Connie hedegaard

“…Connie Hedegaard (born September 15, 1960) has been the Danish Minister for Climate and Energy since November 23, 2007 as member of the Cabinet of Anders Fogh Rasmussen III and that of Lars Løkke Rasmussen and was the Danish Minister for the Environment from August 2, 2004 to November 23, 2007, as member of the Cabinet of Anders Fogh Rasmussen I and II, . She is a member of the Conservative People’s Party, and has been a member of the parliament (Folketing) from January 10, 1984 to October 3, 1990 and again since the 2005 Danish parliamentary election. Prior to becoming a minister, she was working as a journalist at DR. …”

Connie Hedegaard and Denmark’s energy policies

Since 2007, Connie Hedegaard has been behind Denmark’s energy successes. In April, she signed an action plan with India [2] on renewable energy. One notable achievement was her role in introducing Denmark’s Energy Policy 2008-2011. The policy made her country the first in the world to commit to an overall energy reduction, not just a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. It includes the following language.

Energy Savings: A target of 2% reduction of total energy use from 2006 levels by 2011, and 4% by 2020.

Renewable Energy: Increased biomass/waste and wind energy and provide large, annual subsidies for solar and wave energy. Regarding wind power, plans include support for two 200 MW offshore wind farms that are scheduled to begin energy production in 2012. Additionally, money has been set aside for informational and labeling campaigns aimed at replacing oil-fired furnaces with heat pumps.

Energy taxes: Higher taxes on CO2 emitters, as well as a new tax on emitters of nitrogen oxide (NOx).

Energy technology: Doubled funding for energy technology R&D.

Transport: Extended the electric vehicle tax exemption to 2012 and introduced a tax exemption for hydrogen vehicles. Planned a tests scheme for electric vehicles. Set the goal to use 5.75% biofuels for all land transit by 2010 and 10% by 2020, in line with EU targets.

On the other hand, Hans Jørgen Koch, Deputy State Secretary at Ministry of Climate and Energy of Denmark with Connie Hedegaard is one of three other candidates/nominees for Director General of IRENA. …”

The National Debt is over $11.9 Trillion!

US Debt Clock–Real Time!

http://www.usdebtclock.org/

This bar chart is created using data published in the Monthly Treasury Statement, which is published by the U. S. Treasury Department. Your money is spent through U. S. Senate Appropriations Bills.

The “estimate bar” (in the “Debt Total” box) for the current Fiscal Year (FY), is generated by NDAC analysts from data published by the Congressional Budget Office and several other sources.

“Budget Deficit” vs. “National Debt”—

Suppose you want to spend more money this month than your income. This situation is called a “budget deficit”. So you borrow (ie; use your credit card). The amount you borrowed (and now owe) is called your debt. You have to pay interest on your debt. If next month you don’t have enough money to cover your spending (another deficit), you must borrow some more, and you’ll still have to pay the interest on the loan. If you have a deficit every month, you keep borrowing and your debt grows. Soon the interest payment on your loan is bigger than any other item in your budget. Eventually, all you can do is pay the interest payment, and you don’t have any money left over for anything else. This situation is known as bankruptcy.

Each year since 1969, Congress has spent more money than its income. The Treasury Department has to borrow money to meet Congress’s appropriations.

We pay interest on that huge debt. And now the Treasury is having trouble finding lenders!

Budget Priorities

38% Say Deficit Reduction Top Priority, 23% Say Health Care Reform

“…While cutting the deficit remains the top priority, 66% say it is the presidential objective least likely to be achieved. At the other extreme, 40% say health care reform is the goal most likely to be achieved.
However, while most Americans believe major changes are needed in the nation’s health care system, most also oppose the reform plans proposed by the president and congressional Democrats. Half say that passing no legislation would be better than passing the bill currently working its way through Congress.

Adding to the challenge, voters see the goals of deficit reduction and health care reform as contradictory: 68% say passage of the health care plan will increase the deficit.

All through the year there has been a huge partisan divide on the president’s priorities. Among Democratic voters, health care reform ranks number one with 41% considering it the top priority. Among Republicans and unaffiliated voters, health care reform ranks fourth behind deficit reduction, energy development and education. Fifty-five percent (55%) of Republicans say cutting the deficit in half is the most important goal, a view shared by 43% of those not affiliated with either major party.

Men overwhelmingly see deficit reduction as most important while women are more evenly divided.

