Just wait until the real truth about Bengazi comes out. The scandel is really that obama planned it out with others. The US ambassador was supposed to get kidnapped and then traded for the blind sheik. This would get the blind skeik (World trade center bombing leader) out of our jail. Obama would be a hero.
As a school board member, my brother tried to give all of the teachers a flat $2000 a year raise IN ADDITION to their automatic raise for have another years experience (really the same year over and over again). The union rejected it as they wanted the bargaining chip of low starting salaries and they wanted percentage raises.

The problem is that politicians see tax money as "found money" Much like when you put on your Sunday suit and find a $20 in your pocket that you "Forgot" to put in the collection plate last Christmas. They need to think of the work that it took to earn that money. For every dollar of tax money that came ink, someone had to work for it. From a waitress, that could be the tip for serving a table for 20 minutes to a banker that maybe only worked a minute or less on someones bank account.

The government has nothing to do with drilling for oil, obtaining it from oil shale, or putting the Keywtone pipeline in. The government does not fund these things, free enterprise does. If they get the fuel from government land, the government collects royalties. If they get it from private land, the land owner collects royalties. In any case the government is not out one thin dime for the work. If the oil companies think they can make money going after this oil, it is on them, not the gov't

obama let the military do what Bush and Cheney had already started. They pushed the military to do what needed to be done and it takes a while, but after 10 years, they got their man with no real input from obama.

and the receiver Lusien Sprague, brought the company out of bankruptcy and into profits after WWII. By 1960, they were in such good shape that the C&NW bought them so as to control one of their competators. That is how the system is supposed to work. Bush and obama short circuited that and cost the taxpayers a lot of money.

Obama hasn't had any of his budgets passed by congress, even when the dems controlled both houses. That is how out of whack he is. His budgets didn't pass the muster of even his own party. They do have some semblence of self control. The stimulii by both Bush and obama were not really the right way to go. There is nothing wrong with a business going into bankruptcy. They can continue to function for a long time. Look at the history of the Minneapolis & St Louis Railroad. They were in bankruptcy for many years, they continued to serve their customers, employ people, and run their railroad. For a long time, anyone could buy the entire 1200 mile long railroad for $1, but there were no takers. Finally, a receiver was appointed
