		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the link Almandine which demonstrates exactly how the Fed controls the states and has been for many years. So many state programs depend on Federal aid to float, without such they&#039;re finished.

This still does not help the state deficit issues,  with all except about four being solvent and the rest being buried in unpayable debt regardless of this &#039;stimulus aid&#039; pork.  

Obama&#039;s stimulus plan and the monies thereof were nothing but a boondoggle the same as TARP in the last days of the Bushista eight year reign of terrors/errors.  

Seemingly most state governments will roll over like puppies waiting for their tummies scratched in order to get more Fed &#039;bones&#039;, but there&#039;s no way this will address their monumental shortfalls when it comes to state bond fund commitments,  impending pension plan busts etc.  

These spendthrifts at all levels of government have sown the wind and soon they along with the people shall reap the mighty whirlwind of societal destruction.

		<description><![CDATA[If push comes to shove, how about some &quot;fire in the belly&quot;,  a set of cajones,  a cunning strategic and tactical brain,  Ak&#039;s,  RPG&#039;s, vodka bottles, gasoline and rags or whatever else is necessary to overthrow blood-sucking, bureaucratic despots.  I&#039;m not advocating immediate  revolution, but this is what it will take unless our leadership doesn&#039;t change its course and start thinking in terms of &quot;America First&quot;.  It sounds almost quaint doesn&#039;t it?  

Things will eventually get so bad civilly speaking that leaders at the state level need to stand up to the Feds and start shutting their mutual involvement down before an outright revolution does start.  The Feds control the states by threatening to withold funding etc.  The States need to give them a collective &quot;Bronx cheer&quot; and tell&#039;em to keep &#039;their&#039; money which is actually our money to begin with. 

The crimpols in D.C. have lost their grip on reality as to who should be controlling this nation and it&#039;s not them, but &quot;We the People&quot; via a responsive, obedient Congress.  We don&#039;t need no more stinkin&#039; &#039;leaders&#039;...period!  The people need to lead through responsive &quot;representatives&quot;, not policy makers and they need to follow orders instead of continually punching our collective t.s. cards while pitching our money away on questionable social programs and zero sum, adventuristic, engineered wars in far off regions; in addition to shoring up crooked businessmen and bankers with their privatize the gains and socialize the losses government policies.      

The feds aren&#039;t going to help the states with their financial problems although they&#039;ve surely used taxpayer money for big banking and AIG bailouts so they could prop up &quot;foreign banks&quot; with our money.  So the states know where they stand relatively speaking to this bunch of blood-sucking, internationalist parasites in D.C.  

One thing state governors should consider is shutting down Federal income tax deductions from all checks paid by businesses in their respective states via executive order in addition to any other fees and levies that are surrendered to Caesar on a passive, no questions asked basis to date.    The money can be held in trust until the Federal government gets jerked up by the &#039;shorthairs&#039; to the extent they start paying attention to &quot;We the People&quot; rather than their globalist banking cronies.  Without money they can&#039;t do diddly squat, not even pay troops to kill us off.  

Regardless of the outcome, I do see the ultimate Balkanization of America in time, surely by mid century.  Too much power is wielded by the Boston~New York~D.C.~Eurozone axis of evil.  Regardless of what I write they are going down and down hard due to their criminally disposed profligacy with our tax dollars.

		<description><![CDATA[Too bad we&#039;re not in the 2010 budget year any longer. The current budget numbers show about $2.2T in revenue with about a $1.6T deficit.

		<description><![CDATA[It seems like increasing the taxes on the top 1% of incomes would not make much difference, but that is where 25% of the yearly income goes and 40% of the total wealth resides.  If we added a single additional 70% tax bracket for incomes over $250,000 it would double their taxes yielding about 0.25 * 0.35 = 8.75% more revenue.  That works out to about 70% of the 2010 deficit, so it makes way more than &quot;a dent&quot;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You got it Keith... the folks get screwed, while the pols get rich.

But, of course, there will be no riots in the streets, because that dwindling middle class will be targeted again and again for evermore worthless dollars, keeping the destitute class fed just enough to get by. The rhetoric will continue to paint those who work successfully as the greedy bastards who are to blame. 

Just as unfortunately, the real crooks - those behind the curtain - will amass more and more all the while. Only when the average working stiff gets aggressively fed up will it all change. But then, those days are being prepared for by the governing elite.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks Keith for the feedback.  Granted a half trillion won&#039;t make an immediate dent in the deficit problem, but its a start along with many other pathways.  Any single one will not do.  

Here&#039;s a link to an associated current article on this site titled: &#039;Let&#039;s make a deal&#039;  Obama in which I lay out the massive damage they&#039;ve done to this nation along with my suggested remediation within this article.  It can be done, the question is: does our leadership  have the cajones or a plan to save this nation.  I think not!  In fact it&#039;s so in our face that it&#039;s part of a plan to reduce this nation to that of a desperate world debtor;  ie., slaves to international bankers. Seemingly they&#039;ve almost succeeded. 

 http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/41264

We just can&#039;t roll over and die like slugs in the noonday sun because they&#039;ve arranged it so.  As for myself, I&#039;ve yet begun to fight...!  :  &#124;

When they start talking of selling off the states to the Chinese then its time for a purge...no?  / : &#124;
