The spending battle begins this week in Congress

The spending battle finally begins this week in Congress

This past week the Senate continued debating the Federal Aviation Admin. bill but mostly was in recess while Senate Democrats conducted their legislative agenda retreat in Charlottesville, VA. What emerged from their multiple-day retreat was a clear message that they intend to attack the GOP as they construct their budget cutting Omnibus appropriations bill which will continue the funding of our Federal Government through the end of this fiscal year. (Sept.30, 2011). This Continuing resolution or CR as it is commonly called will be the subject of debate on the House side and some talk on the Senate side this coming week. The Senate Majority Leader said on the Senate floor last week that the Congress needs to concentrate on the “quality of the cuts not the quantity.” He went on to say that the cuts should not “take teachers out of the classroom or police officers off the streets.” This theme will be echoed throughout the halls of Congress beginning this week as the Senate resumes the Federal Aviation administration bill, the House begins action on the Omnibus spending bill and the President submits his annual budget to Congress Monday, Feb. 14.

The House side will begin their debate on the spending bill as early as Tuesday. The Chairman of the Appropriations comm. Cong. Rogers (R-KY) posted the $100B in cuts late last week. You can view them here

Expect the rhetoric to continue from the Minority Leader, Cong.Pelosi (D-CA) and other democrats as they continue to back up her claim made in her farewell speech as Speaker of the House when she said on Jan. 5, 2011 that: “Deficit reduction has been a high priority for us. It is our mantra, pay-as-you-go.”

Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said in his Friday, Feb. 11, weekly whip report

in an effort to counter the GOP’s $100 billion in spending cuts that: “President Obama, on the other hand has already proposed a 5-year spending freeze that will save $400 billion, and Democrats are ready to work in a bipartisan way to address the deficit.” However, many in Congress see the President’s alternative much like telling an out of control teenager who has maxed-out the parents credit cards that they will be cut off from any more credit limit increases. The only problem with this scenario and with the President’s proposal is that the teenager is still allowed to charge on the credit card at the same out of control rate that existed before the credit increase was capped.

With this thought process in mind, expect several amendments to be offered by members of the House minority party when the House considers the Omnibus appropriations bill under an open rule this week. This open rule will allow for minority party amendments, presumably on allowing more spending. It is worth noting that open rules were almost never allowed during the four year reign of Speaker Pelosi. Minority Whip Steny Hoyer promised that: “Next week we will fight for needed investments in our economy and call for a real, serious plan to reduce the deficit.”

Stay tuned to hear the rhetoric and see the democratic alternatives to the GOPs plan to cut government spending back at least $100 billion. This spending bill needs to be passed by March 4, 2011, so let the games begin!

    http://biggovernment.com/tdelbeccaro/2011/02/13/egypt-reminds-us-we-are-running-out-of-time-not-oil/

    The Monetary Policy of the USA’s Federal Reserve should be to develop USA Oil and alternative Energy Resources to compete against the threat of a Islamic rise of Dominating their Middle eastern resources , and if the Federal Reserve will Not appropriate funds to US interests to develop domestic resources for USA use , because the US Government Bureaucracies like the EPA are choking off the Process by stalling and these Organizations are In bed with Environmental Marxists Organizations to Run the American People out of Vital resources Like OIL , We need to demand this be Debated which is a Creed to USA Independence , a Fundamental Value of the US Constitution , and then We the People Need to abolish the Federal Reserve and restore Article 1 Section 10 of the Sound Money Rule , and We the People Appropriate the Funding Necessary to Secure the USA energy Interests NOW !!!!!!!!!!

    Why is it that there is Value for the Chinese and Russians to come to America and develop this , but there is No Value for Domestic Americans to develop this resource of domestic value to a retail level and sell it to realize maximum value so we can generate the maximum revenue flows and capital circulation in our USA ???

Its along with the international influence of the united nations is what we the people of the world are being Oppressed by and we need to educate ourselves to this cabal and bring this to Debate so as to realize our demise and together take a Pledge to vote for True Democracy for the people of the world .

    As far as I am concerned I think the Economic crash was a staged event to bring everyone to their knees and Beg for help ; read this its selling a advisory plan but well worth listing to the free information in this reader , http://www.stansberryresearch.com/pro/1011PSIENDVD/WPSILC12/PR , there is no way the Expert Technocrats in our Government bureaucracies would have allowed this economic system to have evolved to this point systematically unless they wanted the result we have today , and I say its Treason ; because they allowed systems like the Federal reserve to keep interest rates Low to low to stave off Borrowing and re lending practices , Feeding the Economic Levers to the Point of Collapse , This is 180 Degrees off the mandate the Federal Reserve is enumerated with !!!!

