American’s need to Unite and wake up!
The Media died long ago.

CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS are not only ignoring the facts that our nation faces, but are deliberately hiding the truth.

Where were they when the truth about Van Jones came out? He was a self avowed communist appointed by Obama, and paid for by you and me. His intent was to “change” America into a “new” society. His plan was only thwarted by Glen Beck, who was first to expose Jonses completely radical past. The irresponsible State Controlled mass media was too busy trying to push through agenda items of Obama, to report the truth.

Then, eleven Acorn employees were arrested for voter fraud. Now, investigations are underway (which include the Mrs. Napolitano) into fraud, tax evasion, child endangerment and the list goes on.

Hello…state run, liberal media….where are you?

And, where are our representatives and Senators, calling for an inquiry in Acorn, and it’s affiliations? It is not surprising they turn a blind eye, but truly sad. They are all in bed with the CORRUPTION that was evident in Van Jones, Acorn, and our sitting President.

Just an example: The Stimulus bill, which was promised to not include any pork projects …which actually gave a heaping pile to the deceitful group…Acorn.

Is the President teaching the media or vice versa?

Either way, Americans lose.

GOODBYE Network News

Is this the CHANGE you wanted?

Doubling the US debt in 7 months

More than 18 Trillion Defecit

Longer War

1 Trillion Pork Filled stimulus bill which rewards Special Interests

Un-appointed, Un-vetted Czar’s

Tax Cheat (Geitner) in charge of our Economy

Presidential affiliations with criminals like Ayers, Wright, Resco, Acorn, Jones, Sunstein…..

Government grab of 1/6th of economy with new Health Care reform

Penalties for people who don’t have insurance

Obama-Motors

Obama owned AIG

Obama’s Fannie and Freddie

Gvt. Takeover of Banks

Cash for Clunkers-which left dealers holding the bag

Change...Yes...for the worse...

If:
We take out illegals...and...
Those making more than Seventy-Five thousand dollars a year
...and...Those thirty somethings who chose not to pay for insurance...
What realisitic number of American’s are we looking at who can not afford, but need health care?
About five percent of American Citizens

Then:
What Obama wants to do is expand his redistributive philosophy; harming 95% to help 5%.

Obama needs to open his eyes. The preponderance of American’s do not want the government in charge of 1/6th of the Economy.

We do not want them knee deep in our personal medical histories. The majority of us hard working American’s do not want goverment to change our way of life.

We do want a government by the people and for the people. This philosophy being cared for from cradle to grave is what we do not want, and what has killed other societies, and will destroy our way of life and the true hope we have for a prosperous and free future.

Cease and Desist

I hear by ask for you to cease and desist from indoctrinating my child from a viewpoint which is both utilitarian and socially and ethically controlling.

You may have been able to fool half of the drooling and uneducated, but will not be allowed to take the innocent mind of my child and pollute it with your communistic and Marxism ideas. Your self absorbed aggrandizing has made your head so big that it has crowded out your grey matter.

Obama…you are not a doctor…stay out of my healthcare
…you are not a teacher…stay out of my classroom
…you are not a Dictiator…or are you?

REMEMBER WHO DID THIS

A great email I received today:


just remember who did this......


Franklin Delano. Roosevelt

32nd. President, Democrat

Terms of Office March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945


Our Social Security

Franklin Delano. Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced Social Security (FICA) Program. He Promised:


1.) That participation in the Program would be Completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from Their income for tax purposes each year,

4.) That the money the participants put into the Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would Only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to 'Put Away' -- you may be interested in the following:

----------THEN---------------------------------------------------


Dwight David Eisenhower

34th. President, Republican,

Term Of Office: January 20, 1953 to January 20, 1961

If I recall correctly, 1958 is the first year that Congress, not President Eisenhower, voted to remove funds from Social Security and put it into the General Fund for Congress to spend.

If I recall correctly, it was a

democratically controlled Congress.

From what I understand, Congress' logic at that time was that there was so much money in Social Security Fund that it would never run out / be used up for the purpose it was intended / set aside for.

