WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that the Obama administration’s stimulus program is designed to “drop-kick” the economy out of its deep recession, declaring he is determined to ensure the $787 billion “gets out the door quickly and wisely.”

Joe Biden: Be Patriotic Pay Higher Taxes

 

Both President Obama and Vice-President Biden think it is only fair and patriotic that those earning over $250,000 pay higher income taxes and a new carbon tax.

The only problem is that small businesses create the most jobs.

The top 2% of taxpayer are already paying over 50% of all Federal income taxes.

By raising their taxes you are only forcing them to not hire new employees or even layoff existing employees.

You do not create wealth, income, jobs by increasing the taxes on businesses, but instead you destroy jobs. 

Join the second American Revolution and do some walkiing and drop kicking in Washington D.C. on July 4, 2009:

 Wealth, income and jobs are created in the private sector mainly by small to medium size businesses.

When you increase the taxes on the top 2% of the taxpayers who already pay over 50% of all Federal income taxes, you are mainly taxing business that create the most jobs.

The result is that businesses will cut jobs and capital investment spending to pay for these additional taxes.

President Obama proposes a new tax on carbon in the middle of a recession based on the climate change crisis.

This will increase the cost of electricity, heating and transportation for all individuals and businesses as well as the prices of goods and services.

Businesses will largely pass these tax increases to their customers, the American people.

President Obama’s  proposals will only prolong the recession and result in higher unemployment rates exceeding 10% or over 15 million people.

Furthermore, climate is always changing and is not man-made.

The primary drivers or causes of climate change are variable solar activity, cosmic rays, clouds, water vapor, volcanoes, and many more.

Man is not the primary driver or cause of climate change and at best man’s impact on climate is so small as to be immaterial.

Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant and any attempt to control it is both arrogant and stupid for it is not possible.

The big lie that man-made global warming must be stopped by controlling and taxing carbon dioxide emissions is a radical socialist con-game and fraud.

Do not fall for the greed, arrogance, and stupidity of the political class of both parties  that want to tax your use of energy for electricity, heating and transportation.

In the name of saving the planet, they will wreck the US economy and destroy jobs.

The Progressive Liberal Fascists want to take more money from your wallet  in the form of a carbon tax or cap and trade tax.

The carbon tax or cap and trade tax will reduce consumer spending and job creation and preservation.

Thanks but not thanks, just say no!

If you value your life do not depend on government  health care or socialized medicine.

Socialists always start killing those who are least able to defend themselves–children, disabled and the old.

First, abort as many children as possible.

Second wait out the old and disabled by putting them on a long waiting list for needed medical treatment, procedures and operations.

The radical socialist language put into the stimulus bill is a massive invasion of the privacy of your medical records and what treatment you can receive from your doctor.

This is the face and tactics of progressive liberal fascism.

Socialized Medicine In Stimulus Package

 

Obama approves of Gestapo medical records round-up to sort out undesirables.


 

President Obama wants every one to go back to school and more money for education from k-12 and college.

Yet, President Obama opposes parents having the choice to where their children go to school.

President Obama would not send parents a voucher or check every year that they can use to pay the tuition at the school of their choice.

The American people pay their local property taxes but must send their children to government schools,  so-called public schools, many of which are terrible.

Yet, American government education from k-12 grades declines every year compared with other countries.

More money for government schools is not the solution–more competition and freedom to choose is.

Let the American people decide where they send their children to school.

If government schools are so great, why Mr. President have you not sent your children there?

Public Education – Ayn Rand Center for Individual Rights

The Federal Government is broke.

Yet, President Obama wants  the Federal Government to tax you more so your taxes can pay for new and bigger government programs.

The American people are taxed out and many are unemployed.

Yet, President Obama proposes a new tax on carbon or a cap and trade tax as well as higher taxes on businesses and individuals who earn over $250,000.

President Obama is an excellent speaker and glibe as he tells bold face lies.

The reason businesses go overseas is the US has the highest taxes on business.

The US tax system and rates are no longer competitive with the rest of the world.

The rich create wealth, income and jobs.

They do not take wealth from the poor.

U.S. stimulus bill pushes e-health records for all

 “…What didn’t come up during the president’s first press conference was how one section of the convoluted legislation–it’s approximately 800 pages total–is intended to radically reshape the nation’s medical system by having the government establish computerized medical records that would follow each American from birth to death.

Billions will be handed to companies creating these databases. Billions will be handed to universities to incorporate patient databases “into the initial and ongoing training of health professionals.” There’s a mention of future “smart card functionality.”

Yet nowhere in this 140-page portion of the legislation does the government anticipate that some Americans may not want their medical histories electronically stored, shared, and searchable. Although a single paragraph promises that data-sharing will “be voluntary,” there’s no obvious way to opt out.

