                                  Obama Bailout for States  ------------ Zero  The Obama FDR Head Fake "New Deal"  is in the Cooker

            Brute Force Benevolence, and a Damn Good Start

                                    E. Anthony Santos (Tony)   May 7, 2010   FreedomsPilot.com

        Brute Force Benevolence, and a Damn Good Start ….. a progressive affirmation to 15 months of black hole spending, assault on the

 Constitution, commerce and freedom. There are no coincidences in Progressive politics.  Obama’s Bipartisan Deficit Commission has been

 all but dismissed as cover to insulate the President from thecommission’s recommendations, but there’s a straight line between the deliberate

 and a few well placed resources (Andy Stern, Craig Becker, Hilda Solis) will bear this out soon enough.

     Education reform under any other administration would be responsible government, but Obama Ed. isn’t about turning around +5000 failing

 public schools.   Record debt has positioned state provided public services for leveraged federal takeover.  Initially the fourth branch of

 government, organized labor, will take collateral damage, but their future interest will be protected.  $4 Billon (Porkulus) in Race to the Top

 (RttT) door prizes goes a long way to chum the waters for states hungry to supplement their education budgets.  Oblivious to the fine print,

 “funding contingent upon compliance”, 41 states adopt the RttT  ”Voluntary” Mandatory Common Core Standards.  Only one state, Texas,

 opts out of RttT in part over concerns of Washington’s reach.  The real objective is the push for charter school expansion and public school

 conversion requisite to RttT.  Lawmakers in 26 states scramble to eliminate or raise charter school caps.  NEA/AFT leadership is left

 scratchin’ their backside, clueless and shutout by the man they helped to put in the White House.

      Second to healthcare, the big ticket expense for many state budgets is education, $600 Billion collectively nationwide.  Rank and file

salaries and pensions / benefits rack up as much as +70%, mirroring the fiscal vacuum of the big three automakers. States deep in the red

have graduated from cutting budgets to wholesale closing of public schools.  2010-2011 collective state budget deficits could potentially reach

 $375 Billion.  High unemployment, falling tax revenues are compounded by virtual insolvency, and trillions in collective underfunded pension

 liabilities. Desperate state legislatures unable to shutdown spending, make the tough choices, are lookin’ to legalize and tax dope, and

 breakin’ out the tin cups.

     Obama’s appointment of Andy Stern (SEIU President) to the Bi-Partisan Deficit Commission screams transformational change that would

 radically restructure, reframe, the provision of public services.  48 states face large deficits in 2010-2011, a dozen or more face insolvency.

 The effects of a second federal bailout would be more detrimental than the first. Insolvency would force the state into federal receivership,

 triggering serious economic panic. In either scenario economic reaction would be severe, how severe depends whether we land

North or South of 8000.

     Trillions in mindless federal spending and bailouts was essential to restraining economic recovery, and leverage states dependence on the

 federal government.  Where it all falls apart is the rate and magnitude of states debt.  To dodge the failure of Obamanomics, we can expect

the administration to launch an ambitious FDR-Like program (shell game) under the guise of “States Tax Relief” to provide states with

 permanent fiscal relief, yet not commit a single federal dollar to that end.  In short, at the expense of states sovereignty and independence,

the federal government would assume the obligation, control and provision of selected state provided services.  Salaries, benefits, pensions,

would fall to existing federal bureaucracy.  Underfunded public pension liabilities would be assumed in part or in full. Educators in California,

New York, and Illinois, alone are facing +50,000 layoffs. Acquiring control of education, the promise of “saving” millions of NEA/AFT rank and

file jobs, secures not only their vote and support but secures the classroom, curriculum, and a near endless supply of  Young Skulls Full of Mush.

Obama’s recess appointment of Craig Becker (SEIU Legal Hack) to the National Labor Board and Labor Secretary Hilda (Pro-Labor)

 Solis will insure the long term interest of NEA/AFT.   

