The
liberals call it "extending unemployment benefits." That's not what is happening
here. We are extending welfare to the unemployed. The employers in this
country are required by law to buy unemployment insurance. In theory, the payments are
strictly made by the employer. Any thinker can see that the worker is really paying it
all. Ask the employer if they would be willing to simply increase the pay of all workers
instead of paying the government for this insurance and virtually all would say yes.
The employee is
actually picking up the whole tab, and has no choice in the matter. It's pay we
don't get. When unemployment rises, the rates for unemployment insurance rise, further
discouraging future hiring. But it's the law. We have to buy this insurance and the terms
are clearly understandable. When the payment period runs out, your insurance has
paid off in full. When the government decides to "extend" benefits,
they are really just giving away free money. And where does that money come from? Nowhere.
They just print it. Technically, it goes on the wildly uncontrolled national debt.
Last November, the
liberals were touting their new approach to deficit spending, claiming they would find
ways to pay for future spending. Talk about the fox guarding the henhouse ... they broke
their pledge within days and continue breaking it. Seems everything is an emergency!
Republicans asked the nitwits to reduce spending by a matching 34 billion somewhere else
to pay for this welfare giveaway.
Once the late
Senator Byrd's replacement was sworn in, the 60 vote bulletproof majority in the Senate
was restored and the giveaway was passed. Ask the unemployed if they want some free money
... most would say yes. Give me all you can. But when they find out that the bill will be
passed on to their offspring, they might reconsider the acts of the greatest
buckpassing generation in American history.
Totally shameful. Toss these liberal bastards out. Let us take
some responsibility for our own problems. Or screw our children out of any reasonable
chance of a prosperous nation in their future. The choice is ours ... in November.
There is no
free lunch. You can pay me now ... or you can pay me later. Liberals are forever
touting the benefits of the free lunch because they will be dead and buried when the bill
arrives. Selfish thieves. Stealing from the young ones to provide instant gratification
and hopefully buy a few votes from the gullible and selfish among us. Hundreds
of billions in unfunded spending and no results. The bill for these atrocious
decisions will be passed on to our children. Liberals cannot deliver on their promises
because they ignore economic reality and refuse to deal with our problems on any serious
level. Gutless wonders, every one of them.
One of our
favorite websites just got a major facelift. If you enjoy sports betting, but really don't
care for the expense of losing, CentSports is for you. We have been part of CentSports
since July 2008. They start you off with a free dime to bet with. Doesn't seem like much,
but I once rolled it up to well over $100. And here's the beautiful part: they give you
the dime. You cannot lose money at CentSports. There are no deposits to be made - EVER.
You can collect, however. If you roll your dime up to $20, you can request payment. Not
impossible, by the way. It certainly can be done.
It is decidedly small potatoes for the big player that is more accustomed to losing
large sums. If that is your thing, well, good luck with that. For the rest of us, we can
feel the added pleasure of having a little something riding on a game without the distinct
displeasure of actually losing money ... And you would be surprised how important 50 cents
can become. Though it seems like a tiny sum, when you cannot make a deposit, you can only
work your way up by WINNING or by collecting "crony" money. You can become a
member and solicit others to join through a link of your very own. Then, when they win,
you get a 5% bonus added to your account.
So, sign up today
through our link. You will make us very pleased, as every cent counts at CentSports! Then
start betting on all of the major sports. It is great fun, believe me. I have been at it
for nearly 2 years and never find it less than enjoyable. And the new website design is
remarkable. A hearty well done to Wil at CentSports!!!
Good Morning, Nanny
Staters!
We have work to do.
We intend
to compile a list of the fools that have voted against the will of the American
people on health care legislation. We will track the success rate of the American
people in removing these fools in November's election. Some have already
announced that they will not run, so we are off to a good start. We would like to
see all of them removed. That cannot happen, but many of them will, no doubt, be
sent packing. Here in Colorado, Senator Michael Bennet and Representative Betsy Markey
should find the electorate ready, willing and eager to make them walk the electoral plank
... District 2 will probably not replace the clown that voted for passage due to the fact
that the district includes the People's Republic of Boulder ... a safe haven for West Nile
Virus carrying mosquitoes and plague infested prairie dogs (who are both preferable to the
politicians up there.)
It doesn't take a genius to see what will happen in November. Barack Obama may even
figure it out by December ... then again, he still doesn't understand what happened in
January.

Senators in WHITE
or GRAY
are up for election in 2010. All of them have shown disdain for the will of the American
people and deserve to be replaced by someone that will represent us, not the pathetic
leadership of their party. Names in GRAY are not running or have already been replaced. Good
riddance. Names in RED have run and been defeated at the polls.
* Rasmussen Reports vs. Tom Campbell (R) - 3/11/10.
** Rasmussen Reports vs. Tommy Thompson (R) - 3/16/10.
*** Rasmussen Reports vs. Dino Rossi (R) - 3/9/10.
**** Rasmussen Reports vs. George Pataki (R) - 3/1/10.
These possible alternative candidates may or may not run or be nominated. |

These
are the people that have ushered in the era of socialized medicine.
Every major poll for the past 6 months showed Americans oppose this.
They are all Democrats. VOTE THEM OUT.
Names in Gray are not running or have been
replaced.
Don't let the door hit you in the ass. |