Middle-income Americans, those earning $40,000 to $75,000 a year, are most likely to see deficit reduction as the top issue, but a plurality of all income groups share that view. …”

Record-High Deficit May Dash Big Plans

$1.4 Trillion in Red Ink Means Less to Spend On Obama’s Ambitious Jobs, Stimulus Policies

“..At about 10 percent of the overall economy, the gap between federal spending and tax collections is the largest on record since the end of World War II, and bigger in nominal terms than the past four years of deficits combined. Next year is unlikely to be much better, budget analysts say. And Obama’s current policies would drive the budget gap into the trillion-dollar range for much of the next decade.

As they unveiled the final 2009 figure, administration officials argued that expensive emergency programs — such as the $700 billion bank bailout requested by the Bush administration and the $787 billion economic stimulus package Obama signed during his first days in office — were essential to halting a frightening economic slide earlier this year. The deficit ultimately was lower than expected because those programs worked, they said.

But they tacitly acknowledged that the administration has yet to chart a clear path through the fiscal thicket. …”

Larry Summers’ Judgment

David R. Henderson,

A man of many mistakes

“…The date: Jan. 7, 1993, just 13 days before President-elect Clinton is to take office. The place: Little Rock, Ark. The event: a briefing of President-elect Clinton by his top advisers on the economy. Larry Summers, about to be appointed Undersecretary of the Treasury for International Affairs, agrees with what many of Clinton’s advisers say: It is important to reduce the U.S. government budget’s deficit, even in the short run.

What’s striking about this is that the budget deficit at the time was about the same, as a percent of GDP, as it is now. In fiscal year 1993, the deficit was 3.9% of GDP, and for this fiscal year, as noted, it will be at least 3.3% of GDP. Yet, virtually all of Clinton’s advisers, including Summers, wanted to cut the deficit, not increase it. Perhaps the difference is that the unemployment rate was so low then that increasing the deficit would have, in their Keynesian way of looking at things, “overheated the economy.” Well, no, not quite. In fact, the unemployment rate in November 1992, the latest month for which they would have had data, was 7.4%. The most-recent unemployment rate for the current U.S. economy, by contrast, was 6.5%, almost one whole percentage point lower.

Why the difference? The main one, I believe, was political. President-elect Clinton had just won a tight election in a three-way race with then-President Bush and Ross Perot. Perot’s major issue had been the importance of reducing the budget deficit, and he had touched a nerve in the American voting public. Perot had emerged with 19% of the vote, even after having suspended his campaign briefly, and he had even received more votes than Clinton in one state, Utah. Obama, by contrast, had no credible opposition that was talking about the budget deficit. Even if John McCain was a critic of budget deficits, he never presented a credible plan for reducing them. So a reasonable question to ask is this: How much will Larry Summers use his brilliance and how much will he simply twist with the political winds?”

US budget deficit hits record $1.4 trillion

P. PARAMESWARAN

“…The US government closed its 2009 fiscal year with a record 1.417 trillion dollar budget deficit as it poured resources to contain a serious financial crisis that plunged the nation into recession.

The deficit was some 962 billion US dollars higher than the prior year and amounted to 10 percent of US gross domestic product (GDP), the highest since 1945, officials said Friday.

The huge jump in the budget shortfall stemmed from both declining revenues and a massive ramping up of spending in a fiscal stimulus to jolt the world’s largest economy from a prolonged recession following the worst financial crisis in decades.

Receipts for the fiscal year that ended in September totalled 2.105 trillion US dollars while outlays were 3.522 trillion US dollars, the Treasury said.

Officials, however, pointed out that the deficit was 162 billion US dollars lower than the 1.580 trillion US dollars forecast by the administration of President Barack Obama, who inherited the flood of red ink from his predecessor George W. Bush. …”

Another Big Labor Operative in White House has ACORN Ties

by Don Loos

“…BigGovernment.com continues to wake-up America to Obama Administration relationships with ACORN and Big Labor. BigGov’s latest story highlights Presidential Advisor Valerie Jarrett’s crew member Buffy Wicks who is the former political director of forced union dues financed WakeupWalmart.com (Wakeup). In the conference call, Wicks highlighted the important role United We Serve (Serve.gov) has in President Obama’s Organizing America strategy. See Dana Loesch’s article about Serve.gov directing volunteers to ACORN. …”

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
____________________________________________
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 11, 2009 President Obama Launches Office of Public Engagement:
A New Name, Mission for White House Liaison Office

“…President Obama today announced a new name and a new mission for the White House office charged with dealing most closely with the American people. The Office of Public Liaison is now the Office of Public Engagement. OPE, along with the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, will serve as the front door to the White House through which ordinary Americans can participate and inform the work of the President. The current leadership will remain to carry out the new mission and includes Valerie Jarrett, Senior Adviser to the President, Christina M. Tchen, Director of OPE; and Michael Strautmanis Chief of Staff to the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Engagement. Additional staff and issue areas can be viewed at the OPE website at www.whitehouse.gov/ope.In a video announcement about OPE, President Obama said, “This office will seek to engage as many Americans as possible in the difficult work of changing this country, through meetings and conversations with groups and individuals held in Washington and across the country.”

