How was the State of the Union?

Well, I have to admit, I liked what I heard of the State of the Union speech. I turned on the TV just as the President said "God Bless America. Good Night". Unfortunately, I heard other parts on the news. Sounds like more government hand outs, more government spending, more government. Do people really think the government can keep spending money and give bailouts and hand outs and not raise taxes? Where is this money coming from? The theme seemed to be to continue to grow government and increase societies dependence on the government. What is this part where students don't have to pay back student loans????? Paid for college is not a right under the Constitution. Why are we now promising college loans wont have to be paid back after 20 years? Everyone has the right to go to college, just like everyone has the right to property ownership, but you have PAY for it. It is a great way to increase the size of government by not requiring students to pay back loans after 10 years if they go to work for the government.

Maybe all these new jobs will build more printing presses so we can print more money......

Be on the alert at the airport

A public school teacher was arrested today at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney General Eric Holder said he believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He did not identify the man, who has been charged by the FBI with carrying weapons of math instruction. 'Al-Gebra is a problem for us', the Attorney General said. 'They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values.' They use secret code names like 'X' and 'Y' and refer to themselves as 'unknowns', but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, 'There are 3 sides to every triangle'. When asked to comment on the arrest, President Obama said, 'If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, he would have given us more fingers and toes..' White House aides told reporters they could not recall a more intelligent or profound statement by the President. It is believed that the Nobel Prize for Physics will follow---

Better find a union job

At least for the next 5 years. In an outrageous bargaining session the congress has agreed to shield union workers from paying taxes on high level health insurance plans, but if you are not a union worker you will have to pay the tax. This form of class warfare is really cutting it close. Many middle class Americans with non union jobs have high end health care plans. They will be footing the bill for the union workers while unions get favor from the current administration.

So there you are sitting in your middle class home considering yourself lucky enough to have a job with great benefits that you have to work 60 hours a week to keep, while your neighbor works for Chevy and his union contract says he cant work more then 40 hours a week. Then you realize that you are paying a 40% tax on your health insurance while you neighbor, whose company has taken BILLIONS in tax payer bailouts and is still failing, does not have to pay the tax. Your tax on your health care can be more than $9600 a year.

In the current form, the unions will be shielded from paying the tax until 2018. What do you think will happen then? Do you think your neighbor's union will quietly allow that tax to kick in? No. They will find another way for the rest of us to pay for it..... That is assuming anyone still has a job in 2018.
