1. Younger Workers Have Most to Lose In Social Security Breakdown, Jim Angle, FoxNews, 1/13/11
Harry Reid claims that Social Security is doing "just fine". Yet the system is bankrupt, Congress has stolen SS money since the days of Lyndon Johnson.
"Over 75 years, Social Security faces a deficit of around $6 trillion. To make Social Security permanently solvent requires an extra $15 trillion," said economist Andrew Biggs, deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration during the Bush administration.
But the first chunk of that comes in in just a couple of years when the federal government has to start paying off the $2.5 trillion it owes the Social Security Trust Fund, which is nothing but a pile of IOU's. That's because the federal government borrowed all that money and spent it, meaning younger taxpayers will have to make it up."
How do we get out of this mess--higher taxes--job killing taxes. taxes that will push US jobs to other nations.
2. Feds want to overhaul school lunches, By TIM CARMAN, Washington Post, 1/13/11
Did you know a bureaucrat from Washington wants to look over your shoulder as you make lunch for your children? Obviously they know more about YOUR child than you do. Maybe they want to pay for your child's shoes and dance lessons as well--we know they do not want you to buy donuts, ice cream, go to MacDonalds (maybe 750,000 lost jobs on that one)--Michelle wants to be the Mommy of America's children.
""The numbers are rather troubling. We have today nearly a third of our youngsters at risk of being obese or, in fact, are obese in our schools," he said in a conference call. He added: "If we do not get our hands around the obesity epidemic in the United States by the year 2018, we will face nearly $344 billion of additional health care costs. That's money we won't be able to spend on innovation and creating jobs and improving our education system."
Plus some of these kids become attorneys, members of Congress, criminals--we are at risk for everything bad--and good. Government now wants to make laws do to "risks. "We have today nearly a third of our youngsters at risk of being obese" Actually it is 100% at "risk" of being obese. Did you know that 100% of society is "at risk" of dying within the next 150 years? Time for government to end that risk as well.
3. Brokaw: I'd Be Nervous Going Into Bar or Restaurant in Arizona on Saturday Night Because of Guns, By Noel Sheppard, NewsBusters, 1/13/11 http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sh...#ixzz1B2eMaR6h
Tom Brokaw is not a friend of the Constitution. he is really afraid of those who have guns. Note he is concerned about the guns held by honest people in Arizona, but not a word about the Mexican cartels shooting up ranchers in Texas and Arizona. So, Mexican druggies are OK with guns, honest Americans are not. Poor Tom, he is losing it....afraid of good people and protective of bad ones. Guess he thinks there are no criminals in Arizona.
"TOM BROKAW: Here is why I think there are a lot of Glocks being sold: because gun owners are worried that they're going to be outlawed. That's what happened when President Obama first took office is that people were buying ammunition and storing it in underground bunkers because they thought he was going to outlaw guns and ammunition. Gun control is too simple a phrase to define all the complications and nuances of it, frankly. In Arizona they have a wide open system. I would be nervous about going into a bar or restaurant in Arizona on a Saturday night where people can carry concealed without permits."
4. Has Massachusetts Experience Put ObamaCare On A Path To Repeal?, By SALLY C. PIPES, Investors.com, 01/12/2011 http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnal...To-Repeal-.htm Massachusetts is going broke thanks to their version of ObamaCare. "Spending has exploded. Medicaid, a problem in every state, is destroying Massachusetts. The health overhaul was really Medicaid expansion, and with the rolls up nearly 25% since 2006, Massachusetts is struggling to pay the bills.
The other promises turned out to be bogus as well. Despite the near-universal insurance, the state still spends $414 million on uncompensated care, an expense that Romney and his architects promised would disappear. Emergency-room use has not dropped as predicted. From 2006 to 2008, emergency room use under Mass Care increased by 9%. And private employer insurance costs, far from dropping, have continued to increase."
