A Guardian Angel’s View of the Budget Crisis

Here is a pretty interesting take on the horrendous process taking place at the Arizona Legislature. Again, the irony in all this is that the ascent of a Republican Governor was supposed to make the entire process quick and harmonious but as you can see from the veterans like Barry Aarons and Howie Fischer, it has been anything but that.

Dean Martin Considering Run for Governor

 

While I’m on the topic of gubernatorial candidates, State Treasurer Dean Martin has indicated that he is considering a run for Governor. If this doesn’t indicate an incumbent governor in trouble, I don’t know what does.

I’m not surprised.

Because Dean Martin has had his finger on the pulse of the State’s financial health for several years, he should know something about what he’s considering. Let’s not forget that Dean Martin stood up against Governor Janet Napolitano in a very public way and warned Arizonans that the Napolitano was taking the state dangerously close to the edge of an economic precipice.

Now that we’ve fallen off the cliff into economic and political unrest, Dean has the political gravitas to say, “I warned you this day would come.”

That day has come and instead of pulling the rip cord in cooperation with the conservative Republican dominated legislature, the current governor is concerned about buying a new parachute.

I’ve know Dean Martin ever since he made his first bid for the State Senate against incumbent, Tom Horne. The campaign slogan back then was “when pigs fly.”

Maybe Dean’s words were prophetic because the current state budget is one big pig and let’s just say right now, it ain’t flying.

I don’t know if Dean Martin will announce for Governor. I haven’t spoken with him recently. But I do have tremendous respect, admiration and sympathy for him. But if he does decide to run, he will be an extremely formidible Republican candidate.

Obama’s Health Care – Beyond the Pale

Here what the Acorn Organizer-in-Chief has to say on the topic,

“You can’t fix the economy, without fixing health care.”

An issue affecting less than 59 million Americans (out of a population of about 330 million).  Of course, if there were less people there’d be less pollution, more for everyone else, and fixing the economy would be much easier (especially if they don’t have to pay out Social Security to the Baby Boom generation now coming into the system.  But how to do that?

And here’s the special interests, the big drug companies who stand to recover their paltry $150 million to change your entire future…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s drugmakers stand ready to spend $150 million to help President Barack Obama overhaul health care this fall, according to numerous officials, a staggering sum that could dwarf attempts to derail Obama’s top domestic priority.  [a special interest of Biblical proportions]http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2009/08/08/drug-industry-helping-obama-overhaul-health-care/

But who wrote those thousands of pages of health care legislation?  Your elected officials or their staff?  Who’s Orwellian vision is this [e-u-g-e-n-i-c-s] program?  Have you ever heard of Jacob Hacker or Tides Momentum?  How about Senator John Kerry?  Yes?  you recognize that name … well remember his ‘french’ wife, Theressa?

The Tides Foundation is her ‘progressive’ organization and a part of the

Open Society foundation network (George Sorros) and the Tides Foundation (Theressa Kerry):

This quote is taken from Tides Momentum 2008 Plenary Session, the guy quoted is the guy who designed those thousands of pages of “health care reform” now sitting before the U.S. Congress.  Remember his name, Jacob Hacker.

For the first time since 1992, we can more than just hope that the U.S. healthcare crisis will somehow be solved—we can see real possibilities emerging. Already on the ground and in the trenches in the U.S. and abroad, Momentums Health plenary speakers are laying the foundation for system-wide changes

Since 1992?  A crisis? Have you listened to these guys?

Well, it seems very few folks are even aware they exist.  Yet BigDrug Inc is willing to invest $150,000,000 to ram this health care nightmare through Congress this Fall whether or not you like it.

The last video for you to digest is complete disinformation about the disinformation from the White House Office of Disinformation … note the old video footage.  Oh, and that guy Jacob Hacker?  Watch

As for ACORN?  Just the “community thugs” to enforce CHANGE (whether or not you want it) … and if you’re over 55?  the ‘community counselor will be by to dialog with you about hospice’ (monthly until you die).  And don’t worry about the health care costs of the mentally or physically challenged in the years to come, DNA screening and abortion will be provided to those found in need – no one will be left out.

Are you ready for Eugenics in the Progressive Era?
