Lovie Smith should be canned immediately for his incompetance running an NFL team and pushing out the best defensive coordinator in the league at the time Ron Rivera. I have a feeling that a 6-10 season awaits.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">"Inherit the Wind" is another great movie i have watched lately. The summary is Teacher B.T. Cates is arrested for teaching Darwin's theories. Famous lawyer Henry Drummond defends him; fundamentalist politician Matthew Brady prosecutes. This is a very thinly disguised rendition of the 1925 "Scopes monkey trial" with debates between Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan taken largely from the transcripts. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have written a letter to the editor at our Holland Sentinel to respond to a conservative viewpoint on Obama and his administration. Here is the link to the first letter which i think is an unjustified angry rant further pushing people apart and painting conservative views in a bad light.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here is my response hopefully to be in the paper soon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A Conservative response to Thomas Dunkelbergers letter</div><br />
<br />
Whether or not you agree with Obama on the executive orders he has issued regarding gitmo and the detention of terrorists, you should acknowledge he is enacting the change he campaigned and was elected on. Does closing Gitmo in anyway threaten American lives here or overseas and take away our greatness? No. Our greatness is determined by more than one action of any President and the prisoners will still be locked up somewhere else posing no threat. <br />
<br />
Will cutting the F-22's budget of almost 2 billion next year put a dent in our defense budget or compromise American lives? No. Our military budget next year is around 700 billion dollars which is close to 10 times the budget of the next highest spending Chinese military. On fiscal responsibility, that we Conservatives trumpet on about needs to include our defense budget, and not just give it a free pass.<br />
<br />
Did anything Obama do allow "Fort Hood" or the "Christmas" bomber to happen? No. Their evil actions were horrible. Blaming anything they have done on a lack of policy or action by the president is akin to blaming Bush for 9/11. The records show that his superiors dropped the ball on the Ft. Hood shooter and his failures leading up to the shooting were documented, but the need of counselors was so high they could not let him go.<br />
<br />
Giving habeas corpus to the terrorists as well as spending any amount of money to defend them is something I have a hard time swallowing and would rather have them put through military trial. Though in giving them habeas corpus I will agree that we show a greater respect for life and justice than the enemy combatants ever would and public opinion does matter. If the world sees us as an honorable nation that treats POW's better than our enemies do and changes some perceptions I would not be too upset.<br />
<br />
Will ending the don't ask, don't tell policy be detrimental to our troops in the field or at home? I don't know since I have no military background, but when the highest ranking officer in the Armed Forces Admiral Mike Mullen says it will not, I trust his experience and will concur.<br />
<br />
I will end with a personal message to my Conservative Brethren. To truly affect our country we must find common ground with people across the aisle. We all want the same America, a land of opportunity and freedom but have different ideas on how to get to that place. Our current policy of making every single vote and bill a fight by drawing a line in the sand is detrimental because it is not only hurting our country, it is also hurting our cause and each one of us. Instead of sowing mistrust and lies we should be cultivating issues we agree on and find compromise. If after the next election things "Change" and we are in the majority again we will see how our attitude these four years will come back and haunt us.Jonathan Rodriguezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17018871644352601543noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361820448113002939.post-44548405642977270452010-02-01T16:34:00.000-05:002010-02-01T18:29:19.503-05:00Health Care Conservative?<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/S2dL9csQCpI/AAAAAAAAARQ/MCgU0td2rIU/s1600-h/elmer.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433394994491689618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 91px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 129px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/S2dL9csQCpI/AAAAAAAAARQ/MCgU0td2rIU/s400/elmer.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Wow.... Elmer Gantry. Incredible movie that not only stands the test of time, but demands you treat the main character as a human with real problems. I cannot say enough about how great the acting was by Burt Lancaster and Arthur Kennedy was, it is now in my top 10 movies of all time.</div><br /><br /><div>I have thought a long time over the question " Is Health Care a basic human right." My answer has become an unenthusiastic yes. I will tell you how i came to this conclusion after many months of questioning, but the tipping point of this all is that in no other industrialized country are people declaring bankruptcy from medical bills other than us. How many did we have last year alone.... over 70,000 people said i dont have enough money to either pay for insurance to cover myself or i do not have enough money to pay for an operation or visit to keep me healthy.