Why is increasing the federal government’s power thought to posses the ability to cure most problems within the US?
People seem to believe that the ‘godlike’ government will do a better job doing their jobs than they will, seems more like a shifting of responsibilities. We don’t want to get our hands dirty so we pass the work on to the federal government. The federal government accepts only too eagerly, creates a department with a fancy name and ups the taxes to pay for this new bureaucratic waist.
Increasing Bureaucracy is the Governments ‘cure all.’ Today, the government is hard at work increasing its power in arias such as health reform, government bailouts and taxes.
Government run organizations have such a great track record its no wander that the liberal party wants to enlarge the already obese bureaucracy! Wait a second…
Let’s look at the Department of Energy. A typical government bureaucratic pigeonhole, established during the Carter Administration. The Department of Energy was established to, “lessen our dependence on foreign oil.” Its been pretty darn efficient, huh?
It’s 2009 – 32 years later – and the budget for this “necessary” (cough, cough)
department is at $24.2 BILLION a year. They have 16,000 federal employees and
approximately 100,000 contract employees. And look at the job they have done!
Why? We hardly use any foreign oil at all right ? uh...NOT
Good ole bureaucracy - just made everything way, way worse
The more power relinquished to the federal government, the less power the average citizen has and the more we must trust our mommy the federal government. If President Obama really wants to make us “even” he will enlarge the reach of government, something he is already hard at work doing.
Unfortunately, once the government interferes one time they feel free to do it again, and again, and again…
A great example would be the government bailouts issued by Obama. Now that the economy is still suffering, Obama’s regime is forcing these businesses to take large pay cuts. What’s going to keep the federal government from deciding that they would do a better job and taking over the car companies completely?
We all know that once the Federal government takes something over its way better off than a free market business, right?
Like the Post office compared to UPS.
Or the DMV compared to an independent driving company.
Seeing how wonderful these function, let’s go ahead and give over the banking system, healthcare, and the auto industry to the all wise government.
Sounds like a plan!

Die quickly
Representative Alan Grayson announced in congress last week that, “The republican health care plan is for the sick to die quickly.”
So what?
Sure Alan Grayson addressed congress with inflammatory words, but this is nothing new to congress. Congress members have been screaming at each other since the beginning.
Instead, let’s ask ourselves the following questions. Is there any truth to Grayson’s words? And what is Grayson’s agenda?
Grayson is clearly attempting to bolster Obama’s healthcare plan while tearing at the Republican’s views. Grayson attempts to present the “Republican heath care plan” by using the classical liberal game plan of no facts and plenty of emotion. He presents three points on a large sheet of paper. They are as follows: “The republican health care plan is 1)Don’t get sick 2)If you get sick 3)Die quickly.”
Grayson is extremely correct with his first point. Republicans would appreciate if American’s could just not get sick. That’s why these darn Republicans keep pushing free market capitalism, and an environment where whoever develops the best cures gets the most recognition. The people with the best technology and surgical equipment get paid the most and get to keep coming up with stuff that will accomplish not “getting sick.”
(Does point one imply that the liberal party wants people to get sick?)
Grayson is also correct in his second point. Yes, Republicans do realize that people will get sick. (Although we wouldn’t mind if Grayson would give a demonstration... say permanent laryngitis?)
Point three, however, is completely incorrect.*
(There may be few potential exceptions)
It can be safely assumed that Grayson is referring to the Republican’s no governmental aid stance for his bright conclusion of “republicans want sick people to die quickly.”
In short Grayson is implying that republicans are Scrooges who sneer at the little boy on crutches.
The leftist stance on the matter (im assuming) would be considered, “wanting the sick to throw down their crutches and leap around in the field of daisies while What a Wonderful World plays in the back ground.
Unfortunately its not this simple.
I don’t know who convinced the American people that government is this wonderful fairy godmother here to take care of our ills and woes. Whoever it is he deserves treatment three. What makes us think that government health insurance will be anymore “honest” that private health care insurance? Obama says that government insurance is going to keep the private health care insurance in check. Who is going to keep government in check? Oh, wait I forgot it’s the health care of the people…never mind, we’re good.
Government run health insurance is sure to have the compassion of the IRS, the efficiency of the post office, and the heavenly atmosphere of the DMV.
As Ronald Regan stated, “Government is not a solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Government is not going to solve the heath care issues of the poor. The government is not even going to help. It is incapable.
This is an inverse relationship.
The more power we give the US government the less power we have.
The less power the American people have the less free we are.

