Through the leadership of Snyder, more than 250,000 Child I.D. kits were distributed to kindergarten and first grade students throughout the state of Kansas. Coach Snyder raised the funds to make the distribution of the I.D. kits possible as well as arranging press conferences and helping the FBI get connected to schools for the distribution.
In our book 2010: Take Back America – A Battle Plan, we write:
“The prospect we now face is not the intermittent up-and-down fluctuations of unemployment we have had since the Great Depression. Thanks to Obama’s policies, we’re confronting the possibility of an unemployment rate that never comes down, just as they have in Europe. If we stay on Obama’s course, lower joblessness in the United States will be a thing of the past.”
The recent rise in unemployment back up to 9.6% and the loss of 54,000 jobs in August, suggests that our prediction is – dismally – coming true.
The Obama stimulus plan has finally kicked in: The higher spending he brought to our nation and the debt levels that are accompanying it are the result.
Why is unemployment remaining so high? Because the totality of Obama’s policies are dragging us into a depression.
• The prospect of dramatically higher taxes next year is freezing consumer spending, particularly in the upper income ranges which spend a third of America’s consumption.
• The huge changes that are looming in medical care brought about by Obama’s health care legislation are freezing new employment and expansion in the medical sector which accounts for 16% of GDP.
• The financial reform legislation has so raised the prospect of a federal takeover of any bank that makes “imprudent” loans that financial institutions are afraid to lend, freezing new job creation.
• The looming possibility of cap-and-tax legislation in the name of halting climate change is freezing any expansion in the manufacturing and energy sectors since these policies will force jobs to move overseas to locations that do not impose such a tax (e.g. India and China).
• The massive expansion in the deficit and in the resulting debt has so eroded confidence in our nation’s future that Americans are now saving 6% of their income, up from 1% in the past, sapping consumer spending.
• The threat of new rules for union elections that will spread private sector unionization is freezing business expansion plans.
Obama’s rush to spend, regulate, re-engineer, redistribute, and tax have stopped any recovery and are sending us back into recession.
In her wonderful book The Forgotten Man, Amity Shlaes notes how FDR’s policies in the late 1930s did the same thing. She notes how the imposition of the Social Security tax in 1937 (benefits did not start until 1941) and the rapid wage hikes that accompanied the passage of the Wagner Act (steel worker wages rose 40% in 1937) sent a recovering nation back into a new depression that lasted until the war started in 1939.
In his haste to re-make America and to bring us the “fundamental change” he promised as he campaigned for president in 2008, Obama has torpedoed the recovery and sent us back into a double dip recession.
The answer is to cut spending back to pre-Obama levels, reduce taxes and eliminate the threat of tax increases, zero fund the changes Obama has legislated in health care (and repeal them in 2013), eliminate the threat of cap-and-tax, and lay the basis for solid economic growth.
We have left the recession that started in 2007 and entered a new recession caused by Obama’s policies.
You know, I am actually starting to come around to the possibility that we won't suck this year.
Maybe it's the Lexipro starting to kick in.
Or maybe this program has been kicked and screwed long enough, that
finally it will be time to catch a 5th down type of break. Maybe this
year when Goodman hits the upright, it will bounce through for three
points. Maybe this year will have a Bronco's circa 1999-2000
experience with injuries...because the last three years have been the
complete antithesis of lucky when it has come to injuries. Maybe in
CU's last year in the Big Twelve, we will be the team that benefits
from slop-ass broken play hail mary passes, rather than getting beat
by them. Maybe Nebraska will miss a chip shot field goal and we will
win in OT, rather than the other way around. Maybe an attractive
co-ed will go to a recruiting party and actually have nice things to
say about her school to a recruit, convincing him with positives,
rather than getting drunk and going down on one guy while another guy
does her from behind, then suddenly deciding that she could use this
to become famous and wealthy.
21 out of 22 recruits have qualified, and the 22nd is still a
possibility. Even the juco guys have made it this year. Maybe
Simmons will get his waiver, because maybe the people who decide such
things will grow some humanity, and actually hear his story. Maybe he
will prosper under a position coach not named Dan.
Maybe we can win despite the mental midget hawk. Maybe there are
enough people associated with the program....players, asst. coaches,
fans....who are sick and f-ing tired of being a laughing stock in
college football, that they rise up and give it everything they have
for a season. There is finally some decent Junior and Senior
leadership on the team...finally some units who have played together
for more than a couple of games....and finally some consistent speed,
size and athleticism on both sides of the ball.
Maybe this nightmare is FINALLY going to end, and end in a very big way.
Or....maybe the Lexipro is starting to kick in....
On average, a person produces about half a liter of fart gas per day, distributed over an average of about fourteen daily farts.I'm more of a 20-25 kinda guy.
According to Bohn, Kruger's people have inquired already. Would be
a homerun.
Kruger is a bit on the "fringe", would he stay longer than Bz? Can
he do well with the academic side? He has a KSU/UNLV background, I
think that's dicey, at best.
