Stimulus plan - borrowing from Peter to pay Paul (OneNewsNow.com)

Stimulus plan - borrowing from Peter to pay Paul (OneNewsNow.com): "Brian Riedl, an economist at The Heritage Foundation, says Congress is promising a pain-free solution to the recession that does not call for sacrifice. 'People believe that the government has some magic wand to magically pass a stimulus bill and make the economy grow. All this is is really the Obama debt plan,' he contends. 'All Congress is going to do is add $800 billion to the national debt. They're going to borrow $800 billion from one part of the economy, give $800 billion to people in another part of the economy, and then somehow tell us we're richer.' Riedl believes it is important to note that government cannot inject money into the economy without taxing or borrowing it out of the economy first. Some conservative lawmakers are upset that the Democrats' stimulus package includes taxpayer funding for contraceptives and the abortion industry. That prompted House Minority leader John Boehner to ask: 'How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives? How does that stimulate the economy?'"

Now this makes my blood boil. Supposedly, my family should benefit - because Tim is out of work ... I should be happy.

But I'm not. I majored in math - I loved it. This is just a trick, like the one that divides by 0 using algebra to prove that 1 = 2.



My favorite story book character as a pre-teen was Robin Hood. According to other articles that I've read - they are comparing Obama to Robin Hood.

BIG DIFFERENCE.

Robin Hood took back from those who took too much - the government and bloated "church" system and gave it to the hard working families who had produced the money and food in the first place. Protecting women and children was a high priority. He protected and aided church and government that did not take too much from the poor and instead did their best in the first place to protect and help the poor.

Obama is taking from upper middle class and upper class HARD WORKERS to pay the lazy daisies who just want a free government ride and squall and bawl about how unfair their life is. AND he wants to put the women to work and kill more babies - or prevent them from getting born - they aren't REAL. He and Democrates think that hiring a person because of what they look like or believe is better business that how competent that they can do a job. Tim's sin for being out of work? It started over 20 years ago because he was a single white male.

For Obama to be Robin Hood - he would have to shut down a HUGE portion of the White House and government buildings (and live in the caves in the woods!). Make all of the government officials move into smaller houses and live on $100,000 or LESS a year (most of my family lives on $30K or less a year). I'll be generous here because they do have to travel ... wait, isn't travel paid for by US. And leave the companies producing jobs alone to make more jobs (instead of over regulating and taxing them out the wazoo.) Then let the poeple being taxed to death - have their money to choose what to buy instead of supporting and trying to prop up dying corporations riddled with corruption.

Why is my blood boiling? Because as hard as my family works to survive and get ahead and be independent of the government - we can't. My dad has 3 jobs, plus a business on the side. A brother-in-law that hasn't had a raise in 3 years because he is at maximum on the pay scale. And somehow we just can't make ends meet. We live in postage stamp size trailers - mine despirately needs a new roof - the walls are rotting out because the desiners didn't extend the roof past the walls. We eat stew as a main dish - not a side dish - and often, because you can always add water and some herbs to make it stretch. No, I don't WANT a hand out. I want to have my rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness to not be squelched into a government mandated mold.

I want to stay home with my children, raise them to be Godly, hardworking, adults. I homeschool, homebirth, I love it.

I don't want to have to pay for a "stimulus" package for the rest of my life - we are STILL paying for the New Deal under Roosevelt. More debt never solved anything, any financial planner worth his salt will tell you that. And having fewer babies is just making the problem worse and worse. Just how many young people does it take to take care of an old person ... OH WAIT - I forgot - we're doing drug mixing experiments on the elderly hoping that they will die off too (check out some of the articles at Mercola.com - on the FDA and the meds the doctors push!), they are getting better at that too - they don't die now days until the lawyer/drug/med system has milked them dry and left the dregs and debt for their only child. Once there were 6 - 12 kids to take care of elderly parents, plus 20 - 30 older grandchildren. Now those 4 old people (because they got divorced and remarried) have 1 or 2 kids struggling to make ends meet and if they are lucky, 2-3 grandchildren in high school or college, but more likely in elementary or jr. high. ..... RIGHT. That's going to work.

So - who owns America when the government goes belly up?

This American has no money left for anything other than basic survival - I can't even afford DSL - isn't that a basic right? (I'm kidding.)
So many blogs leave me feeling out of touch with reality. $5 meals? I'm trying to average $2.50 a meal for a family of 5. That's averaging 50 cents a plate. That's a lot of garbage food. Ramen Noodles and stuff like that. .... Organize your house, these bins are a bargin at only $10 each! ... shoot, I cringe at $1 each at the Dollar Tree. .... Check out the remodel of my house, wasn't this before picture yucky .... uh ... WOW, you changed that? I'll take it! ..... Must have pieces of clothing, shoes, make up? .... I don't get the shoe or purse buying.

There is a name for people like me ... I learned it in first grade ... at least once or twice a week, my teacher diligently reminded me of my status in society, "I haven't got time to explain simple things to poor white trash like you." Later, I learned I was a "redneck" too.

Funny, I thought we were happy, church going, hard working, clean, self sufficient, and giving. I look back at my pictures - I was CUTE. What gives?
