Incomes Decline

American incomes declined more in the three-year expansion that started in June 2009 than during the longest recession since the Great Depression, according an analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data by Sentier Research LLC.
Median household income fell 4.8 percent on an inflation-adjusted basis since the recession ended in June 2009, more than the 2.6 percent drop during the 18-month contraction, the research firm’s Gordon Green and John Coder wrote in a report today. Household income is 7.2 percent below the December 2007 level, the former Census Bureau economic statisticians wrote.
“Almost every group is worse off than it was three years ago, and some groups had very large declines in income,” Green, who previously directed work on the Census Bureau’s income and poverty statistics program, said in a phone interview today. “We’re in an unprecedented period of economic stagnation.”

The Romney Ryan Ticket

I couldn't wait to visit the Cafe to get their reaction to the selection of Paul Ryan after having been away on vacation (to Michigan which was great, and then to Lulu Land, California which was as expected) so I called Billy Roy to get a short briefing:

"Jim, I think Mitt's choice was pure Mitt, that being honest and courageous.  Folks need to remember this guy isn't really a politician, thank God.  He is a CEO, and a successful one at that.  Mitt picked the best man to join his team and to replace him if needed just like a great CEO would do.  Politics be damned.  Here were his choices as I saw them.


He could have gone politically cautious:

A: Select a candidate that would improved his chances of gaining swing states. Portman of Ohio would be one. Rubio of Florida, another.

B: Stay general, some say vague, in the specifics of his plans for tax, Medicare and Social Security reform. Same with his plans to reduce the size and regulatory power of government, and protect military spending.  This makes a smaller target for Obama to demagogue and keeps the focus on Obama's record.  This is what the typical DC consultant would have advised.

C. Hopefully win the Presidency in a squeaker, win the Senate and House, and engage the Democrats hoping to save the nation from economic disaster.

Or he could go bold:

A: Select a candidate, Paul Ryan, who will not only present the specifics of economic plans to save the nation from economic collapse but will indeed make those specifics the deciding factor in the November election. This is an "all in" move.

B: Bet the election on Mitt's belief that you can tell the truth to voters in 7-8 swing states about reform in a way they are willing to not only accept, but support in the voting booth.  Take advantage of Ryan's brilliant mind and that great smile.

C: Win the Presidency, House, and Senate along with the support of a majority of voters who have endorsed the specifics of a bold plan to reform government returning it to a constitutionally driven  free economy.  In other words go for a mandate not just on your team but on your policies as well."

"Jim you were once a CEO.  You know that unless you have the support of your people you don't want the job.  Right?  We cowboys love the way Romney has saddled up to take Obama and the idiot Biden head on with the issues that really matter.  After all, any intelligent person knows we are headed for economic disaster unless we change leadership."

Well, I felt better after talking with Billy Roy.  I felt even better after hearing Romney take on Obama's Chicago style campaigning tactics.  Instead of responding specifically to the lies and distortions, he went after the tactics.  Romney used terms like gutter.  He said Obama was beneath the decency of the office of the President.  He basically called Obama and his people liars while explaining why they had to stoop to such tactics, that being they couldn't run on their record.  Romney's alternative could be to counter each lie and distortion by attempting to correct these falsehoods which would put him on the defensive.  And remember the press isn't going to seek the truth.  Instead Romney is exposing the Chicago thugs for what they are and not honoring their trash by refuting it.  Smart!!

In summing up, both Romney and Ryan come from the Jack Kemp and Ronald Reagan schools of economics.  They know the only way to get out of this economic mess is to GROW.  While reductions are needed, only cutting government spending will not fix the problem.  Currently our expenses exceed our revenues at the federal level by about $1 trillion dollars with revenues in the $2.5 trillion neighborhood and spending in the $3.5 trillion range.  That $3.5 trillion is broken down about 1/3 defense and other expenses, 1/3 social security/medicare/medicaid, and the last 1/3 (frighteningly) interest on our debt.  Our country's gross domestic product is growing at an anemic 1-1.8% and will go negative if we continue with our current administration's plans.  WE NEED TO GROW OUR ECONOMY AT LEAST AT A 4% ANNUAL RATE.  And it can be done.  We just need to reform our tax code to provide incentives for businesses to invest while removing burdensome regulations from our private sector.  Eliminating the threats that Barrack Hussein Obama brings to all business people would unleash a growth spurt like we have never seen.

