Down the Toilet WITH YOUR MONEY!

The New York Times: Reports on the eight hundred and twenty five billion economic plan of the House of Representatives. Folks if you work long hours and just get through the week, well its time to take your pay check and throw it down the toilet. Its more simpler and more green, the Democratic House of Representatives wants to spend 825 Billion to get the USA out of this recession and prevent a Great Depression. Folks it will not work, when has government ever really worked when it goes something big, did the FDR New Deal get the USA out of the Great Depression, the simple answer NO, it was World War Two that got the USA out of the Depression. Did the LBJ Great Society work, last time I looked there are still poor in the USA. It was the Reagan Revolution that got the USA off the floor, the Reagan policy was simple but complex, small government, no billions of polices that have failed in the past. An increase in Defence spending, this pumped money in to the economy and created good jobs. The third part, deep tax cuts, give people their money back and they will spend, its not the governments money. Thus folks after you have worked for 40 hours, done your week or month and get paid do the green thing and flush your money down the toilet, its efficient and at least your waisting your money. Call Congress OPPOSE this economic plan, win one for the Gipper.

Obama and Osama bin Laden

The Times: Reports on a CBS interview with the President - Elect Obama and his views on Osama Bin Laden. The President - Elect stated what is present Bush policy on OBL, capture or kill him but more important to make him impotent when it comes to terrorism. I recall when Bush stated such a policy the Elite Media jumped on him, not for the policy but because he was being diplomatic and not a cowboy in their eyes. Even President Bush has stated that his use of cowboy terms after 9/11 did not help his image thus his more statesman policy, it should be noted that just after 9/11 Bush recalled a old West poster that had a simple message, the villain was wanted dead or alive. This after 9/11 was what the USA needed to hear but to European Ears it did not sound sophisticated, thus the more refined policy chosen by Bush 43. Thus when Obama states the same policy its not news or even gets a critical reaction. Double Standard Elite Media.

Clinton ALL THE WAY

Fox News: Reports that Hillary Clinton has been passed by the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee to be the next Secretary of State. This appointment by President Obama will either be the best choice since Robert F. Kennedy was made Attorney General by his brother, President John F. Kennedy or the worse since Nero thought he could preform on stage to the Senate. In many respects it is not down to Secretary Clinton, it will be down to one man, not President Obama but President Bill Clinton, lets see how long he can tow the line with the Obama Administration.

Obama and Iraq

The New York Times: Reports that the Defence Department is creating a new plan to get out of Iraq before the agreed time table with Iraq and the sending of the troops to Afghanistan. The Times states the new plan is being designed based on the comments of President - Elect Obama, not at his request. Lets get real folks, this is the Times placing pressure on Obama, the Defence Department is always planning, the Liberal Times is more interested in getting out of Iraq no matter if Iraq falls apart or that Iran takes over the oil fields. As stated in this blog, due to the economic considerations and the improved security environment in Iraq the West has to leave Iraq, but its a matter of when, from the statements of Obama he is not going to leave and then see Iraq fall in to civil war, or Iran take over the oil fields. Thus Obama might have a fight on his hands on both the economic and foreign policy front, not with Republicans but with Democrats.

Deaths in Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports that two more soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan, the death total now stands at 141. I hope the USA and UK surge works this year, how many more deaths can the Armed Forces take, the common factor it seems from these deaths is how young the personnel are, they are fighting a War that in many respects is something out of World War One. Who would have thought we would have trenches in the 21st Century and that our troops would not get the best gear to fight the enemy. Lets make sure our Armed Forces Personnel are the best but also that they get the best gear to fight the War in Afghanistan.
