Continuing to thwart the United States Constitution and the people’s will, the Obama-Jarret administration appears to be bribing the states considering eligibility legislation. Already Georgia* and New Hampshire’s eligibility bills will be postponed to 2013, clearly to protect Obama. And although there are signs of improvement in the language of the Arizona bill, what do you want to bet that will be postponed too?
The way the bribe is being set up only reinforces our own research that Congress is engaged in the cover up of the usurpation.
The goal is to reduce or threaten federal funding for key infrastructure projects in those states that have eligibility bills. But in order to hide the extortion, the reductions in funding must appear to come from Congress, specifically the republicans in Congress. Whatever loophole is left the democrat-controlled Senate will fix.
This is the federal government extracting behavior out of the states by leveraging our tax dollars. It is power the Founders never wanted our federal government to have.
New Hampshire
Several major infrastructure projects in New Hampshire are threatened by ‘republican’ budget cuts, scream several New Hampshire newspapers. Bridge repair, highway development, airports, and technology development are at least partially funded by the federal government.
In addition, New Hampshire is big on environmental projects, particularly forestry, which Senator Judd Gregg advancing in pulling federal dollars to his state. The 2009 federal spending included millions of dollars for conservation efforts.
Gutting or cutting any of these programs threatens the political careers of republican federal and state office-holders. As there is an urge in Congress now to cut without intelligence (i.e., cutting the Women and Infants program or food supplies), or to gut anything ‘liberal’, they are easy pickings for hostage taking.
New Hampshire has been taken hostage.
Georgia
Looking at Georgia’s request for federal funding, and cognizant that Georgia is one of the few states that often receives a federal contribution to cover 100% of project costs. Billions of dollars have been secured for Georgia by Rep. John Lewis, who has recently accused republicans of threatening funding for the dredging of Savannah Harbor. The goal is to secure 100% federal funding for this project, as it is the most ‘economical’ in the nation.
Conveniently a project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, whose budget is widely considered to be bloated, republicans will be blamed for the failure to secure 100% funding. In other words, even if they approve the project with say, a 35% match required by the state, their party will take the hit at the state and federal level.
And conveniently, John Lewis was the guy who claimed he was spit on by the ‘tea party’ as he accompanied the gavel-wielding Pelousy in a transparent attempt to enflame.
Has Georgia has been taken hostage?
*Georgia Representative Hatfield said on Reality Check last night that he would postpone the eligibility bill to 2013. Various reports have come in this morning that ‘he didn’t really mean it’ and he wants the bill out of committee and passed to be in effect for 2012.
Just an aside, remember that Georgia is where those “new world order” tablets are? When will we return to the days when people mean what they say, and say what they mean? Is it that hard?
Too Clever for their Own Britches
The bribing mechanism in place is to use ‘sympathetic democrats’ who go along with republican budget cuts, only to have Jarrett use those cuts to extract compliance from of the state to delay eligibility legislation.
They are so transparent in ways that make them easy to spot for their deception. If Obama was legit, why go to all this trouble?
He asked that everyone get on the phones and call the Georgia House of Representatives in each office and tell them you want this bill passed.
It does not matter if you are from another state, as we are all hoping Georgia will be the first to pass this eligibility legislation.
