I am HOMELESS ..... so little could save me..

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:46:47 EDT

Actually I became homeless this month... I am living in my xxx xxxx downtown,.. a public building... not supposed to be sleeping there... Others on the blog are in the same boat in the last 60 days and another one is fighting leaving his home of 5 years... all of us ... it was not because of our circumstances.. it was because of the owners of rentals problems.. or the property sold out from under us.,.. and unable to make new arrangements in this financial climate.

Hundreds of homes, rentals in this town empty, rents too high... first last and deposit and perfect credit ... is almost 5,000 just to rent..

Everyone holding out for the 'right' tenant to fly into town and give them the bucks.. And they can 'write off' the lost rent at a 'high' price on taxes as profit and loss...

people, men women and the youth... walk the streets ... faces drawn with long term hunger.. the junior high kids... single moms probably moved in with a man and they are on the street... it is so sad.. we had good weather until today.. rainy windy and cold.. when it turns this far north.. it stays until next June..

I am working on writing and doing what I can to help them..

I am scared.. I am at risk of losing 3 bedrooms of furniture because I do not have $157 for storage... it will be due again $132 on the first.. on the 10th it will have a lein and will be 'inventoried' and sold... they just dump it... and you have a lein for $2,000 or $3,000 because they 'inventoried' at $10 per hr every bottle cap in a 30 foot storage unit.. I am just sick with worry over it..

for $300 I could save myself all that. I get Soc Sec because of my heart.. I could pay back some a little at a time... I am overdrawn and when my check goes in ... I hope to have $300 left for my xxx xxxxx that I am sleeping in.. I am terrified.. so little could save me..

I am a Realtor, with a $1.4 Million listing... and my car is parked behind the art studio in a vacant lot... no money for gas since the 10th and I have been riding a bike to show property... I can't get away with that now.. the rain has started.... I passed it off as fun and yuks before now..

I am worried about the others on the street that do not have a dry place to hold up in.. I am at my desk on the net on my computer... I hope to keep my position until the end of the year..

I will check the other story you sent tomorrow. I have 2 miles to ride across town and it is almost ten pm.. I wore shorts today... it will be a cold wet ride.. thats the news... V.

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:15:41 EDT

I woke up to Rush Limbaugh....cough cough cough....that's what he does when he is about to make a derogatory statement....to get the maximum attention and phony disdain going....

Just bashing in general terms that were not substantiated...'...she's unmarried,...I'm not discriminat'tin because she's female or Hispanic,...which is a way of doing it while decrying that you are not....the worst of it for me was the ...."...worst judge on the appellate bench there is...."....[why?]...[...for real...what makes it so?...]

Time for the American People to say ....ENOUGH...of these self appointed ....can't say it here...the site is moderated now....but goes a little like this....'...burned out old...#$%@'s.....'

you get the picture.....they raped and robbed the country and the middle class...are responsible for wars,...medical and insurance costs,...looted Social Security...dumped the funds into the general fund...then LOOTED ...the treasury with war contracts....they send young men out to wars...to people who do not hate us...YET.....to kill, maim, and degrade them....to lower the numbers of competition for POWER AT HOME....that was all Vietnam was about...they HATED us.

They called us FLATBELLIES....because they were PORKERS....and used the young women left at home like a box of tissues....divorced there wives...and neglected their own children....emotional and financial abandonment....

TIME TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK....FROM THESE BLOW HARD LOSERS....

WE PICKED OBAMA ....AND HE IS THE 44TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES....

WE PICKED HIM...TO MAKE JUDGEMENTS AND DESCISCIONS...AND SUPREME COURT PICKS FOR US...END OF STORY....

Me....?....I am just another Republican that left the party....to support and elect Barack Obama.

MEDIA....DON'T YOU HAVE THE MESSAGE...YET?

My daughter lost job at the end of the year....the Company lost its contract to Aetna...WA employees health provider..

7 1/2 years she as commuted in all weather about 30 Freeway miles. During which time she had a child and drops him off to day care then drives to work....

No fault of her own...her Christmas Present this year is ...no job Dec 31st.

250 employees, mostly women,....affected.

She just this minute sent a text message. ....Yep, Aetna signed.

The owner of the house I live in....the 2 floors on the only hospital in the county...no longer will have that service...May 1 he was out of work after over 7 years...no fault of his own....