</div><div></div><div>Can we create a system that not only covers more people but also reduce the cost for us all? If we can how would either side say no to it? This is my plan....</div><div></div><div>The first part of the problem is the financial quagmire we are stuck in that is a product of our current and last administration. How will we pay for this? The only answers we are given at the moment are increasing taxes on the top wage earners or making insurance mandatory for all. With one we are increasing taxes on an already highly taxed group and the other is considered unconstitutional by some for taking a choice away from a citizen. What i propose is something altogether different, we could keep our choice of health care insurance or not as well as afford to not increase our taxes on the higher earning americans. We keep the health care industry a for profit but make the health insurance industry non profit. The part of the equation that we want to keep on the leading edge of innovation and technology stays motivated by being private for profit entities and give us actual tangible benefits of the care itself, but the insurance companies whose motivation should be approving claims not finding new ways to deny them would become non profits. We are the only country in the world where insurance companies profit off basic health care.</div><div></div><div>The immediate positive would be taking 20% of every dollar we spend on health insurance would go from marketing, paperwork and claims adjusting and decreasing it to the average of 5% on every dollar. That would save Americans 300 billion a year right off the bat on health insurance costs which could be used for not only covering anyone without coverage(because of pre existing conditions or not enough money) but decrease the cost of health insurance for everyone. How is it that other countries are running such efficient models of health care which is a giant part of our budget and we are not? Germany, Canada, Taiwan, Japan, and the Netherlands all run with not only less overhead to lower costs but also save money by not having an entire division of their insurance companies dedicated to denying claims.</div><div></div><div>Americans have a habit of taking constructive criticism personally, on a national and individual level. Hearing that we are not the leader in anything stirs up passion and pride in a country that we love which is a great feeling. We can take this as a challenge to better ourselves and our nation or let our passion and pride take us down a road that is filled with the status quo. We are going to have to pay for anyone that goes into the hospital for care if they have insurance or not, so why not let us create a system that is the most cost effective and benefit as a country instead of going the way of the automobile and see other countries leave us in the dust.</div><div></div><div></div>Jonathan Rodriguezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17018871644352601543noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361820448113002939.post-58118611876091558112010-02-01T01:37:00.000-05:002010-02-01T01:52:37.106-05:002009One whole year with the little mister and it couldnt have gone any faster.

Baby Caleb Pictures will be scattered throughout and we have some really good ones so dont stop till the end.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295866173203417554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SX6yOc_MCdI/AAAAAAAAANw/6mXfb_AWZSE/s400/1-26-09+083.JPG" border="0" />1. Dean's basement playing Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo after middle school was out. This was the first time i played a video game and completely dominated someone else, even though i had never played before. An addiction was born.<br /><br /><div><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295864062269017986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SX6wTlJNT4I/AAAAAAAAAM4/YDDgD9oSDE0/s400/1-26-09+030.JPG" border="0" />2. Dean has a great nickname. The Asian Sensation, or Eggroll Express.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SX6yOLqKj4I/AAAAAAAAANo/wwfKyOgXgYY/s1600-h/1-26-09+089.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295866168551837570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SX6yOLqKj4I/AAAAAAAAANo/wwfKyOgXgYY/s400/1-26-09+089.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />3. Dean was amazing at many facets of the game of basketball. His lasting memory on the court will be coming up on a fast break and within seconds of getting a pass running behind the 3 point line and launching the Trifecta. It was just like Pippen would do on a fast break. Money.</div><div><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SX6yNy3KrUI/AAAAAAAAANg/5u9iZTFABXo/s1600-h/1-26-09+097.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295866161895484738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SX6yNy3KrUI/AAAAAAAAANg/5u9iZTFABXo/s400/1-26-09+097.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />4. We were sitting in the Hansens basement Ramming around one night, when Nate came down to tell us that Dean was in an accident and everything got silent(I believe this is how it happened. i could be wrong). I remember praying for him at school that semester. Seeing him come home after that was heart warming, cause you have to love dean.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SX6yNq7C4jI/AAAAAAAAANY/K7mg5YSNocE/s1600-h/1-26-09+127.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295866159764267570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SX6yNq7C4jI/AAAAAAAAANY/K7mg5YSNocE/s400/1-26-09+127.JPG" border="0" /></a> 5.

