Senate Panel Votes a “No” on Public Option What does that Mean? National Economy/National Editorial 12 by www.jamestowncalif.com 9-29-09
Tuesday the Senate Panel Voted a “No” on the Public Option Plan. The Health Care Insurance Bills so far have shown a certain bias. According to last weeks Los Angeles Times Thursday report, there is nothing in that bill that is going to control costs. To add, Medicare faces a 240 billion dollar reduction according to the Baucus Bill. What does this all mean? How does it affect people and how does it affect the National Economy, and what about the State’s Economy?
“It’s my job to put together a Bill that gets 60 Votes” said Baucus (ref msn.com report). Max Baucus is the Montana Democrat whom is the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. The President has stated that he wants the bill at a 900 billion dollar budget over the next 10 years. Some Independent groups have it at over a trillion.
It’s a policy where the Government Option is competing against Business and the Senate is the Middleman or in the middle making the votes while the bills are drawn up. Many leaders in the recently elected class of 2006 and 2008 have been very harsh on their words and assessment on those people against some of these bills. It is already known that many leaders consistently don’t read the paperwork before voting, so does that mean is that vote valid? (Something I pointed out in my book the State of the Union 2
It seems that the Congressional Leaders are desperate for getting a bill together no matter how much it costs, and no matter how it affects business and the economy. It is a true fact that the fact that this debate is even going on is because of two reasons. Reason number one is because the costs are high for care currently. The second reason is because the insurance companies continue to charge a lot on their policies, and sometimes they play tricks with the customer by dropping them sometimes, or fighting over the cost of the care with the doctor or hospital. To add when the hospital knows that either the State insurance or private insurance is going to pay for it, they raise costs on medications, care, and visits. The reforms are needed, but not in the fashion that I have noticed from what the Public Option is which was voted down today in the Senate.
The popular sang: “is the government option going to be able to pull the plug on grandma” is something the American People are concerned about. The American People rightful are standing up for their rights by debating this issue. The leaders are calling some meetings as Mob-like, and that is not right. Many people are happy with their insurance, and happy with what they have. Those people have played it by the rules over a course of time without changing that course and now the leaders want that disrupted.
The leaders say that a public option will not affect private insurance, but I disagree. It seems as if Washington wants the bill to be able to control the Health Care Industry State by State, and get people into their system. What will that do to the deficit in 10 years adding 900 billion-1 trillion dollars into that new system? It's like giving them a reason to print more money, then tax it, then pay interest on it while this system doesn’t control costs. Some leaders have said that the Bill will control costs, but according to the Los Angeles report Thursday last week, there was nothing showing that it will control costs. In fact costs can go up if the doctors and hospitals know that the government is going to pay for it. That will also mean that every person has the likely to be directed into care that they would not otherwise need. At the same time there have been reports that if you don’t have insurance you’re going to pay up 3800-4000 penalty for not having insurance. For every penalty or tax on people for not having insurance that money otherwise goes to the local & state economy.
It's like shoving it in your face and standing there telling people what are you going to do about it? It is unbelievable the newly elected leaders urge to borrow as much money as possible for all bills. Can there be a possible fraud that is going on?
I think that with all this information going around about what the groups have put together, it seems as if this is more about controlling the industry itself. There needs to be insurance reform I think. This can be the time when the economy flourishes by private insurance companies giving better deals on policies for people to afford. Instead, there has been nothing I have noticed by the insurance companies to give policies at lower costs. It is a tough economy, but in order to make the economy better you need to get competition in industries. This is a golden opportunity for the economy to get a boost of money, but so far it has not happened. The insurance company needs to do more to give incentives for people to buy policies that there is no need for a public option, nor the debate. Its is the excuse the leaders use knowing that its not health care reform we need, its insurance reform, and costs reform in hospitals and care that need some reform. And the big one, the giving people of medications, the costs of those drugs, who is going to pay for it. Right now they are already expensive, and I think too expensive, and that is what has not been addressed where the leaders are more keen borrowing another 1 trillion dollars to pay for a Health Care Reform Bill.
