ACORN and the POOR

Let me repeat myself… I didn’t see anywhere in the constitution where it says that America is obligated to buy everyone a house.  Our Constitution does not read:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, [Don’t forget… give every damn person in this country a house whether they can afford it or not] do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Now, I can understand helping families out who have fallen into foreclosure.  I can understand helping families who had the economy go sour on them.  I can understand helping families who are in a pinch.  I would desire help if it were me.

I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND giving a home to someone who does bring in a paycheck but wants to live in a $100,000 to $200,000 home.   Or someone who makes $1,000 a month having a $1,500 mortgage.  And me having to foot the bill for it.  

Even worse, I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND if the government bails everyone out, why ACORN all of a sudden rises to the top as an entity most entitled to receive a boost rather than giving the AMERICAN TAX PAYER A BREAK WHEN THEY PAID FOR THE FUNDAMENTALLY MORALLY WRONG BAILOUT TO BEGIN WITH!  Why would congress even consider making the problem worse… has a politician ever heard of paying off their debts?  Instead they have to give, give, and give.  There is a point in which your house, your country, your fiscal responsibility is MORE IMPORTANT than someone getting a killer deal on a house. 

Again the constitution DOES NOT READ:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, [Don’t forget… give every damn person in this country a house whether they can afford it or not] do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Leave being poor out of it.  It has nothing to do with being poor.  It has to do with buying what you can afford and living within your means.

You shouldn’t be able to walk into Wal-Mart and just take things because you are poor.  You shouldn’t be able to just walk up to a car lot and take a car, the constitution doesn’t promise you one because everyone else has one.  You aren’t due one because hard times you went through, no one should be forced to buy you one because you are less fortunate.   Have people had to walk before? YES.  Are their other more affordable housing options for people who can’t afford a home?  YES!  They could buy a condo, rend an apartment, buy a prefabricated home, or buy a camper.  There are more options than just buying a house.   Other options are financially more within the reach of some people.

Now, if someone gives to the poor.  God bless them.   Should I have the right to decide if I want to be charitable? Yes.  Should I have the right to not give to those who choose not to work and improve their circumstance? Yes.  Do I have the right to decide who I desire to give to? YES.  Does the government have the right to make me pay for everyone else so there is EQULITY and so everything is FAIR?  NO!

This really seems like a fiber of the fairness doctrine. 

1 trillion dollar loss!

Wow… a 1 Trillion dollar loss.  That is what everyone was dealt by trying to push through BAD legislation.  CNN Said:

The day’s loss in the United States knocked out approximately $1.2 trillion in market value, the first $1 trillion-plus day ever, based on the change in the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000, the broadest measure of the U.S. stock market.

What really happened at the White House?

Do you want to read about what really happened the other day at the white house?

I was really surprised to hear right after the meeting on all the news channels that McCain screwed the whole thing up. He wasn’t willing to make concessions that would allow it to go forward and was hindering progress. He should have never come to Washington.

Anyhow, Rush Limbaugh was equally perplexed by the meeting and called a friend to find out what really happened. Read the story here.

In summary, Paulsen, Reed and Pelosi deferred to Obama (so he could look presidential) and the first thing he did was start ripping the Republicans for presenting a second plan [option]. Don’t forget the Treasury Secretary [Paulsen] was the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and a Democrat. Story short, Obama’s lack of ability to negotiate ruined the entire meeting and the attacks on the news were damage control to make it look like McCains fault.

Again, don’t believe everything you hear on TV.

You later hear Obama say that he has done better when people keep him in the loop over the phone. (That’s because he sucks at being in charge in person.)