I starting playing baseball again and was pitching for the Blue Jays in the NABA.

September 2nd was the happiest day of the year. The little man came out after 60 hours of back labor and had a conehead plus blonde hair and blue eyes. I was in the room and now cannot understand why women would ever have children. We moved to West Sacramento into a new condo with more room so he could have his own playroom and the cats have more room to run around.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVcdDchpbII/AAAAAAAAALA/jB3pPYLkVOc/s1600-h/december+visit2+036.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284724632776699010" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVcdDchpbII/AAAAAAAAALA/jB3pPYLkVOc/s400/december+visit2+036.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVcdCw3ay9I/AAAAAAAAAK4/hsx9vDEZyc0/s1600-h/december+visit2+020.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284724621056854994" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVcdCw3ay9I/AAAAAAAAAK4/hsx9vDEZyc0/s400/december+visit2+020.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVccA6FdZMI/AAAAAAAAAKw/ZQ1F5risJVo/s1600-h/december+visit2+017.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284723489660298434" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVccA6FdZMI/AAAAAAAAAKw/ZQ1F5risJVo/s400/december+visit2+017.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVccAjMoLXI/AAAAAAAAAKo/H9ZPFsY5Ca0/s1600-h/december+visit2+008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284723483516349810" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVccAjMoLXI/AAAAAAAAAKo/H9ZPFsY5Ca0/s400/december+visit2+008.JPG" /></a> In the winter we had Caleb dedicated at Graces home church Good Samaritan in Valley Springs. He has grown very much since his birth, he is now over 22 pounds and has not reached 4 months. His 3 loves in life are eating, talking gibberish, and waking up his momma. Grace has been accepted into a couple Med Schools and now is deciding where she wants to go. Merry Christmas to everyone.<br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVccALYnnqI/AAAAAAAAAKg/bDnVDOLShQ0/s1600-h/december+visit+047.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284723477124193954" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVccALYnnqI/AAAAAAAAAKg/bDnVDOLShQ0/s400/december+visit+047.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVcb_wdfK0I/AAAAAAAAAKY/iHOMIXm84og/s1600-h/december+visit+038.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284723469896854338" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVcb_wdfK0I/AAAAAAAAAKY/iHOMIXm84og/s400/december+visit+038.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVcb_mtaAgI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/q04KjZsaHOg/s1600-h/december+visit+001.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284723467279270402" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SVcb_mtaAgI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/q04KjZsaHOg/s400/december+visit+001.JPG" /></a> </div><div><br /> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jonathan Rodriguezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17018871644352601543noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361820448113002939.post-12849396387845429342008-12-07T23:25:00.000-05:002008-12-08T00:41:23.208-05:00Osama Bin-Hansen???<div>This is an actual photo of Heath Hansen....</div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/STyiHwO2ezI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/gWJqL_mmTtE/s1600-h/osama_cub_fan.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277271117461355314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 194px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 223px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/STyiHwO2ezI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/gWJqL_mmTtE/s400/osama_cub_fan.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><div>The stories of Heathcliffe Hansen are Multifaceted...i will now explain the unexplainable..in easy to understand numbered points to get to the bottom of what he was CREATED to become...</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>1. His Bionic Knee - In an effort to cover up his Bionic upgrades, the Taliban engineered a ruse so that "Heaths" recovery would be overlooked, an extremely large 28 year old man substituted at catcher on an opposing baseball team and while Heath was on third, and he was sent home on an infield pop up....and every baseball lover knows that you would never try to score on a sacrifice fly to the second baseman.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>2. Unnaturally low voice in 7th grade - When Heath came to school that year his voice was somewhere between James Earl Jones and an emphysema patient. What really happened was he turned 19 that year.... he was really 6 years older than his "brothers" How you ask?? His mother was blackmailed into telling all her neighbors by the Taliban that she was having 3 children, when in fact that day in Holland Hospital only 2 children were born....