POPSFaith in Free-Market Capitalism Is Being Rewarded The biggest source of economic stimulus is not the $800 billion Barack Obama spending package. It's the $4.6 trillion of capital gains thrown off by the stock market over the past three quarters. This is investment money, and it also enhances consumer spending. As a result, jobs are likely to start rising early in 2010. The other source of economic stimulus is the amount of money Michael Moore invests in Dominos Pizza and Krispy Kreme, only later to bemoan those same corporations in which he owns shares. Michael Moore-on's movie in which he capitalistically makes money off of gullible liberals’ hatred of capitalism? Seriously, not only did that movie bomb, but the hippo-like hypocrite became enchanted by the ideals of socialism when he took an economics class while coked out of his mind. Using socialism to help revive a failing economy is like putting angry weasels down your pants because you need some rest.

POPS10 Reasons Why Republicans Will Win in 2010
CAP and TAX – Another massive tax increase on American families and small businesses. Ben Nelson’s Payoff – Ben Nelson sold his health care vote to Harry Reid for $300+ million in lower taxes for Nebraska. The $12 Trillion+ National Debt – Democrats in Congress spending money they don’t have. Mortgaging our children’s future. Nationwide Unemployment rate at 10% - The Democrats are spending money like it’s going out of style and yet they are ignoring policies that would create new jobs. The Government Takeover of Health Care - If the bill that comes out of Congress is signed into law, it will amount to a massive government expansion into our daily lives. It is the number one reason why Democrats should be defeated. Huck PAC is determined to lead the charge next year to regain Republican Majorities in the House and Senate. We will only support conservatives. We have a December online fundraising goal that we are $9,119 away from reaching. Will you make a donation today to

POPSThe First 12 Months of Obama Captivity 12.28.2009
1. With their bogus jobs' and economy "stimulus packages," Obama and the US Congress continue to bleed the American people dry of all of their money and resources. In actual fact, the actions from Obama show that he has followed and is following the advice of one of his mentors, Saul Alinsky, in destroying the US middle-class by destroying its private sector companies and, therefore, its jobs. Forget about these jobs coming back, folks. As predicted, unemployment rates have risen and will continue to rise. The mission of The Obama is to destroy all that is the USA. As I wrote when the first stimulus package was announced, and other well-known entities have since picked up on it, it was created and is now being used as, yet, another Marxist-Democrat slush fund. 2. On 17 December 2009 with Executive Order 12425, Barack Hussein Obama gave foreign police force INTERPOL immunity from Congressional action and the US Constitution's Fourth Amendment

POPSChina's high speed train line completed in just 4 years Now this is real stimulus. The U.S. has nothing like this. The only "stimulus" the present idiotic administration can come up with is throwing good money at the useless trade unions in the auto industry for more votes and payback for their support, and to bail out the fat cats in banks and on wall street. It is clear to me. this trojan horse empty suit is trying to wreck our economy.

POPSChina begins 1000 km high speed rail link I recently took the 330 km/hr (200+ mph) train from Beijing to Tianjin. It is stunning, smooth, and ultra modern. Now this is real stimulus. Our U.S. administration are total idiots first by a stiulus that is nothing but political pork, and throwing good money after bad in bailing out the failing U.S. car industry. The U.S. does not have anything comparing to this Chinese train. Our infrastructure is failing badly, and we are rapidly becoming a third world country, thanks to the fools who voted in an empty suit marxist president.

POPSBombshell: Crist 43, Rubio 43 Oh my. That caused me to have an intake of breath! Great news. I had noticed a couple (& I do mean a couple) of Rubio signs around our liberal dominated city but now I'm excited. I read recently that Rubio admitted that if he were Governor he, too, would have accepted *some* of the Stimulus money for Fla. but the rest of him seems like a true conservative. You never know what or who they *really* are until it comes time to vote and/or govern but there is no doubt that I support Rubio over Crist.

