Liddy (AIG CEO) berated by Senate sub-committee over bonuses.

Barney "Rubble" Frank and his band of stooges attacked a man who took the helm of AIG AFTER the federal money started rolling into the coffers of AIG. What's important to note here, is that Liddy's employment contract pays him and annual salary of $1. Yes, it's true that $165 million in bonuses were paid out on March 15th and that the taxpayers footed the bill. A contract is a contract and the government should have looked deeper and put rules into effect PRIOR TO forking over nearly $200 billion to AIG.

Liddy has asked those who received bonuses in excess of $500 thousand to turn 50% back to the company. Liddy said the some have returned 100% of their bonuses. It is my opinion; know how important the safety of my family is to me, that this reflects the actions of people who are afraid for their safety. Liddy read aloud to the committee just one of the death threats the company has received. This is ludicrous! AIG has honored its legal obligations to its employees. It is our government who has dropped the ball here. I don't support how AIG has handled its business and fiscal responsibilities but, I absolutely do not condone threat to its employees.

Now, Frank will force AIG, by way of subpoena, to supply a list of employees who received bonuses. Will these names be kept confidential as requested by Liddy? I, for one, hope so. There are some real nut jobs out there who act on emotion and not common sense.

How much is all this financial investigation costing us, the taxpayer?

Well the witch hunt is on! Congress is spending more time looking for scapegoats for the nation's financial situation than focusing on the real problem, themselves and the Executive Branch.

Just how much are all of these sub-committee hearings costing the American taxpayer? I can tell you, I don't know but, I would love to find out. I'm sure the numbers would be staggering. Does $165 cover the cost? But, if it costs $165 million to recover $165 million, where are the gains to the taxpayer? And, if it costs $165 million to attempt to recover the $165 million in AIG bonuses and Congress fails in its endeavors? Now it has cost the taxpayers $330 million. Our government just doesn't get it. We know who screwed up here. We know that these bailouts never should have happened. We know that we have no real representation in Washington. We know that our elected officials are only looking out for themselves and ignore the wishes of those who put them in office.

Now, I hope they know that they have put their political careers in jeopardy with their obvious contempt for the wishes of their constituents. Hey! Washington! Wake up and smell the coffee! We won't stand for this anymore!

Is Illegal Immigration starting to makes it way into the news again, finally?

Pelosi supports illegal immigration? Yup, she said it herself. What???? Pelosi holds the third most powerful seat in our government and doesn't give a hoot about the Constitution and laws she's sworn an oath to protect. Pelosi has been into the Kool-aid again. This is just another area where our government has let us down. I did it legally, so should everyone else. We don't need immigration reform, we need immigration enforcement.

The Atlanta, GA district office has directed its field offices to drastically reduce immigration enforcement. This actually started a few years ago. And why, you might ask? The district director is Hispanic. Conflict of interest? I would say so. It shouldn't be if he was doing the job he was sworn to do but, this is not the case.

Illegal immigrants cost us, the taxpaying citizens, hundreds of billions of dollars each and every year. I believe that this number is reaching $300 billion annually. This money is spent on healthcare, courts, prisons and supply Spanish customer service in government agencies, just to name a few. I don't want to press "1" for English! Because, I know that this is an extra expense to the taxpayer. English is the language spoken in this country, the official language.

If you come to this country, legally, you need to learn the language and assimilate into the community. If you come to this country illegally, there is only one action that is acceptable, deportation!

Our government needs to step up to the plate and take responsibility. Do your jobs, the jobs you were elected to do. We will hold you accountable even when your Washington cronies won't. If you have dropped the ball, we will drop you. You are a disgrace to the legacy of our Founding Fathers by tearing down what they put in place to make this the great country on earth.

The time is near, your future looks dim.
