Obama Has Won, Now What-He has no clear cut plans for Anything

2008-06-10T22:11:00.002-05:00

Apparently, even my sending him some copies of a few of my bogs here, directly to his Chicago headquarters did no good. I guess the will as he said 2 days ago, try to negotiate everything with the Insurance companies and the drug companies; and work something outduring his first term. Well isn't that something to look forward too, something may be worked out during his first term, to maybe, well we have hope and a chace to maybe work something out with them, wishful thinking to be sure. He has also backed off his statement of getting rid of the lobbiests in Washington, D.C.; now it is cutting the amount, which is over 37,000 of them, cutting that number down some; I guess to maybe only 35,000. This way our Congressmen/woman and Senators will only be outnumbered by 7 to one. Of course how does one argue with the envelopes under the dinner table at those fancy restaurants, which is legally allowed, the meal that is, not those envelopes stuffed with money. What is to be done with all those lobbiests spending hundreds of billions of dollars to get them to vote the way they want, and not to vote in the Best Interests of this Country, and in the Best Interests of the Majority of the American Peoplel the poor working class? Of course all the possible answers to this and so many other problems have been posted here, of course since No One Really Cares, he has ignored these too; which is odd, since his ideas as to how to achieve things are nothing more than ideas, not one plan among them; that will work. Well we at least have a Hope for a Chance for Change, maybe. I am beginnig to wonder if even Obama has not already been caught up in Washington politics, and will only join the "club", and continue with things as they have always been, government for the rich, by the rich.? Obama also seems to bebacking away some from his statement of getting all the Troops out of Iraq, and I would guess Afghanistan too ( no need for them to be there really either), within 16 to 18 mos., after he takes the Oath. Well we shall hear more as the weeks go by with meetings between him and John McCain, as they both present their approach to solving America's Problems. Maybe we will hear something that actually seems to be a Plan, regarding something... So far all I have heard are soundbits, and rhetoric; in other words, the same old thing. How do these alleged leaders expect us to follow them, when they don't have any Real Plans, or Real Solutions, we are only following a dream, and we all knows what happens most of the time with that....it just fades away to nothing at all. So let's see if my predictions for the coming year will come true: 1-no National Health Care Plan of any kind will be implemented, 2-nothing good, and useful, will be done about the crisis of the cost of Fuel in this country. #- The War in Iraq will not end, most of the troops will not be home for Christmas of 2009, and most likely things will get a lot worse in the Middle East, with no solutions to any of it, coming from Washington, D.C.. 4-The Recession will not be over by the end of 2009, there will still be lots of issues holding us back from a full recovery. 5- Nothing of any substance will be done to get our Infrastructure rebuilt, we will be too busy working off the deficit, that the Bush administration left behind, probably around 12 Trillion dollars, by the time he is gone. 6- Nothing will be done to bring Bush, Cheney, Rowe to justice for the crimes they commited against the American People, including total violations of the Constitution of the United States; as well the as the Illeagal War, the kickbacks from Haliburton to them, the enormouse profits that they and many on Capital hill made from the escalating Oil prices. 7- NO real chages will take place in Washington, D.C.; it will be business as usual, no meaningful legislation will be enacted, that makes our lives any better here, and the lobbiests will still be in Control there. I know what are the odds, making 7 predictions like this, that any of them will come true? Well I would be willing to bet at least 6 out of 7 if not all 7 will be True, by the end of the year 2009. Most likely fuul prices will continue to rise, and be well about $5 a gallon for reg. gas, higher still for diesel, further crippling this country, and dragging the economy down... and us remaining slaves to those that have all that oil we will still need, because we really did nothing to cut our dependence down....as we could have (see blog here re: cutting gas and lowering polution in our major cites). Well I hope this has not dragged your day down, I know you were all filled with that HOPE, and the Chance for Real Change, but even with Obama, it is not going to happen, unless he really opens his eyes, and really is intent on Real Change in Washington, D.D.; and is ready to be really tough, and stand tall against all those, that are only interested in making as much money as they possibly can,from the poor working class, and from the government too. There are solutions to our problems, and I have outlined many here; it seems that no one in Washington,D.C. really wants to make anything better, especially for the Majority of US; and that US, also stands for United States, which is made up of more of US, than any other group, the other 85%, who do not get what we were promised ever........ Well that is about it for today, I hope I am totally wrong about all of this, and that finally we have a President who really is a Strong Leader, who will really show Washington, how it can be done.. Have a great week, and I hope the summer gets better for all of us... God Bless America, and God Bless all you working people, who are the ones who Really make this country great and keep it going. John Roberts a.k.a. The Lone Wolf

Note: There is only one way to raise the money we need, to pay off the tremendous debt. George W. Bush has left us, and rebuild the Crumbling Infrastructure, and get all the programs we need to get this Country back on it's feel as well as the majority of it's people. That is a Flat Tax System, where, the majority get a big tax break, and the wealthy finally pay their Fair Share....adding 100's of Billions of dollars to help solve the problems facing this once great country... There is not other way to do it....We need over 27 to 30 Trillion dollars in the next four years. So let's get it together people, or life as we know it, will not exist by 2025 on this planet. Thank you all, may God Bless America, and all of us.... John Roberts a.k.a. the Lone Wolf

The Next Presidents Primary Actions the First 30 Days in Office

2008-05-13T13:26:00.002-05:00

By JohnnyAngel - May 4th, 2008 at 12:52 pm EDT ALL RIGHT, THE CORRECT ANSWER TO WHAT ONE WOULD HAVE DONE ABOUT THE GAS CRISIS IS: the price of all vehicle fuels should have been frozen, at the $3.00 limit, in the interest of National Security, and National Economy. this would have saved billions for all drivers over the course of a year, and probably kept the prices down on most other items, mainly food. Well too bad, Obama did not think of that one, would have won him Indiana too. Ok Mr. President, or Mrs. President, though I ma sure that Barack can still win, if he will just start telling the American public, he really has Plans to solve America's Problems, which are outlined here in my blogs. Alright Mr. President, here are the things you need to do, in yoru first 30 days as President: 1)-Set up a Middle Eastern bloc of Leaders from all the countries in the region, from Iran, all the way to the other side in Afghanistan, including Pakistan and India. Once this is set up, then it is time to lay out an outline to end the Iraq War, and to make sure that it does not escalate into an all out Middle East war, which will in turn become a total Islamic war, which will become WW 3. We need to lay out a plan (outlined in my blog, how to end the war in Iraq), being sure to make it clear that next time, we are attacked in anyway, the host country will receive immediate retaliation, and it won't be with troops or on the ground. We will pick out a target, probably a big city, and send bombers over there, to wipe it off the map. We also need to keep in mind Teddi Roosevelts statement in mine, he said, "speak softly and carry a big stick"; well our Big Stick is our arsenal of ICBM's, and be sure to show them pics and the capabilities, so so they know from now on, we will not be playing tit for tat. Then set the stage so that all the countries in the region can set down and settle all the differences, and problems, and find solutions, because Iraq affects all of them, even more than it does us. It is imperative they work out the Palestinian/ Isreali problem, as well as others, to bring peace and stability to the entire Middle East. Then we cna set the stage within 3 mos, to start bringing our troops home,, before the end of 2009. We need to implement the National Health Care Program as outlined in my blog here, to give peace of mine to all Americans regarding their Health Care, which will have an abundance of benefits for all. We need to put into place the Fairest Income Tax System possible, the Flat Tax System, as outlined in my blog here. We need to get the reports in to find the safest construction of Nuclear Plants and get at least 5 Plants online, within a 5 yr. period. (ok regarding the waste, store it under the plants like the French do, until such time that we have all the energy out of the material in all ways; then simply load it on a Titan or larger rocket, and shoot it out into space, past our solar system. We need to eliminate the over 37,000 Lobbiests in Washington,D.C.; in order to make real changes in our government, and give the government back to the People , that is the other 85%, who really make it the country it is, but get the least back from it. the only way to do this quickly is after the State of the Union Address, where the President outlines all his plans, and tells the congress, this is what the Majority of the People want, give them 30 days to pass the legislation, vote on it, and make it law; then report back to the President. He then will address the Country on television, and if the laws, proposals, and plans he has laid down do not pass, start naming names, of the Congressmen/woman, and Senators who voted against them. The only reason they would knowing this is what their people want, is because the Lobbiests have gotten to them and bought them off ( of course this is Illegal, but how to prove it?) Well After naming names, and posting them on a special internet webpage, complete with full addresses of their Washing office, their homes, as well as every phone # they can be contacted by, I am sure within the next 30 days, almost all of those No votes will become Yes votes; once they realize they cannot hide anymore, and take the bribes from the lobbiests. Do this two or three times, and then a bill can be submitted to remove, banish, and forbid all lobbiests from setting foot on any property that is Govertment owned, for the purpose of lobbying, and make sure there are stiff penalties for violators. Then we will have Washington back in the hands of the "people". Implement the Plan to have every Major city in America with a population of One Million to begin to use Electric power cars within a 50 mile radius of all these major cities. Give a rebate to the consumer to make this transition easier, similar to the one they have in Texas, which gives at least $3000 to them, to trade in their 10 yr. old car for a new one, this would cover the cost of the down payment on that new electric car. The technology already exists, General Motors already built one in 1997, but scraped it, when pressure from the Oil Companies was applied (read my blog here on that topic); and this is a quick fix for cutting both gas comsumption and well as pollution in our cities by at least 50%. We can continue the program in smaller cities as we go along, it would give our Auto companies something new and different to produce, and they would be the ones to benefit greatly from this too. Of course this will promote competition once GM starts production of their electric car, and batteries do exist, not lithium, but more conventional batteries that can power the car from 600 to 800 miles between charges. In addition if they use Carbon Fiber construction for the frame and body, the car will be at least 4 times lighter than metal, and stronger than steel is too. This construction will add even more milage to the electric cars. It has been proven that it takes a lot less energy at least 4 times less to produce the power to recharge these cars, then using an internal combustion engine. Now the benefits of just doing the following: Implement the National Health Care Program, the Flat Tax System, and The government endorsed Electric Car Program, would put Billions of dollars back into the hands of the average working population, stimulating the economy greatly. It would also give the goverment the funds to start the rebuilding of the Infrastucture in this Country which is falling apart beneath us. The rich people will yell and scream, but they foget who makes them rich, the working man, he is the one who buys their products, goes to the movies, goes to the games, and supports all the things that make them that money; if they don't have to spend, what happens? Just look at what is happening now, in 2008 with this recession. I mentioned energy earlier, in regards to this, all Ethanol farming should be stopped immediately, it is stealing corn that we need for feed for livestock as well as food for our people. It has been shown that vast areas around the world have been clear cut, cutting down even rain forests to grow corn for Ethanol, making th pollution problem even worse. It takes more energy to make the ethanol than it is saving, and cars running on Ethanol, get worse milage than cars just running on gas alone. So let's kill this idea, which has been wasting resouces for over 15 yrs, and move on to things that actually work. We also need to start bringing back industry to this country, why were we able to do it all for over 190 yrs, then suddenly in the late 70's and early 80's we allegedly could not do it anymore, the answer is simple Corporate Greed. We need to make sure no more jobs leave this country too, that in all cases, a government panel will investigate that company, and make whatever recommendations needed to keep that company going, which in most cases will simply mean--eliminating the Cream at the top, too much goes to the top and not enough at the bottom and middle which is where the support for that company comes from to keep it strong. Read my blog, We Did It Before We Can Do It Again. I(t is important to finally give this Government and the Country back to the People that actually built it on the sweat of their backs, giving all they had, including in many cases their lives to build this country. We should not waste all that effort, by giving it to the Rich to rape and pillage it, and the American People who work so hard trying to live their meager lives here. They are the backbone of this country, take them away, and you have nothing. Give them the respect, and the benefits they are entitled too, to try and live a life more rewarding, and filled with that happiness they pursue. Well that is it for now my fellow Americans, signing off till next time. John M. Robers a.k.a. The Lone Wolf; alone in the darkness of the world. please excuse any typos.

