I managed to get an outline of Obama’s jobs plan. What do you think?

Obama’s three-part jobs creation plan. A continuation of WTF (Win The Future)

1.       Quick Jobs© Stimulate Private Hiring
We will begin awarding private companies who hire a worker who has been unemployed for more than 73 weeks, has participated in a Federal, State, or local jobs training program, and has successfully been accepted into the Quick Jobs© program, with a 6-month membership in Amish Mart’s Jelly of the Month club. [counted as taxable income]

2.       Jobs-Jobs-Jobs© Green Jobs Program
We will start dumping all kinds of money into Green projects. Vote for this bill and some of this juicy cash will end up in your district.   Acceptable projects will include wind and solar farms. Once these farms are up and running, they will stimulate someone to start building the necessary electrical infrastructure necessary to actually bring power from these types of energy plants somewhere useful, which will create even MORE jobs.

3.       Fair Fees Service (FFS)
In order to fund Obama’s New Deal without more Bush-esc deficit spending, and to maintain his promise not to raise taxes on people earning less than $250k, we will institute Fair Fees. These fees will be accessed on hard work and good ideas.

Workers working more than 30 hours per week will be charged a 5% fee on all wages over 30 hours, and %8 on hours above 40 hours. In addition, anyone in an advanced position (obviously having worked hard already) such as management or company officer, will be accessed a yearly fee, in addition to hourly fees, of $1000. Salary employees will be assessed a 3% fee on all earnings. A yearly fee will be accessed on all professional degrees, excluding law and journalism degrees.

Fair Fees will be accessed on all good ideas by the newly created Fair Fees Service, a vast bureaucracy that will create thousands of new jobs. The fees will be calculated according to an adorably confusing algorithm that will require an advanced degree in accounting to understand, thus resulting in even MORE jobs, and will in all likelihood result in a new accounting specialty in schools, requireing new teachers, and EVEN MORE JOBS.

We will fund the FFS with fee calculation fees. These fees will be a flat rate of 7% accessed on all Fair Fees, as well as all other non-tax fees, non-tax penalties, non-tax taxes, and non-tax calculation service fees and non-fee payments and penalties.

Wow! We’re really getting excited about this new program! The more we talk to each other about it, the more we’re convinced it will ‘fix’ the economy. Too bad we have to worry about the Obama-hating Republicans and their deformed child The Tea Party slowing down Obama’s ingenious progress with their blind and ignorant Obama hate.

This is so funny. I can’t help but to laugh. I’m watching the House debates on the Boehner bill for raising the debt ceiling. This is how the debate is going:

A Democrat takes a turn and demagogues the bill based on one or more of the following arguments.
This bill will…
End medicate and social security.
Destroy the economy.
…on the backs of the poor and elderly.
Protects the rich [from our righteous anger].
“Big Oil!”
“Slashing education!”
Something about country clubs…
Political theater.
Why don’t you work with us???
Come to the middle you guys. It’s way over here on the left, btw, you extremists.
“They’re trying to dismantle the government! It’s a freighting time!”
“Literally holds a gun to the head of the American Economy.”
“Worst bill that anyone could imagine in the history of this nation!!!” — D-Texas, Sheila Jackson Lee (How does one qualify such a statement?)
“Bush recession”

Then a Republican says his thing. The bill isn’t doing any of that. We’re just trying apply some rational level of responsibility to our money spending. America would like that to happen. Medicare will die if we don’t so something about our spending.

The funniest thing is when the Dems complain about the Tea Party Republicans, when it was just 1-3 years ago that they were shocking the shit out of us spending unprecedented amounts of money and caused us to hire those crazy folks just to counter the dam President. — Backlash — it’s what got you your President, dumbasses. Now we’ve got a government full of idealistic kids and poets expert in demagoguery. I hope we elect some adults come 2012.

I wish we could turn bogus arguments into energy. C-SPAN would be our national energy source if we could… I really shouldn’t be watching this, but I just finished to do list for the next week.

Boy… The house is having trouble coming to order. The jerks keep chit-chatting while a representative is speaking.

My favorite analogy so far: We’re like a family that earns 50k per year, spends 80k per year, and has a credit card balance of 300k.

Favorite Democratic definition: Balanced Budget Amendment = Republican Dogma. (Beats out “tax saving” = tax increase)

Favorite logical consequence of Dem arguments: A balanced budget amendment is radical.

The S & P recently  lowered the US credit rating outlook.  The reason for the downgrade, in a nutshell, was:

The United States has a large debt and deficit compared with other highly rated nations, and unlike with those other nations “the path to addressing [the debt and deficit] is not clear to us.”

