Poor Little House of Representative Moran Complaining About his Paycheck

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/04/04/cry-me-river-retiring-moran-says-congress-is-underpaid/



       Hello, I know that there is a lot of important things happening like issues with the Russians, Iran, and some other things.  I have not been blogging about those issues because it is the same thing over and over again.  Russians and the U.S. have always been on a tightrope, they are always going to find something to argue about like Syria, Iran, and now Siberia.  The point is that they should both not be meddling in other peoples business in which both countries have still yet to learn.

      Anyways, this conversation is going to be about a dear little representative who has panties in a bunch over the salary he makes in Congress.  Dear little Jim Moran a Democratic Representative from Virginia is complaining about his salary.  Well I think 174,000 dollars is enough for you to live off of because normally they have other practices they all had other occupations before this.  

      In addition, being a Congressman was not suppose to be a career it was suppose to be a temporary thing.  However, today politicians staff in office for long periods of time and they dictate what goes on every year.  Congressmen and women should have term limits to prevent the government from gaining so much power.  Term limits need to be established so that people still have a voice about other real problems.  Instead of debating abortion and death penalty you should be focused on bringing jobs back to Americans.  

     I guarantee that if we had term limits half of the crap that has been passed would not have been passed. Like the healthcare law because the majority of the people opposed then they would have listened and vetoed.  Furthermore, Obama would be impeached by now because of the countless violations he has committed against the constitution in regards to what he can do within his presidential powers.

    Lastly, if there were term limits then we would not have the same debates over the same issues that are not necessary.  Instead we would have debates on how to solve the real problems that are occuring at the moment that are affecting everybody.

Executive Orders: President Obama, Jimmy Carter, and Ronald Reagan

Hello, to whomever views this blog.  It has been awhile, but today I am writing about Executive Orders.  Executive Orders are used to implement a change immediately to a law or to stop implementing a law.  Presidents have become more adept to use executive orders especially when the Congress is not approving of the goals they want to accomplish.  Executive Orders can be good and bad for Americans. Orders can be good if they are used to acutally help the people and they can be bad if they are used to eliminate the rights of the people or intentionally surpass the governments checks and balances.

Lately, President Obama has come under scrutiny for the issuing of executive orders because they are being used to surpass the checks and balances of the government and to show Congress that he can o what he wants when he wants too.  This is bad because the President is slowly able to take power from the other branches of government who can serve as a check on the executive branch. Furthermore, this could alienate the people because constitutional rights could become limited.

The point I am trying to make is be watchful of President Obama as he uses to further his political goals in which he sometimes hides as a way of helping the people.  These executive orders make him less answerable to the people, the state governments, other branches of the national government, and the media.  

Do not be surprised if he becomes more tyrannical during the last years of his term.

I Don't Think Bill Pascrell Has Got His Facts Straight

Here is the link:  http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/10/04/cut-crap-hannity-takes-democrat-bill-pascrell-over-obamacare-perks-congress     

 Bill Pascrell Democrat of New Jersey claims that all Americans signed up for Obamacare and that a majority of Americans support Obamacare.  Where the hell did he get his facts?  We were forced to sign up because they completely disregarded the Americans point of view.  Americans did not agree with this bill and that is why Democrats lost their seats in the House and Senate.  They chose to lose their seats by not listening to the American people.  
     They get a 72%  subsidy which is unfair to the American people because it is our tax dollars being used for them.  I am happy that it was reported that the some Democrats and Republicans opted out of the subsidy.
     Furthermore, Bill Pascrell thinks that Republicans are waving the white flag for the poor and the unions.  However, that is not the case they just listen to what the people want.  In some ways he is right because the government would not have gotten this big if it was not for Republicans giving up.  Now the people are suffering, this government shutdown is proof of it.  The 1995 shutdown was proof of the Democrats having control of Congress for more than 40 years.  They spent too much money and now they are suffering. 
     In conclusion, Bill Pascrell was not telling the truth, he has no right to speak for the American people.  The American people did not want this because they do not believe that the feds can handle the workload.  They cannot, they are slow.  States should have been given the power and the money to initialize healthcare for those that cannot be covered and they are quicker at providing service and it will be cheaper.  Arizona is a perfect example of AHCCCS working.  The Native American Health Care service is a perfect indicator of how the feds are going to run the program and that is slow. I have a friend that says she has to wait a long time to get service.

Increase Benefits with A Cost

So Congress has decided that they want to increase benefits to people that are receiving Social Security and Medicare. However, all this benefits are going to come at a high cost. Taxes are going to increase, the Congress is going to increase taxes so they could pay for all these benefits. As a result, inflation is going to occur and the people that are going to be affected the most are the poor people.

