ARE WE ALREADY OVER THE FISCAL CLIFF?
America went over the Fiscal Cliff years ago.
The 16+ trillion of debt plus the ramped up
freebies and older obligations means we have been
realistically in the “Fiscal Canyon” for at least a decade.
The tax thieves that cleaned out the treasury
are now going to solve a debt problem that will
take at least 20 years? Do you really accept that?
How many lesser problems have they ever “solved” for
over a year or two (by postponing reality)? Many.
Taxing the rich is a bold lie. Mouthy billionaire Warren Buffett
has 44 billion but if he gave every cent to the federal
gov-meant today that runs the monster socialist
state of America for 5 days. Yes, its that bad.
Its the spending stupid and always has been.
The pawn media fooled you again with class warfare lies.
The thieves are the 30+ year power hungry congressional folks
and their penchant for toxic socialist policies that
grow the monster gov-meant, create dependency and buy votes.
Any attempts to freeze, reduce, consolidate or reform
(outside the military) are met with angry warnings of doom which
only keeping the status quo socialist minds in charge can
remedy. Please, all of WeThePeople are not that dumb.
Now the socialist game is to get a lot of taxes past the Republicans
then blame them for the further rotting of America…all the while
boldy lying, boldly borrowing, boldly printing money and blaming
demons instead of their wild spending toxic socialist policies.
Gird your loins.

Here we go again, first it was that stimulus crap to the tune of billions… Then we had to bailout those Wall Street scumbags… Yea, “Wall Street” the most corrupt criminal organization on the planet today…? (The United Nations is second)
Now, our reelected Lord and Savior who greatly added trillions in the last 4 years to reach this unprecedented $16+ trillion debt zenith… Has showed his criminal contempt for the American people first by his continuing incompetence and once again by placing the blame for this staggering $16+ trillion debt squarely on the pain stricken bruised shoulders of, “we the hard-working taxpaying citizens…” (unfair) ah will maybe ah i think YES…
No one really cares any longer if our God-given freedoms are now evaporating at a frightening pace…(relocation camps coming soon to an impoverish neighborhood near you)
They despised our Constitution, and everything it stands for big time = (over-regulation insanity) here we go….
Nobody really seems to give a rats behind that our kids are already thousands of dollars in debt… Or the fact that we have now fallen victim to this wicked satanically controlled government of itself, by itself and 100% for itself… Yes, I guess you didn’t love them kids enough to fight back when these people in power stole their future…. Now all school age kids have $250.000 price tags strapped tightly around their necks… The future is clear your children will work like slaves giving up 80% of their take-home pay to an evil government bureaucracy consisting of fat lazy wicked self-centered above every law bureaucrats…
No, this time it’s all about that imaginary fiscal cliff #$%@!% that has you cowardly creatures shaking in fear while your precious world crumbles before your feet…
THIS FISCAL CLIFF CRAP IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE!…

My Dec 4 post a few places..under Fiscal Crisis etc topics:
OzBama is what he is…a radical socialist apostle…of course the media changes his dirty diapers 24-7…
Notice neither side has mentioned replacing the toxic Baseline Budgeting system or a multi-year freeze…what does that tell us about how serious the elites are? Go ahead, pretend they care…I cannot.
Anyone WANTING to know basic economic history knows the democrats’ policies will rot a nation as they have done all over the globe for decades.
The arrogant apostles of utopian socialism (aka dimdems) lie because they must, smear because they must, distract because they must and find demons for their failures because they must…OzBama is the boldest liar ever…BUT shielded by the most corrupt pawn media ever…that is major. Who can believe he will put America 1st for the 1st time in his life? What fool?
Controlling 95% of a nation’s media is every socialist’s dream for a reason..ask Fidel.
The pantywaist Repubs cower before the savage media that hates them and listens to those wanting them to be democrat-lite…the moderate socialists…what a sad joke…gird your loins…the house of cards, printing billions we do not have, borrowing billions we do not have and spending (to buy votes/grow-gov-meant) mega billions we do not have while 50 million are on Food Stamps etc..is vile, is criminal …

