Fond du Lac — Bob Lloyd is “Mr. Marine.”

He has tested, serviced and sold products made by Mercury Marine, the boat-engine maker that has called this city home for decades. He worked 24 years for the company and for the last 21 years has operated the Mr. Marine boat dealership.

So, Lloyd took notice when news began to surface this month that Mercury Marine might be looking to consolidate operations, either in Wisconsin or in Stillwater, Okla.

“It would be a devastating blow here; they’re the No. 1 employer in town,” Lloyd said, calculating the potential impact of Mercury choosing Oklahoma over Wisconsin.

The business climate in Wisconsin, due to State of Wisconsin socialist or what is called “progressive” spending programs, is deteriorating rapidly.  The Wisconsin State Assembly is moving Wisconsin toward socialist policies at lightning speed.    It must be obvious that the Democrats in charge are the worst offenders by far.  However, it should be noted that many, but not all, Republicans use smoke and mirrors to pretend they are for Freedom, Capitalism and Constitutional principles.

We The People have to work peacefully to restore the American Dream.  To start we can recall Gov. James Doyle, the ring leader of tax and spend, business and job killing budgets that has placed Wisconsin citizens  in grave economic harm.

We need to reign in State of Wisconsin Government spending and taxation, before the last business and person to leave has to be told where the light switch is and to lock the door.  We can either do nothing and lose businesses, jobs and our money through all manner of taxation or we can do something peacefully to turn this around.  But sitting and doing nothing while the State of Wisconsin politicians have their way with spending, policy and our taxes will only make it worse.

Pull out your checkbooks because all “the rich” combined have nowhere near this kind of money to steal from.  The only combined people who have this kind of money are the middle class blue collar worker.  The taxman acometh and soon. 

Can you imagine when they add the costs for Universal / National healthcare on top of this?  Also if they steal all the money from the businesses of the wealthy, who is going to employ everybody when they liquidate their companies to pay the taxes for these unfunded liabilities? 

Then to add to the Social Security and Medicare, ON TOP OF that shown below, TARP, TALF, BARF, The Stimulus packages, The Bailouts plus the general cost of the U.S. Government has to be paid for.   So the $59 TRILLION is not the total amount we are going to have to pay for in ADDITIONAL taxation.  From an infinite horizon perspective the Social Security and Medicare debacles are over $90 TRILLION Dollars as reported by the Washington Times on July 2nd 2007 in the op-ed pages.  So no matter how much you pay over the next decade +, in huge increases in your taxes, your posterity will be paying the same or more during the duration of their lifetimes.

By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY

Sens. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Pete Domenici, R-N.M., have introduced a bill to create a permanent commission to make recommendations on maintaining long-term financial stability for the Social Security and Medicare entitlement programs. The government recorded a $1.3 trillion loss last year, a USA TODAY analysis shows.

The loss reflects a continued deterioration in the finances of Social Security and government retirement programs for civil servants and military personnel. The loss — equal to $11,434 per household — is more than Americans paid in income taxes in 2006.

“We’re on an unsustainable path and doing a great disservice to future generations,” says Chris Chocola, a former Republican member of Congress from Indiana and corporate chief executive who is pushing for more accurate federal accounting.

Modern accounting requires that corporations, state governments and local governments count expenses immediately when a transaction occurs, even if the payment will be made later.

The federal government does not follow the rule, so promises for Social Security and Medicare don’t show up when the government reports its financial condition.

Bottom line: Taxpayers are now on the hook for a record $59.1 trillion in liabilities, a 2.3% increase from 2006. That amount is equal to $516,348 for every U.S. household. By comparison, U.S. households owe an average of $112,043 for mortgages, car loans, credit cards and all other debt combined.

	The cost per U.S. household of unfunded promises made by federal, state and local government: Medicare $255,280 Social Security $144,251 Federal debt $43,380 Military benefits $25,863 State and local debt $17,537 Federal civil- servant benefits $14,374 State and local retiree benefits $13,114 Other federal obligations $2,548 Total $516,348 Source: USA TODAY research; numbers rounded

Unfunded promises made for Medicare, Social Security and federal retirement programs account for 85% of taxpayer liabilities. State and local government retirement plans account for much of the rest.

This hidden debt is the amount taxpayers would have to pay immediately to cover government’s financial obligations. Like a mortgage, it will cost more to repay the debt over time. Every U.S. household would have to pay about $31,000 a year to do so in 75 years.

