Easy fix David. Let's get everybody in the private sector to quit immediately and go to their local federal handout office. It would be worth it just to see their reaction when we private workers tell the government workers that their money well just dried up, but we'd still like some of that gubment stimlis please. We would stop paying mortgages, taxes, anything to do with government or banks. We would withdraw all of our savings and retirements and shut that industry down.

We'll all be willing to go back to work only when they get rid of public sector unions, eliminate ALL unnecessary government offices,and eliminate the income tax and eliminate all entitlements. Throw in a presidential impeachment while you're at it.

Wouldn't it be wonderful? A country wide private worker strike. If we can't do that, then what are we talking about? The only power we have is economic (70% of the economy?) and we don't wield it because we are not united, and because we are scared to do something radical.

At least you'll get to keep writing about how the sheep are getting sheared again next week.

LOL! What a great comparison - Alfred E Obama! He even looks like him a little, don't you think??

If he launched such a good economic recovery, why doesn't he recite the list of things he's done? HA! He can't, because he didn't do any such thing.

"Obama is also touting his promise to halve the federal deficit by 2013 and saying he means it." So, you think we can believe him this time? Didn't he mean it when he said he'd bring troops home? didn't he mean it when he said he would shut down Gitmo? Nah, not those times, but this time he really means it.

And those people whose bluff he's gonna call next year? I bet they're shaking in their boots.

And he'll "present some difficult choices"??? Choices, being the key word here, is not something he's given anyone. There have been no 'choices', only executive orders, commands from the throne, if you will.

But maybe, he really means it this time, ya think??

Why are we still giving Obuma a pass by calling him stupid? It's plain to many of us by now that this Communist Marxist president is deliberately bankrupting our nation. Just look at the people behind him pulling the strings, Alinsky, Soros,

and a host of reprobate America haters. The Communist Manifesto works, folks, and it is rapidly destroying us from within exactly according to plan. We are the stupid ones for not impeaching the Obamination Express yesterday.

obama and congress don't have to worry about a complete economic collapse of the US. They have their position and millions of $$ to support them while the rest of us starve. They will never feel the impact the way Mr. and Ms. Everyday will feel it. And we will still be paying for their protection, travel, housing, transportation, pop-tarts, and every thing else.

Time to eliminate the income tax in favor of a 15% national sales tax to be spread thusly: 2% for County, 1% for City, 2% for school district, 5% for state, and 10% for federal government, half of which MUST go to DoD; and SS tax on 100% of all income other than SS payments and Veterans Disability payments. Those two are EARNED the hard way.

With a little bit of serious thought, that national sales tax should be lowered to 12% within 3 years and to 10% within 5 years. Government will have more money than they do now, everybody will be part of the process (a 99% reduction in underground economies), and workers will be keeping more of the money they earn and invest.

The right man to deport is Barry Soetoro.

I second the motion.

The man from the "Land of Lincoln", is a hate filled ideolog, who has never admitted to making a mistake in a life, obviously spent blaming others for his miscues. Obama spent his formative years, at the feet, of violent, anti-American, Communists, absorbing their leftist venom, and is diluted to such a point, that I do not think him capable of independent thought, opting for a consensus, from his over-educated, like-minded cronies(Czars). In Canada, at the G-20, he was a source of derision, and embarrassment, but, you gotta admit, he can sure read a teleprompter!...Dan Dayton

I concur with alaskat, we are the sucka's big time economic collapse of our democratic society is vital for

OBAMA to turn our country directly into a socialist and/or communist society dependant on the GOV for everything!even our weekly toilet paper allocations!

Gotta post in with Alaskat n Gordie here!

David! You hit the nail on the head as a rule but with this article you get a big bloody thumb!

OK, we don't want to lose our sense of humor and there ARE instances of incredible stupidity coming out of the gang on a daily basis, but there's nothing funny about the Communist plans to destroy this country that are now operating in high gear.

And there's nothing stupid about the endless con jobs they're using to suck this economy dry.

Pete - I'm with you 100% on a national sales tax to REPLACE the income tax (NOT a VAT scam.) It should have been in place years ago.

Marcus - I agree, we should all quit. My husband and I own a small parcel of land where we can be almost entirely self-sufficient. As soon as possible, we plan to "retire" there. That's two more wage earners/tax payers who won't be footing the bill for Washington and the Entitlement leeches. If enough of us could/would leave, we'd crash their whole idiotic system.

No disagreement with any post here. One exception; we, the People, somehow, need to remove this man from the White House! Whatever his beliefs, his actions are anti-Republic, pro-Democracy (read totalitarian)and he is a serious threat to the continuance of the Republic of the United States of America! Now!

@Marcus

We would withdraw all of our savings and retirements and shut that industry down.

Good luck with that Marcus. The banks don't have your money. They have a tenth of it. The other's out in loans.
