In this video commentary, Contemplate why are we giving away $60 billion of foreign aid every year when we have a $1.3 trillion deficit? Why are we giving the Palestinians $550 million in direct aid and more through the UN?

Oh say it ain’t so!!!!!!

The really sad part about this is that this seems to be the goal of the progressive liberals in charge in Washington. Their goals of some sort of socialist utopia where we all live and contribute to each other’s greatness and woes sounds like a pretty picture. But when you look at the dependence on the government that would be required in such a socialist dreamland, it doesn’t take long to realize that this of course cannot work and will destroy itself like every socialist government experiment ever tried.

So when you hear some liberal saying that Social Security is not a Ponzi Scheme you can come back with getting them to explain how Obamanomics is not a Ponzi Scheme. A hard task even for the most hardened faithful liberal.

Really?

After 2 1/2 year you and your Party didn’t pass or submit a budget.

After spending like you didn’t care who was paying for it, BECAUSE YOU DIDN”T.

After driving the car out of the swale you are your PARTY drove it off a cliff.

After driving more Americans to food stamps in the history of this country.

After driving unemployment thru the roof.

After entering into a civil War without getting approval from Congress.

Now you decide to use OUR senior citizens as political pawns?

You, The Obama are a total disgrace and have now proved to all America why Socialism is always a failure for the people and success for elitist members of government and their friend in big business.

Congresswoman Agrees With Obama, Americans Too Stupid to Understand Complicated Debt Ceiling Debate & Social Security.
Listen to her in her own words. It is very sad and tells you what the elitist Democrats members of Congress think of the people of the United States.

As America’s poorest wait for Social Security checks that may never come on Aug. 3, President Barack Obama will be out celebrating a milestone birthday at a party where tickets cost up to $35,800 each.

Republicans are slamming the decision to have the party as “insensitive.”

“This really shows how unserious he is,” Republican Rep. Joe Walsh, a fellow Chicagoan, tells Newsmax exclusively. “I realize it’s his birthday, but he is a president who has said he doesn’t know if social security checks will go out that day.

“If that’s the case, I cannot believe he will be having a big party that very day.”

Obama said on Tuesday that he cannot guarantee that social security checks will go out from August 3 unless a deal can be reached on raising the nation’s $14.3 trillion debt limit. “There may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it,” he told CBS’ Scott Pelley.

Unless the deal is reached, government services across the board will be cut and in many cases closed down.

“My first thought was that he will have to fly to Chicago before the third because I can’t imagine airports will be open,” said Walsh. “And he’ll have to have a huge supply of candles because the lights are going to go out.

“I am amazed he will be able to have a party at all.”

Walsh said he hopes to be in Chicago on Aug. 3 himself to be with his family in case the calamity that Obama has warned about comes to fruition. “I just doubt I’ll get an invitation to the party,” he said.

Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson is expected to perform at the birthday bash at the historic Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. The event will be one of the president’s biggest fundraisers of the year. Publicity literature featuring a red, white and blue Happy Birthday logo has already been produced.

The event will be “multi-tiered,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported. The Hudson concert would cost $50; admission to the party $200; a premium seat $1,000; a souvenir photo with the president $10,000; and VIP seating and dinner with Obama $38,500.

Another GOP Congressman, Louie Gohmert of Texas was incredulous about the timing. “That’d be as crazy as setting up golf games in the middle of going after Osama bin Laden,” he said. “I’m sure he wouldn’t do something like that – or maybe he would.”

Obama has been leading contentious talks all week with leaders of both parties in the House and Senate to avoid the August 2 deadline. On Friday he warned of financial “Armageddon” if a deal cannot be reached.

Then, against all logic, the AARP drove the passage of ObamaCare – while knowing seniors would pay billions in increased Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage premiums as a direct result.

AARP’s financial gain “could exceed $1 billion from the new health care law” – House Ways and Means “Behind the Veil” investigation finding.

Now they come out in support of “changes” in Social Security?!?
“…news that the most powerful lobbying force for older Americans had softened its opposition to benefit cuts could not have come at a worse time.” – the liberal Huffington Post

“The (AARPs)timing is very destructive” – Nancy Altman, co-director of the Strengthen Social Security Campaign

“I think they’re dead wrong on this issue and I think many of the other senior organizations feel the same way” – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)

The AARP’s new advertising slogan?
“Get over it!”

“We consider it unfair to tax Social Security twice, once when you pay in and again when you start to collect,” Weber says.