What happens if that money runs out? What will happen to the private insurance industry and the people whom make their living on selling insurance if there is a government option? Some argue that it is a government take over of the health care industry, is that a fair assessment? The first thing that will happen is that people will lose their jobs in the private insurance industry. People would quit if they were unable to sell insurance at the rate they have been or if the government option is less by even a few bucks. That is why the insurance companies need to do more. Those people that will not sell insurance anymore will have a gap in employment thus there is tax money that is lost from his income, then from what he owns say property. Taxes in the state level can be lost if a lot of people are put out of work over a bill that can change the way business is done from a private to a public economy.
Some of the leaders have acted in an aggressive stature on this issue. Some leaders have insulted people directly in the town hall meetings. I thought the B Frank comment to that lady:”What planet are you on” went to far. I also question where some of the leaders get their information and if they are intentionally either incompetent to running a National Economy or are deliberately trying to hurt people which ends up hurting the National Economy. Some of the news I have seen the last 2 weeks, I have never seen such bad news, and the economy is worse that it was last year at this time. The economy is the same only that there is more deficit spending, and that is what needs to be addressed. The private economy circulates and pays for itself. The public option can eventually go broke, just like everyone else has without a bail out. I think that the leaders seem desperate on getting a bill together then to vote on it as Baucus suggests he only cares about getting the 60 votes.
I think its remarkable all these commercials about trying to sell this health care reform when its more than that. “No American Should go broke because they get sick President Obama Says. He’s right in that commercial. However the leaders putting the bills together so far it has shown that first costs will not be controlled, and second there will be reductions in Medicare, and those are two big factors that people know that is not making sense in all this. Why do you want to cut Medicare, and why the Bill that has been put together has not addressed costs.
New York News, making it mandatory those workers that are in the health care industry have to take a H1N1 flu shot. There was some protests today in Albany on that new measure. Socialist Medicine is already trying to get through the barriers it seems now in New York creating a law for people that are doctors or working in the industry all having to take the shot. Some people may quit or not go to work over this. Its something that you wonder well how did the virus create up in the first place.
How is the Public Option going to create competition as Senator Shumar suggests saying that "We need a Bill"? What if it devastates the whole industries itself both the health care industry and the insurance industry? And what about the taxes that people generate from employment what happens to those taxes if people lose their jobs over these reforms that the tax payer is going to be paying for anyways the way the bills are structured right now?
And what about Cures for diseases, couldn't that 900 billion be used wiser, and does any of that money proposed do anything to get a cure for a disease?
thank you

Update Saturday Night the House Votes 220 vs 215 on the House Version of the Health Care Reform Bill. Although there was only a five votes difference, the Bill passes, and its considered a party victory. The only questions are now people want to know which house leaders voted yes or no, and whether each did read the Bill, and did each understand the economic impacts before casting the vote. Mondays News people are going to have ask their district leaders how did they vote, why, and if he read and understood the Bill's impact.
The Bill is said to have 500 billion dollars of Medicare cuts. The people affected by Medicare reductions or cuts already paid those money's in order to have the benefit, and now the House Bill possibly changes that almost like taking money from the program in order to finance the other programs.

THE STATE OF THE UNION 3 JAMES REPUBLICAN STRATEGY/NATIONAL ECONOMY
ISBN:978-0-557-27692-9
The State of the Union 3 #16 President of the United States Obama signs with Russian President Medvedev to reduce Nuclear Stockpiles/Warheads down in Each Nation.
International News 8-03-09 U.S.
On August 3, 2009 President of the United States Obama signs with Russian President Medvedev to reduce Nuclear Stockpiles/Warheads down in each Nation. President Bush signed a similar accord which reduced the United States Warheads to 2200. Now President Obama has obligated with Russia to reduce that even more from that 2200 to 1700 by 2012. Since the Cold War both territories have signed accords such as START, START 2, and this measure goes even farther. Does it increase or decrease National Security?
Of course many people are promoting this in the United States as good and they're 100 percent sure this is a good idea. On the other hand there are those people that are more than skeptical about how this is going to transpire and if Russia also complies. There are a lot of questions to ask on the urgency of signing the Warheads Reduction Treaty.
