Internet Safety Act!
The new Internet Safety Act could become a invasion of our privacy. The new policy is going to be used to catch people downloading child pornography, which I’m 100 percent for. But what will happen is the Government will use the data they collect to see what other things we do. They U.S. Government and other Governments around the world always look for a backdoors into our privacy, which is wrong. They come up with a law that everyone is for, but plan on using it for something else, which is wrong. I do wish they would come up with the silver bullet to catch child predators online, and offline. But invading the rights of good and honest people is not the way to go. Anyway, if the new policy passes your data will be held for 2 years by your internet service provider. And what they do with the data they collect will be up to the Government, and who knows what they will do with that.
Recession Much Worse!
I have been hearing that it’s going to get much worst before it’s going to get better. I’m sure you’ve all heard it as well. And for the most part I hear it coming out of President Obamas mouth. I think he knows more than what he’s telling the American people, as well as the rest of the world. And I think a lot of people are starting to feel the same way.
As I was searching around the net today I came across a interview with Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital. He thinks if the U.S. government passes this new stimulus bill we will be in an “inflationary depression worse than anything any of us have ever seen.” He also thinks that if the U.S. government should stop borrowing and let the market take it’s course so we can come up with a new platform. Right now our economy is built on borrowing and spending. He thinks we need to build on saves and production, and I can’t agree with him more. We need to stop living the ways we are now and start making hard changes to save our economy. Because if we don’t, and the bond bubble pops there will be no more government borrowing, then what would we do? If the collapse of the dollar happens the U.S government will go broke, and then the rest of world will follow. It’s time to start saving, and build on a real economy, not a fake one.
New Stimulus Bill!
It seems that President Barack Obama has decided to put a ban on earmarks for the next stimulus package. He’s trying to get $825 billion dollars passed without adding in one earmark. This economic stimulus bill will be straight forward, no special projects or should I say pet projects will be allowed. Senator John McCain ran his campaign on how he’s never added one earmark his whole time in Congress. What President Obama is doing is a great choice, and I hope it works. Our last stimulus package started out only 5 pages long, until earmarks where added to make Senators and Congressmen get their vote. This is no way to get a bill passed, and anyone that got an earmark should be a shame of themselves. They where taking advantage of a bad situation. So I say great decision Barack, just stick to it.
Federal Funds!
The new President of the United States Barack Obama will sign an executive order that would end the ban of federal funds going groups that perform abortions or provide information on the option. This information is nothing new, Democrats have reverse this ban dating back to President Bill Clinton. President Ronald Reagan established this policy back in 1984. This ban should be left in place, no one person has the right to kill a life. Someday every President will have to answer to God for removing this ban. Another thing that bothers me is that he doing this signing without the press being around. He should come out and face the American people and say why he’s doing it. To me he’s acting like he’s got something to hide. But in the information era you really can’t hide.