GOOD HERITAGE SUMMARY OF THT CLIFF LIES ETC DEC 5:
Editorial Exegesis
Demo deficit reduction plan
“Both the White House and House Republicans are pretending that their goal is ‘reducing the deficit,’ which they suggest means making real spending choices. … Since 1974, Capitol Hill’s ‘baseline’ has automatically increased spending every year according to Congressional Budget Office projections, which means before anyone has submitted a budget or cast a single vote. Tax and spending changes are then measured off that inflated baseline, not in absolute terms. The most absurd current example is Mr. Obama’s claim that his ‘$4 trillion’ plan reduces the deficit by about $800 billion over 10 years by ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But those ‘savings,’ as he calls them, are measured against a White House budget office spending baseline that is fictional. Those wars are already being unwound and everyone knows the money will never be spent. But they are called ‘savings’ to gull the public and make the deficit reduction add up to a large-sounding $4 trillion. … In Washington, Democrats designed this system to make it easier to defend annual spending increases and to portray any reduction in the baseline as a spending ‘cut.’ Chris Wallace called Timothy Geithner on this ‘gimmick’ on ‘Fox News Sunday’ this week, only to have the Treasury Secretary insist it’s real. Republicans used to object to this game, but in recent years they seem to have given up.
In an October 2010 speech at the American Enterprise Institute, House Speaker Boehner proposed that ‘we ought to start at square one’ and rewrite the 1974 budget act. But he then dropped the idea, and in the current debate the GOP is putting itself at a major disadvantage by negotiating off the phony baseline. In a press release Tuesday, his own office advertised the need for ‘spending cuts’ that aren’t even cuts. If Republicans really want to slow the growth in spending, they need to stop playing by Beltway rules and start explaining to America why Mr. Obama keeps saying he’s cutting spending even as spending and deficits keep going up and up and up.” –The Wall Street Journal

“I have several pet peeves, and one of them is the idea that when Americans get to keep their own money, it somehow ‘costs’ the government.” –columnist John J. Miller
“[T]he message coming out of Washington, especially from our leftist politicians and the news media, is that we solve our budget problems by raising taxes on the rich. If Americans were more informed, such a message would be insulting to our intelligence. There are not enough rich people to satisfy Congress’ appetite.” –economist Walter E. Williams

MY POST ON RCP UNDER RAND PAUL SAYING…LET OBAMA OWN TAX HIKE:
Who really believes the dimdems and their pawn media will not continue to blame shift their dished misery?
What fool believes the pawn media will not change their dirty diapers 24-7?
What fool believes the Repubs will put on man pants and be blunt to the public about the arrogant apostles of utopian socialism?
The dimdems socialized medicine (at 300% what they said it would cost), spent 6 trillion we did not have to buy votes (it worked), they printed tens of billions we do not have, they borrowed tens of billions we do not have …
all the while making semi-conservative promises they never intended to keep to restore some fiscal sanity but NOW they will OWN it? Maybe in a nation with a real media of real journalists…not here anymore…do what the democrats do when they control only the House…fight tooth and nail change nothing…
sooner or later conservatism will be called in to clean up the mess…just like in states rotted by the dimdem socialists…they run out of money/the best flee…the modern democrats cannot manage a hot dog stand…they believe in a fantasy-based utopian socialism…which is why I call them dimdems.
All this ya ya is silly…look at the record of the democrats since 2006…the same thing they always do over tax over spend buying votes, blame shift and boldly lie daily…nothing changes except we get poorer, the gov-meant becomes a bigger monster, we all lose freedom and they come at us with more more more more.

Presidents have been talking about the federal government’s spending appetite for decades.
“We can’t spend ourselves rich,” Ronald Reagan once said.
Even President Obama said that “every day, families sacrifice to live within their means – they deserve a government that does the same.”
In the most recent talks to avoid the looming fiscal crisis, though, House Speaker John Boehner insists the president has been singing a different tune, and is “just not serious about cutting spending.”
But how much spending are we actually talking about? It may be difficult to wrap one’s head around how much the federal government doles out every day, but here is a snapshot.
Each day during the month of November, the government brought in a little more than $5 billion of revenue. That’s a lot of money – but the U.S. government spent in that time more than $11 billion a day. The difference is roughly $6 billion.
Of that $11 billion, the top items were as follows: The Department of Health and Human Services, which goes through roughly $3 billion a day; Social Security, which shells out roughly $2.5 billion a day; the Department of Defense, which runs a $1.8 billion daily tab; and interest on the debt, which eats up $854 million every day.
Economists say the latter number is the most concerning of all – since the country gets practically nothing in exchange for that. It’s just paying the bills on the debt, and the number is subject to wild fluctuation.
“We’ve got a $16 trillion debt, and servicing the debt is hard now,” former Democratic Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana said. “This is with interest rates at record lows. God forbid something should happen to cause interest rates to go up even a little, back to where they ordinarily would be, the burden of this debt would become immensely greater.”

