National Election/National Economy, a National Editorial by www.Jamestowncalif.com
The Political Final 4 Halloween Night, the Friday before Election Day coming this Tuesday November 4, 2008, I have to admit I have been Entertained by some of the News coming out the two campaigns. Last Friday here locally in Mission Viejo people were allowed to vote early. I think it is important to have voting early so more people can get to the polls. Today in the same area, the booths were not present so thinking I was going to Vote today I have to wait until next week. I was hoping that after seeing last weeks people voting early that more places would be available for registered voters. The Propositions are as controversial and talked about here in California as the Presidential Candidates.
The Economy has reached to the New Credit Stage where the Administration leaves office with the next administration having to endure most of the policies, policy changes, and try and balance the budget. The playing field has changed for local business these last 4 years especially. Things are consistently slow in many cities for business, and people are not going out as much until Friday and the Weekend. Gasoline has gone done unbelievably the past 5 weeks, and you wonder where that came from and what it took for one to break the story first on supply and demand for the price to decrease. People are seeing 2.89 for 89 octane, and that makes productivity increase by having one able to commute more and work in more locations, some driving goods from city to city for a Company.
What do the Presidential Candidates really have to offer the next four years, and what are each promoting or selling in their campaigns?
The Political Final Four starting with the Democrats whom have based their entire campaign on the Policies of the Bush Administration where some have failed and others have not. After Clinton Conceded, the American People were able to find out more information of the other candidates as the campaign went along. Some candidates in the campaign they themselves knew that they were not fully honest about themselves first of all. The disgust about finding out about John Edwards from North Carolina cheating on his wife at the time of the campaign and after all she had went through had to be one of the lowest things you will ever hear about in U.S. Politics history. John Edwards was a possible running mate for one of the other candidates.
During the Democratic Debates, the hideous candidates up there speaking against Obama and Clinton were Senator Dodd, Joe Biden, and others not worth mentioning. Senator Dodd liked to promote the peace corps and how during the 60’s and the Vietnam War Era how it was such a great and fantastic time for people to join the peace corps and because of that basis people today ought to do the same thing. Senator Dodd with his Mr. Coffee Appearance would roll with his words and voice and little did we all know that later in the campaign we would all find out that he was receiving a sweetheart deal on his mortgage and getting contributions from failed banks and mortgage lenders. You pause and laugh to think that Senator Dodd was even up there making the guest appearance to run for the Office of President of the United States. Crooks and Cheats two Democratic Candidates that the media tried to sell us on to Vote for them while the candidates are asking you for your vote or are they?
Senator Obama has been strong in the campaign throughout. Still, there are some things that the media’s basic information took a while to get out before his emergence. The fact that the Democratic leaders that already knew of his past connections with certain people would not come up in a very bias campaign and an ugly campaign towards the end. Senator Obama during the stretch while other Democrats were out campaign stood out because the others were just not candid. To top it off, after Clinton conceded, then the information comes out of Obama’s so called friendships or acquaintances of certain people one of those Reverend Wright and the other Ayres. The Republicans out of desperation are trying to label Obama as a Socialist after already the State of the Union 2 my book publication comes out next month (work on www.jamestowncalif.com News) has pointed out that in fact it is the policies of this administration that has created Socialism in this country.
The constitution protects the freedom of press and under the Amendment people have the right to seek out evidence and are protected when there are inconsistent policies taken by the government leaders under the oath given under the present democracy. The United States has become Socialist but not because of Barack Obama but because of the 8 years of President Bush’s Policies of the Economy right before leaving office. John McCain likes to copy slogans and use other people’s ideas. Barack Obama said in the ABC News interview with Charles Gibson that he likes to use other people’s ideas, and that is basically both of the campaigns.
The Republican Choices before the emergence of John McCain were Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, Fred Thompson, and Rudolph Giuliani. The News Media was soft on the candidates while the people from the outside, the other media, the bloggers, the writers, the producers, the media versus the media were not so nice to the candidates asking the questions in regards to the future direction of the United States particularly on the Economy, the Iraq War, and the Post Bush Policy. The Republicans were a bit not as critical to one another as the Democrats were. But after a while, the candidates just dropped like flies. You wondered why some were even in the campaign in the first place. The Media had their minds made up, and that depended on which two candidates from the parties were spending the commercials money’s during shows air time.
