Entitlement Reform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An entitlement is a guarantee of access to benefits based on established rights or by legislation. A "right" is itself an entitlement associated with a moral or social principle, such that an "entitlement" is a provision made in accordance with legal framework of a society. Typically, entitlements are laws based on concepts of principle ("rights") which are themselves based in concepts of social equality or enfranchisement.

In a casual sense, the term "entitlement" refers to a notion or belief that one (or oneself) is deserving of some particular reward or benefit^[1]—if given without deeper legal or principled cause, the term is often given with pejorative connotation (e.g. a "sense of entitlement").

    Now that is a glaring meaning for the word you hear in the news today Entitlements. What they fail to tell you is the part where they made it a law over 70 years ago to make you pay into them with a promise that when you are older and you have worked all you life, that money was suppose to help you live out the rest of your life. Now the only part of the meaning at the top of the page is benefits based on rights legislation. Well that was not the true intention, this system was set up to give retired people something to fall back on during retirement. It was also use as a benefit for people who became disabled during the performance of their work or of a grave illness. Now this came about because most companies did not have the means or were not required to offer these as part of the job. And through out the years it has become increasingly harder for an employer to provide such benefits. But getting back to entitlements. The only reason this has become such a compelling issue is because it deflects the blame for all this mess to someone other than the person who got us into it in the first place. And it seems to be working. Lets all get mad at retired people and disabled people. Mob mentality. But what if you gave those people the right to put their money into what ever they wanted to or would have never taken it from them in the first place. You know never came up with this Law in the first place. Hum, thats a thinker. I seen a article some years ago their was some 70 trillion dollars saved up for people who had paid into the system for more than 70 years.  To politicians this is dollar signs glimmering in their eyes. They stuck their hands in the cookie jar so many times they have ran out of money. In other words they were like robbers they knew they were not suppose to touch it (byLaw) but they found ways around that, remember they make the laws.   People, Government systems do not work they never have these people cannot run anything just look at the out come of Social Security, just one of the programs they have destroyed. By making you give them money and telling you this is for your retirement, and then using it as a political ploy to blame there unbelievable spending spree they have been on for years. Social programs that do not work, Health care that will break this country. My God people wake up learn what has gone on and Vote all these idiots out of office, and lets put some everyday americans in their place instead of lawyers and lobbyists for large companies. If a person spends hundreds of thousands of dollars for a job that pays one tenth of that there is probably a reason for it. This country has lawed us and taxed us into oblivion. Who knows what will happen but if you listen to the people in charge it seems to be the same old story lets get China to by more of our debit and kick the can down the road. 

Examples

1. Check the cost for each elected official to the taxpayer.

2. Check the benefits they received once they leave office.

3. Check how many times they have given themselves cost of living raises while telling americans they have no money to do the same for them.

4. Check the medical benefits verses everyone else.

5. Money that gets sent to other countries to prop up their economy.

6. All tax payer money.

And so on. There are so many area's that should be looked at it is not funny. I guess I am just tired of people throwing around the word entitlement reform. And it is all entitlements fault. And so one. It is a spending problem congress going wild buying, and giving away money to their favorite lobbyist and favorite bank accounts.

The 4th of July

    I start this off being a proud American, but also a 21st century Patriot. I see this country becoming more like Europe. (You know the ones we threw off the chains from). And believe it or not to become the most advanced country in the world. But there is the problem, (With great power comes greater responsibility). But not to the point of becoming the World Police. We have enough trouble at home. I read an article by Elizabeth Deckard (check out her Blog on Blog spot)about homelessness in the U.S. and it has become a major problem. But it is easy to just look the other way. We became a great country because of our love of country and others even people who live around you. This weekend most Americans will BBQ with family friends and neighbors, go see firework shows and so on. It does not have to be a one day thing just help one another even if it is just a short time. And that little step will show others it is not so bad, and maybe like a video on you tube it will become viral, who knows it is worth a shot. If we do nothing we will have dropped the ball and someone, who knows who will come in and fill the void. Because by then we will have lost all of our humanity. Lets keep this day about what it was meant for United Americans Celebrating our Independence. That is worth fighting for. And take time to help out at a homeless shelter or other charities, it is your responsibility as a human to at least try.

Celebrate Freedom now before it gets taken away.

     I wrote this in 2012, Man has a lot changed since then. I still believe that what I said back then is relevant, but so much has change it is hard to keep control of your sanity. This day was set aside to remember what it took to get here. What all of those patriots stood a fought for. And those Fathers,Mothers and Brothers and Sisters are still defending today. FREEDOM The very idea of this country from 1776 until now has become the most free and prosperous country in the world.

     We are losing those very freedoms everyday, because somewhere along the line we fell asleep at the wheel and allowed a Tyrannical Government to slide right through the door unchallenged. And to this day we just set back and piss and moan and say nothing. With attitudes like what can I do? I do not have time? Oh just give it time it will all work out. Good Grief!!!!!!!!

     Fight back Educate yourself, fight unjust laws and government tyranny, because if you do not, nothing will change, it will only fade away into the night with your freedoms right behind them. By then it will be too late to take a stand. I will end with a statement I have not heard since the 1970's  because of the creeping in of Tyranny.


MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL WHO DWELL WITHIN HER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Climate Change

     Climate Science, this is a contradiction in terms. I watched a video today that has been feed to our kids. It bothers me very much that no one will ask any questions about the results of climate science. Al Gore, the big winner in this whole thing (you know the inventor of the internet), getting paid back because he did not become President. The movie he made indoctrinated millions. This whole scheme is about carbon credits, thats all, they just found a new way to screw people and companies out of more money. But this time they are bold enough to just come right out and do it. They know you will not ask questions because people are paid to shout you down make you look like an idiot. To think that man in his all out wisdom controls little old earth like it is our little whipping boy is absurd. The stories that we are the reason for all extinctions that have occurred are laughable at best. The fact that every day 25 different species vanish off the face of the earth is cause by humans is just a God complex. The fact that the earth has been around for around 4.5 billion years and we have been on it for some 100.000 to maybe 200.000 years, and only 200 years of that have been industrialized. To think humans have and can impact a planet of this size and scope is a pure God complex, meaning that we are the givers and takers of everything. Tell that to the 250.000 people who lost their lives because mother earth decided to move 3 inches (Haiti) . Tell the people that in South America when the buildings came tumbling down during there earth quake. Oh How about the Christchurch Quake, And do not forget about the Japan Quake. This is a span of a year. Just go back and look at what has happen in the last year, more than a million people have died because of natural disasters. And in no case I can see where man had a hand in any of it. As a matter of fact we stood their in awe of the events that unfolded. To think we understand or comprehend any of it is purely a God complex. In the time the earth has been around 90% of its life has in some way become extinct. Even the mighty Dinosaur had no chance. So where the Hell do we think we are so special. We are but a pinhead in the vastness of the ocean. We are a speck in time. And instead of being good to each other we find ways to screw each other out of money, property and each others lives. We kill people in the name of Religion, and we still do not know what that is even about. And to have an opinion on any of these things your are either accepted by a group or shouted down by the other.

     In the grand scheme of things I am just happy to have been part of this miracle of life. I am enjoying my time here and I too will pass, and the cycle will repeat itself. The earth will still be here long after I am gone and long after humans are gone.

Illegal Immigration in the U.S.

     Well lets get started on the basics.

1. 113 billion dollars: the cost. 75% of this is absorbed by the states.
2. 52 billion The cost of educating the children.
3. 2.700 dollars The average dollar amount a single illegal cost the government.
4. 51% of Mexican immigrant households that use at least one major welfare program.
5. 28% use more than one.
6. 1.4 million use Food stamps. WIC,School lunches,Medicaid,TANF,Public housing,SSI

     Now just a little on the dark side:
1. In 2001 undocumented criminals in Federal prisons alone 42.424.
2. in 2004 that number went to 48.708.
3. The cost in 2001 was 950 million.
4. The cost in 2004 was 1.2 billion.

     Now these are just numbers, but when you look at the budget battle going on in this country you cannot discount the fact that illegal immigration is a huge problem in this country. As Americans we have good hearts but we are going in the wrong direction when it comes to this problem. Now do not get me wrong I believe in immigration, but legally. We talk about when pulled over by the police, when they ask for proof of citizenship, is this a bad thing. If you go to any south American country they do that everywhere. They do this all over the world. But, ok I will digress on this. If you are caught in Mexico illegally the punishment is harsh as  it is in most if not all south American countries. Why no outcry in this country about this. The President of Mexico comes to America and tells us our laws are too harsh on illegals, while in his own country they are twice as bad.

     Well dancing around this problem is not going to get us nowhere. Illegal immigration is a hugh problem in this country, it cost an atrocious amount of money. We have to stop being so damn politically correct and face this problem head on. Now a days it comes up during Presidential elections and local elections. These people running for these offices are going to lie to you about their view, they will tell you only what is popular at the time. My God if you add up the amount of money we spend on this problem and paying all this money to other countries to prop up their own governments, which is in the hundreds of billions a year. If you want to fix this country and get it back on the right track stop this madness.

     The reason why the greatest generation of the 1920's through the 1960' is over.  This country in world war two pulled together like no other country in modern history. This country innovated and built technology and a mutual respect for one another. Not so much now. We have broken off in splinter groups like blacks against whites, hispanics against blacks, gay against straight, rich against poor, and so on if you look hard enough their is a group for anything now a days. When did we stop being Americans? Now we are Asian Americans, Indian Americans, African Americans, and so on. We have political alliances Spanish Caucus a Black Caucus and so on, by the way their is no white caucus. Hum wonder why. Do you think its because it might inflame one of the groups of people I talked about above. Maybe, who knows.


     If you want to stop this problem use your head, "its that thing 3 fT above your ass". We need to stop this political correctness BS, and face this problem head on. I went through the Tornados here in Alabama and I have seen the best in America taking care of their own. Black, white,hispanic,asian, it did not matter we all flew the U.S. flag, pitched in and helped each other and were Americans first. So I know we have it in us to do so. But you have to avoid the groups who try to separate us from each other by race and religion, and so on. Stand up for yourself and your country and we will make it through this. The reason why this is the greatest country in the world is because we look out for each other. Not so much anymore, we have begun thinking we can fix everyone else. We need to fix our self first, deal with the problems we have right here in our own country. I have seen devastation here in Alabama like I have never seen before but I have seen brotherhood and sisterhood like I have never seen before. During this time of devastation I did see a glimmer of the Greatest Generation. We need to build on that.