     It’s illusion to believe controls can be imposed on a free market system that will yield prosperity without failure.   For nearly 234 years, with

few exceptions (Coolidge, Harding, Reagan) every attempt to fix, manipulate, or regulate commerce was rewarded with unintended negative

consequences.  Today’s economic crisis is a result of political and legislative engineering.  Years of prep produced an economic meltdown in

 mere months beginning with Sen. Chuck Schumer’s outing of Indymac and culminating with the Fannie, Freddie 08 October Surprise.  Control

 of the economy is not the object target of the Obama administration but rather the mechanism to leverage states dependence.  Of the states

 facing insolvency today, all faced major fiscal issues prior to the 08 Meltdown.   Barack Obama’s adopted home state of Illinois, bond rating

 approaching  junk status, GDP $641 Billion nearly twice that of Greece is facing insolvency. The common threads to states fiscal vacuum and

 Euro PIIGS  pending meltdown…… entitlements, benefits, bloated pension programs, and near empty public pension funds raided long ago.

     Obama’s “Damn Good Start” is coming unhinged.   Emulating the EU Model while the Euro is swirling the bowl and Athens is burning is

 nothing short of target fixation.   The IMF will be breakin’ out their Tin Cup, once the rest of the PIIGs are feedin’ at the bailout trough.

America’s economy is bolted to a global model where failure is a simple matter cookin’ the books.  Ten years ago we’d be talkin’ jail time

not bailout  (Enron).  Just shy of 18 months, without immediate passage of TARP ($700 Billion Bait n Switch) the earth would cease to revolve

and we’d be cast into eternal darkness.  We conned ourselves into believing we could and buy off the economic hit with the Congressional

ATM card.  The Euro meltdown is a red flag ….Take the Cuffs off Capitalism, Git Yer House in Order, Cuz your Payin' Back the Freight with

Interest.

              They're Seein' Red in Kennedy Country

                                              E. Anthony Santos (Tony)  FreedomsPilot.com  January 18, 2010

They're Seein' Red in Kennedy Country…. Democrats may find their Big 60 in the US Senate defeated by their own strategy employed in 2004 to strip then Republican Governor Mitt Romney’s power to appoint a Senatorial replacement,  mandating a special election.   A Democrat’s ascension to the “Lions Seat” was as certainty, as certain as Hillary Clinton’s coronation (as it were).   Democrats hoped no one noticed that in 2006 Universal Healthcare (Romney-Care) was mandated in Massachusetts. As with any government  bureaucracy, overruns are inherent.  Losses for Romney-care are projected at  $2 Billion dollars over 10 years.   Martha Coakley’s support for Obama Care in a state where it has been it has already been tried, and failed, only re-enforces the definition of insanity

      Afghanistan is Terrorist Free, “You can have religious freedom but you probably shouldn’t work in the emergency room”, former Red Sox Pitcher Curt Schilling is a Yankees Fan (a Cardinal sin in Red Sox Nation).   One could be forgiven to conclude Martha Coakley has had extensive coaching from Vice President Joe Biden. Republican Scott Brown has no doubt reaped the benefits of that advice.  Barack Obama’s 11th hour appearance to shore up to Martha Coakley campaign may be the catalyst to send Republican Scott Brown to the DC Temple of Wisdom.  For a Republican to be in a“Dead Heat “ for the Lion’s seat in Massachusetts, Democrats have to be deep in the political “Hurt Locker”

     Democratic Ops looking  for distance have been prepping for Coakley’s defeat citing the Massachusetts Top Cop’s  casual campaign effort.   Martha Coakley will take the heat but the responsibility for losing Ted Kennedy’s legacy seat lies with the Beltway Democrats, and the Obama White House.  The November 09 New Jersey, Virginia, and New York’s 23rd upsets and near misses couldn’t have sent a more clear message, yet Democrats have remained behind closed doors grinding out deals, bribes, and satisfying the Democratic Left’s political libido. 