Nothing to do with politics
College Stereotypes
The skate border
This dude seems to think that he continually possesses the right of way. He will go weaving through the crowd between COB and Sci at lighting speed. Don’t change speeds or attempt to move or you will be ran over and blamed for the wreckage.
(NOTE: some day soon UCCS will out law your skate boards…haha)
Jock girl???
Judging from apparel, 80% of UCCS female students are jocks. Judging from body builds, 40% of female students are jocks. So 40% must think they look really hot in those baggy sweats and stupid head bands??? (NOTE: you don’t)
He wares his sunglasses inside
This dude thinks he looks really hot in his sun glasses. After practicing in front of his mirror, he walks to class, and waits till he is on the top floor at the last class at the end of the dark hall to whip of his shades. (NOTE: though somewhat amusing, not that hot, sorry)
Professor suffering from ADD
He goes from talking about cumulous clouds, to his wife who thought that a cloud looked like a baby, to his daughter who is about to have a baby, and her husband who is in Afghanistan, to why Bush is evil, all in one class. You never really learned anything about cumulous clouds. (NOTE: good nap class.)
The Classroom irritant
Simply a normal part of class such as a white board or computer, a classroom irritant is a must have. He is compelled to ask the dumbest yet most amusing questions. He is completely oblivious to how everyone in the class is snickering at him. Once in a while an irritant will attempt to correct the teacher (this is especially amusing). Best of all is watching the professor attempt to not see the irritant waving his hand back and forth.
(NOTE: shut the heck up.)
The gazer
She doesn’t want you to rush ahead and help her with the door. She wants the door closed and the lighting just right so she can perform a quick make up, hair check before she gets into COB. (NOTE: I am pretty sure there are mirrors in the bathroom.)
The pseudo UFC fighter
Is one of the geekiest guys in school with these little skinny arms. He thinks for some reason that if he drapes that huge MMA shirt over his skimpy stature it will some how magically make him a bad ass. (NOTE: we all think you are a douche.)
The know it all
Sits in front of you with his/her laptop and types a paragraph for every word the teacher says. (NOTE: you are freaking annoying)
The Gamer
He has a difficult time separating his real life from his online alias. This is the guy who brings his laptop to class to play Call of Duty4, World of War Craft, and Halo. (NOTE: be prepared for analogies featuring trench warfare or master chief.)
The Fast and Furious car owner
Whether the car is actually a sports car or not is irrelevant. It all comes down to decals, body kits, paint jobs, and sound systems. The car owners with the pimped out cars think that their rides are better than everyone else’s. (NOTE: they are)

Robbing Hood and the dwarfs
Today boys and girls, we will be taking a little quiz to see how many of President Barack Hussein Obama’s (Oh I’m sorry, forgot we’re not allowed to use his middle name)…Ahem, President Barack Hussein Obama’s dwarfs or advisors you can name.
Which dwarf said the following? “Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously, as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or effects on others."(Journal of the American Medical Association, on June 18, 2008) Which dwarf would that be? None other than Doc., Obama’s current health-policy adviser, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.
Anyone know which dwarf, seems to have an unfortunate issue with words? On Aug. 23, this dwarf or Dopey called Obama "Barack America." Later he referred to Palin as the, “lieutenant governor of Alaska.” On June 2006, Dopey commented, "You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I'm not joking." And last but not least in January 2007 he commented of his running mate "I mean, you got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Dopey said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man." And who is Dopey? 10 pts if you guessed Joe Biden.
The fourth dwarf Sleepy seems to be suffering from amnesia. Sleepy clamed to know nothing of “advanced interrogation techniques.” Then the CIA came out telling America that Sleepy was fully informed on all interrogation techniques such as water boarding. Anybody guess Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House???
Which self-proclaimed communist ex-dwarf spent some time in a music studio? He and others (such as cop killer Mumia abu-Jamal.) conglomerated to come up with an album by the name of War Times. One line from the album states, “The United States; a piece of stolen land led by right-wing, war-hungry, oil thirsty… The true terrorists are made in the U.S.” Can anybody guess this sleazy dwarfs name? The answer is…Obama’s ex-Green czar, Van Jones.
The fifth dwarf Happy, manages to keep this plastic smile on his face against all odds. When Obama called Cambridge police department, “stupid,” or when Happy was asked if the resignation of Van Jones was seen as necessary to Obama, Happy just smiled big and went on to say how great Obama is(…wait I think I missed a step.) Happy doesn’t listen to the question asked he just waits for a break to praise Obama. Anybody guess White House press secretary, Robert L. Gibbs??? If so give yourself another 10pts.
The head honcho of these dwarfs is a tall man, though sometimes that's hard to see when he is bowing to Muslim dictators. As in the fairy book Robbing Hood, Robbing Obama seems set on, “spreading the wealth.” Unfortunately to only those people he likes. Right after he told us he had visited 57 states he said, "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." This is pretty much the same way bank robbers justify their actions. They never consider that what they steal might be purposed to help others by it's rightful owners.
If you got between 50-20 points…Wow, you know more about Obama’s Advisors than most Americans.
But if you got between 10-0 points don’t feel bad you’re just another victim of the Leftist biased media.
