Bush Spent Too Much Money?!?!

I figured if I started it that way, I could get all the people who thought that the "idiot" Bush or the "retard" Bush messed up this country!  He spent so much money on two wars that we had no business getting into.

I would be remiss if I didn't start off by saying that I was one of those who believed the aforementioned "misinformation".  I excoriated President Bush along with all of the other liberals and/or progressives who believed that he had no business keeping this country safe.  That is not the point of my discussion today though.  I must however, point out that President Obama has not changed course in President Bush's military policy.  We remain in Iraq and in Afghanistan.

All I keep hearing lately is, "we need to give him a chance to fix what that idiot did" or "he's doing his best"... WHAT?!?!  Is that it?  Is that all you have to say about President Obama going on a spending spree, the likes of which we have not seen before in the history of this country or the world for that matter.  The angering effect of statements such as those are two fold.  First, no one had a problem with expressing dissent or worse, animosity, contempt, disdain, etc, for President Bush when he spent money to keep us safe, which is the primary responsibility of our "Commander in Chief"!  Secondly, during the first couple of months of the current administration, I began to notice a trend.  Every left-leaning individual and every liberal news organization were apt to decry all of President Bush's actions and defend those of President Obama's... in itself that is all well and good, but I noticed that it was being done without explanations or facts given to those of us being exposed to the diatribe or praise.

If I offer any kind of dissenting remark, it is met with "you're a racist", "you're just not ready for a black president", "you're being unfair", "Bush had eight years", "you're such a republican", and best of all "you're a communist!"  But I digress...  I am going to show you how a patriotic Libertarian, with respect for others' opinions and the liberty (for now) to back up his arguments with FACTS and not deflect by accusing someone of racism for disagreeing with how monies are being appropriated in our current economic implosion, refutes a statement like "Bush spent too much money" and proves one like "What the hell is Obama thinking with all of this spending?!?!"

Let me start off by saying that this is information I have gathered from the NON-PARTISAN Congressional Budget Office.  You can review the actual and projected budget deficits for the next 10 years, here http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/105xx/doc10521/budgetprojections.pdf).  Does anyone feel like I've accused you of racism yet?  No?  Ok then, let's begin.  I should state quickly that the budget deficit is the amount by which we are over spending... that is, the negative difference between the revenue of the country (in the form of taxes and such) and how much we are spending.  So, the projected budget deficit for 2009 (President Obama's first full year in office) is $1.7 trillion dollars.  The deficit for 2008?  $640 billion... less than half.  Moreover, the 2008 budget deficit is exacerbated dramatically by the first stimulus package which was under Bush's watch.  To put things into perspective for all you Bush haters, the amount we are OVER spending this year is more than twice the bank roll for the entire 7 year Iraq war!

If no one is feeling like I am calling them a mobster, a racist, or a Swastika yielding extremist yet, I'd like to continue instead with some actual facts (please take note Olbermann and Garafolo).

  • Our current national debt is $11.7 trillion dollars
  • Over the next ten years, we will be adding $9 trillion
  • Every trillion dollars we add to the accumulated deficit or DEBT, means an extra $50 billion IN INTEREST PER YEAR
  • I am throwing this one in hear as some more candy for you to digest.  This is not a quantifiable result based on the numbers put forth by the CBO, but based off the money we owe and I will find it somewhere darn it!... and the amount of debt we owe China, we are already paying them $800 MILLION dollars per week.  A few more trillion and we will be paying a billion dollars a week just IN INTEREST!

So if I may direct you to my friend Chino's post (http://www.juniorychino.com/2009/07/27/how-much-money-do-you-make/) to put things in perspective of the impact that this profligate spending will have on your life and that of your posterity.

I challenge President Obama's supporters to show us proof of how the administrations plans to spend our way to prosperity.

God Bless America-
Junior

SEE, I TOLD YOU SO!!!

Told ya, Obamacare is dead.. LAME DUCK!!! In a post dated July 30th, I said........

Two points I would like to make Joony…
FIRST OF ALL… <——-inside joke.
I told you not to worry. Obamacare in its present unsustainable form is D-E-D, dead! He is a lame duck flopping down out of the sky after gettin winged by the shotgun of the Cambridge police dept. Doctors are none too happy with him either. So this bill will never reach his desk for him to sign and ratify. It’ll take months, anywhere from Sept-Dec before it even gets consideration, if at all.
Secondly……,
DUDE, we lost, at least my side did, therefore we all lost. (the other side just doesnt know it)
To the victor goes the spoils. Let the idiots have their wacky bills. They’ll turn soon as they see what a sham it is. If we stand in the way and actually prevent it, they will always have the excuse that we never gave it a chance and perpetuate the ”republicans are evil and dont care about anybody” crap. At least this way, we can say ‘’see, i told you so.”
I know the I told you so stuff never helps, but I just have faith in the American people. They know how to spot a con. We can be fooled initially,,but you better produce satisfactory results or we put our foot down!
It’s duck season you wascally wabbit. Somebody call Dick Cheney!!!!