Nuclear Stockpiles are very high in Russia compared to other countries such as the United States. Russia currently has a recorded 13000 Nuclear Stockpiles throughout its territory. The United States is second in the World with amount of Nuclear Stockpiles at 8400 recorded. France is third in the World with 300, England has as many as 200, China has as many as 200, Israel has a recorded 80 Nuclear Stockpiles, Pakistan has 60, India has 60, and North Korea has 10.
U.S. History and Media Channels throughout the Years during and since World War 2 have been unable to give the truth to the American People on how this all came to be. Now in 2009 with so many new policies happening all at once people are now questioning its country’s past policies, and most of all questioning other countries politics and how they relate. People now are more entitled to know some of the left out things about the Post War, the Cold War, and what has happened since the fall of the Soviet Union in Russia. In the United States its economy is more socialist then free market, and people here are now a lot more concerned of its own leaderships’ policies and why is the system bankrupting the country in the fashion we have seen. The Nuclear Issue is something a lot of people prefer not to talk about mostly because of the sneakiness politicians on all sides have been conducting through the years.
The Question is now that President Obama has signed this Accord with Russia, where are the Stockpiles coming from, and where are they going? How is this going to transpire? Does it make the United States more or less secure, and is it the right time?
People can all agree that Nuclear Weapons are a threat to Peace. In a way, it has kept borders or false Peace between the Super Powers. I think that the American People are not being informed enough on the way the Nuclear Age first happened, then World War 2, then the Cold War, and now the Post Cold War. How did all these other countries get support and the technology and personnel to put stockpiles together?
Currently the United States and Russia are said to be allies, but that is what TV tells us more so. Russia does have a lot of influence on American Agencies since the End of the Cold War, and the Nuclear Treaties have been the gateway or excuse for them to be able to come here and work in whatever government job one has. I am not sure if the same goes on visa versa. This Accords Purpose seems to be towards disarmament. Is that even possible? I don’t think people know what the Soviet Union is, how they came to be, and how they collapsed economically in Russia. Was the building of Nuclear Weapons Stockpiles one of its main objectives as a government in Russia? Although Russia has a larger amount of Nuclear Stockpiles than the United States the purpose of this Treaty more so is to have both countries have the same amount of ready warheads reduced to 1700 each, and even possibly going from 1675 down to 1500. The Warhead is the piece that is the actual top of the weapon or the weapons itself of the Missile or Weaponry.

What happens if that money runs out? What will happen to the private insurance industry and the people whom make their living on selling insurance if there is a government option? Some argue that it is a government take over of the health care industry, is that a fair assessment? The first thing that will happen is that people will lose their jobs in the private insurance industry. People would quit if they were unable to sell insurance at the rate they have been or if the government option is less by even a few bucks. That is why the insurance companies need to do more. Those people that will not sell insurance anymore will have a gap in employment thus there is tax money that is lost from his income, then from what he owns say property. Taxes in the state level can be lost if a lot of people are put out of work over a bill that can change the way business is done from a private to a public economy.
Some of the leaders have acted in an aggressive stature on this issue. Some leaders have insulted people directly in the town hall meetings. I thought the B Frank comment to that lady:”What planet are you on” went to far. I also question where some of the leaders get their information and if they are intentionally either incompetent to running a National Economy or are deliberately trying to hurt people which ends up hurting the National Economy. Some of the news I have seen the last 2 weeks, I have never seen such bad news, and the economy is worse that it was last year at this time. The economy is the same only that there is more deficit spending, and that is what needs to be addressed. The private economy circulates and pays for itself. The public option can eventually go broke, just like everyone else has without a bail out. I think that the leaders seem desperate on getting a bill together then to vote on it as Baucus suggests he only cares about getting the 60 votes.
I think its remarkable all these commercials about trying to sell this health care reform when its more than that. “No American Should go broke because they get sick President Obama Says. He’s right in that commercial. However the leaders putting the bills together so far it has shown that first costs will not be controlled, and second there will be reductions in Medicare, and those are two big factors that people know that is not making sense in all this. Why do you want to cut Medicare, and why the Bill that has been put together has not addressed costs.
