Save $50 Billion: Kill All Foreign Aid Now

The U.S. Government is literally borrowing billions of dollars every day from increasingly foreign lenders. So why does it give away a billion dollars in foreign aid every week?

Africa has gotten foreign aid for decades, and has gotten poorer as aid has increased. The World Bank says that foreign aid actually retards growth. When aid stops, governments are forced to confront corruption, make sensible laws, and protect foreign investors who actually help people create wealth.

Stossel absolutely nailed this point, as he often does.

Senator Rand Paul proposes a bill in the Senate on 1/29/11 that will end all foreign aid…to every one of the 150 nations (there are only about 192 nations on earth) that get welfare money from Uncle Sam…money we borrow from China.

And many Israeli economists agree that U.S. welfare aid to foreign countries creates dependence, corruption, and actually harms the long-term economic growth of recipient countries such as Israel.

2012 Political Predictions Made in 2010

For the Republican Nomination: Mitt Romney will absolutely run & win in a crowded field. He will outfundraise everyone else, probably everyone else combined before the Convention. Mitt will announce later than he did last time. He will intentionally stay under the radar until March/April of 2012, when he announces formally and holds a massive fundraising kickoff in Boston, just like last time. Romney’s two biggest negatives will be his Mormonism & his MA Health Care plan, which had some important differences from Obamacare.

• Sarah Palin & Mike Huckabee will absolutely run & lose. Sarah Palin is aware that her negatives are off-the-charts high, but she savored the power as Princess of the Tea Party cannot say no to at least influencing the race. Two-thirds of registered voters in a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll say she’s unqualified for the job, and more than half continue to rate her unfavorably overall.                                                                                                                                                      http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenumbers/2010/10/tea-party-or-no-palins-popularity-still-lags.html
• Besides, what better way to sell her books and DVDs of her TV shows? Mike Huckabee will run again and will split the hardcore Evangelical vote/social conservatives with Palin. Once a politician tastes the fame and the whiff of intense power, they are as addicted as Gollum in Lord of The Rings. “It’s mine! Myyyyyyyyyyy precioouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssss!”
• Palin will very likely boom and peak too early, only to fade fast before New Hampshire where Mitt Romney will clobber her and everyone else in this crowded field by double digits. Quitting in the middle of her first term & becoming a media spectacle has absolutely killed her already weakened crossover appeal to independents and unaffiliated voters. I’m a Conservative who agrees with her on every cause, but fiscal conservatives want a seasoned, stable, grown-up, experienced Chief Executive to run the country like a skilled manager, not a quitter with a dramatic TV show & daily “shock & awe” tweets.

 

• Palin’s quitting to become a media star fits the narrative that she already struggled with: 7 in 10 Americans say she’s unqualified to serve as President. When voters take a closer look and see her 0% of beating Obama in the general election, her huge negatives (higher than any other Republican), she’ll have only a chance to influence to winner when she bows out. Her appeal is so limited, that 47% of Tea Party members call her unqualified to serve as President. She can “tweet” red meat to the right-wing of her party, make shows, sell books, and do fundraisers. She’s a great resource to the party as a provocateur, but not as a serious Presidential candidate. Tim Pawlenty, Bobby Jindal, Newt Gingrich (old & huge baggage) will not win if they run.
• Fiscal Conservatives like me, plus defense hawks, moderates and independents (where they are allowed to vote in primaries) will deliver an early victories to Romney in New Hampshire, Michigan, Nevada, & Wyoming. The usual subtle anti-Mormn comments will likely backfire this time, and create sympathy for Mitt & his impeccable family. Iowa turned against Mitt in 2008. He led there for almost a year, won the August straw poll, and thenl social conservatives convinced Huckabee to make some comments about Mitt’s Mormonism and even branded Huckabee a “CHRISTIAN LEADER” in bold capitalized letters in TV commercials. Not a subtle swat at Mitt’s church, but it worked in Iowa. Mitt finished 2nd. Mccain finished 3rd, and went on to beat them both for the nomination.
• Mike Huckabee is a folksy, funny, formerly fat fellow who comes across as easy enough to like. However, he’s got over a 1,000 pardons and commutations to explain, including killers who have gone on to KILL AGAIN. He endorsed Teacher’s Unions, and they endorse him. His negatives aren’t as high as Palin’s, but he hasn’t built the fundraising machine and the national network the size of Romney’s. Not a good date to bring to the Republican primary, especially in 2012. His only formal education beyond high school is from a Baptist seminary. Nothing wrong with that, but he lacks credibility on economic and fiscal issues. Also, he’s on the record in 2007 supporting Cap & Trade legislation. Oops. Stick a fork in him, he’s done. Mike Huckabee is the Gomer Pyle of Republican politics: funny to watch, but not the guy you want sitting in the Oval Office running things. If Romney chokes, though, Huckabee would be the favorite for the nomination (it hurts me to say that), as Republicans almost always choose a nominee after he has run and lost. Reagan lost to Ford, Bush lost to Reagan, Dole, Mccain, etc.
• Mitt Romney will beat Obama in the 2012 election if any 2 of these 4 things happen: Obama’s negatives stay high, jobs stay scarce, inflation surges, & massive deficits continue. Incumbent presidents have won a 2nd term in the majority of their attempts. However, Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr. got their butts kicked in recent history, under very similar conditions.