-------------WORSE STILL------------------------------------------------


Lyndon Baines Johnson 36th. President,Democrat

Term Of Office: November 22, 1963 to January 20, 1969
Question: Which Political Party took Social Security from the Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the General Fund so that Congress could spend it?


Answer: It was Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat, Term of Office: November 22,1963 to January 20, 1969) and the Democratically controlled House and Senate.

IMMIGRANTS MOVED INTO THIS COUNTRY AND AT AGE 65, BEGAN TO RECEIVE SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS:

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTYGAVE THESE PAYMENTS TO THEM…..EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER

PAID A DIME INTO IT!

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!



And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!


If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of Awareness will be planted and maybe changes WILL evolve! . Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn't so. But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?
Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.

3rd. President, Democrat

Term of Office: January 20, 1777 to January 20, 1781

“A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have".

Thomas Jefferson

How do those promises about health care from Obama, Pelosi, and the rest of the crew sound after hearing FDR’s promises about Social Security?

Transparency?


Does our constitution allow Czars?
Who vets the Czar’s?
What branch of Government do they fall under?
Who are the Czar’s accountable to?
Why has Obama spent just over 1.5 million dollars to hide all of his documentation?
Why did Obama spend 18 million dollars to redesign the Recovery.gov website?
Why does Obama say that Illegal Aliens will not be covered when the current house bills all have no proof of citizenship clauses?
What does Obama say there are no “Death Panels” in the bill when the current House Bills do have end of life counseling?

Back from the Brink?

Obama says we are back from the brink…of what....Reality?
President Teleprompter tells us that economic disaster has been averted yet we are 13 Trillion in debt. Unemployment is now over 10%, despite the messiah telling us it wouldn’t reach 8 ½% after a stimulus bill. Foreclosures were up 18% in August, with no end in sight. Hanging his hat on the fact that Jobless claims are down, but not mentioning the whole truth (that those figures do not take into account the huge number of those who have been on the dole too long, and no longer qualify). The stimulus that he said saved us from the brink funded Acorn and other radical self interest groups. Interesting that most of the stimulus is to be spent years from now, just in time for him to look like a hero and get re-elected. Saved from an economic disaster…Think again.

This is A Time For Courage - Dr Donald May

Speech Transcript - "This is A Time For Courage"
Dr. Donald May
Lubbock , Texas
April 15, 2009 11:49 pm

Ladies and gentlemen, This is a Time For Courage.

We are gathered here today on the Plains of West Texas in common purpose. We are here to remind our government that this is our country. We the People are still in charge, and our government is still our servant and not our master.

Our Nation's founding document is The Declaration of Independence .. It tells us that our rights come from God and not from a small group of Elite men and women.

Our Constitution starts with the words "We the People." Our Constitution was written for ordinary Americans like you and me. Our Constitution protects us from our government and from the politicians.

Our President has complained that our Constitution gives ordinary people too much protection. He has ridiculed us for the high value we place on our Bibles, our guns, our personal property, and our Liberty .. He tells us we do not deserve to keep the money we have earned.

We are told freedom has not worked. Personal responsibility, free enterprise, and Liberty have not been effective. Our government will now make more of our decisions for us.
Other than our military, I can think of not one government agency I have ever found to be helpful.

And speaking of our military, how about those Navy Seals blowing the heads off those three terrorist pirates? Don't you just wish our entire government would function with such efficiency, professionalism, and courage?

We watch in disbelief as our beloved United States is weakened economically, militarily, and morally by a Radical President and his eager accomplices.
What has taken generations to build is systematically destroyed and replaced with the same Socialist Evil that brought poverty, destruction, and despair to untold hundreds of millions.

The problems we face today have occurred because we have not defended our Nation from Socialism. For too long we have allowed the wrong people to make the worst possible decisions.

The Bible warns us of class hatred. The Radical leadership of our government daily fans the evil flames of class envy.

Our European and Canadian friends beg us to not make the same Socialist mistakes they did.
The President of the European Union warned our President that his Socialist economic plans are taking the World down the "road to Hell."

The path to power for Socialists includes taking God and guns from the citizens. Without spiritual and physical protection, people cannot defend themselves and their Liberty . They soon become slaves.