</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>3. 98% of his Body is covered in hair - I have never seen his entire body but this is a computer generated image of his body, that is a "Hairrorist" if i ever saw one.</div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277277688555344722" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 222px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 209px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/STyoGPdvk1I/AAAAAAAAAJY/24LQsWepqdE/s400/cousin_it01thumb.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><p>4. Athletic Ability that know no bounds - I have never once seen Luke or Lee foul out of a basketball game on 6 straight charges in the first quarter, the only one is the so called "Hansen" Heath, and the only reason is the other 9 players couldn't keep up with him because he was always 8 to 10 years older than everyone else. It was probably lonely being so advanced at such a young age, and eerily sad for him leading to this fact...</p><p>5. He listened to the song Strawberry Wine for 9 consecutive months - No self respecting Dutch Man would listen to such a sad, gay, womanly song on the premise that it was "stuck in his CD player" but an Arab would...</p><p>6. He is a Cubs fan - Cheering on a team that will never win a world series with the slogan Wait till next year is akin to believing that strapping a bomb on your body and pressing a button will give you an eternity of 77 virgins.... both are as likely as pigs flying.</p><p> </p><p>So the real question is, Was Heath created to be an assassin, father assassins, bring the American sports landscape to a halt by giving bad therapy to athletes, create a false life for Osama Bin Ladin to step into and hide, or can he de-program himself and the years of indoctrination and live a happy normal life?? We may never know till its too late.</p>Jonathan Rodriguezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17018871644352601543noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361820448113002939.post-87062868569853195482008-11-22T03:43:00.000-05:002008-11-22T05:16:18.889-05:00WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO LUKE HANSEN!!!!This is a computer generated photo of the events that happened in front of the house of Dave and Diane Hansen in the Spring of 1998..What follows are the accounts of REAL people not trained actors...(If you are looking for Baby Photos Scroll to the end.)<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SSfQtS454xI/AAAAAAAAAJI/Mz-1n9jK7hY/s1600-h/The+game2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271411365443658514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 670px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 470px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SSfQtS454xI/AAAAAAAAAJI/Mz-1n9jK7hY/s400/The+game2.jpg" border="0" /></a>What happened this day has forever changed the life of the middle child of Dave and Diane Hansen....LUCAS!!!! If he woke this eventful daying know how it would end he never would have put on one of his many mono colored collared shirts and got ready for school by making his younger and naive brothers sandwich on orders from his MOTHER!!! The trouble really started to happen while driving home from school in his small red nissan......<br /><br />Jon said " I am so good at basketball that even you and your height challenged hairy younger brother couldnt beat me two on one"<br /><br />Luke " Its not fair that i have to have Heath on my team... at least let me have Dean who reminds everyone of a young Tim Hardaway with his penchant for knocking down the 3 when needed most"<br /><br />Jon " Its no fair, whoever has Dean on their team would win hands down, so lets make it even, you have Heath and i get Mike Wittigan (editors note - this was after mike was in the head thingee that held his neck and head on straight for a while so his athletic ability was limited but unbeknownst to us he had trained hard on his game below the rim so his shot and Defense was greatly increased( editors note on editors note - My father did not play him nearly enough in 76er basketball and i can only hope that this drove him to excel like michael jordan getting cut from his high school team.)) And mike i still have your bat in my trunk.<br /><br />The GAME BEGINS......<br /><br />Mike W. "Using a move i would like to call the missed shot slammrammaroo,me and Jon started out the game hot and built a solid lead. I remember the taste of victory and the smell of perfectly manicured grass intermingled like it was yesterday."