***THIS IS THE DRAFT VERSION OF POST I NEVER COMPLETED, ORIGINALLY SAVED ON 1/25/2011. THEY ARE COMPANION NOTES TO THE ACTUAL TEXT OF HIS SPEECH WHICH I PUBLISHED ON 1/25/2011.
That State of the Union Address was a disgrace. These are the notes I jotted as he was blathering; I'll connect them to the points in the speech he was making when I wrote them in a minute.
Now he's going to try to sell us his clean energy tax...
Blatant lies. Does he think we're going to forget the last two years? He just asked for additional spending allocations yesterday...
I just watched a special report the other day that said "our" government subsidized some solar panel company millions, if not billions of $; within 6 months; that co. went bankrupt. We need to start drilling off our own shores!!! END OUR DEPENDENCY ON FOREIGN OIL!!
By the end of the decade, the US will have the highest % of UNEMPLOYED college graduates...
Boehner isn't buying any of it. He's rolled his eyes more than once and hasn't clapped for any of Obumbler's lies so far. Pelosi would be leading "the wave" by now...
Notice the military men did not stand/clap or even smile when he brought up the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell?”. He's destroying US...
So he’s going to cut defense spending as well as funding to Medicare (government run healthcare for the elderly, which, I might add; the elderly have already paid for via automatic tax deductions from every pay check they worked for) but he wants us to throw open the flood-gates and grant citizenship to illegal’s who have never paid into the system...
The recession is over??? We need a government that learns how to live within our means???
Let me tell you something to maybe give you a little insight to why I feel the way I do. My dad paid a million dollars in taxes a year for as long as I've been alive, could have used some tax shelters and loopholes, but never did. Raised 5 kids without any help from Uncle Sam and put us all through private university by paying out of pocket because according to the government, he had too much money for any of us to qualify for financial aid.
Keep in mind, that he owned the biggest public transportation bus company in all of NY, servicing Manhattan and the 5 boroughs. He employeed 5,000 people and paid them top tier with the best company paid benefits available. The gvmt. didn't subsidize a dime of his company and even if they offered, my dad wouldn't take the $ because then they'd have a say. The man woke up at 4 AM every morning to drive to Queens from our house in Jersey and didn't get home until 6 PM at night.
My point in telling you all that is to say, yeah, we were fortunate, but we were fortunate because my dad WORKED HIS ASS OFF to make it so. He paid more than his fair share into the system and he's never gotten shit back from the system inn return. And never complained about it either.
When I got hurt, my medical bills topped $1,000,000--over and above what insurance covered. Granted, it was my parents choice to bring in certain specialists, but even the basic care, the room I was in while I was in the coma cost a hundred grand a day because of the 24 hour care. I was in my coma for 14 days. In ICU for another 2 weeks before I got transferred to a children's rehabilitation hospital for another 3 months.
While I was in the rehab, there were a lot of other kids there under "charity" care. And the government was PAYING THEM something like $100/day. When my parents asked about it after they found out from one of the other parents, they were told that I "didn't qualify" because my dad had too much $.
Why has my father always been punished for working hard? And this is nothing new under Obama, it's always been that way; Obama just wants to give them 10 fold more.
I'm disgusted with the whole thing...