“Without those protections, Americans’ electronic health records could be shared–without their consent–with over 600,000 covered entities through the forthcoming nationally linked electronic health records network,” said Sue Blevins, president of the Institute for Health Freedom, a nonprofit group that advocates health care privacy. …”

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan

February 9, 2009
by Betsy McCaughey 

“…Senators should read these provisions and vote against them because they are dangerous to your health. (Page numbers refer to H.R. 1 EH, pdf version).

 

The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.

But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”

 Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity goes too far. …” 

“…Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.

Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective. The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464). …”

Barack Obama: Father and Son

Barack Obama, Sr.

“…Barack Hussein Obama (1936 − 24 November 1982) was a Kenyan senior governmental economist, and father of US President Barack Obama. He is a central subject in his son’s memoir, Dreams from My Father.

“…Barack Obama Sr. was born in Kanyadhiang village, Rachuonyo District[1] on the shores of Lake Victoria just outside Kendu Bay, Kenya, at the time a colony of the British Empire, and raised in the village of Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Nyanza Province.[9] His family are members of the Luo ethnic group. He was the son of Onyango Obama (c. 1895-1979) who had at least three wives; Barack Obama Sr. was the son of Akumu Habiba, the second wife. However, he was raised by Onyango’s third wife, Sarah, after Akumu left her family and separated from her husband in 1945.[3][10] Before working as a cook for missionaries in Nairobi, Onyango had travelled widely, enlisting in the British colonial forces and visiting Europe, India, and Zanzibar, where he converted from Roman Catholicism to Islam and took the name Hussein Onyango Obama. Although Obama Sr. was born into a Muslim family, he was an atheist before he came to the United States.[4] Obama Sr. was married in 1954 at the age of eighteen, in a tribal ceremony to Kezia, with whom he had four children. …”

 

“…At the age of 23, Obama Sr. enrolled at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, leaving behind a pregnant Kezia and their infant son. He had turned away from Islam and become an atheist by the time he moved to the United States.[4] On 2 February 1961, Obama Sr. married fellow student Ann Dunham in Maui, Hawaii[14] though she would not find out that her new husband was already married until much later.[15] Obama Sr.’s and Dunham’s son, Barack Obama II, was born on August 4, 1961. Dunham left school to care for the baby, while Obama Sr. completed his degree. He graduated from the University of Hawaii in June 1962 (and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa[16]), leaving shortly thereafter to travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he would begin graduate study at Harvard University in the fall.[15] Later that summer, Dunham and the year-old baby Barack stopped to visit her friends in Mercer Island, Washington, the Seattle suburb where she had grown up,[15][17][18] before joining Obama Sr. in Cambridge. However, mother and son soon returned to Seattle, where she enrolled at the University of Washington.[17][15] Dunham, missing her family, then moved back to Hawaii[17] and filed for divorce in Honolulu in January 1964. Obama Sr. did not contest, and the divorce was granted.[14] He visited his son only once, in 1971, when Barack was 10 years old.[15]

While at Harvard, Obama Sr. met an American-born teacher named Ruth Nidesand. She followed him to Kenya when he returned there after he received a master’s degree (AM) in economics from Harvard in 1965.[19] Nidesand eventually became his third wife and had two children with him before they divorced.[20]

 

Return to Kenya

On his return to Kenya, Obama Sr. was hired by an oil company and then served as an economist in the Ministry of Transport, and later became senior economist in the Kenyan Ministry of Finance.[21] In 1965 Obama Sr. wrote a paper titled “Problems Facing Our Socialism,” published in the East Africa Journal, harshly criticizing the blueprint for national planning, “African Socialism and Its Applicability to Planning in Kenya”, which had been produced by Tom Mboya’s Ministry of Economic Planning and Development.[22] As his son describes in his memoir, Obama Sr.’s conflict with President Kenyatta destroyed his career.[citation needed]

Obama Sr.’s life then took a tailspin into drinking and poverty, from which he never recovered. His friend, Kenyan journalist Philip Ochieng, has described Obama Sr.’s difficult personality and drinking problems in the Kenya newspaper The Daily Nation.[12] Obama Sr. lost both legs in an automobile collision, and subsequently lost his job. He died in 1982, at the age of 46, in a car crash in Nairobi.[12]

Obama Sr. is buried in at the village of Nyang’oma Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya. His funeral was attended by ministers Robert Ouko, Oloo Aringo and other prominent political figures.[1]  …”

East Africa Journal

Problems Facing Our Socialism

“…Omwami says he would instead refer to the elder Obama as “a liberal person who believed in market forces but understood its limitations.” Sessional Paper No. 10 centered on the new control of Kenya’s resources, promoting a form of trickle-down economics in which financial aid would be consolidated in more populated areas with the hope that positive effects would eventually be felt by smaller villages.