We are angered that our President apologizes for the exceptionalism and heroism of the United States of America . We are deeply troubled that he told others the United States is not a Christian nation.

We are angered that we have been called cowards and racists because we oppose Socialism. Socialism is not racial. Socialism is an equal opportunity destroyer.

We are angered that a recent Department of Homeland Security report has singled out our military men and women who are returning home as being radical threats.
The report also characterizes you and me as right-wing extremists and radicals because we favor smaller government and lower taxes.

You and I are average citizens who believe just like most of our fellow Americans. We want our government to leave us alone and to keep its hands off our money, our religion, or guns, our private property, and our lives.

We demand that our government stop spending money it does not have.
Stop confiscating our money and private property.
Stop printing money.
Stop subsidizing Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the other failed financial institutions and companies.
Mr. President, stop appointing tax cheats to positions of power and influence.
Mr. President, secure our borders.
Mr. President, do not divert money from our missile defense, F-22 Raptors, and other vital military equipment. This gives encouragement, aid, and comfort to our enemies. Protecting us is your number one job.
Mr. President, do not give voting rights to millions of illegal aliens and felons. You have no more right to create new voters for your benefit than you do to use our money to buy the 2010 and 2012 Elections.

We gather peacefully here today because there is a growing concern for what our government is doing to us and to our future. We fear for the very survival of our Republic.
Yet there is much to make us hopeful and to fill our hearts with optimism and courage. This is still our country!

The Constitution of the Unites States belongs to We the People. Our Constitution still protects us from our government.

Call every possible elected official, including our President, Vice President, and the Speaker of the House.
Demand that they stop stealing our money and giving it to ACORN and their other political supporters in order to buy votes.
Call Senators Cornyn and Hutchison, and Representative Neugebauer. Thank them. Urge them to do much more. Remind them now is a time for action and not for campaigning.
Volunteer to work on our 2010 Census. Confront ACORN. Keep our Census honest... We must not allow our President to take control of our Census for his political advantage.
We must replace as much of our Far Left Congress as possible in 2010. Get involved... Do not let the ACORN control our 2010 Election.

Talk with someone every day who does not understand our nation's history and our great heritage. Tell them why the United States is a good and prosperous nation. It still remains that brightly lit city on the hill. It still is the best hope for all mankind.

Talk with all of the young people you can find. They are our future. Many do not understand what they have and that their future is being destroyed.

Encourage your elected State officials to pass legislation that will protect us from our Federal government. This is a time for strong peaceful action. Let us pray that We the People can quickly return our government to its Constitutional responsibilities.

Our President and Congress were elected to be our servants and not our masters.

May God help our President and Congress to quickly realize the error of their ways and stop their reckless and unwarranted spending, cut our taxes, and reduce the size of our Federal bureaucracy.
If they do not, may God grant us the courage and determination to vote them out of power next year.
May God richly bless and protect each of you, and our Constitution, as together we pursue Liberty !

Constitutionality of Czar's

Sen. Robert Byrd's letter to President Obama

"As presidential assistants and advisers, these White House staffers are not accountable for their actions to the Congress, to cabinet officials, and to virtually anyone but the president," Byrd wrote. "They rarely testify before congressional committees, and often shield the information and decision-making process behind the assertion of executive privilege. In too many instances, White House staff have been allowed to inhibit openness and transparency, and reduce accountability."
The West Virginia Democrat on Wednesday asked Obama to "consider the following: that assertions of executive privilege will be made only by the president, or with the president's specific approval; that senior White House personnel will be limited from exercising authority over any person, any program, and any funding within the statutory responsibility of a Senate-confirmed department or agency head; that the president will be responsible for resolving any disagreement between a Senate-confirmed agency or department head and White House staff; and that the lines of authority and responsibility in the administration will be transparent and open to the American public."

For all who hated Bush...

Obama's Budget czar shows the best year will be a deficit of $739 billion in 2015, if everything is as rosy as he says it will be. That's 61% worse than Bush's worst year and that's without universal healthcare and cap and trade. But... it gets worse. Again by Obama's own budget projections, the policies he's already put in will have the deficit getting worse, not better, at the end of projections. Worse in 2016 than 2015. Worse in 2017 than 2016. Worse in 2018 than 2017, and worse in 2019 than 2018

Bush was not my favorte President, but he didn't do to future generations what this President is proposing.