A Potpourri of Thoughts, with Solutions

2008-05-13T13:14:00.000-05:00

By JohnnyAngel - Apr 20th, 2008 at 4:04 pm EDT First off, let's be sure to end the problem with Social Security running out way too soon. The simplest solution to this is to do away with the $97,000 Cap on the deductions being taken out for Social Security, remove the cap, and keeep taking it out up to at least a Million dollars. This will ensure there is plenty of money in the Social Security Fund (barrring anyone stealing it, like George W. Bush), and will not hurt the cast majority of workers; but will sure help them. Next item on the list, I hope that Sen. Obama has been reading my list here, especially regarding how to have a Real National Health Care System for all, that will cover all, totally. The next thing is to make sure that the Flat Tax system is passed and put into place,explained here in my blog also. These Two things will do so much for the working class, the other 85% of the population, that has been so ignored for over 50 yrs. It will ease their minds, remove any medical expense burden, put extra money in their pockets, and provide enough money to bring the huge deficit of at least Ten Trillion dollars back into the black within the first 4 yrs of the new administration, instead of at least 20 yrs. This will actually reduce the debt even faster, because of all the interest that will be saved too. In addtion the infrastructure will need over 17 Trillion dollars to get it back into shape, and this will probalbly go up to 20 Trillion since it will take at least 5 yrs to do. In addition, so many people can be put to work within this program,helping to rebuild the infratructure. they don't all have to be experts in construction, many will be needed to do simple labor, and many can be trained to operate heavy equiptment, that will be needed, all at reasonable expense, say $10 to $25 per hour, instead of paying the inflated prices of the Construction companies only. These will be hired by the goverment, and paid by the goverment, not the construction companies, and many will be needed, ending any probelm with unemployment. Now with jobs, Health Care and lower taxes for the working classes, they will have a much more rewarding life, and we will get through this recession, and on the road to full economic recovery. Instead of wasting Trillions of dollars on a needless War, as Bush did, we can really do some good with the goverment money. If the Flat Tax is implented the first year as explained by me, there will be plenty of money to end the debt, and rebuild the infrastructure, which by the way benefits everyone, poor, middle class as well as the rich. Now regarding the Mortgage crisis; the Mortgage companies and Banks that issued these mortgages knew it was totally unlawful, and shady practice, as well as in most cases fraudelent. So the solution is not for the government to throw more money into the ring, to the tune or 30 to 50 Billion, No. It is for the Government to step in and tell them all this is the way it will be: You people created this problem, so all you mortgage companies and banks who wrote these absurd mortgages will renegoiate all of them back to a miore reasonable rate, for many this will be 7 to 9%^ for some with really good credit still, this will be 6 to 7%. They will create a total listing of all houses they have listed for foreclosure or in danger of foreclosure, like a multiple listing service, so that people who are just totally out of their league house and mortgage wise, can possible find a home, within a short distance of their current home, that they can move into, with a mortgage and payment they can handle quite easily. Those that can afford the homes they are in, with a more reasonable monthly payment will remain, they will be given every opportunity to stay in their homes, with the mortgage company, rewriting their mortgage contracts at the new rate, an if necessary, even go to a 35 yr. repayment structure if really needed, for those young enough, say in late 20's or early 30's, so they will still have plenty of time to pay their mortgage off, before they retire. The mortgage companies and banks will be given three months to get these mortgages rewritten, and forget about any foreclosurs; which do nobody any good. With foreclosures everyone loses, the people, the mortgage companies the banks. It makes much more sense to fix the problem then make it worse. If any Mortgage Lenders, who have been unscrupulous in making these loans, say they do not want to do what they should,then the Government, simply tells them about the big fines, penalties and prison sentences awating them, if they do not cooperate. Many of these mortgages have changed hands already, well these companies have to file income tax, so they can be traced that way, and they can be made to pay fines and penalties. On Lieu of this, they too, can do all they can to facilitate and expedite these new mortgages so that this crisis will be ended, within the first 6 months of the new administration, and with little goverment expense. The Health Care Crisis needs to be addressed with a Real Solution not an attempt, not a bandid. There are approximately 100 Million Americans, that either have no Health Care Insurance, or have so litte, they are way underinsured. This will get even worse over the next year, and will be a Crisis by the time the new administration takes office. I implore you to forget this nonsense about trying ot implement a Universal Health Care Plan. Trying to work things out with the Drug Companies and the Insurance Comopanies will only end in Failure, because they will not bend; and it will cost way too much to try and insure all Americans this way. this thinking also does not guarantee, they will continue to have coverage, no matter what, whether rates go up, they are cancelled, lose their job or whatever. With my National Health Care Plan, all Americans who want to join and be coveree Completely, with no co-pays, no deductibles, no drug costs, and no bills at the end of that hospital stay, this is the plan that the Majority of Americans really want and need, and yes Deserve. To remove this worry from their minds will do so much to relieve stress levels for them, that many will actually be healthier, just from knowing, this is not a worry anymore. So Sen. Obama, I do hope that you will in fact inmplement most of these ideas I have outlined here. If you do not, Failure is the future for your administration, as well as the continued suffering of all those Americans you offered the Hope for a Chance for Real Change. You will have let them down, broken your promises, and jsut continued the usual Washington politics, that you said you wanted to end. For Real Change to occur, totally new and radical ideas have to be implemented, so that the change is for the good of the majority.. Let us work together, ad One People --AMERICANS, working to make a better life for all, working together to make this Country really Great again, one that is looked up to by the world, not down. This Country use to be the Leader of the Free World, how can it be, when it is not even a True Democracy, how can it be, when it's citizens are not covered by a National Health Care program, like even Mexico is? How can we be great when we have so much dissention and discourse among us all? How can we be great, when we have so many poor people going hungrey each day, or so poor they have no place to call home? How can we be great when our Veterans are not getting the care they need, due to a mis guided President suffering from a Napoleon Bonapart Complex, and dillusions? In addition the day after Bush leaves office, charges should be made agains him, and Chaney, for Treason, killing over 4000 Americans needlessly, bilking the federal goverment out of Trillions of dollars through Halliburton and all its subsidiaries, for lying to the Poeple of the United States for over 5 years, for failing to provide the security he promised us. For becoming a tyrant, a dictator much worse than Saddam Hussein ever was, for maiming over 100,000 Americans, for killing over 100,000 Iraqi people needlessly with his senseless, uneeded, and illegal War in Iraq. We should also end the war in Afghanistan, it is worthless too, is it our job for the American forces to protect the poppie fields, so that the drug trade out of the middle east can flourish? We need to arrest and detain George Bush, Dick Cheney, Care Rowe for Illegal activity against the American people as well as the American government. George Bush, sitll owes this country 13 months of military service, so make him serve it in Iraq or go to Federal prison, while he awaits his tiral on all the other charges. Well that is about it for now , I will say, I hope that we have a chance for real change, it sure would be nice; we deserve it.. This is John M. Roberts a.k.a. the Lone Wolf saying: God Bless America, and may all our hope, dreams and promises for a better tomorrow, come true.

Let's End All the Dissention & Misinformation, and MisUnderstanding

2008-05-13T13:06:00.001-05:00

Let's End All this Dissention -We Are All On the Bottom of The List
By JohnnyAngel - Apr 9th, 2008 at 8:58 pm EDT I wish someone would have the nerve to really say what really needs to be said. After Obam's Reverened came out with all those comments meant to cause dissention, anger, mistrust, and fuel the fires of discrinination, and misinformation. I had wished that Sen. Obama would really address the issues related to this in a way that would enlighten, educate, as well as maybe finally end this discrinination issue, mainly between the whites and blacks, but also between the latinos and blacks too. Allright let's end all this nonsense, that only a very minute portion of the white population seems to have in there minds, and I would say this is less than 1% of the total U.S. population. First of all, let's set some things straight, and look at some facts. I and most of the white population, had nothing to do with enslaving any blacks way back when. Most of the white population had nothing to do with owning and keeping slaves. This was the dominion of the Rich, who have enslaved a large part of the population over the years and this does include a lot of whites too. When many of the slaves were obtained in Africa, many were actually sold by their own Chieftians, to the white man. These were purchased by the Rich people, many who had plantations in the South, but also by Rich people in the North too. The vast majority of those who were workers, tradesmen, farmers etc. had nothing to do with slavery at all. The Rich who owned slaves are just like the Rich who today use and abuse the working man, be he black, white, hispanic, chinese or whatever, it is what they do, it is what they have always done. any thousands of white people were also enslaved, for them it was called Indentured Servitude. Many who came over on those sailing ships, similar to in most ways to the slave ships; could not afford thier passage to the New World. They were made to sign an aggreement, which amounted to legal slavery, for white men, this Indentured Servitude was the way they paid the rich men who paid their way, or assisted them in other ways, and these poor folks had no way to pay. They had no way to pay except with their lives, many would serve their "master" for many years, doing whatever he told them to do, whatever he made them do; to repay thier debt to the rich who financed them in one way or another. In addition, many Irish were hired to build bridges, the big tunnels under the rivers in N.Y.City area, and to work on the Railroads. Most of these jobs were extremely dangerous, and thousands died, the railroad workers who built the railroads were treated like slaves too, many were either Irish or Chinese working on the Intercontinental Railroad, that spanned the U.S. back in the 1800s. Now let's set another issue straight, the Rich white man, may have enslaved thousands of blacks way back when before the Civil War, but they did not kill too many, they were too valuable. Let's take a look though at the "brothers' of these black men, in Africa, where Millions have been Killed by their own kind, black men killing black men, by the milliions. IN addition there have been many more thousands of black men who have been enslaved by other black men in Africa, then ever were by any white men in the U.S.. I thought Obama would want to get the facts out there, and tell all those black people out there, it is fine to be pround of their heritage, but totally unnecessary for them to always be referring to themselves as African/Americans. This is absured, most Afrikans would be insulted by this. If you were not born in Africa, then you are NOT, I repeat you are Not, African/American; you are just an American. It would be absurd for every American, and technically that would be all Americans, to be calling themselves Irish/American, or Chinese/American, or Italian/American, or Korean?American, or Mexican?American every time they opened thier mouths. The only ones that have any Real Claim to using this terminology would be the American Indian, who is the original American. For all those blacks especially who think they should refrer to themselves as African/Americans, then go back to Africa, and see how well you do there. First of all you would not last a week in most African countries or states, and they would not want you anyway.. because you are Not a true Afrikan, and many refer to themselves as. You are first to be called or referred by the country you were born in, or if you became a citizen then you also are a real American. It is not the fault of the white man, or the spanish man, working beside you, or with you, or in your neighborhood, who is the one who you should be taking you anger, frustration, and exassperation out on, they did nothing to place you in the position in life that you find yourself in. It is the RICH man still that keeps you as well as most Americans down; they are the ones who are not paying a livable wage, they are the ones who are taking away your heathcare coverage, your pensions, and yes even your jobs, with outsourcing, and moving their operations to other countries; it is not the poor white man or latino. This has been going on for the longest time, and will continue, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and we are all in the same boat, no matter what color we are. It is the "Working Man", who has always struggled, always been underpaind and who has been taken advantage of by the Rich white men, and it will continue. It will continue that this goverment will be run by the rich, for the rich, and of the rich.. It is not for the People. by the People and of the People (the other 85%), of the population as it should be. Neither Obama, or Hillary have any real plans to change this either.. We need to come together with real Plans to really change this country, to give the Power back to the People, to make thier lives so much better, to give them a National Health Care Plan, to end the War in Iraq, and Afghanistan without causing an all out Middle Easter War, which will blossom into WW 3. To make the tax system that is much fairer for the majority of the population... We need real Leaders with real Plans, not just a Hoep for a Chance, to change things, or a Chance at Hope , for something better. It is time the American People really spoke uo, all One Voice , no matter what color, or ancestry, and make their chosen leaders live up to their promises, and hype. Stand up American, and be One for your country, make English the official language of the United States, live up to the Name - and be United as One People and make it happen. It is all possible, it is not just a dream, it can become reality with the right Leader, who really had guts, and real plans for our well being, our future, to make America great again. The first step is to totally Unite all the People of the United States, to work towards making life for the majority much more equitable, and enjoyable, and feel like really bing pround of being an American, a real American, where it is the first word you speak, when someone asks you what you are. We are all to blame for letting things get worse, in this country, by not insisting that our leaders live up to the promises they made to us to get elected. To really change things for the better for the majority of the U.S. population. I do hop that someone will read, understand and do something with this information, I have provided here; to really make a change . Do you really want to just blame someone or do you really want to see things change in yoru lives, in this country for the betterment of the majority of Americans. If you do, then it is time to contact those that are running for President, or congressman/woman, and let them know, what it is that you really want done, want changed... Do it America,stand up as One, and maybe, just maybe we really can be One in this Nation......"United We Stand, Divided We Fall". God Bless America. The Lone Wolf.. John M. Roberts please forgive any typos.

This will actually reduce the debt even faster, because of all the interest that will be saved too. In addition the infrastructure will need over 17 Trillion dollars to get it back into shape, and this will probably go up to 20 Trillion since it will take at least 5 yrs to do. In addition, so many people can be put to work within this program,helping to rebuild the infrastructure. they don't all have to be experts in construction, many will be needed to do simple labor, and many can be trained to operate heavy equipment, that will be needed, all at reasonable expense, say $10 to $25 per hour, instead of paying the inflated prices of the Construction companies only. These will be hired by the government, and paid by the government, not the construction companies, and many will be needed, ending any problem with unemployment. Now with jobs, Health Care and lower taxes for the working classes, they will have a much more rewarding life, and we will get through this recession, and on the road to full economic recovery. Instead of wasting Trillions of dollars on a needless War, as Bush did, we can really do some good with the government money. If the Flat Tax is implemented the first year as explained by me, there will be plenty of money to end the debt, and rebuild the infrastructure, which by the way benefits everyone, poor, middle class as well as the rich. Now regarding the Mortgage crisis; the Mortgage companies and Banks that issued these mortgages knew it was totally unlawful, and shady practice, as well as in most cases fraught with fraud. So the solution is not for the government to throw more money into the ring, to the tune or 30 to 50 Billion, No. It is for the Government to step in and tell them all this is the way it will be: You people created this problem, so all you mortgage companies and banks who wrote these absurd mortgages will renegotiate all of them back to a more reasonable rate, for many this will be 7 to 9%^ for some with really good credit still, this will be 6 to 7%. They will create a total listing of all houses they have listed for foreclosure or in danger of foreclosure, like a multiple listing service, so that people who are just totally out of their league house and mortgage wise, can possible find a home, within a short distance of their current home, that they can move into, with a mortgage and payment they can handle quite easily. Those that can afford the homes they are in, with a more reasonable monthly payment will remain, they will be given every opportunity to stay in their homes, with the mortgage company, rewriting their mortgage contracts at the new rate, an if necessary, even go to a 35 yr. repayment structure if really needed, for those young enough, say in late 20's or early 30's, so they will still have plenty of time to pay their mortgage off, before they retire. The mortgage companies and banks will be given three months to get these mortgages rewritten, and forget about any foreclosures; which do nobody any good. With foreclosures everyone loses, the people, the mortgage companies the banks. It makes much more sense to fix the problem then make it worse. If any Mortgage Lenders, who have been unscrupulous in making these loans, say they do not want to do what they should,then the Government, simply tells them about the big fines, penalties and prison sentences awaiting them, if they do not cooperate. Many of these mortgages have changed hands already, well these companies have to file income tax, so they can be traced that way, and they can be made to pay fines and penalties. On Lieu of this, they too, can do all they can to facilitate and expedite these new mortgages so that this crisis will be ended, within the first 6 months of the new administration, and with little government expense. The Health Care Crisis needs to be addressed with a Real Solution not an attempt, not a band aid. There are approximately 100 Million Americans, that either have no Health Care Insurance, or have so little, they are way under insured. This will get even worse over the next year, and will be a Crisis by the time the new administration takes office. I implore you to forget this nonsense about trying to implement a Universal Health Care Plan. Trying to work things out with the Drug Companies and the Insurance Companies will only end in Failure, because they will not bend; and it will cost way too much to try and insure all Americans this way. this thinking also does not guarantee, they will continue to have coverage, no matter what, whether rates go up, they are canceled, lose their job or whatever. With my National Health Care Plan, all Americans who want to join and be covered Completely, with no co-pays, no deductibles, no drug costs, and no bills at the end of that hospital stay, this is the plan that the Majority of Americans really want and need, and yes Deserve. To remove this worry from their minds will do so much to relieve stress levels for them, that many will actually be healthier, just from knowing, this is not a worry anymore. So Sen. Obama, I do hope that you will in fact implement most of these ideas I have outlined here. If you do not, Failure is the future for your administration, as well as the continued suffering of all those Americans you offered the Hope for a Chance for Real Change. You will have let them down, broken your promises, and just continued the usual Washington politics, that you said you wanted to end. For Real Change to occur, totally new and radical ideas have to be implemented, so that the change is for the good of the majority.. Let us work together, ad One People --AMERICANS, working to make a better life for all, working together to make this Country really Great again, one that is looked up to by the world, not down. This Country use to be the Leader of the Free World, how can it be, when it is not even a True Democracy, how can it be, when it's citizens are not covered by a National Health Care program, like even Mexico is? How can we be great when we have so much dissention and discourse among us all? How can we be great, when we have so many poor people going hungry each day, or so poor they have no place to call home? How can we be great when our Veterans are not getting the care they need, due to a mis guided President suffering from a Napoleon Bonaparte Complex, and delusions? In addition the day after Bush leaves office, charges should be made against him, and Chaney, for Treason, killing over 4000 Americans needlessly, bilking the federal government out of Trillions of dollars through Halliburton and all its subsidiaries, for lying to the People of the United States for over 5 years, for failing to provide the security he promised us. For becoming a tyrant, a dictator much worse than Saddam Hussein ever was, for maiming over 100,000 Americans, for killing over 100,000 Iraqi people needlessly with his senseless, unneeded, and illegal War in Iraq. We should also end the war in Afghanistan, it is worthless too, is it our job for the American forces to protect the poppy fields, so that the drug trade out of the middle east can flourish? We need to arrest and detain George Bush, Dick Cheney, Carl Rowe for Illegal activity against the American people as well as the American government. George Bush, still owes this country 13 months of military service, so make him serve it in Iraq or go to Federal prison, while he awaits his trial on all the other charges. Well that is about it for now , I will say, I hope that we have a chance for real change, it sure would be nice; we deserve it.. This is John M. Roberts a.k.a. the Lone Wolf saying: God Bless America, and may all our hope, dreams and promises for a better tomorrow, come true.

