There goes the neighborhood

What have been the biggest financial disasters in recent history? One would be hard to find two bigger problems than the Mortgage Crisis and the apparent failure of Detroit's "Big Three."

If ya wanna expose the cause of just about ANYTHING in American politics, what better way to do so than to just FOLLOW THE MONEY?

1)The Mortgage Crisis
Only one person, Sen. Chris Dodd, received more money from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae than Barack Obama. Why would they be giving money to Obama? The ONLY reason ANYONE gives money to a candidate is because that candidate has pledged support for policies that help THAT ENTITY, period. It isn't benevolance or good will. And now we know, at least YOU SHOULD know, that these entities were pressured by ACORN(who Barack Obama has had an extensive relationship with up to the present) to give loans to people who simply could not afford them. And so Fannie, Freddie, AIG, Leyman Brothers, they all too a fall. And who picked up the check? You. It is puzzling how Obama's close affiliation with ACORN , and his direct FINANCIAL LINK to Fannie and Freddie were not better exposed, but who was listening anyway? The media wasn't interested, and you apparently weren't either. So get out your checkbook.

2)The "Big Three"
Chrysler, GM, and Ford are the only three automakers in this country who can't seem to be profitable. They also, coincidentally, are the only three that have been strongarmed by the UAW. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Volkswagen . . . all make cars in the U.S. and none of them are in financial trouble. And guess what? None of them have the UAW in their pocket. The "Big Three" make good cars, and they sell them competitively . . . but make FAR LESS PER VEHICLE than the others, and are therefore less prepared to endure a storm such as we find ourselves in because of the unbelieveable burden the UAW has become. The Big Three LOSES $47,000 per employee. The NON-UAW companies average a profit of $33,000 per employee. that's a difference of $80,000 per employee. How are these companies to compete with the forces of greed and corruption eating them up like a cancer?

So what candidate does the UAW support? How'd you guess! Damn you're good. It's President Elect Barack Obama! Obama has already promised to implement "The Employee Free Choice Act" which is designed to do one thing and one thing only: make unionization easier. So before ya know it, Honda, Toyota, BMW, Nissan, Volkswagen, they'll all be shaken down by Obama and the UAW, and it won't be long before cars can't be manufactured profitably in this country and all the cars in the world will be made in Mexico and China. i guess we'll blame THAT on George Bush also.

So what is the "Employee Free Choice Act?" Choice sounds good, doesn't it? Well, ask yourself this. Why would ANYONE support taking away an employee's RIGHT to a SECRET BALLOT about whether or not he wishes to be represented by a union? The answer is easy. If the secrecy of your vote is taken away it makes it far easier to intimidate people into voting the union in.

Hello to inflation, higher unemployment, and yes . . . chaos.

Unions are the #1 reason why we continue to lose manufacturing jobs to other countries such as China and Mexico. In China the minimum wage is between $43 and $60/month. And we wonder why a company would close its doors in the U.S. and relocate to China. The pensions and benefit packages extorted from the Big Three by the UAW are unconscionable and unsustainable. And this "bailout" will be eaten up by the end of January and we are just goingt o THROW more money at them . . . . WHY? Because the UAW knows the alternative is Bankruptcy COurt where the companies will be FREED from the UAW contracts that are killing them. The UAW owns the Democratic Party, and the Dems are in control. And when it fails, the Dems are to blame. Bankruptcy Court or legislation that pairs down the UAW contracts will stop the inevitable. Either that or the UAW moving in on the foreign automakers who manufacture in this country. But then that just means the will ALL close down.

We are driving companies away in droves. And Obama thinks that increasing the size and power of unions is the answer to the problem? President Bush was blamed for jobs lost, but who can list ONE THING, ONE POLICY that Bush has implemented that encouraged this?

And while I am on the subject . . . Obama promised to end the war in Iraq. And YOU fell for it. He campaigned on the mistakes made in Iraq and he is going to do nothing but INCREASE our presence in Afghanistan, move into Pakistan, and stay in Iraq where we SHOULD BE. But he apparently found LOTS OF MORONS to believe he was for "change," and well . . .

HERE WE ARE. Nobama in 2012.
