First Observation:

Why can't the Federal Government manage it's pension system for it's civil service employees rather than having a "short fall"----a governmentese expression for debt, poor proper planning.

Second Observation:

There are few if any taxpayers left to tax in America.

I ran a few errands yesterday in Virginia. Spent some time just chatting.

What I learned:

1. Small businesses are almost at rock bottom

2. Businesses that were thriving before Obama was elected are now wondering if they can keep their doors open--their inventory is going for half price if there are any buyers. (Buyers are few)

3. One small business owner ask me what will happen when we are all forced to close shops?

"My answer welcome to the third world nation of Obama"

There followed good political conversation as we discussed the takeover of our nation by Socialism

4. All those I talked with were using "lost leaders" to add a few more items to their main business.

Not in Virginia:

In Tennessee----------collectible, used book store had rent increased (of course because the landlord is facing financial stress). Rather than pay the rent, she closed the store. One more business gone.

In Las Vegas-----a friend had consigned some of her books to a boutique style store for marketing---------her friend who owned the business had to close up-------why the same happened to this small business woman as happened in Tennessee----------landlord increased the rent.

So what will happen now? Will these business areas become like Detroit where they are bulldozing parts of the town because the small businesses can't survive.

Will Obama resdistribute----use the idea of reparations to redistribute these lands to others? To illegal immigrants, to whomever "he" chooses.

If American taxpayers had listened carefully to what Obama said and what he had said previously, they would have known that Obama is all for tearing down and distributing their assets and resources to someone else.

As Obama makes the American taxpayer responsible for SEIU and the Civil Service Pension poor management "we the people" will be the stuckees for decades.

Time to throw the bums out----NOW AND IN NOVEMBER!