Ron Paul was a good Candidate and Candid, but was not getting the percentage points to remain in the race so he was unable to compete. The Texas Leader was of the best of all the other Republicans all in all, but he was just not able to get the popularity he needed all though you would see his signs and car stickers in areas you would least expect.
Mike Huckabee from Arkansas was a bit too hard core for the American People, and you can tell there is some raw sentiment he has while speaking about other candidates. He did well early but that was about it. Mitt Romney was a comedy of sort of candidate in my opinion although winning Michigan early after the first Super Tuesday he cut out of the race, and cut out of all those people that first believed in his campaign. For many it was disappointing for him to withdraw from the campaign, but in my opinion like other Republican’s he was there to get votes away from other candidates, and for the government to see which people were voting for which candidates based on one’s races, religion, state, and other factors that the media was reluctant to talk about. Mitt Romney's campaign was a complete joke. Rudolph Giuliani, a good man, was not doing well in the campaign after the Iowa Caucus getting only 4%, and that was a bit surprising. Giuliani was always in consideration for the Vice President Spot I thought after he left the campaign, and he organizes well and works hard and I thought compared to the other Republicans he stood out. His problem was how he over and over drilled the 9-11 terrorist act as using that as a reason to continue the Bush Policies in Iraq. The Republicans lacked Appearance qualities to get the sell on the American People. John McCain had and has senority being that he ran in 2000 against President Bush in the Primaries.
Senator Obama was doing very well in the campaign until he selected Joe Biden as his Running mate in my opinion. Although Biden does come from a district of good people, I thought that Biden was the worst pick that Obama could have selected for a Running Mate. Before the selection of Biden, Obama was leading 55% to 45%. Bob Barr is running as the Libertarian Candidate. Ralph Nadar is also running and has no purpose even being in the campaign. There is no Independent Candidate that the Media was able to have up there promoted. Some people re-registered as Independent because some people are just so disgusted with President Bush’s policies, the two terms, and the selling of the Iraq War. People are still questioning his reaction on 9-11, and why his entire staff has resigned or been found guilty of some kind of fraud or obstruction of justice. Presently the government is about to give 700 billion dollars away as a bailout to institutions, and 250 billion is going to banks directly all tax payer money.
The Obama Campaign is running only on the premise that people can have it back to the way it was under President Bill Clinton in the 90’s. The fact is that it has been a combination of two things. It is the Idea that by voting for Obama that the United States will be similar to the Clinton years because there were some good economic times for people. The second is the failed policies of the Bush Administration. Most of those failed policies are Economic, and the men and women serving in uniform saved his standing in history by the job they did out there one the battlefield. How such an un-liked President remained doing those media spots going on and on about a War that he knew the whole time was being sponsored by an outside party in the first place. The terrorist accused from 9-11 have yet to be apprehended. Joe Biden likes to remind the American People about that although he is said to be a foreign policy expert, many people would disagree. Talk Radio Personalities that are conservative have been all over Joe Biden. I think Joe Biden was a terrible selection for Vice President, and Clinton would have been better although Obama’s campaign ran against her campaign throughout some of those attacks and attack ads.
Then John McCain dropped the bubble or the bombshell, and the selection and emergence of Governor Sarah Palin stunned everybody. People right away criticized her on everything from her prior record, from her brief period of being Governor of Alaska, but she does have Executive experience. At first, she was criticized hard for McCain picking her out of the blue, and out of all the other Republicans. Obviously McCain was not calling the shots, and Palin now has reached a stage of senority in the Republican party. She at first was dodging the Media and the questions. But after going out and people seeing her, some people have made their opinions on whether they will vote for the McCain/Palin ticket.