There Is Too Much of This Disention Between Blacks & Whites

2008-04-10T10:39:00.001-05:00

I wish someone would have the nerve to really say what really needs to be said. After Obam's Reverened came out with all those comments meant to cause dissention, anger, mistrust, and fuel the fires of discrinination, and misinformation. I had wished that Sen. Obama would really address the issues related to this in a way that would enlighten, educate, as well as maybe finally end this discrinination issue, mainly between the whites and blacks, but also between the latinos and blacks too. Allright let's end all this nonsense, that only a very minute portion of the white population seems to have in there minds, and I would say this is less than 1% of the total U.S. population. First of all, let's set some things straight, and look at some facts. I and most of the white population, had nothing to do with enslaving any blacks way back when. Most of the white population had nothing to do with owning and keeping slaves. This was the dominion of the Rich, who have enslaved a large part of the population over the years and this does include a lot of whites too. When many of the slaves were obtained in Africa, many were actually sold by their own Chieftians, to the white man. These were purchased by the Rich people, many who had plantations in the South, but also by Rich people in the North too. The vast majority of those who were workers, tradesmen, farmers etc. had nothing to do with slavery at all. The Rich who owned slaves are just like the Rich who today use and abuse the working man, be he black, white, hispanic, chinese or whatever, it is what they do, it is what they have always done. any thousands of white people were also enslaved, for them it was called Indentured Servitude. Many who came over on those sailing ships, similar to in most ways to the slave ships; could not afford thier passage to the New World. They were made to sign an aggreement, which amounted to legal slavery, for white men, this Indentured Servitude was the way they paid the rich men who paid their way, or assisted them in other ways, and these poor folks had no way to pay. They had no way to pay except with their lives, many would serve their "master" for many years, doing whatever he told them to do, whatever he made them do; to repay thier debt to the rich who financed them in one way or another. In addition, many Irish were hired to build bridges, the big tunnels under the rivers in N.Y.City area, and to work on the Railroads. Most of these jobs were extremely dangerous, and thousands died, the railroad workers who built the railroads were treated like slaves too, many were either Irish or Chinese working on the Intercontinental Railroad, that spanned the U.S. back in the 1800s. Now let's set another issue straight, the Rich white man, may have enslaved thousands of blacks way back when before the Civil War, but they did not kill too many, they were too valuable. Let's take a look though at the "brothers' of these black men, in Africa, where Millions have been Killed by their own kind, black men killing black men, by the milliions. IN addition there have been many more thousands of black men who have been enslaved by other black men in Africa, then ever were by any white men in the U.S.. I thought Obama would want to get the facts out there, and tell all those black people out there, it is fine to be pround of their heritage, but totally unnecessary for them to always be referring to themselves as African/Americans. This is absured, most Afrikans would be insulted by this. If you were not born in Africa, then you are NOT, I repeat you are Not, African/American; you are just an American. It would be absurd for every American, and technically that would be all Americans, to be calling themselves Irish/American, or Chinese/American, or Italian/American, or Korean?American, or Mexican?American every time they opened thier mouths. The only ones that have any Real Claim to using this terminology would be the American Indian, who is the original American. For all those blacks especially who think they should refrer to themselves as African/Americans, then go back to Africa, and see how well you do there. First of all you would not last a week in most African countries or states, and they would not want you anyway.. because you are Not a true Afrikan, and many refer to themselves as. You are first to be called or referred by the country you were born in, or if you became a citizen then you also are a real American. It is not the fault of the white man, or the spanish man, working beside you, or with you, or in your neighborhood, who is the one who you should be taking you anger, frustration, and exassperation out on, they did nothing to place you in the position in life that you find yourself in. It is the RICH man still that keeps you as well as most Americans down; they are the ones who are not paying a livable wage, they are the ones who are taking away your heathcare coverage, your pensions, and yes even your jobs, with outsourcing, and moving their operations to other countries; it is not the poor white man or latino. This has been going on for the longest time, and will continue, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and we are all in the same boat, no matter what color we are. It is the "Working Man", who has always struggled, always been underpaind and who has been taken advantage of by the Rich white men, and it will continue. It will continue that this goverment will be run by the rich, for the rich, and of the rich.. It is not for the People. by the People and of the People (the other 85%), of the population as it should be. Neither Obama, or Hillary have any real plans to change this either.. We need to come together with real Plans to really change this country, to give the Power back to the People, to make thier lives so much better, to give them a National Health Care Plan, to end the War in Iraq, and Afghanistan without causing an all out Middle Easter War, which will blossom into WW 3. To make the tax system that is much fairer for the majority of the population... We need real Leaders with real Plans, not just a Hoep for a Chance, to change things, or a Chance at Hope , for something better. It is time the American People really spoke uo, all One Voice , no matter what color, or ancestry, and make their chosen leaders live up to their promises, and hype. Stand up American, and be One for your country, make English the official language of the United States, live up to the Name - and be United as One People and make it happen. It is all possible, it is not just a dream, it can become reality with the right Leader, who really had guts, and real plans for our well being, our future, to make America great again. The first step is to totally Unite all the People of the United States, to work towards making life for the majority much more equitable, and enjoyable, and feel like really bing pround of being an American, a real American, where it is the first word you speak, when someone asks you what you are. We are all to blame for letting things get worse, in this country, by not insisting that our leaders live up to the promises they made to us to get elected. To really change things for the better for the majority of the U.S. population. I do hop that someone will read, understand and do something with this information, I have provided here; to really make a change . Do you really want to just blame someone or do you really want to see things change in yoru lives, in this country for the betterment of the majority of Americans. If you do, then it is time to contact those that are running for President, or congressman/woman, and let them know, what it is that you really want done, want changed... Do it America,stand up as One, and maybe, just maybe we really can be One in this Nation......"United We Stand, Divided We Fall". God Bless America. The Lone Wolf.. John M. Roberts please forgive any typos.

One Solution To Global Warming, Esp. In Our Major Cities-Save Gas Too

2008-03-12T21:08:00.003-05:00

Some thoughts regarding Global Warming, Solutions

Hi once again, there has been a lot of talk about cleaning up the atmosphere, yet very little has been done about it, and there is a solution already available, that will eliminate at least 50% of pollution, smog, and really make a dent quickly in cleaning up the air, especially in cites, mainly large cities of a million or more. This solution will also save at least 50% of our fuel, that is right we can save at least 50% of our oil, gas etc.... which should give us an abundance, bring oil and gas prices down drastically, and give our economy a great one great boost... You sit there wondering what could this miracle thing be...well let me tell you this, in 1997, GMC already tested, with real drivers, this wonderful thing....it was the Electic Car. Yes you are wondering is this true, well what happened to it...then? Let me tell you, they manufactured about 400 of them, it had one flaw at the time the batteries it was using only allowed a driving range of about 200 miles; of course this was still plenty for 95% of commuters. There was a better battery available, but Gm along with oil companies kept it quiet, by buying the company. This new battery, had a range of at least 600 miles, making it perfect for commuting, as well as most day trips.. So you are asking what happened, well first of all, see if you can find on showtime, or maybe on the net.. "Who Killed the Electric Car"? This gave the complete story, and in the end, even though the car looked sharp, could do highway speeds, and worked really well.... they tested it, in a limited capacity for about 2 yrs. They would only lease the car, and after the lease expired, they would not even allow these drivers of these cars (who by the way, were mostly celebrities), to buy them. They recalled them all, and destroyed most of them.... Now you ask why, well this care needed no brakes, no oil changes, no oil filters, and of course no gasoline....so think , guess who was behind it all, the end of the Electric car, and all it could do. By the way, there were over 4000 people who signed up to get one, but they were all ignored. The reason GMC gave for the end of this wonderful car, there was not enough interest in it.. It was by the way, only marketed in California, and only through a few dealers. So there you have it people, once again Big Oil companies rule; they say there is a shortage, the rob us blind, by jacking up the gas prices, along with heating oil and propane. The shortages are caused by them, no new refineries have been built in the U.S. since the late 70's. Then when something appears that will suddenly put those enormous Profit Margins of over 350 Billion dollars in a bind; they say Kill It, so it did die. The average driver drives about 340 miles a yr. in commuting back and forth to work, think of the savings in oil, think of the savings to the environment, think what the end of gas and oil shortages would mean to all of us. These cars could be subsidized by local city and county government, to help people buy them...the money they now spend on pollution controls of various types, could be used to help people buy these new Electric cars, which by the way, were no more than say a loaded Chevy Malibu. Well People, there you have it, what are you going to do about it? We have a quick fix, that will make a really dramatic difference to all our lives, and most important to our environment, especially around the cities. The technoligy is there, the car has been already designed and built...it is a reality...so where is it? This transition could be accomplished in less than 2 yrs, and it is the fastest most simple, cost effective way of saving at least 50% of our fuel, and cutting emissions by at least 50% almost immediately, at a very small cost to all of us.. Well once again, I have tried to educate you all, and give you something to think about, and something to do something about...so let's get going people, and let your local government officials know that you want this car, let the Federal government know you want this care, and you want it Now... Let's start getting things done., by letting them know, we the 85% of unappreciated Americans, who are constantly taken for granted, are tired of all the nonsense, and a government, that is for the rich, by the rich, and of the rich. It is time for the American people to start really letting Washington, and your state and local governments, that you want real change, and you want it now. Bye for now my fellow Americans. By the way, wouldn't this be a great way to Jump Start, our faltering American Auto Industry; they could all try to out do each it in trying to come up with the best Electric cars. In addition, that state helping out with money, for example in Texas, for the past year, they have been giving $3500 to those that will turn in there old junk heap that is 10 years or older... So you see it can be done, this money would cover down payments for most for the new electric cars. John Roberts a.k.a. The Lone Wolf..

