<p>This sounds like the wild, wild west. Having the police &#8216;sponsored&#8217; by business or individuals sounds like &#8220;Guns for Hire&#8221;.<br />
Who will the &#8220;police&#8221; serve? The People? The Town/County/State?<br />
OR, their benefactors?<br />
Let&#8217;s just take a &#8216;for instance&#8217;.<br />
If a drug lord were to &#8220;sponsor&#8221; a police department with a LARGE sum of money, will that department necessarily &#8216;ignore&#8217;<br />
the large shipments of Heroine entering the city?</p>
<p>How about Illegal Alien Trafficking? Could ignorance to that be &#8216;bought off&#8217;?</p>
<p>If they get large donations from many different &#8216;street gangs&#8217; would they start to play favorites based on<br />
the volume of money coming in?</p>
<p>This is a BAD idea. Even if it were to stay as only an idea, those who thought of if should be thrown in<br />
jail. If it were to be enacted, well, Heaven help The People.</p>

<p>In my opinion this is the most backward action to take.<br />
All activity on the front lines can lead to death or disfigurement.<br />
A civil society cannot exist if we are willing to sacrifice our women to the battle field<br />
where capture, torture, and death is likely. </p>
<p>From my point of view, when a man dies, a man dies<br />
When a women dies, countless generations fall.<br />
It just does not make any sense to me why we would put women<br />
in harms way, on purpose. This thought is ludicrous and irresponsible.</p>
<p>Even our very distant ancestors knew, that unless death of the tribe were<br />
imminent, one did not sacrifice those that carry and give life.</p>
<p>This is a sad, sad day for humanity.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once again, Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell and the Obama Republicans in the House<br />
and Senate, have driven us over another hurdle to Total Systemic Failure.<br />
Well, we lost that battle, and we must once again draw a line in the sand.</p>
<p>I propose that we start pushing our congress&#8217;People&#8217; to start reforming<br />
the voting process. Voter ID Now (VIN).</p>
<p>We have admission by the courts and the left that that there should be some<br />
sort of Voter ID. The last election, we were right on the cusp of success,<br />
but time was against us. We were told that it was too late to implement any<br />
new infrastructure.</p>
<p>WELL!? We have two years!<br />
Let&#8217;s get it done! Let&#8217;s get it done NOW.</p>
<p>VIN for the entire U.S. Voting public. If a person cannot afford the $15 or so<br />
that a municipality will charge, we can just tack it onto one of the 100 or<br />
so welfare programs we have.<br />
If a person cannot get to a location to get the I.D., we can go to them.<br />
It is a small price to pay, (much smaller than unemployment, food stamps,<br />
farm subsidies, Sugar tax, Green Energy, etc, etc, etc)</p>
<p>So, Let Us get this thing started so we can get it done by Nov. 2014.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I live on Long Island, N.Y.<br />
Yesterday we were hit with a nor&#8217;easter which brought wind, rain, snow and cold.<br />
As I was returning to my home, I saw and thanked profusely a lineman repairing the<br />
power lines to my block. He was from a middle western state. He was up in the bucket,<br />
in the wind, rain/snow, and cold, repairing the power lines so the dozen or so people<br />
on my block, who he doesn&#8217;t know and owes no allegiance to, could have power.</p>
<p>The same day, as we find out this morning, the FEMA rescue centers in New York were<br />
&#8216;Closed, due to the weather&#8217;. This, folks is an indoor assistance center. What&#8217;s up<br />
with that?!</p>
<p>Anyway, this is a stark view of Government VS. Private Sector help and dedication.<br />
Government does what they do, with our money on THEIR terms.<br />
Private Sector does with their money on OUR terms.</p>
<p>I pray every night for my children that they may experience a life as free and<br />
rewarding as I had.<br />
BUT, when I see this, reality strikes with a hard fist. All I can do is hope that<br />
the tools I gave them, my education and morals, and any financial assistance in my<br />
power, will ease the toil which they are about to experience.</p>