No one understands this better than the Romney/Ryan team.

Mitt, you done good.  Go get the SOBs.

Obamacare Will Be the Least of our Worries

Dropped by the Cafe this weekend to check in.  I thought the folks had been in shock since John Roberts double crossed his country.  The first response to my question regarding how Billy Roy Michum felt about our Obamacare concerns startled me to say the least.

"Obamacare is a meaningless issue.  It don't mean nuthin.  IF ROMNEY IS ELECTED OBAMACARE IS TOAST.  IF OBAMA IS RE-ELECTED, THEN OBAMACARE IS THE LEAST OF OUR WORRIES."

"How do you figure that, BM?"

"If Obama is re-elected he has our so called Republican form of government rigged.  His reformation to socialism (and worse) can't be stopped," he responded like a cowboy whose favorite horse had just gone to the golden corral.

I responded hopefull, "But we could still hold the house and take over the senate.  I'm not going to even mention the supreme court as a backstop.  The courts are done when it comes to protecting the constitutional rights of citizens and religious organizations.  They are powerless to make Obama enforce marriage, immigration, drilling, welfare, gun laws, or anthing else he doesn't want to enforce.  I've got that figured out.  But what about the legislature?  Can't they at least make deadlocks work?"

"Obama, Reid, and Pelosi have passed legislation in his first term that has transferred virtually unlimited power to the executive branch.  For example they passed a 2,700 page Obamacare bill with  2,500 references to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. There are more than 700 instances when he or she is instructed that they 'shall' do something and more than 200 times when they take at their sole discretion some form of regulatory action. On 139 occasions, the law mentions that the 'Secretary determines'. In essence one person, appointed by and reporting to the president, will be in charge of the health care of 310 million Americans once ObamaCare is fully operational in 2014."

"And again, that is he least of our worries.  The same is true in the 2,319 pages of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act which gives nearly unlimited power to various agencies to control the nation's financial, banking and investment sectors. The bill also creates new agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, not subject to any oversight by Congress. This overall process was repeated numerous times with other legislation all with the intent of granting unlimited power to the executive branch controlled by Barack Obama and those who are pulling the puppet's strings."
    
"The Environmental Protection Agency on a near daily basis issues new regulations clearly out to modify and change environmental laws previously passed and to impose a radical green agenda never approved by Congress. The same is true of the Energy and Interior Departments among many others.  And think of the power Obama has given his socialist 'czars' who have huge resources and no legislative oversight."
    
"None of these extra-constitutional actions have been challenged by Congress. The socialists know it is nearly impossible to reverse these actions unless stopped in its early stages.  They know after the election the Republicans still won't have a majority that can override presidential vetoes.  All the Dems need is 145 house seats and 34 senate seats."

"Congress does have  control of the purse-strings as all spending must be approved by them. However, once re-elected, Barack Obama, can play the government shut down chicken game and threaten the Republicans into surrendering."

"And, Jim, I am afraid you are right about the courts  Obama has already ignored various court orders, e.g. the Gulf of Mexico oil drilling moratorium, as well as stonewalling subpoenas and requests issued by Congress. The Eric Holder Justice Department has become the epitome of corruption as part of the most dishonest and deceitful administration in American history. Think what an Obama who doesn't care about re-election will do.  And of course, Obama will have an opportunity to load the supreme court even more to his favor with appointments in the second term."

"Our founders never thought the American people would elect a communist to the office of the president.  Neither did they think the congress would ever surrender their constitutional duties to a crooked, lying narcissist in the White House.  And when the liar-in-chief doesn't obey court rulings, it makes the judicial branch irrelevant."

