Iowa Government Worker Pay Too High

Falcon:

Readers should go to the below site to find a table explaining State of Iowa Base Pay Compared to Market Base Pay Details.  In other words what the over paid state workers get while preforming the same jobs private sector workers do.

There’s a workforce advisor position which the state pays 50% more than does the private sector while most of the 47 jobs the state workers are grossly overpaid compared to the private sector person doing the same job.  There’s also one job getting 55% and another 46%; so readers should basically read the entire article by the Public Interest Institute.

No wonder our taxes are grossly high and totally unnecessary just so state employees can live good life off the backs of Iowa’s private employees.

Military Handbook Concerns

Falcon:

Here’s just one paragraph explaining what a new troop proposed handbook will contain for the troops in Afghanistan.

A proposed new handbook for Americans serving in Afghanistan warns them not to speak ill about the Taliban, advocate women’s rights or criticize pedophilia, and the general in charge is not happy with it.

Now the left is trying to brainwash the soldiers as they have the school children with their politically correct hogwash.

This sounds like one of the Hawk Eye’s editorial rants right out of Obama’s playbook.  This politically correct life is nothing more than a loser proposal and in return will the Taliban treat our troops likewise or continue to behead, shoot and torture them if captured?

What a crock of crap this has to be and sounds like an attempt to make our military a bunch of people with both arms tied behind their backs rather than the current one arm.  A year or two ago they were supposed to restrict their shooting when shot at and be proper and trim liberal dunces while the Taliban were shooting at them.

I wonder if this new proposal means they are not to criticize pedophilia here in America when they come back.  What kind of a warped mind wrote this disgusting junk?  Is it just another Washington liberal bureaucrat needing to justify his or her gross salary and benefit package?

Burlington Post Office

Falcon:

The other day I had the misfortune of having to mail something larger than an envelope and was forced to go into the Burlington Post Office and wait in that eternal line at the service counter.

There is something totally wrong with the Burlington Post Office and I blame it on arrogance of the management that puts service to the customer at the lowest level possible and this has gone on for years down at our post office.

There is never enough people working the service counters in the Burlington Post Office and most people just dread having to go down there to mail anything other than a letter at the outside box.  It’s as though the customer’s time is not near as important as the management who can’t figure out why there’s a long line standing out on the floor waiting to mail something.  Why doesn’t the management of the local post office take a time study on the slow service when only one of the counters is manned while the line keeps growing?

Management of the entire Post Office Department is a mess and they are constantly being bailed out by the taxpayer for failure to break even.  This just goes to show that government just fumbles around and can never compete with the private sector in any business related venture because they have no incentive to excel or do things right because they have the taxpayer to bail them out.  Government is similar to spending eight hours a day away from home doing nothing and being overpaid to do it, sort of a retirement incubating head start experience for management.

The Burlington Post Office is West Burlington Post Office’s best advertisement.

Workers Outnumbered by Voters

Falcon:

Quote for today: “The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living.” –Anonymous

Welfare————————————-66 million non productive (no value added) All of Government———————–40 million non productive (no value added) Working People (value added)—–103 million

Just no way this can work because there are far too many people doing nothing productive to create value added commerce nor paying of taxes.

This is Obama’s plan on how the United States should be and we can thank the free loaders and government people for four more years of this mass destruction of our country from within.  With Obama in office there is just no way anything can get better for the United States.  We again elected a loser for our president and sealed our fate for many years to come.  In the mean time our tax dollars are being wasted on those that have no intentions of creating any wealth and prefer nanny government to carry them from cradle to grave.

Government employees:  How many people work for governments in the United States?

Volt a Dolt

Falcon:

Well, our government is now going to try and tax us so it can develop a real car battery development lab because the GM Volt is a total bomb just like most enterprises the government undertakes that undercuts private industry know how and competition both of which make American work at its best.

Here’s what Jefferson had to say about government and taxes:

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” — Thomas Jefferson

Our current administration is totally nonfunctional in a positive way and overbearing and obnoxious in a negative way while the congress is just plain worthless and a waste of taxpayer money.

