Who Is Monitoring Government Spending

U.S. President Barack Obama

In light of the vast, unruly government spending, squandering and stealing of taxpayer money, numbering in the billions, exactly who is monitoring government spending. Whoever they are, they're doing a very poor job, with emphasis on the word "poor" as that is where this is headed. Where is the accountability in government Obama promised.

The Judiciary Report realizes a some of the waste and theft, did not occur under the Obama Administration, but as he is in office at the present time, he must give an accurate account for the people's money.

The State Of The U.S. Economy

U.S. President Barack Obama

The U.S. economy is in dire straits, as 15 million Americans are unemployed and 18.9 million homes are in foreclosure. The national deficit is set to hit $11 trillion dollars as well. These problems are compounded by the fact, there exists a terrible breed of corruption in government, stealing and squandering billions in taxpayer money.

It was reported today, $8.7 billion in taxpayer money designated for rebuilding Iraq, cannot be accounted for by the U.S. Pentagon, also known as stolen. The FBI has wasted close to $1 billion dollars on a failed computer system that is being deemed a failure, as it was announced this week, the remaining phases of the roll out have been scrapped.

The FBI's parent agency, the Justice Department, headed up by, Eric Holder, have also been accused of wasting huge sums of taxpayer money on trips, parties, arcading and skateboarding.

This year, President Obama's alleged job creation program was also an unmitigated disaster, as billions in taxpayer money was misappropriated and squandered by government officials (see: stolen). It bears the handprint of corruption.

Billions in U.S. taxpayer money is also being wasted on illegally spying on millions of Americans, in criminal violation of the Constitution, when that money could go to better things. However, President Obama, like Bush before him, has engaged in this misconduct as a continuation of illegal programs at the FBI, CIA and NSA.

The nation's finances are a mess. America is hemorrhaging money everywhere and it is adding up quite negatively. The government and bands of the corporate sector are deteriorating America - the same America they will have to live in. There is a crass phrase that states you don't defecate where you eat and that's exactly what the government is doing.

This unprecedented corruption is not conducive to prosperity. The American way of life is being destroyed and replaced with something unfavorable, laden with hardships. Prevalent misconduct, overspending and corruption in government is not funny or amusing, as it is building up to a serious financial calamity that will make 1929 and 2008 look like good fiscal years.

Side Bar: U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, has announced he plans to investigate and prosecute financial corruption in government in nations such as Africa. Open your eyes. You need to start in Washington, but you wouldn't lock up your own buddies, now would you. Furthermore, since when does your Congressional mandate extend into other sovereign nations you have no jurisdiction or authority in.

FBI's Sentinel Computer System Scrapped As A Failure

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

After four years of warnings from this website and sister site, The Sound Off Column, the FBI's computer system has been label a failure and write off, when it should not have happened this way. The remaining phases of the ill-fated Sentinel system, like the one before it, is being scrapped by the government.

In 2006, the Sound Off Column, repeatedly warned frequent site visitor, the FBI/DOJ, through a series of articles, that stretching out a computer system's creation and implementation plan would not work and years later, that's exactly what's happened.

Once again, that's your tax dollars up in smoke. Not to mention, over $150,000,000 of the computer system money is unaccounted for, also known as stolen. But don't think that will stop the FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller, from going into Congress again, demanding many millions more in tax dollars, to misappropriate and squander again.

For those of you wondering why Mueller is not in prison yet - he is a modern day Hoover, with so much illegal dirt on members of Congress and the White House, they don't want to put their own freedom in jeopardy. However, with the madness he has done that illegally extended into other countries, Congress is going to be faced with some very difficult choices in the future on an international level. In short, contrary to what he thinks, he hasn't gotten away with a single thing.

Computer Calamity

July 16, 2010 - The FBI shuts down a major computer upgrade—and the FBI director's legacy might take a hit as a result.

The FBI has (again) put the brakes on a multi-million dollar plan to fix its creaky computer systems. This will come as little surprise to those who've followed the G-Men's epic quest, and failure, to keep up in the Information Age, replacing their out-of-date computers with a system that can help agents better track criminals and terrorists. But the recent development could have major political consequences...

Now, the fallout. For starters, the Obama administration's budget team has already flagged Sentinel as one of the most troubled, poorly performing tech projects in the government. At a time of record deficits, the public is in no mood for stories of wasteful government spending. President Obama has seen his poll numbers plummet as voter anger over enormous spending of all kinds rises...