     Massachusetts (R) State Senator Scott Brown win or lose will find himself in good company, he has made the Dem’s most wanted Republican’s list.  If elected, his vote on Obama Care will be kept out of his reach.  The inevitable political smears will be the least of his concerns.  Scott Brown’s political destruction will be a Moral Imperative.    The loss of Ted Kennedy’s seat, to Scott Brown signals the return of the seat to the “People”.  Politically unacceptable,  this could be contagious.... what then…

  Rahmmit Through:  Liberal Path to Permanent Power  E. Anthony Santos (Tony)  FreedomsPilot.com  Sept. 9, 2009

        Ten months of crisis, real and manufactured has left the U.S. Constitution with countless unchallenged tread marks. 

“Rahammit Through”, crisis deployment, … the Liberal path to permanent power  

          Political control of the Federal Government is often short lived, at best a few terms.  The  legacy of an 8 year Democratic Hat Trick

Salvaging Opportunity:

A Republic in Name Only

     The ink on the Constitution was barely dry when the Federal Government Power began to amass power. Today the dynamics of power has morphed beyond the Framers safeguards…..  Constitutional or States Rights issues are rarely a consideration.  Interests of the people are a distant 3^rd to party interest and group politics and special interest. The people have been reduced to a political quotient, the ability to vote, pay taxes, and party affiliation, fertile ground for ACORN. 

     In the last year the expanded power of government, buried in thousands of pages legislation Rahmmed through Congress has met exactly Zero Constitutional challenges. The Nationalization of major financial institutions, GM a wholly owned subsidiary of the Federal Government and the UAW,  Miranda / Constitutional rights extended to terrorists…. Zero Challenges.    Barack Obama’s “Shadow Cabinet” of 30 something Czars / Political Lieutenants affecting policy, regulation and control of energy, electronic communications medium, education, healthcare, immigration, census,  ad nauseum … Zero Constitutional Challenges.  This system has long since passed broke, passed corruption and corruption  legitimized by its members.

 

      News, facts and information powered by Conservative Media has empowered millions of Americans to research, organize and engage.  The task of restoring the Republic cannot wait, or be the burden of our children, the  return to Founding Principles,  and Limited Government. 

 The left have branded them right wing radicals, extremists, or racist.  The Founders would have called them Patriots.

   Porkulus the $4.5 Trillion Dollar Trojan Horse

                       E. Anthony Santos  (Tony)  FreedomsPilot.com  February 13, 2009

 

      Trying to wrap your arms around $800 Billion dollars of pent up liberal fantasies wrapped up in  1000+  pages no one  bothered to read before voting...?  The Democratic left is marking their territory.  Having captured the Whitehouse, and controlling interest of the DC Temple of Wisdom their mission is not restoring our  Pre-Housing Bubble prosperity , but rather the permanent control and reformation of the economy in their vision.  

    

       Porkulus is a Trojan Horse, a $780 Billion dollar placeholder to an accessible cache of  $4.5 TRILLION dollars.   Only fear and perception of an economic collapse could fund a bill of this magnitude. Porkulus  is the means to keep the fear alive for a bit longer.  The conservative remedy would be to cut the 2^nd highest corporate tax on the planet, cut or suspend capital gains, personal income tax, and let time and the free-market acclimate.   The Bush Tax cuts ending the Post 9/11 recession produced, sustained low unemployment, record treasury revenues , record GDP, an all time Dow High (14087 pts) just 16 months ago, all while fighting 2 wars with one arm tied behind his back.  The left would rather set themselves on fire, rather than yield control, or concede to a conservative principle.  The left has waited 15 long years to implement the Extreme American Makeover. 

    

     Barack Obama and the Shovel Ready leadership of the DC Temple of Wisdom, hammered together an $800 Billion dollar bill of Congressional door prizes in a matter of weeks. After much drama and political masturbation a bill of more than a thousand pages  passes (without being read) in the backdrop of Rep. Barney Frank’s Tarp Banker CEO Barbecue.   While Republicans, and constituents obsess over detail and execution, Porkulus it is providing Democrats cover to Acquire not borrow Trillions of dollars insuring their future control.

