Since the majority of our dumb-assed politicians don't have the balls to cut spending and balance the budget and start paying down the national debt of over $14 TRILLION and rising to over $20 TRILLION under Obama... here's a way to at least balance the budget this year!

Is America Better Off Today Than It Was Two Years Ago???
While reading this article, "20 Questions for the Obama Regime", the last question prompted the title to this blog. Not withstanding the other 19 very important questions, answers and FACTS in the rest of the article, lets look at a few FACTS, in my own words!
Two years ago, unemployment was under 6% and was usually between 4% and 6% during President Bush's two terms... and since Obama took office, unemployment has hovered between 9.5% and 10%, even after Obama promised us it would not go over 8% if Congress passed Obama's Spendulus package, which has mostly failed... so we're not better off with unemployment. http://www.miseryindex.us/URbyyear.asp?StartYear=2000&EndYear=2009
Two years ago, the national debt was under $10 TRILLION and since Obama took office, his deficit spending of over a TRILLION dollars and nearly TWO TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR has raised the national debt to OVER $13 TRILLION... a 33% increase since Obama took office. (Side note: When the Democrats took over Congress in 2006, the national debt was a little over $8 TRILLION so it's up around 60% in only four years of Democrat control... with projections, if Obama and the Democrats stay in control, of OVER $20 TRILLION!!!)... so we're not better off with the deficits and national debt.
The Misery Index during eight years of President Bush averaged only 8.11% and under Obama, the Misery Index has averaged 9.88%, OVER a 20% increase. The Misery Index has been down in single digits from 1993 until Obama took office and has been in double digits the past nine months... so we're not better off with the Misery Index. http://www.miseryindex.us/indexbypresident.asp

Since 9/11, there were NO terrorist attacks on American soil but since Obama has taken over and started babying the terrorists... or rather "man caused disasters" as he and his administration started calling terrorist attacks, there have been MANY terrorist attacks on American soil, fortunately a couple of them have failed due to the DUMB-ASSED terrorists but if they had succeeded, there would have been dozens, if not hundreds of Americans killed in those failed attacks. The ones that have succeeded resulted in dozens of American deaths on American soil... so we're not better off with terrorist attacks IN America!!!
I could go on and on but I think you get the point!
AMERICA IS NOT BETTER OFF TODAY THAN WE WERE TWO YEARS AGO... THANKS OBAMA!!!!

No Taxpayer Union Bailouts... Period!
The liberal-socialist Democrat led Congress is now trying to bailout all of the unions to the tune of $165 BILLION. This just cannot happen. America is already on the verge of bankruptcy and the Democrat led Congress has more than DOUBLED the National Debt in the past three years, from $6 TRILLION to OVER $13 TRILLION today with a projected $20 TRILLION National Debt by 2015 unless something is done TODAY!!! This debt is being passed on to your children and grand-children and it simply has to stop.
Using the Tea Party Citizen Action Center, please do like I did and send the following email to ALL of your elected thieves... ooops.. I mean your politicians.
Below is the email I just sent to all of mine!

***Please do not reply to this email--this confirmation simply lets you know that your message was sent.***
Leonard Vasbinder:
Your message has been sent to the following recipients:
* President Barack Obama
* Vice President Joe Biden
* Senator Mary Landrieu
* Senator David Vitter
* Representative Steve Scalise
* Governor Bobby Jindal
* Secretary of State Jay Dardenne
* Attorney General Buddy Caldwell
* Senator Conrad Appel
* Representative Kirk Talbot
The content of your message is as follows:
Dear [The message(s) you sent had each recipient's name here]:
Enough is enough. The United States is on the verge of insolvency... actual employment is approaching 20% and Americans are finding it harder and harder to make ends meet.
And yet, elected officials on both sides of the aisle are pushing a taxpayer funded bailout of poorly managed union pension plans that, according to a number of news reports, may carry an initial price tag of $165 billion.
H.R. 3936 and S. 3157 must never see the light of day. Union pension plans are not a government entitlement program and the American people have no duty or obligation to financially support your political schemes, scams and payoffs. This insanity must stop!
Further...
What Happened To Obama's Promise To End Bailouts?
On April 14, 2010, Obama met with Congressional leaders from both parties and promised to put an end to bailouts.
Specifically, according to a statement issued by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs after the meeting: " ... he [Obama] reaffirmed his belief that we must end taxpayer bailouts, end 'Too Big To Fail' and that he would not accept a bill that did not pass that test."
But apparently, many in Congress aren't taking Obama at his word. And why should they? After all... they know the score... they can read the handwriting on the wall... and they know what they must do to maintain power.
After all, in his autobiography "Audacity of Hope," Barack Obama himself admitted, "I owe these unions."
The American people are turning against the extreme policies of the Obama administration and the irresponsible spending of liberals in Congress.
A revolution is brewing. Actual unemployment is approaching 20%. Our economy is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy and liberals know that rewarding Big Labor is one of the steps that they must take to counter the backlash that is coming from the American people to maintain power.
And, yet the liberal politicians in Washington seemingly have no problem fighting YOU with YOUR MONEY.
Well... we have a problem with it and we know that you have a problem with it too. And together, we're going to let them know that we're not going to permit or allow political payoffs on the taxpayers' dime.
Sincerely,
Leonard Vasbinder

GOD Help America... Check Out This Graph Of The Deficit
Click Image To EnlargeYes folks, that graph shows the OUT OF CONTROL spending by the Obama administration... many times worse than what was done by George W. Bush, which was bad enough. In just one year, Obama did more DEFICIT SPENDING than George W. Bush did in his lat four years in office... including the first Wall Street Bailout right near the end of his last year in office. Here are the actual deficits for 2005 thru 2008 (W's last four years) which total $1.1 Trillion over four years... and then Obama's 2009 ONE YEAR deficit of $1.4 Trillion and the 2010 Deficit is projected to possibly be even more than 2009's deficit.
Date Value
2005 -318346
2006 -248181
2007 -160701
2008 -458555
2009 -1412686
This graph and information is right from the White House Office Of Management And Budget (or the OMB). Here's the same graph on the St. Louis Federal Reserve's page.
Lenny Vasbinder
Here's another view of the graph...
And check out what the NATIONAL DEBT has done since 1939 and then in the last four years of GWB and now in just one year of Obama. This is what happens when THE PEOPLE sit on their hands and let crooked politicians do whatever they want with OUR MONEY. Even the below images are out of date now. As of today, the actual National Debt is OVER THIRTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS with OVER ONE TRILLION DOLLAR PER YEAR deficits planned for the rest of Obama's term so the NATIONAL DEBT WILL BE NEAR TWENTY TRILLION DOLLARS AFTER OBAMA!!!!