<br /><br />Luke" All i remember was my dreams being suffocated by this beautiful and long limbed puerto ricans defense, Oh yeah and Heath pissed himself."<br /><br />Heath " I totally pissed myself"<br /><br />Jon " Heath pissed all over himself, i remember cause i was hanging from the rim above him and you could hear Mrs Hansen yelling out the window STOP BANGING"<br /><br />Game Ends 11 - 3 Jon Mike wins!!<br /><br />Mike " I talked to Luke earlier that day and he was all set on becoming a Pro Basketball Player and Marrying some underclassmen, After that game he walked off the court mumbling something about now he has to be a Surveyor....What the Hell is a Surveyor??? Just google map something if you need to find it, am i right ??"<br /><br />Heath " That night the moon was red with blood and at 3 in the morning i woke and found Luke standing above me softly brushing my hair and all i could smell was fear"<br /><br />Luke " I love my life and surveying is what i wanted.......<br /><br />I cant tell you what might have happened to Luke if he hadnt played in the game that day, what i can tell you is this, Jodi would have still married him.. Im not saying she would have stalked him, but when she would look at him, It was like the Sharks in Finding Nemo... Her eyes would dilate and the hunt was on....<br /><br />Please comment on who you would like to see next in this blog......<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SSfQm_KXPsI/AAAAAAAAAJA/sssdzJv_W5g/s1600-h/The+game2.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SSfPhmZm8yI/AAAAAAAAAI4/4YzGeLk7Gdw/s1600-h/THE+GAME.jpg"></a><br />BABY CALEB IS FAT<br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SSfHa36lQMI/AAAAAAAAAIw/Y7oTvnKuKL8/s1600-h/11-09-08+284.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271401153360642242" style="DISPLAY: block;

Because they want campaign donations. Polls show Americans don't like the idea of public funding for House and Senate elections, because it seems like a giveaway. But the public already funds congressional elections, just in an incredibly overpriced, inefficient way. Members of the House and Senate give away billions of dollars in subsidies and tax breaks to special-interest groups, in order to get back thousands of dollars in campaign donations. The $150 billion or so in sweetheart handouts in the bailout legislation will probably result in several million additional dollars given to House and Senate members as campaign donations. It would be far, far cheaper for taxpayers just to fund congressional campaigns! Suppose the public funded each House race at $1 million (435 races every second year) split between the parties, and each Senate race at $5 million split (roughly 34 races every second year), then banned campaign contributions. (Skip whether the Supreme Court would allow the latter, this is a thought experiment.) The cost would be about $600 million every second year, when there are national elections. That's peanuts compared to the amounts House and Senate incumbents give away to PAC-backed lobbies in order to inspire campaign donations. Federal financing of House and Senate races would save the public tens, if not hundreds, of billions of dollars.<br /><br />Why are we here? In Part cause in april, the governors boasted about balancing their states' budgets while wagging their fingers at Washington -- yet about a fifth of the typical state's non-Medicaid revenue comes from Washington. That is, the federal government expands the national debt so that states can appear to have balanced budgets, creating a switcheroo in which taxpayers are angry at Washington when they should be angry at their statehouses.<br />Here's the update. New York state has a $6.4 billion budget shortfall in the current fiscal year, second only to California's budget problem. Recently, New York Gov. David Paterson asked the state's legislature for $1.2 billion in spending cuts -- meaning the Empire State volunteered to take responsibility for only a fraction of its self-created problem -- then called on Washington to hand Albany the rest of the money: $5.2 billion. Paterson said, "We are going to have to turn to the federal government for help." So New York is not willing to make significant spending cuts and not willing to tax itself; but perfectly happy to demand that voters in other states be taxed to bail out New York! Last week, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said the state would ask the federal government for a $7 billion loan. So California is not willing to tax itself to solve its self-created budget problems, but perfectly happy to demand that voters in other states be taxed to bail out California!