I am a Republican and I have re-registered as an Independent because I have been disgusted from the way the government has been run against people and against our way of life promoting a falsehood outside the United States when we are the best country to live in. I have grown to like Sarah Palin all though I think she is completely full of Crap when she talks about something. Sometimes I wonder if she is running, but for her husband. And how she likes to criticize Obama for speaking with Ayres, it was said on a talk radio segment that her husband in the 90’s had connections with people that associated themselves with Alaska being Independent. That is important if that is a true fact, but the media have been late on giving us more information on both candidates. John McCain is the Maverick. He has the more clean record and at age 70 picked Palin to get Women to vote for his ticket thinking that Clinton supporters will vote for him. We still don’t know the true reasons why the candidates pick their running mates whether it is Biden to help out Obama because Biden has more experience or for Palin to help John McCain and the Oil Company drill for more Oil and resources in Alaska because she knows where the Oil is. Palin a Candid lady from all the Press coverage, but many people are reluctant to vote for her because of the fact she just came out of the blue. You wonder if John McCain’s wife had anything to do with that. You notice more Women on the Platform and on center state while perhaps the Men are out there posing.
On the last Presidential Debate it was Obama on the left, and McCain on the right. McCain looked good, and Obama continued to speak out on behalf of the American people that support him. Is Obama the better choice for the direction of the Country or is McCain? McCain is running on the status quote, and it is impossible for him to be away from the Bush Policies especially when he has voted 90 percent of the time on those policies. The economy couldn’t be in worse shape. Last time the economy was in bad shape, the transition of power did seem to make a difference on why the economy was doing well. I think that Banks, Bank failures, government policies on the local and state level have a lot to do with why people are out of work, and when people are out of work that is less money being circulated, purchasing power, and taxes paid for revenues. Will a win for the Republicans help the Economy or will it suffer more? It is bad right know for many people, and it is policy that affects business local, state and National that have changed the economy.
Many people that are African American are voting for Obama just because he is black. I have a problem with that. Early in the campaign I preferred Obama, but as the campaign went along, and after the media attacks on some of his acquaintances, it has affected me voting for him this November 4th. I also have a problem of women voting for McCain just because Palin is a Women. McCain couldn’t have done a worse job on his campaign strategy. Some of his commercials were hideous and far from the point. Now the McCain attacks are a bit more desperate as Obama is in the lead 50% to 45%.
The Media has been really persuasive and intentional on their attacks on various shows against Obama on his race. The fact that race is even discussed on a prominent news show shows bias, and that is the biggest bologna I have ever seen over and over the attacks and mentions of black this and black that, and the race issue. Many people will tell you that they are not voting for Obama because of his race. Knowing that McCain has indirectly played that card, and you can tell in the last debate. John McCain on the right looked good. He is the white man as white as a white crayon. And John McCain likes to use the slogan Country First as a Campaign slogan. Santa Ana, California used to have the slogan Education First. I think that Schools First is what makes Country Strong. John McCain like Barack Obama likes to use other people’s ideas to promote on his campaign because he has people in his campaign giving him the advice. The Candidates are asking you for your vote, or are they? You would think that there would be voting all week for people able to go out and vote. Are you voting for the candidate or for the candidates advisers?
McCain is now desperate and using Obama’s two acquaintances as reasons for people not to vote for him.
That is why I am an Independent. I am not fond of the two candidates and none of the final four candidates to be President of the United States. I have grown to like John McCain after all this horrible campaigning, but I am not voting for him because I think that for this administration policies, I don’t think that the same policy is what I want. I think that the Republican ticket deserves to take the hit this time around for the lousy policies that have occurred the last 4 years. That doesn’t mean that I am going to vote for Barack Obama. I don’t like his running mate, and I don’t like his party. I don’t think he is a socialist, but I do think that the present Republican Leadership have lead us up to being the Soviet Union or Socialist America. Bob Barr for President, at least he's a Republican. Let the people decide by there vote if Obama can win the election by winning the States in the electoral college. How will the next leadership be able to combat against the leaders leaving office, and the socialism they brought including the leaders of other countries that have to do with the lie that created all this mess in the first place by using Washington from Washington to commit all the Nations' resources. The Economy has changed and so have the people.
