Stimulate This

DemoMemo, a blog by Cheryl Russell has this fascinating post titled The Great American Shopping List that I have clipped the 10 bullet points below. They are listed from the largest to the smallest top 10 expenses for American earners. Now consider where our money is spent and the Obamanomics agenda for economic stimulus. Spending our way to prosperity will result in an increase for the rest of us who are footing the bill.

1. Social Security payroll taxes
2. Mortgage payments
3. Car payments
4. Groceries
5. Restaurant meals
6. Gasoline
7. Federal taxes
8. Property taxes
9. Health insurance
10. Electricity

Read her blog and then consider that 3 of these items are TAXES, lower those taxes and consider your budget stimulated. Now consider that your gas and your car are heavily burdened by taxes and government regulation. Lower the gas tax and ease the regulation on car manufacturers and you provide a double stimulus. Lower car prices and lower price of fuel for the cars will stimulate the auto industry far more effectively than government handouts. With half of the top 10 household expenses now stimulated consider us on our way to recovery.

Now let me squelch your enthusiasm. The Obama energy plan calls for the bankrupting of the coal industry with no feasable stratagy to replace it. I predict #10, cost of electricity in this list could quickly offset any stimulus benifit we could possibly employ. 70%-80% of our electricity comes from a source our current adminstration admitedly wants to eliminate. If you thought the price of gas was an issue in 2008, just wait for the carbon off-set tax to start effecting your electric bill. Secondly, consider how the latest policy Obama has to allow states to indipendantly regulate car emission standards and his plan to increase regluation for fule economy standards you can kiss the US auto industry goodbye.

Cleanly Bad Marketing

I'm no marketing genius however when I saw the new packaging that Tropicana has on the shelf next to the Minute Maid I immediately thought to myself I would much rather have a nice glass of pure orange juice from that dripping orange on the bright orange bottle than to drink anything from the bottle that resembles laundry detergent.

Judgement in Leadership

We choose our leaders based on the ability they have to echo the goals of we the people in shaping our government policy and making decisions on our behalf. When we go to the polls we make the decision based on what we know about the candidate, the judgment they have proven in the past, the issues that align with our own, and the causes that we wish them to champion. We vote with the belief that they will be a leader we proudly represent our community, our neighbors, and our children. A leader who we would follow, who we would trust, and who will lead by example.When our leaders fail, when they fall, and when they falter, we must hold them to the standard that we set when we elected them. To do anything else is to ask less of ourselves, and to lower the standards we set on our society. Leaders should be held to the highest standard. Above all, they should represent the majority of our views, our values, and our principals. While there is always a minority opinion and view equally respected, the moral standard should never be lowered. The expectation of a greater sense of responsibility and judgment should never be altered, excused, or forgiven. We are speaking of our leaders, roll models, and the people we look to for guidance. When these leaders reveal a lack of judgment or character, no matter if in there private or public life, they should be called to account, and if they fail to voluntarily resign, they should be replaced.

We the people expect better than ourselves in our leaders!
Why would anyone support Mayor Sam Adams of Portland? Would you ask him to run your local high school after admitting to a sexual affair with a 18 year old that started when that person was only 17? Not only should he resign, those fostering support for him should be put on notice that they too lack judgment to lead.

Party Tonight - Compulsory Service Tomorrow

Part of the Obama Administration policy calls for a national civil defense program that requires community service. A civil defense training course described in 2006 by Rahm Emanuel suggests a militarized training program aimed at preparing Americans to deal with terrorist attacks.

Now imagine for a moment as the US Military was strained by our conflict in Iraq then President Bush suggests we require military training of our college students. Why does this get swept under the media rug when it is part the Obama plan for national defense?



"The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start."

Compulsory Service as well funded as our US military? Sounds like a similar youth program started in 1939 by another charismatic leader.

Wet Winter Blues

Don't let go Jon!

On a rare dry January day when the sun peeks out and teases me with the threat of winters close, I reflect on what the 1st day on the lake will be like. While rummaging through some old photos this one will remind you that rain is not the only thing in Oregon that can get you wet. (innuendo not intended)

Public Gay Sex ok With Newsom

[WARNING - THE FOLSOM STREET FAIR LINK BELOW IN THIS POST- NSFW]No matter what your view of homosexuality is, you might find it shocking how far some fringe elements of the GLBT community will go to promote the idea of free sexual expression in the name of diversity. My opinion has been constant: straight or gay, Keep your PDA to yourself, much more, your sex to yourself. It is intolerable enough to see heterosexual teens sucking face at the bus stop, now if you want to attend the Folsom Street Fair, you might see more than what is even legal in your neighborhood strip club. Public gay sex. Consider the risk of lawsuit if a school so much as permits a prayer, now the San Fransisco police won't even prosecute public indecency! What used to be considered normal and decent is now disgusting, what is considered disgusting by most is being called and expression of diversity.

Your witnessing the end of civilization not just in your lifetime but today.
