My Comments on the Mark Levin Show Friday 6/14/13---the 1st hour
Ooh these responses are fun!!!
Oh good his mentor is Rush Limbaugh!!
Really?? Boehner isn’t a conservative??? He was Gingrich’s
deputy in 1994 Contract with America----wasn’t that a conservative document??
Wasn’t Gingrich a Reaganite???
By the way I agree with half of the contract with
America----some of it was great.
Contract With America—Boehner---NOT Conservative??
The Contract with America was a document released by the
United States Republican Party during the 1994 Congressional election campaign.
Written by Larry Hunter, who was aided by Newt
Gingrich, Robert Walker, Richard Armey, Bill Paxon, Tom DeLay, John Boehner and Jim Nussle, and in part using text from former President
Ronald Reagan's 1985 State of the Union Address, the Contract detailed the
actions the Republicans promised to take if they became the majority party in
the United States House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years. Many of the Contract's policy ideas
originated at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
1. require all laws that apply to the rest of the country
also apply to Congress;
Sounds
great---actually more like a “”Duh”” to me
2. select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a
comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse;
Sounds great as well
3. cut the number of House committees, and cut committee
staff by one-third;
Cut committees??
Depends which committees---same with the staff---cuts have to be smart
4. limit the terms of all committee chairs;
Doesn’t sound bad
5. ban the casting of proxy votes in committee;
Doesn’t sound bad
6. require committee meetings to be open to the public;
Except for classified
intelligence committees----and I think they all are now----on CSPAN and youtube
7. require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax
increase;
Its not a
constitutional amendment---hey lets require that Contract with America require
a 3/5 vote!!
8. Guarantee an honest accounting of the Federal Budget by
implementing zero base-line budgeting.
Again doesn’t sound
bad
The rest of the contract
THE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT
THE TAKING BACK OUR STREETS ACT
THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY ACT
THE FAMILY REINFORCEMENT ACT
THE AMERICAN DREAM RESTORATION ACT
THE NATIONAL SECURITY RESTORATION ACT
THE SENIOR CITIZENS FAIRNESS ACT
THE JOB CREATION AND WAGE ENHANCEMENT ACT
THE COMMON SENSE LEGAL REFORM ACT
THE CITIZEN LEGISLATURE ACT
My response to GOP ideas and what they should really mean
So poor immigrants come here illegally and then 2nd
and 3rd generations BORN HERE are poorer?? That’s due to American
inequality not immigration issues.
MRC is Media Research Center?? I thought it was Media
Research COUNCIL----I’ve spoken with Dan Gainor for many months----but there
could be 2 programs
Heather from the Manhattan Institute and Mark are
disagreeing and then say “”yes you’re right””…..
Amnesty is (as I understand it) full legalization
immediately---not Gang of 8 plan with a longer waiting period and harder road
to legalization----but yes in the end legalization is the result.
So we borrow 40 cents on every dollar---that is our
debt---means we DON’T borrow 60 cents on every dollar we spend----AND most of
the “”debt”” that we “”borrow”” is NOT borrowed from other countries like China
but is borrowed from Americans and states that buy Treasury Bonds as
investments.
From 2011
Dodd Frank is destroying our economy?? Wall St is doing
great and they’re the guys who BROKE the economy in the first place!!! Their “”recession”” lasted maybe 6 months!!
3 years after Dodd Frank---the bill was passed and THEN dismantled!!!
Wall St does not play fair---they rig everything
EVERYTHING IS RIGGED----THIS WEEK ITS CURRENCIES
