Never Hit A Man While He Is Down... Unless??

 Never hit a man while he is down...unless its with words, and the man is a socialist. ~Me

WOW! That is all I have to say about last night. That makes me the one millionth conservative blogger with no followers to comment that way :-). However right after I felt extreme joy, i felt extreme disappointment. Not in Romney, or in the conservative message, but with half of our country.

My disappointment comes from the fact that this was truly the first challenge Obama has had on his presidency. The people who brought us minute to minute critiques of President Bush have been purposefully, and blatantly ignoring Obama's failures and coverups. It disappoints me most, because it is so prevalent, we just expect them to cover and lie for the President, and in a way we are... ok with that. Last night was not Romney just beating Obama at a debate. Last night Romney shed light on the lies that Mainstream media bestow upon us every day.
I have been hearing that Romney flipped on all of his opinions and views last night. At first I was all like, "That's preposterous! His views are the same since he started". Then I realized that they ARE the opposite of what he has been saying. Check that! His opinions and views are the exact opposite of what Chris Matthews, Bill Mahr, Hollywood, and other Lib lapdogs have been telling you he has been saying. I know we say people are brainwashed by the main stream media, but it has never been sooo evident.

What we also learned last night, is that Obama has no idea how the world works outside of government programs. His one answer to the economy and jobs was to hire more teachers, and give more money to the schools. It was almost like he took on the likeness of Trumpka right on stage. Mr. President how will we pay for them? We spend more on education than any other country and education is slipping. More money does not = better anything unless there is a solid foundation for growth.

Romney won the debate by telling hard truth. Free people with fair regulation produce more, and better goods and services than a monopolized government (I still don't know why that is the hard truth..but it is apparently). If private companies had a monopoly on a service with seemingly endless funding, they too would produce crap at a slow pace. In a free fairly regulated economy those "companies" go away at the hands of the consumer.

Last night proved that socialism in the face of a Constitutional Republic does not stand a chance.

Government run entities, that brings me to my next important topic. Government failure at almost everything. One of my favorite critics of big government is John Stossel. He doesn't pander to the ridiculous, he looks at what works and what doesn't. Then he finds out why what is working is working, and why what isn't working isn't working. Then he compares the two. Just like the media, it is sad that he is a pioneer in this way of reporting, should be common sense. I was reading an article of his on RealClearPolitics.com. The title was ' We Fund Dependency' it is an "expose" on government programs that are out there to help people find jobs.
Places like the Manhattan Job's Center and New York's Workforce1. What he and his intern found is that The "Job's" centers run by the government do not actually help people find jobs.

"They told me they don't do that. 'We sign people up for food stamps.' I tried another jobs center. They told me to enroll for unemployment benefits."

 This is after he went around the neighborhood and found nearly 40 entry level job openings. One restaurant owner told him he would hire 12 people if workers would just apply.

He then sent his intern into the lions den...

"I explained that I didn't want handouts; I wanted a job. I was told to go to 'WorkForce1,' a New York City program. At WorkForce1, the receptionist told me that she couldn't help me since I didn't have a college degree. She directed me to another center in Harlem. In Harlem, I was told that before I could get help, I had to come back for an 8:30 a.m. 'training session.'"

Our government helps you apply for handouts immediately, but forces you through a maze if you want to work.

"WorkForce1's website says to arrive 30 minutes early, so I did," Zoelle said. "A security guard told me the building was closed. At 9:15, Workforce1 directed 30 of us into a room where we were told that WorkForce1 directs candidates to jobs and provides a resource room with 'free' phone, fax and job listings and helps people apply for unemployment insurance and disability handouts. This seemed like the only part of the presentation when people took notes.

"One lady told me that she comes to WorkForce1 because it helps her collect unemployment. One asked another, 'What do you want to do?' The second laughed, 'I want to collect!' One told me, 'I've been coming here 17 months; this place is a waste of time.'

"Finally, I met with an 'adviser.' She told me I lacked experience. I know this. I asked for any job she thought I was qualified for, and she scheduled an interview at Pret, a food chain that trains employees. At Pret, I learned that my 'interview' was just a weekly open house, publicized on the company's website. Anyone could walk in and apply. Workforce1 offered no advantage. Despite my 'scheduled interview,' I waited 90 minutes before meeting a manager. He told me that WorkForce1 had 'wasted my time, as they always do.' He said, 'They never call, never ask questions.' He prefers to hire people who seek out jobs on their own, like those who see Pret ads on Craigslist.'"

Sad but true reality for some people

This is how the government works at almost every level. We do not need more funding for these programs, we need to re-examine the use of the programs we have. Like the free market, the gov. should have the programs compete and get rid of the ones that are wasteful.