What Qualifies Obama to be President?

He was born…(Where, it stands to be determined)
He drove a car, but never ran a dealership or even managed a dealership …yet he is running Government Motors
He has money in a bank. But hasn’t been a teller , Bank manager or the like…yet he has taken over banks
He has been to a Doctor, but has never gone to medical school…yet he wants to be CEO of your health care
He read about dictators and Czar's in books, so that gives him the right to appoint 30 Czar’s who have no one to answer to
He got his home with a personal mortgage funded through shady dealings with Chicago thugs (one who is in prison)…But he is commander in chief of Fannie May and Freddie Mac
He holds no insurance license…yet he took over AIG
He might of taken Economics (though we don’t know…because all of his records are being sealed with millions of dollars)…but he is running our economy

Grade: D

Comments:
Discovered his mantra meaning:
HOPE they let me CHANGE America….Forever

Is there really a health care crisis?

Medicaid is there, and for two bucks, an indigent person can get medical coverage and medicine.
Medicare is there for the elderly. Imperfect, yes—but a subsidized option.
Medicare also has part D coverage and then Drug companies provide discounts and countless ways to save—just by applying through the manufacturer
Illegal aliens can walk into any ER and get treated, and they usually pay nothing! They need furnish no proof that they are citizens.
As it is, Doctor’s pay an insane amount of money to pay off their loans, and exorbitant amounts in malpractice reform. Then, once they are licensed and practicing, they must live with the spiderlike web of red tape that ends up killing the enthusiasm of even the brightest shining prodigy’s.
What this administration wants to do is to mandate a universal plan. The plan might cost 50 billion to one trillion dollars, to cover an additional 44 million Americans. (That number includes illegal aliens, people who can afford insurance and chose not to, and those who are young and would rather not spend money on insurance). Whittiling down the number to a approximate total of legal citizens’ who could not afford , and are truly in need to about 14 million.
The one trillion dollar plan to cover 14 million people will help those people, at the expense of the rest of America. More people would need to be covered, and the prescribers’ would have to take a smaller, negotiated rate for the extra people they see. That is why rationing is a logical next step.
The United States Health Care system is second to none, but has a problem that could save millions of dollars each year. It is not to revamp the system and add another layer of government. It is to stop providing any and all medical care for illegal aliens. The money that could be saved by that alone could provide policies for the 14 million American’s that are in need, and can not afford care.

Thoughts about this administration

He wants our Nation in Chaos
So that he can insert himself into the problem as a savior, a messiah.
He is creating bigger government that will dictate our every move. Whether it is taxing our carbon imprint on greenhouse gasses or telling us what kind of vehicles we will drive.
To dictating an 1,100 page bill on health care full of government bureaucracy and unintended benefits for people who sneak into our country illegally.
He stimulated our economy with money from children who are yet to be born.
He says that his plan is still working, despite plunging ratings, and outrage from Citizens. He is tone deaf and driven to take our money, change this country and leave it in a hole that will be hard to step out of.

Ye Olde Card Check

INTRODUCING THE WORST LEGISLATION IN US HISTORY: Card Check

This is simply the most harmful piece of legislation in American History.

THE BAD NEWS-

• During his Campaign Obama promised to pass this Law within the first 100 days of his presidency.
• Biden and Obama are endorsed and funded by powerful labor unions. Biden has positioned himself on the cabinet as the voice of Labor unions and has recently promised to pass this legislation.
• Labor Unions spent more than 450 million on helping to elect democrats. A slush fund exists to politically ruin any candidate who votes NO on the Legislation after receiving support.
• The Labor Unions are branding themselves as the heros of the Middle Class.
• The media is very reluctant to speak out against the unions especially because most media voices are union members.

The bill passed the House 241-185 but was filibustered by Republicans in the Senate. It's a party-line split in the Senate (except for support from Republican Senator Arlen Specter). So the bill would need a Democratic president and something close to 59 Democrats in the Senate in order to pass. We have 58 Democrats.

