How Far Will People Go To Get What They Want?
And the obvious next question: How far does this have to go before your friends will believe what's really happening? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgWCAhytQuA&feature=player_embedded
Cracks In The Paradigm Widen
...but only among the general public. Only thinking outside the box will help. So far, no evidence this is happening to the degree required in Washington. The language used is "business-as-usual," "more government is the answer," "compromise." Nothing will change until the paradigm shatters. We will continue to compromise right up until it does. http://revolutionarypolitics.tv/video/viewVideo.php?video_id=15845 [...]
Bankster-In-Chief: “We Must Have More Debt!”
...and, of course, more taxes, because someone has to pay for all of this borrowing, you see. You debt slaves out there aren't deep enough in it yet. I can still see the tops of some of your heads. How the hell do you expect us to do a thorough asset-stripping if you still have [...]
I Don’t Care What The Polls Show
This isn't a democracy. Government by polls = democracy. Democracy = two wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for dinner. ===> Democracy = Where’s my free stuff? Yet, any understanding of the simple math of how a productive free market economy actually works, which is no longer taught in government schools (hmmm, [...]
Obama Likes The Gang Of Six; Can You Guess Why?
From Accounting Today: A bipartisan group of senators that has been meeting on and off for months to hammer out a budget deficit reduction plan appears to have reunited and gained support on both sides of the aisle for a plan to reduce the budget deficit by $3.7 trillion over 10 years. “The good news [...]
Must-Read Piece From Sultan Knish; What’s Really Going On Here?
I wish I could write like this, but alas..."Edge of the Spending New Frontier" Here's a teaser: ...it is the utopians and their economic policies who have forced their own moment to its crisis. Had Obama not won, they would have been able to comfortably sit back and blame Bush era policies for the mess. [...]
True Confessions
Stanton Samenow has worked with and written about criminals for decades. His book Inside the Criminal Mind is a good introduction to criminal psychology. Working with criminals who want to live as law abiding citizens, he addresses the lies they have accepted as truth. Some of these lies, such as “I won’t get caught” or [...]
Debt Limit Debate: What’s Really Going On?
Watching TV while eating lunch today inspired this rant. Relevant ideas for your consideration: The budget "cuts" are compounded over ten years, but the debt ceiling raise is just until it gets used up again. So when they talk about "$2 Trillion in cuts and $2 Trillion in debt ceiling increase" what they mean is [...]
Obama: “Americans Are Too Uninformed To Participate In The Budget Debate”
What arrogance; what ego. As a recruiting tool for Tea Party-minded folks, he's too good to be true. Your fence-sitting friends need to see this.
Republicans Cave; Debt Ceiling Will Be Raised
Bloomberg: "House Speaker John Boehner said he agrees that the U.S. debt limit must be raised and the government can’t be allowed to default on its debts, but he also said Democrats are not serious enough about trimming entitlement programs." I imagine the discussion at the White House went something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK-sSWkJUaQ&feature=related
Open Letter to Senator Warner
Senator Warner, In your recent column in the Washington Post "Opinions" page, you made an argument that we need to cut spending and raise revenue now in order to cut the deficit. You also said that the budget is 25 percent of GDP and revenue is 15 percent of GDP which are respectively too high [...]
Ding, Dong, The Witch Is Dead: Envisioning The Collapse Of The Federal Government
What will you do with your new-found liberty? Many of us will find it bracing and exhilarating. Many others will hate it with every fiber of their being. The basis for these very disparate reactions will be the same: you will be on your own. We had better be making provisions to save the Commonwealth [...]
