Workers urged: Go home and multiply in Japan
TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- Even before one reaches the front door of Canon's headquarters in Tokyo, one can sense the virtual stampede of employees pouring out of the building exactly at 5:30 p.m.
In a country where 12-hour workdays are common, the electronics giant has taken to letting its employees leave early twice a week for a rather unusual reason: to encourage them to have more babies.
"Canon has a very strong birth planning program," says the company's spokesman Hiroshi Yoshinaga. "Sending workers home early to be with their families is a part of it."
Japan in the midst of an unprecedented recession, so corporations are being asked to work toward fixing another major problem: the country's low birthrate. At 1.34, the birthrate is well below the 2.0 needed to maintain Japan's population, according to the country's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
Keidanren, Japan's largest business group, with 1,300 major international corporations as members, has issued a plea to its members to let workers go home early to spend time with their families and help Japan with its pressing social problem.

$200+ Million in Condoms?
I don't know about stimulating the economy but I do know what it will stimulate! I couldn't help myself. It gives a whole new meaning to the term "Stimulus Package".
PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMY
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
boldly defended a move to add birth
control funding to the new economic
"stimulus" package, claiming "contraception
will reduce costs to the states
and to the federal government." Pelosi, the
mother of 5 children and 6
grandchildren, who once said, "Nothing in my life
will ever, ever compare to
being a mom," seemed to imply babies are somehow a
burden on the treasury.
The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on
ABC's THIS WEEK.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning
services. How is that stimulus?
PELOSI: Well, the family planning
services reduce cost. They reduce cost.
The states are in terrible fiscal
budget crises now and part of what we do for
children's health, education
and some of those elements are to help the states
meet their financial
needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned,
the
contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal
government.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?
PELOSI: No
apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the
downturn in our
economy.
I have some contradictory information about this and I have done the Math to prove it. Less babies born is not the answer. I know this has nothing to do with condoms but it does show how low birth rates are devistating. Regardless on what you believe about abortions the following is an aspect you probably never considered...
Abortion is more than medical or right to life.
There are plenty of posts about these kinds of things.
I would like to point out what should be obvious.
If we continue at this current rate it will affect all of us.
THIS AFFECTS EVERY PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE ARE OVER 3,700 ABORTIONS PER DAY IN THE USA ALONE.
THAT MAKES OVER 135,000 PER YEAR!
IN 60 YEARS (RETIREMENT AGE) THAT IS OVER 8,103,000 UNBORN.
THAT MEANS OVER 8 MILLION UNBORN TAX-PAYERS.
IF WE AVERAGE INCOME TAXES PAID TO BE ABOUT $6,000 EACH
WE WOULD HAVE A TOTAL OF $48,618,000,000 IN INCOME TAX ALONE.
WE WOULD HAVE A TOTAL OF $316,017,000,000 IN AVERAGED STATE SALES TAXES.
93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient)
1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest
6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child
IN EUROPE they have aborted and reduced birth rate so much that they can no longer survive on their population anymore.
Europe had to immigrate millions of people into there population to stabilize there drop in birth rates.UPDATE: The day after Nancy Pelosi says she wants to spend tax money on condoms, Democrats are talking about getting Obama to sneak it out of the legislation without letting her know. Obama and other supporters don't want the public looking into the stimulus package and seeing all of the waste and tripe. Pelosi is a very powerful person in Washington so everyone is afraid to just come out and say "No way".

They Know Not What They Do.
The following iformation was gathered after the election in which they found 500 people that voted for Obama and asked them questions and this is the results.
John Zogby recently polled 500 Obama voters,
55% of whom have a college degree and 90% of whom have a high-school diploma.
Zogby asked 12 multiple-choice questions.
A measly 2.4% got at least 11 correct, and a practically invisible .5% aced the questionnaire.
As for the rest, via Hot Air:
57.4 could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)
81.8 could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)
82.6 could NOT correctly say that Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)
88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)
56.1 % could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).
And yet…..Only 13.7% failed to identify Palin as the person their party spent $150,000 in clothes
Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter,
And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her “house,” even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!
Obama supporters get their information from quick sound bites from the media. They listened to and followed like sheep the mission of the media... "Get Obama elected as President. Be a part of History. Don't let it be said that you did NOT vote for the first Black President".
God Save the Republic (More on that later).

