Imagine this for a moment. You’re on a boat in the middle of the
ocean, and you notice a hole in the hull where water is pouring in.
The boat is starting to sink. You have two choices: you could either
throw your provisions overboard or you could fix the hole. What do you
do?

You’d better hope that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor isn’t your
captain. Fixing the hole, he would argue, is difficult. You might have
to sacrifice your seat cushion or your tailored shirt to fill the gap.
You might lose that cushy luxury or be forced to wear a mismatched
tie.

It would be much better, according to Captain Cantor, to throw
everything else overboard. The oars, your life jackets, the cooler
full of food, and heck, even some expendable children and elderly
sailors. But you could keep sitting on your cushions. Without all the
extra weight, the boat will stay afloat -- at least for a couple more
minutes.

As a lead House Republican negotiator in striking a deal to raise the
nation’s debt limit -- allowing our government to pay its bills --
Cantor is steering the nation toward an economic crisis. Failure to
raise the debt limit could result in higher unemployment, force the
government to delay Social Security checks, and drastically reduce the
funding available to enforce bedrock environmental laws like the Clean
Air and Clean Water Acts.

Why is Captain Cantor willing to watch the boat sink? It comes back to
seat cushions. He absolutely refuses to ask polluting corporations and
millionaires to pay their fair share. Late last week, his negotiating
team rejected proposals to eliminate subsidies for big oil, corn
ethanol and private jets.


I don't travel USS Democrat-Obama. Heard too many bad things about that
already.

Like I said they see putting ribbons on this globalist/foreign corporate
pig will make it look pretty to us dumb Americans instead of doing
anything real.
Senate tried to kill Ethanol pig but Democrats like the pig. It forces
us to fattens Ethanol Corporations pockets.
Very few/none of the subsidies do what they were intended. From peanut,
to every one of the others they fatten the huge, wealthy Agricultual
corporations' pigs.
Stop all subsidies to commoditis and foreign corporations of any kind.
Time to realize this predatory free trade one way street horse is dead
for Americans and dismount.
Americans need a strong dollar. Americans need good paying jobs,
Americans need cheap food and fuel. Americans need to sen home the
Illegal Alien compnay washington is forcing into our bedrooms and
shoving our chilkdren away from the table, and kicking them out of their
beds. Send home 20 million Illegals and the 20 million hostile Muslim
and Indiiand cultures here to freeload and take our childrens jobs, and
drive up taxes, and drive down the dollar and overcrowd us. Imiangine
awakening tomorrow iwth a 30% decrease in demand for fuel.
That would mean America is provinging enough fuel for it self with hughe
untapped resoirces avsailable. Tell OPEC and ICE Traders to take a hike.
Reorganize American extraction, refinning and distrbution in America for
Americans. Remember SOHIO?
The price of food comes down. Taxes go down. Fuel goes way down. Other
resources become cheaper. The dollar goes dramatically higher. Wages and
benefits such as tax advantaged health care from Employer and pension
plans. Regulate the market to serve Americans rather than the Supplier
Side economy where they regulate the market or plntatation to serve them.
A Corporation of more than one person is not a Individual. A Foriegn
Corporation with token American is not an American Individual. No more
Lobbying allowed. No more one dollar one vote. Get rid of the illegal
Fed. John Kennedy was the last to try. Do it and America and the
Republic will thank you. Why should we enrich the bankers of the world
with our taxes and debt?
Public financed election campaigns only. Election season one month. One
newspaper article per, One interview per. One debate per.
Reduce salaries of Elected Officials by 50% and appointed staff and
advisers by 20%. Make Washington's health Insurance Medicare. I feel
that Washington is just as good as the rest of the Citizenry and
deserves the best Medicare give us. Staff autos limited to a midsize
car. Maybe then NHYSA would design a real midsize car.
Tell the Marxist to suck an egg the debt is canceled because of their
aggression and five 100 kt bombs are in orbit over their key targets so
play nice.
Any Government Agency head that authorizes buying Chinese or other
foreign goods when American goods are available should be fired.
No more Chinesee memntoes of Gettysburg or Chinese clothing in PX and Bx
and Navy Stores.
Give Taiwan two defense systems for each one it buys or ask for.
Build 3 more carrier groups and six more next class of nuclear
submarines. Tripple munnition stickpiles as we seem to run out eve over
some little show like Libyia.
Bring back the Draft for Men only. 6 months basic I year AIT 6 years
committment with ten years in active reserves.