The Financial Accounting Standards Advisory Board, which sets federal accounting standards, is considering requiring the government to adopt accounting rules similar to those for corporations. The change would move Social Security and Medicare onto the government’s income statement and balance sheet, instead of keeping them separate.

The White House and the Congressional Budget Office oppose the change, arguing that the programs are not true liabilities because government can cancel or cut them.

Chad Stone, chief economist at the liberal Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, says it can be misleading to focus on the government’s unfunded liabilities because Medicare’s financial problems overwhelm the analysis.

“There is a shortfall in Medicare and Medicaid that is potentially explosive, but that is related to overall trends in health care spending,” he says.

Automobile Insurance Gets Worse in Conference Committee Budget

Drivers from Northeast Wisconsin to Subsidize Milwaukee

Yesterday, the Senate passed a budget that was approved by a Conference Committee on a 17 to 15 vote with your senator, Dave Hansen voting in favor.  A Conference Committee is a panel of legislators formed to iron out differences between the Senate and Assembly when they pass different budgets.  The budget that came out of that committee raises taxes over $2 billion, property taxes an additional $1.5 billion, and increases government spending by nearly 7 percent.  As well, there are non-fiscal policy provisions that changed in this budget compared to the Senate and Assembly versions, including those dealing with automobile insurance.  This change is very important for Northeast Wisconsin drivers who, if it is enacted into law, will be paying higher insurance rates to subsidize high risk drivers in areas like Milwaukee.

In the Conference Committee budget Wisconsin automobile insurance policies would have the highest mandatory minimums in the nation and drivers would be required by law to hold insurance.  This would force drivers to pay higher premiums in order to keep from breaking the law.  The budget also included a hidden line that will force good drivers to subsidize higher risk drivers.  In the Conference Committee bill, insurance providers would be banned from taking into consideration where an individual lives when they set premiums.  In effect, this would force drivers from Oconto, Marinette, and Brown Counties to pay higher premiums to subsidize urban areas like Milwaukee where vehicle theft and collision are more prevalent. 

If this provision passes, Wisconsin would be the only state in the nation to have a complete ban on the use of territorial ratings.  A similar change was recently defeated in Connecticut and Michigan because of the added cost it would force on drivers.  Under the changes in the original budget proposed by the Governor, insurance rates were expected to go up 33 to 43 percent for drivers in Wisconsin.  With the Conference Committee addition, rates will go up even more and these added costs will disproportionately fall on Northeast Wisconsin drivers with clean driving records.

Current automobile insurance requirements in Wisconsin are sufficient to cover over 90 percent of all auto collision claims and without mandating automobile insurance, the percent of uninsured drivers in Wisconsin is in line with the national average.  By increasing the cost of auto insurance the percentage of uninsured will surely rise.  

The Conference Committee budget is expected to be voted on in the Assembly this evening.  No amendments can be offered to a Conference Committee budget.  If it passes the Assembly, it moves to the Governor for signing.

Folks,

We here at WIN (Wisconsin Interests Now) are working to www.RecallDoyle.com to STOP these sorts of devistating effects on our State of Wisconsin economy, jobs, businesses, earnings, freedom and our individual rights.  The Socialist / Communist tyrannts, headed by none other than Diamond Spendthrift WEAC Union Doyle, have to be stopped.  Look at the report above that clearly shows you how much MORE they are going to be taxing us.  The report above doesn’t even fully tell you about numerous other taxes and fees that you are going to be hit with for just daily living transactions of various sorts. 

See: The Roth S.O.S. Report for all sorts of taxes and fees that we are going to have to pay.

Did you notice, above, that the State of Wisconsin actually INCREASED the budget?  Did you know that the State of Wisconsin deficit is TWICE that of California on a per capita basis?  But yet they increase the size of the budget?  On a per capita basis this means that our taxes and fees are going to have to increase twice as much as the poor people of California. 

If you want to STOP these sorts of MASSIVE increases WE HAVE TO www.RecallDoyle.com.  Sign up to become a volunteer to get fifty signatures on the RECALL DOYLE petition.  This whole thing is starting to stink!  And, we need to flush the Doyle-lett before Wisconsin stinks so bad we are all forced to leave just for our family’s survival from the spending and taxation stench.

Sign up as a volunteer to Recall Doyle at www.RecallDoyle.com TODAY!  It is financial survival for our families.

