Comments on: UPDATED: Breaking News(speak) (Reeds All) https://barelyablog.com/breaking-newsspeak/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: Dennis https://barelyablog.com/breaking-newsspeak/comment-page-1/#comment-19678 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 17:07:18 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=40278#comment-19678 BHO’s HYPOTHESIS: The aged will suffer enormous medical burdens; the youth will not be able to attend college; our teachers will stop teaching because of low wages; we must increase the Debt Limit and Raise Taxes or else we will default.

BHO’s ANTITHESIS: No to Cut, Cap, & Balance. No to 3 or 6 month extension. A Bill extending into 2013 is the best solution because we will not default and the economy will improve, and there will be jobs and we will get around to cutting the debt.

BHO’s SYNTHESIS: By doing it my way, we will provide low-cost medical for the aged; we will enable the children to afford college; we will safe-guard teacher jobs and tenure and benefits and pay; we will create jobs.

BHO’s CODE: We will mandate laws to safe-guard jobs, especially Union Jobs, so UAW workers can be secure…so that Boeing has to allow unionization at all plants…so our newest Federal Employees are secure in their jobs, benefits, and pensions.

BHO’s PERPETUALIZATION: We will rewrite all the TITLES and use EXECUTIVE ORDERS, the Constitution be damned, to implement our CHANGES should the Congress & Senate not comply with our wishes; and we will pressure all private businesses, their CEOs, and their Bondholders with government take-overs, like GM, if they fail to accept our “recommendations”. We do these things to preserve the freedoms of the working person and to create fairness of opportunities and to garner an equitable amount of tax dollars from the wealthier of our citizens.

SIEG HEIL!…errr…oops…cut the camera! Cut the mic! Get me outta here!

Whee doggie, ain’t it good when we all work together. Fortunately, I read somewhere, Ah Another Rush, in the comments. Someone described the Spaniards under the Muslims. The ie: Christians (supposedly) waited until the Muslims got complacent and overnight took their country back. It don’t help much now, but it breeds optimism that someday, we too will get it back.

Get our troops out of Germany, Japan, and the U.K. There is no strategic purpose served by these troop deployments.

Abolish the Department of Education and the Department of Energy. Both of these bureaucracies serve no useful function.

Radical pare back or abolish outright the FDA. The FDA is the single biggest impediment to the development of effective anti-aging therapies and 3,000 Americans suffer and die needlessly due to such impediment.

If these things are done, the budget would either be balanced or close to it.

Second you have the Mainstream Big Government Republicans like “weasel” Mitch McConnell’s whose priority is to just take over the government by embarrassing Obama:

Thirdly, are the Tea Party crybaby hypocrites who want the budget balanced via the magical Tooth Fairy Constitutional Amendment but refuse to: (a) raise taxes, (b) cut senior citizens who receive $ 26,000 / year on average in federal spending, or (c) cut the war. Here is a perspective on the cost of the Afghan War:

http://costofwar.com/en/publications/2011/afghan-war-costs-compared-state-budget-shortfalls/

Instead, they “boldly” call for an end to “cow flatulence” studies. Well, the entire NSF budget equals 2 days of deficit = 250,000 senior citizens on the federal dole = 18 days of the Afghan war. Fair enough to call for cutting NSF (or whatever) but as Ilana correctly states: “I hope that every one of the already stale Tea-Party freshmen who refused to quit the wars to save some money is tossed out of office.”

These politicians merely reflect Americans who want all the Federal “Goodies” charged on a phony Federal Reserve Credit Card.
