“As California goes, so goes the nation”…Let’s hope not!!

There’s a saying that most of us have heard many times before, “As California goes, so goes the nation.” The saying is/was intended to recognize Californians for consistently being on the cutting edge of new developments in science, business and innovation.

Let’s hope that the current dire unemployment picture in California doesn’t end up sweeping the rest of the nation.

John, let us not be dependent on this blog for our personal direction in the marketplace. I am careful to maintain a bevy of sources, even though it is extra work managing email. Watch the markets Monday on a 60min. chart. If in afternoon trading they fall under their midday lows we will have formed an intra-day top. That could possibly signal a pullback.

If a tropical island is “pay dirt,” then let us be careful to steer clear of the reef, in search of a clear passage to a safe and prosperous harbor.

Wake Up America!!!

California is on the verge of bankruptcy and Our Government has yet to stop the invasion of illegal aliens.

Take a look at that always shining gem of political know-how, the state of California which is looking more like Mexifornia everyday and your state is next.

A List of 10 Facts Caused by the Illegal Invasion From the L. A. Times.

1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County are working for cash and not paying taxes. They are predominantly illegal aliens working without a green card and will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

4. Over 66% of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican Nationals here illegally and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegals and they will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

(There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County) The fact that California is on the verge of bankruptcy is just a coincidence right? It has nothing to do with illegal aliens, right? 60% of Americans agree that illegal aliens are the cause of this and they do NOT want them to be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

25 New illegal aliens JUST CROSSED our border while you are reading this and will be ELIGIBLE FOR FREE GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE.

Consider item 6 above: These illegal aliens are the ones that work in meat & vegetable processing plants, there are not that many garages that have toilets, showers, or running water facilities. Have you ever heard of Escherichia coli (E coli) and the number of people that get sick, hospitalized and die every year from contaminated food???

This is the kind of change Obama is rushing at break neck speed to impose on the 97% of Real Americans that work hard for a living. It is time to stand up for what the majority of Americans believe in a free America, where the government represents the people, not use them for their own gains.

If you do not get involved in trying to stop this governmental crime against its citizens then you will not be a free citizen for long. Contact Hussein Obama (NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN as required to be the president), your senators & representative and give them HELL!!!