Fellow Countrymen:

You have to STOP THIS.  This bill is not only the BIGGEST tax increase in the history of our country, as well as the most business crushing oppressive bill to ever be legislated, it is also the biggest usurpation of our Freedom and rights ever stolen by the U.S. Government.  If you, each one of you, let this happen, it will be your own fault for not acting like responsible adults and ensuring that the Federal Government obey the “Enumerated” Powers that We The People authorized to them.  We did not authorize them to steal our money or our unalienable rights.

If this passes, mark my words, there will be no choice but to war, if we ever want our freedom, liberties, rights, earnings and personal property rights back.  So if you want to restore our rights anf freedom peacefully, you have to stop this bill by writing and calling all your U.S. Congressional Representatives.  Please let’s get this done PEACEFULLY.  Total tyranny and oppression under these despots in Congress and the Administration is NOT an option for us or our posterity.   This bill will, without question, push America into a really severe Depression, the likes of which will make the Great Depression look like a cake walk.  Yes this was going to happen anyway, but the Democrats have just pushed the petal to the metal with the car headed right toward the cliff.  The problem with this is, when We The People restore our power, rights and keep our earnings, from any Government, it will take far longer to recover and get the energy harvesting assets out where we need them to produce the energy we will need to pull up our lives from the muck of the “hybrid” of Socialism, Communism and Fascism. 

I guess there is one good thing about this bill, it will greatly excelerate the collapse of “The MATRIX“.  

 

If this bill really passes, we have our mission cut out for us:  We are at War with the most Dangerous Enemy That Has EVER Faced Mankind - - Capt. Karl

Look at this and consider the future

Do Something Now!

House Democrats narrowly won a key test vote Friday on sweeping legislation to combat global warming and usher in a new era of cleaner energy. Republicans said the bill included “the largest tax increase in American history.”

The vote was 217-205 to advance the White House-backed legislation to the floor, and 30 Democrats defected, a reflection of the controversy the bill sparked.

The legislation would impose limits for the first time on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas pollution from power plants, factories and refineries. It also would force a shift from coal and other fossil fuels to renewable and more efficient forms of energy. Supporters and opponents agreed the result would be higher energy costs, but disagreed widely on the impact on consumers.

President Obama has made the measure a top priority of his first year in office. The president, along with White House aides and House Democratic leaders, scrambled for the votes to assure passage. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has pledged to get the legislation passed before lawmakers leave on their July 4 vacation.

The Senate has yet to act on the measure, and a major struggle is expected.

In the House, the bill’s fate depended on the decisions of a few dozen fence-sitting Democrats, mainly conservatives and moderates from contested districts who feared the political ramifications of siding with the White House and their leadership on the measure.

Democrats left little or nothing to chance. Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif., confirmed by the Senate on Thursday to an administration post, put off her resignation from Congress until after the final vote on the climate change bill.

“The bill contains provisions to protect consumers, keep costs low, help sensitive industries transition to a clean energy economy and promote domestic emission reduction efforts,” the White House in a statement of support for the legislation.

Republicans saw it differently.

This “amounts to the largest tax increase in American history under the guise of climate change,” said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind.

While the bill would impose a “cap-and-trade” system that would force higher energy costs, Republicans for weeks have branded it an energy tax on every American.

But Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., said there was a “moral imperative to be good stewards of the earth.”

The legislation, totaling about 1,200 pages, would require the U.S. to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent from 2005 levels by 2020 and about 80 percent by the next century.

U.S. carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels are rising at about 1 percent a year and are predicted to continue increasing without mandatory caps.

Under the bill, the government would limit heat-trapping pollution from factories, refineries and power plants. It would distribute pollution allowances that could be bought and sold, depending on whether a facility exceeds the cap or makes greater pollution cuts than are required.

Obama on Thursday called it “a vote of historic proportions … that will open the door to a clean energy economy” and green jobs. “It will create millions of new jobs,” Pelosi insisted.

Both Obama and Pelosi preferred to focus on the economic issues rather than on what environmentalists view as the urgency of reducing carbon emissions blamed for global warming.

The Rust Belt coal-state Democrats who have been sitting on the fence worry about how to explain their vote for higher energy prices to people back home — and how the vote might play out in elections next year.

Republicans have been quick to exploit those concerns.

“Democratic leaders are poised to march many moderate Democrats over a cliff … by forcing them to vote for a national energy tax that is unpopular throughout the heartland,” Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio said.

