BloggeRhythms

This is one of those days where several items from various sources demonstrate how politicians, especially Dems, either manipulate data or flat out lie through their teeth.
 
I rarely mention Press Secretary, Jay Carney, because his attempts to shield his boss are so inane, ridiculous and often outright stupid he’s not worth the keystrokes. However, he said something today that’s truly profound, but I'm certain he’s totally unaware of the harpoon he launched against his whole party and how they’ve ruined the economy.
 
In trying to spur sign-up’s for the incumbent’s failing health care tax, Carney said, via Fox’s Chris Stirewalt, “We’re calling on moms to reach out to their adult children, get them off the couch and on the computer to enroll, and make sure that they have quality, affordable health insurance.”
 
So, in one fell swoop he’s acknowledging that young folks have no interest in the tax, so they’re not enrolling. But he’s also unwittingly pointing out that these perfectly healthy kids can’t find employment which is why their lolling around jobless in the first place, due to the faltering economy directly caused by his boss, the golfing POTUS.
 
And then, in an interesting coincidence, while the White House shill was trying to increase the number of idle youngsters to sign up for the health tax, CNSNews.com reported that, “The labor force participation rate in 2013 for Americans in their twenties hit the lowest level recorded since 1981, when the Bureau of Labor Statistics started releasing employment data on people in the full age bracket of 20 through 29.
 
The labor force participation rate for people ages 20 through 24—which BLS has been tracking since 1948—hit a 42-year low in 2013. Since 2008, the last year before President Barack Obama took office, the number of Americans in their twenties who were not in the labor force during the average month has climbed from 8,756,000 to 10,511,000—an increase of 1,755,000 or 20 percent. The 10,511,000 Americans age 20 through 29 who were not in the labor force in 2013 is the highest ever recorded by BLS."
 
So, after killing off their job opportunities through ineptitude, Carney thinks it’s the right thing to tax them some more. And if that isn’t perfect Dem philosophy, I don’t know what is.
 
Along the same lines. the Washington Examiner reports that “Planned Parenthood is going to bat for the White House, hosting more than 500 events in 18 cities to get Americans into the health insurance system. In eight states, officials from the women’s health and abortion provider will go to grocery stores and even indoor soccer fields to enroll people. It also plans to dispatch 500 canvassers to knock on 20,000 doors.”
 
In this case, some research shows that, according to Steven Ertelt in Washington, DC writing for LifeNews.com, “Government funding accounts for 46.5 percent of Planned Parenthood’s income — to the tune of $1.3 million per day, STOPP (Stop Planned Parenthood) indicates.
 
So, here we have taxpayers once more covering huge additional costs for a program that never should have been foisted on them in the first place.
 
Nonetheless, the health tax is only one of a myriad of misguided ideas and plans involving government where it doesn’t ever belong.
 
Which brings me to Harry Reid, who last night led an all-night waste of time and breath, and according to The Hill on-line was “Railing against climate change deniers.”
 
Reid said, “It’s time to stop acting like those who ignore this crisis – the oil baron Koch brothers and their allies in Congress – have a valid point of view. But despite overwhelming scientific evidence and overwhelming public opinion, climate change deniers still exist. They exist in this country and in this Congress.”
 
But, a little research here gets you the real truth, because www.latimes.com reports that, “But as they rev up for the midterm elections, Democrats are heeding the call of California billionaire Tom Steyer, who has pledged $100 million to back candidates with a program to curb climate change.”
 
Which goes to reinforce the truest adage in politics. If you want the real truth, just follow the money. And there’s no shred of doubt that if some guy like Steyer, whoever he is, paid Reid a few bucks to claim that the earth was flat, we’d be watching him fund programs to keep us all from the dangers of failing over the edge.
 
And then, to round out the Dem’s day, Dave Boyer of washingtontimes.com notes that, “Despite Hillary Rodham Clinton's promise that she had scrubbed illegal cash contributions from her 2008 presidential campaign, prosecutors revealed Monday that the mastermind of Mayor Vincent C. Gray’s “shadow campaign” also funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid Mrs. Clinton’s bid for the White House.
 
Jeffrey E. Thompson’s scheme included diverting more than $608,000 in illicit funds to a New York marketing executive, Troy White, who organized “street teams” to raise Mrs. Clinton’s visibility in urban areas during her Democratic primary battle against Barack Obama. Mr. White pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in the case.”

On the same subject, Chris Stirewalt notes that, “Included on the list of Dems whose campaigns received illicit donations: Harry Reid, Jesse Jackson Jr., Charlie Rangel, James Clyburn and Robert Casey Jr.” You couldn't find a clearer example of useless thugs if you went to a Chicago police station line-up searching for robbers and crooks.    

So, here we are back at square one today, the situation of the young amongst us. Because if any of them really give their problems some thought they’d realize that most of them stem from a corrupt and deceiving administration. However, reading and a quality education aren’t high on young folks lists, even for those who wind up in government. As evidenced at the beginning today where the spokesman for the POTUS doesn’t understand what he said when condemning his own party’s failures and ineptitude while trying to blame somebody else.

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
