In November 2008, Americans voters were searching for a healthier solution to restore a sluggish American economy. The voters’ proposal was to grant Barack Obama and the Democrat Party on Capitol Hill opportunities to show their plans. Almost immediately, the American electorate saw that the Democrat Party’s Obama/Reid/Pelosi team was a mistake as their solution was to spend more of taxpayers’ money to bail out our industries and our government. Americans screamed “NO” to more spending but the Democrat Party’s Obama/Reid/Pelosi team ignored the calls. Americans realize that when you are deep in debt, you have to “stop the spending” in personal budgets and in government budgets.
During the past two years, the White House and Capitol Hill Democrat Party team of Obama/Reid/Pelosi have raped American taxpayers by proposing and passing legislation which was intensely opposed by the American public. On occasions, many elected Democrat Party members on Capitol Hill admitted that they voted for legislation even though they had not even read the bills.
In the last two years, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi team attempted to swing members of the GOP to cross the aisle in support of the most radical and liberal giveaway legislation ever proposed on Capitol Hill. Most Republicans held their position in refusing to cross over and support radical, left-wing proposed legislation, just to vote yes.
On November 2, 2010, American voters responded to the radical, left-wing legislation saying, “Stop the spending”. American voters were surprised and outraged but awakened as members of the Democrat Party continued to ignore the call. Now, the American electorate is calling upon the Republican Party to right the wrong. In the meantime, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi team has spent more deficit spending than all other Congress’s combined between our first President George Washington and continuing through President Ronald Reagan’s administration. With more damage in doing so, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi team promised to create jobs restoring an expanding economy. Sadly, the Obama/Reid/Pelosi Democrat Party team left America in financial distress with few or no additional jobs.
Even now, Democrat Party’s Obama/Reid/Pelosi team has allocated $800 million to Wisconsin, $400 million to Ohio, and $2 billion to Florida, all for high-speed rail. Within the last few days, each of these new GOP Governors-elect Scott Walker (R-WI), John Kasich (R-OH), and Rick Scott (R-FL) have all said “NO” to this spending. These three governors want this $3.2 billion of allocated funding returned to the taxpayers.
When will they ever learn to listen? On November 16, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood indicated that the $1.2 billion may be transferred to Charlotte, NC for a high-speed rail. Today, taxpayers are funding each passenger $32.00 per ride. Why should American taxpayers be forced to pay even more?
To make corrections in saving our nation, members of the Republican Party must stand firm on continuing to reduce taxes on all, and that includes what Democrats call the wealthy. Democrats must learn to understand that it is those with resources (money) in our society who create jobs. When was the last time you met an indigent individual who created jobs?
Members of the Democrat Party must also understand that it is the Labor Unions that are destroying businesses by demanding more salaries and benefits than industries can afford to provide and compete in the world economy.
Jobs, jobs, and more jobs are the primary issues to restore Americans in putting people back to work. The GOP must and will stand firm in accomplishing these goals without softening and/or compromising principles to, again, slow down our economy. Republicans must refuse to cut all deals that may injure the goals in restoring our American fiscal and/or social freedoms.
Under the majority GOP leadership in the US House of Representatives, expect the radical left-wing minority Democrat Party to continue with attempts to create anxiety on all proposed conservative issues. By standing firm, GOP leadership can return America back to a prosperous economy.
Along the way, President Obama’s veto and Senate Democrats’ blockage will serve in delaying the restoration of our economy.
America still has the best technology and greatest workers in the entire world. Labor Unions must learn to work with industries allowing businesses a fair shake for profits in the marketplace.
