Ameritopia: Is this Obama’s Waterloo?
Mark Levin has place together a fantastic book entitled Ameritopia . He takes you on a trip about utopia and what the founders had in mind for America. The real question is can you really have freedom and liberty under utopia? But more importantly we need to discuss: Is socialism or Obama’s communism really utopia?

Outrageous Spending
Nevada’s Clark County is like so many other state and local governments. They’ve been irresponsible with the taxpayers’ money. Now, they’re facing a spending crisis. The school district may have to cut more than 1,400 positions for next year — including 1,000 teachers . But officials in Clark County — home to Las Vegas — can only blame themselves for getting into this mess. Because of punishing collective bargaining agreements and lack of oversight, county officials have really lost control of spending. We examined just three government professions and how much they were paid in salary and benefits last year. These were: prosecutors , Justices of the Peace , and fire fighters . Dozens of prosecutors received more than $100,000; five made more than a quarter of a million dollars; and one made nearly $500,000. Justices of the Peace had similar salaries. Twenty-three were paid more than $100,000; eight were paid were more than a quarter of million dollars; and one received more than $300,000. And by scheduling sick days months in advance, fire fighters milked overtime and call-backs boosting salaries to ridiculous levels. More than 800 received $100,000; 200 got more than $200,000 and 41 were paid $250,000 or more. Fortunately, this can be turned around in Clark County. And everywhere else.

Are You Better Off Now?
Are things better now after three years of Obama? This is the question of the hour that must be questioned repeatedly until it becomes the mantra of all who like America. If you owned a business and hired someone to manage it for you, there would be an expectation of a profit at the end of each year. What if your business finished in the red at the end of the first year? What if that manager borrowed money to stay afloat and finished up in the red again the next year? What if more debt was accumulated and the third year also finished in the red? And what if your manager kept blaming the previous manager for all the current problems after three years? And what if your manager proposed a solution for your business, to straighten out all the problems, by spending more and going more into debt? Would you reckon he was insane? You would be the one suffering from insanity for not firing the manager after the first year of losing your money. Why would anyone allow a manager to continue with a growing record of consistent failure and loss? If you do not see the parallel yet, let me spell it out. I am talking about manager Obama. According to Fact Check of the Annenberg Policy Center, manager Bush didn’t do so well himself. In his eight years, the federal deficit grew by 4.9 trillion dollars, which was outrageous and nearly 4 times as much when compared individually with Reagan, GHW Bush or Clinton. Make no mistake about it; government grew massively under manager Bush. BUT, look at how we have fared after 3 years and 3 months under manager Obama. In less than half the time it took manager Bush to expand the deficit by 4.9 trillion dollars, manager Obama has managed to add another 4.7 trillion in just over three years, bringing the total deficit to over 15 trillion dollars now and will grow beyond 16 trillion by the end of the year. Keep in mind, Obama has done this in less than four years. Marx and Lenin would be proud. So are we better off now? The average price for a gallon of gas in January 2009, when Obama took over, was $1.79 a gallon. Ground beef is up, bacon is up, bread is up, and everything is up except the bottom line in your checking account. According to Word Hippo, the opposite of “to manage” is “to fail”. To manage is to succeed and to not manage is to fail. This is the year to change managers, fire the one who is failing, along with everyone in Congress who is supporting the current financial insanity. Are we better off now? He gave us Obamacare (‘nuff said), blocked the keystone pipeline killing 20,000 immediate jobs and 100,000 jobs in five years, ensuring high gas prices and stopped coastal oil drilling plot. Also, under Obama, the number of food stamp recipients rose from 31.6 million people in 2008 to 46.4 million in 2012, an increase of 14.8 million people, according to the fns.usda.gov.