New York News, making it mandatory those workers that are in the health care industry have to take a H1N1 flu shot. There was some protests today in Albany on that new measure. Socialist Medicine is already trying to get through the barriers it seems now in New York creating a law for people that are doctors or working in the industry all having to take the shot. Some people may quit or not go to work over this. Its something that you wonder well how did the virus create up in the first place.
How is the Public Option going to create competition as Senator Shumar suggests saying that "We need a Bill"? What if it devastates the whole industries itself both the health care industry and the insurance industry? And what about the taxes that people generate from employment what happens to those taxes if people lose their jobs over these reforms that the tax payer is going to be paying for anyways the way the bills are structured right now?
And what about Cures for diseases, couldn't that 900 billion be used wiser, and does any of that money proposed do anything to get a cure for a disease?
thank you

Update Saturday Night the House Votes 220 vs 215 on the House Version of the Health Care Reform Bill. Although there was only a five votes difference, the Bill passes, and its considered a party victory. The only questions are now people want to know which house leaders voted yes or no, and whether each did read the Bill, and did each understand the economic impacts before casting the vote. Mondays News people are going to have ask their district leaders how did they vote, why, and if he read and understood the Bill's impact.
The Bill is said to have 500 billion dollars of Medicare cuts. The people affected by Medicare reductions or cuts already paid those money's in order to have the benefit, and now the House Bill possibly changes that almost like taking money from the program in order to finance the other programs.

The 3 Earthquakes in Pacific Rim: Samoa, American Samoa, Indonesia- National Current Events 2009/Natural Disasters written 10-03-09 from week of Tuesday 9-28-09
The 1st Earthquake in the Pacific Rim gave little time for people to evacuate or prepare for what was to come and that was the Tsunami that came afterward. The 8.0 Earthquake occurred at dawn before 7am. From Tuesdays report and Wednesday Los Angeles Times report 119 people died in the Samoan Islands. The Earthquake came first, and within 9-10 minutes the Tsunami waves came in after one, two, three, four of them which reached from 15-20 feet high. The residents ran to higher ground in fear. The Islands looked like they had been hit by lightning from the ocean‘s power onto the island which the water destroyed in its path large structures, a main power and communications area, and many deaths were reported as children.
The 8.0 Earthquake was said to have created the tsunami waves onto the Samoan Islands. Just minutes after the quake came the tsunami waves. There was great destruction and devastation from the terrifying quake. The whole area felt the affects of the disaster in some way. Many people were unaccounted for while searches going on. Many residents in the United States have recounts of family members not accounted for.
There is a lot of prayer going on within the Samoan Community. What I noticed after researching the disaster more by reading the newspapers information that Samoan people are very caring for one another, and there are over 50000 residents that live in Southern California. The website for you to be able to help is under www.helpsamoa.com.
“Cars were swept away and overturned”. In American Samoa the 1 of 2 main power lines were knocked off during the disasters, but how destroyed they are more investigations are needed for the aftermath. During the tsunami waves incoming inland, there were poor communications, and the Los Angeles Times report used the word “spotty”.
“A mass of water that rose with steady destruction force as it neared. It was not a wave you could spot at a distance on the ground”. (Los Angeles Times ref D Farmal a 45 year old resident)
There were 6 confirmed deaths at Tonga which is South of Samoa Island.
Wednesday came the next Earthquakes at Indonesia. The Sumatra Earthquake measured 7.6 centered at Padang a city of 900 thousand people. There are 200 confirmed deaths from Wednesdays report and according to the Health Minister Siti Fadilla Supart he believes that possibly a 1000 more people may have died from the Earthquake, and 500 people trampled in destroyed buildings.
In the Samoan Islands, there was a quick response initially according to most reports for relief efforts and supplies such as food, water, and some medicine are coming in from Hawaii. Reuters News Agency reported that places are burning from destruction. Big buildings, markets, and hospitals were destroyed.