There was widespread agreement that under this cap-and-trade system, the cost of energy would almost certainly increase. But Democrats argued that much of the impact on taxpayers would be offset by other provisions in the bill. Low-income consumers would qualify for credits and rebates to cushion the impact on their energy bills.

Two reports issued this week — one from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and the other from the Environmental Protection Agency — seemed to support that argument.

The CBO analysis estimated that the bill would cost an average household $175 a year; the EPA put it at between $80 and $110 a year.

Republicans questioned the validity of the CBO study and noted that even that analysis showed actual energy production costs increasing $770 per household. Industry groups have cited other studies showing much higher cost to the economy and to individuals.

 

Perhaps you don’t believe any of the above?  Well perhaps you will believe President Barack Obama telling you that his bill, the Waxman-Markey Climate bill will “necessarily cause energy prices to SKYROCKET”.  My God, people, you have the power because you still have a little bit of freedom left; DON’T Squander it!  STOP THIS BILL flood the telephone banks at the Capitol.  RISE UP and MARCH on Washington D.C. ! ! ! ! ! !  Don’t you realize your lives are at stake?  What are you going to do when you can’t afford heat, light or electricity?  If you don’t care about yourself, how about your children and grandchildren? 

Listen to Barack Obama as he tell us what he has in store for us Americans:

MY  GOD  PEOPLE,  DO  SOMETHING  - -  We are at war with the most Dangerous Enemy that has ever faced mankind in his long climb from the swamp to the stars. That enemy are the despotic usurping tyrants in the U.S. Government.  Stand up and be counted BEFORE they take that right away from us too along with being able to afford electricity and heat.

 

YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO TIME LEFT !  You must do something RIGHT NOW!  They are about to vote on the Waxman-Markey bill THIS EVENING!

 Do you really believe the balderdash about Global Warming and/or Climate change?  If so, you need to read all of the Scientific articles and information here> Waxman-Markey bill, Voted on Tommorrow, Will Wipe You and Nation Out Financially

Grothman Begs Democrats to Wait and Vote On

Compromise in Daylight

Today Senator Grothman (R-West Bend) asked Senate Democrats to delay the vote on their budget compromise, which was unveiled at 8:30 pm on Thursday night. Even Senate Democrats not in the privileged secret negotiating room, had no idea what these provisions were. A quick perusal indicates a complete turnover of the mediation arbitration provision to the teachers’ union position.

“The only possible reason to vote for the budget so late at night was to prevent school district administers and school board members from calling Senate Democrats like Kathleen Vinehout, Pat Kreitlow and John Lehman and telling them what a disaster this budget is,” said Grothman.

Several superintendents had been pleased the Senate Democrats had added language forcing arbitrators to take into account funding limitations and not take into account fund balances in determining arbitration awards.

“Removing this language invites massive teacher salary increases and removal of extra curricular activities and other programs to pay for them. It is not clear as of 9:30 p.m. what other special interest groups have run amuck; before the press corps could alert the public to the damage,” stated Grothman.

Help us prevent a costly energy proposal from becoming law!

The U.S. House of Representatives may vote this Friday on the “American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009” (the Waxman-Markey bill).  We need the many voices of the Partnership for America’s Energy Security to write and call your legislators, urging them to oppose this harmful and misguided legislation.

Addressing climate change is an important issue, and the U.S. oil and natural gas industry has made substantial commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.  The industry supports balanced legislation to reduce greenhouse gases and replace the patchwork of state and federal regulatory programs, but the Waxman-Markey bill is not the answer.  This hastily drafted legislation would:

• Significantly increase consumer and business costs for gasoline and other fuels;
• Hurt American refiners—costing U.S. jobs and impeding our nation’s ability to produce energy domestically;
• Discourage domestic development of clean-burning natural gas.

We ask that you take two immediate actions:

• Call your U.S. Representative and urge him or her to vote “NO” on the Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security Act
  Just call 877-354-7783 toll free, enter your PIN—10456—listen to the brief instructions, and you will be patched through to your U.S. Representative’s office automatically.
• Send an email to your U.S. Representative urging him or her to vote “NO” on the Waxman-Markey bill
  Visit the Partnership website to send an email.  It takes just a few minutes to participate.

Our nation needs sensible energy policies that meet economic and environmental needs—without giving advantages to foreign competitors or costing U.S. jobs. Unfortunately, the Waxman-Markey bill will cause new problems without solving our nation’s energy needs.

