In many of America’s real estate markets homes, once the primary facilitator of middle class American retirement, are worth on the average about 67 pennies of what they were five years ago.

The American currency…our once powerful dollar…is now worth pennies of its former value and the erosion shows little sign of abatement as gold and silver continue their march toward record per ounce prices.

Under the new Federal Budget, each American man, woman, boy and girl will be saddled with 4,000,000 pennies of personal and, although owed to the IRS, uncollectable debt ($40,000 each). That is $200,000 for a family of four! Does this make cents to you?

Our Mount Everest of debt has now empowered and installed Communist China and a handful of other anti-democracy nations as the current economic caretakers and ultimate beneficiaries of your and my labor, creativity and ingenuity for as far as we can see into the future. I don’t recall signing-on to work for Mao’s legacy.

Household net worth is now about 52 pennies per dollar of what it was a scant five years ago. Indeed, this is chump change we can believe and the reality of our now everyday existence. Projections of future declines seem to indicate that, if left unchecked, the Federal government, yours and mine, will drive our worth to below 50 pennies of what it used to be.

The ability of small business owners and entrepreneurs to access the pennies they need to build, sustain and grow their business and thus, create jobs has dried up with only the most pristine and perfect borrowers being granted access to capital…except, of course, the Federal Government who continues to borrow from us.

The fastest growing employer in today’s economy is government. Employees of the government are seeing their wages growing at a record pace. The best paying jobs are no longer in the private sector but the government.

The budget submitted by President Barack Obama will catapult our debt into the farthest reaches of the stratosphere to numbers so beyond the pale that typical American life as we know it may be changed for the worse for as much as two generations into the future.

Pinching pennies is our new reality and the remaining few quarters, dimes, nickels and Lincoln pennies are even themselves in the crosshairs of an over-arching, out of control bureaucracy and answer-to-no-one government.

This is truly “change” we can believe. More importantly it is change we can change. Please be reminded by iVoteAmerica that the next Presidential election is 1,003 days from today and the midterms are in November, 2010…let’s hold on to what copper we have left until then.

I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he’s led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some group took a look at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.

In a very real way, he has been a young man in a very big hurry. Who else do you know has written two memoirs before the age of 45? “Dreams of My Father” was published in 1995 when he was only 34 years old. The “Audacity of Hope” followed in 2006. If, indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who think that his mentor and friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a “communist with a small ‘c’” was the real author.

His political skills consisted of rarely voting on anything that might be deemed controversial. He went from a legislator in the Illinois legislature to the Senator from that state because he had the good fortune of having Mayor Daley’s formidable political machine at his disposal.

iVoteAmerica Editorial – Alert

The national momentum toward social solutions has placed all Americans who value self-governance in jeopardy of elimination.

Stamping out dissent (including marginalization, ridicule and negative characterizations of dissenters), followed by secrecy and speed of implementation of law and policy are the necessary requisites for a new government hell bent on the implementation of a national socialist operating model.

Welcome to the neo-Orwellian America, where government brings solutions in the form of law to nearly every aspect of life as we have know it; where nearly every action is carefully monitored and every indulgence taxed by the codification of acceptable behavior.

iVoteAmerica believes we are in the crosshairs of a new socialist order and the government is slowing squeezing the trigger that will send a deadly bullet toward the very head of our liberty.

We have never wanted to call the President of the United States and his puppet legislators “Socialists,” but now we must. Yes, we realize that in so doing we have crossed the line of political correctness. However, truth must drive the actions of free men and women in their assessments of a government that no longer acknowledges its fiduciary to the electorate.

As this post is penned (uh, typed), your national leadership has the crosshairs positioned. All that remains is to squeeze and let the deadly bullet of socialism find its mark on the head of America’s cherished liberties. The bullet can still be dodged or, better yet, we can still wrest the weapon of destruction of the hands of the body-elect and disempower them before they implement policies that will be nearly impossible to undo during our lifetime.

Think on these matters.

It has finally dawned on me why President Obama and the Democrats in control of the Congress rushed to pass an unread “stimulus” bill “redistributing” billions of taxpayer dollars, have been voting bills out of committee to “reform” our national healthcare system, and another to impose a huge tax on all energy use.

They don’t care.

They don’t care that the polls clearly demonstrate that the majority of Americans oppose these and other initiatives.

They don’t care that the time-tested and time-proven way out of a recession is to cut taxes.

They don’t care that a similar healthcare program in Massachusetts did not reduce costs, that funding was slashed, and that rationing began.

They don’t care that there is absolutely no need for a bill to regulate carbon dioxide in order to “stop global warming” and that it is a huge tax increase on all Americans at a time when the Earth has been cooling for the last ten years.

They don’t care.

These are people like David Axelrod, the President’s advisor, who dismissed the hundreds of thousands of people who came to Washington, D.C. on September 12th to protest, saying, “They’re wrong.”

It is obvious that President Obama doesn’t care.

There is a complete disconnect between what he says and what he does. One could prepare a very long list of promises and statements made during his campaign and since his inauguration that reveal an astounding and frightening level of daily mendacity.

As for Congress, the rush to pass legislation such as healthcare reform that had been examined during the Clinton years—and rejected—is the single greatest indicator of how bad the outcome of this “new” effort will be. This is a bill being put together out of sight of the public because, if they knew its provisions, they would lay siege to Congress to stop it. Indeed, they already have. It won’t even be posted on the Internet for public review.

They don’t care.

It’s the same attitude that was demonstrated by the Nobel Prize committee that awarded Obama its Peace Prize barely two weeks after he was inaugurated, announcing it to a stunned world months later when it was apparent to everyone that he had done nothing to earn what was formerly one of the highest international accolades.

They don’t care.

The systematic efforts to extend control over all the land and all the waters of the United States through government agencies such as the EPA, the Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Corp of Engineers runs counter to the Constitutional Amendment protecting the sacredness of private property.

They don’t care.

It is increasingly evident that President Obama may, in fact, not be a natural born citizen of the United States as required by the Constitution to hold the office. Far too many essential documents have been withheld from public review to not legitimately question this fundamental issue of legal authority. A Democrat Congress will not take this up, but the courts must.

I am reminded that the Declaration of Independence was a long list of grievances set forth by Thomas Jefferson who wrote “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them (the People) under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to provide such new guards for their future security.”

Barring a complete change of power in Congress in next year’s midterm elections, it
is beginning to look like a new Declaration will have to be written as this administration and this Congress continue to run roughshod over the will of the People to bring about their enslavement and the destruction of the nation.

They don’t care!
