Obama is Lowering Our Standard of Living

The Obama administration’s goal has been and still is to plunge America to a standard of living on par with Third World nations. Prior to the spill in the Gulf it took two weeks to process applications to drill new wells. Since the spill 5 requests have been waiting for three to nine months. He is using any excuse to raise the price of oil so that fewer and fewer people can afford to drive their vehicles, strangle the air transportation industry, make it more and more expensive to transport goods across the country, endanger supplies and their transport to our troops, and generally weaken our national security.

At a time when the oil providing nations are in political turmoil and the world oil supplies are in danger, we should be drilling and exploiting our own energy sources. We need more sites pumping oil, more refineries, more nuclear plants, and reduced restrictions on producing reusable energy sources.

The solution is private enterprise not government mismanagement, waste, and corruption. The American entrepreneur and worker, if left alone with less government interference, can make this nation strong, powerful, and respected again. Now is the time for action. We need to make some changes in Congress and the Administration.

There is a New Bailout on the Horizon

If I go to Galpin Ford (Ford is the only private US car manufacturer left) to buy a new car, the government will use your credit card to add $4,500.00 to my down payment. All I have to do is find an older car and turn it in as a “clunker” to be destroyed.

To do this one has to go on a government website to declare it. Just now on the Glen Beck program; if you click “accept” on the “privacy” button when on the government clunker program you agree to the following (I am paraphrasing), that since you have accessed a government computer your computer and all current and future data on it is the property of the Federal Government and as such the government has a right to its content.

Not only is the government spending taxpayers money, of witch there is none (that’s where the credit card comes in), it is encouraging people to get further into debt, since the balance of the price will be a bank loan. Remember what happened when the government encouraged people to get further into debt by buying houses they could not afford? We had a mortgage meltdown and the banks got bailed out with taxpayer money. I see people defaulting on car loans and banks begging the government for a new bailout and we get more socialism.