NO HANDSHAKE, ...JUST WAVE...SALUTATION...ANYTHING BUT TOUCH...HISTORY IS FUNNY....

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:18:21 EDT

NO HANDSHAKE, ...JUST WAVE...SALUTATION...ANYTHING BUT TOUCH...HISTORY IS FUNNY....

The history of the wave from a distance...gave permission to approach...I have no spear..my spear hand is empty....

The history of the handshake is ....here is my weapon hand...it is empty...approach....

It was permission to approach without harm...

Do we still need a ...pressing of the flesh in handshake form....to reach an agreement?

The worst shysters I have ever met ...were the most eager to '...HANDSHAKE...'

We can fore go the '..antiqudated..' custom...and stand on our own word and character.

I was fearful for Barack in the election season....I hope he will fore go any and all ..touching in the future...and I am a great fan of President Barack Obama....V.

Bank of America...and....MY MONEY

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Mon, 04 May 2009 13:33:50 EDT

Bank of America online banner....reads.....FREE CHECKING.....no service charge

The gimmick is put and maintain balance of $300.

If your balance of YOUR MONEY in YOUR ACCOUNT goes below $300 they can charge you $5.95

monthly service charge ...on ....MY MONEY.

MY MONEY in their pocket...but if is use ...MY MONEY...they charge me.

That means....I should just GIVE THEM ...$300 for life...as a CHARGE for a FREE CHECKING ACCOUNT.

I would be better off than to think it was still ...MY MONEY...as I would not be tempted to use it if it were not in MY ACCOUNT,...and get CHARGED...to use it.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Then there is FREE OVERDRAFT...up to $300 .....that cost.....$36 ...on approved credit.

I was GIVEN ...FREE OVERDRAFT...after passing a CREDIT CHECK...on one account.

DENIED IT ON THE SECOND ACCOUNT......member of the bank ...for decades....V.

H is worried he will lose the house...his job is over the end of April...the only hospital in town is closing the Inpatient Alcohol and Drug Treatment 2 floors and counseling center. H has been there 7 years...no job....in 3 weeks. No opportunity for a Counselor to find work here. The entire nation will lose because of the people it helped...multiplied by the impact on the state from the families and children for decades to come....when one is helped....multiple are helped...for decades.

Another victim a dad in the community had lost his job, wife had multiple cancer surgeries, 14 boy, 10 girl,...the dad rode his motor bike out to the Lake Whatcom neighborhood to sell it...must have been taking a last ride on it and looking at the lake...ran into the back of a pick up truck and broke his neck...died instantly....uncounted victims of the financial fall out....

What will be the reckoning for those that caused this...That is just two that I know of this week....V.

BUY STOCK?...IN JUNK FOOD COMPANIES....THE PRICES ARE ALMOST DOUBLE.....

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:26:27 EDT

I would seem to reason....that the stocks in these companies would be a good idea....if the prices in the stores are any indicator in the value of the stocks in the makers of them.

But you never know what the bookkeeping would be before the profit reached the investors.

The prices of cheap food choices have gone from ....'up' to 'unreasonable'

$3 for a CAN of chili?....$1.29 for a BOX of macaroni mix?.....not 10 for a $1....

Because more people are having to feed families cheaper food stuffs.

Now add to that ....the people seeking out stress relief foods,...

and the new non-smokers PIG OUT....

Did the Sunday evening run to the market for Microwave Popcorn...pastry for Monday Morning

and canned cat food to give the cat a treat of something different.

Seldom do this...just wanted to 'veg' out....every few months have to be 'normal' and take a

'little' vacation from being sensible.

$21 and change...for:

2 Boxes Microwave Popcorn,

10 cans of cat food,

2 trays of the cheapest pastry available, no jam on it to speak of...only slight traces.

1 small can of spice to cook with....1 oz plastic jar...did not know they made them

That's it.....$21 .....shock....just a few things ...not even a meal....

MY PIG OUT....SELF INDULGENCE PRIVATE PARTIES....EVERY FEW MONTHS ARE OVER.....V.

Home Sales are ....UP...UP...UP....AND VALUE IS GOING UP ...8.6%....last month.....WA

Now that is something to writie about...that was the news from the Realtors on the 790 radio program......YEA!!!!!

Our county, and our company,...has had closings and is actively showing and listing....YEA!!!!!

The Ficus Tree....named....'Economy'......no leaves but alive....

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 01:03:23 EDT

Our real estate admin lady left the state and gave the office her plants....