“…Buffy Wicks, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Wicks has a long history in grassroots organizing and civic engagement. Most recently she was the Director of the Renew America Together effort, the call to service issued by then President-elect Obama. She also served on the Obama for America campaign in a variety of roles, including California Field Director and Missouri State Director, and helped develop the national grassroots field strategy. She has also worked in the labor movement, fighting for better health care and wages for disenfranchised workers. She is originally from California and graduated with a double major in Political Science and History from the University of Washington. …”

ACORN tentacles spread throughout White House staff

By Anthony G. Martin

“…Over the past 2 months as Americans have turned against the proposed government takeover of healthcare and other initiatives of the Obama administration, it has also come to light that the President and his operatives have loaded up the White House staff with individuals who have ties to ACORN and big labor.

One of the latest to come to light is Valerie Jarrett’s staff member Buffy Wicks.

Jarrett, of course, is the top senior adviser to Barack Obama who has been with him since the beginning in Illinois and is described by the President himself as a close, personal family friend who is ‘like a sister to me.’ She is also the one who recommended Vann Jones for the job of ‘green jobs czar.’

As a staff assistant to Jarrett, Buffy Wicks’ position is ‘Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.’ In other words, she is a community organizer whose employment history involves working with ACORN and labor unions to promote and implement a Leftist agenda on U.S. business, particularly targeting corporations like Wal-Mart:

What the Obama Administration’s Buffy Wicks did with Wakeup, and it continues to do with an apparent partnership with ACORN, is to engage in a “corporate campaign” against Wal-Mart in an attempt to inflict as much financial stress on its target as possible. For an insiders view of what it is like to be a target of a corporate campaign a good read is Dave Bego’s book, The Devil at My Doorstep, a chronicle of the shameless three-year corporate campaign he and his employees endured.

These corporate campaigns are not about worker choice, they are about inflicting financial costs and public image damages to companies like Bego’s and Wal-Mart.

Essentially, this means that Buffy Wicks was a professional troublemaker hired by Big Labor to work hand-in-hand with ACORN in an effort to inflict pain to bring one of the nation’s largest employers to its knees. So far, the efforts by Wicks and ACORN have only served to reduce Wal-Mart’s ability to hire new people and lower prices for its customers.

Now, ACORN collaborator Wicks is inside the Obama White House as it oversees record unemployment. If the White House continues to place Big Labor staffers like Wicks who worked for organizations hostile to worker freedom throughout its Administration, then the Obama Administration will likely become the antithesis to job growth and the primary obstacle to any future U.S. economic recovery. …”

ACORN-Tied Buffy Wicks from Obama White House in on NEA Propaganda Art Call

By Matthew Vadum

“…It turns out Buffy Wicks, deputy director of President Obama’s White House Office of Public Engagement, was on the teleconference call.

Wicks is a political operative who was worked with ACORN.

My sources in the progressive movement say Wicks handled the Obama campaign in Missouri last year. Obama lost in Missouri and activists in that state and people within the Obama campaign placed the blame for the defeat squarely on her shoulders.

After failing to win Missouri for Obama, Wicks had a very hard time finding a job but somehow she landed a job in the Obama White House. It’s unclear how she did that.

Wicks used to work for Wake Up Wal-Mart (wakeupwalmart.com), which is not a formal affiliate of ACORN but is an ACORN-sponsored spinoff group. The group works very closely with ACORN and is modeled after ACORN’s own anti-Wal-Mart affiliate W*A*R*N* (Wal-Mart Alliance for Reform Now).

Wake Up Wal-Mart entered into a national partnership with ACORN in 2005. In a Wake Up Wal-Mart press release from 2005, ACORN national president Maude Hurd said: “This is a new day in the fight to change Wal-Mart. We have created an unprecedented, bottom-up force for change which will demonstrate why Wal-Mart needs to change now.” …”

An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities aka Hatch Act

“…The Hatch Act of 1939 is a United States federal law whose main provision is to prohibit federal employees (civil servants) from engaging in partisan political activity. Named after Senator Carl Hatch of New Mexico, the law was officially known as An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities.

The act precluded federal employees from membership in “any political organization which advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of government.” During the Second Red Scare, this designation was interpreted to include communist and labor organizations. …”

“…The original Act forbids intimidation or bribery of voters and restricted political campaign activities by federal employees. It prohibits using any public funds designated for relief or public works for electoral purposes. It also forbids officials paid with federal funds from using promises of jobs, promotion, financial assistance, contracts, or any other benefit to coerce campaign contributions or political support.

