LETTERS Without spending & more debt The Envy Waltz would stop To the editor, Last week Obama had one of the worst weeks any president could ever have. The debt deal he put together is hated by just about every person in America, including those in his own party. Obama has a special knack of not only upsetting his enemies but also alienating his own party. The left was not happy with the debt agreement because it did not include tax increases and the right was unhappy because it did nothing but kick the can down the road to reform entitlements, Medicare and Social Security, which are the major obstacles to balance the income and outgo of spending in the years ahead. The sausage making episode clearly signaled to one of America’s top three debt rating agencies that as long as Obama is in office spending will not be cut in any meaningful way and the deficit will continue to escalate further endangering our countries economic security. Thus our bonds were down graded by S & P for the first time in history and equity markets around the world swooned. Our stock market is now off about 15-percent since the debt deal carnival side show moved into it’s final days reducing retirement pension values across the country by hundreds of billions. The 11th district court in Atlanta ruled Friday AGAINST the Obama care mandate where by every person has to purchase insurance or be fined. This is considered to be the highest and most significant ruling thus far against Obama care. It also means the question will be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. All of these happenings as 40-percent more Americans want Obama care repealed than implemented and that divide has widened ever since the legislation was passed exclusively in the dead of night by only Democrats. Are you aware that if the legislation is upheld the power that will be given to the U.S. government? If they decide your car is harming the environment government could force you to buy a green car. They will have literally unlimited power to force anyone to
BUY ANYTHING. It scares the hell of me and it should you. The total incompetence of government is revealed over and over and over. As Obama rumbles then stumbles he tumbles in the ratings to a 39-percent job approval. The LOWEST OF HIS PRESIDENCY. The back drop to his bungled socialist agenda in America is the thundering, crumbling of socialism across much of western Europe. First, it was Greece needing a bailout, then Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland and now France, one of the most premier socials countries in the world. has announced it is in serious financial trouble. Socialism SHOULD BE DEAD AND BURIED but it has nine lives, like a cat. The reason being many socialist fanatics have fine oratory and silver tongues that play the “envy violin waltz” to perfection. This music separates normal people from their brains. Remember this! With out unending, non stop SPENDING, handouts, bailouts, give a ways, cash for clunkers and promises to redistribute the wealth of America from one neighbor to another, Democrats could not get elected to office in this country for a century. (They surely are not going to get elected on their competence). These steps always are without exception accompanied by the class warfare chant (that plays in harmony with the envy violin concerto) to RAISE the taxes of America to pay for it all, helping to mute job creation. Thus, you can understand why Obama refuses to stop spending, and he refuses to cut the forward deficit no matter the cost and harm to America and its reputation as the mightiest economic power on earth. Without spending and more debt The “ENVY VIOLIN WALTZ WOULD STOP” and Obama would be about as interesting to most people as day old toast. THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO VOTE FOR OBAMA ARE THE ONES WHO WANT TO PUT THEIR HAND IN YOUR POCKET! Tony Boutin Gilford
We need your help in restocking shelves at the Alton food pantry To the editor, Alton Community Services has had a very busy year. We received over two thousand canned goods from various organizations, such as Cub Scouts, Brownies, Alton Central School, Prospect Mountain High School, Weight Watchers, American Legion, JP China, and from individuals too numerous to mention. Now, however, our shelves are beginning to look a little sparse. We are asking for donations of canned goods, canned meats, rice and baked beans. Our local gardeners have previously supplied us with extra fresh vegetables and they are continuing the trend this year. We recently received a large amount of fresh peas. You may leave donations at the Town
Hall, Profile Bank or Alton Home & Garden, or leave them at the pantry. We are open Saturday morning from 8 to 11 a.m. Our office is directly across from Profile Bank, on Mooney Street. Our telephone number is 875-CARE (2273). If no one answers, leave your name and phone number. USDA has released program eligibility guidelines.