Watchdog: Obama Not Helping Homeowners

U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House with dog Bo

A Congressional watchdog has stated, President Barack Obama, has failed to help at-risk homeowners with the stimulus program that usurped $700 billion dollars of taxpayer money. Inspector General, Neil Barofsky, informed Congress during a hearing this month, that only a relatively small number of homeowners have been helped, making the program a failure. U.S. foreclosures have hit record highs this year, in activity very detrimental to the economy.

Government watchdogs: Obama failing to help at-risk homeowners

July 21, 2010; 12:55 PM ET - The Obama administration's efforts to aid at-risk homeowners in danger of foreclosure is not working and the Treasury Department shoulders some of the blame, the three government watchdogs for the $700 billion financial bailout told a Senate committee Wednesday.

Despite a seemingly ever increasing array of initiatives under the program that went into effect 15 months ago, the number of homeowners being helped "remains anemic," Special Inspector General Neil Barofsky testified before the Senate Finance Committee. It has "not put an appreciable dent in foreclosure filings."...

Obama Slams Republicans While On Vacation

Barack Obama

Never mind the economy is in the toilet, U.S. President Barack Obama is phoning home insults about rival Republicans, labeling them the party for the rich, whilst he vacations in a posh part of the American state, Maine. Clearly, the irony of that was lost on the President. Considering Obama is now rich as well, thanks to book and other deals, that dig didn't resonate as he intended it to do.

Obama has stated, the Republicans are holding back America's progress and he is right. But so are the Democrats. Congress as a whole, through poor oversight, inadequate policies and full-on corruption, brought America to this place.

Obama is killing that ice cream

So yes, the Republicans AND Democrats in Congress are to blame for holding back America's progress, not the American people, who work each weekday to pay their taxes, only for Congress to blow it on things the people do not approve of in the least.

Congress has exhibited no real control over the FBI and SEC, who are supposed to police and prosecute crimes in the financial sector. As a result, greedy financial criminals wreak havoc on the economy via ponzi schemes, bad mortgages, theft and very risky investments.

Obama Uses Taxpayer Money To Fund Abortion

Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama reneged on his promise not to use taxpayer money to fund abortions. It was announced today he has established a fund, using taxpayer money, to pay for abortions under his health care act.

The only way Obama's health care bill was able to pass months ago, was for the President to promise in writing, via an executive order, that funds would not be used to perform abortions. This treachery and deceit is appalling. More broken campaign promises from the Obama Administration.

Many citizens disapprove of such expenditures, as it goes against religious beliefs. People should have a say in how their tax dollars are spent, especially when it comes to matters that go against what so many believe.

Repealed

U.S. President Barack Obama

With all the bickering going on in Washington political circles, the Democratic Party is overlooking one thing. President Obama's plummeting approval ratings and the backlash growing against Democrats, due to wild overspending, dramatically increasing the national deficit, will make it easier for Republicans to gain headway in the elections, both mid-term and Presidential.

If, due to ongoing unwise choices, Obama is a one term President, once the Republicans are in office again, they will quickly move to repeal most of what he has done as Commander-In-Chief.

However, the extension of unemployment benefits for 1.3 million people should have been passed. The Republicans in the Senate should not have blocked this. It's not funny or fair that this matter has been derailed. You bailed out the banks with taxpayer money, but didn't bail out the people. This is not a good thing.

On the other side of the aisle, it is also not amusing that wasteful projects have received billions in taxpayer money, at President Obama's direction, when they are not a priority.

The moral of this story is the Democrats and Republicans need to work together and come up with real, lasting solutions to the problems facing America or it will be a waste of everyone's time, if things start getting repealed in a few years. The will of the people is not being followed and politicians in Congress are taking the populace for granted. This is not the time for that. Actually, there is no appropriate time for that...ever.

U.S. Unemployment Benefits Stalled

Congress

The U.S. Senate has refused to renew the unemployment benefits of 1.3 million people, which is a mistake. Taxpayers bailed out banks and other financial institutions, in addition to U.S. corporations, to the tune of billions. Now, when the taxpayers need the help, it is being denied. This is not right.

People could go lose their homes or end up homeless without the unemployment checks, they are depending on to get them through this rough time in U.S. history. This is not an area to be making cuts. Once again, the poor and middle class are being trampled in favor of the rich.

As the average American did not create the terrible financial crisis that continues to negatively impact the nation, they should not be made to pay the price for Corporate America's greed.

Side Bar: The public just may remember who voted against their unemployment benefits during mid-term elections. That's 1.3 million angry voters.

Democrats And Republicans Fighting Over Financial Reform

U.S. President Barack Obama

Yes, they're fighting again. This time over financial reform. The Democrats and Republicans in Congress, along with U.S. President, Barack Obama, cannot agree on financial reform for America.