Obama senior argued against this notion, and Omwami suggests history has proven him correct since most, if not all, small communities in Kenya have yet to benefit from monies that poured into larger cities since the nation’s independence four decades ago.

The elder Obama also looked ahead to what has become a shaping force across Africa — urbanization — arguing that the government’s efforts to lure citizens back to the land were futile.

“If these people come out in search of work, it is because they cannot make a living out of whatever land they have had,” he wrote.

In retrospect, it was one of several warnings in the paper that would prove true.

“If you understand the Kenyan context, you can clearly see in that paper that Obama senior was quite a sharp mind,” Omwami concluded. “He addresses economic growth and other areas of development, and his critique is that policymakers in Kenya were overemphasizing economic growth.

“We had high economic growth for years but never solved the problems of poverty, unemployment and unequal income distribution. And those problems are still there.”

Obama senior’s projections and critiques are so spot on, says Omwami, that he plans to assign the paper to his classes in the future.

UPDATE:

Looks like Department of Defense budget cuts are being used as a funding source  to payoff President Obama’s campaign supporters mainly auto and government employee  unions and Wall Street financial institutions. The VH-71 and F-22 both Lockheed Martin programs will be terminated.

The concept of dropping money at Presidential campaign events was recently tested in Altoona:

Altoona Curve Money Drop

When President Obama leaves a event there will be a fly over of the event crowd to dispense walking around money to loyal supporters crying Obama, Obama, Obama–He is the One!

The code name for the new conformal money dispenser is the “Green Voter Machine” or GVM for short.

Conformal fuel tanks have been used on the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Falcon to provide a longer operating mission range:

The idea for money drops came from the boys in the hood:

Floyd Mayweather Drops $30K Bag Full Of Money In The Crowd!

The new helicopters should lengthen the terms of Presidents.

Give the masses a taste of Government Dependency with cold cash currency.

To save development and production money, the helicopters with conformal fuel tanks converted to money dispensers will also be used by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department to drop TARP money.

This should spread the design and development cost over 100 helicopters instead of just the Presidential fleet.

Only in America!

But why did Senator McCain and even President Obama seriously consider canceling the helicopters.

Rumor has it that the US Border Patrol wanted 200 VH-71 helicopters to patrol the US 6,000 mile border to stop illegal immigration, drug smuggling and the violence and kidnapping associated with the drug cartels and illegal immigration.

This would more than double the US Border Patrol’s fleet of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.

The transport helicopters would enable officers to arrest and quickly transport illegal aliens directly to a central location for processing and deportation.

Since both Senator McCain and President Obama favor open borders and amnesty aka a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants from Mexico this could kill the VH-71 Helicopter  program.

The political class of both political parties  need all those campaign  contributions from businesses benefiting from cheap and complaint illegal immigrant labor–that alone should lead to the cancelling of the helicopter program and not to mention the E-Verify program as well.

Time will tell.

Stay tuned.

The President’s New Helicopter

By Jonathon Keats  posted: 07 May 2006

“…After decades of upgrades to a fleet of notoriously cramped Sikorsky VH-3 Sea Kings, the White House has tasked Lockheed Martin with a dramatic, $6.1-billion makeover of Marine One, the presidential helicopter, starting this summer. The goal: to fit a mobile Oval Office into the tight quarters of a chopper. The new fleet will consist of 23 VH-71 aircraft, each of which will have 200 square feet of cabin space, nearly double the Sea King’s 116.

Aside from the legroom, the copter will incorporate major upgrades to the old defense and communications systems. Equally important is that the aircraft is flight-proven—the $110-million bird is derived from a European-built AgustaWestland EH101, currently doing military service for Canada and the U.K. Here, an inside look at the revamped Marine One, set to gradually go into service between 2009 and 2014. …”

VH-71 Kestrel

“…The VH-71 Kestrel, a variant of the AgustaWestland AW101 (formerly EH101), is being developed to replace the United States Marine Corps’ Marine One Presidential transport fleet. It is being produced by the Lockheed Martin-led “US101 Team” of Lockheed Martin Systems Integration – Owego, AgustaWestland and Bell Helicopter.

The projected total cost of the 28 helicopters planned under the program is over $11 billion. In February 2009, President Obama asked Secretary of Defense Robert Gates about placing the project on hold or canceling it because of its high cost.[2] …”

“… VXX competition

The U.S. Department of Defense issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on 18 December 2003 for the supply of 23 helicopters to replace the 11 VH-3Ds and 8 VH-60Ns of USMC HMX-1 squadron. This requirement was given the designation VXX (V being the prefix for VIP aircraft and XX representing the then unspecified numerical part of the designation).