AMAC is courting legislators to introduce a bill to eliminate the tax on Social Security income that one in three people collecting Social Security are now paying.

Dan Weber, president of Amac says, “ it looks like AARP is a giant ship that has lost its rudder- and it is about to hit the rocky shore. The problem is they are taking their members down with them”

In stark contrast to the AARP, Amac recently issued two strong proposals to keep Social Security solvent while putting more money in the pockets of older Americans.

With a double taxation bulls eye placed squarely on the Social Security benefits of older Americans, The Association of Mature American Citizens is crying foul!

AMAC the leading conservative alternative to the AARP believes this just isn’t fair and is calling on all seniors to join them in it’s demand that tax reformers on the Hill take a closer look at this, peculiar inequity in the law that decidedly targets older Americans. Dan Weber president of AMAC says it is “appalling” that many seniors on social security must pay income tax on their benefits and is calling on Congress to address the issue promptly.

As an example, a person with a combined income of $38,000, (assuming $24,000 in Social Security income) would have half of his or her Social Security taxed. That person would fall into the 15% tax bracket resulting in $1,800 in extra tax on their Social Security income. In fact, when total combined income exceeds $44,000, 85% of the individual’s Social Security gets taxed, typically resulting in an extra tax of $3,000 or more. [See Social Security publication 915 to figure your combined income].

AMAC has designated its Web site, www.amac.us, as the rallying point for its new cause and is asking “seniors and their families to visit and express their opinions and tell their own stories on this and other issues affecting them.”

Obama to Call for Medicare Cuts, Tax Hikes in Speech

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, two years into a presidency that increased spending to prime a weak economy, is turning his attention to the nation’s crushing debt and trying to counter a Republican anti-deficit plan with a framework of his own that tackles politically sensitive health care programs while also increasing taxes.

The president on Wednesday was to deliver a speech outlining his proposal to reduce spending in Medicare and Medicaid, raise taxes on the wealthy and cut defense costs. In a pre-emptive response Tuesday, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, called any proposed tax increase “a nonstarter.”

The White House wouldn’t offer details of the president’s approach ahead of the speech. But an official commenting on the condition of anonymity said the plan borrows from the December recommendations of Obama’s bipartisan fiscal commission, which proposed $4 trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years.

In a preview of the speech, the White House said it aims to achieve “balanced” deficit reduction by keeping domestic spending low, reducing the defense budget, cutting excess health care spending in the nation’s biggest benefit programs, and eliminating loopholes and breaks in the tax system.

Obama’s speech will draw contrasts with a Republican plan that cuts $5 trillion in spending over the next decade and which the White House says unfairly singles out middle-class taxpayers, older adults and the poor.

Obama could face resistance from Democrats. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., on Tuesday reiterated his opposition to changes in Social Security.
The president is wading into a potential political thicket. Liberals fear he will propose cuts in prized Democratic programs like Medicare and Medicaid, the health care programs for older adults, the disabled and the poor, and in Social Security. Moderates worry that his plan could unravel bipartisan deficit-cutting negotiations. And Republicans already are poised to reject any proposal that includes tax increases.

But is he confused?? Isn’t the American people the one that is YELLING “We are mad as hell and we not going to take it anymore.”

“I want America to have the best infrastructure in the world,” Obama said. But why has it taken him 2 years to do anything!!! This is the same speech we heard 2 years ago when Obama became president but he NEVER delivered with his congress that had total control!! May be the chant should be NO YOU DIDN’T.

After almost 2 year of Obama being president and the Democratic Socialist lead by Pelosi and Reid we are worst off than we were and NO closer to getting the economy back on track. Once again the failed Obama and his congress want to spend and waste OUR tax dollars and punish the American people. Obama only knows to SPEND OUR money on Wall Street reform, health care reform and the government take over of the student loan programs in America.

Almost worse is that the Democratic Socialist congress and Obama continue to hide and denied that social security is collapsing and needs to be changed. Obama vowed that he would fight efforts to privatize social security. “To those who may still run for office planning to privatize Social Security,” he said, “let me be clear: It will not happen on my watch. Not while I’m president of the United States of America.”
Well we say OK, then you must go. Even seniors know that the plan is to keep social security the way it is for seniors now and those coming up on retirement but change it for future seniors who won’t receive any if no changes are made. This is a tough issue and Obama just doesn’t have what it takes to lead. He is just able to give speeches and spend.

We have a failed congress and president that have NO clue on how to restart the private market then have DESTROYED. They must be removed and replaced to SAVE OUR country.

It is the ECONOMY STUPID.