The 2nd Earthquake at Sumatra measured 6.8, and that one did not cause any tsunami warning. The Earthquakes between the Samoan Islands and Indonesia are 6000 miles apart.
Oddly Tuesday all the way 100 miles from La Paz at Juliaca, Peru there was a 5.9 Earthquake measured which on the global map, all the Earthquakes happened along the Pacific Rim belt.
The question is why or how did they happen when they happened, and what caused the tsunami at the Samoan Islands in case that emergency happens again so that people can be better prepared.
According to ABC reports the tsunami waves force reached up to 500 miles per hour. Some recounts of people on the ground have said that buildings are gone, not damaged, but gone. One man said (Joey Cummings): Like a bomb went off, a radio personality took some videos while the water coming. There was little media there during the disasters recording the events. People were reported as missing, cars washed away, and some people swept away up to buildings. 4 tsunamis slammed the coastal resorts.
2 locations and 1 in Peru, the Earthquakes in the Pacific Rim during the past week occurred. Tuesday the ABC Report had President Obama issue the American Samoan Island a State of Emergency while the Los Angeles Times first reported Wednesday “a disaster area”. The Pago Pago Quake at the American Samoan Island at 8.0 caused 119 deaths confirmed with some people washed out to sea. The waves came in and it all happened so fast, the preparedness gave little time for people to evacuate orderly. The U.S. Coast Guard was sending aircraft with relief supplies. The Coast Guard on TV stated that “these are the conditions we thrive on”.
The USA Today Newspaper gave some good facts on the reports of the disasters. They reported that the destruction at the American Samoa side was the worst natural disaster on U.S. Soil since Hurricane Katrina. They also reported that President Obama declared the American islands a disaster area. FEMA and the U.S Coast Guard seemed to be coordinating effectively as they were working on getting supplies from Hawaii.
People you can see caring for each other from the reports here in Southern California trying to communicate with their loved one’s. There was a lot of sadness, stress, anxiety, and anguish from people’s individual counts and loses from these disasters particularly the tsunami waves. There was a people/human element I notice throughout the week while I was working on putting together a news report.
The USA Today Newspaper stated that the Tsunami waves were caused by an earthquake 120 miles away remote South West at 7am which caused four waves up to 20 feet high. They reported that the waves reached a mile inland according to their source from the National Park Service.
One of the parts of the report I noticed to be interesting was the time the Earthquake occurred, early in the morning, and then the tsunami’s. How were the islands social and protective services working during the crisis nearby? According to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii, they stated or said that it issued an alert, but the waves got to the island so quickly that people only had about 10 minutes warning after the quake, and this is a fact.
Pago Pago was leveled with mud. Fishing boats and sail boats were tossed. There was an estimated 1000 people that are without homes. Relief response seemed to be quick after the tsunami destruction.
40 miles West of American Samoa, Tonga was ravaged hard by the disasters. The USA Today had a good photo alongside the report which told the story in itself on what happened, or what came in there? There was total destruction in parts of Tonga.
People were running up to the mountains and to higher ground. It was said out of 60000 people residing there, possibly 30000 evacuated in that same fashion. Children were reported amongst the deaths. The city of Lalomanu was said to be hardest hit. Some buildings you couldn’t find them. Gaigaifo had reported the destruction of homes. The air photo of Pest Fonua AP showed the Western Island of Tonga at Hihifo wiped out. The Villages are absent as the wooden structures were easily washed away.
The Waves destroyed the Park Visitor Center. The Church of Latter Day Saints reported 8 deaths they confirmed. The New Zealand Harold reported 1 Australian citizen death, and they reported that they expect the tolls will all increase as information is gathered in. The United States is directing the relief effort in American Samoa, and Australia is directing the relief effort in Samoa.
The VA issued information for people in need at American Samoa that their facility is ready to serve and care for people. In the beginning of the tsunami there was pandemonium as there were people coming into the hospital centers with great emotion. People accounted the situation there that were not enough beds/cots for the bodies coming in from the destructive path of the waves while having to care for new patients.
