Obama Reveals Wireless Internet Expansion Plan, Targets Rural Areas

@High Climber Sure is. and he still can't do his own job, and just keep's getting involved with thing's he has NO REASON too, JERK!!!!!!!

@High Climber. So now Obama is planning to spend trillions on high speed rail and billions on high speed internet. At one time I worked at a communication company that had a top executive with grandiose plans. His plans didn’t go anywhere and the company went bankrupt after it had spent a lot of money trying to implement his strategy. That’s when I realized the difference between a “dreamer” and a “visionary.” The ‘visionary” KNOWS how he going to realize his goals. Obama doesn’t have a clue how to set up an efficient power grid for windmills, how to set up high speed rail in a country as large as the US and how we can set up high speed internet in a country who has basically maxed out our telecommunications networks already. It’s his nightmare on “health care” all over again. Ronald Reagan fought both Communism and "Big Government". Obama is a strong supporter of each.

@High Climber

@High Climber He's going to have to open up more computer access areas for his ultimate plan to assign everyone a government issued Internet Access I.D. number. I guess our Social Security number (now required to be applied for at birth) isn't enough exposure to identity thieves.

@beth Everybody pays the SAME capital taxes. You should do your own research and form your own opinion. Stop listening and regurgitating Demo'Craps' talking points from NPR, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, etc.