I have watered and tended to them....but the Ficus Tree.....no leaves....but alive.

This morning in the sales meeting, ...see the connection?....realty....economy...

One particular agent, an old crone from another company that moved to our office....with old ideas and atitudes.....wanted to get a committee together to remove the 7 ft Ficus from the converence area.

This is important:

It has had CHANGE, of dirt, light, care, oversight and opinions of it.

It has lost all of its....OLD LEAVES....OLD DIRT....OLD MANAGER

It has nimble green limbs,....and will sprout soon.

I told them...NO....I named the tree....'Economy'

It is alive and will have leaves soon....I will keep you posted......V.

Home for Alcoholics save Taxpayers $4 Million

Study: Seattle home for alcoholics saved taxpayers $4 million

Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Last updated 7:13 a.m. PT

SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF

For years, Nathaniel Porter began his day with a pint of vodka or whiskey, which often made him throw up, which made him reach for a beer. He was off his schizophrenia medication, going to the sobering center a lot, and living in shelters, which made him want to start the next day the same as the last.

But a year ago, Porter moved into the 1811 Eastlake house, a subsidized apartment building near downtown Seattle for homeless alcoholics. He now often starts his day by sending his friend Jim to the corner shop for a six-pack of beer or a couple of tall boys, and settling in for "The Jeffersons" or "Good Times." But he's off the "hard stuff," takes his medication regularly, stays out of the sobering center, and goes to a meditation group.

"It's wonderful," said Porter, an amiable 51-year-old, of his current home. "I stay out of trouble. I come in, go to my room. It's nice and peaceful."

Porter's progress is echoed in a study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study, led by a University of Washington researcher, found that the once-controversial 1811 program -- which provides housing and services without demanding sobriety -- saved taxpayers more than $4 million in one year.

"It was perceived that we were opening a party house where people could drink and run amok and generally set their hair on fire," said Bill Hobson, executive director of the Downtown Emergency Service Center. The agency opened the home in 2005, after years of protests.

"This research shows that this is not the case."

Researchers followed 95 chronically homeless alcoholics, who, before moving into the home, had run up a taxpayer bill of $8.2 million in hospitalizations, emergency services, jail time and sobering center visits.

After one year of being in the program, the same group cost taxpayers only $4 million, the study found. Each resident also drank less the longer they lived in the home, and their toll on publicly funded programs decreased as time went on.

"One of the overwhelming sentiments was just how much better life was at 1811," said Mary Larimer, a UW professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and lead author of the study.

"Certainly, it is much easier (to change) when you are not cold, hungry and scared, and have a few meaningful events in your life."

Larimer also compared residents against a control group of 39 homeless alcoholics on a wait-list to get into the home. She found that the residents, after six months of being in the home, cost taxpayers 50 percent less than the wait-listed group.

The research represents the first controlled study to look at the Seattle program, which is part of a national model called "Housing First," in which people can live in subsidized homes and get services without having to give up drinking or attend treatment.

"This is an extraordinarily successful program," said Ron Sims, the outgoing King County Executive. He admitted Tuesday that he was among the many initial skeptics of the program, and that he had been concerned about it "enabling" alcoholism. He reluctantly allowed the county to fund it, with an initial investment of $2 million, followed by $240,000 a year in operational support.

"It was a doggone good thing to do," he said. "Our return on investment has exceeded any expectation."

For Porter, the home has given him stability in what had been a chaotic life, leading him to drink less. He explained it simply:

"Out there, I wanted a roof over my head. I got to drinking heavy when I was thinking about getting a roof over my head. I came here. I got a roof over my head."

Because We Care....about others that were part of our groups

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 15:04:25 EDT

I support the local new building for Women and Children Shelter. It needs beds and sheets and towels to open. I share the linki to their web site. They are here local and in downtown and a registered charity with a big men's shelter of over 20 years across the street.

I think the solution is each local area looking for Obama people having a hard time.
The local groups, and to share babysitting, day care, buy in bulk and divide, chores shared. Like a senior that will do laundry but can't mow the grass stuff. Just helping interaction. That makes people a little more cheerful, and their dollars go further.

I think I will share this online again. I do not like to go on the site anymore. I just check my groups, but when I get a good idea I want to put it out...We can show the Repubs we care about others.

Rush....? Reading his script?...Written by whom?

