Obama Has No Plan At All

*SOLO-US Press Release: No Plan At All *

*November 23, 2008 *

*President-elect Barack Obama on Saturday outlined his plan to create 2.5 million jobs in coming years to rebuild roads and bridges and modernize schools while developing alternative energy sources and more efficient cars. * "Except he has not outlined any plan whatsoever," notes SOLO spokesman Scott DeSalvo. "The article does not outline any plan, just more goals and platitudes. (A lot like how Obama ran his Presidential campaign.)

"What he HAS done is attempt to position Congress so that whatever garbage bill he puts together and has sponsored by an Obama-ite will get passed, because if you vote against it, you are voting against 'the creation of 2.5 million jobs.' Perhaps 10 Congressmen, led by Ron Paul, will see through this pathetic ruse.

"The 'Plan' will include an expanded government, a government work program, and increased taxes on business to pay for it. Or some slight variation of same.

"For Obama, in contrast to the Founding Fathers, government, not the individual, is the solution to all problems and the source of all good. Of course he is going to expand the government into every area of our lives. It is the only answer to problems to be found in Socialism--another Committee, another political appointment, another tax.

"And so it will go for the next 8 years.

"The real solution to the economic crisis is simple. Shrinking government fractionally every year until it fulfills only those functions it is allowed to perform under our Constitution. Shrinking government programs which create dependence on the government for aid and sustenance every year fractionally until such programs are eliminated (both foreign aid to other nations and to our own citizens). Reducing taxes and eliminating the income tax. Eliminating the Fed and its ability to print unlimited supplies of imaginary money. Tying the dollar's value to gold. There will be hand-wringing, crying and wailing, as parasite and outright crooks find their free ride disappear. Then, stand back and watch as prosperity arrives," DeSalvo concludes.

Gordon Campbell: On The New Government’s Policies Of Yesteryear

Winston Peters is routinely described as the kingmaker who decides whether the centre right or the centre-left has a turn at running this country. He also plays a less heralded, but equally important role as the scapegoat who can be blamed for killing taxes that his senior partners never much wanted in the first place. Neither Ardern nor Robertson for example, really wanted a capital gains tax, for fear of Labour copping the “tax and spend“ label they ended up being saddled with anyway. Usefully though, they could tell the party faithful it was wicked old Winston who killed the CGT... More

Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw... More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru...
