THE DOCTOR IS IN _______________
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
On September 8, 2011, President Obama gave his alleged "jobs" speech. What is it with Obama and his talk, talk, talk, but no action. The day following his speech the Dow dropped 303.68. That says a lot folks. Our economy is in the toilet and Obama keeps flushing more and more down the drain by his" hope- hope" and things will get better speeches. I believe one of the most important glaring problems with his speech yesterday was: Extending the unemployment insurance to those people out of work, AGAIN. What a wrong way, lopsided view to pump up the economy. Obama said by extending unemployment benefits that will beef up the economy and make for more jobs. Is he kidding? It doesn't take a person smarter that a fifth-grader to know that extending unemployment benefits for those people that have been out of work for over TWO years will only provide monies for them AGAIN to sit around and collect the government dole out every month and not work.
I say that if Obama and his give-a-way colleagues in Washington are paying these people who are "capable" of working that will not add jobs to the economy. On the contrary, it will keep people from being employed. What needs to be done is for Obama to cut off these outrageous unemployment extensions and I predict that then, and only then, will Obama and his party see a jump in employment. These malingering, lazy people will have to face reality and know that when the money from the unemployment has dried up, they will have to find a job - - ANY JOB.
Right now Obama and his pals have extended unemployment benefits for people over and over again and currently these unemployed people can lay around for 99 weeks (TWO YEARS) without working at any meaningful job.
From numerous research studies it has been found that when a person is out of work for two years, they have no real incentive of returning to work as long as they are being enabled by a paycheck from unemployment funds. And, believe it or not, some of the Obama Democratic crowd want to extend the unemployment benefits to over 113 weeks. What!
What I would like to see and would suggest to Obama is that he return the unemployment benefits package to what it used to be decades ago. It was basically, the unemployed person collected unemployment for a period of 13 weeks and then they received an extension of benefits for an additional 13 weeks. Folks, that's six months of being unemployed. That's a long time to be without a job but most of those people out of work knew they had to find a job within six months or be broke. And, guess what? Most did find a job and the economy rolled along having those people back in the work force. It worked! That unemployment model should be enacted once again.
We middle class taxpayers are on on the hook for supporting the POOR, THE ILLEGAL ALIEN, FREE EDUCATION, FREE HEALTH CARE for special groups, etc., and Obama and the lawmakers keep coming back to the well to ding us again and again. It has to stop. Enough is enough.
With his speech last night and his promise to extend the unemployment benefits to the unemployed again does nothing more that create a brand new segment of society that we taxpayers will have to subsidize. We will now support millions of people NOT TO WORK and they can, with the governments blessing and our tax money to collect a pay check, sit around and live off of that paycheck year after year after year.
The cost of the last unemployment extension was$12 billion dollars so imagine what it will be this time round. Folks, our tax monies is being squandered over and over, and for what? Politics people. Elections are on the horizon and lawmakers want to be reelected. Both parties are at fault on this unemployment fiasco. They should use tough love and insist that six(6) months of unemployment benefits are sufficient for an unemployed person. If the persons unemployment benefits run out after six (6) months and they fail to find a job (which is nearly impossible to do), they can then look to relatives and friends for support. Jobs are out there in such areas as: Fast food, dish washer, food server, gas stations, sales, housecleaning, etc., --the list goes on and on. But these long term unemployed people just refuse to take them.
My thought is: A job, is a job, is a job. The unemployed should take the menial position while looking to better themselves.- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

Governor Rick Perry For President? His Stance on Immigration Leaves a Lot to be Desired
THE DOCTOR IS IN ______________
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
The Republican party is offering up Texas Governor, Rick Perry as a candidate for President. How many of you voters have concerns about his views on Immigration matters? I do. He recently said he is totally against any fence at the Southern Border of the United States. That disappointed me.
However, I am not completely surprised by his actions because it has been reported in the media he has given very favorable treatment to illegal aliens over the years. Since Texas is made up of a very large illegal population he has pandered that segment of society for decades. That might be alright in Texas but to have that same attitude pushed on the rest of the nation is unwarranted.
People from every state in the union has been screaming for immigration control and they clearly want "secure" borders . Currently in some states the illegal alien population runs higher that the legal population. There are many states that are educating illegal alien children at the detriment of our children who are United States citizens.
As an example, lets just look at one demographic (the Hispanic) population. In Nevada the Hispanic population now outnumber other races attending school. And, I don't have to tell all of you reader's about the Hispanic population in California. The cost of supporting illegal aliens and their families by giving them free benefits, free education, free heath care in many states has those states on the brink of bankruptcy.
It appears the United States legal citizens are paying for the comfort and well-being of millions of illegal aliens residing illegally in the country and those illegal aliens pay no consequences. They actually know that the political climate is favorable to their wants and needs.