POPSWhy Dontcha Ask WTF the Stimulus Was For? Conyers rude, disrespectful to FOX reporter who asked, how are you going to get something that's not specifically in the name of race if blacks are their target for assistance. Conyers snapped, we've said that it is persons of color & minorities who've been hit hardest and are the worse off. YOU GOT THAT? Jackson Lee explained, in her wisdom, that of course when the minorities are helped that whites on need will also be helped and ultimately this is about need - not color. Yes'm. Thanky.

POPSRUNNING OUT OF BULLETS “Why are we listening to any of those guys down there? They’re making our situation worse,” he said. “They said in writing yesterday the solution to our problem is to spend more money … that’s what got us into this problem: too much debt.” “That’s like saying to Tiger Woods, ‘you get another girlfriend and it will solve your problems’ or ‘five more girlfriends and you will solve your problems,’” he said. “We’re all going to pay the price for this in, one, two, three years,” Rogers added. “The next time that we have problems in the economy, which will not be too long, we don’t have any bullets left. We’ve shot everything we had to solve our problems.” “What are they going to do, quadruple the debt again? Print more money? We don’t have any trees left. We’re running out of trees.

POPSMcCain, Coburn Target 100 Stimulus Projects The duo, who have railed against “wasteful spending” in recent years, put out their “stimulus checkup” shortly before President Barack Obama made a speech at the Brookings Institution outlining new job-creation proposals. McCain, from Arizona, and Coburn, from Oklahoma, say the projects they’ve identified “raise questions about how stimulus money has been used so far.” The White House said it would look at the projects cited in the report but that it should be “taken with a grain of salt,” noting that Coburn’s earlier reports on stimulus spending have included errors. A spokesman for Coburn hit back, pointing out that the data used by the administration to estimate the impact of the stimulus hasn’t been perfect. “The stimulus office might want to revisit its job creation estimates before it lectures others about accuracy,” said John Hart.

POPSEconomy: Bush's Fault... yet, The Rats Are Jumping Ship— Members of President Obama’s own political party are charging that the White House and the Democratic Congressional leadership are not doing enough to help the unemployed and are threatening to organize a march on Washington of jobless Americans. “Obviously there’s something that’s not getting through to them,” said Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Illinois. “And we’re going to let the White House and everybody who’s concerned know that we have got people in our districts who are depending on us to deliver for them.” Rush and Kaptur argue that a new jobs program is more important than health care reform, but stop short of threatening to hold up a vote on one of Obama’s most important domestic policy initiatives. “We’re not there yet,” Kaptur said. Some of the proposals being floated by the caucus include: redirecting existing stimulus and TARP money to jobs programs and pressing for a new jobs bill, which they’re careful not to call a “stimulus.”

POPSRed Ink and Jobs If I recall correctly, the stimulus package was to keep unemployment under 8 percent. It is over 10. So, congress wants to spend more money to create jobs. They will want to spend $1 trillion and promise to keep unemployment under 15 percent. Watch it rise to 20 percent. We need to take our country back, leave no incumbent in office.

POPSStimulus Dollars, TARP Funds, And A Flu Shot Fiasco So where is the “stimulus” money? What happened to that crucial $787 billion that President Obama had to spend, to “get the economy rolling again?” We are told that only a portion of the money has been spent thus far, yet the Obama Administration has taken legal steps to prevent Obama’s “recovery czars” from being questioned about the money by Congress. Recklessness and incompetence of this magnitude, with such enormous amounts of other people’s money, would be grounds for immediate termination among private sector executives and managers. And the problem doesn’t begin and end with Democrats: recall that the $700 million “TARP” program was created by Republican President George W Bush last year, and Bush himself was the first to violate the intended purposes of the program by handing-over nearly $14 billion in loans to Chrysler and G.M. (Obama continued doing this after he took office, until the two companies met their inevitable fate of bankruptcy).