That’s kind of a leadership – dare I say image – problem, isn’t it??? lol Glenn Beck has been warning of this for two years. lol

I think liberals and democrats have some wrong thinking on the idea of paying higher taxes. Like I said a couple posts ago, rich people will be investors, if not outright businesses. Taxing them takes carefully targeted investment out of the market, and then tries to ‘invests’ it otherwise according to bureaucracy. If the electorate think society needs something that only government should provide, why can’t regular people pay and even share for it – minus financially immovable people of course?

Also, there’s no reason we can’t get the economy back to 90s strength. It’s going to take risk and new ideas of course, and taxes just slow all that down. Once we’re back to 90s strength, then you can start raising taxes on The Rich. It’s actually a good idea then, in order to slow the economy down, to prevent all kinds of goofy crap, and build up a surplus to use in the next downturn.

That’s the idea anyway. The problem is wanker politicians who spend and pump regardless. Bill Clinton explained on an interview I heard a while ago that the reason the housing market was pumped up so huge was because it was the only thing growing our economy after the tech bubble blew. We kept low interest rates even though the housing market was hot as hell – getting people buying and selling homes, stuffing all the cash up in the air to be counted. Ooooooh, Mr. Politician, you’re making the economy so good – yeah!

Damn it Republicans, what are you doing? Shut up about the 9-11 first responder healthcare bill. Yeah, it’s a poorly written bill. Democrats wrote it didn’t they??? It’s a sloppy, ill-planned, dishonest political move.

Who cares! It’s $7 billion. Let it slide. You don’t need another reason to look like assholes! You’ve already killed the ‘Dream’ Act.

Get your eye on the prize you nitwits! You need to spend your energy switching Washington back to a growth economics focus. You’ve got a Presidency to win in two years. And you’ve got the mother of all poorly written bills – the monstrous healthcare bill, maturing as we speak, with potential to do God-knows-what depending on numerous variables – not the least of which being its Constitutionality.

Sometimes you guys… Sometimes…

The Republicans, strategically, have a lucky series of events in the next two years. So they better not blow it… They just bent the Liberals over with the tax cut extension, which by the way has about the queerest name: Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act. They’ll have a majority and overall increased power in a few day, primed and ready to make spending cuts. Then the extension expires during that same term, 2012, so they’ll have a chance to extend it further.

I can’t believe they took the bait on the ‘Dream’ Act. It’s obvious bringing that thing up was a political stunt. They held no hearings or any of the other usual stuff you do when you actually intend on passing a bill.

McCain, he was bitching about the DODT repeal, with good reason, the damn thing steamed though under a gay-rights flag, disregarding unit effectiveness. But shit, we all knew it was going to crash through one way or the other – soon. The military knew. They’re ready. They’ll be fine. So let it go quietly.

Seriously, they need to get focused.

It feels really good to watch one of these big horrible things finally die. Hmmmmmmm… I hope these past two years of naive Liberal idea implementation tide America over for a couple decades, until a new generation emerges eager to believe in unicorns and the unicorn prince.

Probably not though. All the crazy Liberals got infected with some serious confidence and they don’t seem to want to let it go. I heard a lady today, a ‘contributer’ on the news, arguing that we should let ALL the tax cuts expire because government needs to take the money and create jobs… Because “The Rich” are sitting on their money…

I don’t understand how you can become an adult, and have such a poor understanding of business
and economics, to think something so odd. Seriously, when government ‘creates’ a job who do you think pays that wage? We do. The private sector needs to create x number of taxable ‘jobs’ to finance every y number of government jobs.

And of course ‘The Rich’ are holding their money. All the variables are up in the air. Rich people in our time didn’t get rich with luck. They combine talent, resources, and ideas. They play good odds. They only make a bet when the risk outweighs the reward. Right now there’s uncertainty, serious uncertainty, so they’re bidding their time until an advantage presents itself, then they’ll strike.

Business isn’t hiring also because of uncertainty – and because there’s reduced demand. The word isn’t BIGGER anymore. Today the word in successful business is BETTER. In other words, do more with less. That’s the mentality of the strong survivors.

For business to start hiring again, they need to expand – increase capacity. To do that, they need investment. Either way, there’s a guy sitting there studying a spreadsheet. There are numerous entries for costs in that spreadsheet. Somewhere at the bottom is profit. In that guy’s mind he is calculating RISK, as best as he can despite the uncertainty.

