As a major shareholder in the newly formed Government Motors I demand to know when I can pick up my company car. Could someone tell me which of the dealerships still in business are taking requests for company cars? Now that I am the majority
stock holder in the company I would like to have as one of my perks a nice new company car and not one of them HYBRIDS either. I want one of those big old gas guzzlers that the President drives. If Ms Pelosi can fly around in a company jet, and the President can drive around in his fleet of
SUV’s then AS A MAJOR SHAREHOLDER IN GOVERNMENT motors SO CAN I.
Please make delivery of my new company car to the address you have on file in my Share HOLDERS portfolio. THANK YOU.
| The biggest bankruptcy in US history was also the fastest bankruptcy in US history. Isn’t it amazing how fast the government can move when they are motivated by a historic confiscation of private sector power and wealth? |
| As of this morning, American taxpayers are now the majority shareholder in the newly created Government Motors, which will build the Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick brands looking forward. |
| American taxpayers paid over $50 billion for 60.8% of GM. That money was used to save 66,000 American jobs. That comes to $757,575.76 per job saved. A little pricy if you ask me, but we are talking about union jobs here. |
| By comparison, less than 1% of the Obama-Pelosi “stimulus” package was directed at stimulating small businesses, which account for 98% of all jobs in America. But when it came time to save union jobs, Obama-Pelosi opened up the taxpayer pocketbook and coughed up a very generous $757,575.76 for each of 66,000 GM jobs saved. |

Once again the enlightened and educated amongst us prove once again that COMMON SENSE has died. These government programs in England and in New York are destined to fail because of the very foundation they are attempting to build upon. Instead of teaching these AT RISK young ladies about self-esteem, and the virtues of a chaste lifestyle, they reason that since these girls are going to have sex anyway we might as well teach them about sex. And like every other government mandated program IT FAILED! Not only did it fail it FAILED miserably.The truth is it made the matter worse than if they would have left the girls alone.
Sound familiar?

A multi-million pound initiative to reduce teenage pregnancies more than doubled the number of girls conceiving.
|
|
The Government-backed scheme tried to persuade teenage girls not to get pregnant by handing out condoms and teaching them about sex.
|
|
But research funded by the Department of Health shows that young women who attended the programme, at a cost of £2,500 each, were ’significantly’ more likely to become pregnant than those on other youth programmes who were not given contraception and sex advice.
|
|
A total of 16 per cent of those on the Young People’s Development Programme conceived compared with just 6 per cent in other programmes.
|
|
The failed YPDP, launched in 2004, was based on a similar scheme in New York claimed to have significantly reduced teenage pregnancies.
|
|
However, attempts to replicate the work elsewhere in the U.S. did not lead to a fall in teenage pregnancies, casting doubt on the project as a whole.

We’ve known this for months. In the later half of the Bush Administration there were serious attempts to *fix* this but the likes of Frank, Dodd, Kerry, etc….kept it going. Government in banking?? what would Alexander Hamilton have said? or M. Friedman?
| Federal Government Was Culprit in Housing and Economic Crisis, Says Congressional Report |
| Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were the chief culprits in the housing crisis because they encouraged people who could not afford payments to borrow money, according to a congressional report released Tuesday |
|
The claims in the report have long been advanced by conservatives, who argue that the Community Reinvestment Act and other federal programs fed the housing bubble that burst in 2007 and led to the economic downfall in 2008.

| “In the short run, this government intervention was successful in its stated goal – raising the national homeownership rate,” |
| “However, the ultimate effect was to create a mortgage tsunami that wrought devastation on the American people and economy,” |
| the well-intentioned goal that everyone have a home even if they can’t afford it,” |

The list grows longer each day. The accomplishments of the 44th President continue to accrue. Check out Obama’s updated Resume and get to know the man behind the teleprompter.

“It is a great pity when the one who should be the head figure is a mere figure head.”

Barack Obama is less of a person than an image— a brand. People see whatever they want as they do on a Rorschach test. But does anyone really know him?
|
|
A man with no birth certificate.
|
|
A man whose birth records, both in the United States and Kenya, are sealed by government order.
|
|
A man whose childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, spied on U.S. military installations in Hawaii for the Soviet Union, edited a communist newspaper, authored pornographic novels, and wrote poetry in praise of Joseph Stalin.
|
|
A man mentored by and still supported by radical Muslims.
|
|
A man who promised transparency in government, but has spent over a million dollars in legal fees hiding information that would determine his eligibility to be President.
