Democrat’s & New Labour’s March Away From Democracy
Posted by: | CommentsFun with audio time. What a suprise. The U.S. Democrats’ UK counterpart party, the New Labour party, opposes Conservative Party Leader David Cameron’s call for a general election.
How’s that for a march away from democracy?
Don’t ask Obama. Government’s taking over business and punishing the productive.
This the open that will be used for the next PodCast, which should be up Saturday night. This clip has Rep. Ted Poe, Barack Obama, Rep. Ron Paul, Prime Minster Brown, Conservative Party Leader David Cameron and Dick Cheney.
Rep. Ted Poe
Mr. Speaker, the Federal Government has gotten into the business of picking winners and losers in the automobile industry. The government has decided that GM is a winner and Chrysler is a loser unless Chrysler obeys the federal government and partners with Italian carmaker Fiat to begin producing Chrysler Fiat at automobiles.
Since when, Mr. Speaker, did the federal government get the authority to fire CEO’s of private companies and take over their businesses? Well, the Feds did just that by taking control of GM and Chrysler. Now we should change the name of both companies to “Government Motors.”
If you like the way Uncle Sam runs government businesses like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Post Office, FEMA and the IRS, you will love the new Government Motors automobile.
The Federal Government is picking winners in the auto industry with taxpayer bailout money. We don’t need any more bailouts. The government spends too much, borrows too much, taxes too much. The government needs to stop cutting deals with special interest groups and start cutting taxes for Americans.
And that’s just the way it is.

World Bailouts & Stimulus Despite Conservatives’ Warnings
Posted by: | CommentsHello everyone – We continue to follow the globe of world politics, seperating the RIGHT from the WRONG!
And speaking of wrong policies, enjoy our latest Fun with Music. Yep, that’s right – it’s the opening to the next PodCast w/ TIZ. . Just as it is in Britian, it’s the Conservatives that have and CONTINUE to speak out the Democrats’ and New Labour Party’s policies of bailouts and spending sprees. For those from other parts of the World, the British voices you hear are Prime Minster Gordon Brown and Conservative Party Leader David Cameron. And remember, if you don’t think the bad spending policies of the U.S. and U.K aren’t related…just listen (and share!)
Republican Ted POE of Texas. “Mr. Speaker, oh, how things have changed. Time was, when you borrowed money from a bank, the bank wanted to know what the money was going to be used for, and you were required to fill out a bunch of forms to receive that money.
Now the big banks have shown up, wanting $350 billion from the taxpayer. They won’t tell us what they will use the money for, and they haven’t filled out any paperwork to justify receiving more taxpayer money. You see, they don’t want the same standards they require on borrowers to be applied to them when they want money.
It used to be the bad guys robbed the banks. Now it appears that the banks are the bad guys.”
Republican Steve KIRK. “Mr. Speaker, this Congress has voted for unprecedented debt, and a look at Treasury’s borrowings shows a stark picture. On average, Congress is forcing the Treasury to borrow $157 billion a week. Over the first 100 days, our debt has increased by more than $5.5 billion per day.China has cut its lending to the United States by 95 percent, effectively canceling this Congress’ credit cards. the rate of spending by this Congress in the first 100 days has shown the congressional leaders put each taxpayer into debt at a rate of $1,400 per week, $3,200 per quarter, and over $9,000 each just for the first 6 months of this Congress. That’s quite a record, a world record, and one our children will live to regret.”
Mr. Poe of Texas “It’s like bank robbery in reverse. It seems like the big banking boys’ gang is robbing the people. We call all of this nonsense a bailout, but bailouts have not helped stimulate the economy. Why don’t we just say, “No”? No more money to special interest groups. No more taxpayer money will be spent without accountability. No more spending money we don’t have. We cannot spend, borrow and tax our way out of this economic calamity.And that’s just the way it is.”
The Democrat Translation & New Labour Spending
Posted by: | CommentsFun with music time folks.
