You don’t walk your talk about fairness.
You are the promoter of socialism for the big guys and capitalism for everyday Americans.
This was most evident when you paid off the insurance policies (CDS’s) of Wall Street with Tarp money, but never repaired the damage being insured, the homeowners forced to continue to pay a mortgage greater that the house was worth.
Your 2013 budget you doesn’t address farm subsidies that profit the large agricultural companies to the detriment of family farms. The benefits and disadvantages of these subsidies are now so obscure that a taxpayer has to right to consider it a government sink hole. I have written you several times that family dairy farms have been slaughtered because the subsidies favor factory farms that produce the most quantity of milk yet milk is out priced because of the drinks made from fructose from subsidized corn farmers. Remember Republican Congressional District 23 in New York voted Democrat in 2009 hoping you would help dairy farmers.
We can understand how nature can ruin a farmer’s business. Capitalism would let him fail. Prudent farmers would save for a rainy day. The big agra-business farms don’t make provisions for bad times yet want subsidies in good times. Where is the fairness in that? Why are you forced to provide socialism for the big guys and capitalism for the little guy?
Some of the subsidy does lower the cost of food but the distribution of the subsidy appears to be based on political favor. Some of us care about the people and would prefer helping the people with foodstamps rather than let big agra-companies pay off politicians
I know so little about where government spends our money and how it’s wasting it.
Who is minding the store?
Why aren’t you on top of these problems?
You can bet that if Mitt Romney were President he would have a top right hand man – a hand picked Chief of Staff. Both Jim Baker and Howard Baker made their boss look good. You have gone through 4 Chief’s in 3 years, frankly none of them come close to the two Bakers.
You are very poor at defining the problem and solving it. You don’t understand that Congress is your problem. You can’t see that relying on the old hierarchy of power is failing, just relying on Egyptian leaders. You must use brains to address the problem. The Military is trained to address this kind of problem. You need to build a whole war room dealing with Congress. You need special ops forces on the ground dealing with each member of Congress on a bill by bill basis, Intelligence Agents who know of skeletons in the closet, secret liaisons, illegal bribes and earmark weaknesses. You need to hire Tom Delay.
You claim to be a student of Ronald Reagan. He said “Trust but verify.” You trust your staff but a Chief of Staff must verify. I have often written about the incompetence of members of your staff. I predicted the Occupy Wall Street movement. Has either the Attorney General or Secretary of Homeland Security warned you of the riots coming this summer? Ever heard the expression “Long, hot summer?” Rahm Emanuel says 5% of Chicago is lawless with no sense of civics. Both Pennsylvania and California have clusters of these ghettos.
You are failing as coach, general manager and owner.
