Obama Admin leaves Dealers unpaid as clunkers pile up. (D) Rep demands action

Dealers across the state are owed more than $3.6 million, according to a dealers' group which says that so far Uncle Sam has only written three checks totaling about $14,000.

Some New Mexico auto dealers have backed out of the cash-for-clunkers program and more may do so as the federal government takes its time providing cash reimbursements... read.

In my view... This entire "rising Czar-Government" of special-interests, who (incidentally) are their own over-sight; is living proof of the difficulty Nations face in thrones of tyranny; as millions try to get out from under it... And many fail....Unfortunately, it sometimes gets worse, before liberty prevails; and sheds its shining light, once again.... As we know it will.

Obama's FDR-style Congressional folly "public option"

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)

As Obama left & Media paint this debate as a party-line issue... Over 54% say , "No healthcare reform better than passing Congressional plan." Tax-payer holds sign in an Obama State, which says it all.

Here they go again (from Ace)
Democrats: "Wait. We Have Majorities In Both Houses Of Congress We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Republicans To Pass Health Care"

Reality: This would have created a rise in private surplus, & a trim-back on Soc. Sec rat-hole earmarks! Dems still want to RAISE, not trim, our deficit.





Vote them out in 2010!
Summary: Basically it comes down to this: "Will your ever-growing Government live better than the private citizens who will pay?" They just want your premium money, and considering Canada's present crisis; successful "care" isn't even a factor of the bill...

Obama's Dishonest Demagoguery on So-Called Tax Havens

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay France

To understand how Politicians can trick the masses: View the Myths of Tax Havens
VIEW VIDEO: HERE.




From Dan Mitchell and the folks at Cato:
The Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation has compiled several videos to educate and expose how politicians create false images, and produce stigmas in order to control competition... In their favor.

View (below) another in a series of Video "teaching moments" of the truth about Tax Havens... And worth the view...



From Dan Mitchell and the folks at Cato.
The Center for Freedom and Prosperity Foundation

Dan Mitchell: Why tax havens are good for the global economy. More here and here." and a link to Dan Mitchell's book on:
The benefits of tax competition.

My View: As Obama continues his fast-track against the heart of competitive American business; his administration is creating mass uncertainty by dangling such threatening legislations as "capping the economy and trading our jobs"... All of which continue to produce a profoundly negative widening of mass unemployment, across our Nation...

And anyone else find it rich that the Obama Administration conceals 'public record' follow-ups of those tax evaders of his administration; yet holds audits to find evaders through "stereo-typed" tax havens; commonly used for Int'l business neutrality... And then, exploits them through the Media?

Hope and Change is looking more like a wound, and we must prevent a scar... If Constitutional wizard, Obama, thinks that he is going after "a more perfect UNION"... Americans will be bracing to impact some serious Liberty & Prosperity... Make no mistake about it...

Privacy Act request to report health plan objections
Arms & the Law

Excerpt (below) From Evan Cyone Maloney
Did the White House violate the Privacy Act.
The Obama White House may be breaking the Privacy Act of 1974 by asking citizens to report “fishy” political speech.

It turns out, even asking for citizens to report on each other may be illegal. According to the Department of Justice, “the purpose of the Privacy Act is to balance the government’s need to maintain information about individuals with the rights of individuals to be protected against unwarranted invasions of their privacy stemming from federal agencies’ collection, maintenance, use, and disclosure of personal information about them.” Read more.

So, why the merging militia-style force, suddenly arriving at the Tea Party Protests, aided the Obama Administration's MEDIA?

View this Amendment:
5 U.S.C. § 552a, United States agencies, including the Executive Office of the President shall, “maintain no record describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the record is maintained or unless pertinent to and within the scope of an authorized law enforcement activity.”

H.R. 3200 'fine-print' sells their Grandmother 'down the river'

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France)

Misleading plan, unless you examine the first dozen or so pages...
SUMMARY: H.R. 3200 (PDF)
AUDIO: Listen (Down the river for seniors.)

Not all Americans want Healthcare, and many have built initial surplus in HSA account; and then subscribe to Long Term Care policy, to protect assets.
Already taxed income can accumulate in excess of hundreds of thousands.

As is the choice of my U.S. Grandparents...
More explanation: Health Savings accounts put money away in your own tax sheltered account... They accompany this with private Long Term Care...

HSAs -- which reduce your financial protection from health costs -- are a perfectly good option if you don't really need financial protection from health costs.

[ENLARGE] HERE


I can't imagine how the US Gov. can legally strip-out hundreds of thousands of an Insured's private surplus funds; and disturb years of policy payments with which guarantee "specific coverage" in Long Term care; if you make a simple change to your policy...

But the powers they have become, also (nearing page 15) force Ins. Companies like Blue Cross, to convert plan-holders to HMO Medical, and then charge you additional taxes if you've not converted to Gov. plan.

Do you support the plan for health care reform?