PRESS PLAY
You know, I’ve always wondered what the Democrats meant when they use terms like “Progressive” and “blue collar”. Well, Rep. Thaddeus McCotter gave us a full translation with a little translation.
Rep. Dan Burton, our other favourite voice against the rampant spending of President Obama’s spending spree policies chimes in and reminds us of our excess borrowing from other nations.
And finally, David Cameron – Britain’s Conservative Party leader, reminds us that Obama’s tag team partner in Gordon Brown also shares the same debt rising philosophy.
U.S. & U.K. Politics – Obama & Brown want to spend, Conservatives oppose
Posted by: | CommentsBy request we’ll be adding these bad-boys on the site. It’s a great way here what our leaders are talking about. And besides that, the music adds to it. Sharing our enjoyment with you. Plus, PMQ’s are so damn entertaining! It’s amazing how both the U.S. & the U.K. both hope to fix their financial problems with more spending and more borrowing from communist China. And of course, on both sides of the globe, it’s the Conservatives who oppose. Download 
Rep. Dan Barton (House of Representatives – February 12, 2009) “China yesterday said that they held $682 billion of our debt and that they were very concerned about the “reckless policies” of our spending. And they were concerned so much that they contacted our new Secretary of the Treasury and said, We want some kind of a guarantee that our money is going to be worth something if you guys keep spending so much over there and devalue not only your currency, but the currencies throughout the world. Well, today China reversed its position and said–Luo Ping, the Director General of the Chinese Banking Regulatory Commission–said in a speech in New York, “We’re still going to buy your Treasuries because where else are we going to put our money, because the United States is still the biggest economy and the best place to put our money. But we’re really upset with you because you’re devaluing your currency, and you’re going to be devaluing ours as well.” And he said this, “Except for U.S. Treasuries, what can you hold? Gold? You don’t hold Japanese government bonds or UK bonds. U.S. Treasuries are still the safest haven. For everyone, including China.” But, you’re devaluing your currency over there, and we don’t want ours devalued, but we don’t have anyplace to go. He said further on, “We hate you guys,” using his language, “We hate you guys. Once you start issuing $1 trillion, $2 trillion or more in dollars, we know the dollar is going to depreciate, so we hate you guys, but there’s nothing else we can do.” Now what does this tell us as Americans? What’s going to happen tomorrow is we’re going to spend another $800 billion. Almost $1 trillion. The Secretary of the Treasury said the other day that he was going to have to put probably another $1 trillion or maybe even $2 trillion into the banking system in this country to make sure everything continues on the right path. We are going to spend another $400 billion in an omnibus spending bill in a couple of weeks. So we are looking at probably $2 to $3 trillion in additional spending before too long, and it’s going to probably triple the amount of money we have in circulation over the long haul. In the short haul, maybe only about half of that. Maybe only $1 trillion or $1.5 trillion. But what that means is the amount of money in circulation is going to go up like a rocket. And that is what we call inflation” 
Conservative Party Leader – David Cameron 1st April 09 “We are spending £4 for every £3 that we raise. This is a domestic problem, and no international agreement is going to resolve it. Do not these difficult circumstances teach us one very important lesson? We should never leave Britain this exposed again. The Prime Minister: If we do not take action, things will get a great deal worse— [Interruption.] Mr. Speaker: Order. The Prime Minister: The rehearsals will make no difference, because this is not about the party games that the right hon. Gentleman is talking about. This is about lives, jobs, homes and businesses. I have not heard him once today talk about the problems of the unemployed and the people whom we are trying help. He said that we cannot afford a fiscal stimulus. That is his position, so he would cut the pension, cut child benefit, not go ahead with the help to small businesses or to home owners, not go ahead with advancing public investment—everything that we are doing to take this Country through the downturn, he opposes. I hope that people in every constituency know that Conservative party policy is to cut the pension, cut child benefit and cut public works. That is the policy of the Conservative party.” Press Play to listen
Rep. Dan Burton & Conservative Party Leader David Cameron On The Economy
Posted by: | CommentsDefinitely two of my favourite politicians. Hopefully their words can actually curtail the spending spree that our government’s seem to be on. Burton is from a few months ago, and Cameron is from earlier this month. Hasn’t stopped the spending yet – but they won’t give up, I’m sure.