In Indonesia, the 2nd Earthquake occurred right in the middle of the Sumatra Island at the West Coastal City of Padang. The Indian Ocean is West of Sumatra. The Earthquakes were felt on other islands nearby. The epicenter at Padang measured radius reading was up to the middle inland of the island according to the illustrations.
The USA Today Reported the Earthquake at 7.6 as an undersea quake that was said to have toppled buildings, creating landslides, and even starting fires. The Quake Wednesday was followed by a shallow inland quake at 6.8 where at Padang there are 200 people so far reported deaths. 500 buildings were destroyed, and the extent of the damage is undeclared until communications are improved.
There were a reported 372 deaths from Typhoon Ondoy at the Philippines. The typhoon landed in Vietnam, Laos, and parts of Cambodia. More information on the Manila disasters and upcoming Typhoon information log on to the Filipino-American Newspaper at the www.AsianJournal.com Orange County and Inland Empire October 2-8, 2009 Issue. I think it is important for people to know the newspapers of the different cultures so in case of emergency people are better prepared.
John McCain stated in a news flash that he thinks that it’s important to get better information, and that we need to gather all the good, reliable, and accurate information as much as we can to better know how to handle and deal with situations, and I agree with that.
There is currently another typhoon warning in the Philippines area after the Sept 26 disaster. It was reported at 11:09 ABC LA News that a second typhoon in eight days has landed at Manila killing 16 people so far and it’s on its way to Taiwan. Typhoon Parma continues to wage.
In the USA Today Newspaper Hugh Gentry from Reuters captured an interesting photo of a car in a house that was flown or tossed into a structure buildings' window through the wall in American Samoa.
The New York Times article by Liz Robbins was a well informed article. The area of the Earthquake at the Samoan Islands was located right under, and for the distance of where the first 8.0 quake occurred, there was over a 100 miles from the quake and where the tsunami waves hit.
The New York Times Newspaper Thursday starts out with the Iraq Elections at Parliament. The Los Angeles Times front page article starts out informing readers about gun laws and the concern regarded Gun Rights. The USA Today front page Thursday had the First Lady's picture of her lobbying for the Olympic Games to be held in Chicago.
Interestingly the USA Today also has EPA News on the front page of its October 1, 2009 edition where the EPA finds toxins in the air outside of 15 schools. There are 3 schools located in the Southern California Area including Lennox Elementary, Soto Street Elementary in Los Angeles, Santa Anita Christian Academy in El Monte. The EPA Reported Alabama having 4 schools, Kentucky having 3 schools, and Michigan, Ohio, New York, and South Carolina are reported to each having one school affected. The Samoan Tsunami News Photo is located in the middle of the Newspaper. The New York Times front page photo directs the reader to page A6 getting more in depth to the story news reports. It was reported that in Samoa there were 103 deaths, and 145 injuries. I liked the Report by the New York Times by giving other information about the plates which caused these quakes, and the location of them.
There were 24+ aftershocks shown in a 200 mile radius after the 8.0 Earthquake. On the East side of Samoa, Upolu was devastated and hard hit. The 8.0 Earthquake occurred 120 miles South West of the Islands which was said to be an undersea earthquake that caused the Tsunami waves causing all that destruction and loss of lives. The Red Cross reported recovering 79 bodies at Samoa. They reported that 30 villages were destroyed. There was spread out damage of roads through Pago Pago from the tsunami’s destructive path.
“Both Earthquakes occurred in spots where one plate of the earth’s crust is sliding beneath another plate”. The Sumatra Earthquake’s depth of the epicenter was 49.7 miles. In Samoa, the epicenter was 11.2 miles under the ocean below the seabed. The location of the 8.0 was in a remote location of the Pacific Ocean. The territory’s Governor of the Samoan Islands Togiola T.A. Tulafano said that the most damage and destruction was caused by the 2nd and 3rd incoming tsunami waves. Padang sits on one of the world’s most active fault lines.

