The Federal Government is destroying our Churches.

In the old days, poor people went to the churches for food and support.

Today, poor people receive their hand outs and support from the federal government.

I believe that the reason for the decline in church attendance and membership is that people now go to the federal government, for their help and needs, instead of the churches.

My conclusion is the federal government is indirectly destroying the Churches because people no longer need the church since the federal government is furnishing all their needs.

Christian Membership Declines

President Obama is 100 % wrong.

President Obama promised to leave Guantanamo Bay detention camp within a year.

http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/national/usstatesterritoriesandpossessions/guantanamobaynavalbasecuba/index.html

Two years later, and counting, the United States still has prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

After spending three years at Harvard Law School, Obama knew that promising to leave Guantanamo Bay detention camp within a year, was a deliberate lie. The lie to leave Guantanamo helped him to become President. If President Obama had read even one case at Harvard Law School and understood what was involved in landmark litigation, he would have noticed that almost nothing can be accomplished, in less than one year, when the law is involved.

Most Candidates Lie

Obama lied when he campaigned on the fact that he would pull out of Afghanistan.

Obama received the votes from the people who thought that he would leave Afghanistan and received the votes from the people who paid him, with political campaign contributions, who knew that he would not leave Afghanistan.
So Obama received votes from BOTH sides. I am amazed that you can be for adding more troops and reducing the number of troops at the same time. Honest people will never have a chance.

See the article - Obama approves Afghanistan troop increase

There is no reason to believe Obama because Boeing was contributing to his campaigns. Just follow the money.

I guess Obama did not understand the issues of the Afghanistan War even though he was a United States Senator.

Why was the Madoff Ponzi scheme never detected ?

Smart people new that something was wrong with the trading system of Bernie Madoff.

Smart people thought that he was front running trades. Front running trades is illegal. Some people think that front running is a victimless crime. The smart people did not want to dig or investigate very deeply into the Madoff operations because they were afraid of exposing the front running activities and they were profiting from what they thought was easy money.

The problem was that the smart people thought that they were profiting from the illegal front running trades and not a Ponzi scheme.

Limousine Democrats Love Inflation

Limousine Democrats love inflation and wasteful government spending.

Limousine Democrats borrow large amounts of money, with fixed interest rates for investments in commercial real estate, homes, and cars, then they advocate wasteful spending in the government that creates high inflation, so that they can payback their loans with cheaper dollars. Wasteful spending is the fastest method for creating high inflation plus they can feel good by claiming that they are helping the poor.

The problem is that handouts create dependency.

Retired people, on fixed income, are hurt in the long term by the Limousine Democratic spending programs, like Cash for Clunkers, with very little return for the taxpayers. The Department of Transportation reported that at the end of the program Toyota accounted for 19.4 % of sales, Honda with 13.0 %, and Nissan with 8.7%. Meanwhile, Japan's own program excluded U.S. cars.

National Science Foundation - Priority One

I would immediately increase the funding at the National Science Foundation.

Google began in March 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Ph.D. students at Stanford. They were working on the Stanford Digital Library Project (SDLP). The SDLP's goal was “to develop the enabling technologies for a single, integrated and universal digital library." and was funded through the National Science Foundation.

10,000 dollars per cell in Iraq - - - - - 140,000 dollars per cell in Illinois

The Corps of Engineers awarded a $40 million contract to global construction and engineering firm Parsons Corp. to design and build a prison for 3,600 inmates, along with educational and vocational facilities.

The Obama administration has asked Congress to approve about $350 million to buy and renovate an empty prison in Thomson, Illinois. The Bureau of Prisons would then be able to use the facility to house up to 2,600 federal inmates.

I will grant you that the costs in Iraq and Illinois are different but not by a magnitude of 14 times. Obviously the reason projects were never completed in Iraq stemmed from insufficient money in the budget.