QUESTION TO OBAMA:
On card-check protection [which would make it easier for unions to organize], we've heard that there might be a delay on that, or it might not be an immediate priority? Also, on NAFTA, we've heard that you might support maybe a study and then a report, instead of a wholesale reworking of the agreement right away?

OBAMA:
Well look, my economic team is reviewing these issues. You know, I've consistently said on trade issues that I want environmental and labor provisions that are enforceable in those trade agreements. But I also have said that I believe in free trade and don't think that we can draw a moat around the American economy. I think that would be a mistake. When it comes to unions, I have consistently said that I want to strengthen the union movement in this country and put an end to the kinds of barriers and roadblocks that are in the way of workers legitimately coming together in order to form a union and bargain collectively. My economic team is going to put together a package on trade and on worker issues that will be presented to me. I don't want to anticipate right now what sequences will be on these issues.

Small Business Issues in the Ballot Box: the Employee Free Choice Act
This election could end up changing labor laws to a great degree
By Matthew Bandyk
October 31, 2008

In terms of the issues that small-business owners belonging to any political party care about most, labor is one of the least talked about, taking a back seat to general economic issues, tax policy, energy, and health. But the results of this election could make the difference for the passage of what many observers are calling the most sweeping change in labor laws in 70 years—and one that could affect millions of small businesses for better or worse.

One of the issues where the difference between Republicans and Democrats in this year's election is most stark is the Employee Free Choice Act. The bill contains several provisions that would make it easier for workers to form unions. It passed the House of Representatives on a highly partisan vote in February 2007, but was killed when all the Republicans in the Senate (except Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania) filibustered it, with almost all Senate Democrats supporting the act. But one point on which members of both sides agree is that it is the most significant piece of labor legislation since the National Labor Relations Act of 1935.

Josh Goldstein, spokesman for the labor advocacy nonprofit American Rights at Work, which supports the bill, says, "It's pretty clear that it's one of the most significant reforms of our outdated labor laws." Supporters of the bill say that it is necessary to create a fairer process for forming a union. "It's time to adjust the playing field back to a level where both parties have equal voice," says Goldstein.

Glenn Spencer, executive director of the Workforce Freedom Initiative at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has strongly opposed the bill, agrees on its significance. "It would be the biggest change since the 1930s," he says. But opponents of the bill argue that it would impose unfair and burdensome costs on businesses of all sizes.

Just how much do small-business owners need to be concerned about the Employee Free Choice Act? Some small-business advocacy groups have stressed its potential costliness. Raymond J. Keating, chief economist for the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council, has said that "in the long run, both business owners and employees would suffer" if the bill was passed because it would "boost costs, restrain productivity," and make businesses "less competitive."

But others say that this is overstating how many businesses the bill would affect. Dawn Rivers Baker, author of the MicroEnterprise Journal, has written that "the vast majority of small businesses [are] just too small to have to worry about" the issue of unionizing.

Some businesses certainly will not be affected. The National Labor Relations Act—which the Employee Free Choice Act amends—applies only to retail businesses with over $500,000 in sales a year (and deals in some products traded over state lines) or nonretail businesses with over $50,000 in sales a year.

The key provision of the Employee Free Choice Act could make it more feasible for the workers of smaller businesses to unionize. Under current law, in order for a union to be recognized at a business, 30 percent of the workers of the business in question must express support for joining a union. This is then followed by a secret ballot election where half of the workers must vote in favor of joining. The Employee Free Choice Act would make this election unnecessary and allow the union to be recognized through a process known as "card check." A majority of workers simply need to sign cards expressing their intent to join the union, and this process need not be secret. At a business with just 20 workers, "you could get 11 people to sign [cards] in a half-hour," says Spencer.

Todd Steenson, a partner in labor employment at the law firm Holland & Knight in Chicago, says that this easier process would allow unions to be formed at businesses where they could not before. "It's going to cost them money to go out and organize. There is going to be diminishing returns [for a union] when a business gets small enough." But allowing card check, he says, would reduce those costs of organizing and thus make it worth it for unions to look at smaller employers. Steenson says this is especially true in the case of retail businesses, because they cannot move overseas if they do not like U.S. labor laws.

