it.”