A National Health Care Plan-How To Implement It-Complete Outline

2008-03-12T20:55:00.002-05:00

A NOTE--REMEMBER THE CLINTON STUDY TO TRY AND IMPLEMENT A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PLAN THE FIRST YEAR THEY WERE IN OFFICE. HILLARY AND OVER 100 "EXPERTS" DID A THREE MONTH STUDY, TO FIND A WAY TO IMPLEMENT THIS PLAN, THEY FAILED (actually it took 3 years, and still failure, because she tried to work with them, not tell them, this is the way it will be, as it has to be done. Note: ot would be foolish to have Medicare, Medicaid, the Federal Employees Plan, as well as over 200 Private Insurance Plans to work with, and the cost would be highly prohibitive; ending with Failure with the entire promise to provide Health Care for all. SO BEWARE OF THOSE THAT SAY IT CAN'T BE DONE, OR THAT THEY NEED TO DO A STUDY...THIS IS BUNK THE PLAN AS OUTLINED. WILL WORK. Everyone who signs up for the program, and I venture to say, that will be close to 143,000,000 people will pay 2% of their gross pay into the system, this is for adults, 2% add. for each child to be covered in the system. Average taxpayers will e in 'Regions, an Eastern, Central & Western region, to keep ,costs controlled & yet provide fair $$ to each region, since the costs vary; This same buying power can be used all the way down the line, instead of. 1 CAT scan machine, the government , buys for the region, say 12 machines at a much reduced price. All these things are dropped shipped directly to the needed facility. This will save paperwork again. By the way, the Ins. companies can still make $ selling expensive Policies to the Rich, who do not want the Government Heath Care plan; and by using them regionally. to process health care claims" paying them a set price for each one they process., therefore not adding, this to the duties of the Government. In addition, there must be a GOVERNMENT MALPRACTICE INSURANCEPLAN implemented to control costs of Malpractice Ins. AU those that participate will pay greatly reduced premiums, and a maximum cap will be in place of $10,000,000'for any one person to receive, with any associated. legal costs' added to this (note this will be limited to a maximum of 10% of the amount awarded to the plaintiffs). This will help all those in the medical profession; and help keep them where they are needed, and in the medical fields. .It will be necessary to place any and all medical malpractice suits in a special database, and all those that are sued; , and if they are found guilty will be placed on probation, and careful watched and monitored for a year, before being reviewed to decide if they can be removed from their probationary status. In addition a WATCHDOG team of Reg. Americans, should be put into place to: Watch over Spending, ,to make sure ,the Tax $$ are being spent the correct way, without waste; such as the waste & rip offs in .the present Medicare. system, which, amounts to over 120 to 150 Billion each year minimum. REMEMBER THE ONES WHO REALLY NEED THE CARE, THE OLD FOLKS; OF WHICH WE ALL WILL BE SOMEDAY THE ONES IN NURSING HOMES, BEING UNDERFED, UNDER CARED FOR, MISTREATED, ABUSED IT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY FOR THESE PEOPLE TO SELL THEIR HOMES AND EVERYTHING, SO THEY CAN PLACE A PARENT, A HUSBAND OR WIFE, OR EVEN A CHILD, WHO REALLY NEEDS THIS KIND OF CARE TO GET IT THEY SHOULD GET IT, AND WILL GET IT, WITH THIS NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM. UNDER THIS NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM, ALL HOSPITALS, NURSING HOMES AND CLINICS WILL BE CHECKED EVERY 6 MOS. OR IF THEIR IS A MAJOR COMPLAINT AGAINST ANY HOSPITAL, OR NURSING HOME OR EVEN CLINICS. THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL HOTLINE IN PLACE THAT CLEARLY PUTSINFORMATION AT ANYONES FINGERTIPS REGARDING ANY DOCTOR OR OTHER HEALTH CARE WORKER WHO HAS HAD ANY CHARGES OF MALPRACTICE, OR SIMILAR CHARGES PLACED AGAINST THEM, THE OUTCOME, AND THEIR STANDING IN THE NATIONAL HEAL THE CARE PROGRAM AT ANY GIVEN TIME INCLUDING IF THEY ARE ON PROBATION, BEEN REINSTATED OR TOTALLY OUTLAWED FROM PRACTICING MEDICINE, NOT ONLY IN THE STATE WHERE THE CHARGES STARTED, BUT IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES; SO THEY CANNOT EVER AGAIN HURT ANYONE. RIGHT NOW, THIS INFORMATION IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, NOR IS IT READILY AVAILABLE EVEN TO ALL THOSE THAT NEED TO BE AWARE OF IT IN THE MEDICAL FIELD, OR TO THE AUTHORITIES.YOUR MEDICAL IDENTIFICATION CARD WILL HAVE ALL PERTINENT INFORMATION ON IT, BLOOD TYPE, ANY ALLERGIES, ANY MEDICAL PROBLEMS, ANY MAJOR HEALTH CONDITIONS, SUCH AS HAVING A PACEMAKER, DIABETES, OR OTHER LIFE THREATENING CONDITION, THAT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS NEED TO KNOW, BEFORE THEY PROVIDE ANY EMERGENCY TREATMENT. IT WILL ALSO HAVE A "KEY" TO ACCESS ALL YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS, WHICH CAN BE ACCESSED ONLY AFTER YOU SIGN A CONSENT FORM TO RELEASE THE REST OF YOUR PERSONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION THIS WILL HELP SAVE LIVES.ALSO ON THIS CARD WILL BE ANY CURRENT MEDICATIONS & DOSAGES ANY INDIVIDUAL IS TAKING, TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS WITH OVERDOSING, OR CONFLICTS WITH ANY MEDICATIONS THEY MAY BE ON; AGAIN SAVING MANY LIVES NOTE: CORPORATIONS HAVE
COMPLAINED FOR YEARS ABOUT THEIR MEDICAL INS. COVERAGE COSTS FOR
EMPLOYEES FOR. WELL WITH THE NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PLAN THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY PRIVATE INS. COMPANIES EXPENSIVE PREMIUMS. IF THEY SIGN UP WITH THE NATIONAL PLAN, THEY WILL ONLY HAVE TO PAY 10% OF Each Employee's gross salary into the system, to help cover costs of this National Health Care Plan. A REDUCTION OF AT LEAST 10%to 30% OF THEIR PRESENT COSTS. By the way this holds true for the National Health care Program too, their will be ONE UNIFORM FORM, WITH 7 COPIES built into it, that will be used Nationwide in all hospitals, clinics, and doctor offices nationwide, this will ensure there are enough copies for each dept. This will cut down confusion, it will save trees, and make things a lot easier, and more economical too. This is just one cost cutting measure that will be implemented. My other proposal will be to have all doctors, all hospitals, all clinics fill out information sheets, that will contain information such as the costs they encountered the past year, what they paid for implements, all the things they purchased to do their job, and what they charged their patients for these things, and services. A detailed report of what they charge for the various services and surgeries they perform. A full detailed report from all hospitals as to what they paid for everything they use in the hospital, and what they charged for these same things, when billed to their patients and insurance companies.A full detailed report on salaries they paid to all of their employees, according to the position they have there. Then all this information will be fed into computers, to come up with the average charges they are paying and charging for all these things. Then the country will be divided into three regions, the East, the Midwest, and the West. Adjustments will be made for each region, and cost and charges for all services will be determined for all these services,based on that average in each region; so that we have a uniform service charge throughout the region. Once this has been done, under the National Health care Plan, these payments will be made according to the information we have determined for the "average" charges for each service or procedure.This will help control costs, as will bulk buying for each region. Now one of the key issues will be controlling the prescription drug costs, this can easily be done by contacting the major drug manufactures, and telling them you want to have the exact costs involved with each and every drug the manufacture; this won't be hard, they will have these figures on hand already. Now after compiling this information, they will send in , and once again we put the computers to work, comparing the costs on each and every drug. We then contact the drug manufactures and tell them what we feel is a fair price for each drug they sell.Now this will be for each drug company, who are in competition with each other. If they cooperate, we can split the buying amongst them, if not, then one company may very well get the bulk of that business; leaving the other drug company to find some other outlet for the sale of their drugs. In other words, we now will have a large membership, I would guess somewhere around 145,000,000 people that will sign up for the National Health care Plan, immediately; this gives us the strength to negotiate fair prices therefore we control the costs. Now in closing, I feel that if those who at first thought my ideas were unfair to them, that these same people think of the country as a whole, and think of what is good for the country as a whole, what is good for the American people, what is good for America. Are they going to say; they don't want to see a National Health care Plan, I don't think so.. We have needed one, deserved one for a very long time. We are the only major country in the world not to have one, and being number 17 on the world's lost of heath care is not good. I IMPLORE ALL AMERICANS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, IT IS FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA, AND ALL AMERICANS. IT IS WHAT WILL BEGIN TO PUT THIS COUNTRY BACK ON TOP ONCE MORE. SO LET'S PULL TOGETHER AMERICA, THINK UNITY, THINK WHAT IS BEST FOR ALL. Contact Obama, and let them know, it is possible to have a true National Health Care Plan for all Americans. Both Clinton and Obama, are talking about a universal health care system. This will never work, when they Ins. companies are in charge, they have a built in 30% to 40% profit margin , this will make any of their plans, totally out of reach, and the Ins. companies will tell you , who they will insure and not.. So don't waste your time with either of those ideas, that is all they are, neither of them, have any kind of Plan at all. let's look at how the other money will come into play. First of all, since we are going to have a National Health Care Plan, all other Federal and State Plans can be done away with. That means Medicare, there are at least 50 million that are receiving it in some fashion, lots of money there, in premums being paid-(at least 400Billion I would think).. there is also Medicaid, the Federally funded State program, more Billions there. Then there is the real Deluxe program, the Federal Employees Medical Plan, you know the one that all Congress etc. have, wonderful plan, but very costly to the taxpayers; I estimate another 100 Billion there at least.Ok so now we have at least 500 Billion dollars, probably a lot more, but I don't have access to these exact figures. As you can see there is an abundance of money for the National Health Care Program. I estimate that startup costs will be about 300 billion, now this figure may go up a bit, but not much, if all the rest of the program as outlined in the other blog here are followed, to control costs. Ok, there you have it, the impossible can be done, and without increasing taxes on the working population, you know the other 85% who really support this country, and would like something really tangible back for all their hard work. Now this plan is all inclusive, it will cover everything within the guidelines of the National Health Care Plan, with will cover all medical expenses 100%, and all prescriptions with no donuts or anything like that going on either.. Why all these years those in Washington and elsewhere said this could not be done, is just a lie. It is because too many are in the pockets of the drug and medical industries, getting their palms greased. It can be done, and will not cause any damage to the economy either. This Fund will pay for itself, and be sure that all those that do not have Medical coverage, or cannot afford it get it... This is one of the Best things for this Country, we are the only civilized nation in the world that does not have some kind of National Health Care system for its citizens, even Cuba has one. So think people, think and then let those out there Know that you want this, and want it before the end of 2008; it can be fully functional before the end of 2008. Do not let the politicians tell you it can't be done, it can...and don't let them get away with a proposal like Hillary Clinton, saying she will work on it, and have some kind of program in place within her first term. It can up and full functional and covering all those that want this total coverage well before the end of 2008.For all those that do not want this, like the rich people who think such a program is beneath them, they can still buy their own coverage from the Insuerance companies. Well that is about it, there will be more coming on other problems, like the Illegal alien problem, those stupid people in Washington, D.C. have absurd proposals, and will get nothing done. the fence, is also absurd, what we need is a solution , one that is fair, and easy to implement, and at the same time, does not take 10 yrs or more to fully become viable. Well thank you all once again, this is the Lone Wolf signing off. John M. Roberts once more.I don't know about you, but I am tired of hearing both of them say a lot of words, but it is all just sound bites and things we want to hear. Empty promises of a "Chance for Hope"? My dog Bear is bored with it all,so am I, and so should you be; demand more. Tell them stop the sound bits, tell us your Plan, if you have one, which they really don't. that seems to be the message from both of them.....Obama more so. Okey, so they are both talking about "Universal" Health Care, hot a National Health Care Plan, like the one I have proposed here...in my other blogs. Well neither idea will work, and if it could, it would cost probably twice what my National Health Care Plan would. Okey first of all, Insurance companies have to make a good profit, at least 30% to 40%; that right there will increase the cost for no good reason.. They will not insure people with cancer, heart disease, or any other major ailment; and even if they did, they woudl charge so much, it would be way too costly to pay for, through them. You cannot deal with or through Insurance companies, Hillary tried that last time and failed miserably. What needs to be done, is come up with a plan, present it to the people, and tell them; elect me, and this will be yours. We will make it happen together, and have it up and running, within 6 months.I think that a minimum of 143 million people would support it, and that would be the amount of votes One would get....should be a record. Don't you think that finally there should be Plans by these two candidates, saying something, and have no idea how you want to, or will make it happen, is not a Leader, at all. We have had one of those idiots for over 7 years; never a real plan, just jump in...and always trouble...and nothing good comes from it. I wonder if this is really what we want again, from our new President? They both talk about change, but have no idea how they will accomplish this change. The only change I see and hear from either of them is the Chance for Hope, there will be change... this is not good enough for me, is it for you?I know they all want to scare people with the talk of Socialized Medicine, and compare any National Plan to Canada's or Great Britons, well my plan, is nothing like that. Read the blogs on my plan, and you will see, the only thing that changes overall, is cost cutting, total coverage for all, at a very affordable rate, just 2% of Gross Income of the family, for each member of that family. So if that family is making say $50,000 a yr. gross, and there is a husband, wife, and two children, the total cost for them would be-$400, year. You ask why so little , because a family of 4 making less than $45,000 a year, would not have to pay. the family of 4 making $50,000, pays only on the a month over that minimum. It is a graduated scale, the more you make, the more you pay, fair for all. This would be capped off, at $250,000, after that, you will not have to pay anymore into the system... I think though, that since this is set up for the "people", the working class, the rich will probably want to buy their own, so for the most part, those that join, will probably make less than $15,000. Now this is Total coverage, 100%, for all doctor, hospital, clinic, and drug costs. In addition, each Company would be required to put in 10% of each employee's salary into the fund also. This along with the money already in the system, Medicare, The Federal Employee's Health Plan, and Medicaid, would prove more than enough money to cover those that could not afford it. All hospitals, clinics, hospices, even V.A. hospitals etc. will be part of the system. This means all Vets will be covered by the Nati'l Helath Care Plan too, and can go to any hospital they wish or is convenient for them. this applies to non vets as well, if the closet hospital is a Vet hospital, they can go there. When the money that will be paid into the system by members starts coming in, we can use that money to start improving on the Nat'l Health Care System we have implemented, to make it the "model system", for the world to see. Right now, we, as well as many other countries, wonder why the presumed greatest country in the World does not have what most other civilized countries have, a Nat'l Health Care System, where all their people can receive Health Care. It is important to note, that a Total Wellness program will be implemented, to get people back in shape, before the obesity and diabetic situation becomes a problem, that is too big to reverse. Well thank you for reading this, now it is time to Act, let others know, that there is a way to make this happen, do it today, and let your Presidential Candidate know too.. I will be dealing with other solutions too, ending the Iraq War, The rotten Income tax system and more. Thanks again. John Roberts a.k.a. the Lone Wolf By the way, I think all who read this, should make sure Senator Obama is informed about this, much better than his idea of Universal Health Care Plan, which will never happen, because of the greed and power of the Insurance Companies. J.R. Be sure to press the Read More button below, for more reasons why it work work with Ins. companies. Thanks again. John Roberts a.k.a. The Lone Wolf