<br />Perhaps this is what should be expected when Washington is so poorly run; the nation's capitol seems like little more than a giveaway machine. Yet numerous states, including Colorado, Oregon and Pennsylvania, have budgets in fine shpare because they did not overspend, as New York and California did; or saved during surplus years (all states had a combined $74 billion surplus in fiscal 2006 -- the responsible states saved some of that amount); or are not plagued by official corruption. Why should the people who live in states that spend carefully and pay their own way be compelled to subsidize government waste and kickbacks in California and New York? And why do the mainstream media continue to depict governors as fiscally paladins when so many shift their problems, and their debts, to Washington?<br />Here is evidence that the fiscal switcheroo favors governors politically. Polling data from the Pew Center shows that only 37 percent of Americans have a positive impression of the federal government, while 59 percent have a positive impression of state government. Remove the bookkeeping gimmicks that send federal money to the states and state taxes would rise while the national debt declined. Favorable-impression rankings surely would improve for Washington, while governors would decline in popularity.<br /><br />This information comes from one of my favorite columnists Greg Easterbrook.Jonathan Rodriguezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17018871644352601543noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361820448113002939.post-16516573951977503772008-10-08T11:59:00.000-04:002008-10-08T12:07:24.385-04:00Tired ParentsMommy with Baby<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jp7ZTnaisRg/SOzaBPd9oHI/AAAAAAAAAEw/kLM3cZO1wlk/s1600-h/10-07-08+016.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254814580101455986" style="DISPLAY: block;

The American Government has bitten off more than it can chew and now is choking to death on the bite. The Government can not save the world, it can only make it possible for its citizens too. The taxes that i see taken from me on a monthly basis in my mind are supposed to be paying for my representation in the government. So that if ten thousand dollars is given to the government it goes directly to paying for my rights( security, education, representation federally, and to cover expenses that come up on a local level ). It is not to pay for hundreds of social projects that have nothing to do with my interests and do not impact my life at all.<br /><br />One of my greatest pet peeves of an elected officials campaign is telling the common man that if we tax the rich and give to the poor we are doing what is right. The Robin Hood theory of the big bad rich people who have taxed, stole and pillaged what the rest of us have worked so hard to make, so they will become a modern day Robin of Locksley and take it back for the common man. It is exactly the opposite of what they are going to do, Robin Hood gave to those who were taxed too heavily, so in a sense he would be giving money back to the rich who were working hard. To make Americans who work hard and benefit for it the bad guy in this election is maddeningly upsetting. By saying these things we are going to drive people who are in charge of the big corporations into other countries that offer tax breaks and free market conditions to those who succeed.<br /><br />Success and Profit are being misportrayed as bad words today in America by people who want to socialize our country. By trying to put restrictions on success they are adding a form of Affirmitive Action in taxation form.<br /><br />You can not make everyone in America middle class like Democrats want to, you can only increase the opportunity for freedom and success for the people who want to work hard for it.Jonathan Rodriguezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17018871644352601543noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-361820448113002939.post-23486841991886156202007-11-27T23:49:00.000-05:002007-11-28T00:08:07.841-05:00Happy ThanksgivingHappy Turkey day to all.<br /><br />The combination of turkey and football is intoxicating to the senses. I spent the holiday in Paso Robles, California with my in-laws eating, sleeping in, watching pigskin, and missing the cool crisp Michigan air.

Irish, Jewish, Italian, and Polish immigrants in the past all came here for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">opportunities</span> not available in their own countries. LEGALLY. They paid the price to become part of our nation, some would tell you it is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">every one's</span> right to be here and be able to take care of themselves. It is not a right, it is a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">privilege</span> to live here and when the first step you take to come here is breaking a law that is designed to protect this country you show a lack of respect for this country.Jonathan Rodriguezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17018871644352601543noreply@blogger.com0