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 15:37:36 EDT

My radio was on the station that carries Rush Lumpy from last night. I turned it on this morning and heard about 10 min of this mornings rants. A written transcript would put in perspective the extent of his insanity.

I think he was reading it anyway. That would be a whole nother ball game. What if we could prove he read a script!! Written by whom...?

His hearing is not good but he makes dialog mistakes that one would do if they were reading....like..plan for plane..etc.

You guys help me keep a balance of my own. I get so worked up inside when I hear the outright lies....then I log on and you are all here thank you so much for being here and writing. Rush Lumpy this morning was HISSING like a snake...unbelievable dialog...how does anyone of adult reasonable mindset listen to it much less like it....the hate emails I get are racist and crass....what can we do?

CHANGE NOW.....Young Woman's life,....your TAX DOLLARS....at risk...and all the future children she could help....

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:19:18 EDT

Interesting day,....opened with coffee with a friend that stopped by....

I spent most of my day helping and listening to others to help them.

Went to my office.....she came by my office with another young woman and we went to lunch.

The other young woman, 27, will graduate in June with a teaching degree...nice yes....no...

No....the odds of her making it after years of working in a restaurant and going to college will be all for nothing and will cost you and others ....in lifetime issues....if no one helps her and those like her....

She has no health insurance,....has an active COCAINE HABIT....she is desperately trying to stop...she told the story at lunch....'I can't afford in patient treatment,..$10,000....I need to get clean...I am 9 days off of it...if I go to work...I will have it offered to me and/or know it is available....I called in sick and am not going so that I will not be tempted..."

If this young woman uses, does not finish the 3 months left until graduation she will risk hurting herself and or others,...risk picking up a felony...that takes care of the teaching career....she has a job stating in the fall as a pre-school teacher....

Her future is to only be able to be hired in restaurants for the rest of her life...her degree will be worthless if she gets it....and she is so close...

SHE IS A LOVELY ASSET WE CAN NOT WASTE AND THROW ON THE ASH HEAP OF LIFE....

THE STATE AND TAXPAYERS ARE AT RISK FOR THE NEXT 50 YEARS OF THE COST ONE PERSON WILL GENERATE.

CHANGE NOW....

The in patient alcohol/drug treatment facility in the only hospital in town is closing May 1st.

She has tried to go to the NA and CA meetings and they are not adequate in this small community. Poor conditions, and no real help....

The entire wing will lose their jobs...they are assets to this county and the hundreds of young people they help each month.

With no health insurance..she could not go anyway...

What are your thoughts and ideas to CHANGE this scenario....V.

The E. Cherry YWCA Food Bank is being hit in the rising cost of food. Our number of families we serve is up 165% and we need food urgently to meet the ever growing needs. Can you consider donating to our food bank, hosting a food drive, or donating cash or gift cards? Please know all money goes directly to food purchases. Even $25 can buy a case of sugar and flour, and know you make a difference what ever you choose to donate.

Thank you for your consideration!

Gene Burns' Page

Monday - Friday: 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM
Saturday: 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Email Gene

While many in the public eye work hard to avoid labels such as "unpredictable" and "iconoclast", KGO’s Gene Burns embraces them gleefully. Each weeknight Burns holds forth celebrating the richness of the English language, challenging cherished opinions and enthusiastically tilting at windmills. His bosses grumble that both his words and telephone calls are too long! His detractors label him too opinionated. While listening respectfully, the successful broadcasting veteran begs to differ. "Free speech is an American parlor sport and intellectually based verbal combat is the essence of its exercise," he says, adding, "Citizen activism is at the very heart of democracy."

I started with a RAW throat and low energy,...next day, some sinus but no runny nose...the next morning I woke up and my neck was swollen up like I had the MUMPS....my face and eye swollen up and runny eyes....the pain was horrible....I took two big Tylenol all day long...and it was hard not to feel like screaming...bad nights for sleeping with pain....

5 days later seemed to subside...but painful and swollen glands under neck.

Better 7 days later, went out yesterday did errands in and out in cool rain then to office....by 2 pm swelling and pain back ...2 large Tylenol would not subside the pain...sent home from office.

Not much better today.....

Rush talks like America is for him and his 'kind' 21ST CENTURY ROBBER BARONS....everyone else are illegal aliens.

The basic value system I get from his dialog is that:

A. We do not understand Capitalism and do not want it....

we do, just not the ROBBER BARONS capitalism of the 1920's that caused the CRASH.

