The Real Change we Can Believe In.

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_021909/content/01125106.guest.html

Do you hear that readers? Do you hear it? I never would have believed it if I had not seen these reports, but this movement is growing faster than you can imagine. I thought this would have taken a year, at most. But we're growing now, readers. We're raising the questions that need asked. We're questioning the authority that needs questioning. All across the nation today, we questioned the unquestionable.

Obama isn't too big to lose, folks. He's facing an enemy that is bigger than him. He's facing the American Spirit. We were battered, beaten down, and left for dead, but we never stopped fighting, and now we're back. The youth of America, once thought to be one of Obama's strongholds are beginning to question him. They realize he can't possibly deliver everything he's promised. Rick Santelli of CNBC, again, another liberal stronghold, spoke out against Obama today. Everything he said struck true. We don't need to fund the losers. We don't need to bail out the people who are living beyond their means. It's not up to us responsible Americans. We need a case of tough love here. People need to learn what we learned as children. Actions have consequences.

I say this proudly today. I'm proud of my fellow Americans today. We proved something. We proved that we aren't sheep. That we're too smart to be drawn in with flowery speeches. We have the values that make us American today. Today, I stand up with the rest of my countrymen in defiance to this president who has sold the nation on false hope.

Until next time folks, I'm that Conservative College Guy, and we are America.

This just in: The government knows more than doctors about medicine.

I was talking with my roommate today, and he said something I found poignant.

"When socialism comes to America, it will be wearing a white lab coat."

Well ladies and gentlemen, it's closer than ever today. This new part of the Porkulus bill is going to give us the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. Now, the first part is a good thing. It's going to make our health records electronic, to prevent duplicate tests and errors. However, let's look at the second part of this. The second part calls for the government deciding what treatment you get by what they deem necessary and cost effective. Now, if this isn't the start nationalized health care, I don't know what is. Where does the government get off deciding what type of care you get? This bill scares me to no end. It should be up to the doctors and families about what procedures should and shouldn't be done. Need a heart transplant? Too bad. Not cost effective. But you can pay for it? Oh no, you can't do that, nationalized health care won't allow that.

Until next time, I'm that Conservative College Guy and we are America.

A quick one before class today.

It would seem that the banks aren't the only ones spending taxpayer money for "retreats"

http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/500k-spent-on-dem-caucus-retreats-2009-02-03.html

Pot calling the kettle black much? This is our money being used, by a political party that you may or may not agree with, and believe me, I don't, so they can have a day at the Spa. Listen, don't you think it's a bit... Backwards for democrats to scold the banks for doing the exact same things that they did?

Until next time folks, I'm that Conservative College Guy, and we are America.

My economic stimulus plan that won't happen.

Sorry for the gap in posts everybody, I'll blame it on lack of motivation, which is no excuse at all. I'll do my best to keep up with what's coming out, so today, I'm going to present a plan that won't happen, but it would make the economy come back so fast, it would make your head spin. It's simple, but it's effectiveness would employ millions of Americans and it would reward Americans who are actually working. Now, I'll give credit where credit is due, this isn't all my plan, my brother and I talked about it and we both agree that this is the way to get the economy running again.

1. Cut the Federal Income Tax. Get rid of it. Why? Well, look at your paycheck and look at the part that says FICA. That's a rather large chunk of your paycheck that gets taken by the government. Now imagine if that was put back into your paycheck. There's additional money put in your pocket for being a working American. If the government would suspend the federal income tax for just 2 months, we would see a huge boom in consumer spending, which is part of what we need to get the economy up and running again.

2. Cut the capital gains tax. In fact, get rid of it. Again, just a two month trial period at first for the skeptics, but once Wall Street starts coming back by leaps and bounds, we'll see companies hiring people left and right. This helps the large companies. Where do the small companies buy their supplies from? The large companies. Who can reduce their costs once the capital gains tax is gone? The large companies. This makes it easier for small businesses to hire more people, and for more small businesses to start. So what do we get out of this so far? People being hired to jobs that give them higher wages to put back in to the economy.

3. If you insist on having government jobs, make them useful. Two examples. Have the government hire people who actively monitor welfare recipients. If they aren't making any effort to get a job, it's not our problem to continue funding their laziness. This gets more people off welfare and gets more people into jobs. Example 2? Border patrol. This prevents illegals from getting into this country and receiving benefits that they don't deserve, and again, gives people steady jobs. If liberals insist on having government jobs, us conservatives will be glad to meet you half way.

That's the plan. Like I said, it's simple, and it's brutally effective. But... It won't happen. Liberals are too concerned with trying to get in their pet projects that they've been drooling over for the past 20 years. This is not the time for that. Liberals are being greedy here, trying to set up their empire for years to come, at the cost of the American citizen. That's obviously "change" we can believe in.

Oh, and because I laughed a good 5 minutes over this:

Really? 500 Million a month? Pelosi, you senile old lady... Just go sit down and the nurse will bring you your medication after Murder She Wrote.
