Washington – House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Tuesday that the policies pursued by the Obama administration and by congressional Democrats are “inspiring confidence” in the nation’s economy. She said the troubled economy would soon reverse itself as government policy takes effect.

Provide financial support to historically
black colleges and universities

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Reps. Barbara Lee &Jim Clyburn


Challenging financial times such as these require difficult funding choices. That is why the Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) have seized the mantle of leadership and provided financial support in recent spending bills for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and primarily black institutions (PBIs). The FY2010 enacted budget included $85 million in funding, and the FY2011 Continuing Resolution (CR) included a similar level of funding. And even as our nation faced its worst recession since the Great Depression, the CBC pressed President Obama to include comparable prior year funding in his FY2012 budget request.

Money to help poor people buys
furniture for Detroit department

Detroit Free Press, by Steve Neavling


A Detroit nonprofit that received a no-bid, $1.2-million contract from the city to provide services to low-income people misspent $200,000 on furniture that ended up in city offices, the Free Press has learned. The Human Services Department issued the contract last year to Clark & Associates exclusively to pay its employees to assist with the city's food and clothing assistance programs. But records obtained by the Free Press show the nonprofit spent $210,344 of the contract on furniture that is now at the Human Services Department's office at 5031 Grandy.

Is anyone really surprised by these people?

Cook County assessor gave daughter a $10,000 pay raise
Chicago Sun-Times


Even as he makes cuts elsewhere, Cook County Assessor Joe Berrios gave his daughter a promotion and $10,000 raise.

And Berrios sees no need to apologize for that.

“She knows the job,” Berrios, who was elected last November, says of his daughter, Vanessa Berrios, who has worked in the assessor’s office since 1999. “We took her out of her old title and put her into a new title.”

After he was sworn in as assessor in December, Berrios promoted his daughter from a job as an analyst examining valuation appeals of industrial and commercial properties to the post of chief industrial appraiser. In that job, she oversees analysts’ work.

With the new title, her pay went from $58,344.00 to $68,288.48, according to county payroll records.

Ex-NY gov won't be charged in Yankee tickets rap
Associated Press

Former New York Gov. David Paterson won't be charged with perjury on allegations that he lied to the state ethics board about taking free Yankees tickets for the 2009 World Series while he was in office.

The Commission on Public Integrity charged in a report last year that Paterson violated ethics laws when he contradicted his staff, the Yankees and common sense by falsely claiming he always intended to pay for the tickets.

There also was a question whether the Democratic governor gave "intentionally false testimony" to the commission about having written an $850 check in advance for two tickets, independent counsel Judith Kaye said in another report. She said the evidence warranted consideration of criminal charges.

Who gets nearly free
internet and computers?

American Thinker


If this isn't blatant favoritism I don't know what is.

As part of the White House's deal to permit Comcast to buy NBC Universal, the government forced Comcast to promise to provide, according to Abby W. Schacter of the New York Post:

2.5 million low income households: (i) high-speed Internet access service for less than $10 per month; (ii) personal computers, netbooks, or other computer equipment at a purchase price below $150; and (iii) an array of digital-literacy education opportunities."

Who are the lucky beneficiaries among all the Americans who fit this category? Are you sitting down? Poor blacks in Obama's hometown in Chicago are the ones getting the sweet deal.
Is it also a coincidence that Rahm Emanuel, Obama's former Chief of Staff, was recently elected mayor and may need to boost his reputation among this same group of people, since he defeated a couple of the black candidates widely supported by them?

Didn't even need to read the article.

The answer is simple--it's the same people who are getting free housing, free food, free clothing, free cable TV, free educations, and more. And on top of that, they get free money--the so-called Earned Income Tax Credit.

And what do we (those who pay taxes) get for all of this?

Hatred, resentment, accusations of 'racism' and the demand for more money.

