In addition to the $10 billion over the next 10 years and the horde of 17,000 new employees that will be used against small business, (and to collect fines from the people who don't want to participate in government run healthcare), the I. R. S. is demanding 1,054 newauditors and staffers to get things done for the man in the White House, just to watch over the initial implementation of Obama's unconstitutional Socialist healthcare scam. Of course this will include new facilities and computers for the latest goon squad, to run roughshod over the American people, which will additionally cost the taxpayer more than $359 million in fiscal 2012.
In case you were wondering, there will be plenty of people to hassle the tanning industry from the new healthcare corps. For example, the tanning salon police will have 81 workers that will be assigned to make sure tanning salons pay a new 10 percent excise tax. Their cost: $11.5 million.
Another 76, from the new army of bureaucrats, will be assigned to make sure businesses engaged in making and imported drugs pay their new fee.
We're just the unwashed masses unable to think on our own. King Obama and his elitist buddies have to make the right decisions for us. It's for our own good, you know.
"Man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts."
When Nancy Pelosi and her band of big government left-wing Socialists took office in 2007, the unemployment rate in this country was 4.6%. Now it's 9.8%.
To put it another way... there was 7 million people unemployed in the United States, when Nancy conquered Washington. Now there's 15 million unemployed.
The price of a barrel of oil was $56.00. It's now $90.00. As you may have noticed, a gallon of gas now cost over $3.00.
Underemployment went from 8% to 17% and depending on where you live, your house has lost between 20 and 30 percent of it's value.
As the 112th Congress is about to be sworn in next month, and as Nancy flies home to California for the holidays on a private military jet, we can reflect back on the 111th Congress -- the one controlled by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid -- they added more debt onto the back of Americans than the first 100 congresses combined.
Soon-to-be former Speaker has a nice ring to it, doesn't it folks?
The Washington Examiner reported, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-SC, says Federal Communications Commission should be renamed the "Fabricating a Crisis Commission," following a vote by the panel's three Democrats to approve proposed rules that amount to a hostile takeover of the Internet by a government agency acting illegally. Sen. DeMint said in a statement today: "... I intend to prevent the FCC or any government agency from unilaterally burdening our recovering economy with baseless regulation."
.
Senator-Elect Rand Paul, R-KY, says he will stand by Senator DeMint: "Unelected bureaucracies once again enacting rules, clearly overstepping their authority. Congress must stop this and other out of control federal agencies. I will join in this fight with Senator DeMint in 2011."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, in his last ditch effort to "pay back" his Hispanic supporters for his election victory in Nevada, tried to ram the DREAM Act through Congress, but failed in the Senate today.
Once you realize liberals regard illegal aliens as “Undocumented Democrats”, then it's not surprising they would try to pass an amnesty scam, before the new Congress is sworn in, in January, to buy them off as lifetime democratic voters.
The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) estimated that approximately one million illegal aliens would have eventually enrolled in public institutions as a result of the DREAM Act, and each student would have received nearly $6,000 in tuition subsidy each year from taxpayers. With the defeat of the DREAM Act, taxpayers have saved over $6 billion annually.
But there is a hidden, bigger agenda here, that many people may not realize yet. The uber progressive left currently in offfice, would love to have a full blown open borders policy to enable a globalization agenda. If the Left Wing Socialists deteriorate the United States to the level of Mexico, that would then eliminate us as a world leader and in turn, would open the door for a United Nations global governance.
Common sense prevailed today, but this isn't the last we've heard from the Dems to advance their radical anti-american liberal agenda.
The U.S. Senate voted to add an amendment to the 2010 Transportation Appropriations Bill that will end taxpayer funding for ACORN, the leftist advocacy organization that helped bring Barack Obama to power. The bill passed with an 83 to 7 vote. The only Senators who voted in favor of supporting ACORN with taxpayer money were: Dick Durbin (D-IL) Roland Burris (D-IL) Robert Casey (D-PA) Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) Patrick Leahy (D-NY) Bernie Sanders (I-VT) Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
If Congress did investigate ACORN, who would they put in charge? Barney Frank? Wait a minute... wasn't it Barney Frank that was called upon by the Consumer Rights League to investigate ACORN and he refused to do so? With the latest investigative findings, lets hope the IRS will finally take away the tax exemption of this criminal group.
4th ACORN video surfaces... San Bernardino, California.
ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson was asked on 890am WLS Radio's "Don & Roma Show" what he thought of the 5 day-old ACORN story.
"I don't even know about it," Gibson said, laughing. "So you've got me at a loss."
What does this say about the "major" media ignoring issues here in America? Speculation is only possible at this time, but maybe they can't find the angle to disentangle their friends out of this mess.
