Immigration.
Many immigration studies support the fact that their are some 11 million illegal immigrants in this country. By legally joining the workforce the immigrants in question would generate a much needed income tax but in the same instance they would then become eligible for a certain level of government assistance. Research shows that creating a path for citizenship for so many illegal immigrants would result in significant cost to state and local and federal governments. A 2004 study showed that illegal immigrants paying taxes and getting access to such services as Medicaid and food stamps would cost taxpayers $29 billion annually.On average the cost that illegal households impose on federal coffers are less than half of that of other households, but their tax payments are only one-fourth that of other households. All of this is in a 2004 study "The High Cost of Cheap Labor: Illegal Immigration and the Federal Budget".
As shown by the results of a study done on this subject we have to fix this problem. You cannot keep adding people to a system that cannot absorbed them. You also cannot force people in this country to be happy that they have to pay such high tax rates to support one group of people, while watching their own
countrymen go hungry and without jobs.
We as a country also cannot keep giving other
countries money to prop up their economy while
letting this one go down.
I do not profess to know all of the answers
but this direction of allowing massive immigration
influx is not the answer.

The Social Security Debate
Now I set here and watch these petty little congressman argue about how long Social Security will last. But the facts are there should have never been a problem with this program, but as usual when the government is involved you can bet your sweet ass their is someone up their on capital hill trying to find a way to get their hands on all that money that is suppose to support you in you old age.
The fact that the Government borrowed 2.7 trillion dollars from Social Security: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Security_Trust_Fund
In the story Social Security had a surplus of 2.6 tril, well that was to much money just setting their, so the Bush administration borrowed all that money and they said they would back it up with worthless Government bonds. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sen-don-riegle/post_1901_b_845106.html
When it comes to adding to the deficit all you have to do is look, had they not borrowed the money in the first place it would still be their. But they were like drunken monkeys, they just had to spend that money.
During the same time period in which Social Security was building a surplus the federal budget was more often in deficit than not, as shown above: Think About It.
Why do some people describe the "special issue" securities held by the trust funds as worthless IOUs? What is SSA's reaction to this criticism?
Money flowing into the trust funds is invested in U. S. Government securities. Because the government spends this borrowed cash, some people see the trust fund assets as an accumulation of securities that the government will be unable to make good on in the future. Without legislation to restore long-range solvency of the trust funds, redemption of long-term securities prior to maturity would be necessary.
Far from being "worthless IOUs," the investments held by the trust funds are backed by the full faith and credit of the U. S. Government. The government has always repaid Social Security, with interest. The special-issue securities are, therefore, just as safe as U.S. Savings Bonds or other financial instruments of the Federal government.
Now ending my rant on this subject How much of this Government bullshit do you believe? The credit of the U.S. Government is worthless Shit. They took the money and now blame everyone else for the problem, with words like entitlement and so fourth. Had any American done this outside of Government they would be jailed. But these butt heads set on their golden thrones blaming everyone but themselves.
The definition of insanity is hiring the same people over and over expecting a different result. But I think we have let it go on for so long we will never find away out. What come's next is Pain. All of the Americans that stood by and said nothing should not bitch about anything. You set back and let it happen to yourselves.
You voted for change and now your going to get it.

Just a Thought: Every Day People

Every Day People
One of the things that makes me ill is the lack of common sense people have now a days. If you ask someone a fairly reasonable question you get in return a nonsensical answer. I have watched some videos today where people were asked questions about their own country such as (Will sequestration help or hurt South America) The answers given were mind blowing ranging from "I think they have the right to do so". WHAT? The questions had gotten even easier such as "What did you think about the debates between the first ladies?" Those answers were even more mind blowing. You would figure that people in this country would know some of these easy question, For one reason every person you see has a tablet or a phone or a computer in their faces most of the day. What the hell are they reading?
Well it does not just end their I deal with people everyday and for the most part everything goes well but their is that few that has that world entitlement mentality about them that just kills me. We have people come into this RV park that we are at right now that travel all the time. Some have no trouble get their hook up right and put the RV's in the right spot and then we have the entitled ones who think as soon as they pull up that that somehow the RV Park is suppose to just magically set up their rig for them. One in particular today a person pulled in and parked their travel trailer at a 35% angle in a parallel spot. And then when was asked to move it over had every excuse under the sun for why it was everyone else's fault it ended up that way, mind you that of 50 RV's in the park their's was the only one that was 35% off center. This in itself was not so bad but this person has done this for several years, but I found out that because she knows the owner they could pretty much park anyway they wanted inconveniencing others because they feel they have that right.
Not a very good day. I think I have just run into a quagmire of ignorance. Maybe it's just me.
