Here in Orlando, Florida we have been hit hard by the recession. The unemployment rate has pretty much mirrored the national average of around 10%. But that is very misleading in this area and other areas in the United States that have high illegal immigration rates. I would estimate conservatively the real unemployment rate is around 17% simply because illegal immigrants tend not to file unemployment. Most simply pick up and move elsewhere leaving behind foreclosed homes and deserted subdivisions. Some stay behind getting by on government assistance. Government agencies here and most places don’t ask a lot of questions when a mother of four shows up looking for food stamps and aid. Some would argue if you look closer the real unemployment rate including those partially employed and those that gave up looking it would be around 20%.

Bennigans closed forever.

What has caused this was the Federal Reserve easy money supply during the boom years, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buying sub prime loans, never bothering to check for US citizenship, and Keynesian economics of both Bush and Obama.

Amigo’s gone

Keynesian economics consist basically of taxing and spending. The government knows best approach. Roosevelt and Hoover used these policies in the 1930’s and mid 40’s to achieve a whopping average unemployment rate of 17.2%. And now we have bush and Obama repeating history with the twist that Obama is nationalizing 30% soon to be 48% of our GDP. It’s collapsing folks. The best we can hope for is a peaceful breakup of the United States and an end to the federal government in Washington.

Pizza Uno gone

Ronald Reagan had a quote that best describes this phenomenon we are experiencing “How do you tell a Communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.” And the Obama solution as prescribed by Carl Marx “There is only one way to kill capitalism, taxes, taxes, and more taxes!!!!!” Seems with the health care bill, cap and trade and the take over of currently 30% of the GDP soon to be 48% Obama is following Marx’s game plan with astonishing success. Yes the communist is in the White House and the results are more and more evident as the private sector is crowded out, taxed and destroyed.

None of this will be reversed until the cancer that infects our federal government is destroyed. The demographics are against freedom loving people. Increases in minority voting and educational indoctrination both in government schools and the popular culture controlled by super rich assholes who hate America have taken us to this point.

Independent taco mom and pop restaurant out of business.

And do you think it will get better? The Federal Reserve has increased the money supply 120%. A year or two from now what do you think the inflation rate will be as the dollar plunges? 40%? Interest rates 50%? Communism will be the answer for the uneducated and indoctrinated masses. Peace and bread or some stupid bull shirt slogan will emerge in 2012.

Can you see the next bust? Secondary commercial real estate is extremely vulnerable.

And just to set the record strait it all accelerated because of two men. Alan Greenspan knew what he was doing during the housing boom setting the federal finds rate at 1%. He was a republican hater probably influenced by his idiot wife Andrea Mitchell. Greenspan really hated Bush. Sabotage plain and simple. Greenspan knew what he was doing; he knew exactly what he was doing.

Obamanomics. Maybe this facility will be converted into a soup kitchen.

Another casualty. Formerly a furniture rental outlet.

The other man responsible was an economic illiterate. Gorge Bush. Bush started the bail out crap, $152 billion, $300 billion, $700 billion and it never stopped. Bush opened the door for Obama and the communist to ruin this country. If Bush would have vetoed every single bail out Goldman Sacks would be gone. GM and Chrysler would have merged like they were destined to and reorganized under bankruptcy laws. Citibank would be gone and all of the other banks that made bad loans would have been gone. Foreign banks and the remaining 50% would have filled the gap and by now, yes right now, we would be coming out of the recession in a very strong position for the survivors. The economy would be free from the government and we the people would be free from Washington for the time being.

Instead the recession lingers on and in the not to distant future we have to look forward to the collapse of the dollar, the collapse of commercial real estate, more housing foreclosures and a transition to a command economy. So here are some pictures of the first casualties in America as we transition to a command economy. John Maynard Keynes, Alan Greenspan, George Bush, Barrack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mm) and Carl Marx must be given their due.

Wed. October 8th Taliban wearing police uniforms attacked a building housing foreigners.

Kabul – The assault which killed 11 people including three militants sent terrified U.N. workers scrambling out of the building to escape the choking smoke and gunfire.

This is but one in the brazen attacks aimed at undermining the Nov. 7th election.

Barack Obama has had at least 9 mos. to prepare for this situation. He entered this Whitehouse with an Afghan plan of action handed to him on a silver platter. Apparently he looked it over (or not) adopted it in whole or parts and announced he had the whole thing covered.

Apparently ANOTHER LIE.
When all of a sudden 2 months ago when the leader of his Afghan mission requested more troops … he dawdles.

Now he has to carefully think things over?
Was he to busy to think all of this over for close to a year now? What happened to all the shovel ready he spouted during his campaign?

I get it!
Its shovel ready CHICAGO STYLE … NEVER!

We suffered through 8 years of liberals calling Bush an IDIOT.
Now we are going to suffer through another 4 with a figurehead who stands before the people and LIES.

Obama has a laundry list of lies probably larger than the stack of pink slips sent to Congress.

Now we add indecisive liar, wimp, fool, con man?
Take your pick.
All appear to fit at one point or another.

Give your general what he needs or quit killing our troops because you don’t have what it takes to decide SQUAT even with help.

Slideshow of Attack

UPDATE: NOV. 9, 2009: 4.5 million

UPDATE: OCT. 30, 2009

WASHINGTON – The “Send Congress a Pink Slip” campaign has already generated almost a three-foot-tall stack of paper in the Capitol office of each individual senator and representative, says Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND and one of the organizers of the effort to rein in spending and Washington power grabs.

But it gets better, he says.

If the 4 million pink slips were piled on each other, the stack would be two and a half times as high as the Washington Monument.

If the 4 million pink slips were placed end to end, they would reach from the District of Columbia to Detroit, Mich., or Portland, Maine.

Picture pink slips laid end to end wrapping around the Washington beltway 8.3 times – or completely covering 19 football fields or making a swatch of paper 43 feet wide from the Capitol steps to the Lincoln Memorial.

UPDATE: OCT. 7, 2009

In just 11 days, the campaign to send “pink slips” to Congress has resulted in an unprecedented and historic effort that has generated more than 2.5 million individually addressed notices to all members of the House and Senate – proving, once again, that Americans are mobilized to take action to stop Washington’s plans for bigger, more expensive and more intrusive government.

Now the American Family Association will begin promoting the campaign beginning Friday.

I have to wonder if congress really has the mental capability to understand the ramifications should they choose to ignore the public. Do you suppose the public is just going to forget all of this?

No doubt that is their hope.

Keep up the good work and remember it is likely for every pink slip they get there are no doubt 30 or so who are saying “go dude I believe in the cause but am to lazy to get off my duff and buy a stamp.”

UPDATE: OCT. 4, 2009

Notices to Congress exceed 2 million to date. All of this is causing a run on pink paper.

UPDATE: OCT. 1, 2009

Send an urgent warning to every member of Congress to let them know you’re watching.

Seven days ago, it was just an idea to get the attention of Congress.

Now, the “Send Congress a Pink Slip” campaign is being called an “unprecedented success” and a historic grass-roots lobbying effort.

So far, after just six days, 1.5 million “pink slips” – individually addressed notices to each member of the House and Senate, complete with sender’s name and return address – are on their way to the Capitol by Fed Ex courier letting every member of Congress know there’s discontent back on the home front.

Apparently I am not the only one beginning to realize members of Congress are turning a deaf hear and blind eye to the public.

Well there are a number of things going on behind the scenes that those of you will blogs might also want to promote.

I love the idea of sending a pink slip to every person in Congress who fails to listen to his/her constituents.