MY LATEST POST…under RCP “Troubled GOP” (attack article of course)….
Notice the arrogant apostles of utopian secular socialism (aka dimdems) are NEVER “troubled”…LOL…
they are focused on monster control freak gov-meant/hi debt/hi taxes/hi dependency/printing $$$/borrowing $$$…buying votes 24-7. The pawn media changes their dirty diapers 24-7 while it attacks anything anti-socialist.
The Repubs are only “troubled” because some want to be dimdem light/socialist lite…and the sane minority want smaller govt/lower debt/less spending (16 trill debt)/no more debt ceiling rises/no more printing $$$ we do not have/no more borrowing 45% of the spending…for this they are a “troubled Party”. only the brickheaded socialist Borg could label them so wrongly.What is it about Greek style socialism that so hypnotizes the dimdems and their pawn media? Its failed for decades all over the world and they think it somehow fits America. How dumb can they be? This long long recession will never end as the python of socialism squeezes the life out of another nation. Demons, bold lies and promises are the way of the utopians so expect more of that month after month after month.The scourging of America will continue. Its best simply to walk away from the OzBama “talks”…let him lead and not keep blaming others for naturally toxic (dumb) policies.
A man with 900+ Executive Orders and 30+ czars is a dictator at heart so expect more bold lies and excuses as he ignores the basic laws of economics.
Fidel is so very very proud of Barackaclaus.

