Comments on: In Flathead, Stimulus Bill Gets Mixed Response
By Citizen on 02-23-09
This problem cannot and will not be remedied with the ever increasing supply of printed paper dollars and digits on a screen. It is a comedy to see these socialist, Keynesian economists try to solve the problem they created with artificially low interest rates and easy credit, by issuing more of the same. What a joke. Ha ha. Glad I got gold back at $300 per ounce and never gave these jokers a dime.
Todays Headlines say it all:
AIG Seeks More US Funds As Record Loss Looms
American Insurance Group, already 80-percent owned by the US, is in discussions to secure additional government funds so it can keep operating after next Monday, when it will report the largest loss in U.S. corporate history, CNBC has learned
Dow on Track for Lowest Close Since May 1997. Dow Fall 3%
Dow Index Slips Below 12-Year Low.
Reports of massive losses at AIG and a new Citigroup bailout lead to massive sell-off near close.

Where is Kalispell’s money. Bozeman, Shelby and Missoula are on the Fed List - not Kalispell? What gives? Check it out - its official.http://www.stimuluswatch.org/project/by_state/MT

Montanans, I encourage you to REJECT the bailout! I support you all the way!! Take a stand for freedom, and it will payoff, without a doubt.

I don’t know about you, but having taxpayer money pay for a hotel and convention center in Irving, Texas, as well as for a new 100 acre industrial park in Puerto Rico does not sit well with me. So this is not pork, eh? Ridiculous.

My fellow Americans, I propose to you that we have already crossed the line of tyranny, just as our ancestor-colonists did when Great Britain imposed the “Stamp Act Tax” and the colonists had taxation without representation. Our “representation” is virtually worthless as they have ignored the will of the majority throughout America and have forced all of America to swallow a pill that is ultimately going to kill us, against our will, all the while telling us that we need the pill to survive.
I am like a lot of you: sick and tired of the tyranny! I do not live in your state, but if your state did something to resist this tyranny, I would be there in short order supporting you guys in the fight, as would many other thousands of freedom-lovers.
Think about.

If you are fed up with the cost of the stimulus and the impending tax burden there is a National Tea Party taking place this Friday 2/27/09. It’s a grassroots effort-inspired by Rick Santelli’s rant last week. Lots of people are upset with what has happened in the past month.

Is anyone in Kalispell organizing an event like this?
By good idea on 02-24-09
But would anybody show up? Probably. Would it do any good, in other words is there anyone in power who would notice that some people aren’t happy with the situation? I doubt it. It’s gonna take something a little more radical to get any results, I’m afraid. I think there’s a reason why terrorism happens, and why some people resort to it. It gets noticed, and it gets instant response. It works well enough that just dealing with the threat of it takes priority over everything else. I don’t want to see that happen but sooner or later it will.
By Boing-cuckoo, cuckoo on 02-24-09
oh great “good idea”, now the wingnutz are gonna be terrorists in stead of just obstructionist. hey, your guy lost and if you don’t have anything constructive to offer, you will just have to wait until a republikan wins again.