 

    China holds about $1.7 Trillion in US debt, and for the moment float the purchase of US Treasury Bonds (Porkulus),  Beijing is in need of paying for  it's own $600 Billion Stimulus program.  Market confidence and future funding options are fading.  Average Joe will soon learn the liberal meaning of personal responsibility, self sacrifice, and investing in America’s future.  In November 08 a Brief by the Economic Policy Institute outlined the benefits (Confiscation) of transferring the $4.5 Trillion dollars in existing 401k and IRA retirement programs into Federal Guaranteed Retirement (GRA) accounts.  Under this program, each participant will be awarded, zero tax benefits, a mandatory 5% contribution , with an annual yield of, (sittin down) ...3%.

 

     The Dow has lost 45+% since a high of 14807 pts in October 07 nearly 7000 pts, 2000 pts since Barack Obama’s  Grant Park Presidential acceptance speech.  The illusion of imminent economic collapse, Class Warfare, and fear are effective tools to establish  Government as the permanent solution.  Millions of Americans have shut down, stopped opening their retirement statements, waiting

for the economic recovery that will be delivered in the form of future dependence.  As the Dow continues to fall GRA conversions will be an alternative to total loss.  Incentives offered by the newly Nationalized  Congressional Bank and Anti-Trust  include, toasters,  steak knives or a  limited edition Barack Obama commemorative coin set with every 401k to Federal GRA account transferred.  With $4.5 Trillion dollars in their coffers, Porkulus will be rendered academic. Social Security will not have to operate on the Bernie Madoff payment plan.   All things Liberal are possible .

 

     Republic or Monarchy? "A republic if you can keep it"  (Benjamin Franklin 1706-1790)  The greatest danger we face is not the

failure of Capitalism,   but the shredding of  Principles of Freedoms afforded in the United States Constitution.  Remarkably in the course of the Porkulus drama  one would be hard pressed to cite a remote reference to the Constitution. 

 

                                                    The Empty Promise of Government
                                         E. Anthony Santos  (Tony)  FreedomsPilot.com  February 20, 2009

     Fear and Class Warfare were instrumental in  capturing the Whitehouse and controlling interest of the DC Temple of Wisdom, and the attempts to validate  Government is the only answer to this Crisis.   Fear is turning to anger, and resentment, the promise of hope and change, the "Empty Promise of Government
 
      Triggering the Global economic collapse was a calculated risk by the left.   Post 2006 elections the Democratic Left. despite Post 911 recession recovery, sustained low unemployment, a robust economy (Dow 14087 Pts October 2007) GDP off the charts, the Politization  and  Media Management,  of the Iraq war  all but guaranteed a Democratic Liberal Hat Trick in 2008.  The left was distanced from their prize by a Ironically a Warrior, General David Petraeus.   Victory in Iraq would render Democrat's impotent.
Their prize required a new strategy, a new crisis.  Insidious legislation restricting use and harvest of our own energy stores based on  of Junk Science, doubling energy costs, reduced productivity, while effective would not guarantee 2008 victory .

June 2008 :  Senator Chuck Schumer D-NY Senior member Senate banking committee releases a letter to the press  (dated June 26, 2008) communicating to OTC and FDIC "concerned that IndyMac's financial deterioration poses significant risks to both taxpayers and borrowers," and that IndyMac "could face a failure if prescriptive measures are not taken quickly."   An 11 day  bank run, panic

($100+ Million dollar /Day)  $1.3 Billion dollars forces IndyMac Into receivership.   The subsequent failures of 25 US Bank ($373.6 Billion in assets) , AIG, Fannie/Freddie, ad nauseum, triggers a Global Recession. 

 

     In their arrogance the Democratic left never considered this magnitude of Collateral Damage.   TARP I delivered squandered funds, the Promise of Porkulus, an endless stream of congressional doorprizes, $75 Billion for mortgage Bailouts while employing the same practices that created the Housing Bubble,  and new proposals for Porkulus II, only affirms Government is not the answer to the crisis but is the answer to Government's control.    Fear is now being displaced by anger and resentment, anger by those who have been true to their responsibilities, those who after years of hard work, and perhaps achieve some measure of success in a few short months had their futures reduced to  the "Empty Promise of Government".  