Nowhere to Cut?
In 2011, the federal government wasted $115.3 billion of taxpayers’ money in improper payments: money paid in the wrong amount, to the wrong person, or for the wrong reason. Most of these excess payments—$107 billion, or 93 percent—were in just 10 programs, including Medicare fee-for-service ($28.8 billion), Medicaid ($21.9 billion), the Earned Income Tax Credit ($15.2 billion), and Unemployment Insurance ($13.7 billion). Implementation of updated computer systems and fraud detection methods and stricter documentation requirements would reduce payment errors.
Federally subsidized Amtrak lost $84.5 million on its food and beverage services in 2011, and $833.8 million over the past 10 years. It has never broken even on these services.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) identified 34 areas in which federal agencies or initiatives have overlapping goals or duplicative services, which cost taxpayers billions of dollars each year. There are:
More than 80 economic development programs operating out of four different agencies: the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and Housing and Urban Development, and the Small Business Administration;
More than 100 economic development programs spread across five agencies within the Department of Transportation;
Seven federal agencies, including the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Development, which have more than 20 programs addressing homelessness;
44 employment and training programs in the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Labor; and
82 programs on teacher quality run through the Departments of Defense, Education, and Energy, as well as NASA and the National Science Foundation.
In 2008 and 2009 alone, the Department of Justice spent (DOJ)$121 million to host or participate in 1,832 conferences.
At one conference, petite Beef Wellington made the hors d’oeuvres menu, at a cost of $7.32 per serving.
An internal audit found DOJ did not keep costs to a minimum, despite federal guidelines. The most expensive conference reviewed in the audit was held in Istanbul, Turkey, and cost $1.18 million.
The General Services Administration (GSA), which is responsible for managing federal buildings and helping to cut costs, held a conference costing $822,751 in Las Vegas. At more than $2,500 per employee, it included $44-per-person breakfasts and commemorative coins for conference participants that cost $6,325.
In fiscal year 2010, the federal government spent nearly $1.7 billion to maintain 77,700 underused or unused buildings.
Eliminating both the New Starts and Small Starts transit grants programs would save taxpayers $5.6 billion over the next five years and $16.3 billion over 10 years. It would get the federal government out of the business of subsidizing high-cost, low-value local transit projects, such as $900 million for a 10-mile extension of the Bay Area rail system in San Jose and a $1.6 billion grant to construct a Honolulu rail line.
The Department of Agriculture’s Office of the Chief Information Officer funded a $2 million intern program. Only one intern was hired full time as a result.
Fifteen federal agencies are involved in administering 30 food safety laws, resulting in fragmented food safety oversight.
The U.S. Navy bought 450,000 gallons of biofuels for $12 million, or almost $27 per gallon, to conduct exercises to showcase the fuel and bring it closer toward commercialization. It is the largest biofuel purchase ever made by the government.
The Internal Revenue Service stored 22,486 items of unused furniture in a warehouse at an annual cost of $862,000.
An Inspector General audit found that the Department of Energy cannot locate $500,000 worth of “green energy” manufacturing equipment that was bought with stimulus money.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs funded a fish hatchery that never saw a fish hatch for fourteen years, continuing funding even after the land had been converted to office space. Taxpayers spent $46.1million in fiscal year 2012 to operate the national fish hatchery system.
The Department of Agriculture endorsed the “Meatless Monday” initiative and then a few weeks later announced plans to purchase$170 million worth of meat from drought-stricken livestock producers.
The Labor Department spent $495,000 in stimulus money on 100 television commercials to advertise the Obama Administration’s Jobs Corps Initiative for green jobs.
The Department of Veterans Affairs spent $6.1 million, or $3,389 for each of the 1,800 employees that attended two training conferences last year in Orlando, Florida. The agency Inspector General’s office is investigating the conference organizers for possible ethics rules violations. The department also spent nearly $50,000 to make a video parodying General Patton that was shown at the conferences and $98,000 on promotional items. The items included pens, highlighters, hand sanitizers, and USB flash drives with VA’s logo.
The State Department began a Diplomatic Culinary Partnership program in 2012. Over 80 American chefs have been inducted into the American Chefs Corps and will support the State Department by preparing food for visiting officials and traveling around the world to engage in “culinary diplomacy.”
The Department of Veterans Affairs spent $221,540 on an 11-day conference at a resort—enough to pay annual disability compensation for six totally disabled combat veterans.
Department of Agriculture and Department of Energy officials approved a $76 million grant for a wood-to-ethanol plant in Soperton, Georgia, despite concerns among the project’s researchers and other officials. The plant closed within a year of receiving the loan guarantee, without producing any ethanol.
The Rural Business Enterprise Grant Program gave $55,660 to a New York State dairy farm to package its butter in smaller, eight-ounce containers.
A grant totaling $25,000 was used to transcribe a Maldivian love ballad.
Taxpayers funded a National Institutes of Health study costing $55,382 in 2011, and $170,000 over three years, to study the hookah smoking habits of Jordanian university students.
The Department of Agriculture’s Market Access Program spends $200 million a year to help U.S. agricultural trade associations and cooperatives advertise their products in foreign markets. In 2011, it funded a reality TV show in India that advertised U.S. cotton.
The Environmental Protection Agency awarded a $141,450 grant under the Clean Air Act to fund a Chinese study on swine manure and a $1.2 million grant to the United Nations for clean fuel promotion.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that some people are double-dipping from unemployment and disability benefits programs. This lack of coordination among government agencies is costing taxpayers $850 million annually. GAO found one individual who drew $62,000 from unemployment insurance and disability insurance at the same time she was working and earning an additional $7,000 in income.
In 2011, the top 20 percent of farm subsidy recipients received almost 80 percent of all premium subsidies. Twenty-six farm businesses each collected over $1 million worth of subsidies.
Taxpayer losses from the failed solar cell manufacturing company Solyndra, which received a federal loan guarantee, totaled $528 million. Beacon Power and Abound Solar, two other failed alternative energy companies, cost taxpayers $46.5 million and $73.1 million, respectively.
A Congressional Research Service report revealed that among individuals earning $1 million or more, 2,840 received unemployment benefits in 2008 and 2,362 received the benefits in 2009.
The Conservation Reserve Program pays farmers $2.1 billion annually not to farm their land for a period of at least ten years.
Sources include Congressional Budget Office and Government Accountability Office reports, Wastebook 2011 from the Office of Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK), and news articles from various media outlets, all of which are on file at The Heritage Foundation.