Just take your 13 bucks a week and be happy. The papers wouldn’t print anything about a revolt in Montana anyway. No one would notice, no one would care.
By I Live in the Land Where Illegals Live Better Than on 02-24-09
WOW! Look at the ‘Welfare’ Spending in this!$22 Million “Other”?? Probably MORE Welfare
$53 Million Energy & Weatherization, Oh, that’s where people that never worked a single day in their life and live off SSI, will get New Windows, New Insulation, Brand New ‘Energy Star’ Appliances, Brand New Energy Efficient Heating Furnace Systems and Brand New Energy Efficient Air Conditioning Systems, FOR LOW-INCOMES ONLY.
$51 Million Food & Shelter Assistance, Yah, MORE Increased Food Stamps, MORE Food Bank Assistance, MORE Farmer’s Market Vouchers, MORE Faith-Based FOOD Assistance, MORE Free FOOD Commoities, FOR LOW-INCOMES ONLY
Shelter-> MORE HUD-Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, MORE HUD-Section 8 Mobility Moving Assistance Vouchers.
FOR LOW-INCOMES ONLY
$46 Mllion for Head Start & Education for “Disadvantaged”
Nice to be LOW-INCOME these days, you can get the MAXIMUM from Fafsa-PELL GRANT of around $7,000 per year, and here in Crankafornia/Mexifornia they get CalGRANT at around $8,500 giving my Illegal Alien’s neighbor’s daughter eligable to recieve $15,000 for this coming year, she’s going to Community College and plans to use her GRANT Proceeds on a Brand New Car! FOR LOW-INCOMES ONLY
Head Start, Nice, FOR LOW-INCOMES Kids ONLY, your kid cannot get picked up and taken care of and fed all day long and brought back right to your door by the Head Start Bus because you must be LOW-INCOME ONLY. Nice for the SSI & Welfare Parents they can ‘Tweek or Sleep All Day Long’ while their little one’s are all taken care of by the Workers.
Because LOW-INCOME’s like SSI pay ZERO taxes!
And, if you make just an itty-bitty too much, PELL & State GRANTS for college will not give you a single PENNY! I know I recieved NOTHING from PELL or CalGRANT, had to go into the US NAVY for 4 Years, to come back and find out that my lazy SSI neighbor’s that live in a paid for $450,000 California Ranch house on over 25 acres of land, get to get the Max., for their non-Disabled daughter $15,000 a year GRANT money for college.
I have to work along with my Military Grant money, she does NOT.
My Parents work a living, PELL and CalGRANT said, NOPE Your Parents make just an itty-bitty too much.
But the Military does not pay near as well as an SSI’s kid or an Illegal Alien’s kid or an Illegal theirself.
$19 Million for Housing
MORE LOW-INCOME HOUSING. You must be LOW-INCOME to qualify for the ‘Housing’ in the $19 Million GRANT to get any benefit from the ‘Housing’. LOW-INCOME’s ONLY!
Here’s a good one:
$212 Million Highway Construction:
Well, here in Crackafornia/Mexifornia every single Construction Job will ONLY go to Illegal Aliens, as ALL the Construction Jobs are Dominated by Illegal Aliens here.
So, guess I can say that the $212 Million Highway Construction will help Mexico when the Illegal’s send their money back to Mexico from all the Construction Jobs.
By good idea people on 02-24-09
will REALLY notice when there’s nomore money from not enough tax payers to keep giving away all that FREE ‘Welfare’ money.Just look at the Spending in this. It’s right there, ‘Welfare’ Maximus.
There’s already so many people that SEE the benefit of Not Working and “getting” for nothing, they will get onto these Social ‘Entitlement’ Programs to live better than they are Working. Makes sense.
And, the Illegals here in Crackafornia, know EVERYTHING about SSI & SSP, that’s an extra cash check they get from the State, it’s $907 an Individual & $1,569 a Couple tax free here.
So, when your housing, child raising and care and daytime feeding is free, and your house is going to be remodeled for free with brand new appliances, and your heating and air conditioning is almost free with even MORE assistance added, and your FOOD is free, your college is free, your Medical & Dental EVERYTHING is free with no Premiums no-co pay’s nothing for Medicine’s because you fall into the LOW-INCOME Guidelines, yet your own your Home & Property Free & Clear, they why work?
People, including the Illegals once Legalized by O’Boom-Boom will RUN not walk to their nearest Social Security Administration Office to Apply & Qualify for their ENTIRE family to recieve SSI checks!
Then, with too many people, paying NO TAXES, and living for free, not enough people working to pay for all these Welfare Programs, CCCRRRRAAAAASSSSSHHHHHHH…..BOOM!
By to: JB on 02-24-09
Montana tax paying workers and Social Security beneficiaries that worked and paid into the system all their working lives and still pay taxes on their Social Security & premiums on their MediCARE, are ALL paying for Illegal Aliens here in Crackafornia on SSI & CalWORKS & TANF!Yes you and ALL tax payers are!
And SSI-Supplemental Security Income is getting an extra check for $674 per Individual or $1,011 per Couple on April 1st, 2009 along with their regular SSI, ALL TAX FREE ALL THE TIME as SSI pays ZERO taxes.
And, Registered Sex Offenders and Parolle’s are Pre-Qualified While IN PRISON by Social Workers that go into the Prisons and get them Pre-Qualified to get straight onto SSI checks and into HUD-Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher rentals the minute they walk out!
Also, if anyone looks at the ‘Housing’, there is not a single ‘Housing’ GRANT or LOAN Program in there for any other than LOW-INCOMES.
Why did O’Boob-Boob do this?
Do you realize how many Specific Minorities are ON SSI as they have not worked at all or not enough in their entire lives to qualify for Social Security or SSDI-Social Security Disability Income, and after their 5-Year Lifetime Limit runs out from Mommie-Baby Welfare they get straight onto SSI from there!
Simple!
This is WHY O-ZigotZit is a Luva’ of SSI.
By I QUIT on 02-24-09
That’s right I quit paying many taxes a few years ago because I can’t stand what I’ve been paying so much for all these years. My business runs at a “loss” and I have a great accountant. Everything I need or want, anywhere I go, what I drive and the gas that goes in it, lots of what I eat is an “expense”. I live in an old trailer house in Evergreen eight months a year and a beach home in Mexico four, of course the travel is “business”. It’s the “seasonal business” way of life. To run it truly legit would be stupid, I’d be broke just like the average hourly working man. This way I’m still broke but live well. I think I’m more honest than any billionaire CEO.Damn right the only way I could live better is on “the system” but then I’d be bored. I like to work hard and play harder…
By Roark on 02-24-09
If the County and City had a modicum of integrity and morality they would completely reject any and all “stimulus” money.
By stanley on 02-25-09
I quit) sounds like yr just as bad as the low incomes taking advantage. Sounds like you lie on yr expenses a sorts whats the diffeance between what yr doing and what the others are doing.
By I QUIT on 02-25-09
Exactly , Stanley! I do what I must to survive. I’ve learned not to be ashamed of my actions by studying successful examples of the outstanding people we admire and vote for. I know nobody will object to my success at this any more than they do when all their tax money goes to support illegal aliens, worthless leeches, underworked/overpaid govt.employees, unneeded projects, fighting problems for faraway countries who hate us, bank executives who pay themselves outrageous salaries, and the list goes on and on and on. Yes I quit letting people I did not vote for waste my hard earned money. Best of all I know who died for my sins and because of this my own personal afterlife will quite literally be one to die for.
By Freedom on 02-25-09
How many of you have been to Shelby? (I have) That’s where the horse slaughter holding pens are..It is also where the stimulus monies are going in Montana. As was said above, where is Kalispell on that list???

To “I Quit,” hear! hear! I would like to correspond with you directly. How can I get a hold of you?
By I QUIT on 02-25-09
Sorry, Tim, you can’t. A byproduct of this lifestyle is paranoia, unfortunately. I wouldn’t set myself up for a meeting with an IRS investigator posing as an out-of-state commentator who shares (or pretends to share) my attitude of this government, this world, these people and their problems. The method of communication we are using here will suffice and I like it best because we are provoking thought among those who might want to agree or disagree with us. You never know, my lifestyle might cause another to do likewise, after a couple dozen million people do this the government might think about addressing the things that just piss us off. On the other hand some real fart smeller might contribute to this conversation and be able to convince me to knock it off and do my fair share of paying for corruption. I’ll do what my heart and Lord tell me to.
