'Washington Post' Backs Off Claim Romney Outsourced Jobs
Washington Post, "The actual article, in fact, does not say that transfers of U.S. jobs took place while Romney ran the private equity firm of Bain Capital. …The Obama campaign moved quickly to define what the article said, claiming that this transfer of jobs took place while Romney ran Bain. That’s not what the original article said."

“Americans … in every single way but one — on paper."
President Barack Obama now claims that the illegal aliens, to whom he
purports to grant what effectively is amnesty, are “Americans … in every
single way but one — on paper.” That is false. I believe the President is cleverly parsing words. People who live in
the America’s, which includes North America and the USA are by
definition “Americans”. But what does it take to be a US Citizen, which is actually the subject.
According to the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. (1) Allegiance
to the United States Constitution, (2) renunciation of allegiance to
any foreign country to which the immigrant has had previous allegiances
(3) defense of the Constitution against enemies “foreign and domestic”
(4) promise to serve in the United States Armed Forces when required by
law (either combat or non-combat) (5) promise to perform civilian duties
of “national importance” when required by law. Anyone seriously
believe that the majority of even a significant minority of those
illegal aliens actually believe in the above? Yes they are Americas, but
the have not met the fundamental requirements to be US citizens.

The GFU - understanding taxes, spending and fairness from a government perspective.
What we have here is a failure to communicate. I, for one, am overwhelmed with task of matching my fixed income, which only goes into 6 figures if you count decimal places, with the rising cost of utilities and cat food. Thank God, I don’t have a cat. So when I heard that the defeated Buffett rule would have taken $5,000,000,000.00 annually from tax payers and given it to the government, I was puzzled about why the President said passing the Buffett rule was a matter of fairness. To me, taking 30% of anyone’s property is more like robbery than fairness. Perhaps there is a better way to understand the relationship of tax increases and fairness. I suggest a new economic fairness measurement. It can be called the Government Fairness Unit (GFU) and it can be used to simply state the amount of money (fairness) that it takes to put on a government conference, (approximately $1,000,000 counting scouting trips) multiplied times the number of government agencies (I am using 1,250 to be conservative), which gives us $1,250,000,000 or 1 GFU. Therefore, had the “Buffett” tax increase passed that would have resulted in 4 GFU’s; or 1 party per each government agency per quarter. Now I see the fairness! Although this does not seem fair to interns, who will still have to scrape to pay for their parties out of the agency budgets.
It is also a handy tool for measuring spending. For instance, the failed stimulus package was $819,000,000,000.00 which is incomprehensible to me. But using the GFU then comes out 655 GFU’s - or 655 years of government parties up in smoke. OH, the inhumanity.
