You Can Go Broke With A Government Shutdown Legally
Unless you’ve been living in a cave recently – Osama, you can stop reading here – you know that the Republicans have blocked the passage of the appropriations bills that apply to all federal spending between April 8 and September 30, so we are facing a government shutdown.
And as the White House has patiently pointed out, that means no more government-backed mortgages, which now account for 95% of the housing market.
No more government student loans. No more government small-business loans.
No pay for the troops, who are now embroiled in three wars. They still have to fight. They just won’t be paid for it. Despite the Thirteenth Amendment.
No tax refunds, just one week before taxes are due.
No federal grants for roads, schools, or pretty much anything else.
No new medical research at the National Institutes of Health.
And hundreds of thousands of federal employees added to the unemployment rolls.
But there is one thing that you can still do, if the government shuts down.
You can go broke.
I’m a licensed attorney, and yesterday I received this cheerful reminder from a bankruptcy court to which I’m admitted:
“The Court will continue to operate, business as usual, on Monday, April 11, 2011.”
The staff, the bankruptcy court explained, will be paid out of “fee revenue and other sources.” Anyone who wants to petition for bankruptcy will be welcome to do so.
So there it is. When the Republicans shut down the government, health and safety, housing and even transportation are all at risk. But the one thing that you can be sure you can still do is . . . go broke.
For the bankruptcy courts, it’s “business as usual.” And the bankruptcy business is booming.
But leaving that one exception to the government shutdown aside, it’s now official. The Party of No is now the Party of No Government. The Party of Anarchy. The Party of Chaos.
And remember this: The White House and the Democratic Leadership have agreed (rightly or wrongly) to what the Republicans originally demanded for the 2011 budget -- $30 billion in social spending cuts. Yet now the Republicans are demanding twice as much: $60 billion in 2011 social spending cuts.
But just three months ago, the Republicans insisted on $70 billion in 2011 in tax cuts for the rich. I’m pretty sure that $70 billion is more than $60 billion, any way you look at it. So except for those tax cuts for the rich, we wouldn’t be having this argument.
Please make a note on your calendar. November 6, 2012. Election Day. That’s when it will be our turn to punish them, the way that they’ve tried to punish all of us.
Courage,
Alan Grayson

True Americans Terrorist
The real terrorists aren’t overseas any more, they are changing our laws to make the rich richer and the poor poorer and get rid of the middle class Americans altogether.
The Insurance companies, Wall Street Bankers, the Oil Companies, and other are paying the Republican Party Candidates to make sure that laws are not passed to regulate these industries.
The defunding of the National Public Radio (NPR) has nothing to do with lowering the deficit that the Republican Party has been claiming. The NPR has been telling the truth on all of its broadcasting and helps people get information that would otherwise not be able to get. The real reason to defund NPR is that it reveals the lies that not only Republicans spread but also the Democrats and the Fox Channel.
Anyone that votes to defund the NPR is put on my American Terrorist List. This list is below and the votes were taken on March 17, 2011. If these people are your representatives you should call them and complain to them now and when election comes up, vote them out.
H.R.1076: To prohibit Federal funding of National Public Radio and the use of Federal funds to acquire radio content.

VIDEO: America Is NOT Broke
Michael Moore
America is not broke.
Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP War on Women
Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP War on Women
1) Republicans not only want to reduce women’s access to abortion care, they’re actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven’t.
2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to “accuser.” But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain “victims.”
3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)
4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.
5) In Congress, Republicans have proposed a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life.
6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids’ preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.
7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.
Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.
9) Congress voted yesterday on a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.
10) And if that wasn’t enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can’t make this stuff up).

Boehner & Ryan's Ridiculous CBO/Health Care Job-Killer Lies
So yesterday the CBO announces that the cost of Repealing Health Care Reform would be $230 Billion over ten years - and to this newly minted Speaker Boehner proclaims that he's possess the powers of Professor X.
Well, I do not believe that repealing the job-killing health care law will increase the deficit," Boehner replied. "CBO is entitled to their opinion, but they're locked within constraints of the 1974 Budget Act."
...
"I don't think anybody in this town believes that repealing Obamacare is going to increase the deficit."
Oh, so he has the mutant power to know what everyone else believes, does he? Like wow. Time to take on Magneto and the Brotherhood of Evil now, I guess.