Before that guy starts accepting resumes, he needs that spreadsheet to show him something that will outweigh the RISK he imagines. Almost ALL the Democrat’s legislation these past two years increase the costs in that guys spreadsheet, making it less competitive against RISK, and increase uncertainty, which causes that guy to imagine greater risk – with good reason.

The Farm Bill is an intrusive and massive stack of new legislations that will increase taxes and food prices at the stores while enriching the pockets of Monsanto and George Soros, who is the second largest holder in the company. Obviously, Monsanto Company is pushing hard for its passing. Ironic that the United States FDA Deputy Commissioner is none other than Michael Taylor, appointed by Obama himself. Taylor is a former employee of Monsanto. He served as a leading lobbyist for Monsanto Company. He previously also worked in other roles in the FDA and Federal Government.

This is so insane it makes me want to scream. This corrupt bloated government is so out of control and feels they have so little accountability to the people that they don’t even try to cover up these blatant connections and ties. Who the hell do these worthless petty criminals think we are? The government has gotten as brash as it has bloated. They just got their asses handed to them in the midterm elections, and they are still pulling this crap! Send Washington a message; Write your representatives and Senators and tell them to vote this pile of shit down!

Here’s what a Noisy Dove Contributor suggested:

Dear Senator/Representative,
Please vote down the “Farm Bill”, which will increase taxes, food prices, and intrusion into the lives of Americans. The Monsanto Company, who is strongly in favor of the bill, stands to make a fortune off this bill and all the new unnecessary and intrusive legislations in it. This is OUTRAGEOUS, seeing that the FDA deputy commissioner is Michael Taylor, a former employee of Monsanto. Taylor was a LOBBYIST for Monsanto! This is RIDICULOUS! The corruption and slimy work of the federal government is disgusting and you can help start setting it straight by voting this horrible Farm Bill down! If you intend to remain in your current position next election, vote no on the Farm Bill, or I will not support you and rally everyone I know to vote you right out of office. If you vote for this bill, you are a part of the corruption and problem in the government and do not deserve to represent anyone. If you support the Farm Bill, that will clearly indicate you approve, support, and encourage the government corruption, which is not the kind of character we the people deserve in office. Get this one right!

Sincerely, XOXO

1. Expensive Death

We spend 1/3 or more of our overall health care resources in the last year of life, often exceeding hundreds of thousands of dollars, and only achieving a few months of weeks of poor quality life.

But how do we deal with this? Death panels? Will a population that doesn’t trust bureaucracy well enough to send cash in the mail trust one to manage The Plug?

What about the market? Currently, commercial insurance pays away while the family - does whatever can be done – nursing grandma along for months, or years, senile, hopeless, unaware, with a final price tag often exceeding a million dollars – an amount that if spend elsewhere might vaccinate 100 school districts and check another couple hundred for scoliosis.

Dying is scary. But we need to find a way to face death without fighting it tooth-and-nail. We need to stop using enormous amounts of resources on hopeless cases in exchange for prolonged agony. We need to let dead people die – but we won’t.

2. Heath Care is Expensive

When you buy a computer you either go shopping around, looking for a good deal on a system, or you buy a system that specifically meets your needs. Then you pay for it, either with cash right then or with a credit card and pay it off later. You don’t appear at Best Buy and expect everyone to wait on you and bring you the most advanced system available; a state-of-the-art $1500 processor, $450 for water cooling, 1200 watt $300 power supply, $200 case, $800 RAM, $800 RAID of HDs; and ignore the prices, because someone else is paying.

But that’s how we buy health care. We complain about the price of our insurance, but when we need treatment we expect space age miracles, and when we really get sick, we expect the insurance to show up at the hospital with dump-trucks loaded down with cash.

Anything treated this was is going to get expensive, as it should. We are talking about prolonging our lives and improving the quality of life. It shouldn’t cost less.

We need to accept the price of our long comfortable lives, but we won’t.

3. Chronic Illness

Why don’t we treat health insurance more like car insurance? Certain parts of health care, although sometimes expensive, aren’t unforeseen, like regular tests like cholesterol levels and simple treatments for mild illnesses like a sore throat. Why can’t we just pay for this kind of thing like we do everything else, and save insurance for the sudden horrible things no one can afford?

Regardless, chronic illness fits neither the medical insurance model nor the car insurance model. Some people, for whatever reason, are burdened with regular, constant, indefinite health care costs – disproportionate to the population, like diabetics.

We talk about poor people who don’t have access to health care resources. But that’s not the issue. The issue is sick people who don’t have access to health care resources, or don’t have access to enough. In other words, many poor people don’t worry about getting health insurance, even when it’s free, because they don’t need it, they aren’t chronically ill. While some people do have health insurance but they still struggle to get by, because they have numerous expenses due to their chronic illness.