"Our commander-in-chief, (joke) is supporting our withdrawal from the radical muslim middle east which is sworn to our destruction while supporting the muslim brotherhood/al-queda takeover the whole region.  He is letting Iran become a nuclear supplier of weapons to these crazies.  He hates Israel.  The press praises his surrendering of American leadership in the world as Obama forfeits our hard earned gains in Iraq and Afghanistan. And the polls voters prefer Obama over Romney in managing foreign affairs eventhough our poor military people and veterens clearly support Romney.  Just like everything else, the moochers perfer Obama, and producers, Romney."

"In summary, if elected, Obama can move to phase two in destroying this country for good.  Our military will be toast.  Our individual rights gone.  Our religious freedom destroyed.  Our economy will be at a third world country level.  AND HE WILL DO IT ALL, ON PURPOSE."

"BM, it looks like to me the bus is approaching the last stop.  The American people have one last chance to get off.  I think we will take it.  Mitt Romney will get 54% of the popular vote and will squeak into the White House with a slim majority of the electoral vote.  While I am happy about that it is scary that if will be that close.  Meanwhile, at every level of society we have to find a way to recapture the American dream and do some major rebuilding of our culture."

Think about it,

Lincoln Didn't Finish the Job: 93% of Blacks Are Enslaved in the Year 2012

Warning: This posting is not politically correct!!! But enough is enough.  It is time to call names and tell the truth.

Slavery is alive but not well in America today.  It is North to South and East to West, nationwide.

Today's PLANTATION OWNERS are DEMOCRATS.  The MASTERS are people like Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Reid.  The HOUSE NIGGERS are execs and their paid agents in organizations like the  NAACP, CORE, and the URBAN LEAGUE.  The HOUSE NIGGERS are paid to keep the slaves in their place. 

Today's SLAVE MASTERS have bought their slaves with an idiot pitch that says you have RIGHTS to all basic human needs:  food stamps, government provided housing, welfare checks (particularly if you are unwed), health care, transportation, free education, and more.  The slaves are told, "This is just like you had it back in the day with one big difference, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORK like you did on the plantations.  The Federal Government is a more caring provider than those awful Southern Redneck Plantation Owners.  In fact, the less you work, the more RIGHTS you can collect on.  Ain't that sweet." 

They go on, "And what do you have to do get these RIGHTS?   Just VOTE Democratic.  We Democrats will give you money we collect from WORKING PEOPLE (A.K.A. producers) just for pulling the lever with the big "D" on it.  We will even have our lackeys pick you up and drive you to the voting polls.  If you are not registered, that is OK.  We can fix it.  We will even have Black Panthers stand outside the polling booths with clubs to remind you that you need to pull the "D" lever instead of the "R" lever just in case you might forget.  Full service, huh?:"

So why is it time to name names and tell the truth?  Because it is clear that the people who are suffering the most are BLACKS.  They will continue to suffer and sink lower in degradation until they are honestly FREED.  The fact is that after decades of Democratic Slavery, 72% of black births are to unmarried women; blacks, with 12.6% of the nation's population, account for 50% of murder victims; and a young black male is likelier to be killed on the streets of Chicago (home of Barack Hussein Obama and thugs ;ole Rahm Israel Emanuel, Valerie Jarret, and the Daley Boys) than in the hills of Afghanistan.  Yep, Black Soldiers are safer in war than in the slums of Chicago.  In June, as you know,  the overall unemployment rate remained stuck at 8.2% for the nation— but the rate for blacks actually went up, from 13.6% to 14.4%.  And you know these numbers are "cooked" by Obama's thugs in the Labor Department.  It is worse than they admit.  Black unemployment is closer to 25%.  Black youths are unemployed in the 50% range.  And every freebie given to the MOOCHERS (free because it comes from the PRODUCERS) over time sink Blacks lower into the pits of  poverty.  School drop out rates go up and drug usage and crimes sky rocket.

