  Several days ago, our site made an offer for anyone to write a letter to Congress and we deliver the letter. The IRS Scandal  is an opportunity to provide your voice to the government when an unbiased agency used power to intimidate a segment of our society no matter the negative feelings are against the groups targeted. Little response has been received. I hope as Americans that we have not become numb to corruption in government. It robs our freedom and democratic process of individual thought in this country. My letter will be sent, and we can provide any assistance needed in not what to say, but construct a letter to Congress....Please contact us....This is important for you and this country.....     ============================================ The writing of a letter by hand or electronically to an official in power can seem like a daunting task.

The Deep Hate in Washington leads to the IRS targeting groups such as Tea Party

May 19, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Reuters is reporting today that former acting Commissioner Steven Miller would not release any other IRS employees who were involved in the scandal that is rocking Washington. The ideological hate would make the Tea Party as a helpless victim of many conservative groups being targeted and unfairly being required to provide documents and information to obtain non-profit status by the IRS. One employee being deemed as the ring leader of the IRS targeting conservative groups is Sandra Hall Ingram as she was the leader for the department handling non-profit requests when this scandal began. She is now the IRS leader over Obamacare, and she has not been required to answer questions or was she named by former commissioner in Friday's hearings on Capitol Hill.  Sandra Hall Ingram has been deemed as a strong ideologue in a department that is necessary to be unbiased in all actions of the agency. Steven Miller is going to protect employees that are endangering our democracy and Ms. Ingram is … [Read more...]

Washington’s gridlock is not stopping the recovery from the private sector or underground economy

May 13, 2013 By Leave a Comment
20130513-113324.jpg

The sequestration is rippling through the economy, and Washington seems unwilling to do their job and place certainty back into the economy. The Washington paralysis has not stopped the economic recovery taking shape even though the contributing factors to the recovery are atypical in a developed nation such as the United States. The private sector is pulling the slack and some from the drag of sequestration, and that is normal part of the economic model. However, the $2 Trillion dollar shadow economy as reported in USA Today is the underpinning or support for the economy for work and services being completed paid by cash with no taxes being paid. This phenomenon is a result of a poor job market and people willing to work in different jobs being paid cash under the table. Government spending cuts are being offset by the boom in the housing market and consumer spending. The unemployment rate was 7.5% in April. The unemployed are taking advantage of the underground or shadow economy … [Read more...]

Forget Europe: America debt crisis will become a stranglehold in 2013

February 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Europe was the center of the debt crisis in 2012, but America will be the epic story of debt crisis in 2013. The Fiscal Cliff resolution began a major global shift in focus about the political capability of Washington to address spending or any real debt reduction policies to address issues including entitlements. The final deal was only to deflect the massive tax increases as the extension on the Bush Era Tax Cuts were set to expire at the end of 2012. No spending measures were touched, and the actual deal will add trillions of debt over the next few years. The second item to shift focus was the short term debt limit increase to align with the upcoming sequester fight that Republicans could battle both together. A 105 day debt limit increased was passed by Congress this past week. The third item was the negative reduction in GDP in the 4th Quarter of 2012 as the expansion went into a contraction because of the financial stalemate over the Fiscal Cliff in Congress at the end of the … [Read more...]

Credit union faces lost opportunity as election nears

September 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment
20120909-082703.jpg

  The credit union industry has legislation in Congress to increase the lending caps on business loans up to 27.5% of assets. The credit union is not a perfect entity, but they would be flexible via the increase in the lending caps to be a competitor to the commercial banking market who has a new core business model that does not include making consumer or business loans in the communities. The credit union could fill the gap to provide the necessary credit for small business owners to obtain the financing needed to expand and create jobs, but the uncertainty in the political arena and confidence in the banking system is killing the organic growth needed to help restore a real recovery to the economy.   A full disclosure, my professional experience has been in commercial banking and the credit union industry. My forte is commercial and consumer lending, and I realize the current needs in the marketplace. I am in shock the leadership of the credit union … [Read more...]

Some countries, including Russia, India, China and Brazil, had made private pledges, she said, but did not want to make public commitments until they had conferred with officials back home. Lagarde said the fundraising was a "huge effort" to … [Read more...]

Friday Finance: America believes debt does not matter

America leadership debacle over debt has damage instead of default in the aftermath. 12:24 AM Posted by Donny Wise - EMPOWER4U   The political leadership use of default in the negotiations to find compromise on increasing America's debt ceiling was the worst case scenario in becoming a reality in lieu of stalemate in political negotiations. The resolve did come at the last moment to avoid default on American debt, but the resolution did avoid default but damage to the American economy was extensive and grave to the public witness in America and overseas that a debt limit increase almost led to a default. The political capability to make the entitlement and taxation changes to restore fiscal balance to America's finances has a zero chance in Congress before default does happen in the United States. The posturing of ideology is a higher priority than the survival of the American Republic as the drug of power brings delusions of grandeur and omnipotence when humans … [Read more...]