The Big Problem of Illegal Aliens, What to Do

2008-02-24T16:21:00.003-06:00

Well this is a problem, that many in Washington, do not want to tackle, expecially right now, prior to the elections. Most have stated that they should be sent home, rounded up, which is impossible to do. It is impossible to even round up the estimated Two Million who are breaking the law, that's right criminals, including gang members. They have also suggested they they "get to the back of the Line", for those who wish to become citizen. well I have what I think is a much better, logical, more rational solution to this problem... Ok people, we cannot in any way shape or frm, round up all the estimated 15 to 20 Million Illegal aliens in this country, not all are from Mexico either. We can't even round up the estimated 2 million of those illegal aliens that are doing illegal things everyday. Let's forget about that ridiculous notion, that the Illegals have to get to the 'back of the line', as somea suggested, and where is this line to start? If the line ran from Los angeles Ca., all the way to N.Y. city, it would not be long enough. What we should do is impart some logic and common sense into the solution to this problem. First off since we cannot in any way round them up, or send them to the back of the line; we need to speed up the process of allowing, all aliens to become U.S. Citizens in a period of 2 yrs, not 10, as it is now. This country has spent 100's of Millions of dollars on them, and not got a penny back from them, what a waste. Here is How I believe it can be implemented. We start a campaign by the government running television and radio ads. Telling all illegal immigrants that we are allowing all of them to become citizens. In addition they need to sign up for theNat'L Health Care Plan, as well as legitimate Social Security Cards, and legal driving license. These ads will run in both english and spanish, concentrating in high density areas, but covering the entire country. these should be run as public service announcements, during the day but especially during high driving time, as well as prime time on television. Yes I know this is a form of amnesty, but let's face it what else can be done; fine them $5000 as some have suggested, or impose other restrictions on them, all absurd ideas. We need to get them into the SYSTEM, as quicly as possible, by so doing, we can find out a lot about them, and other important information. They are told this is absolutely necessary, to enroll their children in scholls, to receive any kind of health care, and to work legally in this country; and enforce these rules. Ok so any S.S. office, School, Hospital, can have special areas set up for thes people to register. We cna also set up these sign-ins, in community centers, and other neighborhood facilities already in existance, to expedite these proceedings. We make it clear in the announcements, which will include clear signs in all public places;schools, hospitals, libraries, court houses etc. what is involved, the benefits, and the fact that we will not prosecute anyone who is signing up, or deport them, whild going through this process. Now during the interview of these people, we gather information, we find out names of all members of that household, where they are working, how much they are making, where their children currently go to school, their addresses of where they live, and other pertinant information. Now we know a lot more about them, and can use the information in various ways. For example, where they work, we can now go to these places nd Heavily Fine them for hiring Illegal aliens, we may also be able to Heavily Fine them for not paying the legal minimum wage. A lot of illegals work in fine homes, or in fine hotes, and restaurants, bersides the fields, and factories and other places of business. Ok the fines we levey are very stiff, we use this money to offset the costs of getting these illegal aliens into the System. I believe that the Fines will be in the Multi Millions. Ok if say Jose Gonzalas works, his wife works, as well as his brother and cousin, we get all this information down, now we know a lot more about jose, as well as his relatives. If he does not work, we want to know how he is living, where does the money come from that he lives on... these answers may lead us to find out, the illegals who are doing illegal things to earn money; these individuals will either be deported or arrested. Ok we now know all about our example: Jose Gonzalas, we know where he works illegally, that he is not being paid at least min. wages, maybe is even being forced to do more than he should, by threats of deportation. We right these situations for him, and his family, as well as making sure, those that have broken the law, agains hiring illegals, or not paying themin. wage etc. will pay for their crimes. This makes Jose happy, he keeps his job though from this point on. the Ones who hire these illegals will be Heavily fined, and serverly warned against commiting this crime again. Jose remains on the job, he is not fired, after coming into the System, because now he has Temporary Legal Status,(rights are somewhat restricted-can't vote for exapmle) as long as he follows the rules, and does what is needed to become a U.S. Citizen within the 2 year period, which includes learning English (which by the way, has always been the case for all those immigrants over the yrs. except it seems since the 60's) English will be made the Official language of the U.S., as it should be. This allowing the spanish language to dominate the schools, the workplace, and other public facilities will end. No more will we call someplace, and be asked if we want to speak on English.... this is the U.S. of America, not South America. We will slowly reverse the trend that has been allowe to divide this country, by speaking both languages equally, and in some cases more so in Spanish. This is just devisive to this Country; all immigrants who came to this Country, knew, understood, and were proud to learn English, the language of their new adopted country, as it should be now. They can still speak whatever other language they want to, in their homes and in their neighborhoods, if they so choose; but out in the 'world', they will speak English. Now we have Jose and his wife, and children, in the system. He will be making at least minimum wages, and will have a legitimate S.S. card; he can now start paying F.I.C.A. and other taxes... (oh my, you mean, they will actually start paying into the System, no more totally Free ride-yes Virginia, that is true-oh my). Ok they will have to become American Citizens within 2 yrs, if not, they will be deported. This along with all the benefits, including a Temporary Nat'l Health Care card, will be incentive for them to do so. A note here: the Temp. Nat'l Health Care card, will entitle them to basic health care, not elective surgery of any kind. Ok Jose and his entire family are in the System, and they are on the road to becoming legal citizens, and he can help pass the word along, how good this is. Now let's get to Boder Security, we have tons of Electonic Security devices that can be used along the border to enhance the job of the border patrol. Now if we did not have almost all our National Guard Units over in Iraq, I would also have many of them on border duty too. Now this notion of spending over 900 million dollars to build a partial fence on the border, is another big waste of money. Think about it for a monent, please. Any kind of fence, can be dug under, climbed over, or cut through, and it will be. What I propose is a heck of a lot cheaper and much more effective, to be used in conjunction with electronic surveilance equiptment, as well as border patrol and the Nat'l guard. We did a trench, this trench will be 50 feet wide, and 25 feet deep, the dirt that is taken out of that trench is piled up on the Northern side of the trench. Ok now the illegals have a giant trech to get past, they cannot climb over it, dig under it, nor cut it; they can't use a rope to get over it, or any kind of ladder, heck they can't even try to cross it with a vehicle, since that vehicle will run right into the giant dirt pile on the other side of the trench. I estimate the height of the dirt pile to be at least 35 feet high. Now think of it, the cost will be about 2/3s less, than a fence, it will stop them cold. ok you say, they have gotten past the trench, andd have climbed the dirt hill, what will stop them now? Well my fellow Americans, that is simple, we have electronic sensors imbedded in and around the trench, which will sound off silently there, but loudly back at the border patrol base. From this point, they can send units there, or a helicopter, to drive them back or impound them for return to Mexico, immediately. When the trench and the dirt pile are wet from rains, it will be even harder to try to get past. So we have a Natural barrier and mother nature will help keep the illegals out. Well I think I have addressed this problem and come up with a viable solution to it.. It would be absolutely absurd to do anything else, and to pass such laes to try and deport all of them and then physically do so, would be not only impossible, but totally cost prohibitive. Well once again, I am signing off, have a great week, and please get the word out, so Obama, can actually have Plans and Solutions , not just ideas. He will need them during his continuing battles with Hillary, as well as John McCain. I hope he will at least read these solutions and maybe realize how good they are, and use them to Win. I bid you farewell for now, have a great week, and God Bless America John M. Roberts a.k.a. the Lone Wolf.. Undergoing MyBlogLog Verification

Well It Seems Neither Obama, or Clinton have the Answers

2008-02-12T11:05:00.000-06:00

I don't know about you, but I am tired of hearing both of them say a lot of words, but it is all just sound bites and things we want to hear. Empty promises of a "Chance for Hope"? My dog Bear is bored with it all,so am I, and so should you be; demand more.

I wonder if this is really what we want again, from our new President? They both talk about change, but have no idea how they will accomplish this change. The only change I see and hear from either of them is the Chance for Hope, there will be change... this is not good enough for me, is it for you? Neither has a solution to ending the war in Iraq, get the toups out, without a plan, and you will have WW 3 within 3 months in the Middle East,with the the entire Islamic Nation around the world up in arms. I have a Plan, that makes sense, and we put all the blame on George Bush, the idiot suffering from a Napoleon Complex, and Cheney, the war monger. then lay out my plan, in another blog her, logical, and sensibly. What about taxes, they can't re4ally cut taxes, since there is so much Debt that Bush is leaving, probably about 12 Trillion before he leaves office. The other alternative, stay as long as it takes to win, is absurd; like Vietnam, we cannot win this war. I know they all want to scare people with the talk of Socialized Medicine, and compare any National Plan to Canada's or Great Britons, well my plan, is nothing like that. Read the blogs on my plan, and you will see, the only thing that changes overall, is cost cutting, total coverage for all, at a very affordable rate, just 2% of Gross Income of the family, for each member of that family.

This along with the money already in the system, Medicare, The Federal Employee's Health Plan, and Medicaid, would prove more than enough money to cover those that could not afford it.

Just Some thoughts on The Presidental Elections

2008-01-14T18:53:00.000-06:00

I have been watching particularly the Democratic Debates, have checked a couple of republican debates, but I believe they have no chance to win, well one slight chance, if Hillary should win, then maybe they have a 49% chance of winning out over Hillary. Well first off,we surely need some real change, and definitely new Leadership, real Leadership in this country and we need it bad. Well to me a Leader is one who can not only incite the people to really want change, and of course Leadership, that not only will talk about the problems facing America today, but who will also at the very least give us an Outline of how he will bring about this change, in each area. As usual all I am hearing are soundbites, little tidbits of words we want to hear; like we will cut taxes, how, and for whom, how will they give us Nat'l Health Care, how will they really end the War in Irag, so the region does not go totally out of control, and we find ourselves in an all out Islamic
War? If they just cut taxes there will not be enough money to balance the budget, eliminate the huge deficit which I am sure will be at least 11 or 12 Trillion Dollars by the time Bush leaves office. There will not be enough money to fix the crumbling Infrastructure, which is estimated now will cost from 15 to 17 Trillion dollars. There will not be money to get all the money back that Bush stole from the S.S. Fund, there will not be enough money to fund needed Social programs, many which were cut, or eliminated under Bush. There will not be enough money to get us ready for the Pandemic-of Bird Flu,which is coming-(there have already been at least 185 human deaths,and a number of mammal deaths too; since it is mutating, it is maybe 1 or 2 jumps away from becoming a full blown human Pandemic, which can hit us at any time. It is extimated if when it hits the U.S., there will be a minimum of 50 Million deaths, this is only from the disease itself. This does not count those that will die from either the heat or cold, unable to pay or even obtain the fuel they need, or will starve to death, unable to buy or even find food. Therefore this total will probably be at least 100 Million, also cattle, horses, pets will die too, as well as most animal life, possibly excluding a lot of insects. There could also be more deaths due to other diseases related to the rotting bodies, which will all have to be burned, if there people to actually burn them in mass graves. There is no vacccine, and Temaflu does not work, as a cure at all, it merely temporarily retards the Bird Flu effects, so we need a Vaccine for All, that is over 200 Million doses for all of us. It will take at least 6 mos. to a year to make that many doese, even if all the drug companies go to work on it. So there you have wonderful news, if you doubt how bad this realy is, take a look at the program on the Science channel, Pandemic:Bird Flu, done in 2007; it will scare the pants off you. Getting back to the Presidential debates, only hearing soundbits so far, if we are really looking for a "NEW" Leader for this country, shouldn't he or she, have at least an Outline of how they will change things, or implement them, not just empty promises, as we have gotten for over 35 years/more? How will they attack the problem of Global Warming and Pollution, and pay for these things, also if they cut taxes, or even leave them as it it? It can't be done,at least 25-30 Trillion dollars will be needed to attack all these problems. There is I am sure at least 5% Trillion we can 'find', this is money currently being wasted on pork barrel projects, the War in Irag, Waste in the Medicare and Medicade systems, as well as out and out rip-offs there too. What will give us the money this country needs to get these things done, is a Flat Tax System, which puts the burdon on the Rich, who have too much money. I am talking mainly about the people who make 2,5, 10,15, 25, 50, or even a 100 Million dollars a yr. or more. They all made this money off the backs of the working glass, or because they took jobs away from them. These also include sports figures, actors and actresses, music stars and the like. If it weren't for the "working class", none of them would be this rich, it is time they carried the load they should be. On average, the working man/woman pays about 23% of there earnings to Taxes, the Rich person pays less than 15%, that is an unjust disparity. These earnings should include those homes, planes, boats, vacations, stock options etc. that the rich peple get, esp. the Executive officers, as part payment of their salery; all these things need to be Taxed by the gov't, Federal and State. Those that try to hide their money in some offshore accounts, will not only be charged with Fraud,and Tax Evasion, but also treason,we can also bring pressure to bear, with the terrorist act, afterall, why are they hiding their money? By doing all this and telling them The Federal gov't will do this, that will stop that from happening. So how about starting pressing these Candidates for real answers as to how they will fix, or correct or Change things that are wrong now, like the Patriot Act,which has removed a lot of our Constitutional rights, or wasting Billions of taxpayers dollars on War, or Tax breaks for the rich, or Oil companies and the like. We have a real chance here for Change, but we Need Real Change, not just talk, we need Real Leadership. We need Real Solutions to America's Problems and we need them fast. I want to know who has those solutions and answers, that is the person we need to lead us one with a real Plan for this Country. A leader who will make us the Greatest Nation in the world once again. I am one who will gladly back this person, and I sure do hope, that this election will give us that Leader....we are running out of time quickly... I am trying my best to provide answers, solutions, and to ask the right questions, all to make all of us thing, and act. Thank You. John M. Roberts aka the Lone Wolf

More Information on the National Healthcare Plan-How It Can Be Done

2007-12-25T14:34:00.000-06:00

Ok people you will have to bear with me, because when I first figured this all out, it was for the last election, and I have lost all my notes; therefore, am doing my best to put this down, just from memory. Now for those that have read the other part, with the financing and payments to be made, let's look at how the other money will come into play. First of all, since we are going to have a National Health Care Plan, all other Federal and State Plans can be done away with. That means Medicare, there are at least 50 million that are receiving it in some fashion, lots of money there, in premums being paid-(at least 400Billion I would think).. there is also Medicaid, the Federally funded State program, more Billions there. Then there is the real Deluxe program, the Federal Employees Medical Plan, you know the one that all Congress etc. have, wonderful plan, but very costly to the taxpayers; I estimate another 100 Billion there at least. Ok so now we have at least 500 Billion dollars, probably a lot more, but I don't have access to these exact figures. As you can see there is an abundance of money for the National Health Care Program. I estimate that startup costs will be about 300 billion, now this figure may go up a bit, but not much, if all the rest of the program as outlined in the other blog here are followed, to control costs. Ok, there you have it, the impossible can be done, and without increasing taxes on the working population, you know the other 85% who really support this country, and would like something really tangible back for all their hard work. Now this plan is all inclusive, it will cover everything within the guidelines of the National Health Care Plan, with will cover all medical expenses 100%, and all prescriptions with no donuts or anything like that going on either. Why all these years those in Washington and elsewhere said this could not be done, is just a lie. It is because too many are in the pockets of the drug and medical industries, getting their palms greased. It can be done, and will not cause any damage to the economy either. This Fund will pay for itself, and be sure that all those that do not have Medical coverage, or cannot afford it get it... This is one of the Best things for this Country, we are the only civilized nation in the world that does not have some kind of National Health Care system for its citizens, even Cuba has one. So think people, think and then let those out there Know that you want this, and want it before the end of 2008; it can be fully functional before the end of 2008. Do not let the politicians tell you it can't be done, it can...and don't let them get away with a proposal like Hillary Clinton, saying she will work on it, and have some kind of program in place within her first term. It can up and full functional and covering all those that want this total coverage well before the end of 2008. For all those that do not want this, like the rich people who think such a program is beneath them, they can still buy their own coverage from the Insuerance companies. Well that is about it, there will be more coming on other problems, like the Illegal alien problem, those stupid people in Washington, D.C. have absurd proposals, and will get nothing done. the fence, is also absurd, what we need is a solution , one that is fair, and easy to implement, and at the same time, does not take 10 yrs or more to fully become viable. Well thank you all once again, this is the Lone Wolf signing off. John M. Roberts once more, please forgive any typos, not the best typist.

