My Bologna Has a First Name

So, GM will be 72% owned by the government, 18% by the UAW, and 10% by the former bondholders.  HMMM --- Those three entities are all composed of the same kind of people ----- American citizens.  The only problem is that the only people who invested real money into the company were the bondholders, who are probably going to get 10-15% of their investment back, and the common stock holders, who get NOTHING.

The UAW, which is responsible for the costs that have led to the bankruptcy --- even though GM agreed to the ridiculous entitlements ----- gets 18%.  All this, and GM goes into Chapter 11.  GM could have done all this earlier, and saved 50 billion of our dollars, and the stakeholders could have fought for themselves without government bullying.

Where is the fiddle ---- Rome is burning.  Metaphorically, maybe the fiddle is the broadway play attended Sat. night.  How much taxpayer money was spent on that.

Say what you want -----  Obama is beholding to more people than any president in history. 

My bologna has a first name it's:  O-B-A -M - A      

Redistribution of wealth is the main component of bologna's last name:   C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-M

Am I Angry??

The question I have for you is, "Am I angry?"

Clues:

The elected leader of my country has apologized to, and consorted with, leaders of countries that do not have interests that are common with the fabric of this country --- capitalism, free enterprise, and security.

The elected leader of my country is not only pushing a socialist domestic policy, but is leaning toward Communism.  This a great system if you are a lazy sob that wants to live off the fruits of the labor provided by the people in the country that still want to work for what they have.

The elected leader of my country is pushing for socialized and federally managed health care based on what is in effect in countries that do not innovate, discover, invent, and develop new medicines, devices, and techniques.  Who is going to create if there is no incentive?  Under managed health care, my wife probably wouldn't have qualified for the expensive treatments that saved her life.  Luckily, we work, and we choose to pay for excellence.

All the underground commotion in the Northeast is our Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves after hearing about the government running private industry.  All, except for Alexander Hamilton.  He wanted BIG government.  He might have been successful if he hadn't besmirched Aaron Burr, and made the mistake of accepting a duel challenge.  Hmm, maybe that's why Barack is trying to be friendly with our enemies.

More clues, locally:

Dallas wants to risk 500 million on a convention center hotel for a city that has fallen dramatically in convention business.  On the other hand they sent Jerry Jones packing to Arlington with a new stadium that is probably a sure fire money maker.

Denton County upped the appraised value of my house in an economy where most people lost 40% of the value of their investments.

 BUT YOU KNOW ME-------- I DON'T LIKE TO COMPLAIN