• “DRILL, BABY, DRILL” is a chorus that grows loud as gas prices rise. It will come back, as gas prices will surpass $5 a gallon and may even pass $6 a gallon before the 2012 election. Obama’s anti-energy policies have directly contributed to what will be the doubling of gas prices during his term. Voters will punish Obama for their pain at the pump. This factor will open up a new region of hurt for Obama’s campaign, but only with families who buy gas. 😉 Obama will be a sitting duck to criticism for his abrupt expansion of offshore drilling, followed by his total reversal and then his assault on U.S. Energy exploration. Inflation will increase, not to anything like we see in Banana Republics, but inflation will rise enough to bite American consumers. Interest rates will rise sharply in 2011 and 2012 as a result of excessive government debt levels and expected inflation.
• The stock market will rally to record highs. The U.S. stock market will have a much better decade 2010-2020 as it did during 2000 to 2009. Historical evidence is overwhelming: bad decades (1930s, 1970s) are followed by 1 or 2 good ones. International stocks will outperform, but history suggests the U.S. market will likely increase by 2 or 3 times. If it happens in the next 22 months, this would normally be a plus for an incumbent. However, Obama has infuriated and villanized America’s 70 million investors. Plus, Mitt Romney’s business credentials are the best of any Presidential candidate in U.S. During the 14 years Romney headed the company, Bain Capital’s average annual internal rate of return on realized investments was a staggering 113 percent (The American, “Mister Powerpoint Goes To Washington.”).

Vote Now For November’s Jackass Politician Award

November’s nominees for the prestigious Jackass Politician Award! Harry Reid would be on the list again, but he has already been certified by you as a JACKASS. As always, the winner will receive an actual Jackass from me in the mail, along with a certificate that says, “Congratulations! Because of your corruption and incompetence in office, we the people have officially designated you a Jackass Politician!”

This month’s contenders:

Senator Lisa “Daddy gave me MY Senate seat!” Murkowski. This RINO cannot accept the fact that she lost. She pledged to support the winner of the primary, until she lost the primary and vowed to run a write-in campaign. The only thing worse than a lifelong politician is the spoiled kid of a lifelong politician who gets into the family business by being appointed to the U.S. Senate. Alaska, take out the trash. It’s starting to stink up there. Seriously. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OqMJ3aQC0c

Congressman John “Control The People” Dingell. 84 years old with 55 uninterrupted years in Congress? Come on, Michigan. This guy is the walking dead. He can’t even walk around his campaign events without a cane and a staffer holding him up and carrying him around. You’re embarassing yourselves and screwing the rest of us!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqp0eXfpiWU

Senator Barbara “Call Me Senator” Boxer. She worked so hard to ruin the country and trample The Constitution. This is California’s only chance to remove her before she morphs into a female Robert Byrd. THROW HER OUT.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKHIoaflBR8

Senator Patty “Eat Your Vegetables” Murray. What a condescending left-wing snot! “Sometimes you just gotta eat your vegetables?” So, in Washington State, you are all the children up there and your Senator is the wise parent? What a Jackass Politician!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYzgEyWRJDc

Vote Now! Nominees Listed for the October’s Prestigious Jackass Politician Award

Make sure to tell your friends to come and vote for their favorite nominee! This month, I’ve had so much fun putting together this month’s list of Jackass Politicians. There are so many Jackasses that you guys keep emailing me, and so little time. =-)

Enjoy.