Here in California I was criticized for wearing an Obama pin being accused of not liking my country. There are people like that from all the media and talk radio criticism. The Republican Party owe Rush Limbaugh, owe that man a lot for his news information and opinions, the service he provides daily on the radio air waves. John McCain doesn’t realize that. Barack Obama saved the Democratic Party by his emergence and getting first time voters to register. Many registered as Democrat before all the news coming out. John McCain also saved the Republican Party after all the failed Policies of the Bush administration you would think that this election would be a landslide. But it isn’t. This election in my opinion is 47% Obama to 45% to McCain. The Media is helping McCain it seems during this last stretch. The skeptics and American People getting involved and doing a valiant job this election are the one’s that are going to ultimately decide the election. Hopefully the machines all work, the ballots are all counted fairly, and there is no cheating during this 2008 election. Cheating is the only way for John McCain to win this election in my opinion because I think that the present situation have the Voters thirsty for new leadership.

National Election/National Economy a National Editorial by www.Jamestowncalif.com
10/01/08 01:12:51 am Aerospace News
The 700 Billion Dollar Bailout Plan
The 700 Billion Dollar Bailout plan proposed by the Executive and Legislative Branches fell short of the needed votes to pass Monday. The New Proposal all of a sudden has become the National News overshadowing even the Election. Monday, the Stock Market collapsed for its largest point loss in history declining 777.69 points, the 16th largest percentage wise in history. The Blame game is what is going on now amongst the Congressional leaders and President Bush on why this bill is so important for the economy. The Congressional leaders are at their lowest using fear tactics in language on the media spots as we all are witnessing the leaders scramble and sell this ridiculous number for the Bailouts.
Recently AIG was Bailout out as the government approved billions of dollars moneys for the Insurance Company. Freddie Mac Bank and Fannie Mae Banks just recently got approved moneys in the billions for a bail out. Washington Mutual is now gone, and the switch to Chase are all factors of Bank Failures. Each Bank have their own failures. While some Banks recently bought other banks like Wachovia taking over World Savings, it is now more apparent that there is a deeper crisis or issue happening here during the later part of the Bush 2nd Term. Right Before leaving office, all these proposals are back tracking spent moneys from policies taken. At the same time, right at the end of the 2nd Term, one should question why now, rather than a year ago?
It started when the U.S. Administration approved a 1 billion dollar package for Georgia after Russia attacked or invaded the Country. Then the Proposals all game for Banks, Insurance, Agendas, and while the Economy is struggling to recover, this is the worst possible thing to have happened for ordinary working people. People have suffered through these tough times. Some People have had to endure the mere fact that government played a factor in one’s losing jobs by intervening so much in the private sector when the Public Sectors duty and job position is to preserve the Constitution first.
Former President Truman is infamous for saying that the Buck Stop here. What do you think he meant or what do you think that could have meant down the line? Deficit Spending is what it sounds like as perhaps the statement of the Buck Stop Here means that all moneys and revenues made the prior year will not be squander away by spending more than bringing in while at the same time providing a savings account. That would mean No National Debt if other Presidents respected the peoples money through the generations by not over and over deficit spending, or worse spending more money than needed during a War Time.
Former President John F. Kennedy was famous for his statement: “It’s not what your Country can do for you, but what you can do for your Country”. We are educated to believe that statement after the knowledge that at the time the President of the United States was killed November 1963 are to mean for all of us to Contribute and serve the Country because the Commander and Chief also serves. In that time, the Vietnam War started right after JFK’s Presidency. I believe, and have always kept those words, that speech in mind while we are taught that JFK was one of the Greatest Presidents by his Character and what he was trying to do. The government at that time in all agencies was changing and has been pretty much still influential still today. At the same time, I think it is important to also keep in mind that it works visa versa meaning, it is what your country can do for you when it is the tax revenues from employment and investment making the highest percentage of the contributions for the moneys to circulate. It is what your country can do for you by staying off your back rather than be on you all the time. The Economy Today is at a ridiculous phase, and it should have never reached this point. It is what you can do for your Country, and it is important that the Country does not attack you economically or physically.
