People don\u2019t need a government-run retirement program to put money aside for their golden years. But this takes money, right? Do you think you could succeed saving some on your own?<\/p>\n
Wish we could jointly respond with a strong \u201cyes.\u201d But we know the reality of a hugely depressed and stagnant economy. It drains family purses quicker than the blink of an eye. How do you save when most employees use their salaries\u2014often two paydays in advance\u2014to provide for basic family needs?<\/p>\n
Eh, someone now wants to talk \u201cpoverty\u201d after he failed on \u201chealth\u201d issues years ago. What other issues of subsequent failure has he prepared for the people in the villages? Anyway, we\u2019re used to lies as part of promises, promises, and more promises than we can remember, yeah? `Nuff lai!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an interesting shift in approach. I think the team wants to trash \u201csolutions driven\u201d in favor of \u201cpoverty.\u201d Food stamps, housing and Medicaid are in place to help the more destitute here fully paid for by the feds. Why would he be mesmerized with the term \u201cpoverty\u201d? This is the very issue he must define and come to terms with before he could even begin eyeing poverty here! Otherwise, it\u2019s Irene Good Nite! Leave recipients alone!<\/p>\n
Political albatross:<\/strong> Republicans have done well luring voter loyalty with generous entitlement programs like the financially troubled retirement system that started sinking since day one in 1979. The program is basically dead, what with some $789 million in unfunded liability. Republicans now steer clear of the issue for it could trigger political catastrophe.<\/p>\n Did you say Ulithi?<\/strong> It then turned to Best Sunshine for the $10 million for utility vouchers donation. Nothing illegal! Since then, it has gone around searching for more donations. It has found \u201cpoverty\u201d speeches near the DPW beach the sheets close to shreds. And it doesn\u2019t have money to dish out to the 51 percent of employees who are under federal poverty income level. How about checking Alter City, Dynasty, Dalai `Ste or Nasty?<\/p>\n Obamacare:<\/strong> Mr. Obama\u2019s signature law is in deep kimchee. Many of the health insurance exchanges throughout the country have gone belly up. Obamacare supposedly designed to guarantee affordable access is inaccessible. It has driven up health premiums beyond the reach of most average citizens. Why would Obama want another government-controlled business that most folks can\u2019t afford? Conservatives are likely to dismantle the program moving forward.<\/p>\n Reduction of CWs:<\/strong> Heads of both sectors\u2014public and private\u2014are worried the heavy reduction of CW workers would wreak havoc on the local economy. Hey, hey, hey! \u201cSolutions driven\u201d team is still in town, yeah? Hell, hasn\u2019t this federal law been around for seven years now and we haven\u2019t seen fit to do anything about it since then? Do you blame Uncle Sam or the elected elite\u2019s inadequacies in real leadership work?<\/p>\n UN birthday:<\/strong> Clifford May, president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, was straightforward addressing the 70th birthday of the UN. He said the only problem with the recent celebration was the UN arm includes appointments of some of the world\u2019s worst human rights violators\u2026thereby making the UN Charter\u2019s commitment to \u201creaffirm faith in fundamental human rights an Orwellian joke.\u201d That says it all in straightforward fashion. Screw the role of the useless world body!<\/p>\n UN Bacon Scare:<\/strong> Two food experts wrote in blaring headlines that processed and red meat cause cancer. There\u2019s more to this misguided assertion, ruled by thorough research as \u201cflimsy at best\u201d than meets the rib eye. Of all places, the issue is under discussion at the UN climate change meeting in Paris. Gee, pro-climate change ultra-environmentalists would go the entire nine yards to offer non-scientific materials to blur the issue. And Obama is at the ready to lecture once over his favorite toy, the teleprompter!<\/p>\n Corp. tax:<\/strong> In trade agreements between European and Asian trading partners we find ways to grant foreigners opportunities to make headway into investing in the country. It seems, though, that we\u2019ve given them the upper hand over the fate of our very own. Must look into prohibitive Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act that has forced our businessmen to renounce citizenship in order to escape punishing regulations on their incomes abroad! There\u2019s also the punitive corporate tax that drives businessmen from the country. Are these too difficult to resolve?<\/p>\n Skillful hypocrisy:<\/strong> The global community is looking for a venue where Obama could deliver a harmless statement that fits his skills or call it pretentious hypocrisy! The Paris Conference on Climate Change slated for Nov.30 to Dec. 11 could be an event that perfectly matches his skills and interests. The mainstream liberal media has opted to skip coverage given that at the end of the day Obama\u2019s only audience is himself!<\/p>\n Flunking basic economics:<\/strong> Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina recently wrote how folks across the country literally struggle daily to make ends meet without much success.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve had more than six years to watch the left\u2019s prescriptions in action and the verdict is in: They don\u2019t work. Under President Obama, the economy has been hobbled. The 73,000-page tax code is too complex to navigate without an army of accountants. The administration has added $7 trillion in new federal debt, and has doubled down on environmental regulations that crush business owners and farmers while raising energy prices.<\/p>\n And yet Hillary Clinton said on Oct. 13 in the first Democratic presidential debate, \u201cThe economy does better when you have a Democrat in the White House,\u201d and she offers variations on that line when campaigning.<\/p>\n Whose economy is she talking about?<\/p>\n Eh, could we check our own backyard too, lai?<\/p>\n The latest fad is \u201cpoverty!\u201d Oh? Let\u2019s see your neutered \u201csolutions driven\u201d mantra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" People don\u2019t need a government-run retirement program to put money aside for their golden years….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[988,55,8157,1743],"class_list":["post-214428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion","tag-best-sunshine","tag-health-2","tag-obamacare-mr","tag-uncle-sam"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214428\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
