Social Security trust fund assets gone by 2037 – four years earlier than originally thought
Medicare and Social Security, the two main safety nets for American retirees, will account for more than 17 percent of the nation’s output by 2083 if left unchecked, according to Bloomberg. 2083? I doubt i’ll be around by then anyway. However, by the year 2037, i fully expect to be around at the ripe old age of 65. Just in time for retirement and social security right? Ummm. Not so much. The Social Security trust fund will run out of assets in 2037, four years sooner than previously forecast, the trustees said yesterday. Medicare’s hospital fund will be exhausted by 2017, two years earlier than predicted a year ago. Now, let me show you a quote from Harry Reid back in the year 2005 when the GOP warned about the impending insolvency:
“Today’s report confirms that the so-called Social Security crisis exists in only one place — the minds of Republicans,” said Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada. “In reality, the program is on solid ground for decades to come.”
Considering what an old wretch Harry Reid is, I guess he has no reason to care either.
Soda taxes and Cheerios – the latest Obama targets
Cereal Makers General Mills, makers of Cheerios cereal has been ‘warned’ by the FDA Because Claim Of Lowering Cholesterol 10 Percent In Month Makes It A “Drug”. How long has Cherrios been using this “lowers cholesterol” in their advertising? Many years from my memory. But all of a sudden now its taboo? Well, Obama certain knows his drugs since he was previously a crack head. Oh and in case you missed it, the Wall Street Journal mentioned earlier in the day that Senate leaders are considering new federal taxes on soda and other sugary drinks to help pay for an overhaul of the nation’s health-care system. Maybe Obama’s FDA should consider a Cheerios “drug” tax too.
Michelle Malkin has a syndicated column today discussing this insanity, porkulus, and other Social Security.
Update on how “well” the porkulus is working for America
Michelle Malkin posts an update for all those interested in seeing how well our “too important to read” stimulus bill is working. Here are is a perfect example of how well the porkulus is working out: Dead people are getting money from the stimulus. Millions of Americans on Social Security are receiving $250 checks as part of the BS stimulus including a woman named Anne Arundel woman who died in 1967. But I guess its not as bad as giving $2.6 million to help Chinese Prositutes how better to handle their liquor. Or pig odor research.
Carrie Prejean keeps her Miss California crown. Sorry liberal/gay marriage whiners – Oh BTW, David Shuster of MSNBC wants to Vomit
Try as you might to defame Carrie Prejean and her Miss California crown liberals and gay marriage groups, you didn’t break The Donald Trump. Miss USA pageant owner Donald Trump announces that Miss California USA Carrie Prejean can keep her title. Miss California USA Carrie Prejean says she was punished for speaking her mind at the national pageant. Thats common knowledge at this point.
And to make this news even better idiot libtard MSNBC’s David Shuster said (from Real Clear Politics):
he wanted to “vomit” after the conclusion of Donald Trump’s announcement that Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean, will keep her title. Shuster said the decision represents “everything that is wrong with the superficial nature” of pageants. “Donald Trump seemed to be saying lying is okay,” he added.
Personally, I want to vomit anytime accidently switch the channel over to MSNBC, or see Michelle Obama’s face, but I don’t have a news program to say such things.
Sgt. John M. Russell charged with murder
Sgt. John M. Russell is the 44-year-old Army sergeant charged with murder and aggravated assault in the shooting at a “combat stress clinic” in Iraq who was on his 3rd tour of duty. As the liberal media continues to eat this up, no one seems to know exactly what he said prior to the murders, or if he made any threats. Don’t expect the liberal media to try and find out either.
Even more US tax money usage goodness – Paying China $2.6 million so that Chinese Prostitutes “Drink Responsibly” on the “Job”
Pig odor reasearch, saving Pelosi’s fishies, money for John Murtha’s “airport” are all “noble” causes to waste tax payer money. But this may take the cake. According to CNS, we are now paying China $2.6 million in US taxpayer money to “train Chinese prostitutus to drink responsibly on the job”. The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAA), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will be spending the money for you.