Monday September 29, 2008, the Stock Market took its biggest point plunge in history 777.69 points. Tuesday, the Market gained 485.21. Investors are actually antsy and anxious of the government proposed bail out. People Today bought stocks for cheaper than they would have Monday. People are in crisis, and some are in panic because of all the bank failures happening all at once while the Cash Flow is stagnant. People don’t sell stocks often times because they want to but because they have to just like when one is put in the situation of having to sell your house or property.
So we ask ourselves, how did the economy get to this point where the economy is so bad? The government has not been talking about the raise in gasoline past 4 dollars now at 3.50 which effects productivity. The high price of fuel most of all effects costs to maintain a business, your employers business, and it affects your own expenses if you have to drive to work 30 minutes or more.
The Banks, the Media, and the leaders have put a lot of blame on the consumers, and the homeowners for the Mortgage Crisis and decline. The failing loans, the ARM loans, the raising of interest loans have accumulated to be too costly for some folks and there are a record number of foreclosures this year. In Southern California’s Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, there was a 280% percent increase of foreclosures. Many People lost there homes because they lost there jobs. When you have to find work and go out, it costs for gasoline, and when the price goes up it is tough for so many people. People oftentimes have to choose between fuel or del taco. People that have there jobs in Orange or Los Angeles Counties have to drive 25 dollars worth or more a day. If you own your business and drive, then all gas increases affect owns ability to maintain other bills.
The Mortgage Crisis is one of the main reasons why the Government is proposing the 700 billion dollars to bail out the banks for the faulty loans. The President continues to reiterate how urgent it is for the economy to get this bill pass. Some of the things that are in the bill have not been debated, and some congressional leaders voted yes with some not reading all the paperwork. It is absurd the level of deceit going on with Congressional Leaders and the Executive Branch as they are trying to sell another plan after all the selling they have done that got us all into this mess in the first place. But it was all well calculated, and there is some kind of working together these institutions and the government as they have swindled all the money they can each person, all 280 million of us.
The Homeowner continues to get the most blame for the mortgage crisis and excuse why the Banks are in need for so much money, each one. But there are two ways to look at this situation before blaming the customer. The Customer when he had money was taken advantage of with the way terms were written on the agreements of the loans to buy the home. Sometimes the homeowner doesn’t have good credit, so he pays the extra point, sometimes pays two points so that in two years he can refinance. This is the time when the bank calculated the ARM loans for them to make money, but for the consumer to bust in 5 years on that adjustable. Don’t forget the taxes. On a property at 500,000, your taxes are at 6000.00. Stay in the home for 10 years that is 60000, so when the government boots your out of your house or job, they don’t take that into consideration. They only consider when they need or want the money, and are not concerned about you. In fact , the bank makes money no matter how you look at it. The Mortgage business was a good market and business to be in from 2001-2006. Now the government wants a piece of that monopoly by being the one’s first to bail out certain banks, and second to provide loans to homes that are seized or foreclosed. It is economic warfare going on locally, but the congress leaders don’t take people into consideration when coming up with such hideous proposals.
Say you have a 300,000 loan, and you put down 30,000 to get the loan. If you refinanced with an ARM loan, that adjustable goes up each year, and by the fifth year, the payment would go from a 3000 to 4300 or more. If you pay 3000 a month times 12 months that is 36000 per year you are giving to the bank. In 5 years 36000 each year would be 180000. The Evil is in the Interest and how the Banks double dip each property based on calculating first how people tend to move, work, and immigrate to the U.S. cities. So You have paid 180,000 in 5 years on a 300,000 loan, but don’t owe 120,000, you owe more than the principle because of the way the banks structured the loan basically punishing you for your credit history no matter how you look at it. Now the Congressional leaders want to bail out the banks. There is no homeowner bailout out proposal even attached to this bill. To add what is not being presented is how the bank is the one at fault, and why should the tax payer pay for the bank failure? The Bank collects a good percentage of money for each property although the house is foreclosed. The Bank took the risk by giving these loans when they knew the loans were cheating their customers. Rather than giving homeowners a fair fixed 5% loan, the banks swayed and gave the other loans. They also had their representative sign for those loans, and get paid on those loans. Knowing that the loans could bust the customer, the Bank chose to give it to him anyways knowing that it was in a way cheating. So why does the tax payer have to bail out the banks on the Mortgage Crisis for the faulty loans that they underwrote. One thing that sticks out, the banks gave out some of those loans with the attitude that it didn’t matter almost like they knew they could be reimbursed or bought out by another bank. While people are in terms of one loan with one bank, notices come in all the time to pay for taxes when due when sometimes the bank presented the loan with taxes included when they were not included giving the IRS a reason to bother you. Flat out Cheating people out of money when people were making money before the gas increases came. Looking back the ARM loan the first year was interest only and reduced to where there was some cash flow going into the economy by one thinking he is saving on his house payment when it is only for the first year.