A Poem by John M. Roberts-written over 30 yrs. ago

2007-12-19T11:37:00.000-06:00

Ok this poem is very somber, and is not the greatest for the season; unfortunately Our Idiot President got us into this unnecessary war, first due to Oil, then do to Halliburton and all it subsidiares, so Cheney, Bush, and 100's of War Mongers can make tons of money by putting our young military men in the 'line of Fire'. The title of this poem is...... "WAR AND KILLING" by John M. Roberts Why, I've often asked myself, must people fight and kill; Will they ever stop, or go on, till everything is destroyed and all life is still. Don't they ever stop to think, that by destruction and killing, nothing will they ever gain; No matter what they feel is a worthy cause, all that will be, is grief, suffering and pain. Fighting in the jungles, on the grassy plain, or on the sand; Nothing is worth so much, that it would cause the death of even one woman, child or man. No reason that man can give, can be reason enough for all this strife; For no reason is good enough, to wantonly take another life. To bathe the earth with blood,where man once toiled; Will forever be remembered for, from now until eternity, the earth with man's greed and hate, will be soiled. If man always lives by hate and makes others feel his wrath; He will destroy everything and everyone, that happens to cross his path. If he would only stop to think, long enough to realize; That no matter what he gains, it's really worthless, if any person dies. I beg of you to heed these words, before it is too late; To feel love, compassion, and cast away from your mind and hearts, all those feelings of malice, avarice and hate. If you choose to go on with your killing, because it's an urge you cannot deny; then I suggest, that all of you who want war, gather together and kill yourselves, so that on one else will have to die. Sorry, but I just had to get it out, I hope maybe some people will read, understand and act......NOW. thank you.

Some Poetry, not a reg. blog Enjoy

2007-12-19T10:49:00.000-06:00

I felt like taking a little break here, so instead of a regular blog, of which there will be more, here a a couple of poems I have written over the yrs. The first one is light, and for the season. it is called "The Night Before Christmas" by John M. Roberts It's the night before Christmas and all through the house; all the creatures are stirring, the kids, the dogs, even the mouse. We're still trying to get the kids in their beds, for the tenth time; With the wife in her nightgown, looking sexy and real fine. The Christmas tree is bright with tinsel, and the twinkling lights; With the ground covered with snow, my what beautiful sights. I hear one of the kids yell out, please get me a drink; So I get up once again, and head for the kitchen sink. They're finally quiet, and slowly falling asleep; 'Cause I told them Santa won't come, if he hears one little peep. So at last all is quiet, and being alone with my lady, sure is nice; 'Cause now is our chance, to have our own bit of Christmas, sugar and spice. Ok here is another one titled....."Another Blue Christmas by John M. Roberts It's Christmas time once more, but it doesn't feel like Christmas to me; For what is Christmas without loved ones gathered around the Christmas Tree. People are caught up in the frenzy, rushing to and fro; Yet all I'll be doing this Christmas is staying home, for I've no place to go. They'll be no Christmas gifts, wrapped in pretty paper and bows; For even though I'm sad and lonely, no one cares, and no one knows. Christmas is here, a special time for family and for friends; But for me, it'll be just a blue Christmas, for I suffer from loneliness, that never ends. I should be use to it by now, for I've been along for so long; For loneliness is an old companion, and over the years I've grown strong. So I don't cry anymore, but my heart is still filled with sorrow; Because nothing I can change seems to change it, and I'm sure, It'll still be the same.....tomorrow. Merry Christmas

Solutions-A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PLAN & MORE

2007-12-15T21:20:00.000-06:00

NOTE--REMEMBER THE CLINTON STUDY TO TRY AND IMPLEMENT A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PLAN THE FIRST YEAR THEY WERE IN OFFICE. HILLARY AND OVER 100 "EXPERTS" DID A
THREE MONTH STUDY, TO FIND A WAY TO IMPLEMENT THIS PLAN, THEY FAILED (actually it took 3 years, and still failure, because she tried to work with them, not tell them, this is the way it will be, as it has to be done. SO BEWARE OF THOSE THAT SAY IT CAN'T BE DONE, OR THAT THEY NEED TO DO A STUDY...THIS IS BUNK THE PLAN AS OUTLINED WILL WORK, AND THE FUNDING WILL BE THERE FOR IT THE KEY IS IN HAVING THE SHORTFALLS
COVERED, THEY WILL BE WITH THE FLAT TAX PLAN AS WELL AS SOC. SEC. BEING FUNDED FULLY ...Read on The Nat's Health Care should be paid for this way.
Everyone who signs up for the program, and I venture to say, that will be close to 143,000,000 people will pay 2% of their gross pay into the system, this is for adults, 2% add. for each child to be covered in the system. Average taxpayers will e in 'Regions, an Eastern, Central & Western region, to keep ,costs controlled & yet provide fair $$ to each region, since the costs vary; This.,same buying power"can be used all the way down the line, instead of. 1 CAT scan machine, the gov't , buys for the region, say 12 machines at a much reduced price. All these things are dropped shipped directly to the needed facility. This will save paperwork again... By the way, the Ins. companies can still make $ selling expensive Policies to the Rich, who do not want the Government Heath Care plan; and by using them regionally. to process health care claims" paying them a set price for each one they process., therefore not adding, this to the duties of the Government.In addition, there must be a GOVERNMENT MALPRACTICE INSURANCE PLAN implemented to control costs of Malpractice Ins. AU those that participate will pay greatly reduced premiums, and a maximum cap will be in place of $10,000,000'for any one person to receive, with any associated. legal costs' added to this (note this will be limited to a maximum of 10% of the amount awarded to the plaintiffs). This will help all those in the medical profession; and help keep them where they are needed, and in the medical fields. .It will be necessary to place any and all medical malpractice suits in a special database, and all those that are sued; , and if they are found guilty will be placed on probation, and careful watched and monitored for a year, before being reviewed to decide if they can be removed from their probationary,status. Oh by the way, get the troops out;, before 12/08, esp:the National Guard, they were never.trained for War. We free Iraq,and got rid Of Suddam,it is.up to them now stop the Billions wasted there,they have Millions in $,in Oil We can loan them dollars against the oil they send us the Oil, and we will send you the $$$. This is possible if guaranteed~against their oil reserves: In addition a WATCHDOG team of Reg. Americans, should be put into place to: Watch over Spending, ,to make sure,the Tax $$ are being spent the correct way, without waste; such as the waste & ripoffs in.the present Medicare.system, which, amounts to over 12 to 15 Billion each year minimum; In addition, there will have to be a National Works' Program Implemented;,to put those that-cant find jobs back to work;,and get the infrastructure of this country-totally back to the level.it Should.be' in all states', coast, to coast Another thing that needs to-be investigated is the. Lottery in all states, since these Were:suppose to take care of all. Education expense shortfalls.. Money..from the Casinos that- is taken in is enormous, for example, in the State Of Missouri, they supposedly paid over $239,000,000 in taxes;' I wonder where all this money-is really going, not into the programs as it should, I am sure. like Education, and Social Services it seems, The Homeless situation needs to be addressed on a federal level, I think too, since the states have seemed to continue to ignore this problem, for the ,past 25 or,30 years. It will be necessary to overhall the entire Social Service System also; Welfare as it is now, needs a lot of overhauling, this can be done by meeting With all the governors' at once, and implementing changes that will 'benefit those that is really.need it,at the time they need have idea sort this too~.,I hope you read and follow through with this.,The Politicians do not understand that couples that wish to live together in a "LEGAL" fashion; whether it is called marriage, or just a !'Legal Union;'whereby these couples have all the legal'"rights that,so called "normal" male/female couples ,have. The Federal Government has no business trying to regulate this kind of thing;. this infringes on personal. rights Protected, by' the constitution;
Give all those gay couples the right to Legal.Unions, so that that they have the,Protection under the law that the more conventional couples have. ,When we talk, about. national' security and we talk about unemployment, hammer on the fact that national security can be maximized AND the- issue ,unemployment can be resolved by rebuilding' American towns and cities. All the money,currently lathered on military spending could be-more then be well invested right here at home. There are so many important public improvements that cry for our attention ,and commitment from rebuilding roads, bridges; & railways to 'the erection of more mass transit systems; clinics,schools f and parks '... which takes lots of people and lots of hard work.lt's: how we.built this country;
and it's how you create jobs! Note: by rebuilding, the infrastructure of.America. American citizens al1 want a stronger economy; and by the way we are heading into a recession by spring of 2008; a better education and a much better health care system. We can stand up for ourselves against the challenges and oncoming external threats. The simplistic tactics of sending military troops in, a dangerous mentality fashion, especially since troops in this, so called
"war" are heavily populated with reservists who were, civilian parents torn ,from their spouses and children to fight this questionably urgent.military action; these troops are inadequately trained for this type of combat action. These are reservists., and National Guard,Troops should remain home, to ,Guard America, that is where they are needed,and should be used. We need 'a more intelligent, comprehensive, multifaceted{approach to~maximize national security that includes a plan to rebuild, strengthen. and maintain a strong America. If we can accomplish this we can then afford to be a strong ,international neighbor and friend to undeveloped countries. but let's do this with an example of how to achieve, and share the benefits of real freedom and democracy. In addition, somebody needs to question the Bush Administration regarding this; why didn't we destroy,the poppy fields in Afghanistan when we had the,chance?? Not only do these fields continue to' supply two thirds of the world's heroine, but they also, provide hundreds of millions.of dollars to the terrorists. I myself do not understand, why George W. Bush Jr. was not Impeached, for all his lying, and getting us into a totally unnecessary war. oh an interesting not: ( many have looked for the anti-Christ, with the sign of 666---well look at this---George 6 letters, Walker-6 letters, Bush Jr.-6 letters--- with all the damage he has caused to this country, including a 9 Trillion debt, maybe he is that one.?? IT IS, TIME THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAD A REAL VOICE IN THIS COUNTRY, IF, they did and were the one's really deciding what happens in this country, then we would have a true democracy, and not just a republic, ruled by the rich, for the rich. One that is truly governed by the People (the other 85%). The time to stand up is now, if you agree with my ideas, then vote for John Edwards, as President, and Obama, as vice president....this is I predict the winning ticket, and the choice of the Democratic Party. WHY SHOULD THE RICH ALWAYS BE THE ONES THAT CONTROL AND RULE THE GOVERNMENT, WHEN IT IS THE MAJORITY THAT SHOULD BE RULING. I ASK THAT ALL THOSE HARD WORKING AMERICANS THAT WANT CHANGE, CHANGE THAT WILL FINALLY BENEFIT THEM, CHANGE THAT WILL FINALLY GIVE THEM SOMETHING BACK ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, FOR ALL THE TAX MONIES THEY PAY INTO THE SYSTEM. IT IS THE AMERICAN WORKER THAT HAS MADE THE COMPANIES RICH, IT IS THE AMERICAN WORKER'S SWEAT THAT HAS MADE THESE PEOPLE RICH. Are those that make truly enormous amounts of money, like corporate CEO's, and t.v. stars, and sports stars, who make millions of dollars a year, going to starve because they are finally paying their fare share? One that is making say 12 million a year, are they going to say they can't live on the remaining money they have after paying their fare share of taxes? This person who would now have to pay less than 2 million dollars now in taxes, would they say they can't live on the remaining $10 Million; Yeah, my heart bleeds for you people. It is TIME THAT THESE PEOPLE START PAYING THEIR FARE SHARE, THEY GET RICH OFF THE BACKS OF THEIR WORKERS, FANS, ETC.; SO LET'S TELL THEM, TO START PAYING WHAT THEY SHOULD BE PAYING. Regarding companies that are not making the amount of money they think they should be making, and want to move their business overseas, which usually translates to Profit Margins; will have to be addressed. Any time an American company thinks they want to mover their operation overseas, this should be stopped immediately. From now on they will have to apply to the Federal Government, and state clearly their exact reasons why they feel they need to do this. Then the Federal Government, should send in a team, maybe two or three individuals who are specialists in computers and number crunching, to see what can be done to save costs. For example in most cases where there are a number of vice presidents receiving absurd salaries, these individuals should be terminated, the U.S. Government runs with only one President, and One Vice President; so any company could run the same way. Then continue and go from there, to see what else is a problem, then come up with solutions, to save these jobs.
There are always answers, usually relatively simple ones, that can be gleaned from using Common Sense, and Basic Intelligence; which the government, always seems to have a short supply of. ALL THOSE THAT AGREE WITH AT LEAST THE MAJORITY OF WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN HERE, SHOULD MAKE THEIR AGREEMENT KNOWN TO John Edwards and DEMOCRATIC PARTY WITH EMAILS AND LETTERS; AND ANY OTHER WAY THEY CAN. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY, OUR AMERICA, LET'S TAKE IT BACK, AND MAKE THIS COUNTRY GREAT AGAIN, MAKE IT THE COUNTRY THAT ALL OTHERS WILL ENVY, AND WANT TO EMULATE. LET'S ALL WORK TOGETHER, AND BE ONE ENTIRELY. LET'S GET AWAY FROM ALL THE INFIGHTING, AND LET'S RETURN TO THE WAY IT USE TO BE REGARDING ENGLISH AS THE PRINCIPAL LANGUAGE SPOKEN IS THIS COUNTRY. THIS IS NORTH AMERICA, IT WAS ALWAYS ENGLISH THAT WAS OUR LANGUAGE IN SCHOOLS, IN THE WORKPLACE, AND UNIFORMLY SPOKEN ACROSS AMERICA AS THE PRINCIPAL LANGUAGE- WE NEED TO RETURN TO THAT ONCE MORE. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS, NOT AFRICAN/AMERICAN, NOT SPANISH AMERICAN, NOT IRISH/AMERICAN, NOT A CHINESE/AMERICAN, NOT A GERMAN/AMERICAN..IF YOU WERE BORN HERE, OR BECAME A U.S. CITIZEN, THEN YOU ARE JUST AN "AMERICAN". . WITH NO ONE THINKING THEY ARE BETTER, WE ARE ALL "ONE", WE ARE ONE NATION UNDER GOD. Stop the fighting among ourselves, UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. We have the strength to be so much more, we have the money to be so much more, it is time that money was used to make this country, and it's people Great once more. SO LET'S ALL STAND TOGETHER, AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR AMERICAN, AND OURSELVES, LET'S ALL PULL TOGETHER, AND PAY OUR FARE SHARE TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY TRULY THE BEST IN THE WORLD.. REMEMBER THE ONES WHO REALLY NEED THE CARE, THE OLD FOLKS; OF WHICH WE ALL WILL BE SOMEDAY THE ONES IN NURSING HOMES, BEING UNDERFED, UNDER CARED FOR, MISTREATED, ABUSED IT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY FOR THESE PEOPLE TO SELL THEIR HOMES AND EVERYTHING, SO THEY CAN PLACE A PARENT, A HUSBAND OR WIFE, OR EVEN A CHILD, WHO REALLY NEEDS THIS KIND OF CARE TO GET IT THEY SHOULD GET IT, AND WILL GET IT, WITH THIS NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM. UNDER THIS NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM, ALL HOSPITALS, NURSING HOMES AND CLINICS WILL BE CHECKED EVERY 6 MOS. OR IF THEIR IS A MAJOR COMPLAINT AGAINST ANY HOSPITAL, OR NURSING HOME OR EVEN CLINICS. THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL HOTLINE IN PLACE THAT CLEARLY PUTS INFORMATION AT ANYONES FINGERTIPS REGARDING ANY DOCTOR OR OTHER HEALTH CARE WORKER WHO HAS HAD ANY CHARGES OF MALPRACTICE, OR SIMILAR CHARGES PLACED AGAINST THEM, THE OUTCOME, AND THEIR STANDING IN THE NATIONAL HEAL THE CARE PROGRAM AT ANY GIVEN TIME INCLUDING IF THEY ARE ON PROBATION, BEEN REINSTATED OR TOTALLY OUTLAWED FROM PRACTICING MEDICINE, NOT ONLY IN THE STATE WHERE THE CHARGES STARTED, BUT IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES; SO THEY CANNOT EVER AGAIN HURT ANYONE. RIGHT NOW, THIS INFORMATION IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, NOR IS IT READILY AVAILABLE EVEN TO ALL THOSE THAT NEED TO BE AWARE OF IT IN THE MEDICAL FIELD, OR TO THE AUTHORITIES. YOUR MEDICAL IDENTIFICATION CARD WILL HAVE ALL PERTINENT INFORMATION ON IT, BLOOD TYPE, ANY ALLERGIES, ANY MEDICAL PROBLEMS, ANY MAJOR HEALTH CONDITIONS, SUCH AS HAVING A PACEMAKER, DIABETES, OR OTHER LIFE THREATENING CONDITION, THAT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS NEED TO KNOW, BEFORE THEY PROVIDE ANY EMERGENCY TREATMENT. IT WILL ALSO HAVE A "KEY" TO ACCESS ALL YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS, WHICH CAN BE ACCESSED ONLY AFTER YOU SIGN A CONSENT FORM TO RELEASE THE REST OF YOUR PERSONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION THIS WILL HELP SAVE LIVES. ALSO ON THIS CARD WILL BE ANY CURRENT MEDICATIONS & DOSAGES ANY INDIVIDUAL IS TAKING, TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS WITH OVERDOSING, OR CONFLICTS WITH ANY MEDICATIONS THEY MAY BE ON; AGAIN SAVING MANY LIVES NOTE: CORPORATIONS HAVE
COMPLAINED FOR YEARS ABOUT THEIR MEDICAL INS. COVERAGE COSTS FOR
EMPLOYEES FOR. WELL WITH THE NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PLAN THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY PRIVATE INS. COMPANIES EXPENSIVE PREMIUMS. IF THEY SIGN UP WITH THE NATIONAL PLAN, THEY WILL ONLY HAVE TO PAY 2% OF THEIR NET PROFIT INTO THE SYSTEM, TO HELP COVER COSTS OF THIS NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM; A REDUCTION OF AT LEAST 10%to 30% OF THEIR PRESENT COSTS.
By the way this holds true for the National Health care Program too, their will be ONE UNIFORM FORM, WITH 5 COPIES built into it, that will be used Nationwide in all hospitals, clinics, and doctor offices nationwide.
This will cut down confusion, it will save trees, and make things a lot easier, and more economical too. This is just one cost cutting measure that will be implemented. My other proposal will be to have all doctors, all hospitals, all clinics fill out information sheets, that will contain information such as the costs they encountered the past year, what they paid for implements, all the things they purchased to do their job, and what they charged their patients for these things, and services. A detailed report of what they charge for the various services and surgeries they perform. A full detailed report from all hospitals as to what they paid for everything they use in the hospital, and what they charged for these same things, when billed to their patients and insurance companies. A full detailed report on salaries they paid to all of their employees, according to the position they have there. Then all this information will be fed into computers, to come up with the average charges they are paying and charging for all these things. Then the country will be divided into three regions, the East, the Midwest, and the West. Adjustments will be made for each region, and cost and charges for all services will be determined for all these services,based on that average in each region; so that we have a uniform service charge throughout the region. Once this has been done, under the National Health care Plan, these payments will be made according to the information we have determined for the "average" charges for each
service or procedure. This will help control costs, as will bulk buying for each region. Now one of the key issues will be controlling the prescription drug costs, this can easily be done by contacting the major drug manufactures, and telling them you want to have the exact costs involved with each and every drug the manufacture; this won't be hard, they will have these figures on hand already. Now after compiling this information, they will send in , and once again we put the computers to work, comparing the costs on each and every drug. We then contact the drug manufactures and tell them what we feel is a fair price for each drug they sell.
Now this will be for each drug company, who are in competition with each other. If they cooperate, we can split the buying amongst them, if not, then one company may very well get the bulk of that business; leaving the other drug company to find some other outlet for the sale of their drugs. In other words, we now will have a large membership, I would guess somewhere around 143,000,000 people that will sign up for the National Health care Plan; this gives us the strength to negotiate fair prices therefore we control the costs. Now in closing, I feel that if those who at first thought my ideas were unfair to them, that these same people think of the country as a whole, and think of what is good for the country as a whole, what is good for the American people, what is good for America. Are they going to say; they don't want to see a National Health care Plan, that they don't want to see deficit cut down to a non deficit situation (within 2 to 3 yrs), and start building a surplus again, within the first four years of a new administration? Are they going to say it would be wrong to start now, in rebuilding the country's infrastructure, to make sure all schools have the funding they need to provide the kind of education we should be providing to all who want it? Are they going to say, it is wrong to be part of the once again...GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD? The Republicans have put us so far into the deficit hole-( 9 Trillions dollars), it is unbelievable, and we as Americans, don't like being in the hole.. Give us the opportunity to make this country great again, give us the opportunity to put all Americans who want to work, to work as quickly as possible. Give us the opportunity to give the American People what they deserve--a true democracy, governed by the majority, a health care plan they can be proud of, a tax system that is finally fair for all. These things will give this country pride, it will give Americans more money to spend, and they will be paying taxes also, they will be able to feed and clothe their families better, to enjoy life in the U.S. better; they will once again feel worth and pride in themselves, and in this country, Then we can go to work on rebuilding the way other countries view us. We are not the World Leader, as we once were; we need to be again. I have thoughts on these things too, as to what we need to do regarding this. I IMPLORE ALL AMERICANS TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, IT IS FOR THE GOOD OF AMERICA, AND ALL AMERICANS. IT IS WHAT WILL BEGIN TO PUT THIS COUNTRY BACK ON TOP ONCE MORE. SO LET'S PULL TOGETHER AMERICA, THINK UNITY, THINK WHAT IS BEST FOR ALL. Let's not waste time, we need to make these changes effective before mid 2008. I know the rich people out there will hate this, but it is not just their Country, it is Ours, we built it, with sweat, hard work, and they got rich on all our backs. THANK YOU. John M. Roberts