What’s in a name? A cushy government job for with Obama
Need a job? Under Hussein Obama, it doesn’t hurt to have the right last name. Obama’s so called “change” to the old ways of Washington apparently haven’t changed much, especially with giving cushy jobs to relatives of top supporters, like many presidents before him have done. The CHANGE we need indeed!
Waiting for Reagan – Liberal rag Daily Beast now giving the GOP advice
The GOP doesn’t need any more soul-searching, writes Nicolle Wallace of the liberal rag Daily Beast. According to Wallace, “The GOP needs a larger-than-life hero to lead it back to victory. Who? How about Gen. Petreaus? Or Gary Sinise?”. Gee, thanks for the advice liberal douche.
Give Hussein Obama a ‘sizzling’ welcome for his town hall meeting in New Mexico
Hussein Obama has a Town Hall meeting scheduled at Rio Rancho High School at 10:00 am on Thursday. The Albuquerque Tea Party will be there waiting for him! There is plenty off sidewalk space for demonstrating, so bring your homemade signs, patriotism, red or white shirt, and plenty of water. We want to line both sides of the street.
Iran finally caves, Roxana Saberi finally freed from prison
Mounting pressure from people ticked off in the US, pleas from her family, and various blog sites set up in Roxana Saberi’s honor have finally worked. American journalist Roxana Saberi was released Monday from an Iranian prison, where she had been held since January. The senator of North Dakota, where Roxana Saberi, said the Iranian government has rectified a “terrible miscarriage of justice,” and officials said she is now free to leave the country. Roxana Saberi was originally arrested in Iran back in January. The Iranisn’s first excuse was because she had attempted to buy “bootleg liquor”, then they charged with working in Iran without proper press credentials. Eventually the Iranians charged Roxana Saberi with a BS spying charge.
Liberal toilet Wanda Sykes 9/11 jokes were so pathetic even, uhh.. Robert Umm.. Gibbs didn’t like them
At least for the 9/11 mockings by that liberal toilet Sykes. According to Politico:
In his daily briefing Monday, Robert Gibbs distanced the president from comedian Wanda Sykes’ joke comparing Rush Limbaugh to a 9/11 hijacker at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner.
David Souter’s vacant Supreme Court seat to be picked and filled by JOE BIDEN?!?
WashPo: The person in the White House most knowledgeable about Supreme Court nominations sits in the vice president’s office.That would mean the idiot of idiots Joe Biden. Vice President and idiot Joe Biden finds himself regularly consulting with the president and fielding queries from the White House counsel and others for insights on the process. This should make everyone feel great! Because as we all know, NOBODY MESSED WITH JOE BIDEN!
Sorry Obama excuse makers/porkulus suporters – no job growth for the rest of 2009
All we heard from Hussein Obama and the democrats since January was crisis, meltdown, we are on the verge of economic collapse if we don’t pass the porkulus bill, etc etc. Hussein Obama claimed he would “save” or create 4 million new jobs with the $800 trillion (plus interest) porkulus bill. Well, looks like year one is a complete and utter failure. The White House has quietly agreed with its critics, according to the New York Times, and now says it expects to see no hiring rebound in 2009. But hey, theres always the omnipork bill, and the upcoming $3.5 billion budget!
SNL senior producer Marci Klein says this about Sarah Palin: “This is the most confident person I’ve ever met.”
Liberal toilets like Wanda Sykes mocks her family at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Liberal biased news agencies send “teams” to Alaska to dig up dirt on Palin shortly after John McCain picks her as a running mate. Seven months after election, liberal dirtbags are still mocking her, covering any problems she has, and interviewing the father of her daughter’s baby. Yet, in this interview with ugly liberal Julie Menin with Marci Klein who is a senior producer for Saturday Night Live (a show that mocked here continously throughout the campaign), Klein seems to think Palin is:
This is the most confident person I’ve ever met.
As you watch the video at NewsBuster, watch how quickly the subject changes as Menin continually tries to bag on Sarah Palin, Klein responds with her being the most confident person she’s met. then Menin quickly changes the subject to Obama and Biden.