If we want to address inequality, and fix the shortcomings of our health care system, we have to recognize the inequality of chronic illness, but we don’t.

It starts back a few days ago when Bill O’Reilly was on The View, a show where women talk inanely about issues. [no, I'm not saying every woman in the world is on this show] The group was thoughtfully discussing why Obama is having so much trouble with the American people.

O’Reilly was making the point that there exists between Obama and the average Americal a huge proverbial chasm separating how they see the world. His example of this disconnect was the mosque controversy in NY. Obama approached the issue as though it were one of freedom of religion – while 70% of Americans see plainly that building a mosque so close to the 9-11 sight is inappropriate because [and here it comes] Muslims killed us on 9-11. This statement caused Whoopy Goldberg and Joy Behar to walk off the set (then walk right back on).

I’ve said before I don’t have a problem with “The Ground Zero Mosque”. And personally, I don’t like how Bill described his idea. I don’t think it actually offended any Muslims, but saying that sort of thing gives bitchy Liberals more little sticks to swing and unfairly further the crazy-O’Reilly-narrative with their Teabagger generalizing double-standard. He could have used better words, and the words he used distracted all the stupid people – the ones who need to listen – from the very true point he was making.

The fact is: Muslims did kill us on 9-11. There was a network of guys who pulled off an attack on our country and killed over 3000 people, and those killers did this based on ideas and motivations found in their sect of Islam. Also, one of the biggest threats to peace in the world right now is radical Islam. People know this. This is what people think. Bill said it too simply. He assumes American’s have good sense and don’t need crayons. He’s right. What other society would have had zero backlash against Muslims after 9-11?

The average American starkly sees why constructing a Mosque so close to the site of mass-murder by Muslims is offensive. These Americans aren’t interested in limiting the freedom of anyone’s religion, or keeping Liberal support for a political agenda. They just see this as common sense, best to avoid, find another spot, respect the victims’ suffering. The President has a different way of looking at the issue – apparently. That’s the point Bill was making before he stepped in it.

So since then Bill has been hashing over this whole big to-do, complaining about political correctness running a muck, how it’s wearing on the American people’s constitution for politeness. He is right. It is difficult to have this much needed conversation because everyone is expected to pretend that they don’t have any less-than-enlightened inclinations about Muslims – it’s just those other guys we have to reeducate.

So a couple days ago Bill is having a Factor debate, which includes a contributor representing either side. Juan Williams is representing the that-was-a-stupid-thing-to-say-Bill side, and someone else was representing the Muslim-problem side. Besides working as a contributor on Fox News, Juan did the same thing for NPR, until 36 hours after this debate. Here it is:http://video.foxnews.com/#/v/4381309/factor-debate-over-danger-from-muslim-world/?playlist_id=86923

Now, Juan is a really likable guy. He’s friendly and honest. He’s one of those guys who you can never count on which side of the issue he’ll fall – but you can count on whatever he says, it will be sincere and thought provoking. He’s not toeing anyone’s line, in other words, and makes great points and always adds to the conversation. He’s my favorite kind of contributor. He makes me think and question my ideas.

Right off Juan concedes that Bill is right about one thing: Political correctness is run-a-muck. He also added that this is a bad thing because an over-adherence to political correctness makes needed conversation impossible because it forces people to ignore reality. He then went on to describe an example of the problem, that he himself feels uneasy when he sees people dressed in Muslim garb boarding his plane. He wasn’t advocating such feelings, he was making a factual statement, highlighting a problem he himself is part of, and went on to argue against Bill’s use of words, because they could further this problem.

So 36 hours later, after receiving pressure from CAIR (a Muslim civil rights group), NPR abruptly cans Juan over the phone, an employee of 10 years. The fool president of NPR, Vivian Schiller, claimed the reason for the firing was that Juan, as an NPR contributor/corespondent, isn’t supposed express opinion.

And this is where the fun begins. I swear, it’s like NPR forgot my birthday, just remembered, and felt guilty and got me something REALLY good.

1. Juan wasn’t expressing opinion. He was stating a fact, a helpful fact in countering Bill’s MuslimsKilledUs argument, and a necessary fact in the Muslim-American discussion.

2. There are numerous other correspondents and contributors for NPR on record making all kinds of offensive opinions at all kinds of venues. None have been fired.