Not Historic (or Liberals are Racist)
Obama's Presidency is NOT historic. There have been thousands of black leaders in the world before him. The media and the sheep that they lead can only remember back a few years. Along with their short term memory they totally ignore the rest of the world like it doesn't exist. For instance if I mention the word "Paris" the first thing most Americans think of is "Paris Hilton". Less than 20% of Harvard Students know who "Putin" is! I bet they all know who Ashton Kutcher is.
Within the borders of the United States the previous 43 President have not had black as part of their multiracial ethnicity. This is what the media and its follower are calling "Historic"? I can't even believe that RACE is an issue. I can't believe how racist the media and most Americans are that they have to make such a big deal about half of this mans race! I know white people that voted for him because he is black. There are over a million people showing up in DC for this "Historic Event" because he is half black. It is almost as if the Liberals are using this as one big fat apology to the black race. After all it was the Democrats that voted AGAINST freedom for blacks in the first place.
Do you know what I just realized? This is "Historic" after all. This will be the first Communist voted into office by citizens of a free republic.
Obama Counterfeiting Hitler
In 1942, German intelligence officers rounded up skilled Jewish prisoners and launched Operation Bernhardt, a clever scheme designed to counterfeit hundreds of millions of dollars worth of British Pounds and destroy the British economy by flooding it with counterfeit money. Located in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, Operation Bernhardt was, even by modern standards, a runaway success that resulted in the creation of forged bank notes worth 132 million British Pounds. It is important to note that Operation Bernhardt was an act of war, specifically pursued for the purpose of destroying Britain's economy by creating so much new money that the value of the money already in circulation would plummet.
What does all this have to do with the Federal Reserve?
Has the Fed declared war on the working class?
If the actions pursued by the Federal Reserve were being masterminded by Al-Qaeda, they would be denounced as acts of war. In World War II, such actions were deliberate acts of war. Targeting the economy for destruction by flooding the money supply with counterfeit currency is, by any measure, a threat to any nation. So why is the Federal Reserve engaged in actions that, if committed by other nations, would warrant a military response? This is not an idle question. I'm not asking this in a satirical way. I'm quite serious about this: Why is the Fed committing acts of economic warfare against the United States of America? (The Federal Reserve, by the way, is a private company. It is not, as you've been led to believe, part of the U.S. government.) The answer is obvious. You've probably already figured it out: The Federal Reserve is at war with America. It's an economic war, of course, not a bombs-and-bullets war. The casualties, though, are just as real: Savings accounts, retirement funds, bank accounts, jobs, businesses, pensions and much more.
What war? The war between the wealthy elite and the working class. The Fed is working hard, of course, to protect the wealthy elite. Over a trillion dollars of taxpayer money has already been earmarked to bail out the rich, elite bankers who lost other people's money in a series of idiotic bets on fictitious financial instruments.And what are these bankers doing with this taxpayer money? According to an Associated Press report published yesterday, executives of the failed insurance company AIG were sent on a $440,000 retreat "to a posh California resort" less than one week after the U.S. government bailed them out. At the spa, AIG executives enjoyed spa treatments, massages, organic food buffets and bodywork therapy, all while the American taxpayers footing the bill were slaving away in real jobs, doing real work. Want to see the invoice for yourself? **
Acts of economic terrorism?
The Federal Reserve is now doing to the U.S. what the terrorists could never have accomplished: Yet, amazingly, it wasn't "terrorists" who put this plan into place. Who was it, exactly? Your Congressional representatives played an important role in allowing this to happen. In a grand, historical betrayal of the American people, members of your own U.S. House of Representatives and Senate voted to initiate a massive economic coup in America, violating the wishes of 99% of the American people (who are aligned against bailing out the rich on the backs of the poor). Of course, to hear them explain it, their actions are meant to save the taxpayers. Yep, that's their plan: To save YOU, the taxpayer, by confiscating your money and handing it over to the wealthy elite. And whatever money can't be stolen from the taxpayers will be counterfeited by the Fed's money-creation machine.
In this economic bailout and the Fed's unlimited creation of new money, America has suffered the greatest act of economic warfare in our nation's history. Note carefully that it wasn't conducted by the Nazis, Saddam Hussein or Al Qaeda. It was, in fact, put into place by 172 Democrats and 91 Republicans in the House, and a similar majority in the U.S. Senate. (See the complete list below.)