Remember—your voice is a vital part of our nation’s discussion about energy. Please take action on this issue today. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Bill Rozett
Executive Director
Partnership for America’s Energy Security

Karl

We The People of The State of Wisconsin MUST www.RecallDoyle.com !  There is NO time left!  Businesses are and have been leaving Wisconsin.  We are losing everything to the likes of Gov. Doyle and his Socialist, Communist, Fascist minions.  Too harsh a statement you say?  Well,,,  is, it,  true?

The Wisconsin deficit, per capita, is DOUBLE California’s.  Wisconsin is going to HAVE TO raise taxes and fees double what California is going to do to their taxpayers and businesses.  If WE THE PEOPLE don’t www.RecallDoyle.com ASAP, we only have ourselve to blame and we have nobody but that person in the mirror to blame.  The www.RecallDoyle.com people are doing everything they can to put a stop to this NOW!  It might be too late to stop Mercury Marine from leaving Fond du Lac, WI but what about other companies like Oshkosh Truck and hundreds more? 

A question we need to ask anybody who says; “This is recall Doyle campaign is stupid and a waste of time and money.  Wait for the election, it’s only a year + away.”  It has to be getting obvious for anybody who has any minimal electrical current traveling through their synopsis that HOW THE HELL CAN WE wait for a year?  Look at the financial devastation to our ENTIRE STATE of Wisconsin!  Now even Mercury Marine is considering leaving from Fond du Lac, WI ! !  How many more companies have to go before the idiots in the media cease the INSANE blackout of our RECALL of DOYLE?  Don’t they care about the people of Wisconsin at all?  Don’t they think that the people ought to have the right to know that we can do something about DOYLE NOW?  How much more damage are we going to allow him and his minions of Socialism, Communism and Fascism do to our State?  What will ANOTHER YEAR like the last one bring?  Isn’t our financial situation INSANE enough?  Aren’t we and our small and large businesses TAXED ENOUGH YET?  How much longer can we stand this beating? -  Is the answer we need to reply with!

Maybe if We The People of Wisconsin promise to www.RecallDoyle.com Mercury Marine might stay?  You have to admit, it sure would be a great negotiating point of prime importance to the company and its owners / stockholders and its creditors in terms of corporate savings (and therefore hopefully earnings) of ADDITIONAL taxation coming down the pike.  Think of the relief to know that Doyle and his sick and distorted WEAC, State union and all union and spend, spend, spend taxpayer and business taxes type mentality wouldn’t have to be dealt with anymore.  What if we could prove that We The People of Wisconsin mean BUSINESS and we get RID of Doyle (first(!) and have an eye on who next)?  Perhaps companies like Mercury Marine might be persuaded to stay.  I see this now as “SURVIVAL MODE” for the individual people and families of Wisconsin.  Just for the very first time, a week ago, I talked seriously about moving out of Wisconsin with my wife because of the size of the State of Wisconsin budget and the taxes that are coming down the pike, as well as the fact that The State of Wisconsin is going to have to go after businesses as well to support Doyle’s spending habit.  Who doesn’t know that the vast majority of companies, here in Wisconsin, don’t see that coming?  Who’s next, Oshkosh Truck?   We The People of Wisconsin have to PROVE to companies that WE are not going to let Doyle do this to them anymore!  If we don’t prove to the rest of our industries that we can handle Gov. Doyle for them, we are doomed!

Mercury Marine is the global leader in marine propulsion sales. It is the largest division of Brunswick Corporation with over 6,000 employees. Mercury’s headquarters is located in Fond du Lac, WI with operations in Stillwater, Okla.; St. Cloud, Fla.; Juarez, Mexico; Petit-Rechain, Belgium; and other international locations.

Perhaps we should send some WIN (Wisconsin Interests Now) people up to Fond du Lac?  The loss of Mercury Marine would/will be a huge hit for this town.  The business impact across the spectrum, losing Mercury Marine for heaven sake, would/will be devastating.  Mercury has been in Fond du Lac for as long as I can remember, like from when I was 5 years old when my father and I drove past the immense plant. It is a landmark along side of the highway for as long as I can remember, even before it was a freeway.

How much longer can we AFFORD to wait to get rid of Doyle?  I’m afraid of what he can do to us taxpayers, employees and businessmen in five minutes, let alone another year.