The Broken Income Tax System, Needs Change

2007-11-28T14:03:00.000-06:00

Hi there everyone, the Lone Wolf here again, thought I would tackle the Federal Income Tax System, which favors the rich, and makes the working poor, pay too much. I have a system, which will speed the system up by at least 1000 percent, it will be environmentally friendly, will make it so easy for anyone to fill out their Income Tax form. That's right, I said Form, one, just one for everyone, one form, one page. think how simple it would be for anyone to fill out their taxes, everyone no matter what they make, would use the same form. So you are wondering, how will this form work for everyone; it allows only one kind of deduction, that is for members of the family. That is it, list your Total Income, now list your family members as deductions, and that is it; subtract the difference, then pay your taxes, which now will be on a graduating scale, based on total Income. This total income will include any renumerations given to that wage earner, for the rich folks,that would include stock options, boats, vacations, vacation homes etc. etc. Everything they are given, will be given a monetary value, and they will pay taxes on these too. Now you are asking what kind of Federal Income Tax Plan would make it so that the working poor, pay less, and the Rich pay a lot more, especially compared to what they are paying now. The plan I have in mind, would be a Flat Tax Plan, with a graduating scale depending on how much one makes. It would work like this.... The wage earners who make less than $100,000 a year would pay a Flat Tax of 10%, of their total Wages, that is the Gross. For example, a family making $45,000 would deduct for family members, say 4, at what $750 each, that would be a deduction of $3000, now deduct this from the $45,000, and taxes for this family would be $4200. The average family now is paying about 22 percent of their income, this would be $9900 before deductions; in the vast majority of cases, this would mean a reduction in taxes of at least 45%. Now for the Second step up.. those making $100.000 to $250,000 would pay 15 percent of their total Gross Income, all taxes are based on Gross,minus only the deduction for family members. The Third step now goes from $250,000 to $100,000,000 (that's One Million dollars), those in this catagory, will be paying 20 percent of their Gross, again deducting only for family members, no other deductions allowed... The final Stage, would be the last one, in this one all making over One Million Gross, this includes a lot of those big shot CEO's, and your sports stars, as well as movie stars, and big singing stars. They will pay 25 percent of their Gross Income. I know, they will have to give up one of their 3 homes, or maybe can't buy that bigger boat, or can't afford that $3000 a day hotels, or some other fineries...poor them. If you make Millions, then you can afford to pay a lot more, finally they will paying their Fair Share. They have been getting away with murder for too many years, now it is time to pay what they should really be paying. They make their big bucks off the back of the workers, most of them in the under the $100,000 catagory.. This new Tax System, will save thousands of Trees, we need a lof them. It will save thousands of hours of needless time, preparing those taxes. It will at the minimum, a savings of at least 10 Billion dollars, in costs associated with checking them, in Washington, D.C.; money that can be used for much better things, like social programs that have been cut, or eliminated. This money can also be used to bring down the deficit, or to replenish the depleted Social Security Fund. Now the loophole, that a lot of the rich will look for, will be closed, that is turning their Personal family into a Corporation, trying to avoid paying their fair share. Those that have not had such a thing in place for a least a year prior to the date of this new Tax System, will be out of luck; they will not be able to try and hide, by starting one now. There will be no other options, they will pay according to their Gross Income, and that is that. This new Tax System, will put enough money in the coffers, that there will be a Balanced Budget, and the Deficit will be gone, within two years, as well as more than enough money to Get the Social Security System back in the black till at least 2050. There will also be enought money to institute all needed social programs, for the poor, and the disadvantaged, Veterans, as well as the older population. In Addition, they need to change the cutoff point of $97,500 for those putting money into the Soc. Sec. System; all those making more, should continue paying into this system for the good of the general population, based only on how much money they make, with no cut-off point. Well folks, this will solve all the money problems, and get rid of the giant deficit that Georgie has left us, as well as finally making sure, that the Rich, really pay their Fair Share of the Federal Income Taxes. I think this same system, should be used in each and every state, for the State Income Taxes. Well that is it for me, John Roberts has given his solution to this one too....

Some thoughts regarding Global Warming, Solutions

2007-11-13T19:32:00.000-06:00

Hi once again, there has been a lot of talk about cleaning up the atmosphere, yet very little has been done about it, and there is a solution already available, that will eliminate at least 50% of polution, smog, and really make a dent quickly in cleaning up the air, especially in cites, mainly large cities of a million or more. This solution will also save at least 50% of our fuel, that is right we can save at least 50% of our oil, gas etc.... which should give us an abundance, bring oil and gas prices down drastically, and give our economy a great one great boost... You sit there wondering what could this miracle thing be...well let me tell you this, in 1997, GMC already tested, with real drivers, this wonderous thing....it was the Electic Car. Yes you are wondering is this true, well what happened to it...then? Let me tell you, they manufactured about 400 of them, it had one flaw at the time the batteries it was using only allowed a driving range of about 200 miles; of course this was still plenty for 95% of commuters. There was a better battery available, but Gm along with oil companies kept it quiet, by buying the company. This new battery, had a range of at least 600 miles, making it perfert for commuting, as well as most day trips.. So you are asking what happened, well first of all, see if you can find on showtime, or maybe on the net.. "Who Killed the Electric Car"? This gave the complete story, and in the end, even though the car looked sharp, could do highway speeds, and worked really well.... they tested it, in a limited capacity for aobut 2 yrs. They would only lease the car, and after the lease expired, they would not even allow these drivers of these cars (who by the way, were mostly celecbrities), to buy them. They recalled them all, and destroyed most of them.... Now you ask why, well this care needed no brakes, no oil changes, no oil filters, and of course no gasoline....so think , guess who was behind it all, the end of the Electric car, and all it could do. By the way, there were over 4000 people who signed up to get one, but they were all ignored. The reason GMC gave for the end of this wonderful car, there was not enough interest in it.. It was by the way, only marketed in California, and only through a few dealers. So there you have it people, once again Big Oil companies rule; they say there is a shortage, the rob us blind, by jacking up the gas prices, along with heating oil and propane. The shortages are caused by them, no new refineries have been built in the U.S. since the late 70's. Then when something appears that will suddenly put those enormouse Profit Margins of over 350 Billion dollars in a bind; they say Kill It, so it did die. The average driver drives about 340 miles a yr. in commuting back and forth to work, think of the savings in oil, think of the savings to the environment, think what the end of gas and oil shortages would mean to all of us. These cars could be subsidized by local city and county government, to help people buy them...the money they now spend on pollution controls of various types, could be used to help people buy these new Electric cars, which by the way, were no more than say a loaded Chevy Malibu. Well People, there you have it, what are you going to do about it? We have a quick fix, that will make a really dramatic difference to all our lives, and most important to our environment, especially around the cities. The technoligy is there, the car has been already designed and built...it is a reality...so where is it? This transition could be accomplished in less than 2 yrs, and it is the fastest most simple, cost effective way of saving at least 50% of our fuel, and cutting emissions by at least 50% almost immediately, at a very small cost to all of us.. Well once again, I have tried to educate you all, and give you something to think about, and something to do something about...so let's get going people, and let your local government officials know that you want this car, let the Federal government know you want this care, and you want it Now... Let's start getting things done., by letting them know, we the 85% of unappreciated Americans, who are constantly taken for granted, are tired of all the nonsense, and a goverment, that is for the rich, by the rich, and of the rich. It is time for the American people to start really letting Washington, and your state and local governments, that you want real change, and you want it now. Bye for now my fellow Americans. NOte: If you doubt something this ready can solve 60% of our fuel and pollution problems, then here are some facts. A 'new' car in one yr. emits over 15,200 lbs of carbon monoxide (responsible for many of global warming problems), also 420 lbs. of carbon monoxide ( a poison)-both responsible for many cases of sickness. On slow or stopped traffic, people are exposed to 10 times the amount of normal pollution, even with the air. cond. on.. We have over 120 million going to work every day, over 102 million, one to a car, what a waste. One way to solve this would be quadruple Monorail systems, built down the middle of each major highway,where the divider is. these could all be going one way, during peak commuter times, with easy platforms about 10 miles apart. Another thing would be to have easy access on the highway sides, commuter parking to make it much easier for car pooling. One days average use of gasoline in over 192,000,000 gals., that is just in the U.S.. Over 1.3 Trillion dollars spent on oil each yr., there had been over 25 million gals. of oil spilled since the 80's. The Electric car, which had been built and tested for over a yr. already, capable of hwy speeds and with the newest batteries, with a range of from 600 to 800 miles...just 1000 were built, and destroyed, after pressure from the Oil companies. At Least 3 other major car makers were also interested, and had prototypes, but with the end of the Chevy version, and the report there was no market, that ended that. So yo see, it is not that there are no solutions to our problems, it is just they-the Powers that be don't Want to have solutions, that would cut into their big profits. John Roberts a.k.a. The Lone Wolf..

