What good is served by having ALL of his Czars being Marxists and revolutionaries and bombers and so on.
Now their ALL Marxists and bombers???? I guess the white ones are to throw off the Beck accusation that he's a racist? FOX news better have you on their Christmas card list.
I don't need to assume he has been influenced by these people; I know he has from his own words. Why pick them and them in charge if he doesn't agree with them?
Do you know HOW he is influenced. What I said was:
You assume he takes from these people their worst attributes to incorporate into his own persona and philosophy.
IF you thought they were a positive influence you wouldn't keep using words like Marxist. Truth be told, you or I don't know how they influence him at all.Or how he influences them? And now you're assuming they agree on everything. Most Marxists can't even agree on the definition or interpratation of what Marxism is or should be. But Obama has found 32 people who are in 100% total agreement on every aspect of how the government should be run and it's people governed? That would be a hell of an accomplishment when you look at how may folks have resigned due to differences with the commander in chief in the past.
What, no tears for the people whose pension money went up in smoke?
- General Motors Corp.’s U.S. pension funds went from a $20-billion surplus at the end of 2007 to a $12.4-billion deficit 12 months later
- The GM pension funds’ erosion last year included $11.3 billion in value because of investment losses'''
- $2.9 billion for hourly and salaried attrition programs
- another $8.7 billion for increases in benefit payments as part of changes to retiree health care and a deal regarding Delphi’s bankruptcy
- GM said it used $2.3 billion from the hourly pension fund to pay for buyouts in its UAW special attrition program, which encouraged thousands of workers to voluntarily leave the company as a cost-cutting move.
- The company also used $2.7 billion for the retiree health care trust—called a VEBA, or voluntary employee beneficiary association.
- GM spent another $2.3 billion for Delphi’s hourly pension program.
- Also, as part of GM’s decision to cut company health care benefits for salaried retirees 65 or older, it increased pension benefits to retirees at a cost of $3.7 billion.
- The company spent another $600 million on white-collar retirement incentives.
- The rest of the pension funds’ declines were attributed to service and interest costs, as well as changes in the discount rate and actuarial assumptions ($2.2 billion because people are living longer than expected).
- They robbed it blind to pay off the people to get them to leave
As for Chrysler, it was in 2007, before Obama...
DaimlerChrysler and Cerberus Capital Management, who were buying Chrysler Group, agreed to invest $1.2 billion in the pension fund of Chrysler workers under terms of the sale, according to their union, the United Automobile Workers.
They couldn't manage their money then.
Yeah, I shed a tear. For all the folks who weren't pulling in bloated salaries sruffed with insane bonuses that could feed a thrid world country for a year. I guess my question is, Why don't you go and ask the big decision makers at Chrysler if they shed a tear? Ask them how many times the government is supposed to bail them out before enough is enough?
When the government gave them the bailout money, Chrysler sent home nearly half of its employees, cutting its white collar work force by 20,000 and laying off 42,600 of its hourly workers after the loan guarantees were signed into law. The number of employees laid off at Chrysler in this period is at least as large—and may even have been larger—than the number of jobs that probably would have been lost had Chrysler actually been forced into bankruptcy at that time.
The Chrysler version of industrial policy, therefore, fleeced the company's creditors, resulted in a 50 percent reduction in Chrysler's workforce, rewarded the least deserving of Chrysler's stockholders, and let the U.S. taxpayer risk his money in a bankrupt company. This we were told, is the shining example for America's new industrial policy.
Were we supposed to just keep forking over the dough and let them continue like this?
just because he said those things doesn't really mean he said them, have I got that right? Once again, we're allowed to use his past to discern his character, but in the case of President Obama, we aren't, apparently.
Let me put it to you this way...
Cash For Clunkers
The clunkers were destroyed, rather than resold, which has driven up the cost of used cars. . It was only there for a couple of days.
Mr. Obama's associates
Does he have any that aren't serious ?I know he has from his own words. Why pick them and put them in charge if he doesn't agree with them? They are drinking buddies. These aren't theoretical possiblities, either, these are facts, in practise.
Chrysler
What, no tears for the people whose pension money went up in smoke? It's alright for a government to seize private assets. They had so much influence that there were a bunch of people on salary.
Glenn Beck
I'll tell you a secret--I haven't actually watched many of his shows, -but of course, just because he said those things doesn't really mean he said them. We're allowed to use his past to discern his character.
