One is from Chicago, another is from Kentucky, and the third is from New Orleans.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.
The New Orleans contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil.
“Well,” he says, “I figure the job will run about $9,000. That’s $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me.”
The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $7,000.
That’s $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me.”
The Chicago contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$27,000.”
The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure?”
“The Chicago contractor whispers back, “$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Kentucky to fix the fence.”
“Done!” replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the Government works.
Remember… Four boxes keep us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.

Social Security, Medicare Open to Illegals Under Amnesty Plan
Except they do get to bring in their relatives!
President Barack Obama’s plan to bring illegal immigrants “out of the shadows” will make millions of them eligible for Social Security and Medicare benefits and likely allow them to eventually collect more than they have legally contributed, reports say.
That part of the plan has some Republicans stunned.
“First with Obamacare we were told we should pass it and then read it to find out what was in it,” Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski told The Washington Post.
“Now Obama overreached and acted unilaterally on immigration, which should have been vetted and authorized by Congress, and we’re finding out there’s more to the story than Obama and the Democrats originally told Americans.”
According to a federal law signed in 1996, people who have FICA payroll taxes collected under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act can collect Social Security and Medicare when they become eligible, if they are deemed “lawfully present…

Obamacare: Most-Used Plans Face Double-Digit Average Premium Increases – Guy Benson
The cost increases will accelerate until the people demand that the government take over health care. Then the real problems will began.
The average price of the most popular ObamaCare health insurance plans rose 10 percent for 2015, according to a new study of premium figures published Friday by the Department of Health and Human Services HHS…Not only are premiums increasing, but if consumers do not pick a different plan, they could pay more due to annual changes in how subsidies are calculated.
That’s according to the administration itself — and we know how scrupulously transparent they are about reporting unhelpful news, don’t we? This double-digit average increase for consumers who’ve signed up for Obamacare’s most popular plans speaks to another problem we addressed over the summer: Namely, as the exchanges’ so-called “benchmark” plans change from year to year, a large number of customers will be forced to decide between absorbing higher costs as previous benchmark plans hike their rates, and uprooting themselves from their existing plan — again, in many cases. And, as usual, this doesn’t even…

THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS AT THE HEART OF THE DEBT ENSLAVEMENT SYSTEM THAT DOMINATES OUR LIVES
As a trained economist I would have minor disagreements with a few of the points presented here, but they are of an academic perspective and so mostly ill-relevant. The bottom line is that we are in deep dodo!
Robert Rector: Amnestied Illegal Immigrants to Cost Taxpayers $2 Trillion Over Their Lifetime
Virtual none of the illegal aliens that Obama praises are educated self reliant people — those come in legally. So we are left with an influk of underclass people and their dependents. Their status may not be of their making but that is a mute point since they are going to be added to the dependent roles here. So as this post states there will be a stiff price for the middle class to absorb to support then — think of them as becoming a member of your family for where you pay directly or though taxes — you will end up with less of your pay check than you had before.
The undocumented immigrants granted amnesty by President Barack Obama’s executive orders will likely cost taxpayers $2 trillion, according to Heritage Foundation poverty expert Robert Rector.
“The net cost — which is total benefits minus total benefits paid in — of the amnesty recipients I estimate will be around $2 trillion over the course of their lifetime,” Rector explained in an interview with Breitbart News Monday. He added that the calculation is based on the assumption that 4 million undocumented immigrants will participate and they will live, on average, 50 years.
According to Rector — who has published extensively on welfare, poverty, and immigration — the cost has two components: The first is the potential to access Social Security and Medicare, given amnestied undocumented immigrants’ ability to obtain work permits and Social Security Numbers.
“What [Obama] is doing is he is putting these 4 million people — who on average have…

Rush Limbaugh On Obama’s Grand Jury Remarks: Designed To “Feed The Rage”…
Rush always does a better job than anyone in discussing politics. I do disagree with him on other subjects on occasions, but on politics never!
Yes, let’s fix this system that allowed this to happen! (The real problem in the Black community)
I have to agree with this assessment 100% as I have lived long enough to actually see it happen.
As you are probably well aware by now, the grand jury decided not to indict Officer Darren Wilson for the shooting of Michael Brown. After all of the evidence was presented, a jury made up of citizens of mixed races did not find any cause to indict the officer despite massive pressure from the race baiters, mainstream media, Ferguson mob, countless social media experts, and many ill-intentioned politicians. Justice was served – pure, unbiased justice.
They saw everything that the public was not able to see, and they made the educated decision. That is what we want in America. We want a justice system that is unbiased. We don’t want a lynch mob deciding who is and isn’t guilty.
I am not going to get into the details because that is not what this is about. I am not willing to argue a point that is already settled.
Instead, I…