.........Well, It's almost September, wake me up when it ends... check the archives, its there.
It actually was a comment I made to your "You can't have that surgery" post.
Be prepared, this will happen many more times, but Junior Y Chino is in its in infancy.

¿Si Se Puede?

Que' lo que pasa aqui, ah? What's goin' on up in here, up in here!?
Viva Fidel, viva Obama? Is this still AMERICA? What happened to freedom of speech? Now el Presidente Obama has weighed in and wants you to SHUT UP!
I'm talking about whats going on in these town hall meetings around the country... Forgive me if I have it all wrong, but isn't the purpose of these town hall meetings for the people to voice their opinions to their local representatives on what they want THEIR representatives, that represent THEM, to do for them.
I am the first to say, hey we lost the election, they won, its their turn to implement their policies. But does that mean that we lose our voice, our freedom of speech altogether? Don't we still have a say?
Barack Obama says he wants us to get out of the way, he wants us to stop talking because he's fixing our mess... whaaaaaaat? Aren't they the ones during the Bush years that said that dissent is the purest form of patriotism? What about all those anti-Bush protests? And all they were, was ANTI-BUSH. These people are voicing their opinions against the health care bill through the proper channels, not protesting in the streets, which is also our right to do so.
Obama is starting to sound a lot like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and some other guy with a little mustache in his speeches. He is just firing up the people, pitting us against each other in his exuberant speeches. Dividing us more and more with every word, phrase, and voice inflection.
Mi gente, my people, all Americans... this is not what made this country great. This kind of 'leadership' is what led to the rise of dictators all around the world and all throughout time.
This is not America. We are being silenced.
Sure, all the liberals, democrats, leftists, they, you are happy with this, and I kinda get it because he is supporting what you want..... right now. What will happen when he disagrees with you? Or is he perfect and he knows exactly what you want all the time? The day will come when he infringes on you, I promise.

VIVA Bill Clinton!!!

OK, this is going to sound crazy, but I wish Sean Hannity would shut the hell up about Bill Clinton and his rescue mission to North Korea!
To keep it short, it was the easiest and fastest way to get these girls home and Bill didnt even have to do it! It is still dangerous for him to go into hostile territory like N Korea and face their psycho leader!

We can only hope that Obama didnt give up too much to that psycho Kim Jong Il. 2 American lives are worth SOME concessions. Es mas, it shows the world our resolve to do whatever it takes for our citizens!
The funny part is that they have NO respect for our secretary of state Hillary Clinton, ''the primary school girl'' as Kim calls her, and more respect for our FORMER president, than our current one!!!
-Chino

No matter what your opinion of our former commander if chief is... whether you agree or disagree with his previous transgressions or indiscretions, what he did by bringing those women home was great! Anytime we can bring home some our own, it's a great thing! I'm sure it was all pre-planned and bargaining was complete by the time ol' Bill arrived, but he didn't have to go, as Chino already stated, and showed great poise and diplomacy. Where was Hillary is my only question? Well, I guess the Dear Leader would not have liked that idea.

Don’t Miss The Engine!

I saw something very interesting on the Glenn Beck program yesterday. He conducted a visual psychology test by putting up a picture of a military airplane with a large platoon lining up to enter it. They began toggling two frames of the same picture but with only one change to the picture, only they didn't tell you what the change was and asked the audience to identify the change. I looked at that picture for a good 3 minutes and COULD NOT determine what the change was. Glenn then revealed the change and it was a HUGE ENGINE on the left wing, in plain site, that was there and then it wasn't there... and then it was, and then it wasn't. I could not believe what I had just witnessed.

The idea here is that we were not able to see the engine "there and then not there", because of the density of the picture inasmuch as all that was going on in the picture. I admit, I was looking at the individual soldiers, the nose of the plane, I was even looking at the flag on the tail, to see if they were trying to trick us with that little detail! I looked at the vehicles loading baggage, getting ready to taxi, etc.

The point here friends, is that America is a picture, where too much is going on for us to see that the engine is being taken off our wing. This is the reason why our President and legislators want bills to be pushed through and ratified post haste. How many times have you heard President stipulate that we need to move boldly and SWIFTLY. Under the guise of a catastrophic recession, our fundamentals are being taken away. We are being told what we need. We are moving from the federal government down to the people instead of the other way around. I know that our Fathers believe in our Constitutional Republic which postulates that we are righteously represented by our elected leaders, but we must maintain our sovereignty as a people and as individuals, but doing what is necessary to let our leaders know what we want of them. We CANNOT sit around and let our leaders tell us what we need!

W Cleon Skousen wrote, in his book, "The 5,000 Year Leap", the following:

"The Founders recognized that the people cannot delegate to their government any power except that which they have the lawful right to exercise themselves."

See the engine and tell your government that we need it to fly our plane. Don't let them tell you that they have a better alternative or that we need to take it off for our own good.

We have this great power and we are not using it! With great power comes great responsibility!
