Muammar Gaddafi's Death Will Still Not Save America

It is amazing to me how much press coverage this event is getting.  Muammar Gaddafi was apparently  killed by NATO and US backed rebels, ( although, most news reports I watched said they didn't know exactly who these rebels were) and apparently Americans are supposed to take another day off of work (those that are actually employed) and crack open a Bud in celebration.


Well, it is simply not happening.  Even though Obama and his misfits are walking around with their chests stuck out in victory, nobody is applauding.  The reason?  Apparently the Misery Index in the United States is at its highest levels since Jimmy Carter was at the end of his tenure as President in June of 1980.  At that time, the US Misery Index was 21.98 and it is currently at 12.97 and growing daily.  I guess it is kinda - sorta hard to get real excited when you don't have a clue how you are going to feed your family or your job is being placed on the chopping block.

The Cost of Killing a Despot and Let's Buy Our Friends!

One thing we would love to know is how much of the tax payers money did it take to kill Muammar?  I haven't heard the figures yet, but I know that in the case of Osama Bin Laden, it cost the US Tax payers nearly 1.28 trillion!  Just yesterday, Hillary Clinton offered an aid package to Libya (Yeah, the same country we are half-way at war with...)  worth cash and prizes of 11 million dollars.  However, that is only a small part of the story. Since last February, we have given Libya $135 million dollars in aid.  Bear in mind, we have no clue what type of people are going to take power once the political smoke clears in that country.


Veterans and Postal Workers Can Take a Hike

But hey, that's all good, because we are going to be saved by the Republican Party.  Currently, the Republicans in Congress want to make sure that we make up for all of this trite spending and handing out of money all over the world by Hillary and her ilk, by taking jobs away from postal workers and cutting Veteran's benefits.  That's right America, let's take away from our own and hand it out to the rest of the world.  What the heck, $ 135 million to Libya, $100 million to Haiti, $2 billion to Pakistan, and there's always more to go around! (Unless you are a US postal worker or Veteran.)  Currently, the Republican led Congress, is masterminding a complete restructuring of the US Postal system in an effort to find more money to hand out to the rest of the world.  According to reports, a possible 122,000 postal workers may lose their jobs, many of them veterans that have served their country in foreign wars.  Also, they want to "move" veterans retirements over to 401 (K) plans that military retirees won't be able to draw on until the age of 57.

But hey, why should you worry?  We've finally killed Muammar Gaddafi, so crack open a Bud and celebrate. Whassssupp??