He is conducting the band, and our numskull candidates are dancing happily along, thinking that they will be selected &#8220;King and Queen&#8221; of the prom.</p>
<p>WE NEED to talk about the real problems of the U.S. to the REAL economy drivers, the young and the middle class worker.</p>
<p>Please, please, Gov. Romney, if you care at all about this country, get OFF the Medicare Merry-Go-Round!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Time Bomb? Banks Pressured to Buy Government Debt<br />
(http://www.cnbc.com/id/47633576)</em></p>
<p>The impetus behind the government&#8217;s proposal to create a<br />
&#8216;Guaranteed Retirement Account&#8217; for all Americans is the<br />
need/desire to get their greedy little hands on the $18 Trillion<br />
That Americans have in Stocks, IRA&#8217;s, 401K&#8217;s, Pensions, and savings.<br />
That money, The Government believes, is really theirs. They<br />
just don&#8217;t know how to get at it.</p>
<p>Well, thanks to some &#8216;slight of hand&#8217;, it appears that they have<br />
come up with a simple, non-law, end-around, Constitution avoiding<br />
plan to get at it.<br />
They are suggesting that the Banks buy The Government Debt, in<br />
return for an IOU, to be paid back some time in the future, with<br />
some (most likely fake) interest on principal.</p>
<p>The BANKS own everything. Your salary, your job, your investments,<br />
your property, in effect, your person. Because, the economy is<br />
money, and the banks control the flow of money. AND now the Banks will<br />
be converting some of that money from private ownership to Government<br />
debt.</p>
<p>Guaranteed Retirement Accounts were too specific. The Government is<br />
going, directly, after the people and ALL of their private property.</p>
<p>They are also laying down a long term plan for private business (Banks)<br />
takeover. When the Government BOND debt reaches a certain percentage of<br />
the overall holdings of the BANK, they will be deemed unstable. At that<br />
point, as we have seen recently, The Government WILL declare the bank<br />
unfit for business, and they will shut it down or take it over.</p>
<p>This is NOT a good plan, for the people, the banks or the county. We MUST,<br />
in this election cycle, extract all progressive players (Dems AND Repubs)<br />
from office. Sweep clean The House, The Senate and The President.</p>

The questioning was to identify that a mandate on other issues,<br />
Cars, Cell Phones, Food IS unconstitutional.</p>
<p>Add this to the expected outcome of today&#8217;s presentations of Severability,<br />
which most likely will stand as All or Nothing, and you will find<br />
the answer is clear.</p>
<p>The Supreme Justices will, as a majority, declare that, with respect<br />
to Health Care, the mandate is allowable by The Constitution, and<br />
ObamaCare will stand as is.<br />
They will also present the opinion that in no other aspects of Governing<br />
the minions of the U.S. of A., is The Government allowed to demand<br />
entrance into commerce just because a person exists.</p>

&#8220;People Who Receive that Unemployment Check Go Out and Spend It and Help Stimulate the Economy&#8221;</p>
<p>http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/valerie-jarrett-people-who-receive-unemployment-check-go-out-and-spend-it-and-help-stimulate-economy_631716.html</p>
<p>This is a totally absurd thought. Take this to a logical example. If a 3rd party, say a government, extorts a dollar from me, since I am a worker who own my own business. Let&#8217;s say I make pizza, and sell it for a dollar.<br />
So the government takes a dollar from me and gives it to someone who is not working because, well, they aren&#8217;t working.<br />
OK, so now that person spends it at my pizza shop to by a large cheese pizza.</p>
<p>According to V. Jarrett, that is stimulating the economy.<br />
According to my accountant, I just sold a large cheese pizza for zero dollars.<br />
My profit, zero. Which means that I must now either raise the cost of my pizza and risk going out of business<br />
OR<br />
I can just go out of business.<br />
So now, instead of a pizza shop employing workers, accountants, energy suppliers, delivery trucks, and suppliers of raw materials,<br />
I am on unemployment asking for that dollar to buy a pizza for a dollar.</p>
<p>And the people I employed and the suppliers all feel the pinch.</p>
<p>So to say that the theft of a dollar is stimulating is Ignorance in it&#8217;s most basic format.</p>
<p>Perhaps all government employees and elected officials should be compelled to read<br />
&#8216;Economics in One Lesson&#8217;. Originally written in the &#8217;40s it is amazingly relevant today.</p>
