Obama administration cuts back on fraud prosecutions
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
Remember how “Obamacare” was supposed to “pay for itself” by cutting $50 Billion in fraud and waste? You haven’t heard much about that lately either. Probably because our Dear Leader and the congressional democrats never planned on implementing it.
The truth is that they have done exactly the opposite. USA Today reports that there has actually been a 20% reduction in the number of criminal prosecutions for defrauding federal benefit programs since our Dear Leader took office. It is almost as if the democrats want to promote fraud and waste in government benefit spending.
Once again we find that what our Dear Leader promised has nothing to do with what he actually planned on doing. Remember this come November 2012.
Obame Regime claims the War Powers Act doesn’t apply to them.

Jake Tapper of ABC news reports on the latest whopper from the Imperial Obama Regime.
Our Dear Leader claims that his unprovoked war on Libya, which presented no immediate threat to the United States of America, does not require Congressional approval. Why, because it’s just a ‘little war.’ Things like the Constitution and the War Powers Act clearly don’t apply to the whims of Dear Leader under the rule of the Obama Regime.
Mary Katherine Ham Fact Checks Obama

It turns out that the truth and our Dear Leader are not exactly on speaking terms.
Obama’s decision isn’t based on what is best for America’s children, but what the NEA wants. Obama needs that Union money for his reelection campaign.
What is it with democrats not paying taxes?
Ok, it’s pretty damn clear by now that one of the reason why democrats are so eager to vote for any tax increase that comes across their desk is that have no intention of ever paying it.
Case in point, democrat Senator from Missouri, Clair McCaskill. She just “forgot” to pay $287,000 in property taxes on her very own private jet.
Wait! It gets even better! McCaskill signed on in February as a co-sponsor of Senate legislation that would fire federal employees if they are “seriously delinquent” in paying their own federal taxes…
Yup, by her own rules, democrat Senator McCaskill should be fired.
Wait yet again! There is still more! What was McCaskill’s job from 1999 to 2007? She was the state auditor for Missouri!
So let’s review. We have a current Senator and former state auditor calling for the firing of federal employees who are “seriously delinquent” in paying their federal taxes who just “forgot” to pay $287,000 in property taxes on her personal private jet.
What is no surprise is that Senator McCaskill is a democrat.
Wisconsin Fleebaggers heavily funded by Public Employee Union payments

Color me not surprised. Here is the, ahem, money quote.
The 14 Wisconsin Democratic senators who fled to Illinois share more than just political sympathy with the public employees and unions targeted by Gov. Scott Walker’s budget-repair bill.
The Senate Democrats count on those in the public sector as a key funding source for their campaigns.
In fact, nearly one out of every five dollars raised by those Democratic senators in the past two election cycles came from public employees, such as teachers and firefighters, and their unions, a Journal Sentinel analysis of campaign records shows. . . .
Remember the good advice from the man who wrote the screenplay, “Follow the Money.”
More violent rhetoric from the left.

Ann Coulter summed it up well.
“You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse you of doing.”
Let’s review the video of how those “tolerant and open minded liberals” act in the wild.
Culture of Corruption Marches On
He was found guilty on five counts of wire fraud and one count of theft of government property on Tuesday. Justice may be a bit slow, but it did come through in the end. The sentencing will be interesting.

Meanwhile, in the Commonwealth

Our democrat controlled Legislature voted to keep their action from public view.
The Massachusetts House and Senate voted to kill a Republican sponsored bill to put Committee roll call votes on the Legislature’s website. The democrats want to keep the current rules, which require citizens to drive to Boston during business hours in order to obtain information on how their elected officials voted.
Just what do the democrats in the state legislature want to keep hidden from the citizens of the Commonwealth?
There was also a strict party line vote in the House that killed a Republican sponsored bill that would have prohibited the House from approving any tax hikes without a two-thirds majority on a roll call vote.
OK, so one thing they are trying to hide is that they are going to jack up your taxes, and they want to be able to give political cover to some of the reps by not forcing them to vote for the tax hike.

The actual effects of Dodd-Frank Finance Bill:
We don’t want to raise fees on our customers, but unfortunately, regulation is forcing us to do it, and as a result, some customers may end up unbanked,” said a Chase spokeswoman. Bank industry executives have said the new regulations will squeeze low-income customers out of traditional banking, sending them to high-fee alternatives like check cashers and payday lenders.
Practical, efficient self defense is empowerment.
As far as the rest of the world’s movers and shakers are concerned, Obama is little more than a charming cocktail party guest with little to offer than small talk and leftist bromides.
Only one thing is certain. Obama will be running for re-election the minute he returns to Washington, but he is going to need more than his former vacuous “hope and change” motto and there is small chance of that. In a very real way, the nation has already moved beyond him.
When I see Obama these days, I think of Jimmy Carter, a pathetic former president soundly rejected by the voters, the “author” of endless, largely unread books, and grateful that anyone takes notice of him.
When you see Jimmy Carter today, you’re looking at Barack Obama in fifteen or twenty years.
Will Rogers was also right on target:
There is not a man in the country that can’t make a living for himself and family. But he can’t make a living for them *and* his government, too, the way his government is living. What the government has got to do is live as cheap as the people.