    The time has come to Ask the Serious Question , is the Federal Reserve Mandate really serving the Best Interests of the USA , or is it Influenced with the Fear or worldwide OVERPOPULATION and its effects of sustainable Earth so heavily by the Institutes , Bureaucracies , Technocrats and Government Politicians to the point that they are behind the scenes rolling up the streets of American Liberty and Freedom all because they lost the will to continue the model we have been , Is this why we see the New Speaker crying all the time ?? I say before we give up our Country based off a International Plan that swallows American values Up for the sake of a Technocrats view of world affairs , we the people need to take control of Our Monetary Policy restore Article 1 Section 10 of the US Constitution and stop all funding , until we the people have Big Debate over giving up our Countries 235 years of progress , what do you think ??

  2. They need to Be Questioned , ALL Of them do , and we start with this law suit , SUE the Heck out of the FEDERAL RESERVE !!! http://www.suethefed.com/sign-up/co-plaintiff , see this , they bailout their To Big To Fail Buddies but then they say NO to the States , I am not saying the states Need to be bailed out , BUT I want to point out the HYPOCRISY in all this !!! what Good is the FEDERAL RESERVE other than a printing press ?? Heck We the people can print money too , and I say we the people should be in charge of our Money / Monetary Policy because what the Federal Reserve is doing is simply a cabal of monetary Policy and it is only serving the Interests of the Control Freaks in Washington that are designing the New World Order , SO TAKE THEIR MONEY AWAY FROM THEM and RESTORE THE REPUBLIC !!!! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-brown/the-fed-has-spoken-no-bai_b_808094.html , this shows the Oppression the USA is facing if we are not allowed to continue to expand supply or at least innovate renewable .

    We NEED civil Debate around these Issues for a full recovery , both economically and spiritually .

    this being considered by the American people because we are under the same oppression by this institution and its elitists agenda under the United Nations Agenda 21 policy of New World Orderism due to fear of OVERPOPULATION ; http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-833 , and fund these state banks though the commerce clause like this next link shows , http://oregoniansforastatebank.org/why-a-state-bank/ ? After all we all are facing a lack of funding in Key vital projects that will increase our resource supplies instead of this repression thats due in large part to a consolidation of wealth in resources and now is leading to inflation in our vital needs . Creating our own state banking systems that we can then fund our enterprises with is where this plan can be funded from and prosperity reborn in the way we all work together for peaceful transition and start to rebuild the supply of our communities . Please take a look at a Expert in this field of Banking , Ellen Brown , Web of Debt author. Now granted I understand the theory of state banking is not so much free market based , but the idea that the flow of Money to fund free enterprise is stalled out by the Environmental influence that has encompassed the Federal Reserve and the Big bailout banking industry , ( think Hank Paulson , Goldman Sachs , US treasury appointee ,by Bush , master of the to big to fail bailout of the firms like Goldman , AIG , the facilitators of finance from the Federal Reserve , Plus he was the founder and head of the largest Environmentalist Marxists Organization in the world , the nature Conservancy , now you can see how the banking and environmentalists are stalling out the economic fundamental recovery ??? This is why we need to consider this Idea and make it a independent way to compete against this cabal by the environmentalists and the Government thats policies are directly a result of how the environmentalists are trying to restrict human access to vital resources or the expansion and innovation of renewable resources all in the name of population control and reduction !! This is as serious as it gets in terms of Human Equality , and we the people need to Stand Up and Demand this Debate !!!!! http://www.webofdebt.com , to gain some insight on the idea of how we the people can create alternatives to our funding needs that can be acceptable measures of trade between nations , and break the oppressors that today are creating this debacle .

    I think the USA needs to consider its right to retain its resource base for full development to the extent that the true maximum value can be realized in the transaction of it so that the full benefit of that capital circulation can be realized in the production of that product in the society , because this is the only way to truly gain a maximum redistribution of the private sectors ability to be able to provide the self reliance we desire as a Free Enterprising FREEDOM LOVING NATION . Our Trade Policy is not working to the sustainability of this for USA interests , as we are losing our Intrinsic value which backs up our citizens not just in our currencies worth but our access to our own resources to provide our own needs freely , this is a national security threat to our peoples survival over the long terms as these foreigners Extract and remove Our resources at the bare Minimum benefit to the USA !!!!! We the People NEED to Have a Clear Understanding of what is going on in our Country .
    Thanks for your time .
