Saving $500 Billion?

March 6th 2010 22:09

President Barack Hussein Obama claimed that he could save half a trillion dollars on Medicare. But Medicare is only one government program. In his 2011 budget Obama dealt with dozens if not hundreds of government programs. If he really is so good at ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse then surely there would be a multiplier effect when dealing with the whole budget. In fact, if Obama can really save $500 Billion on one program he should have been able to save over a $1 trillion on the federal budget as a whole so why didn’t he? Why was Obama’s 2011 budget $1.2 trillion in the red? Where did that deficit come from?

Perhaps there was no waste, fraud or abuse in the rest of the government. In fact, maybe Obama inherited from George Bush a federal bureaucracy that was so sound that it runs like a Swiss watch with 100% efficiency. In fact since, after a year of looking, Obama could find no waste, fraud or abuse in the non-Medicare part of the budget one wonders why we needed Obama or that much ballyhooed change at all. Surely a third installment of that movie Revenge of the Shrubbery: When Bushes Attack starring John McCain would have done just as well as Obama. That is, if there was no waste, fraud or abuse that Obama could find and cut out of the entire government apparatus. After all, George Bush ran the government for 8 years, surely he left some shoddy workmanship somewhere in federal government.

Makes you wonder if that $500 Billion that Obama claims he could save is vaporware, smoke and mirrors, illusory.

We have had a fair, self-administered test that tells us all we need to know about whether President Barack Hussein Obama can find and reduce the waste, fraud and abuse in Medicare that he claims. We know all we need to know about how good Obama would be in balancing competing interests, reducing costs and taking on one sixth of the American economy

Just like ObamaCare the Post Office is talking about rationing service. And just like ObamaCare the Post Office has death panels. Saturday mail delivery is scheduled to die any day now

Looks like Ron Paul just won a straw CPAC poll. He beat the likes of Mitt Romney in the Conservative Political Action Conference Poll

There are those who fear we are so over medicating the children that we are producing monsters like that guy who just shot people at the Pentagon.

It is interesting to see some support for better living through chemistry. I am not sold yet--but is is intriguing.

I still can't help but remember a certain admittedly burned out old druggie who confessed on his radio program that he had found a legal way to get high with the government's blessing. All he had to do was to go to his doctor and say he was depressed....

on Riskiest sovereign debt

March 6th 2010 22:19
Sovereign debt is a relatively new term to me. When it comes to economic collapse, the hits just keep on coming. What is particularly galling is that the financial geniuses who got their countries and companies in such trouble are still lecturing the masses today about what we are doing wrong. Throw all the bums out in every country and ban borrowing to speculate. No more blue sky on the credit plan. No government nor public pension should ever invest in thing but government bonds. No more betting the house on some dude who has no intention on paying his mortgage.

on Obama Lied Again on NASA

February 21st 2010 20:57
Yes Chairman Hussein lied. All politicians do. But I have to part company with you here and possibly Chairman Hussein.

I would like to end all manned space flight for the rest of our lives and possibly 100 to 1000 years in the future. All exploration should be done by robots. Robots should also terraform the moon, Mars and possibly a few outposts in the Asteroids. In a hundred to a thousand years or so, when it's ultra cushy and ultra safe, then ship our over crowded excess into space whenever we like.

Send out herds of self replicating robots to make the universe safe for us and bring back the wealth to earth!



Those who disagree with this proposition have the following homework: Calculate in detail the cost of man rating a rocket (making it safe for squishy, fragile things like us) and robot rating a rocket.

If you are into the science and not the science fiction, the math alone with convince you.