There’s a little bit of Hilary and Obama in there, too.
Rep. Dan Barton (House of Representatives – February 23, 2009 – “Someone must be smoking something illegal”)
“Mr. Speaker, if what I’m about to say wasn’t so sad, it would be funny.
We’ve spent $700 billion in TARP, $14 billion for the auto bailout, and that’s just the beginning, $738 billion in the so-called stimulus, and that does not include the interest that will take us over $1 trillion. $410 billion that’s coming up in the omnibus spending bill, probably another $100 billion in supplemental. And the President today with his staff people down there was talking about national health care. Lord only knows how much that’s going to cost.
And Mr. Geithner is spending 1 to $2 trillion, he says, to help the financial institutions in this country to stay above water.
And then the President said today he’s going to cut the deficit in half in the next 4 years. It does not add up. How in the world are you going to do that when you’re spending all this money, printing all this money, asking China to loan us more money? It just doesn’t work. Somebody must be smoking something that’s illegal.”
Conservative Party Leader – David Cameron 1st April 09
“The Prime Minister: That is one of the things we are trying to achieve, but I have to tell the right hon. Gentleman that he cannot avoid the difficult questions about this G20. We are in the midst of the biggest fiscal stimulus that the world has ever seen, and only the Conservative party seems to be opposing it. We are in the midst of the biggest cuts in interest rates that the world has seen and we are restructuring our banking system. Yes, I agree that trade is important, and that is why I have pushed for it very hard, but I think he understood that when I said that America wanted some time to consider the position that was a barrier to getting an agreement immediately. We will push forward on trade, but we will also push forward on the other measures that are necessary for an economic recovery. I just repeat that nobody coming to London has a policy of doing nothing.”
Mr. Cameron: “There is someone right here in London who said that we cannot afford another fiscal stimulus, and that is the Governor of the Bank of England. I do not know whether the Prime Minister fully understands what happened last week. While he was wandering around the rest of the world telling them how to run their economies, the Governor of the Bank of England was saying right here that the Prime Minister did not know how to run ours. The fact is that the Governor of the Bank of England very publicly snipped up his credit card. That is what happened last week.”
On The AIG Bonuses
Posted by: | Comments
Many of you have emailed asking who the two Congressmen were with the great addresses on AIG in the opening of Tuesday’s show (w/ guests John Brenkus & Randy Orton). Well, they are US Representative Peter Roskam Congressman Earl Pomeroy on the decline of AIG.
The first is Roskam. The second is Poweroy. Both powerful speeches.
US Representative Peter Roskam
Mr. ROSKAM. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
A couple of minutes ago we heard from the gentlewoman from California, the Speaker of the House. She said this isn’t complicated. And you know what? It’s really not complicated.It was just a few short weeks ago that the House Republican leader, JOHN BOEHNER, came out here with, I don’t know, was it a thousand pages? It was a whole lot of pages in the stimulus package. And he gave a poignant observation, and he made a challenge and he said nobody on that side of the aisle has read this bill. He dropped it, and like a thud those pages hit. And there was silence on the other side because you know what? The other side, Mr. Speaker, could hardly give you eye contact because they hadn’t read the bill. And now, lo and behold, we come up with one shuffling answer after another as to how it is that this policy gives AIG the ability to walk away with taxpayer money. The list of excuses knows no end.And So the Speaker is right. This isn’t complicated. This is what happens when we abrogate responsibility, when the Congress doesn’t read bills, and when we create what my predecessor calls the “greased chute of government.”
