Give Us Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Nuclear Waste

Posted on by

Mr Obaka offered to take the world’s nuclear waste yesterday.

And already there are respondents.

Canada jumped at the offer: nuclear radwaste, here it goes — from Canada — and here it comes, United States:

To secure a widespread agreement, he (Mr Obaka) needs allies. Mr. Harper obliged, paving the way for what the President hopes will be a flood of other countries who will commit to sending the U.S. their huddled mass of spent enriched uranium for safe storage. “This sets an example of co-operation for others to follow,” the Prime Minister said, noting Canada will also save money currently being spent on security.

But here’s where the irony comes in, the bit of tongue-in-cheek.

One must naturally ask: does domestic nuclear waste go to any particular location?

Yucca Mountain, in Nevada, is being eyeballed as a repository for domestic nuclear waste storage. That happens to be right in Harry Reid territory. Darn. Imagine that.

But wait; there’s more: Harry Reid objects to Nevada being tasked with the storage of national nuclear waste. Certainly, Nevada consists of one big flat-assed desert which essentially produces nothing in terms of contributing to the national foodbasket or other productive aspects.

Nevada has, historically, been all about making money for itself. Via legalized gambling and lower taxes for its residents.

I would ask: what has it managed to give back to the nation? Area 51? Las Vegas? Reno?

Yet Harry Reid objects to Nevada having to pull, now, its own weight. Yucca Mountain? No! he says. He’ll do everything he can to block Yucca Mountain.

Otherwise, where is domestic radwaste stored?

Currently, without any central repository, nuclear waste generated in the U.S. is stored at or near one of the 121 facilities across the country where it is generated.

Meaning this: if you have a nuclear facility near you, that is where hundreds or thousands of pounds of deteriorating radwaste is languishing, with half-lives of up to 10,000 years.

Because there is no central repository for domestic waste. Thanks to the Demorats.

And Mr Obaka — a Demorat — wants to extend his divine arms to encompass the world’s nuclear waste?

Where will it go?

I might submit: perhaps someplace, to start, in DC?

Doctors, Hospitals, Obaka — and LIES

Posted on by

ObakeKare was passed with a massive tumultuous “huzzah” by the ignorant masses.
“Huzzah, huzzah,” the ignorant Free Cheese masses exulted! “We shall receive our Free Cheese with no cost to us — it couldn’t be better than that!”
Except for one thing:
There is NO such thing as “Free Cheese.” The US is already facing a challenge of fewer doctors and nurses.
The new federal health-care law has raised the stakes for hospitals and schools already scrambling to train more doctors.
Experts warn there won’t be enough doctors to treat the millions of people newly insured under the law. At current graduation and training rates, the nation could face a shortage of as many as 150,000 doctors in the next 15 years, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
That shortfall is predicted despite a push by teaching hospitals and medical schools to boost the number of U.S. doctors, which now totals about 954,000.
The greatest demand will be for primary-care physicians. These general practitioners, internists, family physicians and pediatricians will have a larger role under the new law, coordinating care for each patient.
The U.S. has 352,908 primary-care doctors now, and the college association estimates that 45,000 more will be needed by 2020. But the number of medical-school students entering family medicine fell more than a quarter between 2002 and 2007.

If you ever think you’ll be attended by four doctors at once in an ER, you are about to be sorely mistaken.

Spending Threatens “Social Cohesion”

Posted on by

Our current economic path is unsustainable.

Even if I agreed with the societal aspects of ObakaKare, amnesty for illegal Mexican invaders, CapNTax — even if I agreed with those items I would object to their implementation for one very core and salient reason: we can’t afford it.

We have expanded government to the point that we truly are on the cusp of a societal revolution — and, of course, Mr Obaka has indicated that he already wishes to “transform” America but he fails to specifically delineate that manner of this so-called transformation and, further, what this transformation means and what it looks like.

I say: from this point on, any additional penny spent by the federal government is unsustainable.

And I suspect Mr Obaka’s “transformation” involves nothing more than massive additional spending coupled with mandated societal “reforms.”

It is all: UNSUSTAINABLE.

Did you happen to read the below article in the UK Telegraph? Likely not — because, after all, if you wish to find out what’s actually occurring in this country you must seek out the UK media. Your DEM/MSM will purposely tell you little should it be remotely considered deleterious or harmful to Mr Obaka or his regime of sniveling jackanapes:

The world’s five biggest AAA-rated states are all at risk of soaring debt costs and will have to implement austerity plans that threaten “social cohnesion”, according to a report on sovereign debt by Moody’s.

“Growth alone will not resolve an increasingly complicated debt equation. Preserving debt affordability at levels consistent with AAA ratings will invariably require fiscal adjustments of a magnitude that, in some cases, will test social cohesion,” said Pierre Cailleteau, the chief author.

With one large caveat: Mr Obaka envisions absolutely NO “austerity plans” whatsoever. If anything, there is nothing but more and more spending on the horizon.

Yet, I am firmly convinced that our own “social cohesion” will shortly be sorely tested by the current path of Mr Obaka. “Testing social cohesion” is a warm-n-fuzzy phrase for violence, riots and counter-revolution.

One has only but to cast an eye at Greece and its current situation. Union workers and youths have been rioting, encouraged by Left Wing elements. This is called foreshadowing, ladies and gentlemen.

Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he’ll eat you last.
– Ronald Reagan -October 27, 1964

Consequences are already beginning to occur:

Drudge indicates that “personal income drops 3.2% since Obama.”

Because of the passage of ObakaKare, 60 new hospitals have been canceled.

66% of Americans believe they are already over-taxed.

Rasmussen says that “ever since the health care bill was passed, a majority of voters have wanted to repeal it.”

Public servants say, always with the best of intentions, “What greater service we could render if only we had a little more money and a little more power.” But the truth is that outside of its legitimate function, government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector. – Ronald Reagan, October 27, 1964

The federal government is left with only three options. These options are immured in stone and unassailable. Mr Obaka will have to take at least one of the these three paths:

1. Cut spending
2. Raise taxes
3. Print money

I suspect there will be a massive tax pogrom, and the correlation will be to print more money which will demand inflation and, perhaps, hyper-inflation. From there a true depression may actually issue.

Fiscally, I submit that the United States are about to tank economically. I also submit that, concomitant with this, there will be — kindly phrased — a “challenge” to societal cohesion.

You mark my words. No one — NO ONE — will be talking about spending cuts. Not even some of the Republicans.

In the meantime, our Mr Obaka bows to ChiComs.

We, the US, we’re wrong; everyone else is right.

Mr Obaka is forcing us down the path of fiscal unsustainability. I submit that you should be preparing for that very eventuality.