It must be tough to be a die hard Dem these days - especially a liberal die hard Dem. I mean Obama has been a disaster even by their standards...and yet they will still vote to reelect him in the primary and the general election too. IOW Dems don't believe what they preach. Not really. Worse yet for them is there are less good things happening for them to steal all credit for. It's getting so bad NY Congressman Weiner made up some cock & bull story about his account getting hacked just to amuse himself & to keep a Dem in the news with a side benefit of pushing one or two serious and depressing stories about the failings of Dem leadership on to the back burner for a while. Can't think of many other reasons for his ridiculous conduct in Weiner-gate and his childish use of self amusing puns.

Obama Announces Job Training Program Amid Poor Economic Numbers
Fox News, by Kelly Chernenkoff


As public dismay over his handling of the economy is on the rise, President Obama will announce a new job training program Wednesday at a Washington, D.C.-area community college. White House officials say that Mr. Obama will be joined at the Alexandria campus of Northern Virginia Community College by various business leaders to discuss a manufacturing sector job credentialing program. "[T]his is the type of mobilization and all-hands-on-deck effort that is so needed in this economy," National Economic Council Director Gene Sperling told reporters Tuesday, adding, "particularly at this moment and particularly

It's probably tough to be a die hard anything when it comes to politics. Dems seem to be liars and poor money managers. Reps are stinking cowards and are good at hiding their financial misdeeds.

Cook's unfunded pension gap at $108 billion, Pappas 'stunned' to learn
Crain's Chicago Business, by Greg Hinz


The average Chicago household now owes a staggering $63,525 to cover local government debt, according to Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas.



Suburbanites are deeply in the red, too, with the average household owing $32,901, according to the treasurer.



Among the biggest reasons: $25 billion in unfunded pension liability.



In comments after an appearance Tuesday before The Civic Federation, a watchdog group that has released somewhat similar numbers in recent years, Ms. Pappas said she was "stunned" to learn that county taxpayers on the whole owe more than $108 billion toward local debt.



The figures were derived from a recently passed debt disclosure law. Ms. Pappas said the numbers have never before been compiled in this fashion.



"This goes well beyond big cities," she said. "These fiscal problems permeate townships, villages, school districts, park districts, fire protection districts and more, and the taxpayers are on the hook."



Overall, she said, municipalities have $61 billion in debt. And educational districts, $20 billion. Cook County owes $18 billion and various sanitary districts collectively owe $4.4 billion.



In some ways the problem is actually worse than it appears. Ms. Pappas' report does not include totals from 55 of the county's 553 local units of government, which failed to report their debt figures to her.



On pensions, only one-quarter of the Cook County government units involved have at least 80% if the assets on hand needed to pay expected retirement plans for public employees, she said. Most financial watchdogs say 80% or even 90% is appropriate.



State lawmakers last year adopted changes that will reduce pension liabilities over time, but only for new employees. A bill that would reduce benefits or increase payments for current workers failed to pass in the spring legislative session but may come up this fall.

Bing teases upcoming announcement
of 'huge' help from White House

Detroit News, by Leonard N. Fleming

Original Article

Posted By:hadass23, 6/21/2011 2:11:26 PM

Detroit— Mayor Dave Bing said today that a major announcement would be coming from the White House in 45 to 60 days to help the troubled city but was mum on the details.

"It's coordination, collaboration from different federal agencies," Bing said after giving remarks at a media event at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. "The funding is primarily here. We've got a lot of money that's been allocated to Detroit that I don't think we've done a good job of allocating it where it should go."

Bing said it's "hard to say" what kind of impact this will have on the city but declared that "it is huge."

"The president is very serious about helping the city of Detroit," Bing said. "I think we're going to see something significant in the city of Detroit in terms of change."

Bing was among a contingent of mayors from around the country meeting in Washington Monday with President Obama and members of his administration.

One area the mayor would like the president to help Detroit with is battling adult illiteracy rates, which are keeping generations of the uneducated out of the job market.

Earlier today, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) took to the House floor and openly wondered why Congress is challenging President Obama over raising the debt ceiling, especially compared to the many administrations that came before him. “Why is he different?” Jackson Lee asked, before adding, “and in my community, that is the question that we raise. In the minority community that is question that is being raised. Why is this president being treated so disrespectfully?” Jackson Lee continued, “why has the debt limit been raised 60 times?
