o'one percenter - Spring Break "Let'em Eat Cake!" [redux]

From: ck Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2012  Subject: Spring Break

     Isn 't it amazing that some things don't ever get published for the taxpayer. 

     I checked this on Snopes, Truth or Fiction, and found it to be reported true.  They even say the White House told the media to pull the story.  I guess this is executive privilege.
Malia on break in Mexico

     After driving the U.S. more deeply into debt than any other President, this should make you shake your head.  If George Bush's daughters or Bill Clinton's daughter had done this, it would have been all over the news and the voter's would have been calling for heads to roll 24/7.
But with the chosen one, you hear nothing on the major media.
     Want to know where Obama's 13 year-old daughter went with 12 friends?
     On "spring break" in Oaxaca Mexico, on your dime.
     She took two jets, 12 friends and 25 secret service men.
     A thirteen year-old?  What the?
     Why haven't you heard about it?
     The Obama Administration has had the Secret Service scouring the web ordering that any website mentioning this be taken down because letting the travel plans out could have endangered the president's daughter's security.
     Nonsense, the "royal couple" just want to hide the way they are ripping off the U.S. taxpayer.  Only a few Canadian Web-sites still have it up.
     The Obama's are laughing at the "suckers" who are funding their Imperial Lifestyle.
     This trip cost more than most Americans make in their entire lifetimes.

2012-2016: SCOTUS - Get ready to Gasp!

From: dbh/ferg Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Subject:  Get ready to Gasp!

IF THIS DOESN'T SCARE YOU! NOT MUCH WILL!

If Mitt wins the nomination, I will enthusiastically support his candidacy.  For my friends who have hesitation on that score, I'd just ask you to keep four things in mind:

1. Justice Scalia just turned 78
2. Justice Kennedy will turn 78 later this year
3. Justice Breyer will be 76 in August
4. Justice Ginsburg turned 81 about a week ago.
        In addition, Justice Ginsburg has Pancreatic Cancer.  Justice Stephens has already said he would retire and is just waiting for Obama to be reelected.  The next president could appoint as many as 4 new Justices over next 8 years.  This election is about more than ObamaCare Tax.
     We wish them all well, of course, but the brute fact is that whoever we elect as president in November is almost certainly going to choose at least one new member of the Supreme Court, in addition to hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges, all of whom will be making momentous decisions about our lives for decades to come.
     If you don't think it matters whether the guy making those calls is Mitt Romney or Barack Obama, I think you're smokin' something funky. 
     So for anybody who is thinking of not voting because your favorite didn't get nominated, or writing in a candidate who can't win, imagine this:

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ERIC HOLDER
After you have stopped gasping, kindly send this forward to your list of concerned citizens.

2012 - Voight: Obama controlling American media like Hugo Chavez does in Venezuela [video 8m11s + re: 2016 movie]

 From: fco Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 Subject: Voight: Obama controlling American media like Hugo Chavez does in Venezuela

article source: http://dailycaller.com/2012/08/27/voight-obama-controlling-american-media-like-hugo-chavez-does-in-venezuela/

Photo: AP

     TAMPA, Fla. - Award-winning actor Jon Voight told The Daily Caller at the Republican National Convention that he thinks President Barack Obama's administration has "taken over" the mainstream media in a manner similar to how leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez controls media in his country.

     "The media has been taken over by this administration," Voight, an outspoken Hollywood conservative, said in an interview with TheDC.  "It's not less than what has happened in Venezuela with Hugo Chavez, really, because you can't get the information through.  I'm giving you this because I want to get the press my opinion.  You can put it in any way you want to.  But, it's become pure propaganda and we should be appalled."

     "I mean look at the main media is not going to cover the Republican convention?"  Voight added as an example.  "This is propaganda, pure and simply.  They say, "well, we'll give them an hour."  They'll edit an hour - well, what will they edit out?  What is the story they will tell?  Do you understand?"

     "Guys, you should be appalled," Voight continued.  "America, guys, wake up.  You should be appalled that they can get away with it, that they can attack - the Republican Party is a victim of a bias, of a destructive bias against the Republican Party.  It's been going on for all this time and it's getting worse and worse.  And, now this?  Come on, people, stand up."

     Voight said he thinks Mitt Romney will win the upcoming election in November, too.

"Gov. Romney, I think because of Gov. Romney's great talents, his great compassion, his great gifts of leadership, he's going to win this election," he said.  "The people are going to become aware of these qualities.  Now, what the other side has done is try to diminish all this - they've lied about him, they've done all this stuff trying to hide the true character of this man and the greatness of the fellow.  Once people come to see that, they will be voting for him."

     Voight also recommended that voters watch Dinesh D'Souza's new film, "2016."

     "It's a tremendous piece of work - as an artist, I look at it and see this is a very well-produced piece," he said.  "But this piece gives you very good insight into what the Obama agenda is.  And, it's very concerning, but I say go see it.  It's not done in any " it's not a strident movie.  It's not polemical.  It's information and it's a very very well done documentary and it will give you understandings that you don't have because the media in our country has been bought and sold in some ways."