3. Juan was holding up the pro-Muslim side of the Factor debate. So it’s obvious that those ninnies on NPR and the jerks at CAIR ignored the context of the statement, or didn’t even bother to read the whole transcript, and imprudently fired a very respected journalist in order to further petty political ends. They’ve been looking for a reason to cut this Fox guy out. Juan Williams, a black man on FOX, a FOX/NPR contributor, harms the Faux News narrative they try to spin.

Vivian Schiller then goes on TV and says that Juan’s opinions should be shared with his psychiatrist and publicist, not as an NPR contributor. Juan was also the ONLY black person on NPR – lol.

Now EVERYONE is pissed – across the spectrum. ALL the ladies on the View think NPR made a mistake, those morning idiots on MSNBC say NPR should hire him back, Bob Beckel [liberal political annalist] is forgoing his yearly donation to NPR in honor of Juan Williams, and the Fox people are PISSED their buddy Juan got screwed and are having a hard time keeping it professional [I love Megan Kelly]. The only non-anti-NPR report I read was a Times piece trying to present the controversy as a FOX-opinion-journalism vs NPR-fact-journalism debate… please… The Times and I stand in line together for food stamps…

Now it’s apparent that NPR REALLY stepped in the warm sticky shit. People are advertising their funding sources. A movement has started efforts to remove NPR’s Federal funding. It’s fund raising week – lol. And this whole thing has proven that NPR is a Liberal organization and has totally undermined their credibility.

Now I understand many don’t feel NPR is unfairly Liberal. That was my sentiment as well. I was kidding myself of course, just like you, but I can’t stay convinced any longer, not with this idiot Schiller at the helm, not with George Soros giving them 1.8 million dollars, not with this blatant double-standard, not with this obviously politically motivated knee-jerk vilification of a good man. And seriously – this was just a plain stupid move. It’s blown any credibility I personally had in the organization’s editorial choices – the opposite of the stated intention.

There’s more to come I’m sure. Schiller is going to get canned I bet. She may have ruined NPR. They might have to stoop to capitalism, or worse yet, STOP PLAYING PRAIRIE FUCKING HOME FUCKING COMPANION, or tone down their minimum three shows a day focus on something about homosexuals.

Happy Birthday to me.
NPR’s up a tree.
ACORN their funding dear congress.
He he he he he he.

Congress, you’re discussing a bill that would, after an evaluation by the Joint Chiefs as to how, do away with Don’t Ask Don’t Tell – essentially making it no longer grounds for discharge to be openly gay.

Listen people, this is going to happen. Even if this particular bill doesn’t do it, and even if this bill is held up, it’s going to happen. And the current attitude toward the subject is generally rational – surprisingly. Sure, there are a number of activists waving the rainbow flag trying to kill Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in order to fulfill their gay-rights agenda. But look at the bill’s focus. Before implementation, it required evaluation by the Joint Chiefs in deciding how to make the change. You’re not going to get better than that until Palin is sworn into the Presidency.

So let’s not act ridiculous and make contrived and theoretical arguments against allowing gays in the military. Save your energy for the more serious lunacy coming down the Congressional grey-water pipe. Seriously, you’re doing more harm than good. The more you make the standard arguments the more riled up the gay activists get and the less combat-effectiveness oriented this whole discussion gets.

You don’t think making such a change while we are fighting 2+ wars is the best time? Bull shit! If you think this all volunteer army will miss a beat letting their gays proclaim what their buddies already know – you’re dead wrong. No fighting force throughout history is even comparable to our current military in organization and effectiveness. They could make this change on a Sunday morning standing on their head pissing a rainbow and be on time for church.

You think open gayness will harm moral? Hell, maybe it will. Personally, I doubt it – kids don’t care about that crap anymore. The only fear in that respect the brass seem to have is of problems with the enlisted men. But that’s only natural – kids will be kids. They like to give each other a hard time about anything.  And those kids will learn proper behavior post-haste after their first General Issue ass-wringing.

You worry about the type of characters that will appear in uniform? Come on… That stereotypical Will and Jack (From the show Will and Grace) aren’t the type of fine human being who accepts the honor of military service. Will and Jack are gay-pride groupies. There are plenty of people – hard core red blooded Americans – regular in every way, except that they are blessed with an honor-bound adventure-craving spirit, and find sexual release with the same sax.

Bottom line, if a young man or woman is willing to put their mind and body in harm’s way to protect this country, you should support that effort – regardless of their open romantic involvements, assuming those involvements won’t deteriorate combat effectiveness. And this bill makes that effort. Don’t miss a chance to not be a jackass. Save it up for this Cap n’ Trade nonsense.