National Economy/National Politics 15
Appropriated Money's 15
The 787 Billion Dollar Stimulus Package has been under a lot of scrutiny the past few weeks because many economists and people in general have questioned whether the Administration and Congressional Leaders have been honest with the people on whether the Recovery Act has created the jobs that they claim. Oddly this week was the week when the numbers came out. The Report Friday had a 640,000-650,000 jobs created or saved from money the Stimulus has Appropriated for work. Included in that figure stated that 325,000 jobs in the Education Sector were saved or not lost from the Money's help. The Cost to create each job later on the tax payer has to repay with interest and its uncanny that the leaders continue to persuade the viewers on the different news channels that the Stimulus is working and that is what saved the Economy from collapse. When in fact the leaders have all the tools to calculate the National Appropriated Money's and this is what is so funny about how each leader for the Recovery Act continue to talk about how great it is.
In Every State in the United States there have been budget cuts due to the lack of tax revenues generated the 1-4 years. Consumer Spending is a key component of how the economy rebounds from any recession. The States rely heavily on peoples transportation uses, the cost of taxes for gas per gallon, property taxes, pay roll taxes, and sales taxes. The local economy is something that has been ignored while all the bail outs went on, and while the leaders continue to throw Federal Money to States to create jobs. The Economy now is more a Public Economy rather than a Private Economy. They don't talk about all the politics one has to deal with while owning or managing a business. They don't talk about how the Mortgage Crisis a few years ago didn't have to happen that way, and now construction is affected by those mortgage policies, lending policies, and national policies say when gasoline goes up higher than 3.00 a gallon. Still Who controls the price of Oil, or sets the price of gas?
It's premature to say that the 100 or so Billion dollars so far appropriated to people, companies, and business to do work has created 640,000 jobs. Are any of those jobs a job that one can keep for 5 years, or 10 years? A job is when a person has a consistent work load and pay throughout a good amount of years, and not a job that one just paves the street and the job is finished in a few weeks. To add, when the Education system is a disgrace in California Schools, not all, but many, you would think that the leaders in Congress would think to invest in the kids so that they are able to get good jobs in the future. Rather they are relying on the rich even as much as they tax more and more to spend more and more of the peoples money. 56 billion dollars would have been a good idea to give to the Education System in every school, and that may have covered it for 10 years. Instead they claim that 325,000 jobs were not lost or people didn't get pink slips because the Federal Government provided the money coming to the mercy of workers in the Education Field in the States.
The States money is what needs to be used to go to schools and roads more so unless its a Interstate Highway. There seems to have been so far a waste of that 56-100 billion dollars that later on no matter who is getting a paycheck from that appropriated money later on the kids going to school today have to pay for it out of their taxes, out of their pocket and fortune just to create a job.
It's Socialist Economics what is going on right now in the United States. To add when the Federal Money is used for local and state projects, that defeats the purpose of why people are paying state taxes. People are paying state taxes so that money goes to improving quality of life such as building roads, building new parks, and that is extra. Instead the Federal Money paid from the State is excessive and in return when the Federal Money is given to the State as a Stimulus to create jobs that money needs to either be repaid or it goes towards the National Debt. I think its remarkable how many Congressional leaders knowing this continue to act on behalf of themselves and interest groups when voting on borrowing more money for bills and stimulus.
This is an Era when the people are more aware that the leaders in both branches have possibly lied or mislead us on the information they gave us before voting on the Stimulus Package/Recovery Act, and now after it's starting to take into affect where the appropriated money is going. Some of that money is going on these newly created government jobs when they use tax payer money to pay people to watch what people and businesses are doing using many different excuses from the War on Terror to just snooping around.
This Economy is only recovering because people are making it recover the best they can. Many people made good investments, and many people still have their homes. The Excuse that was used on giving people mortgages that they shouldn't have received has to stop on why the Housing Industry declined. The excuse that the prior administrations policies are to blame for why this economy is in recession also needs to stop. The different News channels have a choice on how they want to present this new information that is out there.
Viewers are going to have to make a choice on which News Channel or Station they want to recognize as a reliable and candid news source rather than watching the propaganda of personalities now trying to hint or sell a second stimulus. This Era for them is a make it or break time I think on how each report where the appropriated money's are going, and if it is really creating a sustainable long term job that leaders claim it is now at 640,000-650,000 jobs according to the reports Friday.