The most restrictive measure was brought about by Republicans in the Senate. It dictates that persons below the policymaking level in the executive branch of the federal government must not only refrain from political practices that would be illegal for any citizen but must abstain from “any active part” in political campaigns.

An amendment on July 19, 1940 extended coverage to state and local employees whose salaries include any federal funds. This amendment also set an annual ceiling of $3 million for political parties’ campaign expenditures and $5,000 for individual campaign contributions. …”

What Did The White House Do Wrong?

by Hans von Spakovsky and Elliot S. Berke

“…By seeking to enlist the private sector in lobbying for the President’s agenda, the alleged conduct may have violated the Anti-Lobbying Act (18 U.S.C. §1913), which as Ben Shapiro pointed out in a previous piece, explicitly provides:

No part of the money appropriated by any enactment of Congress shall, in the absence of express authorization by Congress, be used directly or indirectly to pay for any personal service, advertisement, telegram, telephone, letter, printed or written matter, or other device, intended or designed to influence in any manner a Member of Congress, a jurisdiction, or an official of any government, to favor, adopt, or oppose by vote or otherwise, any legislation, law, ratification, policy, or appropriation, whether before or after the introduction of any bill, measure or resolution proposing such legislation, law, ratification, policy or appropriation.

The Anti-Lobbying Act, according to government handbooks, prevents government employees from engaging in “substantial ‘grass roots’ lobbying campaigns … expressly urging individuals to contact government officials in support of or opposition to legislation …. Provid[ing] administrative support for lobbing activities of private organizations”

It is important to note that 18 U.S.C. §1913 only applies to federal officers or employees and not to the private recipients of federal grants, contracts or other federal disbursements. Thus, while the artists who responded to the NEA’s request for political help may not have violated this particular provision of federal law, Yosi Sergant, who was apparently the main person behind the NEA phone call, and other members of the White House staff who were involved in the May 12 meeting at the White House, may very well have violated §1913. Those staffers included “people very close to the President” according to Mike Strautmanis, Chief of Staff for the Office of Public Engagement. Punishment for such a violation can be severe – a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each violation. …”

White House caught on tape directing politicization of National Endowment for the Arts

By Thomas Lifson

The latest Breitbart blockbuster has been released. The huge post by Patrick Courrielche on BigGovernment.com includes comprehensive transcripts and audios, as well as excerpted key segments. White House official Buffy Wicks, who works for Valerie Jarrett, the insider’s insider at the White House, is clearly directing political art (“specific tasks”) be produced. Jarrett is close to both Michelle and Barack Obama.

In the following segment, Buffy Wicks, Deputy Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, clearly identifies this arts group as a pro-Obama collective and warns them of some “specific asks” that will be delivered later in the meeting.

“I just first of all want to thank everyone for being on the call and just a deep deep appreciation for all the work you all put into the campaign for the 2+ years we all worked together.”

“We won.”

“I’m actually in the White House and working towards furthering this agenda, this very aggressive agenda.”

“We’re going to come at you with some specific asks here.”

“I hope you guys are ready.” …”

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/09/white_house_caught_on_tape_dir.html

From Huff Po a report that Wicks is well wired into the SEIU:

Many of the people in charge of the SEIU funded anti-WalMart movement, such as the imposing Buffy Wicks, have moved on to work for Obama, who was also funded by the SEIU. In a full employment economy, fine, try and unionize WalMart through cardcheck. Just don’t try and do it in a collapsing economy. …”

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/09/white_house_caught_on_tape_dir.html

Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs

“…The Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs is a unit of the White House Office within the Executive Office of the President of the United States. It was formerly known as the Office of Public Liaison and Intergovernmental Affairs.

Under President Barack Obama, senior advisor Valerie Jarrett oversees the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs^[1], with Christina Tchen as Director of Public Engagement^[2] and Cecilia Muñoz as Director of Intergovernmental Affairs^[3].

…”

“…The Office of Intergovernmental Affairs works closely with state and local officials elected by the American people to ensure America’s citizens and their elected officials have a government that works effectively for them and with them. Due to the importance of state and local governments are to the creation and implementation of national policy, it is especially important for the Office to provide a readily accessibly method of direct communication for local officials to discuss and raise awareness of local concerns.

The Office of Public Engagement seeks to allow more readily the views of the ordinary American citizen to be heard within the administration. The Office also seeks to coordinate events that brings members of the administration in contact with members of the public. The “town-hall” style meetings held by President Barack Obama since being elected are an example of this policy at work. The Office also acts as a cheerleader for the administration and seeks to ensure, along with the Office of Communications the coordination of the administration message amongst different departments in order to ensure full and balanced exposure. …”