1. Jerry Brown, former governor of California. The fresh new face of the left in California is a nearly-dead octenarian former governor who was elected in 1975. He accidentally recorded himself calling Meg Whitman a “whore”, and considering an ad with such terminology, as retribution for her striking a deal with the police union to win and endorsement that he felt entitled to. He gets a lawyer to out Whitman’s housekeeper. In trying to slander Meg Whitman, he actually outed the lying fraud illegal immigrant and did us all a favor of exposing the illegal alien fraud to trial and deportation (bogus ID, fraudulent Social Security number, falsified documents and statements–just like my ex wife!). Talk about your ultimate backfire. Whitman has been holding steady and even gaining in recent tracking polls. Even Californians, with their leftist media and socialist voting tendencies, are not stupid enough to buy this hack. Return to sender. Brown is an old hack. He’s damaged goods, but do you think he beat out our other nominees for the National Jackass Politician Award? Remember, each month the winner gets an actual jackass in the mail from me, with a note and a certificate that reads, “Congratulations, Jackass! You’ve won the prestigious National Jackass Politician Award for October 2010! Here’s a jackass for you!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XVXcTqeMkI

2. Senator Harry Reid, NV. When asked to mention the Greatest Living Americans, he cited Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd. First of all, they are both dead. Second of all, while they were alive, the only “greatness” they showed was a multi-trillion dollar spending spree and “great” love for every left-wing, big government problem that Congress gave us during their 5 decade addiction to Senatorial power. These 2 power-hungry men were nothing short of domestic enemies of The Constitution, whose work was to give false praise to it and simultaneously dismantle it. The polls show he’s trailing Angle, but only slightly. He’s well-funded and extremely slippery. This dirtbag lifelong politician deserves to be fired, but would you crown him a Jackass Politician, dear readers? Only you can decide. Oh, and he also maintains that paying income tax in America is voluntary.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7mRSI8yWwg

3. Congressman Jim Matheson, UT-2. Nominated for refusing to hold a single town hall meeting on the health care bill, or for any reason during his entire campaign. He’s been called the “phantom Congressman” who makes appearances by video clip only. The Phantom Congressman pretends to be a fiscal conservative (so-called Blue Dog Democrat), yet he votes for the most bloated budgets in history, to raise the debt ceiling every time, to raise taxes, and for the trillion dollar “waste of a stimulus” package. Jim also stipulates that he will not take any audience or opponent questions at his 2 upcoming debate venues with Conservative opponent Morgan Philpot. Jim Matheson is acting like castrated coward. Grow some balls, Jim, and appear before us. We are your sovereign, and you are our EMPLOYEE. It’s time to for the Conservatives of Utah to stop swooning for the cute, cuddly Matheson family political dynasty and say, “Jim, you’re fired.” Doesn’t this guy smell like a Murkowski from Alaska? Entitled to a seat because of Daddy’s name. THROW HIM OUT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRTQ4Tv6mtg

4. Congressman Alan Grayson (FL-8). This race is gonna be a tasty one down in Florida. This lying dirtbag is nominated by one of my Floridian readers for being “a pandering socialist who will distort facts & say anything to get re-elected.” I couldn’t agree more with that assessment. Anyone who saw how he tried to paint his Conservative opponent as “Taliban Dan” knows where Grayson’s integrity lies: in the garbage. He’s thrown it out, and I hope the good people of Florida are assembling and fundraising and barnstorming to throw this Jackass (nominated) out of office forever. We’ll see if the good folks of his district will buy his packaged lies, and we’ll see if all of you across the nation think he’s our national Jackass Queen Politician for October.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHqWMxdcjRA

Charlie Rangel Tops Maxine Waters To Win September’s Jackass Politician Award.

It was a close vote. As you can see, Maxine Waters nearly one and was leading the poll up until the very end. Her rant which openly advocates socialism won her a lot of votes from our readers. But Charlie Rangel’s corrupt and self-serving ways are catching up to him.
Congratulations, Charlie! You chair the committee that writes the tax code which you cheat, and you’re a real, certified, Jackass Politician!

King Obama & “Conservatives”: Drink A TALL Glass of ‘Shut The Hell Up’

I’ve been biting my tongue all week. I can’t hold it in any longer. A President who sticks his nose into a local police debate in Cambridge is a novice and a fool. But when that same POTUS then weighs in to lecture us all on the merits of endorsing the municipal approval of a religious building in New York, we’ve just witnessed an unprecedented, condescending level of arrogance. Mr. President, if we the people wanted your opinion on a building permit, we’ll ask you. Thank you so much for sharing your great knowledge, Oh Great One. You are the most arrogant, self-aggrandizing, professorial jackass 2.0 on earth! Do all city buildings now have to pass over your desk for approval? What part of The Constitution gives Presidents jurisdiction over city buildling permits. Butt out. Leave New York alone. Leave the nation’s police departments and zoning committees alone. We don’t want your guidance, which apparently stems from your vast experience as a lawyer, & socialist community organizer who has NEVER MANAGED A GAS STATION, let alone the largest enterprise in the world.

