MORE CONCERNS

June 2011 rapidly approaches which means that the next election for President of the United States is less than one year and six months away. There are many concerns facing Americans with none being greater than the wealth of worries that conservative Americans associate with the potential reelection of BHO.


But that Obama reelection fear does not today dominate conservative thought. There are other issues that need immediate concern. Some of these issues are obvious; some of these issues are hypothetical; and some of these issues are real but are lurking in the shadows.


Two of the obvious issues facing America are the on-going terrible unemployment rate and the massive ever increasing debt obligation of our nation. These particular matters are just not getting any better. Washington continues to report that unemployment is at the 9.0% level but we all know that this is a manipulated calculation and that the real unemployment figure is much closer to 16%. As to the national debt, it has exceeded the $14 Trillion mark and grows daily even though there is just no money to allocate to the payment of these obligations. Most recently the Obama Administration "borrowed" money from the funds designated to pay the retirement benefits of retired/retiring federal workers.


Hypothetical problems cover areas like Obama's desire to nationalize all illegal immigrants living, or should I say hiding, in our nation and the ramifications of such an executive act; Obama's desire to end the income tax deduction item of money paid toward home loan interest; and the huge mess presenting itself to Americans in the form of Obama HealthCare.



Other matters truly hide in the shadows but very real. These matters include who will succeed Strauss-Kahn as the head of the IMF; what impact will the almost open sale of US Government Notes by Japan and Communist China have on our nation's well being; and what are the plans of BRICS and how will their actions impact our nation. BRICS is the grouping of five nations who would like to become the dominate force in the world. These nations who have formed some type of alliance are Brazil, Russia, India, Communist China and South Africa and they are now called BRICS.

By all standards, these items are potentially critical and overflow the American plate of worries. And these are only a few of the concerns conservative Americans have pressing on their minds.
