What have to offer on the bit below?? A bill proposed by magical orator Barack Obama that would substantially increase the U.S. commitment to the United Nations’ Millennium Development initiative. This initiative, if you recall, was for the world’s richest nations to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015, presumably through handouts, which is what the UN does best—aside from embezzlement, anyway. These unaccountable cash grants, which have flowed to the poorest nations in the Southern Hemisphere for 50 years, have done nothing to transform the impoverished. Economists have known for a long time that only the creation of free-market economies and careful investments have any real lasting benefit to the world’s poor. Obama rejects these facts and wants to boldly move forward with his bill, which pledges 0.7 percent of U.S. GDP to the UN program. That would amount to $845 billion that American taxpayers would fork over between 2009 and 2015. The U.S. already gives the program $15 billion a year, and that’s on top of the aid we directly provide to nations around the world. America is far and away the world’s largest provider of non-refundable foreign aid. Indeed, we give too much already and we don’t need a corrupt world body that refuses to account for its spending publicly to provide that aid on our behalf. http://patriotpost.us/ You are amazing: he said she said , in your praise !! not a substantiated fact in the whole diatribe!

That is the effect of this tightening credit climate. And the tight credit situation is not just hurting the middle class, the pain is spreading to businesses as well. It seems as if Bush and crew are going to wash the whole country down the drain in their final months. It would be nice if people in this country didn't have to live on credit but the economic structure of wages and expenses would have to change dramatically to change habits of the consumer. The point is, the money giys have always held the keys and they have the power now to change this downward slde; instead they are choosing to suck as much cash as they can from the little guy before they leave a devastated and broken populace.

I would have thought the News Dissector would have picked up on the WHOPPER Obama told about Iraq Tuesday night but I guess Danny has more fun expressing his hatred towards women via attacks on Hillary than addressing the debate.

Your Social Security

Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat of Republican. Facts are Facts!!!

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

4.) That the money the participants put into the independent “Trust Fund” rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would
only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and,

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
the money we paid to the Federal government to “put away” — you may be interested in the following:

————————————————————-

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent “Trust Fund” and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.

——————————————————————–

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully
sure of what isn’t so.

But it’s worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!

You just have not the awareness to have it, like the others, removed yet. Oh my GOD! He called me a yokel! I think I will crawl in to hole and hide!! No that would be your thing. You do have a lot to say considering your total lack of ability to buy your own computer. It is always amazing to me to see a person that can't support themselves requesting charity and consideration, but all the while condemning the environment that supports them. Like I said you sound like welfare garbage to me, they like you are always angry over something -- any thing. AH One more thing I am not anonymous to you.