I’ve heard several of my fellow Mormons, I’m ashamed to say, call for a stop to the building of the project. How soon you forget the history of our own religious freedoms! How many times have our own temple permit applications been declined or forced to change because of “controversy” or a steeple that people didn’t like. Last time I checked, freedom of religion is absolutely sacrosanct in this country. Mormons of all people should speak up to defend that.

And for the rest of you who call yourselves “Conservatives” and who are eager to strike at the owner’s right to lawfully build: insensitive is not a criteria for waiving property rights. You should butt out, too. Mind your own business. Do something productive. Run for City Council and beautify your own city. Or, move to New York and vote against Bloomberg. Whatever. If you don’t live there, how is this your concern? “What’s it to ya?” Live and let live. Would you want Federal politicians or outsiders coming to your town and telling you which permits to approve and which to cancel because of “insensitivity”? Everybody’s got an opinion on this, blasting over the airwaves. I’ve bitten my tongue for too long. I’m sick of it.

Of course the building is provocative and insensitive to the families of those who were murdered there. That’s the point. It’s the very building where landing gear fell through the roof from one of the ill-fated planes. If these guys break a law in fundraising, then throw them in jail. If they violate code, then fine them. Federal officials can enforce Federal laws, without respect to the owner’s creed, color, nationality or religious affiliation. I have no illusions about the very real danger that Islamic radicals pose to all of us. At the same time, I just don’t see why we should feel so threatened by this mosque or Islamic center–or whatever it is.

To me, Ground Zero and its surrounding areas are hallowed ground. I personally interviewed for a job on the 70th floor of the North Tower, just before it was directly hit by one of the planes, instantly incinerating all of the good folks who interviewed me there on that fated floor. Since the Lehman Brothers Catastrophic Bonds Group didn’t offer me the job, I avoided the tragedy and survived, to the great frustration of a large number of people. 🙂 The owners are giving the middle finger to religious, local, and cultural sentiment, and all you commentators out there are giving them the free publicity and importance they need to raise the funds. INSENSITIVITY is not against the law. I’ve heard some of the statements associated with the Imam’s group. He sounds like an a**hole. Even a**holes have property rights. Leave them alone. New York City can handle this without making a Federal case out of it. Besides, do you think any construction crew in the Tri-state area is going to work on the job? Let them spend their money as they please.

Breaking News: Bush & Obama Agree to Suspend Constitution So Bush Can Seek 3rd Term in 2012

Unbelievable. Check out the video clip of Bush’s shocking announcement:

Announcement: July 2010 Winner of The Prestigious Jackass Politician Award

Thank you to the thousands of you for reading, for sending in nominees and for voting in July’s poll. The votes are tallied and July’s winner is President Barack Obama, who edged out the late Senator Robert Byrd to join the ranks of the few…the proud…the Jackass Politicians. As always, the winning politician will get a complimentary donkey in the mail from me, along with a congratulatory note from all of us at The Jackass Politican Award.

The late Senator Robert Byrd wins the Jackass Politician Lifetime of Jackassness Award. This lifelong politician was a KKK leader until it became necessary to resign that post in time for one of his early reelections in the 1950s. He declared that he would never serve “alongside a negro.”

He went on to name scores of bridges, highways, parks, bills, statues & buildings after himself. He was the most unapologetic porker in the history of The Republic. He was a fully corrupted, say anything, flip-flopping, power hungry, rotted-on-the-vine, lifelong politician in Congress continually for over five decades. Despite his ailing and scenile condition at age 92, his aides wheeled him out on life support to cast the tie-breaking vote for Obamacare on the floor of the Senate on Christmas Eve, 2009. Shame on Senator Byrd’s staff and family for doing this to the nation and to a scenile, dying old man.

Please remember to submit YOUR nominee and then vote in August’s straw poll. Don’t forget to include a link to a video clip or article to substantiate your nominee’s jackassness. =-)

Embattled Representatives Maxine Waters & Charlie Rangle have already been nominated. August should be an awesome iteration of the Jackass Politician Poll. Once two other nominees are selected, I’ll post a poll with the 4 nominees (and their video/article links) so you can vote. I want to thank each of you for supporting this growing blog. Send the link to your friends. “Spread the wealth around.”
