Guest Guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I actually completely forgot about that. I was more thinking here rather than elsewhere. I would say the pretty much is far worse than what Reagan did in liberal California anyway that would have had it anyway. Obama made US funds available for international abortions. That takes the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Well technically since Obama has yet to sign any bill into effect that changes the current rules of abortion... wouldn't that make him neutral, and Reagan worse?

Guest Guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Unions aren't to blame for Wisconsin's budget By Ezra Klein Let's be clear: Whatever fiscal problems Wisconsin is -- or is not -- facing at the moment, they're not caused by labor unions. That's also true for New Jersey, for Ohio and for the other states. There was no sharp rise in collective bargaining in 2006 and 2007, no major reforms of the country's labor laws, no dramatic change in how unions organize. And yet, state budgets collapsed. Revenues plummeted. Taxes had to go up, and spending had to go down, all across the country. Blame the banks. Blame global capital flows. Blame lax regulation of Wall Street. Blame home buyers, or home sellers. But don't blame the unions. Not for this recession. Of course, the fact that public-employee pensions didn't cause a meltdown at Lehman Brothers doesn't mean they're not stressing state budgets, and that the pensions they've been promised don't exceed what state budgets seem able to bear. But the buildup of global capital that overheated the American housing sector and got packaged into seemingly riskless financial products that then brought down Wall Street, paralyzing the economy, throwing millions out of work, and destroying the revenues from state income and sales taxes even as state residents needed more social services? The answer to that in not to end collective bargaining for public employees. A plus B plus C does not equal what Gov. Scott Walker is attempting in Wisconsin. In fact, it particularly doesn't work for what Walker is attempting in Wisconsin. The Badger State was actually in pretty good shape. It was supposed to end this budget cycle with about $120 million in the bank. Instead, it's facing a deficit. Why? I'll let the state's official fiscal scorekeeper explain (pdf): More than half of the lower estimate ($117.2 million) is due to the impact of Special Session Senate Bill 2 (health savings accounts), Assembly Bill 3 (tax deductions/credits for relocated businesses), and Assembly Bill 7 (tax exclusion for new employees). In English: The governor signed two business tax breaks and a conservative health-care policy experiment that lowers overall tax revenues. The new legislation was not offset, and it turned a surplus into a deficit. As Brian Beutler writes, "public workers are being asked to pick up the tab for this agenda." But even that's not the full story here. Public employees aren't being asked to make a one-time payment into the state's coffers. Rather, Walker is proposing to sharply curtail their right to bargain collectively. A cyclical downturn that isn't their fault, plus an unexpected reversal in Wisconsin's budget picture that wasn't their doing, is being used to permanently end their ability to sit across the table from their employer and negotiate what their health insurance should look like. That's how you keep a crisis from going to waste: You take a complicated problem that requires the apparent need for bold action and use it to achieve a longtime ideological objective. In this case, permanently weakening public-employee unions, a group much-loathed by Republicans in general and by the Republican legislators who have to battle them in elections in particular. If you read Walker's State of the State address, you can watch him hide the ball on what he's doing. "Our upcoming budget is built on the premise that we must right size our government," he said. "That means reforming public employee benefits -- as well as reforming entitlement programs and reforming the state’s relationship with local governments." Not a word on his actual proposal, which is to end collective bargaining for benefits. If all Walker was doing was reforming public employee benefits, I'd have little problem with it. There's too much deferred compensation in public employee packages, and though the blame for that structure lies partially with the government officials and state residents who wanted to pay later for services now, it's true that situations change and unsustainable commitments require reforms. But that's not what Walker is doing. He's attacking the right to bargain collectively -- which is to say, he's attacking the very foundation of labor unions, and of worker power -- and using an economic crisis unions didn't cause, and a budget reversal that Walker himself helped create, to justify it. And it's not as if public employees aren't hurting. In the Wisconsin budget report I quoted earlier, the state's fiscal bureau goes on to survey the state of the economy. "Going forward, Global Insight expects private sector payrolls to grow by 2.1 million in 2011, 2.6 million in 2012, and 2.5 million in 2013. Projected cutbacks in the number of public sector employees, however, are expected to partially offset those private sector gains. In 2010, the number of state and local government employees fell by an estimated 208,000 positions. In 2011, those cutbacks are expected to total an additional 150,000 positions." In other words, private jobs are coming back, but state and local jobs are still being lost. Public-employee unions are on the mat. Walker is trying to make sure they don't get back up. You know the Libtards are sweating when they start pulling out the numbers. This article is by the ultra-left wing nut job Ezra Klein - the same guy who says we shouldn't pay attention to the Constitution because it's "confusing". Hey, Ezra, it's not confusing if you don't waste all your time twisting it around to make it do things it wasn't intended to. The article is worth as much as a wooden nickel with termites.

tom Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Well technically since Obama has yet to sign any bill into effect that changes the current rules of abortion... wouldn't that make him neutral, and Reagan worse? The bottom line is, Obama is inherently a Muslim and Muslims oppose abortion. He was a Muslim as a child, attended Muslim schools and prayed to the east. He ONLY remains neutral so as not to cause any conflicts with his party, witch is pro-abortion, and with his brethern in the Muslim Brotherhood. One question that bothers me, if the worst crime a Muslim can commit against Islam is converting from Islam to Christianity, how could one who has apparently commited this high crime, like Obama, be so cozy with Muslims?

Guest Guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Palin didn't run away. There were too many "distractions" from they left and corrupt Alaskan republicans for her to perform her job as Governor up to her standards. What really screwed the progressives/communists was that she quickly found a new calling and that calling was to destroy the socialists and communists that have infiltrated our government and have attacked her family. You might call it vengence for the way the left treated her and her family. And she got it too!!! Last I knew out of 37 candidates she campaigned for 26 won. Not a bad record and certainly explains why leftists hate her more than the devil. Can't wait for the damage she will do to these subversives in 2012. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/03/AR2009070301738.html OMG it is all about the almighty $ for this woman, plain and simple!!!

Guest Guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Did you actually see why they suddenly increased in budget? It's because the new governor stepped in and dumped a bunch of pork into the budget to pay back the people who helped get him elected. Without the new programs he created the state would still be about budget neutral. Only a liberal would refer to tax cuts as "pork". Face it, the 4 billion in budget increases absolutely blow away your theory about tax cuts somehow exploding the budget in Wisconsin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
