The Waste Book
Since Congress is supposed to spend money according to a budget that is non-existent since 2009, it is interesting to see what they wasted money on in 2012 with no clarification of what they can spend the money on. Clear as mud?

Feds Want More Than 1% Pay Raise According To Their Union
Obama wants to give a 1% raise to federal employees, this along with a 1/2 point bump that they get normally depending on pay grade. Considering the generous pensions and health benefits these people get, I think they will survive without a raise anytime soon. And what is really maddening, the union is pissed off it is only 1%. GMAFB!
My income has gone down since the recession, and thanks to Obamacare, I will be losing even more to pay for a shitty health care package I did not want in the first place. We are going down in flames and nobody in Washington seems to give a damn.
“After all that federal workers have sacrificed the past three years, they have earned a raise,” William R. Dougan, national president of the National Federation of Federal Employees, told CNN. “I repeat, they have earned a raise. We are pleased to see the president take a bold stance and advocate for this badly-needed pay adjustment.”

Happy Birthday Ronnie!
“The ultimate determinate in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rockets but a test of wills and ideas – a trial of spiritual resolve; the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish and the ideas to which we are dedicated.”_Ronald Reagan
“If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth.”_ Ronald Reagan
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” _Ronald Reagan
If they vote to allow gays in the Boy Scouts, say goodbye to the Boy Scouts.
Reagan must be rollin’ over.
Rand Paul – Becoming A Believer
Not a big fan of Ron Paul but every time I hear his kid speak, I am impressed. We have a bunch of smooth talkers in the up and coming ranks of the Republican/Tea party, but they are just a bunch of political mumbo jumbo speek, “I have proposed a bill to sponsor a committee to decide whether we should hold a meeting on the issue of providing millions of dollars too fund a program whose initial funding was a trust that has become insolvent due to proposals sponsored by our fellow Senators”….whaaa??
And with the way the Republicans are being divided, it may be time to go the way of someone we can trust, not someone who the Republican Establishment shoves out front. We are not sending them to Washington for compromise, we are sending them for repair. If my main sewer line plugs up, I don’t want to compromise and just use my shower and dishwasher, I want it all fixed so the system runs like it was designed. Period!
At least I can understand Rand. He say’s what he thinks, does what he says and is the only one with the balls to go after Hillary and Hagel. Can’t ask for much more from a politician.