We are in danger of that 'unfettered' capitalism doing the same thing now...no one else is making that analogy....it is the same thing....

B. We just want to 'TAKE' from the Fed's....ie him and his kind....

'THAT SUPPORT ATTYS AND ACCOUNTANTS FOR TAX LOOPHOLES'....the working class is going to foot this bill and it had better help us....

C. Rush thinks that 'HATE SPEECH' will rally the troops on 'his side' to allow them to continue business as usual...since we do not understand open markets....

Open markets with rules and laws are healthy...not PONZI SCHEMES...and top heavy corps...V.

WA Monies...hope not spent on more monuments and dog parks

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 16:50:36 EST

With the announcement of the WA release of funds of the 26B out now, per www.recovery.gov it is my HOPE that WA uses the funds to truly help the people of WA.

Use the funds:

For real projects that help unfortunates.

Expand shelter and medical for homeless and working poor.

Do not use prison or illegal labor to build forest or fish projects that do not benefit citizens.

The time for forest and fish is AFTER we fix the people problems.

AND god bless us, please do not pay for anymore PUBLIC ART....and monuments.

I am going to photograph that monstrosity in Bellingham $777,000 for a Stainless steel Phallic symbol down the street from the Mission and homeless.

The hidden homeless, the working poor, need and want, medical, food stamps, and help with children to keep kids in school fed, sheltered, and what about vouchers for rent for families who have lost jobs for 6 months?

I am not asking for me....I am not in any of these catagories....

just PUKING SICK of WA state and local economics.....V.

This is a list of the funds released now of the 26B to WA From the web site: www.recovery.govRebuilding America's Infrastructure
President Obama and Transportation Secretary LaHood have announced that $27 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds are headed to states to provide critical repairs to our nation's crumbling roads and bridges.

Parts of the allocation are set aside to make sure that urban, suburban, and rural areas alike all get a share. But since local leaders -- mayors and governors -- know their communities best, much of the money is left to states' discretion. And if states don't use it, they lose it. To make sure that funds go out quickly to give our economy the jolt it needs, states have 120 days to assign the funds to specific projects.

Use the map below to see how funds are going to be apportioned to your state and to specific urban areas.SOURCE: U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration

Jumped on briefly here to warn others....do not even pass pointer over BLUE TEXT....my screen went white. Internet explorer closed down, my programs went up with blinking announcements your computer has been attacked and you will lose all of your information.

I immediately closed all warnings...did not use the flashing FIX,...used my firewall, virus, computer clean ups, closed all several times and rebooted....it quarantined several of my trusted programs....they are not the problem...they were used as entries....I know nothing about computers but this was what I experienced...

Some of my programs are quarantined until they have a security fix from them.

Virtual March on DC for our President...online rally

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 08:26:57 EST

We can organize a virtual March using our web site, online rallies, etc.

We made our voices heard here let's do it again, here.

I personally do not like petitions, calls to congress, I do not think that is the way to go in this century.

A march on DC is just putting people through the inaugural thing again, travel expense, hardship on families, elders, the ill.

We can come up with a plan like a online donation drive to a cause or something.

Everyone donate $10 times the number of supporters that are with us. That is what they listened to before. Every time Barack had a difficulty in the campaign,...we would rally and donate...that really got their attention.

Vote with the dollar bill is a vote for our President again....sans the bureaucrats. ....V.

We who banded together to elect Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States are now under attack in our own space by:

Repubs....easy to detect

Paid Trolls....easy to spot...they bleed blue ink

and now the 'Blue Dogs'....who think they have been empowered and do not need us anymore.

Attacking anything and anyone who is not the party of 'Us 4 and no more'.

Another great person has 'opted out' to be a significant daily reader and poster....

What is the 'battle death number' for the DNC on the Barack Obama/Joe Biden site to date?

We have been the leading force for the media news. They read our material, and rail for it or against it...both sides are reading this blog.

We have 'links' filled with computer viruses and no one dares link to someone they don't trust.

Our names have been hijacked.

Verna ..v.o.b.....prayers for the 'Man' — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 22:35:10 EST

I am encouraged...hopeful...and not worried...I put my personal agenda aside....I have it difficult...by any standard...but ...nothing to compare to most folks.

Did you read the post down page that folks were walking out of their homes and only taking what they could put in a car....is this the beginning of...the days of ...the new....THE GRAPES OF WRATH?

