About that Recession the media has been talking about

For the past several months we have heard time and time again from the media about the horrible Recession that was going on. We have heard from the Bush detractors about the horrible Economy and the Bush Recession. Well, as it turns out we are not in a recession. By the definition of recession it is two quarters of negative growth. Now, originally Economists had predicted a .6% gowth rate in the first quarter. Now, it turns out that the economy grew more than expected at .9%. While that is not great growth it appears to be setting up what Alan Greenspan always called a soft landing where we go in a downturn, which always happens because the economy is cyclical, but we dont go into a recession. That allows the next wave of the cycle to pick and add more growth with no contraction in the economy. It looks we are doing better than the media and poltical talking heads thought, now wait for the spin because nothing can be good as long as President Bush is in charge.

Combating the Bush Haters

The Bush haters have been around for a number of years bashing The President and blaming every car accident and wildfire on him. They attack John McCain as a third bush term and refer to him by the loving term McSame. The fact is the reality of the Bush Presidency is much different than they discribe. Investors Buisness Daily had a great editorial describing that the Bush Presidency is much better than Barack Obama and the Demcorats want you to believe

"How about a dose of reality?"

• The editorial points out the real deal of what happened.
• We have had great economic times and we seem to be pulling out of the current downturn without even a recession, thanks in part to tax cuts
• We have had no terrorist attack on US soil since 9/11
• We are safer than we thought we would be after 9/11 thanks to taking the war to the terrorist and tougher anti-terrorist efforts.

Lets Hope the American people see the real deal not the distortion that the Bush haters, Democratic Hitmen, and Barack Obama want you to see.

Speaker Pelosi takes a stand, against border fence, in favor of Dream Act; She should be honest, In favor of Illegals at the expense of Americans

Speaker Nancy Pelosi took a stand yesterday against the border fence. Then she went on to talk about how wonderful the Dream Act was.

"The DREAM Act would eliminate a federal provision that discourages states from providing illegal immigrants with lower in-state tuition rates. It also would allow permanent residency for illegal immigrants who entered the country as children and have been admitted to an institution of higher education."

In reponse to this act she said this, "It just isn't fair," Pelosi said. "Those young people who came to America one way or another ... their opportunities are curtailed because of the situation. And it's not only harmful to them — it's harmful to the country."

Or maybe it just isn't fair to Americans to have to pay for those who come here illegally. The only conclusion I can come with is that Nancy Pelosi just does not get it and apparently does not understand the law.

House Does not have Veto proof majority on SCHIP and Rangel admits what it is really about.

The House passed SCHIP last night but they do not have enough votes to overide a Presidential Veto. Rep. Charles Rangel admitted druing the debate what it was all about Socialized Medicine and expansion of a government run program and they would use the kids for political cover.



"It hardly matters that the expansion would be expensive or a step toward socialized health care, Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said during the House debate. When lawmakers go home, he said, "the question is, Were you with the kids or were you not?""



It is time we tell congress to reauthorize the currently great SCHIP program and not hold our kids hostage for an attempt for Socialized Medicine.

Bush Prepared to veto SCHIP, will derail federal power grab

President Bush is prepared to veto the State Childrens Health Insurance Program reauthorization. This is a good move for America. The Program was designed to give low-income children the health insurance they could not afford. This program has been widely successful. Now Congress has seen its reauthorization to move the country more towards socialized medicine and wants to expand SCHIP to a larger portion of the population. This bill also takes away a lot of the state choices and puts them under federal control. Congress also waited until the program was just about to expire to send the bill to the President. They have essentially help the children of America hostage in order to give more federal control to health care. We should be proud as Americans that President Bush is willing to stand up for what is right and for the constition and veto this bad bill and send it back to congress to reauthorize a good program not try to expand their power.