"There have been 12 Presidential elections that were decided by less than a 1% margin; meaning if less than 1% of the voters in certain states had changed their mind to the other candidate the outcome of the entire election would have been different, e.g. year 2000: Margin: less than 1%, only a few hundred votes in one state and e.g. year 1960: Margin: less than 1%.

2012 - Clock Shock: Debt > $16 Trillion

Clock Shock: Debt Nears $16 Trillion

By Doug McKelway, Foxnews.com, Friday, August 24, 2012

National debt could hit $16 trillion mark within days

article source: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/08/24/federal-debt-nears-16-trillion-with-no-easy-way-to-pay-it-down/

     In the time it takes you to read this story, the U.S. debt will have grown by about $4.4. million.

     The debt is now lurking just under the $16 trillion mark — a number huge enough to be almost incomprehensible to the layperson.  One way to visualize its magnitude: If you were to spend a dollar every second, it would take you 32,000 years to spend $1 trillion, or a mere one-16th of the debt.
     "The national debt is certainly a ticking time bomb.  There's no question that if we don't do something about it, it's going to go off," says Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition.

     Bixby, like most economists, thinks there comes a point when the debt becomes unsustainable -- when interest payments on the debt alone create an economic implosion.
     "We're spending about $200 billion on interest now.  That's much more than we're spending on operations in Afghanistan, more than we're spending on Medicaid," he said.
     Compounding the problem are the baby boomers.  The first of the tidal wave of Americans born in the post-World War II years are now retiring.  Many of them have had their retirement savings diminished by the bursting of the housing bubble and the subsequent recession.  More than ever, they're counting on government entitlements in their senior years.
     "We're facing this avalanche of seniors moving into Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security.  So federal expenditures driven by Medicare and Medicaid are going to go up faster than the economy can grow," Alice Rivlin, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, said.
     Rivlin thinks the demographic and fiscal storm clouds that once seemed distant are moving closer.
     "We don't need to make up scenarios.  We're seeing them in Europe even as we speak," she said.  "Countries like Greece, but much stronger economies than Greece -- Italy, Spain, to some extent France -- are finding that their debt has risen to a point that they can't borrow at reasonable interest rates."
     When governments can't borrow at reasonable rates, homeowners can't either. Paychecks, productivity and investments all suffer.
     Adding urgency is the approaching Dec. 31 deadline, when the temporary payroll tax cut and Bush-era income tax cuts expire, and when huge cuts to the military budget and other federal programs may kick in if Congress doesn't act.
     This week, Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Elmendorf warned that the fiscal cliff, or "Taxmageddon" as some have termed it, may spark another recession.
     "If allowed to occur ... sharp reductions in federal spending and increases in taxes will lead to a dramatic reduction in the federal deficit, trimming it by almost $500 billion next year," Elmendorf said.  "That would be a significant tightening of fiscal policy and would probably lead to a recession early next year."
     Even so, most economists agree that massive debt is not in and of itself a sign of economic Armageddon.
     "What matters more than the level, it's the trajectory," Andrew Fieldhouse of the Economic Policy Institute said.  "The trajectory is largely determined by decisions Congress has yet to resolve."
     Rivlin agrees.
     "We literally can't do it without stabilizing the rate of health care entitlements over time and stabilizing Social Security and at the same time reforming our tax code so we can raise more revenue," Rivlin said.
     But with both parties at an impasse in an election year, the combination of tax increases and spending cuts that most economists agree must happen seem unlikely to come from a deeply polarized Congress.
     What clearly would help, economists say, is substantial growth in the economy. Four years of stimulative efforts, while causing yearly trillion-dollar deficits, have not yet made that happen.

Newsweek cover article "Why Obama's got to go"

From: sassone Sent: Friday, August 24, 2012 Subject: Newsweek cover article Why "Obama's got to go"

Niall Ferguson: Obama's Gotta Go

Aug 19, 2012

Why does Paul Ryan scare the president so much?  Because Obama has broken his promises, and it's clear that the GOP ticket's path to prosperity is our only hope.

     I was a good loser four years ago.  "In the grand scheme of history," I wrote the day after Barack Obama's election as president, "four decades is not an especially long time.  Yet in that brief period America has gone from the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. to the apotheosis of Barack Obama.  You would not be human if you failed to acknowledge this as a cause for great rejoicing."

     Despite having been - full disclosure - an adviser to John McCain, I acknowledged his opponent's remarkable qualities: his soaring oratory, his cool, hard-to-ruffle temperament, and his near faultless campaign organization.

     Yet the question confronting the country nearly four years later is not who was the better candidate four years ago. It is whether the winner has delivered on his promises.  And the sad truth is that he has not.

