Number of People Going on Disability

Hat-tip confoundedinterest.wordpress.com:

The number of non-institutional population going on disability has increased dramatically,as has the number of households on the SNAP (food stamp) program. In fact, the number of people going on disability since July 2010 has been larger than the decline in unemployment by near a quarter of a million!

Elizabeth Warren’s law license problem

Excerpt from LegalInsurrection:

Maintained private law practice at Cambridge office for over a decade but not licensed in Massachusetts

Warren represented not just Travelers, but numerous other companies starting in the late 1990s working out of and using her Harvard Law School office in Cambridge, which she listed as her office of record on briefs filed with various courts.  Warren, however, never has been licensed to practice law in Massachusetts.

16 Trillion Reasons

Repeat Bailout of the United Auto Workers in Every Industry

In a simply STUNNING statement, a portent of a second term, Obama gives a glimpse into his inner thinking of the auto bailouts for GM/Chrysler by saying he "believe[s] in American workers, [he believes] in this American industry, and now the American auto industry has come roaring back and GM is number one again. So now [he wants] to do the same thing with manufacturing jobs not just in the auto industry, but in every industry...".

A disaster of epic proportions, the auto bailout destroyed non-union pensions and today has GM in the hole to the American Taxpayers to the tune of $40 BILLION dollars, in exchange for propping up the UAW. Instead of the bankruptcy law allowing GM to survive by renegotiating ALL their contracts, the federal government intervened and imposed its own "renegotiations" that shafted bondholders, pension holders and upset the normal balance of dealing with a failing bloated business.

Consider the implications of repeating bailouts in every industry: complete bankrupting of the US, balooning an already sky-high deficit, and government control of ALL industry - as if it does not already have too much influence on every facet of commerce today. This sounds more like Venezuelan government than American.

Consider the definition of Fascism, as BIG government control, but not ownership, of business.

And, about the spin being spouted that Obama just meant to keep jobs here in the US? Well, nice try.