There are other factors that the Congressional leaders and President are not talking about on reasons why they want this bill passed, and passed so soon without much debate.
Is Bank of America Committing Fraud? In My Opinion, Bank of America is committing some sort of Cheat with their customers on how customers are able to use and spend money. Fraud is a tough word, and you decide. A lot of people bank with Bank of America. Recently I had a bad experience with B of A after I discovered by Checking account was Overdrawn 343.00. I became overdrawn first at 168.00 and while I disputed the charges, 4 thirty dollar fees, by Monday I received more fees. What B of A does is get you on your charges with the ATM/Credit Card. A lot of people don’t ever bounce a check and would automatically blame the person who bounces a check or uses the card with no money in it. It is always easy to blame the customer. However, what I noticed, is that some ATM charges are not automatically taken out of the account when used. I also noticed that I was able to get 20.00 from the ATM, use the card for small purchases when I had a certain balance. But if one check comes in and it bounces, rather than charging for the one fee on that check, the bank is back tracking all the prior purchases and uses of the card while there was money in the card. The bank does not stop the card when it gets overdrawn, nor does it properly always notify the customer of an overdraw. But the points of sale that were used when money was in are being charged also when a check comes in and bounces, all the uses are being charged the 35.00 fee. To add, when you buy gas at Shell, the Station is not right away taking the funds out. Some stations first approve for a 1, then approve it again.
Don’t bounce a check, or don’t use the card flat out. But for the many people that this happened to, the end result is while the bank is taking fees money, that money could be and should be going out intot he economy. A 1.95 Starbucks Coffee, a Coke for 1.11 at Wall Mart cost me 35 dollars each after one item came in to overdraw the account, the bank back tracks the points of sale. So if you had money on Friday, you may still not be able to use it because if you do and a check bounces, all the uses are being charged. I pleaded and argued my case to the Bank of America Representatives, but they all seemed that they didn’t care. They showed no concern when I said that I can no longer bank with B of A because the way the Bank is charging me to use my money it is costing me more on fees than on bills. 43.00 cost me 343.00. When I went to another bank to open an account, I noticed that other banks are also charging these fees on charges of the use of the card.
Most people will bounce a check once a month, but that should be one fee for that check. But the trick is in the card. It poses as an ATM meaning Automatically transferred. Instead it is taking 3 days or more sometimes to clear certain items. So if Star Bucks is taking too long to get paid from B of A, I can’t go to Star Bucks of it is going to cost me 35 dollars because of the machines. Same thing goes for Wall Mart. Shell is a Gas Station, and funds should be transferred automatically. The Bank Rep will mention the card use as a Visa or Credit. But in fact it is not a Visa, nor a Credit card because if anything is paid, your not getting an end of the month statement. Your still getting a 35.00 charge even if you used it when there was positive funds, but something comes in, or takes a while to clear, the other charges are being back tracked, and fees are added. Too many fees. Imagine if you’re an employer, and one check bounces, then the other checks bounce. So if your boss tells you not to cash your check on Thursday just because you got it to wait till Friday there is a reason.
