Golf vs. Tricare (Obama Chooses Golf)

It is absolutely criminal that the US government is spending 15 billion more than last year, but because they didn't get 85 billion more dollars in addition to the 15, the Obama administration is trying to punish the American people by cutting into military healthcare and White House tours.

 If the situation were so dire that we needed to cut such necessities as healthcare for the military, I suggest we first cut funding from unnecessary expenditures such as Planned Parenthood, Obama's personal golfing outings and vacations, and the 1.5 million dollar federal study on obese lesbians.

This kind of reckless and disproportionate spending will be the downfall of the United States as we know it.

My Laundry List for President Romney

I have a whole laundry list of things I want President Romney (and Congress) to do when he's elected:

1. Get rid of Obamacare (through constitutional means)
2. Allow and promote U.S. drilling for shale oil (this will decrease our dependence on foreign oil, is more environmentally friendly--not that I care--and will lower gas and food prices)
3. Close the borders and revamp the immigration system.
4. Enforce the Defense of Marriage Act (which is currently being unlawfully ignored by this admin)
5. Prosecute to the full extent of the law everyone involved in Operation Fast and Furious
6. Institute a flat tax for everyone (thus promoting a hard work ethic)
7. Abolish Planned Parenthood (and use the money that would have gone to them to pay for the national debt)
8. Root out all influence in U.S. government coming from the Muslim Brotherhood (such influence being allowed is treachery considering they are a terrorist organization working to destroy us)
9. Remove the Department of Energy (since they don't do anything but waste time/money)
10. Remove the Department of Education (since our education system is a failure) and revert all control of education to the states
11. Take all the money removed from the Departments of Education and Energy and use it the pay off the national debt.
12. Enforce the 2nd Amendment and promote gun rights.

The Real Unemployment Rate

So for those of you that don't do research, the unemployment rate that the news gives us is called U3, which includes those people who are on unemployment.  This does not include those who have run out of unemployment or those who are working part time due to economic reasons.  The U6 version of the unemployment does cover this demographic.  Back when the U3 unemployment was at 9.0, U6 was at 16.2 http://ow.ly/8Rf8r. When U3 was at 8.6, U6 was at 15.6 http://ow.ly/8RfGx.  Now that the media is telling us that the U3 unemployment rate is 8.3 (conveniently during election time) we can assume that the real unemployment rate is in fact U6 15.3.

While the media will tell you that the drop in unemployment is due to an increase in jobs, this is only a half truth.  Many of the jobs that were once a part of the United States have now been outsourced to other countries (meaning they're not here anymore).  This decreases the size of the United States' economy and makes available jobs more scarce http://ow.ly/8RgRi.

Finally, let us not forget that the U3 unemployment rate was 7.8% when Obama took office (that's U6 14.1%).  While certain politicians and media (including Fox News) would like you to believe that the economy has gotten better, the facts prove that it is actually getting worse http://ow.ly/8RhCQ.