POPS $6.4 Billion Stimulus Goes to Phantom Districts ..... Bill McMorris November 17 Many other recipients carried the banner for congressional districts that have been defunct for decades. South Carolina’s 7th took the cake, garnering more than $27 million in stimulus funds, despite being eliminated in 1930. The stimulus helped to create 35 congressional districts in Washington D.C. and the four American territories, all of which have no congressional districts. These areas received $5 of the $6.4 billion distributed to the non-existent districts. New Mexico Watchdog broke the story on Monday morning after finding that $26 million in stimulus money had been distributed to 13 congressional districts"ten more than the state actually has. Similar reports soon followed from New Hampshire, Kansas, Ohio, Minnesota and West Virginia. A reporter from the Montana Policy Institue confronted the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, which oversees the site, about these non-existent congressional districts on Monday afternoon.

POPS Obama’s ACORN Connection Can’t Survive Inspection When combined with the admissions of the member, it provides additional proof that ACORN and SEIU " with the help of the Obama presidential campaign " intentionally took government and tax exempt donations through organizations like Project Vote to run a partisan voter registration drive aimed at electing Obama. As President ,Obama has paved the way for ACORN and SEIU to receive stimulus money and ACORN favorites to receive prime appointments to both executive and judicial positions. Of course, Obama has admitted to limited ties with ACORN. But Americans have witnessed Obama run the country like one big ACORN office and trying to implement ACORN’s radical agenda. With so much to lose, lawmakers are concerned about the lengths to which Obama will go to in order to protect ACORN. Congressman Steve King of Iowa released a statement today suggesting that a cover-up may be being executed under the guise of an investigation: “Bob Bauer has a public record of defending .....

POPSSchwarzenegger quietly kills effort to get commuter rail funds More: Eliminated from the state application for federal funds was almost $170 million for positive train control — computer-guided braking systems designed to prevent crashes and allow conventional trains to safely travel at 110 mph. Such automated systems, which the federal government wants installed by 2015, would have prevented the commuter rail crash in suburban Los Angeles last year that killed 25 people in the worst rail accident in modern California history. Also removed was $969 million in railroad crossing improvements, track additions, overpasses and maintenance projects designed to benefit the corridor between San Diego and Los Advertisement Angeles as well as the main rail line through Ventura and Santa Barbara counties. One major goal of commuter rail services has been to reduce the travel time between San Diego and Los Angeles from about three hours to two hours.

POPSEven more lies, damned lies and stimulus jobs So we've now seen reports of goosing stimulus job stats in Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, California, New Hampshire, Florida, Ohio, New Jersey, Virginia and Texas. (Ed Morrissey at Hot Air has more thoughts on the California story, as well as a round-up of some of the other state reports on stimulus chicanery.) At first the White House was owning up to "persisting errors" in the stimulus jobs data -- but when all the supposed errors seem to create the illusion of more jobs and are widespread from coast to coast, it sure looks like a deliberate ruse to hide the stimulus' clear failings. The White House needs to explain how this is happening before it turns into a full-fledged scandal.

POPSJobless Rate Jumps to 10.2% How much of that Stimulus money has gone overseas to *create* US jobs over there? I guess Ms. Pelosi will say we need to extend the unemployment benefits even more and her health care bill will be needed now more than ever. The American people can not win with this crowd. This Administration is Carter on steroids.

POPS Economic Stimulation I’m a little late to today’s economic-stimulus exasperation party. Sorry. I was busy working at my unstimulated private-sector job, which uses pulp, ink, trucks, pens, notebooks and a lot of eletronics plus electricity and employs hundreds of taxpayers directly and indirectly to tell people how the hacks are trying to shaft them in Boston. It was great. I enjoyed it. Even though, far from looking for or getting any support, we’ve had to fight the government over simple things like the freedom to enter business relationships with other news organizations that might have made us more financially viable. Thank you, Ted Kennedy, liberal lion.