The Iraq War, and the fact that the Iraq Government is buying equipment from private companies while it is the Public's money that has supported the War. The Iraq War has exceeded 700 billion dollars, and by granting 700 billion dollars, it could be the reimbursement of those funds. Rather than being Reimbursed by Iraq’s government for providing duty and security that is not what is happening. It is almost like paying twice. 6 years of the Iraq War, and the mission is still not defined while Presidential Candidates continue to use the Wars Progress as a platform for why you should vote for him. Both Presidential Candidates have had their campaigns affected after President Bush Summoned both of them. It is a diversion, and it hurts Obama because the Democratic Party are such weasels the way they are asking for the money. Senator Dodd has a lot of nerve going up there asking for the money and votes while he received the sweat heart deals for a home loan. All the leaders have a lot of nerve especially Republican Leader Boehner blaming the house or representatives for not passing the bill Monday.
John McCain did not even invite the Governor of California to the Republican Convention. The Governor was faced with the California State Budget crisis that later passed for a 143 billion dollars. The Budget for the State was 143 billion, and the President and Congress want 700 billion dollars to bail out Banks.
Hurricane Katrina sure could have used such quick response and money, but those people were just not considered as important as the banks, CEO, and private interests lobbyists. 200 Billion would get the city back in order. New Orleans was one of those Port Cities that Dubai Ports World wanted after 9-11-01 before the Hurricane. The President or Congress has not been wise with the funds generated from revenues and taxes.
I think that 100 billion dollars-200 billion dollars should be the most going out in case there is a bail out in my opinion. Anything that this President Proposes should be questioned when the media should have already made there case for the people for impeachment based on the Iraq War lure and WMD’s. What if there was another war and we needed the money to finance ourselves. What if World War 3 happened at our doorstep and that 700 billion was needed for that rather than for this. All the factors are leading to the same denominator, and that is the government is becoming more and more socialist, and communist state while there is another war taking place, in on it through their agencies, neglecting the people, and economically attacking them through government policies, war, and the spending of tax funds through deficit spending.
Ironically before the Iraq War, President Bush didn’t really need Congress. There were many times looking back that Congress influence meant nothing. But when Funds are needed, the President is nice to Congress. He was not that nice to the Congress before the Iraq War, but during the War, it has been the opposite. And the disgust of the Democratic Congressional leaders all working hand and hand with the President is also showing that what led up to this point, and what got us all here all looks more and more blatant and deliberate by the day. Everything these leaders say sounds dishonest, and the American People now see through these leaders based from their own experiences. The 280 million U.S. citizens have been neglected in everything, and the money was always there, but now it is not. Not one of those 700 billion has been proposed to get people health insurance. So if you are ill and have no insurance, there is nothing for you. But for the Banks and CEO’s that willingly knew that they are doing some sort of cheating, they would not have tried to get away with it, if they didn’t know they have some kind of back up. And like a Criminal, they are trying to cover their tracks. It is no coincidence that all these bank failures are all happening now, and the foreclosures and short sales are a percentage of the missing money from the mortgage crisis, but there are other reasons why the government leaders are trying so hard to pass this bill.
Then who would print the money, and off what paper. Canadian Paper is what is being used more now for news papers, giveaway slips, and even money. This proposal is solely to get more tax revenues and cash flow out into the economy for specifically going to certain interest groups in my opinion. If this bill passes for anything more than half, it will be a media failure and if socialism is what our government is becoming then what point is it to tune into the media news stations

Global Warming? Environmental News
12/29/06
The Canadian Ice Shelves
Global Warming? Oil Drilling in the area? What is it? Why is it
happening now, so fast? Are we prepared?
According to a recent report, in August 13, 2005, one of
the six largest or major ice shelves in Canada broke away, went West
50 miles as an Iceberg Island, and then froze in the Beaufort Sea, 497
Miles South of the North Pole from Ellesmere Island. The Size of the
broken ice sheet, one of six in size is said to be 11000 football fields size, as the giant ice shelf burst free from the Arctic of Canada. Now theirs fear that future ice shelves can
also break off due to the nature of how this one broke away.
Not anybody saw this happen, and now in December 2006, 17 months later, the
reports are coming out to us more. The Scientists are using satellite
images of the break off, and its obvious that their was a vast break off
of the ice shelf in Canada just under 500 miles from the North Pole.