My thoughts and suggestions would be: Politicians - - -
1. Secure the border, totally, from East to West, with a" fence": Have specific check points to enter through the fence.
2. Federal government should mandate that the E-Verify system be used by each and every employer in the nation so as to verify the citizenship status of the applicants and employees. NO GRANDFATHER clauses. Check past and present employees for legality. The E-Verify system will also stop these cheap, unethical employers from hiring illegal aliens just to save a buck.
3. Immediately stop free education, welfare benefits and health care to the illegal alien.
4. Stop the practice of allowing an illegal alien woman to have a baby on U.S. soil and grant that baby U.S. citizenship. When the illegal has the baby, the parents immediately play the system to stay in the United States and garner numerous freebies at the taxpayers expense. The baby should be a citizen of the parents origin country, NOT THE U.S. As a side note, the Southern border states hospitals are flooded with pregnant illegal alien women crossing in the U.S. for the sole purpose of having the baby on U.S. soil. In fact, many border hospitals have filed bankruptcy or have closed completely because of the illegal alien baby scam. That's wrong!
So, should we elect someone like Governor Rick Perry to be President? Do we need a President that panders to illegal aliens and advocates an illegal alien invasion on the United States? -And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

Rep. Shelly Berkley-Only Looking Out For Herself, Her Family and Friends
THE DOCTOR IS IN _______________
LAS VEGAS-
Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Rep. Shelley Berkley, (NV) appears to have many problems. It looks like she has a conflict of interest when it come to her supporting legislation that does indeed benefit her husband, Dr. Larry Lehrner. The Times published a very informative report. The piece entitled: "A Congresswoman's Cause Is Often Her Husbands Gain." lays out the clear possibility of her using her juice in Washington and assisting her husbands lucrative kidney care medical practice here in Las Vegas. I would think that this reporting by the Times gives her opponent Rep. Dean Heller a leg up on the U. S. Senate seat.
The New York Times showed Berkley's work relating to Nevada's kidney care specialists. Her husband is what else - - a nephrologist, who received a contract at UMC (University Medical Center) in amount of $738,000.00. And, guess what? From all reports, his was the only bid submitted and accepted. Fix in? Who knows?
It should be mention also that Berkley back in 1996 wrote some memos to her old employer, Las Vegas SANDS boss Sheldon Adelson to do some political favors for two Clark County Commissioners. She also told her old boss to contribute to judicial candidates so that future favorable treatment could be realized.
With conduct like this in Berkley's background it makes one ponder how she can represent the people of Nevada honorably and sufficiently when she is so concerned about doing favors for her husband and her financial well-being and having friends and employers doling out favors for her friends holding public office and even pressuring them to contribute to the judiciary so as to ensure future favors from those judges, etc.,---
Folks, I submit that her actions is not government working for the people of the state of Nevada. Instead it looks like government working for the needs of Berkley, her husband and his very lucrative medical practice (which clearly would be of benefit to her well-being) and for benefits to her friends and colleagues that hold public office. Maybe twelve years in office is enough for people like Berkley. She looks like a poster child for term limits on lawmakers. I personally would not vote for a lawmaker that conducts themselves in a manner that uses the position of their office to benefit themselves and friends. No wonder our country is in the shape it is in. Many lawmakers only tend to look out for themselves and their families and friends.- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

Michele Bachmann For President? Not My Vote.
THE DOCTOR IS IN
_______________
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Michele Bachmann for President? Lets look at some situations. - -
Here's a woman that clearly stated that she is prone to severe migraine headaches. I would think that anyone that suffers from severe migraine headaches would be hampered when attempting to make important decisions. The pain of migraines is no joke. They can be quite debilitating. Anyone of you that has experienced a severe migraine may have seen the flashes of light, the explosion effect before the eyes, not discounting the excruciating pain. I would wonder how anyone could really concentrate and keep their mind focused on any specific important matter while the migraine is in effect.
I would also question why many of Michele Bachmann's staff members continually abandon ship. It has been reported in the media that Bachmann is difficult to get along with. That could account for the high-level turnover she has experienced in the past. There were frequent changes in her staff at her congressional office since 2007. There were six(6) chiefs of staff in four years and there were five(5) press secretaries, there were five(5) legislative directors and there were three (3) communications directors.
Some previous staffers have complained about Bachmann's style. From those reports it appears she tries to micro-manage every aspect of every situation. It has been reported that anyone questioning her decisions brings about suspicion on her part and those people that disagree with her are then labeled disloyal. She is said to insist on being involved in the very smallest details.
Folks, that's scary. Paranoid tendency? Maybe. But to my liking, all these things add up to areas of concern that does not make for good Presidential timber. But, -- to each his own. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

Let The Post Office Go Bankrupt. Start Over. Who Needs Union Contracts?
