Saudi Prince: War Against ISIS Really About Removing Assad #28pages #Uncover911

Published on Sep 29, 2014

Prince Turki Al-Faisal, former Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S., tells CBS This Morning Anchor Norah O'Donnell, he hopes the airstrikes that include Saudi planes against ISIS are the first step in ultimately removing Syrian leader Bashar Assad and does not see any reason why they shouldn't send in Saudi ground troops if necessary. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/this-morn...

Don't forget we are looking for the declassification of 28 pages which allegedly exposes the involvement of foreign agents in 9/11 and Saudi Arabia has been named.  Read more here.

Federal Taxes Lowest Since 1950 #2012

Does this explain why cities and states and the federal government are suffering so much in terms of their budget? Or is it overspending? Or both.

Taxes as a percentage are lower. The number of taxpayers are fewer (with greater unemployment) but expenditures are greater with significant defense and military spending (WAR), poor performance of state pension funds (invested in AAA rated mortgage backed securities), union contracts (which support seniority rather than performanced based pay), the financial bailout (TARP - which has been paid back to a great degree), and skyrocketing healthcare costs affecting Medicare and Medicaid. Social Security is in good shape.

So why the all out class warfare by the right on planned parenthood, and public pension plans?

Why the ignorant defense of unions by the left?

We need to come together and solve the country's problems. Not distract from the real issues with partisan politics.

#Peakoil is real and we will need to DRAMATICALLY change the way we live. SOON.

Our pursuit for any oil and gas and minerals (WAR in Iraq and Afghanistan) to fund our continuous plan for growth is NOT SUSTAINABLE with depleting natural resources. Our current economic model cannot run without energy.

By one measure, federal taxes lowest since 1950

WASHINGTON — Think your taxes are too high? As a share of the nation's economy, Uncle Sam's tax take this year will be the lowest since 1950.

And for the third straight year, American families and businesses will pay less in federal taxes than they did under President George W. Bush, thanks to a weak economy and a growing number of tax breaks for the wealthy and the poor. Read more at www.usatoday.com

A view is often expressed that the military budget is a cornerstone of the U.S. economy. The Pentagon is often said to be a major underwriter of, and stimulus to, important technical innovations.
It is also often cited as a major employer, providing good jobs—jobs that are stable and at least decently paid—to millions of Americans.

GOP budget would actually INCREASE defense spending

When is enough enough? If the GOP was serious - and we know that they're not - they would cut into the DoD budget which is already the most bloated of them all. Let's not squeeze the poor with stripping heating subsidies or cutting school lunch programs and then let the fattest of the fat cat get even larger. CNNMoney:

By that measure, defense would not be hit by the $60 billion in spending cuts passed by the House before dawn on Saturday.

In fact, the defense budget would increase to $533 billion, up from $526 billion currently. Read more at pwtenny.newsvine.com
