CHECK YOUR PENSION PLAN

Submitted by: Donald Hank

Clearly labor leaders do not do math.
Quote:
Clearly there was a scam being run, and the mechanism was the projected rate of return. As stocks, real estate and bonds all soared during the credit bubble decades, pension funds got addicted to 10% annual returns and didn’t seem to recognize that those returns would have to revert to mean eventually. As a result they didn’t adjust their expectations downward. So now that stocks have literally returned zero for an entire decade and bonds by definition can’t earn more than a few percent a year, these pension funds are stuck with widening gaps between what they owe and what they’ll have down the road. And they’re surprised!

The Relationship Between Morality and Liberty
America is one of the most highly regulated nations on earth. We’re a nation of a million rules. Our lives are controlled by meddling bureaucrats who think they know what is best for us.
The rapid growth of government has made Washington DC a boom town. Of all the top 50 urban areas, DC is the only city unaffected by the downturn in the housing market. The nation’s capital also has the highest income. Federal employees have an average income of $126,000, edging out San Jose, the home of tech giants like Adobe, Cisco Systems, and eBay. The national median income for 2010 was $50,046.

A SHOCKER !!! THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA COVERING UP OBAMA'S SEXUALITY WHILE TRASHING CAIN

Why won’t the agenda-driven media report on Barack Obama being gay, sexually harassing male actor Kal Penn, and frequenting Chicago bathhouse Man’s Country…you know, the way they leaped to trash Herman Cain with unsubstantiated sexual innuendo?

Last week, the agenda-driven, drive-by media trashed Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain with unsubstantiated and poorly sourced sexual innuendo.
This week, let’s all talk about Democrat President Barack Obama being gay, him sexually harassing male actor Kal Penn, and his frequenting of Chicago gay bathhouse “Man’s Country” — using the Left’s established precedent for journalistic integrity when it comes to rumor and gossip.

GET ELECTED TO CONGRESS AND WEALTH GUARANTEED!!!

Submitted by: Donald Hank
Martha Stewart went to jail in a complex case involving insider trading. She lied about the facts and was sent up for that, but the underlying premise of the initial investigation was that she knew too much about her own company and sold her own stock on the basis of that information.
Contrast that with many congress reps and senators who do this kind of insider trading for a living, you might say.
There can be little doubt that insider trading is rampant in a legislature whose members receive lavish gifts from lobbyists, as recently stated by Jack Abramoff, himself a lobbyist.
Why aren't they in jail?
Instead of assigning them to an appropriate cell, we pay them enormous salaries and benefits and you call them "the Honorable" so and so when you address your envelopes to them.
What honor?

Do you want to get rich?  Just get elected to Congress.  The U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives are absolutely packed with wealthy people that are very rapidly becoming even wealthier.  The collective net worth of the members of Congress is now measured in the billions of dollars.  The people that we have elected to the House and Senate are absolutely swimming in money.  Unfortunately, it is not easy to get elected to Congress.  In this day and age you generally have to be heavily connected to those that are very wealthy to get into Congress because it takes gigantic amounts of cash to win campaigns.

Look whose relative just got $135.8 million energy loan
Excerpt: The sister-in-law of John Podesta, President Obama's influential White House transition director, served as the lobbyist for a wind power firm that was just awarded a $135.8 million loan guarantee from the Department of Energy. The company is Brookfield Asset Management. It boasts a board of nine directors, including New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's long-term girlfriend. The Energy Department's promise to Brookfield marks the latest in controversial massive alternative energy loans to companies with strong ties to the Obama White House and to top Democrat lawmakers.

OBAMA and SARKOZY REVEAL DERISION OF NETANYAHU

Dear Conservatives: 


Just yesterday French President Sarkozy was heard saying to Barack Obama: "I cannot bear Netanyahu, he's a liar." 

Obama retorted in response: "You're fed up? But I have to deal with it all day." 

This is Obama's "reset" foreign policy. Appease America's enemies in the Middle East while sticking it to America's sole ally in the region.