The Wall Street Journal reported on October 14, 2008:
During his (Obama's) tenure on the board of Chicago's Woods Fund, that body funneled more than $200,000 to ACORN.
In November 2007, Senator Obama addressed ACORN and thanked the organization for its work.
“I’ve been fighting alongside Acorn on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, Acorn was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”
With Obama's ties to ACORN, we can only conclude they just report the news that this administration wants reported.
Even though the controlled media isn't reporting on this story, somehow Senate Republican Leader Dean Skelos found out, and is asking Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and Comptroller Tom DiNapoli to stop any state money from going to ACORN or its subsidiary organization, the New York Agency for Community Affairs.
NOW... A man and a woman went into the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, (ACORN), housing office in Baltimore with a hidden video camera posing as a prostitute and her boyfriend, complaining about how banks would not give them a loan for a house. (ACORN became infamous last year when it was investigated for voter registration fraud in 14 states, and again just recently, 11 ACORN workers were accused by Florida prosecutors of falsifying information on some 900 voter registration forms). The staff was happy to help, seemingly unfazed, by the fact the boyfriend said that they wanted to smuggle 13 minor teenage girls illegally from El Salvador, to “learn” how to do what his girlfriend does, which was very clearly admitted to be prostitution. The ACORN representative suggested that they could claim at least some of them as dependants and get a child tax credit for them. Not only is all of this wantonly illegal, it’s immoral on a level that is reprehensible. But apparently it's OK with the Oval Office, and the Congressional Black Caucus as these “public servants” have been complicit in the protection of ACORN and in the never-ending increase in its funding and power in Washington, D.C. Since 1994, ACORN has received federal taxpayer money, in the amount of $53 million. What amount of federal tax dollars is ACORN eligible to receive in Obama's 2009, Stimulus Package?... $8.5 billion.
FOX TV and Glenn Beck were the first to break the story. Margaret Williams, an ACORN official from Maryland said,
"It is clear and not coincidence that FOX continues to attack and divide our nation along racial lines. We believe our country is beyond this type of attack and call on all Americans to demand that FOX stop its racist coverage."
But today, U.S. Rep. Charles W. Boustany, Jr., [(R-LA], called for a hearing to investigate ACORN, following evidence of suggested tax fraud.
Rep. Steve King [R-IA], also calls for Congressional investigations. He said...
“As this video confirms, ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awa15-QMutI ), ACORN continues to operate as a criminal enterprise. Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers, Barney Frank and other Democrats on Capitol Hill continue to protect and fund ACORN while blocking Congressional hearings on ACORN’s operations and finances."
And yet another casualty: Census Bureau severs ties with ACORN. Census director Robert Groves wrote in a letter that it no longer had confidence that ACORN was effectively managing the partnership.
Rep. Michele Bachmann [R-MN], has requested Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Chairman Barney Frank conduct a congressional investigation into ACORN, concerning its use of federal funds.
Rep. Roscoe Bartlett [R-MD]: "Absolutely, there should be a congressional investigation since we now have a very apparent pattern of improper activities by ACORN."
Sen. Mike Johanns [R-NE], has proposed an amendment that would prohibit ACORN from receiving funds from the current transportation and housing appropriations bill.
Nothing's shocking anymore, as a second undercover videotape exposing alleged corruption at ACORN has been released, with a sting at their Washington, D.C. office. See it here:
On December 1, 2007, at the Heartland Democratic Presidential Forum, (a forum exclusively for thousands of community organizers, including the pro-Obama "community organizing" group ACORN), Barack Obama was asked:
[If elected president of the United States, would you agree in your first 100 days to meet with the delegation of representatives from these various community organizations, The Campaign for Community Values; could they count on you in your first 100 days to sit down with them?]
"Yes. But let me even say before I even get inaugurated during the transition we're going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We're gonna be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America."
Rush Limbaugh reminds us...
"Remember, ACORN is Barack Obama’s training ground. When he got to Chicago he became a community organizer with ACORN. He taught them how to do things; they taught him how to do things. We now have an ACORN-type community agitator as president of the United States."
In addition to the $10 billion over the next 10 years and the horde of 17,000 new employees that will be used against small business, (and to collect fines from the people who don't want to participate in government run healthcare), the I. R. S. is demanding 1,054 new auditors and staffers to get things done for the man in the White House, just to watch over the initial implementation of Obama's unconstitutional Socialist healthcare scam. Of course this will include new facilities and computers for the latest goon squad, to run roughshod over the American people, which will additionally cost the taxpayer more than $359 million in fiscal 2012.
