Corrupt Jackoff Harry Reid Secretly Slips Las Vegas Casino Handouts Into Immigration Reform Bill

Typical government corruption rears it’s head again as corrupt jackoff Harry Reid and Dean Heller slip Las Vegas crony handouts into the proposed immigration reform bill.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) have inserted a provision that amounts to little more than a handout to Las Vegas casinos into the repackaged immigration reform bill, Breitbart News has learned. This provision, a brazen example of crony capitalism, was inserted into the immigration law enforcement section of the bill despite the fact that it has nothing whatsoever to do with “immigration” or “law enforcement.”

On page 66 of the repackaged bill, the following provision appears:

“CORPORATION FOR TRAVEL PROMOTION.—Sec- 9(d)(2)(B) of the Travel Promotion Act of 2009 (22 U.S.C. 2131(d)(2)(B)) is amended by striking ‘‘For each of fiscal years 2012 through 2015,’’ and inserting ‘‘For each fiscal year after 2012.”

The Travel Promotion Act (TPA) of 2009 allows the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to spend up to $100 million on promoting travel

Does Apple Use Shady Tax Gimmicks & Loopholes to Avoid Paying Fair Share of Taxes?

rotten-at-the-coreA new report by Senate investigators accuses Apple of taking advantage of tax gimmicks and loopholes that help the company avoid paying their fair share of US taxes.

The report says that Apple pays ‘little or no corporate tax in any country’.

Companies, no matter who they are or how big they are, should be forced to pay the true amount of taxes they owe, and not be able to use all kinds of loopholes to stash money overseas.

Senate investigators accuse Apple of wiring together a complicated system to shield billions of dollars in international profits from both U.S. and foreign tax collectors.

A report released ahead of Apple CEO Tim Cook’s inaugural Capitol Hill appearance Tuesday alleges the tech giant took advantage of numerous U.S. tax loopholes and avoided U.S. taxes on $44 billion in offshore, taxable income between 2009 and 2012 — a characterization Apple flatly rejects.

The bipartisan Senate probe also charges for the first time that Apple’s long established foreign entities, based in Ireland, don’t actually have tax-resident status there or anywhere else. The company

Foreign Policy In Shambles: Obama Increased Foreign Aid 80% Since Taking Office – Terrorist Attacks Increase

Foreign Policy In Shambles: Obama Increased Foreign Aid 80% Since Taking Office – Terrorist Attacks Increase

Obama must have friends and supporters in foreign countries that need to have their pockets lined with free American money.

The unbelievably incompetent Obama administration has increased aid payouts to foreign countries by over 80% since taking office in 2008, while at the same time have allowed violent protests and terrorist attacks, aimed at America, to dramatically increased as well.

After years of ratcheting down the amount of money given away as foreign aid to countries that hate us, the United States was down to giving away $11.427 billion per year to foreign countries in international assistance programs, and today Obama has greatly increased this amount to $20.599 billion per year in 2011.

We would bet that the majority of this money is being misused, and that an investigation would show that the Obama White House has pulled strings to get the money to Obama’s foreign friends and cronies.

From fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2011, according to the U.S. Treasury, the federal government increased

Obama Administration Union Cronyism: 20,000 Non-Union Delphi Pensions Terminated by Democrats While Union Pensions Increased

Obama Administration Union Cronyism: 20,000 Non-Union Delphi Pensions Terminated by Democrats While Union Pensions Increased

The Obama administration has always played favorites with the Unions, but it’s shocking to see how non-union employees are mistreated by Obama’s goons.

The Obama administration actually terminated the pensions of 20,000 non-union pensioners during the Government Motors takeover, while the pensions were increased for pensioners who were members of the United Auto Workers union.

The corruption and crimes of this administration seem to be never-ending, and the unbelievable crap that the Obama administration has been caught pulling on the American People, and not been thrown out of office on his skinny ass is an amazement as well to many.

Emails obtained by The Daily Caller show that the U.S. Treasury Department, led by Timothy Geithner, was the driving force behind terminating the pensions of 20,000 salaried retirees at the Delphi auto parts manufacturing company.

The move, made in 2009 while the Obama administration implemented its auto bailout plan, appears to have been made solely because those retirees were not members of labor unions.

The

Obama Becomes 1st US President To Raise Debt $5 Billion

Obama has purposefully kept our economy in terrible shape so that there would be more support for the REAL liberal goal, which is to greatly increase the size and scope of the government, and to make as many people dependent on government handouts as possible.

Brain-Dead liberals always try and say how President Bush damaged our economy by overspending, but President Bush spent less in the 8 years of his two terms as President than Obama has spent in less than 3 years and not even one full term.

No matter how unqualified and corrupt Obama is, most brain-dead liberals will never acknowledge what the entire country knows, which is that Obama is the absolute worst president in US history, who has badly damaged our nation, and will take centuries of work by conservatives to repair.

In the 39 months since Barack Obama took the oath of office as president of the United States, the federal government’s debt has increased by $5,027,761,476,484.56.

Although he has served less than a term, Obama is now the first American president to see the

Obama Raises National Debt Over $15 Trillion

Obama has increased US debt to over $15 trillion

Obama has increased US debt to over $15 trillion

Thanks to the Obama administration’s out-of-control overspending, and dangerous liberal policies, the United States’ National Debt has now passed the $15 trillion mark!

Many people will try and say that President Bush is the reason for our out of control national debt, but the Obama administration has already spent more of our money, in one term than, President Bush spent in two terms.

When will the American People stand up to Obama and make him stop the payoffs and paybacks to his political friends and supporters?

The Financial Report of the United States, which applies corporate-style accrual accounting methods to Washington, showed the government’s liabilities exceeded assets by $14.785 trillion. That compared with a $13.473 trillion gap a year earlier.

However, the government’s net operating cost, or deficit, in the report dropped to $1.313 trillion for the year ended September 30 from $2.080 trillion the prior year, largely reflecting a drop in expected future payments under government pension programs.

“Restoring fiscal $1.313 trillion sustainability will require substantial additional changes, including tax