GERMANY AND THE EU - WHAT WILL THE FUTURE HOLD?

Submitted by: Donald Hank
Germany is a frugal nation. Say what you want about the German personality, but there is a component of honesty, hard work and thrift in them that has made them prosper -- traits shared by the Chinese, now an even bigger exporter than Germany (thanks to Western softheadedness). I would argue that the British and some others, e.g., many Americans, share this trait.
Because of this trait, and because of their experience with the disastrous Weimar Republic (where ordinary people took their earnings to the bank in wheelbarrows) indelibly etched in their collective memory, the Germans (unlike their government) are loathe to assume too much debt. It's déjà vu.
But with an unprecedented economic crisis upon them (see article below), they now face the specter of this dreaded monetization (money creation out of thin air) once again.
Will the outcome be much different from the Weimar Republic? If so, wheelbarrow manufacturers should fare rather well.
Monetization explained:
Need I explain the expected domino effect of all this on the US economy?

No country is economically more dependent on the survival of the euro than Germany: the export powerhouse-largest exporter in the world until China overtook it last year-thrived because Eurozone countries could borrow unlimited amounts of euros to buy German goods. But now that the gravy train has stopped in front of a mountain of unmanageable sovereign debt, Germany finds itself at war-with itself.

OBAMA AND HOLDER CONTROLLING SCOTUS THROUGH KAGAN?

Obama & Holder Hide The Truth About Kagan...
We all know that when Elena Kagan was solicitor general she helped craft the legal defense for ObamaCare. But do you know that a U.S. District Court Judge has ruled that Eric Holder and the Justice Department do not have release emails containing her recusal decisions? There's much more. Find out what else the Obama White House is doing to hide the truth about Elena Kagan.

Clinton (and the Obama administration) trusts the Islamists (in regard to the Arab Winters... aehm Spring-countries), who "promised" her that they would observe the Human Rights and rights of women and minorities.
Stupid, naive or part of the agenda?

Haven't they had a look to other Islamic countries and what's going on there?

FLORIDA RINO SUPPORTS TERRORISTS

Rep. Ros-Lehtinen release of funding to Palestinian Authority reveals yet another RINO

http://www.teapartynation.com/forum/topic/show?id=3355873%3ATopic%3A1612947&xgs=1&xg_source=msg_share_topic

In a stunning reversal of position, the Chairperson of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Rep. Ros-Lehtinen R-Florida, agreed to reinstate $200M in funding to the Palestinian Authority with a portion of that funding going to support PA security forces. The reasons for resuming funding were cited by Rep. Ros-Lehtinen as in the "National Security Interest" of the United States as well as the "word" that the government of Israel did not object. The statement issued by Rep. Ros-Lehtinen failed to cite what the "National Security Interest" is. The reality is this funding will buy weapons and fund not only the Palestinian Authority but Hamas as well. It appears that fact is lost on Rep. Ros-Lehtinen.

CONGRESSIONAL OATHS OF OFFICE PROVE MEANINGLESS

How We Came to be Where We Are
The sad truth is that our Congress has developed the mindset to totally ignore the Constitution that they took an oath to uphold. Most say that the lure of power is too strong to resist. This must be so because the rush to enslave US is so obvious. Smart folks, like our congresspersons, know full well the consequences of their actions. By continually finding ways to constrict liberty while rigging regulations so that favored companies gain government contracts the current Congress is creating a.....

CIA HIDING SOMETHING?

CIA Continues to Hide Evidence on Vietnam Era MIAs
On January 17, 1973 the Paris Peace Accords were signed by the United States, South Vietnam, Viet Cong and North Vietnam. They were touted as “An Agreement Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam.” The agreement did not, however, end the war and restore the peace for the hundreds of POWs and MIAs (Missing in Action) who were not returned from the war, for their families, who have waited for nearly 40 years for answers, nor for the tens of thousands of South Vietnamese who were murdered or imprisoned in “re-education camps” in the North........