Mitt Romney spoke to the NAACP this week.  The GOP candidate showed the content of his character at the convention by not pandering to blacks beset by illegitimacy, poverty, crime and joblessness — and an indifferent president named Obama stayed away.  For refusing to pander to black voters in his speech, Mitt Romney was accused by MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell of pandering to his white base.
The speech, O'Donnell insisted, was part of a GOP "Southern strategy" used to appeal to "racial and racist voting." Over at the Daily Beast, Michael Tomasky came unhinged, contending that Romney's attempt to describe the plight of black Americans under President Obama's hope and change, and offering real solutions to fixing the government that oppresses them, made him "a spineless, disingenuous, supercilious, race-mongering pyromaniac."

Romney knew he'd be booed when he said he'd get rid of ObamaCare, the job- and growth-killing mess that is the newest "freebie" of the cradle-to-grave nanny state on which many Blacks have become increasingly dependent. He noted that black students account for 17% of students nationwide, with 42% of those trapped in failing schools. He spoke of "neighborhoods filled with violence and fear (and) empty of opportunity."  And on a matter that separates most black church leaders from Obama, he pledged to defend traditional marriage as the president embraces the gay version.  Romney's speech didn't pander to anybody.

"The president will say he will do things to improve your plight, but he will not, he cannot, and his record of the last four years proves it," Romney told the dubious crowd, adding: "If you want a president who will make things better in the African American community, you're looking at him."

And then one of the slave masters spoke the day after.  VP Biden came with one central message:  If Romney is elected many Blacks would have their voting rights taken away.  Curious that Biden, a Slave Master, speaking to a room full of House Niggers spoke mostly of voting rights.  Why?  Because votes are what the Slave Masters demand to keep the freebies coming from the tax payers to the moochers.

If anyone that reads this posting has access to any of Romney's people I urge you to get this suggestion to Romney.  It is time to take the gloves off, forget political correctness, and speak the truth.  Governor Romney needs to warn HISPANICS of the path many of them are following.  If they sell their votes to the Democrats in return for Immigration Amnesty and for the lawbreaking Democrat's consent to not enforce Immigration Laws they will start down the path of HISPANIC SLAVERY.  The next step is clear.  Hispanics will ask why should we do these dirty jobs when we can get all the freebies that Blacks get WITHOUT WORKING?  Fair is fair.  Their acceptance of trading votes for freebies then leads to the destruction of families, lawless children, drugs and drug dealers, school drop outs, a loss of religious freedom in supporting gay marriage and abortions, and more.  In just a few short years they can help destroy the dreams of Americans as they join the plight of Blacks.  The Democrats will welcome them with open arms.  After all, it is only fair. 

Don't just think about this.  We have to find a way to get it to Romney.

It is worth being called a RACIST if it results in saving the greatest country on earth.

I was called one just two weeks ago and it didn't hurt at all.

Obama-Lies #8 Will Not Raise Taxes Until the Economy Has Recovered

Obama said in 2009 that to raise taxes on anyone would “suck the wind” out of the economy. He said that is why he has not called for raising taxes and would not until the recession is over.


Now Obama says we need to raise taxes on everyone who makes over $250k, and that it will affect only 3% of small businesses.

Well, even at 3% that is 900,000 small businesses. If the average increase in taxes costs 2-4 jobs per company, the effect would be to suck almost 2-4 million jobs out of the economy. The non-small business tax payers would have their ability to invest and purchase reduced, both of which are needed for a recovery.

Any idiot knows raising taxes on PRODUCERS hurts the economy. Obama knows that as well and that is what is so scary about his agenda. He is hell bent on bringing down this nation economically, culturally, and militarily.

Check out this video from the Liar in Chief in 2009.

Also, don’t forget the number of tax increases in Obamacare. It is about 21 total with 12 of those making under $250k.

Obama-Lies #7: Obama is not a Socialist #2

Email forwarded on July 3, 2012

As most American’s shoot their fireworks and eat their burgers maybe we should pause and really think of our founders and the price they paid to build a foundation for the greatest nation this world has ever seen. My guess is they are kicking up dirt as they turn in their graves with the shredding of the US Constitution that transpired this week. We owe our founders and our children MORE than my generation has given them to date in protecting the “Republic for which they stood”.