THE DOCTOR IS IN _______________
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Some say that the United States Post Office could go bankrupt. Hooray! Let them go bankrupt and then they could start all over again by voiding out all of the ludicrous union contracts that have been ripping us taxpayers off for years.
I say congress should break its agreement with labor unions and lay off 120,000 postal workers. Why? Here are some good reasons why. Currently the postal union "prohibits the Postal Service from laying off or reassigning workers if equipment is broke down. Postal union workers report to work and are told to go to a break room or cafeteria, have coffee or read and eat food but "do not" do any chores. They just sit there and get paid for zilch. Imagine any employer in the private sector allowing such conduct or having their customers paying for it. It won't happen.
The Postal Service also owes about $1.3 billion dollars to a worker's compensation fund to provide for their postal workers. Beside that the Postal Service owes approximately $5.4 billion dollars to a fund to provide for current and future retirees.
Folks, the Postal Service squandered billions and billions of dollars on these postal worker union employees to enjoy elaborate pensions, bonuses, freebies and free or near free health care. Why do you think that the price of stamps have continually gone up over the years? One of the major reasons was to provide the union benefits for the hundreds of thousands of postal employees.
These postal workers unions , like the teachers unions,(New York Teachers) build these ridiculous, unwarranted clauses in their contracts so they "cannot" be laid off or fired . They write in guarantees of continued employment and continued salaries even though they do no work whatsoever.
Who the devil are these incompetent, lazy, union vote pandering lawmakers that let the Postal unions and Teachers unions dictate their demands that are so obscene that any private employer would tell the employee to hit the street.
People, us taxpayers are paying for employees not to work, we are paying for the employees life time health care, and their families health care when the average middle class worker cannot even afford to buy their own health care. If they do, it is very expensive. We are paying for lucrative pensions and retirements to support these greedy union employees while Mr. & Mrs. middle America worker doesn't have any type of pension or retirement at all. If some middle class workers are lucky enough to actually receive a pension it is only a 401(k) retirement plan.
It's time to stop these unions from buying off the politicians. They promise the lawmakers massive, bloc votes in exchange for the guaranteed free health care, guaranteed promises of not being laid off or fired and fat, enormous pensions, bonuses and retirement plans.
Again, I say:
1. Congress, void all Federal union contacts, start over again.
2. Lay off 120,000 Postal Workers.
3. Instead of a separate pension, retirement plan for these union people make any federal employee pay into the Social Security program like every other private sector employee in the nation.
4. Make a retirement plan for these Federal union people like the ones the private sector worker has to rely on, - - that being a 401(k) retirement plan.
I predict that if Congress would follow my suggestion(s) they would find that there would be tens of thousands of people standing in line for those jobs and would be willing to work without "GUARANTEES" like the ones postal workers currently enjoy.
Further, if John or Jane Doe who may be working as a food server, convenience store worker, roofer, plumber etc., is required to depend on a Social Security check and a 401(k) when they stop working, the same should apply to these union workers. No more, no less.
No one group should be entitled and have guarantees that other employees do not have. Any person in the public sector should be able to be fired or laid off just like people in the private sector. Period! And, that's my opinion . Make your own decisions. You decide.

Broken Promises By Our Commander-In-Chief, Obama
THE DOCTOR IS IN
_______________
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
The United States economy is in a free fall. The computerized stock market swings of a few hundred points from day to day is no help. Where is the stock market of old? Wall Street is playing with these computers like a daily trader in a video game. The big corporations make out and the middle class person continues to lose ten, twenty and up to 26 percent of their pension, retirement 401(k) value in one day.
BUT, what does Obama say: "The stock market rises and falls." That's it? Hey! He has his financial program secure so,-- to hell with the middle class wage earner who's hanging on by their fingertips. Money talks and his B.S. walks. His constant mantra of "Hope" just don't cut it. Obama, everybody has hope. People HOPE they will get a job; if they are employed, they HOPE they will get a small raise; if they are underwater in their mortgage they HOPE that they can find a way to keep their home. Hope is just just a a word but ACTIONS speak much louder than words and there has been no action by either Obama, our lawmakers or Congress.
Folks, words and HOPE speeches just don't cut it. Actions are the watchword and Obama and Congress has clearly failed in taking any actions to turn our American economy around.
Democrats don't comprise and Republicans do not compromise. They take a stance for their self-serving political gain and reelections and forgot about serving the people of this nation by doing the people's business.
Christ, Obama comes up with a new excuse everyday as to why he is not to blame for this countries serious problems . I mean, look: One day Obama says our woes are because of the Republicans refusal to compromise; another day he says it is the Tea Parties fault we are in this mess; then, he says he inherited all of these problems ; another day goes by and he says it is George Bush who did this to our country; then again, another day he blames our suffering on Europe. People, it's everybody else's fault except his. He looks to blame everyone and everything on everyone else and fails to take any responsibility for his lack of leadership, his lack of determination and his lack of strength. Talk about a waffle - - he has waffled so much on policy, promises and leadership that his first name could be "Eggo".