General Motors Bankruptcy All But Inevitable – Another $15.4 billion down the toilet
So what does $15.4 in already wasted tax payer money buy us? More than likely another bankrupt auto maker General Motors, which will probably end up something like Chrysler with 55% UAW ownership. For General Motors Corp., the task at hand is so difficult that experts say a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing is all but inevitable.
To ‘remake’ itself outside of court, GM must persuade bondholders to swap $27 billion in debt for 10 percent of its risky stock. On top of that, the automaker must work out deals with its union, announce factory closures, cut or sell brands and force hundreds of dealers out of business — all in three weeks. More from Fox News:
“I just don’t see how it’s possible, given all of the pieces,” said Stephen J. Lubben, a professor at Seton Hall University School of Law who specializes in bankruptcy.
GM, which has received $15.4 billion in federal aid, faces a June 1 government deadline to complete its restructuring plan. If it can’t finish in time, the company will follow Detroit competitor Chrysler LLC into bankruptcy protection.
Dick Cheney still not shutting up – says Republicans Better Off With Limbaugh Than Powell
Dick Cheney is not someone who i’d normally listen to for any sort of advice, or anything else. I’ve never been much of a fan of Cheney. While I agree with (if you were forced to pick between the two). Moderates and independants can’t stand Rush Limbaugh, and I can’t stand Colin Powell and his turncoat ways. Frankly, the GOP may be better off without EITHER of the two. Rush Limbaugh is polarizing, a loud mouth, among other things that turns off people. Colin Powell on the other hand basically endorsed the community organizer and has been consistent in his assertions that Republicans need to become “moderate” and by that he means dispensing with the core values. Colin Powell, for whatever credibility he had left after stabbing W in the back, lost every last drop of it when he basically kissed up to Hussein because black. Had this been Hillary, you wouldn’t have heard a word from Powell.
Tax cutter Obama proposes to raise taxes $60 billion over 10 years
The Hussein Obama administration will propose $60 billion in new tax increases over 10 years on wealthy estates, businesses and others to make up for shortfalls in its fund to pay for an expensive overhaul of the health-care system. According to Fox News:
The measures go beyond plans the White House has announced in the past few weeks. Officials said that upon further analysis they realized that they had overestimated savings and tax increases proposed in February to help pay the bill.
The full proposals will come Monday when the White House releases a detailed analysis of its budget blueprint. Administration officials described the new proposals not as tax increases, but as eliminating “tax loopholes.”
Bare Arms Michelle Obama is all Sally Quinn of the Washington Post can talk about on Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there, bare armed or not. Sally Quinn is again jizzing to one particular mom’s bare arms, Michelle Obama. This article by Quinn demostrates everything that is wrong with liberalism and American journalism; journalism died in 2008. The worshipping of this president and his ugly wife Michell goes beyond celebrity obsession it is almost pathologcial. This type of article belongs in a celebrity magazine not in a supposed national newspaper.
Our Country Is Littered With ‘Legacies’
So many in Congress have inflated egos. There is a highway in my state that bears the name of a long-time Congressman. Don’t know what he accomplished for the good of his state, but he left his name in a place that will guarantee he is never forgotten. How about your states? Are they littered with monuments to your Representatives and Senators? Have you ever wondered how these things came to be built? Was it because the men and women behind the famous names did such a good job of representing the best interests of their constituents–or was it because they were in Washington long enough to figure out how to use taxpayer’s money to enhance their own legacies? I mean, once their own nests have been sufficiently feathered, what is the next thing on the mind of a politician? Their legacy. Here is a clip that proves the timeliness of term limits:
There was never a nipple portrait of Lincoln
There was never a nipple portrait of Lincoln was one of the better remarks made tonight by leftwing loon Wanda Sykes during the elitist 2009 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. For the “highlights” you can read Mary Katherine Ham’s Tweets. Of course there was your token dig at Sarah Palin from Wanda Sykes:
“Gov. Palin’s not here tonight. She pulled out at the last minute. Someone should tell her, that’s not really how you practice abstinence.”
And here are so more gems on Rush Limbaugh from Wanda Sykes:
