Money for babies! Thanks Hillary!
So you all HAVE to read this article. So Hillary Clinton thinks that every baby should have a $5,000 savings bond for college or a new home. Hmm, on the surface that sounds quite appealing, especially because babies are so cute, which Hillary Clinton is not. Who wouldn't want a baby to have 5 g's? Really on the surface that is a concept that appeals to our better nature of helping out those who are in need, and that is a good thing. BUT, let's get down to the nitty gritty of it all.
According to the article, approximately 4 million babies are born in the USA every year. So let's do some simple arithmetic. 4 million x 5,000=a whole lot...how much? 20,000,000,000! 20 billion!!! Holy smokes, isn't that the GDP of Guam or something? Maybe it was the GDP of Micronesia...I can't remember. Anyway, where is all that money going to come from? I'll give you 301,139,947 guesses and if any of those guesses included any US citizens, then you are correct! This is another ploy to tax the snot out of the american taxpayer. How could it possibly work? I HATE taxes, but I pay them not because its my patriotic duty to, I pay taxes because I am a law-abiding citizen. If there is a lawful way to avoid paying taxes, then I will take it.
The other problem with this proposed idea is that it will create another level of entitlement in the US. People need to get it through their skulls that they are NOT entitled to anything just by being a US citizen! That is a ridiculous notion. Just because you are a baby you don't deserve 5 grand. Sure it would be nice, but isn't that the responsibility of the parents and not the government? I would say it is.

A sweet video
So a friend of mine pointed out this video to me on Youtube. I guess the newest thing now is stop motion video. Can't say that I know a ton about it, but they apparently take pictures of different parts of a motion and put them together to create that motion frame by frame. Anyway, thought everyone would like to see this!

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
So I ran across this article from Drudgereport.com and really couldn't believe what I read. Basically, this po-dunk town in Pennsylvania made a law saying that if you hired an illegal immigrant or rented a property to them, you would be fined. Sounds logical enough to me, you are aiding someone who is committing a crime by merely being here in the United States. I always though aiding a fugitive was against the law, but what do I know? Anyway, a federal judge has ruled that the City can't enforce that ordinance because it violates federal law. So, its ok to aid a fugitive? So next time a bank robber asks you for a ride after robbing a bank you can say yes? Give me a break, this judge is ridiculous. There is no reason to not have a law like this town tried to implement, it would slow the influx of illegal immigrants and provide penalties who are keeping them here by providing jobs for them. Don't get me wrong...I love the hispanic people and lived for two years in South America and absolutely love their culture. I just want people to come in through the front door and not sneak in through the back. Here's the article.