There is no question it is need, as the country is in financial straits, faced with soaring deficits, job losses, foreclosures and bank collapse, but a suitable and agreeable plan has not been found.

They need to find one quickly and make sure it is ram packed with budget cuts and the elimination of fruitless, taxpayer wasting programs that only benefit politicians and the rich. Anything less will not contribute to an economic recovery. And everyone can agree, America needs to get out of the current financial quagmire breaking the nation.

Why Is Obama Shielding Halliburton

Have They Promised Him Something

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama, has been shielding Halliburton from public ridicule and responsibility in the Louisiana oil spill, shifting all the blame to BP, who contracted the former to drill and maintain a now broken well, in conjunction with Transocean, 5,000 feet below sea level.

Halliburton is filthy rich, with billions in cash and assets. The company earns $12 billion annually. The war in Iraq was fought for companies such as Halliburton, to gain a monopoly on Iraq oil.

Not only did they commandeer Iraqi oil, they were given billions in U.S. taxpayer money to rebuild Iraq, a country that should not have been blown up in the first place.

BP CEO, Tony Hayward, in the U.S. Congress

However, due to former Vice President Dick Cheney's greed, as a one-time employee of the company, who maintains lucrative financial ties to Halliburton, this madness took place, in collusion with George W. Bush, as the American people were lied to and duped. Bush admitted in an interview he thought "the oil would pay for the war" which is appalling.

Once again, in a terrible, unprecedented crisis that has damaged America, the name Halliburton has surfaced. People need to ask questions why. America has many great companies, but Halliburton has inflicted more damage on this nation than any in recent memory.

BP was forced into shelling out $20 billion dollars in a trust fund this week, regarding damage in Louisiana, when Halliburton is a major culprit in this environmental crisis, yet has gotten away relatively Scot free, as Obama tries to dismantle a foreign company, much to the offense of Britain, that outsourced work to America, an ally. Halliburton should have been made to pay as well.

Snooki Slams Obama

President Barack Obama

MTV "Jersey Shore" reality TV star, Snooki, has slammed U.S. President Barack Obama for putting a tax on tanning beds. She said Obama wants everyone to be pale and former Presidential candidate, John McCain would not have done that. McCain agrees with her. Obama's talking smack, because he's already brown (just kidding).

Snooki

What Snooki must understand is the government is broke and looking to raise money anyway it can. Not to mention, tanning beds are cancerous. It's safer to use a gentle tanning product that is applied to the skin to give a brown or golden glow.

Arizona Governor Changes Immigration Law

U.S. President Barack Obama's Department of Justice dropped the ball and the economy is paying a price for it

The Governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer, made change changes to the controversial Arizona immigration bill in America, hoping to pacify public outcry, that has gone international, while the Department of Justice, continues to waste time. The amendments only stipulate racial profiling is illegal, but that will not stop some from engaging in it, under the color of law enforcement.

When most people think of immigrants in America, they assume it is in reference to non-white people. Hispanics compose the largest number of immigrants to America and as a result, they will be unfairly targeted, via racial profiling in Arizona.

Numerous people, businesses and the state of California, have threatened a sweeping boycott of Arizona, in light of the inhumane immigration bill that violates the U.S. constitution.

Some of the features of the contemptible bill include, as mentioned previously, racial profiling, which will largely target Hispanics in the state of Arizona, whether they are legal or illegal immigrants, spontaneous searches demanding people produce proof of U.S. citizenship, in violation of the Fourth Amendment and six months incarceration if one is found to be in the United States unlawfully.

All lawmakers in Arizona have managed to do is give the state a bad name on a national and international level as human rights abusers, run up taxpayer tabs, via imprisoning illegal immigrants for 6 months, cut their statewide work force, damaged a number of local businesses relying on cost effective labor and removed massive sums of money from their state's coffers, by unjustly putting hard working illegal immigrants in prison, who were paying their way in America.

If you are an illegal, it is very hard to get benefits and live off the U.S. taxpayers. Therefore, you have to pay your way, feeding, clothing and housing yourself, by shopping at local supermarkets, eating at local restaurants, buying clothes from Arizona businesses and fuel from local gas stations.

That's money, which was going into the Arizona economy, while jobs many Americans do not want to do, such as working in the farming industry (picking produce in the fields all day), construction field (assisting on construction sites and handyman type jobs), the garment industry (sewing clothes several hours a day) and the hospitality and food service industries.

This bill was a terrible, ill-conceived idea that only stands to hurt Arizona and America. In closing, locking someone up for six months, because they were seeking a better life in another country, is appalling.

Obama Gives Wall Street A Stern Lecture

U.S. President Barack Obama gave Wall Street a stern lecture this morning, regarding corporate responsibility.