I have been worried about it for a long time...anyone who does not know what I am writing about....rent the movie...and/or ...read the book...rich people drove by and threw dust in the faces of people walking down the road with what belongings they could carry.

We do not have to wait for the Stim Package to write us a check....we can and should help each other out.

We need to organize our town groups and formulate a plan to store goods and distribute help...temp house families, children to go to school...that is the most cruel thing lf all

Having to leave your home with school children....no bed to go to sleep in...to kitchen for making meals...no bathroom and shower...no washer and dryer....and to go to school and face your fellow students...It happened to my children because of a divorce.

I have first hand knowledge of what that feels like...suddenly your children on sleeping on the sofa of neighbors who can take them to school the next day....and the courts gave my ex my house and my money.....It happened to a family in our town this week...the stay at home mom has two children and a part time job....

The ex got the house and his job and does not pay....she is worried sick.

We have to help these people....the Courts need to award the house to the mom and the kids...as a matter of fact.....it is heartless to think that children do not have a 'financial stake' in the home.

Just the adults....it is the kids home as well...dead beat dads are cruel to know that they WON the suit and brag to there friends...like they are VINDICATED for bad behavior....

My situation was 20 years ago...but others are going through it now...with loss of jobs and foreclosures....I feel for the teens....be good to them....alcohol and drugs are not stress relief...and is a bad thing for teens too..

We need to organize...maybe someone has a store out of business, warehouse, barn, farm, something....to let people store things in...or put to share with others....food pantry....we all got to help.

I ache for my countrymen...but I trust my President to work on the big stuff...we have to put our hands out to others...he can only do so much...V.

I was confused when I heard the word 'service'  used with these agencies.

Internal Revenue 'Service'
U.S. Postal 'Service'
Telephone 'Service'
Cable TV 'Service'
Civil  'Service'
State, City, County & Public   'Service'
Customer 'Service'

This is not what I thought 'service' meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking,

and one of them said he had hired a bull to

'service' a few cows. BAM!!! It all came into focus.

Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.

Now you are as enlightened as I am.

Accountability and Transparency

"We cannot overstate the importance of this effort. We are asking the American people to trust their government with an unprecedented level of funding to address the economic emergency. In return, we must prove to them that their dollars are being invested in initiatives and strategies that make a difference in their communities and across the country. Following through on our commitments for accountability and openness will create a foundation upon which we can build as we continue to tackle the economic crisis and the many other challenges facing our nation."

Memorandum to Head of Departments and Agencies, February 9, 2009

The President has made it clear that every taxpayer dollar spent on our economic recovery must be subject to unprecedented levels of transparency and accountability. He has identified five crucial objectives for Federal agencies, to ensure that:

Recovery funds are awarded and distributed in a prompt, fair, and reasonable manner;
The recipients and uses of all recovery funds are transparent to the public, and that the public benefits of these funds are reported clearly, accurately, and in a timely manner;
Recovery funds are used for authorized purposes and every step is taken to prevent instances of fraud, waste, error, and abuse;
Projects funded under the recovery legislation avoid unnecessary delays and cost overruns; and,
Programs meet specific goals and targets, and contribute to improved performance on broad economic indicators.

To meet these objectives, the President is directing Federal agencies to take critical steps in preparation for the Act’s implementation. See here, for the White House’s February 9, 2009 initial implementation memorandum and February 18 detailed guidance memorandum.

The de-regulation that caused the terrible financial mess.

I have already received some interesting feed back...I do not want to rewrite and post their material on my blog...it is their intellectual property...and that is not why I did it...I have enough original material thank you.

I did it to get people thinking about what the reasons are that caused this. The root cause...when we highlight them that will get us moving forward....other than the obvious greed and mean spiritedness of the last 8 years of buffoonery...like it would not hurt everyone.

Do not name people or businesses you do not own without permission...but in loose terms like...

This happened way over here in WA....

The peanut factory debacle in Georgia, affected a local cookie maker that has worked up from a small endeavor to having a industrial prep kitchen with product in all the local major outlets and elsewhere, I do not know the scope of their market....had to recall product....and call to question a wonderfully safe, delicious, professionally presented and packaged items.

At risk it the short term and the long term product name that was worked so hard and long for years....sad....deregulation and long term abuses at the Peanut factory in Georgia, caused hardworking, conscientious person that found a niche of her own...problems not of her making.