     In his inaugural address, Obama promised "not only  to create new jobs, but to   lay a new foundation for growth."   He promised to "build the roads and bridges, the electric grids, and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together."   He promised to "restore science to its rightful place and wield technology's wonders to raise health care's quality and lower its cost."   And he promised to "transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age."   Unfortunately the president?s scorecard on every single one of those bold pledges is pitiful.

In an unguarded moment earlier this year, the president commented that the private sector of the economy was "doing fine."   Certainly, the stock market is well up (by 74 percent) relative to the close on Inauguration Day 2009.  But the total number of private-sector jobs is still 4.3 million below the January 2008 peak.  Meanwhile, since 2008, a staggering 3.6 million Americans have been added to Social Security's disability insurance program.  This is one of many ways unemployment is being concealed.

     In his fiscal year 2010 budget - the first he presented - the president envisaged growth of 3.2 percent in 2010, 4.0 percent in 2011, 4.6 percent in 2012.  The actual numbers were 2.4 percent in 2010 and 1.8 percent in 2011; few forecasters now expect it to be much above 2.3 percent this year.

     Unemployment was supposed to be 6 percent by now.  It has averaged 8.2 percent this year so far.  Meanwhile real median annual household income has dropped more than 5 percent since June 2009.  Nearly 110 million individuals received a welfare benefit in 2011, mostly Medicaid or food stamps.

     Welcome to Obama's America: nearly half the population is not represented on a taxable return - almost exactly the same proportion that lives in a household where at least one member receives some type of government benefit.  We are becoming the 50/50 nation - half of us paying the taxes, the other half receiving the benefits.

     Niall Ferguson discusses Obama's broken promises on "Face the Nation."

     And all this despite a far bigger hike in the federal debt than we were promised.  According to the 2010 budget, the debt in public hands was supposed to fall in relation to GDP from 67 percent in 2010 to less than 66 percent this year.  If only.  By the end of this year, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), it will reach 70 percent of GDP.  These figures significantly understate the debt problem, however.  The ratio that matters is debt to revenue.  That number has leapt upward from 165 percent in 2008 to 262 percent this year, according to figures from the International Monetary Fund.  Among developed economies, only Ireland and Spain have seen a bigger deterioration.

     Not only did the initial fiscal stimulus fade after the sugar rush of 2009, but the president has done absolutely nothing to close the long-term gap between spending and revenue.

     His much-vaunted health-care reform will not prevent spending on health programs growing from more than 5 percent of GDP today to almost 10 percent in 2037.  Add the projected increase in the costs of Social Security and you are looking at a total bill of 16 percent of GDP 25 years from now.  That is only slightly less than the average cost of all federal programs and activities, apart from net interest payments, over the past 40 years.  Under this president's policies, the debt is on course to approach 200 percent of GDP in 2037 - a mountain of debt that is bound to reduce growth even further.

Voter ID? 74% Say Yes.

74 Percent of Americans Believe Voter I.D. Should be Required to Vote

A controversy over voter ID laws is a prominent backdrop to this year's election, with courtroom showdowns in Pennsylvania, Texas and elsewhere over voting rights and otherwise mundane election... at the article source: http://amac.us/74-percent-of-americans-believe-voter-i-d-should-be-required-to-vote      A new Washington Post poll shows a whopping 74 percent of Americans believe photo identification should be required to cast a ballot in U.S. elections.      A controversy over voter ID laws is a prominent backdrop to this year's election, with courtroom showdowns in Pennsylvania, Texas and elsewhere over voting rights and otherwise mundane election procedures.      Overall, there is high, strong and cross-party support for such laws, even though a slim majority of Americans say they have heard "not much" or "nothing" about the issue.  Support dips among those who say they have heard more about new photo identification requirements but remains the majority position.      About half of those polled see voter fraud — people voting who are not eligible to do so or voters casting multiple ballots — as a "major problem" in presidential elections.  One in three see it as a "minor problem."  The numbers are nearly as high when it comes to concern about eligible voters being denied their rights.      Asked to trade off the two, slightly more Americans are concerned with fraud than with voter suppression, although stark partisan and racial differences emerge.  Two-thirds of Republicans see voter fraud as a bigger problem; nearly as many Democrats are primarily concerned with denying eligible voters access to the ballot box.      In the poll, African Americans are the most likely to see voter suppression as a major problem and the most likely to see support for the laws as an effort to boost one party over the other.  Nearly six in 10 African Americans sense that support for the laws stems from partisan politics.      While 44 percent of Americans perceive partisan politics at play in the support of such laws, far more, 57 percent, see a genuine interest in fair elections as a big motivator.      A challenge for opponents of the ID laws is that a slim majority of Americans see politics behind the opposition, with fewer sensing it is motivated by a real interest in clean vote counts.      Moreover, big majorities of those whom critics see as bearing the brunt of the laws are supportive of them, including about three-quarters of seniors and those with household incomes under $50,000 and two-thirds of non-whites.