@beth wah wah wah wah tax the rich wah wah wah funny that is the ONLY plan you whacko's seem to able to come up with. Wonder wh biat would happen if we stopped giving people tax refunds for more than they payed in taxes. You idiots love to generalize. All the rich play games huh? Well how about this then? ALL the poor never pay bills,ALL the poor are lazy, ALL the poor does not pay taxes at all. I can keep going. Funny you bitch about the rich not paying enough taxes, but do not btch about those paying nearly nothing or in some cases nothing, and as pointed out getting more than they payed back. You say taxing them will not affect job growth? You right it will just affect job loss. Tax them more, fine. Then they fire more workers, increase workload adding more unhealthy stress to employee's who already have enough. Or instead of all that they may just fire a ton, keep bare minimum workers and outsource the rest with that much tax. You idiots are a real joke when it comes to coming up with any good ideas when it comes to well anything really. All you guys think the answer is just to tax the rich more to pay for everything. You ever stop to think to yourself, why should they actually pay more in taxes? Why, because they or their family have acquired something not everyone else has. Rather odd that the poor use ALL the things payed for by the taxes that they do not pay to begin with. Meanwhile the rich who you say should pay even more taxes do not use and probably will never use half that shit. That is of course fair in your eyes, yes? Well it is not in mine, and trust me I am very far from rich im of the near homeless poor variety. Would be so if not for my grandmother letting me stay with her for a little bit. Long story, but mainly stems from me getting injured n a car accident. While we have always been poor it was the final nail in the coffin you could say that hit us. We were not these idiots who could not read the print on the papers they were signing buying a home we cold not afford just because they would give us a loan. Common sense should tell you if you make 30k a year you should not be buying a 300k home. But oh wait I forgot they deserve to have those things it is somehow a right. So you see whether you choose to believe me or not I am one of the very poor and I still think just taxing the rich will fix things. Why not offer more of a tax break if they employ people otherwise no tax break but no fucking raise either otherwise you may cause actual job loss which is far worse then squeezing some more tax dollars out of the rich. What I do not get is somehow it is the right for those poor to have bought a house that they clearly could not afford, yet you all bitch about what the rich buy and say they do not deserve it bah blah blah. Meanwhile they actually can afford it and are far less likely to go into foreclosure, or take loans out on a house they already can not afford. It has not one thing to do with taxing the rich to get out of a hole or anything similar to that. Since you cant/don't have it you want to take it from them. Why should the rich pay for anyone else besides themselves their family and people of their choosing? Because you say so? Because you want to redistribute the wealth to the "people"? Honestly like I said I think it is your way of thinking you are hurting them since you do not have what they have, and you would just as easily see the money not exist then be in their hands. My guess is you can not give one reason on why taxing the rich will simply fix everything and not cause any harm. better healthcare or things the money can pay for is not a reason those are more expenses. Right there is the problem you morons want to tax the rich to hell, but not to fix the current problems. You want to add more problems you want to tax them to pay for programs and ideas that are not even implemented yet! It is such a crock of shit. These programs are supposed to be in place for emergencies when a honest LEGAL CITIZEN in this country falls on hard times and needs a temporary hand up, not to live off of permanently. The problem is that's what's happening people living off every government program they can working the system to get the most that they can and not have to work for it. It is fact you can not dispute that this is not a common thing. Funny that the most avoided programs are the ones that involve either working to keep benefits or getting some type of skill to get back into the workforce. These are statistically for you idiots that means its a fact the MOST avoided, why? In some cases they are required though still they find ways to avoid them one way or another. Since according to so many of you whacko left idiots these people just want a chance to contribute to society again and need a hand is it we have to REQUIRE them to take free classes to obtain extra job skills? Further the problem with your wonderful social plans is there are not enough resources directed towards these work classes and too many directed to the others. That way of course you keep your main voting block right where you want them in your lego wall. Do not try to argue otherwise. I have now had first hand experience with this shit. I figured since I have payed into all these programs in taxes that while I need a little helping hand at the present moment I would apply for some TEMPORARY help since well that is what it's supposed to be used for. Though I hated the fact I had to do, not because of any hate toward the program or anything of that nature. More so hated what had happened to me because of the car accident. My head was still stuck pre-accident with thinking I did not need help and it could be used for others who needed that temporary helping hand though I do need it just had trouble coming to grips with it. So I go down, finally after waiting what felt like forever (6 hours) I got called it. I sit down she looks at my information smiles at me while telling me what I somehow do not qualify for and what I do qualify for. Apparently not having a job etc does not matter for me, because they looked at what I previously made and therefore should be able to make that again. I was stunned being that the car accident has ruined well everything. I went back to working after the accident because I had no choice as I was the only person who was paying bills which blew what lawsuit I would of had thanks to state laws anyhow. This job while I did decent I was only able to stay as long as I did because my friends were my boss and covered for the ton of work days I missed or being severely sick or in pain and unable to do work while at work. Until I ended up having to go to the hospital and could not go back to work but also was released from the job, because they had no choice. I was hospitalized for over a month, when released I could do nothing but stay in bed even when I was told I would be able to I just could not. Anyhow this prompted from her a "well that is a disability issue and that is why you do not qualify for this this and this". Mind you I agree partially but I can not get disability until I can see a doctor that is not a hospital doctor and one that is actually treating me on a semi-normal basis to say I am disabled. Can not afford to even see the doctor at the moment. hence wanting just the temporary help. Well anyway she finally gets to what I do qualify for which was not much, but anything was better than nothing though my spirits while low before were now non-existent. Well you should of seen my face when she told me though I qualify for these few things I could not get them, because resources were limited and since I was new and not well the word she used a "regular" i was to be put at the bottom of a long list and would not be receiving any help unless according to her I was to get pregnant and pop out a kid. Mind you if I could do that I would not need emergency assistant help as I am a guy and could probably make money off of that. Though I would be in some need of serious medical attention is my guess lol. Anyhow my point is these programs do not work they encourage people to live off them, because of played right they can live decently near the level of having a decent job. Believe me they know how to play the system just right and while it disgusts me will go and have a kid just to stay on it. I am not stereotyping and this saddens me. I to a girl who had a bad child life etc who admitted to me that while she was ashamed of it got pregnant on purpose just so she could get some kind of government assistance. I asked her, why? She said "Honestly it is all I know, even from growing up as a kid". So here a intelligent girl life ruined because she was exposed to this kind of living and felt she had no other choice. Something tells me though not every girl is like this that there are more than just her with a story like this. As I was angry after I somehow a person who has always payed can not get any assistance at all I talked to a few other people. One who turned out to be well lets just say not from here and happens to not be here well legally. That person happens to qualify for assistance! What in the fuck is that shit! Have been getting benefits for 5 years now. He gets full benefits along with his not so legal wife who he is not officially married to, because he says they get more that way and its easier. It is not even that they have kids because they were on as they put it "the program" a year before they even had a kid. Now they have 3 after he told me this is when he revealed that not being officially legally married benefited them more as she gets even more benefits for having kids money and care for them and more money for herself as well. His words were "it's nice to live the American dream", and does not understand why more of his people do not do this and why so many of them that come over decide to even work. Not criticizing him for any reason then it made me sick that the system is so easy to abuse by certain people it seems. I sort of wish they did all applications very impersonal either through a computer on each end with a window between the each that you can not see through or even a voice changer you talk through. No race question and just require a social security number hell not even a name as that can sometimes lead someone to think that a person is of a certain race. Now that would be nice. You idiots use what happened to me as a reason to tax the rich and add more money to more programs, not even fixing them adding new ones. Well I say what happened to me is proof that at the moment they do not need more money especially at least until they are fixes and run properly. If they were restructured and not built to sustain a person so long that even if they want to get off it they do not know how I think they would find they have enough funds or at least if more funds were needed it would not be some unknown figure and would be worth funding. Should you not have a valid SSI number proof of who you are and address matching your SSI or at least enough information to attach the address you are currently staying at (if a relatives etc) to your SSI temporarily even, you get no assistance. Sorry if you liberals think these programs are in place to help all they just should not be. These programs should be there to help Americans meaning legal citizens not a race but legal American citizens. I think once things like that were to be implemented a huge step in fixing these programs would begin and the people who need the temporary help would be able to actually get it. Those who live off it would have to get hit with reality sooner or later. So take your tax the rich idea/philosophy/opinion and shove it up you ass as it seems to be the only idea you idiot liberal fucktards can come up with. You guys parrot it as if your master has you on a little perch with a cracker over your head. Honestly you whackjobs need to come up with something more than just taxes to fix the problems. Same thing for the other side as well with just less taxes. While taxes do need to be dealt with it needs to stop being seen as a way to fix that which is damaged. More or less either way its not going to change things to being great other stuff must be addressed before taxes are changed in a big way. After those things are addressed perhaps then taxes in either direction may help or even the current way may turn out to be fine, but my point is not to forget about taxes just to realize there are other problems then just taxes and other ways to fix those problems besides well taxes. Also being number 1 in military means a hell of a lot more than you are giving it credit for douche. I somewhat agree about the prison thing, so lets just put the death penalty back on the table in all states then and actually use it. Bet that fixes a huge part of that issue. And for those that want to argue against imprisonment for these idiots that do drugs and do not want to pay fines. Well fine no actual prison but house arrest it is, I am all for that to be honest. Problem solved again. Though I think there should be severe restrictions depending on the age if house arrest is used as prison. Though I only go this far as compromise for you whack jobs on the super far far left. Because to be honest I think if the punishment were more severe then it might actually curtail this drug shit. If anything the problem is since its just some jail time to these people that are really into their drugs that is no big deal. As they probably get more of it on the inside anyway. Well i am done ranting your stupid post just set me off, as i am just so sick of people thinking are main problem is the rich. When i think we have a bigger problem when people think it is alright to start saying how much a person can make and should they make more money they will be penalized for that. Just think of the lesson in school. "Today class we are going to talk about how not to be too successful and not make too much money or you will be penalized" though taught by liberal teachers they will teach it as a good thing of equality. Anyhow Beth, just learn to shut the hell up and talk about things you know and stop parroting what some of your idol liberals keep saying.

