Look forward to Daniel Hannan on glenn beck..amazing that no mainstream media cares to hear his message,eh? AARP trying to justify its support a Obamacare which will have a severe and
negative impact on care given to the elderly who they purport
to be looking out for and providing the “best deals”in insurance!
Our Founding Fathers gave us a constitutional republic and were
clear in warning against an abusive central(Federal govt.usurping
power from the states )separation of powers..executive,legislative,and judical which we do not have
at this time..instead one party rule (filibuster proof senate
and now the Executive branch ridiculing and/or labeling anyone
attending townhall meetings and voicing opposition as “astroturf”,paid agitators planted in the meetings by insurance
companies or the Republican party (in other words using the Left’s tried and true “community organizor”tactics of paying
volunteers (Acorn)to perform “civil disobedience”like breaking
into a Foreclosured home.The Alinskey method…Code Pink,Move-on.com Posters with Bush shown with a Hitler mustache all O.K.
I expect we will see more violence at townhall meeting as paid
volunteers infiltrate the crowds and as experienced agitators
disrupt the meetings concerned citizens ,mothers & fathers of
“special needs”kids and retirees will not get their legitimate
questions answered and since no finished bill is out there,all
representatives can’t honestly reassure anyone with specifics!
WOW 9.5% to 9.4% unemployment(wonder if summer jobs Kings Dominion,Busch Gardens etc.resort hotels & restaurant are likely to cut jobs as summer crowds leave?!

Wow,the Bad news is not as bad as some thought it would be and
unemployment is down a 10th of a percent so Stimulus is working?!
maybe some of the previously laid -off workers have managed to get part-time jobs and no longer in unemployment lines…good news but this economy with a deficeit twice as large as the one
Candidate Obama railed about prior to his election and the “crisis” he inherited was soooooooo bad he had to spend more in
100 days than the previous admin spent in 8 yrs! Not exactly
Change we the people can believe in!

For TWO years prior to the start of the recession we heard that we were in a recession, even though ALL economic indicators indicated otherwise. Now that we are in the midst of a recession, those same people want to tell us the recession is over! The money we’ve spent the past six months has definitely laid the groundwork for the next recession even as we work to get out of the present mess (though this one will come sooner and have the additional bonus of inflation). If you don’t have the money, don’t spend it!

I saw and heard Mr. Hannon’s comments to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, regarding Mr. Brown’s policies to taxing, spending and borrowing. I only wish to God we had an American politician that had (to borrow a phrase from ousted IL governor Rod Blagojevich) the “testicular virility” to say the same things to Mr. Obama at a joint session of Congress.

The problem is, of course, that Daniel Hannan belongs to a party that has done more to hand over the powers of the British voter and taxpayer to the EU than any other party. It has also supported, with limited intelligent or intellectual input, the bank bailouts and the UK government’s failed approach to the financial situation. It is bankrupt of serious ideas or ideology. What is worse, in order to kill off genuine free market, anti-regulation rivals, it strikes poses which are dutifully reported by tame journalists, but which it reverses when in government.

To Damian, London — I cannot and will not dispute your knowledge of Mr. Hannon’s party and what it has or hasn’t done in the U.K. All that I can react to are the things he has said about reckless and irresponsible government spending and its impact on taxpaying citizens, things with witch I happen to agree.