Obama’s most serious lie is that he is not a Socialist. The argument below is that he is beyond a Socialist and will more than likely turn out to be a Communist. The absolute truth is this nation can not afford to give him a second term to find out just what he is! From “nationalizing health care and GM to picking and choosing which laws he will enforce”, Obama’s actions prove he despises our republic. And it will get worse.

After receiving this and reading it, I feel it will probably be the most important email and blog posting that I have ever generated. The content regarding Obama’s actions in office do not need fact checking. WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE TRUE.

I urge each of you to circulate this as widely as possible.

Think about it,

Jim

When I was about 9 years old I remember asking my dad about Castro.
I asked, "Is Castro a good guy or bad?"


Dad said...he couldn't tell!! This was about 1955. We were living in Louisiana ...at the time. Dad was in the Army and stationed there.


Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot. The Cubans were asking the same question! Ike was president.


This past July 4th, we had the pleasure of sharing a summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba. Our dinner conversation was starkly different than most.


This refugee came to the United States as a young boy in the early 1960's. His family was more fortunate than most, as they were able to bring a suitcase and $100 when they fled Castro's newly formed revolutionary paradise.


Our dinner consisted of all-American fare: hamburgers, potato salad, fresh ears of sweet corn and watermelon. This is a menu shared with family and friends nationwide...while celebrating the birth of our beloved America ...on the Fourth of July.


We began with a simple discussion about our country, and the direction it has taken since Barack Obama came to power. We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering emanating from the rulers in Washington.


But then he said it. The sentence flowed naturally from our refugee guest. I assume it was unplanned. But it carried the weight of a freight train.


"You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a Communist".


We sat stunned. He continued, "Yes, we all thought he was a patriot, a nationalist. Before the revolution he didn't sound like a radical."


The comparison at this point was easy, and I interjected, "You mean just like Barack Obama?"


He responded; "Yes, just like Barack Obama." He continued, "We were all shocked as the government just continued to grab more power. First they said the revolution is over, so please turn in your guns. We all complied."

I also remember my uncle saying; �Castro will only nationalize some of the big industries. He will never come and take our family hardware store!!� But that is exactly what happened. Castro started with the sugar mills and the large industries, but they eventually came and knocked on the door of our family hardware store. My family had run this store for generations. They said we now own the hardware store, you work for us. And that four-bedroom home you own...it is now our property too. You have to move yourself and the five children into those two rooms of the house, because others are moving in here with you."


The lesson learned from this discussion, is a lesson most Americans refuse to hear. Political leaders can lie about their agenda and once in office, they can take totally unexpected turns.


If you had asked us three years ago if we thought General Motors or Chrysler would be nationalized, we would have never believed it. We could never contemplate a country where the rule of law, the most fundamental building block of a justice society...would be evaporating, just like it did in Castro's Cuba in the early 1960's.


But the news of injustice keeps increasing;


Black Panthers are not charged with wrong doing by the U.S. Department of Justice...because their crimes are against whites;


The bond holders of GM are stripped of their assets...without being given due process by the government;


Car Dealerships are closed with out due process;


Governmental leaders are bribed in full daylight...only to have all investigation of the crimes stifled...by the Attorney General;


The U.S. borders are over run with crime and illegal activity, and the leaders in D.C. act as if it is important to protect the lawbreakers...while the innocent are killed and over run;


When local communities attempt to enforce the law, they are ridiculed...and threatened as racists and bigots. They are sued by the very administration entrusted with enforcing the law.


Without the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution is a sham!! Without the rule of law, our beloved America is swiftly becoming a country where only the well connected and politically powerful will be safe. As an author recently and so eloquently explained in her most recent book..."a culture of corruption has replaced honest government" (Michelle Malkin).


The only way this problem will be fixed, is by massive citizen action. All honest citizens that want to be treated equally, must come together...and demand that the favoritism, the bribes, the uneven enforcement of law...end now!! And yes, it can happen if we all pull together.


PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!

And...may God save the United States of America! *


*...the very least you can do is forward this email. 6 million plus Jews didn't believe it could happen in Germany either!!! If you're a Christian in these United States of America, you're probably next on the list. History bares that out.


The real problem here is, the boy from Cuba did manage to make it to the U.S. Today he and we will not have any place to escape to...except death!


And, for the most part...even though I'm forwarding this to you, probably less then 10 will even read it completely, let alone forward on to others.


AS A COUNTRY, HAVE WE BECOME THIS COMPLACENT? WILL YOU JUST TURN YOUR BACK AND LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES? I HOPE NOT...


YOU KNOW I DIDN'T, BECAUSE YOUR READING THIS, AND NOW I HOPE AND PRAY YOU DO FORWARD IT.



Obama-Lies #6 "Congress must act on comprehensive immigration reform"

After receiving the news of the Supreme Court’s Ruling on our Federal’s Government’s suit against Arizona’s Immigration Legislation Obama told the following ball faced lie, "What this decision makes unmistakably clear is that Congress must act on comprehensive immigration reform”. The last thing Obama and the Democrats want is settled law regarding immigration (and particularly before the November election. The following analysis shows his deceit?


BY LARGE MAJORITIES HISPANICS SUPPORT THESE PRIMARILY PRO-REPUBLICAN ISSUES:

Hispanics are Christian Catholics

Hispanics are against abortion

Hispanics are family oriented

Hispanics are for a one man/one woman definition of marriage

Hispanics are hard working

Hispanics start up small businesses

Hispanics want low taxes and a growing US economy

Hispanics want a reduction in government regulations and red tape

HOWEVER, BY A LARGE MAJORITY HISPANICS APPROVE OF ONE DEMOCRATIC ISSUE:

Hispanics are not for enforcing current immigration laws and are for liberalizing immigration laws.


SUMMED UP, HISPANICS VOTE DEMOCRAT BY A LARGE MAJORITY EVEN THOUGH THEY SUPPORT THEM ON ONLY ONE SINGLE ISSUE-IMMIGRATION!

THEREFORE, IF THE LEGISLATURE SETTLED THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE WITH COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM AND BORDER SECURITY, HISPANICS WOULD MIGRATE RAPIDLY TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

THEREFORE, OBAMA DOES NOT WANT SETTLED LAW REGARDING IMMIGRATION NOR DOES HE WANT TO SECURE THE BORDERS. OBAMA WANTS TO KEEP THE ISSUE IN THE FOREFRONT OF POLITICS.

IT IS CLEAR OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO IMMEDIATELY DO FOUR THINGS REGARDING IMMIGRATION:

1. SECURE OUF BORDERS

2. ENFORCE CURRENT LAWS

3. WORK IN PARTNERSHIPS WITH STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ENFORCE CURRENT LAW INSTEAD OF SUING THEM FOR PROTECTING THEIR BORDERS.

4. REFORM CURRENT IMMIGRATION LAWS INCLUDING ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN WITH ILLEGALS CURRENTLY IN THIS COUNTRY

IT IS ALSO CLEAR DEMOCRATS WILL NEVER AGREE WITH THESE ACTIONS HOPING TO KEEP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION AS AN OPEN AND HIGHLY DIVISIBLE ISSUE, AND CERTAINLY NOT BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION.

INTERESTINGLY, OBAMA AND DEMOCRATS HAVE THE SAME SITUATION WITH ABORTION (WOMEN), AFFIRMATIVE ACTION (BLACKS), GAY MARRIAGE (GAYS), AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING (UNIONS). THE OBAMA AND DEMOCRATIC PLAN IS TO KEEP CONTROVERSY SWIRLING CONSTANTLY WITH THESE ISSUES WHILE TAKING EVERY STEP POSSIBLE TO AVOID SOLUTIONS TO SAME. WITHOUT THESE TYPES OF DIVIDING ISSUES THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER EXCEPT GOVERNMENT WELFARE.

Think about it,

Jim