Both AgustaWestland and Sikorsky responded to the RFP. Sikorsky proposed the VH-92, a variant of the H-92 Superhawk, in partnership with FlightSafety International, L-3 Communications, Northrop Grumman, Rockwell Collins, Vought Aircraft Industries, and GE-Aviation.

On 28 January 2005 the Department of Defense announced that it had selected the US101 for the VXX program. The US101 team was awarded a US$1.7 billion contract for the VXX system development and demonstration (SDD) phase.[6] The price of the development later rose by 40% to $2.4 billion.[7] The full cost of the project is estimated at $6.1 Bn,[8] although some analysts expect the cost to rise above $7Bn, making this the most expensive helicopter ever, with a unit cost of $270m.[9] As of March 2008 the program cost totaled $11.2Bn, making each helicopter more expensive than the Boeing 747-based VC-25s that serve as Air Force One after adjustment for inflation.[1][10]

“…US101

On 23 July 2002 Lockheed Martin and AgustaWestland signed a 10-year agreement to jointly market, produce and support a medium-lift helicopter, an EH101 derivative called US101, in the United States.[3] The companies envisaged marketing the aircraft in three roles; US Air Force combat search and rescue, US Coast Guard search and rescue, and US Marine Corps executive transport.

On 15 May 2003 AgustaWestland signed an agreement with Bell Helicopter to undertake final assembly of the US101 in the United States.[4] AgustaWestland will produce the main rotor blades and main fuselage sections at its Yeovil, UK facility. The company will produce other components, including the gearbox, at its Cascina Costa, Italy facility. This represents a work share of 36%. The remaining 64% work share is split between Lockheed Martin (31%) and Bell Helicopter (27%) and others (6%).[5]

Cost Nearly Doubles For Marine One Fleet

Production of Craft Has Been Delayed

By Peter Baker

Washington Post Staff Writer

“…A year after Sept. 11, 2001, the White House set out to build a fleet of state-of-the-art Marine One helicopters for the al-Qaeda age that would be safer, more powerful and more reliable than the iconic white-topped aircraft that have landed on the South Lawn for decades.

But the al-Qaeda age has met the military acquisition process. Six years later, the cost of the new helicopters has nearly doubled, production has fallen behind schedule, and the bulk of the program has been put on hold while the government tries to figure out how to salvage it.

A year after Sept. 11, 2001, the White House set out to build a fleet of state-of-the-art Marine One helicopters for the al-Qaeda age that would be safer, more powerful and more reliable than the iconic white-topped aircraft that have landed on the South Lawn for decades.

But the al-Qaeda age has met the military acquisition process. Six years later, the cost of the new helicopters has nearly doubled, production has fallen behind schedule, and the bulk of the program has been put on hold while the government tries to figure out how to salvage it.

The Pentagon confirmed this month that the cost of the fleet of 28 new super-sophisticated helicopters has jumped from $6.1 billion when the contract was signed in 2005 to $11.2 billion today. Outfitted with cutting-edge communications equipment, antimissile defenses and hardened hulls, each of the VH-71 helicopters, to be dubbed Marine One whenever the president is onboard, will cost $400 million — more than the most recent Boeing 747 jetliner outfitted to serve as Air Force One when it was delivered in 1990, even when adjusted for inflation. …”

VH-71 Presidential Helicopter

The 21st Century Oval Office in the Sky

 

“…Description: 

VH-71 is the nextgeneration Presidential Helicopter that will serve as an “Oval Office in the Sky,” keeping the Commanderin-Chief both “in touch” and “in 

charge” while traveling. Equipped with a variety of sophisticated systems, the helicopter’s command, control, and communications capabilities are similar to those aboard the larger “Air Force One” jet aircraft. The VH-71 is based upon the US101 platform, the American variant of the combatproven and highly successful EH101 helicopter, built

by AgustaWestland. To win the VXX competition, Lockheed Martin joined forces with AgustaWestland and Bell Helicopter and formed Team US101, with support from more than 200

suppliers in 41 states. The U.S. Navy selected the US101 to be the new Presidential Helicopter because of our best value, low-risk “system of systems” technical approach, the

helicopter’s excellent safety performance, three-engine design, survivability characteristics, and superior cabin size. The team’s familiarity with the unique demands of presidential

transport was also considered: past Presidents have flown aboard both Lockheed Constellations and JetStars, and Bell helicopters. The Navy will buy 23 operational VH-71

helicopters; the first to fly Presidential missions will do so during 2009. The U.S. Marine Corps’s HMX-1 squadron at Quantico, Virginia, will have the honor and duty to fly these

aircraft for future Presidents during decades to come. …”