Appropriations Porkie Pie

Omnibus Appropriations Package
A.K.A. Porkie Pot Pie #2 HR 1105

Congress boondoggles taxpayers by serving up epic appropriations pork pie

Adding new policy changes to appropriations packages is illegal according to Ethics in Government Act of 1978 and Title 18 of the US Code. But some frisky congressmen and senators have tossed those pesky regulations aside. To them, this legislation is a great opportunity to push into law and fund their most controversial pet programs which would otherwise get killed during debate. Since Obama is chomping at the bit to sign another massive spending package, Congress is is hoping the massive bill will get passed like the last one: In record time, full of pork, with no time to read.

So What does the latest $410,000,000 Bill Buy us? Here’s some highlights

• 8,570 known earmarks totaling more than $7.7 billion
• Foreign policy changes with Cuba
• Inviting select Palestinians to patriate to US
• A comprehensive expensive program to micro-chip every single turkey, chicken, goat, cow, horse, dog, cat, duck in the United States.
• $75 Million to Gaza strip run by Hamas
• $1.5 Billion to Egypt
• $500 Million to Jordan
• $20 Million to continue to ‘pretty up’ the White House and outfit it with state of the art flat screen TV’s, fancy lighting, sound systems and entertainment.
• $2 Million to control pig odor (no joke)

ECONOMIC STIMULATION STYMIED!
The trillion dollar Stimulus Package on the Senate Floor is disgraceful. It is utterly loaded with special interest projects. It bloats the federal government to record levels without achieving its objective! America lost 2.6 million jobs in 2008 yet our congress has dedicated over a 1/4 of a billion dollars to special interests earmarks which have absolutely nothing to do with solving the current economic crisis.

A BUZZ IN HOLLYWOOD O’ER THE LAZY RIVER
How will Honey Bee insurance, Hollywood studio incentives and a program to update Mississippi River Computers jumpstart our economy and solve the mortgage crisis? It’s unfathomable that these senators and congressmen would load this bill up with junk and then vote in favor of it!! Sure the bill includes a few solid programs. But that pales in comparison to the amount of absolute PORK in there. We don’t have the cash to spend on these non essential projects. That’s tax payer money!

YO CONGRESS!
Draft a bill that achieves the need!!
We American people are struggling. We don’t need to fatten up our federal government and dole out gifts to special interest groups. We need to jumpstart the economy so banks will start lending again, so Americans can pay their mortgages and car payments and buy new shoes! Just how does pouring vast sums of money into the sex education class, a weather program build millions of jobs, and address the mortgage and housing markets crisis?

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO GET CONGRESS TO PRODUCE A BILL THAT SOLVES THE CRISIS

MISSED OPPORTUNITIES
This dreadful economic condition is a tremendous opportunity for our congress to put their interests aside and rebuild the economy. Instead they abused their power by loading it up with programs which do next to nothing to build jobs! Last year alone America lost 2.6 million jobs. Yet the best they can do with 1 trillion dollars is create 600,000 jobs, the lionshare of which are construction/back office federal jobs. Only 3% of the trillion dollars go to small business. Does that make sense? creating a grand total of 600,000 jobs while doing nothing to save the current jobs? How is that going to solve the economic condition when in January alone America lost 526,000 jobs?

MYSTERY ECONOMISTS DRINKING SOME POLITICAL KOOL-AID
Who exactly are these lawmakers consulting in their masterplan to jumpstart the economy? Certainly not Sachs or Rogoff.
You don’t need to be a world class economist to see that this bill will further entrench our county in a deep recession sending us careening toward a neo- depression. We tax payers don’t have the funds to sustain this mish-mash of projects. Lets call on congress to WORK for the American people!!

THE NEW NEW DEAL CREATES BIG BIG PROBLEMS
What turns a recession into a Great depression?

• higher taxes
• huge infrastructure projects
• massive government spending
• labor law changes
  

Winston Churchill said “Those who fail to heed the lessons of history will be doomed to repeat it.”

DEAR PRESIDENT
Read your history. Don’t repeat FDR’s mistakes. Learn from them and give an informed, thoughtful and balanced response to this crisis.