I think Obama has wasted enough money on his dabbling in the industrial world something he really knows nothing about and a person whose claim to fame was block organizing at best.  The problem with our economy is Obama himself but Obama’s ego gets in the way of his learning from the past; so don’t ever expect this president to solve any of our problems.  We are stuck with Obama through the fault of an unscrupulous American press and television news networks and people incapable of thinking for themselves while dependent on the taxpayer for their livelihood and only vote for those who would sell their souls to get elected and of course give them money.

Our country is being stolen right out from under us just as the left leaning liberals wanted.   The situation in Detroit is what is waiting for much of America because that’s Obama’s vision and his goal.  Make all America dependent on the principles of a loser economy and big dumb, incompetent government.

What a sick country we have become with a government that represents only those with no stake in anything other than greed and produce nothing of real value for the country as a whole and it’s definitely a top down process.

If Obama’s brains were dynamite

Falcon:

I’m beginning to think that if Obama’s brains were dynamite he wouldn’t be able to blow his nose.  He’s now chosen on the short list a left wing Anna Wintour to be a canadate for ambassador to Great Britain and her qualifications are:  left wing zealot, big Obama donor, a non-diplomat as are 46 of the 52 he’s got out in the field now.  In 2008 he said he was going to upgrade the diplomatic corps another promise he didn’t keep.  This sends a message to the world that American diplomats are nothing more than left wing friends of Obama with no diplomatic experience at all.

Maybe she’d be a good choice for Benghazi since were short an ambassador there.  America’s choices for diplomats are a position for sale to the highest bidder and the qualifications have nothing to do with diplomatic skills unlike most countries around the world.

If you wish to view an article about Obama and his ambassadors take a look at this web page:  Why Obama’s ambassador appointments did anything but end “politics as usual” in Washington | David Rothkopf

We are now as unrepresented on the world stage as we are in the congress.  We have mostly leftwing donors as ambassadors around the world and a congress of do nothings here at home.

By the time Obama is done the U.S. will be teetering near 3rd world classification without a doubt.  He’s destroying our American way of life through total ignorance of how America works.  In simple terms we have a Flim Flam man in the white house.

Basically two of the three branches of government are non-producing dead weight to the American taxpayer and should be totally replaced.

Thomas Jefferson… Years Ahead of His Time

Falcon:

Here’s a few quotes indicating Jefferson was hundreds of years ahead of his time and must of known about democrats long before they were ever invented.  I wonder if he sensed an Obama on the American horizon; so many years ago?

“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” — Thomas Jefferson

“To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.” — Thomas Jefferson

“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” — Thomas Jefferson

“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” — Thomas Jefferson

Government Only Represents Themselves

Falcon:

Here’s a good site to find out how senators and others have ripped off the public to gain millions of dollars:  http://insidertrading.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=001580

It list the top ten richest senators and the many conflicts of interest involved because of their positions.

Just another example of government that only represents themselves.  The millions they spend on reelections is money stolen from the insider trading they allowed themselves.  No wonder none of them can be voted out and will probably have to be forced out.

Fiscal Cliff CNN Poll

Falcon:

Of course the CNN/ORC pole shows Obama voters blame Republicians for the fiscal cliff and every thing else caused by Obama because he’s told them so and they all believe the Messiah when it comes to Obama regardless of his constantly lying.

Obama gets away with this because the American press no longer reports what happens truthfully and always skews it away from Obama by not telling the public the truth about his socialist agenda and the type of people who would vote for such a person actually believe Obama and the socialist press he’s dependent on to cover his lies.

When you look at who voted for Obama it explains plenty of about how educated they are and what they know about earning a living and being productive.  Even a monkey would be loyal to someone who would feed it, clothe it, school it, shelter it and basically care for it from cradle to grave all with someone elses money leaving them to just take up space their entire lives.

I believe the poll because the people that were canvased for it were completely duped by Obama for the second time.  The same thing happened in Germany back in the 30’s and 40’s although Hitler forced the German press to toe the line while in America the press has led the charge to socialism by their lies to protect those duped from finding out the truth about Obama.