 

     The intended delivery from this crisis is not restoring the prosperity of America, but economic reformation and control.  The

 promise left by the Founders , the Constitution of the United States is the only promise as a nation we will ever need.  

                  Hearts and Minds the Art of Liberal Class Warfare

                             E. Anthony Santos   November 12, 2008  FreedomsPilot.com

 

         A failing economy, on the oppositions watch, is fertile ground to launch a “Class Warfare” campaign to win the hearts and minds

 of millions of registered and unregistered voters.  Demonize wealth and achievement, exacerbate the desperate state of the world,

 and assume the role of Benevolent Protector of your conscripts, exacting control, justice, and retribution thru taxation and

consumption of wealth.  Loyalty will be yours, least till they become cold and hungry.  

 

          At the risk of crediting Liberals with a superior understanding and compassion of those in suffering, we should note it was their

 efforts that engineered the 2008 Global Crash of the market, the loss of trillions of dollars, record business failures, 6 ½%

 unemployment, and energy costs that have helped fill the war chests of our enemies.

         A Democratic White House, Congressional, and Judicial control, is just the starting lineup for the long term control they expect to

 wield.  Millions of “Class Warfare” conscripts, convinced trickle down wealth, a home, healthcare, and cable TV are Constitutional

 birthrights, chose to become “Wards of the State”.  The Democratic party is the new party of deliverance.  Soon, all will be made right,

 all will be forgiven, and the planets will once again be in alignment.

 

    “The new socialist revolution is really just capitalism for dummies: they don’t have to know how to make business work, they just

have to usurp power over it and then blame it on the executives when the business inevitably fails; they take other peoples’ money and

 become worshiped for spending it; they raise taxes on the wealthy by calling them names and never thank them for their already

 great contributions, and they won’t cut a tax in fear of never getting it back, considering it money lost.”

Saul Alinsky “Capitalism for Dummies”

     It would warm the heart of Ol’ Saul (post mortem), also a community organizer from Chicago, the Alinsky Alumni, are actively

 exercising his prescription for government mal-practice.    With the impending bailout of US Automakers ,   Congressional Bank and

Anti-Trust will soon become a full service nationalized institution.  Guaranteed financing, mandatory GRA accounts, carbon debit

cards, foreclosure insurance and, the latest in “Gerbil Powered” transportation from Detroit.  No credit, no job, no problem exciting

Government servitude opportunities in Civilian Security Forces, or Community organization awaits all that qualify.   

    With the exception of war there is no greater influence affecting the economy and the global markets than political leadership and

 agenda.   Election Day , posted the largest election day rally, + 305 points.   In response to democratic victories in the houses of

 Obama, Pelosi, and Reid, the market posted a 2 day loss of  -929 points, predictable sell-offs, but the value of the market is secondary

 to   Democratic control.  In mere weeks key elements of the economy have been nationalized, and omnipotence has been granted to

 the Treasury Secretary.   Soon the democratic left, will be advancing  Ol’ Saul’s vision with little in the way of obstacles. Control of

 capitalism and the markets as we know it is an illusion.  Capitalism as we know it is not in the vision of the democratic extreme

 makeover of America.  The newly drafted democratic rank and file will soon understand the meaning of democratic investment,

 sacrifice, and service.   Barack Obama may want to break the gas and mortgage payment news to Peggy Joseph personally.

     Republicans should not have any illusions about a 2010 return to Constitutional balance having reached across the aisle while

 abandoning conservative principles. Notwithstanding the advent of a second Depression or War, republicans who have chosen

 expedience over conservative principal, will defect or be shown the door.  58 million Americans have chosen to not compromise their

 freedoms.  Among them a generation of young conservatives, many of them “Rush Babies” with a commitment to the Founders vision

 of freedom, limited government, and the Constitution.  These young conservatives and the Rising stars of the GOP with their own

 brand of leadership will restore the Founder’s vision, and a return of the Republic.  A Republic, if you can keep it.

                                                                                                                                                            (Benjamin Franklin 1706-1790)
