DC Govt Jobs Hiring Boom goes into high Gear

The ONLY sector of the economy that is doing well is the taxpayer supported sector.

The taxpaying sector is, on the other hand, contracting.

"We're expanding," said Holder, the FDA's assistant commissioner for management, who is among representatives from numerous federal agencies trying to figure out how the government can fill an estimated 600,000 positions over the next few years.

After falling for two consecutive months, the unemployment rate in the metropolitan region rose to 6.2 percent in May from 5.7 percent in April. The figure, which is not seasonally adjusted, is the highest rate for May since recordkeeping began in 1990. (The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised the April figure from 5.6 percent.)

$3.5 Billion for ONE Cap and Trade Vote

They finally secured the vote of one Ohioan, veteran Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Toledo, the old-fashioned way. They gave her what she wanted - a new federal power authority, similar to Washington state's Bonneville Power Administration, stocked with up to $3.5 billion in taxpayer money available for lending to renewable energy and economic development projects in Ohio and other Midwestern states.

House Energy and Commerce Chairman Henry A. Waxman, California Democrat, included the Kaptur project in a 310-page amendment to the legislation unveiled at 3 a.m. Friday, just hours before the bill was to be debated on the House floor. The amendment was packed with other vote-getting provisions, both large and small, that had been sought by dozens of wavering Democrats.

Barack Obama lied about not raising Taxes

We know it, he knows it, the press knows it. Obama NEVER meant to keep this campaign promise which he repeated over and over and over and over. Each time he knew it was a lie. It was presented as a solemn promise but it was nothing more than empty, meaningless campaign rhetoric and he knew it.

Would DHS classify TN Constitution a terrorist document?

Would the Department of Homeland Security classify the Tennessee Constitution as a terrorist document?

Article I, Section I is often cited by liberty lovers because it says "the people...have an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper."

Article I, Section II goes even further, condemning anyone who does not resist arbitrary power and oppression.

The authors of the Tennessee Constitution lay a heavy trip on us folks just trying to make our way in this crazy world.

Article I
Sec. 1. All power inherent in the people — Government under their control. —

That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety, and happiness; for the advancement of those ends they have at all times, an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, reform, or abolish the government in such manner as they may think proper.


Sec. 2. Doctrine of nonresistance condemned. —

That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of non-resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