@beth This will be another fiasco unless it is left up to the private sector. Obama is probably correct in initiating the changes but he needs to keep congress and the White House out of it completely.

@Ed
Nice of you to bring up Reagan . But some of your perceptions of him are wrong . Government grew under Reagan with increases 10 fold in the Military alone . And although he hated communism his hate helped to arm and train Bin Laden and his group . Any idea how Reagan funded the 5 secret wars he ran during his stay in office ? Very complicated but in short he broke the law . google that . Obama is very much like Reagan as he talks one thing but does the other .And he has no trouble breaking constitutional law .

@wyldsyde53
OK, so let's hear your ideas about how to address the problems you just mentioned.
For example.
1. To fund the repair of our infrastructure, I would raise the money to pay for it by...
2. To help the people have lost their jobs and their homes, I would increase hiring by our nation's businesses, large and small. I would accomplish this by...
3. Since our country is virtually well beyond bankrupt. I will return the country to financial solvency by...
4. To lower our national debt, I would...
5. I would 'fix' Social Security by...

Please be specific with your answers, and please, I am not asking what anyone else has or has not done, but only what YOUR ideas are. I'm looking forward to your response!

@Tom

@Tom : The Federal Government wasn't wasting OTHER PEOPLES' MONEY to develop the wheel.

@Tom this is the beginning of the gov taking over the internet.

@Tom The growth of the internet was by private companies and without government intervention. Let private companies ecpntinue that expansion.
