I read yesterday that the current Obama induced deficit and future interest will amount to approximately $10 trillion dollars, which is roughly $50,000 per tax paying American.   Rather than waste all this money, perhaps the government should give the money directly to the tax payers.  

Congress needs to pass the Common Sense for America Act and provide a one time payment of $50,000 to everyone who paid taxes in 2008.   If you didn’t pay taxes you get nothing! Sorry, but you gotta pay to play this game.   

The conditions of the payment are that each recipient purchase one American vehicle, pay off their credit card debt and then use the rest to purchase whatever they so desire.   My guess is that this would do far more to stimulate the economy than the eight dollar pittance Obama returned to Americans under the guise of a tax cut.

Perhaps the Republican Party can use the Common Sense for America Act to highlight what has gone so wrong since Democrats took over.   It can be a bully pulpit to expose the true agenda of the left who seek to silence free speech with the incidious fairness doctrine or tax away our right to defend our loved ones with bills designed to eliminate the right to purchase ammunition.   

The fact of the matter is that common sense does still exist in America, it just doesn’t’ exist inside the beltway where terrorists, murderers and pedophiles have more rights than innocent children and Christian Americans. 

My guess is that a Common Sense for America Act could single handedly undo the liberal agenda for a generation.   It would reflect the values held by Americans who believe in God, family values, economic freedom and individual liberty; you know the values held by the founders of our nation.  

It is time that we all band together and demand that the Congress which claims to represent the people do something for the people of this country, rather than bowing at the altar of those who seek to destroy us.   

The CIA is releasing memos confirming that Nancy Pelosi knew about the use of waterboarding as an interrogation tactic back in September, 2002.   This, of course, means that she has been lying for the past seven years.  

Obama is seeking to cut $17 billion dollars out of the budget that now tops $3.4 trillion.   Let’s put this into perspective.   This is like you or I spending $1000 dollars and saving a nickel. It’s a pittance.   Making matters worse are where the cuts are coming, such as funds for the wives and children of slain police officers.   Mind you, there’s still over 44,000 worthless government programs and millions of equally worthless bureaucrats which will still exist next year. 

Obama’s pals in theTaliban are slowly but surely gaining control of Pakistan, a nation that does possess nuclear weapons.   If I recall it was team Obama’s suggestion that Pakistan play nice with the terrorists and give them some territory as a form of appeasement. How’s that working out for ya’ Barry?

The administration has set aside $50 million dollars to bring Guantanamo detainees to a town near you. Wouldn’t a few rounds of slugs be a tad bit cheaper? 

With Chrysler on the verge of bankruptcy a new deal worked out between the government and the unions gives them 6 of the 9 votes on the board of directors.   Think about that, the folks behind the failed government schools, outsourcing of jobs overseas and workplace intimidation tactics are now going to be in charge of building American cars.   I guess it’s time to buy a Honda.

Liberals are slobbering in anticipation of Obama’s new Supreme Court nominee.   Rather than focusing on someone with Constitutional knowledge they are trying to figure out which demographic is most underrepresented on the court.   Perhaps they should consider Consuelo Washington-Chao a wheel chair bound half black, half Hispanic gay female who illegally came to America from Mexico and married her Asian lover Ching Chao.   I realize she’s not a lawyer, but that really doesn’t matter in the world according to liberals.  

It is truly amazing how much damage one administration can do in such a short period of time.   The liberals have been in charge for less than six months and America is on its way to becoming a complete and utter failure.  The economy continues to decline with another 37,000 jobs lost last month.    With the administration’s latest round of bailouts they have assured the bankruptcy of our nation within a generation and have guaranteed the return of double digit interest rates.   Yet the idiot electorate walks around drooling at the thought of what their messiah and his disciples can provide for them next.   Is the general public really this stupid? 

Rather than spending $3.4 trillion dollars, which equals roughly $30,000 for actual taxpayers, how about returning that money to its rightful owners.   We’ll decide how it’s spent and you learn to live within your means.   If we decide to keep the money then you start shuttering worthless government operations and  government funded special interests like your pals at ACORN and La Raza. 

Isn’t it amazing how far a little common sense goes.

The Oklahoma legislature has voted to declare sovereignty under the 10^th Amendment to the Constitution.   This comes just weeks after Texas governor Rick Perry made the same declaration of his state’s right to secede.  Given our nation is no more as the result of northeast and west coast liberals, it is time that we wholeheartedly support the efforts of those who strive for economic freedom and individual liberty.  All I can say is that I am glad that Texas and Oklahoma have a lot of open space because they should expect a huge influx of people if they can pull this off.  I've got a call into Allied Van Lines today!

While common sense seems to prevail in the south central portion of America, the idiots in the nation of New England are at it again with Maine and New Hampshire getting ready to permit gay marriage. Mind you, this was done with legislative fiat without the vote of the people. My guess is if the people had their say so, which they won’t, they would do precisely what Californians did last year and defeat the nonsensical notion that marriage is anything other than the way God intended; between man and woman. 

The number of unemployed is up yet again. Guess this stimulus package is really working wonders on the economy.   Hey, at least the welfare rolls continue to grow which should ensure Democrats another good round of elections.   Did you ever wonder what our Congress would look like if only tax paying Americans were permitted to vote? 

Have you heard that 6 of the 9 new board members on Chrysler will either be government or union appointees? Considering liberals and unions have destroyed our schools, forced manufacturing overseas and undermined free enterprise I give the company six months to die a slow and miserable death under the guidance of the truly incompetent.  Ditto for GM which is really nothing more than a health care administrator that just so happens to make some cars on the side.  

Rather than throwing good money after bad what if the government were to give money only to those who paid taxes.   No more money to GM, AIG or ACORN. No more money to illegal aliens or terrorists. With 140 million tax payers, the government could give every one of them 100,000 dollars which equals about 14 trillion in total expenditure. Given the trillions already spent, this is actually doable.   Let Americans decide what to do with the money with the stipulation that at least 50% must go to paying down debt and 25% going to purchasing of products made in America. There’s no doubt in my mind this would result in the greatest period of economic growth since the days of Ronald Reagan.  

Of course this won’t happen because we all know that of the 140 million Americans that pay taxes most are conservative and government handouts are all about buying Democrat votes which come from the uneducated and uninformed.   So rather than get our nation on track, the liberals in Washington would rather have us wallow in economic misery just as long as they have their jobs…oh yes and their AIG backed pensions. 

Isn’t it amazing how common sense can fix everything? I think someone once wrote a book about it. Maybe it’s time for a 2009 version because it is greatly lacking inside the beltway.