Todays Post Nov. 13, 2007-Hillary for President?

2007-11-13T18:30:00.001-06:00

Hello once again, I happened to tell my wife about 6 mos. ago, that I thought the Democratic ticket for President and Vice President would be Edwards and O'Bama, not Hillary Clinton. My reasoning for this, is because I believe most Americans are tired of the "insiders", they want totally new blood, that has not been tainted by Washington politics. New Blood of Intelligence, strong leadership capabilities and probably most important, those that can forge new friends and alliances with all countries out there, that we have to deal with. A President who wants to talk first, not sabre rattle, then talk of war, long before anything else has really been tried... Under Bush we have come to the point of being perceived as "weak", the supposed stongest nation in the world, and we cannot even defeat a 2nd rate country like Iraq; I am sure all the world s very disapointed, and maybe laughing at us and of course at our idiot President, little George Bush, who sure showed Daddy...Oh by the way, did you know that back in spring of 2003 Iran, (check Frontline on PBS )offeered the U.S. a complete Peace Treaty, this is still when the Clerics were in charge, under the Komaini, who was the real leader back then still.... The U.S. totally ignored it, so that is what led to the way Iran thinks of us now, and why they have such a bad attitude towards us, that and of course the Iraqi War..... Ok back to Hillary, forget the fact that Hillary Clinton seems to be leading in the polls, I still believe she is two-faced, and will forget the "people", this is the other 85% of the population. she recently stated she would have a Nat'l Healthcare Plan of some kind in effect sometime during her first term.... Where have we heard this before? If you are paying attention, Hillary's last attempt involved over 300,000 pages of nonsense, because she tried to make Deals with all those involved, the Pharmcudical companies, the Insurance companies, and all others,; this is not the way to do it, you don't make 'deals' with them...you tell them, this is the way it is going to be....I will fully explain this later in another blog... A Nat'l Healthcare Care should be one of the 5 Top Priorities for the first year for our next president, and can be in effect in as little as 6 mos, and up to a full running program in under a year.. In another blog, I will explain My Healthcare Plan for the Nation, including how it will work, the approximate cost (under 300 Million); we have spent at least 1.6 Trillion on the War in Iraq so far, and this is believed to be conservative..... It always seems the administration cannot find the funds for such a program, or for the other over 150 programs that have either been cut, or eliminated....but they can always find the money for WARt...why is that? I also believe she is relying on Bill Clinton too much, who will really be President her or him? They will be so busy arguing, they won't really get anything done.... Think about it, and the odds of a Hillary actually being given the nomination, I think are less that 50%. We need a strong team, of intelligent men, who think with their minds first, who willlook out for the American "people" first, who know how to really negltiate, and get things done... Well enough of this for now, have something else to address, in next blog. Thanks John Roberts a.k.a. The Lone Wolf

Solutions to America's Problems-Ending the War in Iraq

2007-11-10T18:26:00.000-06:00

Ok getting back to some of the answers or solutions to the problems facing America, and our Presidental candidates today... Let's start with the war in Iraq, the war, that Bush and Cheney got us into for no good reason, Oil, is the reason. They thought, that they would take over the country, and be getting free Oil for their rich oil company friends, who of course would not pass on these savings to us... This was after all the lies about what a killer Saddam was, well Bush and Cheney are worse, they are reponsible for the deaths so far of over 3800 Americans, and over 13000 being maimed... for no good reason, all for Oil.... Of course they told us lots of lies, which were all made up, you notice Powell got out, as soon as he knew this was all; lies, did not want any more of it... To this day I am astounded, that Bush and Cheney have not beeen Impeached...plenty of reasons to do so. Well we are in so deep now, there is no easy way out, and they want I believe another 470 Billion dollars for the war in Irag for the coming year, are they insane? He vetoed a bill to fund child medical care, because they were asking for 45 Billion over the next 5 yrs, but that was too much to 'waste', as far as he was concerned, the war ok, spend it all. This administration has cut or eliminated over 200 social programs since being in office, but the war must go on....the alleged war on terror, what a fiasco, and what a lie.... They created this war, and the Terrorists are flocking too it, while the sucurity of this nation is in dire need of protection, that is does not have. Ok I am digressing again. Ok what to do to end the war in Irag... First off, every nation in the region, the entire middle east, that includes, Irag, Iran, Saudi Arabia, (where by the way, 15 of the 9/11 terrorists came from), Isreal, Syria, Turkey and all other nations in that region, have to send their Ambassadors to a High Summit meeting, to be held in the Middle East somewhere. Then they have to start using some common sense, first to end the war in Irag, then to try and settle all the differences in the Middle East, to work out the other problems facing the region... Ok, the big solution to the war is this, they have to come up with a working plan whereby all three major groups get roughly a third of Irag, making sure that each also gets approximately a third of the Oil revenue... This is the real reason they can't get peace there, they are all worried about losing land and oil revenue... Once that is agreed upon, it is up to the Ambassadors to come up with a new working government for Irag, helping to select leaders who will actually do what they should be doing, that is getting that country back to a more normal state, with a unified government, with representatives from each of the three new regional governments, that have been set up. Look at these new regions as simply 'state's, with their own government, and still with a National government, that they all have a voice in... Once this is done, a United Nations Peacekeeping force should be brought in, made up of mainly Middle Eastern persons, with each country in the region, sending troops that will make up this Peace Keeping Force, most of which will be Islamic, probably at least 60% to 70%. This way, there won't be any of the "infidels are trying to take over nonsense". We then can have a graduated pull out of all American Forces, and the token forces that are there with us, with say 1/2 within, 6 mos., this will give those countries time to put togeter the new Peacekeeping force, which should be about 1/2 the size of the exiisting forces there now... They will be there to help the locals protect business, and rebuilding, as well as the general populations, and of course each of the borders, to keep out any futher terroristss, and other undesirables, from infiltrating the country of Irag. The Peace Keeping Force, will also drive out all those that continue to try and stop the Peaceful movement, that the goverment, has agreed to; this of course is once again, to be done with the Irag Army, and Police helping, under the direction of the United Nations Peace Keeping Force. . Within a year, we can have all the American troops out of there, as well as all token allies... We will offer to assist in any way we can, but will not tell them what to do... Once we are gone, so is the excuse that the "Infidels", are trying to take over and run their country. This will allow time to get the New Government of Irag to get it all together, fine tune the agreement, and get the rebuilding in full gear...If they want Peace bad enough, then they should be the ones to obtain it.. We cannot give them Peace, as with all supposed revolutions, it is the People, who really decide, and the People who really make it happen, not the army.... In the meantime, till it is all settled, and the government is fully functional, the United Nations will impose sanctions, as well as guard the ports, to be sure the oil is safe going out of the harbors, which is their main money maker. We need an end to this senseless war, and really get on with the War on Terror, with the battle at home, of really making us safe here.... Getting those great Americans home so they can try to lead normal lives again, and not be fighting a war, that is not our war, and never was... We have enough battles to fight, right here at home, and now. I will be addressing a New Taxation Plan, that is totally fair to all, especially the working classes who make less that $100,000 a year. In addition I will outline a National Healthcare Plan that includes Prescriptions, how to make it work, and it will cover all who want it, at a very reasonable cost.... Possibly other things too....Well stay tuned for me my fellow Americans.... I may be a Lone Wolf on this, but we shall see... Aoo solutions are logical, and very easily implemented with the people behind them....

Solutions to America's Problems-continued

2007-11-10T18:22:00.000-06:00

Last night (1st week in Nov.) I watched the Democratic Presidential Debate, and I cannot figure out why it is so hard for even these candidates to come up with real answers and solutions to the problems facing America. It seems that all of them still don't want to really commit themselves, to givig us the answers to real questions, like, how to fix the healthcare crisis in this country, or the totally outdated Income Tax System, or the Irag war. Before I go on with my answers to these and other problems, let me take a moment to digress a bit... I am a 61 yr. old man, who remembers what it was like say back in the 60's and 70's. Bavk then just as it was in the 50's too, the average household only had one bread winner.... Back in the 60's and 70's most people owned a home, had a car, maybe two, or a small boat, had all the appliances, and a big t.v., or two. Mom was home to get the kids off to school, or to watch them, if they did not go to school yet. She was there to give them guidance, to make sure they were safe, and usually prepared supper for all. the husband, the breadwinner, would come home, and they would sit around the table, and have supper together, then usually would relax watching nice family shows, or maybe go out play some ball, or something similar.... Where have those days gone, and why? Back then, this country and the poeple in it, made all the things we needed and wanted. We manufactured, all the appliances, all the cars, all the clothes, all the shoes, all the toys, all of the things we allowed the companies to ship overseas, and the reason for this, I do not understand. We were told, it got to be too expensive, well we did it for over 190 yrs, just fine, we made all the stuff, and we could afford it to, and most of us, were doing just fine.... Oh occasionally, if we really wanted something quite expensive, like a new car, or a pool or something like that, dad would have to get a 2nd part-time job, for a while, or mom would get one.... but we all lived quite well, for middle Americans. Those days have gone, the way of most of the things we grew up with and learned... I remember myself for example, at the age of 20, buying my first brand new car, and paying cash for it, yes rathrer unusual, but I did it... The cost for this brand new 1967 Chevelle Malibu super sport with a 350 engine was only $3300 that included taxes . Now that same vehicle costs about 8 to 10 times that much.....and yet the minimum wage had only gone up about 3 times from back then.....Why is that? I think the answer is contained in one word....Greed. The greed of the American companies to get more profit out of their products. Except for the Automobile companies, which allowed their workers to be making far too much money for what they did, and also gave them fantastic benefits.....and not keeping up with the times, and making vehicles that could really compete with the imports, that were coming into this country, back in the 70's and 80's; well that was sheer stupidity. There is no excuse for what has happened to the rest of the Industry, and manufacturing that this country use to have, whick made better products, and reasonabley priced, that most of us could afford.....We stood by and allowed the big shots at the top of these companies to real fantastic profits, at the expense of the American worker, and we are all still paying for that today. Look at the airlines, gone is Pan American, the founding airline, gone is TWA, and others, why, there was no need for that, but poor management, and greed. Look what they did at American Airlines, and others, they gave wage cuts, to them, stole their benefits, and yet the one at the top get plenty of the cream anyway.. This is true throughout the business world, whether it is a profit or non profit business, the workers do not get a fair share, yet the guys at the top, make fantastic salaries, and get even more fantastic bonuses.....why is that?

Solutions to America's Problems

2007-11-10T18:13:00.000-06:00

HERE I AM ATTEMPTING TO ANSWER AND PROVIDE SOLUTIONS TO THE BIG PROBLEMS FACING AMERICA, WHICH NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH....WONDER WHY? I am 61 yrs. old, and have seen a lot over the years, most is quite disapointing. I will lay out my solutions to the biggest problems facing America today. Most are quite simple, all are logical, and can be implemented quite easily, if the People (that is the other 85% of the population), really want it. I will be adding to this blog, over the coming weeks, so stay tuned for each installment, and feel free to

Well it seems that old Hilliary Clinton, may get another chance to run her Health Care program, I heard today, that the old one, has over 3 million pages; what a waste... I will present mine, and it will take no more than a 1/2 dozen pages.... I jsut don't understand, why we can't have a President with some real guts.l Any one that wins the election, can achieve what they really want, what they promise, it all starts for real in the Firs full Nationwide address to the congress and the people. All he or she has to do, is clearly state what they want to do, intend to do, outlining that program, and how it will work...that he will present these items to Congress at the earlist possible date, officially, then give them 60 days to act on them... He will ask the American people to comment on his ideas and plans in the meantime also, and ask them to also write their congreessmen, and senators regarding their thoughts and ideas on what the President has presented to them. Then in 60 days he goes back to congress, and asks them what is the vote, on his plans....If it has been shown that the Ameriacan people support his ideas and plans, then he must have the guts to do the following if it has not been acted upon, and voted on yet. He goes back on the t.v., and clearly tells, the American people his ideas, his bills, his programs have not been acted upon, or were rejected by certain Congressmen and woman....and then Name them on the air, so that all the people know who are the ones, holding up what they Want... This way there will be immediate feedback from the people, and this time the 85% of the people that really matter in this country will really have a true Voice in their government.. and know who is preventing them from getting what the really Want... Of course like I say, it will take a lot of guts by the President to do this, but it will get immediate response, and I am sure also immediate results. BNy doing so, the President can get his idea, programs, solutions into law, and started in motion at least within his first 6 mos...and fully working within his first year..... He should do this each time he has made a promise, and his programs, idea, those that the people back, are made known to the People, so they are made aware of what is really going on, and finally really get things done..... Well enough for now...be back later with more... John M. Roberts
