AIG Bailout

I'm against the $85,000,000, 000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000, 000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,0 00 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000, 000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000 .00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it'll be there

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

Buy a new car - create jobs

Invest in the market - capital drives growth

Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth le t's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it.

Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.

Sell off the real estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

How do you spell Economic Boom?

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC .

And remember, The Family plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic.

PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's good for a laugh

How do you like the recovery bill that is up for vote now?

There are all sorts of strange earmarks in it, like wooden arrows for some school, and money for rum runners in puerto rico. All sorts of weird-ass crap hidden in it, payoffs i guess to the people who wouldn't have voted for it otherwise.

What a crooked bunch we got up there.

And to think that McCain warned about this 3 years ago, was booed off the floor by the democrats.

And to think that Barack Obama was part of the real estate scheme, and that he took some of the freddy/fannie bigwigs who made 90 million dollars off this scheme and made them part of his advisory committee.

If there is anyone out ther ewho dosn't want you to follow the money, its mr. Obama.

And that crook is gonna be our next president.

Can't wait to read the expose books and see the senate hearings.

I for one am looking forward to the excitement of the stock market crash and resulting depression.

It will be interesting to see the mindless dumbed down masses trying to figure out how to enjoy themselves without taking a car ride, plane trip, or spend money at a mall. It will be interesting to watch the chubby, fat, obese, and elephant-sized americans as they start to slim down, because they can't afford their luxury foods, wines, beers, candies, sodas, snack, etc, and have to make their meager paychecks stretch by eating rice, beans, and veggies from their gardens.

Already seen it happen once, and it really seperated the men from the boys, the tough from the wimps. This country is full of whiney spineless softies who have no idea how to change the oil in their cars, mow their own lawns, or even in a lot of cases, make a penny pinching nutritious supper for their family from scratch.

Yep, its going to be interesting to watch the Darwin theory unfold in our weakened population.

Bring it on. And I'll meet you all at the finish line when the crisis lifts in about 10 years.

Did you read the Burrus update on the APWU website?

Can you read between the lines?

Lay-offs are coming to those not protected.

Excessing people into other crafts and others towns and states will be next.

And if we vote for McCain, the Post office will be privatized.

It was a scary article.

But I still wonder what he thinks Obama is going to be able to do to increase our mailing numbers.

And I don't think Obama can prevent the Post Office from dumping people into other crafts or cities if there isn't enough stuff to do here.

No One can save us. The times of mail as we know it is over. Internet now rules.

I am looking ahead now, to keeping a low profile until I can retire, and then start over with a different career.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, people. The basket has holes in the bottom.

I think just about everybody like Ted Nugent music will us old folks anyway. Here is a e-mail I got it has a lot of good stuff in it.
Check this out !! Go to http://tizona.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/the-nuge-hearts-sarah-palin/ for the whole thing its great...

Sigh. Another rival for the affection of Sarah Barracuda, my dream Caribou Barbie: Ted Nugent.

“We need fewer lawyers in Washington. Lawyers have created a masturbatory legal system by raping our justice system. It’s refreshing to see that neither Sen. McCain nor Gov. Palin is a lawyer.”

“We need fewer bureaucrats who accomplish nothing but sustaining and growing Fedzilla. Obama is the biggest Fedzilla there is. Bureaucrats they create reams of regulations, rules, and requirements that strangle innovation and punish producers. I expect Vice President Palin to lead the charge with a battering ram to smash in the bureaucratic doors that impede progress instead of enabling it. I had a bumper crop of crowbars this year. I’ll donate them all to those willing to swing them.”

It’s wrong to suggest that just because Gov. Palin is not a career D.C. Politician that she lacks the experience and intelligence to lead the nation. She clearly has more executive management experience than Fedzilla Sen. Obama, who has zero experience at running anything. He’s not qualified to run an all-night donut shop, much less America.

Those pundits and Fedzilla fanatics who proclaim Gov.Palin has no experience to run the country are the very punks who want to continue to feed Fedzilla. They advocate taking more of our paychecks, wasting more of hard earned money, and not being held accountable. I would like to buy these Fedzilla punks a one-way ticket on the express train to Hell.

Last night, a political savior may have arrived. Ted Nugent at your service,Vice President-to-be Palin. I’m your biggest fan. Let’s rock.

Just in case you all didn't see the post from before.
The website is updated with the date and a link to buying your Military time back. If anyone has thought about buying it before.
With this the sooner the better.
I put a link to the Retiree's page too just in case you wanted to retire and could not find any help.

What has happen to The Potpourri?
Has any one got it. I know I have not seen one. The last one I know of is Aug. So I though it was coming out every two months. I know she is not an officer and does get paid so why don't we get it. You guys was asking about the webmaster I don't think he gets paid but if you want the old Potpourri you can read them there.
You are doing a good job with what you have been given thanks.

Writing as the mother of 1 grown and 2 younger children, I have seen some pretty sorry excuses for incorrigible behavior, but I haven't witnessed many as morally repugnant as those offered by Barack Obama concerning his decades-long, close association with Jeremiah Wright.

Some may argue (and have) that Obama could have stayed in this church, in spite of Wright's perverted slant on Christianity, because of the wealth of friends in his church community. This might be true if the contentious beliefs were of fringe importance or would not do harm to one's children, but this was not the case with Trinity and Jeremiah Wright. No man, and certainly no father, would expose his impressionable children to beliefs with which that man so fundamentally disagreed. the way he use God's name and his hate Americain stand. At least no man with a well-formed conscience and integrity.

Would I take my children to a church where someone like David Duke was passing himself off as a minister of Christianity? Would you?

Every church has a community of believers and a whole lot of charitable outreach going on. One need not compromise his basic morals, nor his intelligence, to find one.

May God bless us and show us the light and the real Barack Obama.

Our country will cease to exist as we know it, beginning January 20 2009.

Get ready for:

Zero population growth among the natives, forcing the US to restock the country with teaming masses from 3rd world countries. They bring with them their 3rd world ideas, hep A B and C, Heartworms, AIDS, TB, Malaria, and a myriad of other diseases that are not yet anchored here, but will be within 40 years.

This shift in population will bring with it a shift in political views, from people coming from dictatorships, socialist and rogue countries.

Taxes willhave to go up in order to support all the new Americans who are not up to speed, as is with every first generation of immigrant here.

Govornment will soon forbid you from raising your own children, (if you even have any). There will be socialization programs to teach them the government line, you won't be able to discipline them, and they will be able to do medical prcedures of any kind on your minor kids without your knowledge or consent. Its already started, with abortions on minors, soon it will be tattoos (numbers on arms from another era)piercings, sterilizations, amputations, you name it, whatever the kid wants, whatever he or she is convinced is the style or cool thing to do, whether its tattooing his face or putting their fetus through a Waring Blender.

You won't be able to say a thing, because the govornmnet soon will have no checks and balances, and we already see that elections can be skewed.

Look at Wall Street, the fanny freddy stuff, etc and you will see what happens when a bully govornment group pushes back against checks and balances. Nocchecks and balances, No one to have to answer to, and a dumbed down, extremely stupid public not paying attention caused this. And its just beginning.

Its so sad to see us losing everything, from our retirement incomes, to our identities. And if anyone dares speak up, they are called racist,homophobes, whatever. So shut up, bend over and take a deep breath. Its going to hurt.