Scientists in the report whom are familiar with the area, and have
studied the icebergs have made devastating claims, facts mentioning
that 10 years ago , it was not like this. According to Scientist W
Vincent: Laval University studies Arctic Conditions, science
“in 10 years of working in the region he has never seen such a
dramatic loss of sea ice, he said.” (ref to report)
The Most startling part of the report, is according to Vincent since
the discoveries of icebergs in 1906, that the remaining ice shelves, 90
percent are smaller.
Very troubling this report, and the fact that the satellites were late
on giving people the chance or knowledge of this in August 2005,
before, and now in late 2006, the Media are coming out with their
reports, about a page.
A Catastrophic Event, the speed of the break, and the fact that
their was an earthquake, seismic activity felt 155 Miles away from
the power of the collapse of the ice shelf proves how
this area is vulnerable to such dramatic changes, occur such
as these.
Global Warming? Oil Drilling? What are the causes of mass
collapse of ice shelf, icebergs. The Climate is warming up, and the
years of it warming up now are causing part of these collapses, no
doubt about it. Is Oil Drilling causing it more, as many government, private
and public companies are making discoveries in Oil all throughout
Canada, and theirs no stopping the companies on drilling regardless
of the environmental impact.
On another report early in the week, polar bears are now
acknowledged on being on the endangered species lists, and groups
are bringing suits to court over the protecting of the polar bears all
throughout North America. Seals in Alaska’s also are on the list of
species that are becoming endangered. What are people doing to the
environment? Is it all necessary now to be drilling for oil, when their
are alternatives now that people are aware of, that can save money,
create jobs, boost the economy, and protect the environment. Instead
its the opposite, and the Environment impact already has been felt
in this generation, as the prior ones have done enough damage to the
environment as a whole , that its this generation that needs to work
on solutions.
Many Companies are worried that this great ice shelf can disrupt
petroleum ship routes after the oil has been drilled, then shipped
elsewhere, that an iceberg could affect the ships travel. The groups
are worried more about the Oil Companies. But what would happen
if there was a ship struck by an iceberg . What would happen if
there was a ship that had Oil that is struck by a collapsed or broken
iceberg? Another environmental disaster, and theirs a lot of talk, a lot
of proof that climate changes have affected these ice shelf to break
away, adding that in the South Pole, Ice Shelves are even bigger. Well
how much bigger?
The Speed of the collapse of this one of six great ice shelves is
alarming according the reports scientist. But what is even worse that
the groups are investigating something now, that occurred in August
2005, and people are not aware of the impact, nor prepared for future
break offs of ice.
What would happen if in the South Pole, an Ice Burg or Sheet
collapsed/Broke away? If you look at the map now, their is already a
part that is collapsing in the East of Antarctica. If that is so, then that
iceberg or ice shelf would fl oat into the pacific, and either melt in the
ocean, creating more water, more tides, ect, or float then come right
to shore, possibly headed anywhere between LA and San Francisco,
going up shore, far inland , possibly. An Iceberg , or Icebergs could
fl oat all at once, all over the world, disrupt a lot of areas, cause all
kinds of natural disasters. This is an important issue, global warming,
and while the Bush Administration has been weak on Environmental
policies, other Countries are polluting more so in the meantime , and
its a collective effort, non effort of the Superpower that shows a lot of
flaws in its system, and the worlds environment is paying for it.
Like the World is alive, the more the people contribute to the
pollution, CO2s, ect, the more the World, Mother Nature weather
forces change. Its an Impact greater than people are able to prepare
for, and making it worse with all the good and new technologies the
Nations have, nothing is being done to curve global warming, to
protect habitat, getting worse and worse, greedier and greedier over
money, power, all part of the government corruption not only failing the
people, but the environment. These ice Sheets in Canada date back to
3000 years ago, part of Canada’s ice sheets that fl oat in the sea.
reference report to L. Copeland, University of Ottawa
Since Writing this report, it has been reported that there are
underground explosions going on in Antarctica area after satellites
have detected lakes deep beneath the ice surfaces. New species have
also been discovered all through both the North and South Poles as
species are adapting to the changing environments all over the World.
It has also been reported that there has been a significant melting of
the polar ice caps, and we are faced with the possibility that it’s a good
percentage.