The poor people are going to impacted because Congress is going to decrease the amount of people that are going to receive aid. They have to decrease aid in areas that affect them the most. Like Head Start programs, Food Stamps and other forms.

Now before you start trying to blame a party. Look at it this way. One, Republicans hold a majority in House of Reps. Two, Democrats hold a majority in the Senate. Congress has decided that this was the only solution, but there is more solutions then what they think. This is similar to what happen in Jimmy Carter's time and Ronald Reagan decreased taxes in order to get inflation down.

History tends to repeat itself. People may think it is cool that Social Security and Medicare got increased, but in the end it is the same before the benefits were increased. Taxes increase and so does the price to live.

Crazy Republicans

http://gothamist.com/2011/09/15/james_carville_to_president_obama_t.php

This guy had the nerve to say that he does not want any crazy Republicans running the country. I guess he is really scared that Republicans might actually win the race. Who is to say that some of Obama's ideas were not crazy. I clearly understand where this guy stands. He is a close-minded individual that will never be able to see a middle ground. James Carville will always be negative towards the other party. At least I may be a Republican, but I want to see the benefits of both sides and that bad parts of ideas.

He is like some of t
hose Republicans and Democrats that do not want to compromise so that they could help the American people. He is clearly a portrait of the narrow-minded individuals in office that are hurting our nation. Put aside the thoughts of your campaign to be re-elected and start thinking about the citizens. If people do not re-elect you, you need to let them know that what you did was for the best interest of America. We need to start having term limits on the Representatives and the Senators.


By the way Republicans will fire right back at you James Carville for ignorantly attacking the Republicans the way you did. You obviously have no sense in what you said and how politically incorrect you were you idiot. I have some arguments that I would love to present to a narrow-minded guy like you. At least I can see in the middle of things.

Finally Someone that Speaks the Truth


http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial-page/article513761.ece


I am so happy to be able to finally read an article that speaks the truth. The President and the Congress are both to blame for the reason why there is still a high unemployment percent. They made a big deal about the debt ceiling while Wall Street is suffering. This article talks about how employers and Wall Street are not able to expand because they have no confidence in the government resolving the issues. Obama has not reassured us that everything is going to be fine. If the government has no hope than the people are not going to have a hope. As a result, of no hope, no one is going to spend. Also no one is going to hire new people.

I have been trying to find a job since I graduated from high school and I have only had two temporary jobs. That is better than some, but I need a stabl
e income and I cannot get that if no one is hiring.

The President and Congress are the ones to blame for their being no jobs not Wall Street. Whether we like to admit it or not those people on Wall Street work hard for their money as we all should do. This country was built on hard work, earning your way to make a living. However, during the times we have become more dependent
on the government to resolve the issues and take over our responsibilities.

We should try to work for our money and I want to work for money.
Right now I am living off of my mom and I hate it so much. I want to go to school and work at the same time, but the only thing I am doing is going to school. No one will hire me and I am stuck. If the government gets their out of their butts than we can solve these issues, and get rid of the party lines and work together.


The government should ease the restrictions on business and get those unions to stop taking advantage of city governments and corporate. So they can do their jobs to get more workers, I am not asking to get rid of unions, but they need to reel them in.


The President and the Congress need to realiz
e that they are going to have to compromise. IF you want to increase taxes on the corporations and rich than you are going to have to lesson the regulations on them a bit.

Please lets get over the party lines and compromise because you are hurting Americans on both sides, we are tired of suffering!!!

Anthony Weiner

I have been hearing on the news about this US Representative Anthony Weiner, I am sure we all have been hearing about it. Well, my opinion on him sending pictures of himself to other women. We all know that it was wrong of him to send those photos and that he lied to the American people.

However, I do not think that he should resign from office. I think that the press, politicians, and the American people forget that he is a human being and he is not going to be perfect. By the way, what Congressman has not lied to the American people, I am pretty sure they have all done it. I do not think that he should resign from office because it has nothing to do with his post as a Representative. Also he is not going to be perfect, if we got rid of everyone for lying, we would have no representatives.

Him cheating on his wife is not the American peoples business, so get over it. I am pretty sure some adulterous Americans are being hypocrites out there too. I think that there marriage can be saved and worked out if the press just leaves it alone. He has the right to step down or not and I do not think that he should. The Ethics Committee in Congress said that it does not violate any of the rules, so he should not have to step down.


By the way if you are thinking that I am a liberal you are wrong because I know that some folks when reading this post are saying stupid Democrat (because I do that too sometimes)
