While I give the president kudos for calling out the Republicans on passing the tax cuts for small businesses I think he is way behind the curve in being interventionist in the economy. The titans of capitalism have failed America and it is now time that we use Keynesian economic principles to stabilize this economy. While most have been indoctrinated into believing that big government is bad the reality is big corporations is what is bad as their is no accountability to the masses.

Our indoctrination is simply exacerbated by those who want to promote small government being so bad at it. I’ve written a  book that I sure hope many read to put some perspective on the level of indoctrination and the results thereof. Please check it out here.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama exhorted Congress on Monday to make passing a long-languishing small business aid package its first order of business when it returns next month from its summer break.

"I ask Senate Republicans to drop the blockade," Obama said in the Rose Garden after meeting with his economic advisers.

Acknowledging that the economy still remains extremely fragile, the president said he’d also have other specific ideas in the days ahead.

He mentioned extending Bush tax cuts due to expire this year for households making under $250,000 a year, upping the nation’s investment in clean energy, rebuilding more roads and highways and tax cuts designed to keep jobs in the U.S.

"My economic team is hard at work identifying additional measures that could make a difference in both promoting growth and hiring in the short term and increasing our economy’s competitiveness in the long term," he said.

In a week likely to be dominated by foreign policy, Obama is trying to show he’s still minding the economy after his 10-day vacation in Martha’s Vineyard.

A string of weak economic reports in recent weeks has fed fears that the economy would fall back into recession, only slightly offset by Monday’s government report that consumer spending had increased in July after four down months.

"Every single day, I’m pushing this economy forward, repairing the damage that’s been done to the middle class over the past decade and promoting the growth we need to get out people back to work," Obama said in his statement.

Obama said action on the package of small business tax cuts and credit incentives is "one thing we know that we should do" as soon as possible. Republicans have been blocking the bill, calling it misguided.

However, Obama said it was being "held up by a partisan minority that won’t even let it get to a vote."

Nothing is more important to Republican politicians these days than jobs and the deficit—at least according to Republican politicians. As House Minority Leader John Boehner put it in a "major economic address" on Tuesday, President Obama is "doing everything possible to prevent jobs from being created" while refusing to do anything at all "about bringing down the deficits that threaten our economy." Elect Republicans in November, Boehner assured his audience, and we will put an end to this insanity.

There’s only one problem with Boehner’s message: so far, the things that Republicans have said they want to do won’t actually boost employment or reduce deficits. In fact, much the opposite. By combing through a variety of studies and projections from nonpartisan economic sources, we here at Gaggle headquarters have found that if Republicans were in charge from January 2009 onward—and if they were now given carte blanche to enact the proposals they want to—the projected 2010–2020 deficits would be larger than they are under Obama, and fewer people would probably be employed. 

The math is pretty straightforward. Let’s start with the deficit. According to the Congressional Budget Office, Obama’s stimulus plan is projected to increase budget deficits over the next decade by $814 billion. That’s a big number. But Republicans opposed the legislation refused to provide an alternative, and now insist that it’s been a total failure. So let’s be generous and subtract it from their side of the equation. The Obama deficit: $814 billion. The GOP deficit: $0.

Next up is health-care reform. Obama passed it; Republicans want to repeal it "lock, stock, and barrel." The reason, as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell explained in July, is that "we all know that it’s going to increase the deficit." Unfortunately for the GOP, though, nonpartisan experts tend to disagree. Just this Tuesday, for example, the CBO released a letter saying that Obama’s health-care-reform legislation would "reduce the projected budget deficit by $30 billion over the next 10 years,” while repealing the law would generate "an increase in deficits … of $455 billion … over that [same] period." Factor those figures into the equation and the Obama deficit falls to $784 billion. The GOP deficit, meanwhile, rises to $455 billion. Getting warmer.

The final piece of the puzzle is the Bush tax cuts. Obama wants to extend them for the 95 percent of taxpayers making less than $250,000 a year; Republicans want to extend them for everybody. How will these extensions affect the deficit? Glad you asked. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, "the Democratic proposal would add about $3 trillion to the deficit during the next decade, while the GOP plan would cost $3.7 trillion." That brings the total Obama deficit to $3.784 trillion over 10 years, and its GOP counterpart to—drumroll, please—$4.155 trillion.

I am not sure how effective golf is for ones health. I last played golf about 5 months ago with a friend before it got too hot. It was muggy and sweated as if I cycled for 50 miles. You cannot feel good when you lose that much fluid without burning any substantial number of calories. When I checked my heart monitor, the maximum beats per minute never exceeded 90. In effect all that walking with no perceptive cardiovascular workout.

Maybe I should visit http://www.myrtlebeachgolf.net and review their golf course offerings. Their site seem to have information on many Myrtle Beach golf courses. There are videos to walk you through and detail description of rhe property. I have not seen a site that is so complete for its particular competency.

One for the ages. It is amazing how Jon Stewart’s satire makes supposedly intelligent people look ignorant and petty. It is simple the only reason someone would have a problem with a Mosque near Ground 0 is if they equate the Muslim religion with being implicitly terrorist. The GOP with their platform of hate did a great job in mis-educating most Americans on this issue.

Rachel Maddow will receive an award named after Walter Cronkite.

The Interfaith Alliance announced Monday that it would award its 2010 Walter Cronkite Faith & Freedom award to the MSNBC anchor in honor of her work covering religion and politics. Maddow will receive the award alongside Chautaqua Institution Department of Religion Director Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell.

The award, which will be presented at a gala dinner in New York in October, "recognizes individuals who courageously promote democratic values, defend religious freedom and reinvigorate informed civic participation," according to the announcement. Cronkite served as Honorary Chairman of the Interfaith Alliance until his death last year.

"Walter Cronkite once told me that no less than the future of our nation was at stake in the work of Interfaith Alliance, and I can think of no two people who contribute more to advancing our mission than Rachel Maddow and Joan Brown Campbell," said Interfaith Alliance President Rev. Dr. C. Welton Gaddy. "Rachel’s passionate coverage of the intersection of religion and politics exhibits a strong personal intellect coupled with constitutional sensitivity to the proper boundaries between religion and government."

Previous media recipients of the award include Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, Larry King, and Bill and Judith Moyers.

Homeopathic remedies are in vogue. Given the state of our medical system previous to the Healthcare Reform Bill, this was the best option to many who are really unable to get healthcare economically. They make too much to get subsidized services but make too little to afford the full prices most doctors charge.

As we get older our immune system gets slightly spent. Moreover our digestive juices seem to get all wacked. Oregano Oil may be a solution to some these digestive problems that afflict us. No chemicals that we cannot pronounce or that we not be sure of should make it into our bodies unless nothing else work.