Here's a man that has never run a business, held a 9-to-5 job, has never served in the military, he has had no political experience other than running around the streets of Chicago as some sort of street organizer. His experience is Zilch, Zero. His voting record in Illinois is plain vanilla and bland. Most of his votes were "present" and nothing significant or substantial. Obama was a person that failed to take a stand on any issues. Instead he would rather not vote one way or the other.
This guy looks like he has never taken a strong stand or position on any relevant issue when voting. I think what we have in Obama as as President is a person that would rather be a teacher or professor at some university and make speeches to motivate his students so that they could pass his class.
As President, Obama has failed miserably - - Oh, by the way, I did vote for Obama. But, never, never again. After watching him try to lead this country and seeing how he broke his promises over and over again to all of us Americans and after seeing how he (a person with no military experience whatsoever, of any kind) became a war-monger by squandering billions of dollars of our hard earned tax money in promoting and extending at least three wars around the world. I lost confidence in this man. Yes, I said three (3) wars. The administration wants to acknowledge two wars but here's my three: ONE- Iraq (cost- billions of US dollars); TWO- Afghanistan(cost- billions of US dollars) and THREE- Pakistan (cost-billions of US dollars). People we are fighting a covert war in Pakistan that is hidden from public view here in the USA. The government wants to handle this war on the down low. They continually send drone attacks inside the Pakistan borders and they have covert ops inside the country of Pakistan and have a mission to continue military operations inside that country. So, yes! THREE wars.
I would submit that if Obama was a man of his word and brought the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan as well as those operating in Pakistan, just the saving of all those military costs could pay out national debt down by leaps and bounds. Just that one task of troops home would excite and revitalize and improve our economy. Further, I would submit that if only that one action was taken there would be jobs everywhere because our manufacturing and industrial and technological engine would be revived using the returning military in those jobs rebuilding this country. With all of the money saved by bringing the military home, we here in America could rebuilt roads, schools, electric grids, feed the starving kids, feed out homeless and begin to put this country back on the track it enjoyed following the end of World War II.
So, bottom line - -if Obama would get a backbone and take a stand and end these three unnecessary wars, redistribute all of those billions of military dollars that was give-a-ways to other countries so we could buy their favor we clearly could turn this nations economy around very quickly. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
The United States economy is in a free fall. The computerized stock market swings of a few hundred points from day to day is no help. Where is the stock market of old? Wall Street is playing with these computers like a daily trader in a video game. The big corporations make out and the middle class person continues to lose ten, twenty and up to 26 percent of their pension, retirement 401(k) value in one day.
BUT, what does Obama say: "The stock market rises and falls." That's it? Hey! He has his financial program secure so,-- to hell with the middle class wage earner who's hanging on by their fingertips. Money talks and his B.S. walks. His constant mantra of "Hope" just don't cut it. Obama, everybody has hope. People HOPE they will get a job; if they are employed, they HOPE they will get a small raise; if they are underwater in their mortgage they HOPE that they can find a way to keep their home. Hope is just just a a word but ACTIONS speak much louder than words and there has been no action by either Obama, our lawmakers or Congress.
Folks, words and HOPE speeches just don't cut it. Actions are the watchword and Obama and Congress has clearly failed in taking any actions to turn our American economy around.
Democrats don't comprise and Republicans do not compromise. They take a stance for their self-serving political gain and reelections and forgot about serving the people of this nation by doing the people's business.
Christ, Obama comes up with a new excuse everyday as to why he is not to blame for this countries serious problems . I mean, look: One day Obama says our woes are because of the Republicans refusal to compromise; another day he says it is the Tea Parties fault we are in this mess; then, he says he inherited all of these problems ; another day goes by and he says it is George Bush who did this to our country; then again, another day he blames our suffering on Europe. People, it's everybody else's fault except his. He looks to blame everyone and everything on everyone else and fails to take any responsibility for his lack of leadership, his lack of determination and his lack of strength. Talk about a waffle - - he has waffled so much on policy, promises and leadership that his first name could be "Eggo".
Here's a man that has never run a business, held a 9-to-5 job, has never served in the military, he has had no political experience other than running around the streets of Chicago as some sort of street organizer. His experience is Zilch, Zero. His voting record in Illinois is plain vanilla and bland. Most of his votes were "present" and nothing significant or substantial. Obama was a person that failed to take a stand on any issues. Instead he would rather not vote one way or the other.
This guy looks like he has never taken a strong stand or position on any relevant issue when voting. I think what we have in Obama as as President is a person that would rather be a teacher or professor at some university and make speeches to motivate his students so that they could pass his class.
