Republican's Want To Fix Their Broken Toy

Through the Bush Administration Republicans had control of the Presidency, The House, and The Senate. During that time they could (and did) pass any law they pleased and they did. They did everything they believed would lead to a strong economy. We got a train wreck. The economy went down the toilet because greedy people were allowed to do exactly what they please. Republicans assured the public that no one would willingly destroy their own businesses and financial security. They would play by the rules because it was in their financial interest. Well bad news they were WRONG. NEGLIGENTLY WRONG!
     People have forgotten that this economy is the result of closing your eyes and letting things happen (as Republicans still propose today). We got free trade, thanks to Newt Gingrich led us here. Then Two George Bush's watched as the economy glanced off a wall only to crash dead on into it. George Bush one was terrible for the economy and his son the idiot alcoholic borrowed us right into finacial Armageddon. Spending would have never been an issue if Bush had not borrowed us right out of our credit rating.
     The economists were wrong and are silent now. The fact is that neither people or their govenment can borrow to buy limitlessly. This is economics 100. No one can borrow more than they can afford to pay off, but they all did. We spent three trillion dollars on Two wars and it is piling up faster than we can pay the interest, but we can't get out of the middle east. Who would equalize the power in those areas. The U.S. knows, Al Queda backed by Packistan. Soon Packistan will fall into civil war due to the opposing views of it's people's. The radical Islamists on both sides will pick up guns and begin to fight each other. This will leave nuclear weapons in peril of being distributed to finatics. Hell, Pakistani's are finatics. We have seen it time after time. We will never get out of there.
     As the dollars we need to fix our economy get sucked out of our treasury by wars that will never end, we can't afford to do what needs to be done to create jobs. This is what Republicans don't want you to remember or think about. There is no economic growth here because buisiness doesn't need to hire people in this country to make Billions. Our jobs are now in china and india and a 100 other countries who won't or can't afford, to buy American made. Any way hardly anything they need is American made.
     There is no prospect of a recovery. The stock market is going down and it will not come back, the price commodities like gold and oil tell us that. People who have money won't put it in stock. Banks are teetering on the edge of failure. If Europe defaults they will not be paid back for tens of millions of dollars they lent. This will lead to bankruptcy for them, which is how we got that word. Banks went broke during the great depression. They will again but now they are huge banks and that will reak havoc on people in the middle and those who are about to retire. The real economic disaster is about to take place and Europe is where that will happen and President Obama can't stop that. The fact is that even Europe can't stop it. The clock is ticking and every finacial advisor has his money some where safe, is your safe.

Smoking: How to ban what you don't like.

Shipment of cocaine bricks confiscated by the ...Image via WikipediaOnce a person is addicted to any chemical it is impossible for them to quit and be around it with out wanting it. This is why ex-smokers want everyone else to quit. If the government worked this hard to keep illegal drugs off the streets we would be able to walk the streets in the city at night again.
     I quit smoking because i chose to quit. I would have kept smoking if I didn't decide to. At some point cigerettes will become like any other illegal drug and people will drive down the street to the dealers to buy them.
     Kids are not smoking but they are getting nicotine and using it. They buy the gum or electronic cigerrettes or probably ways I can not imagine at this point. I have heard kids say nicotine is the greatest drug and they will never stop using it. No one can legislate health or safety. People ski straight down the face of mountains. Race cars. Build planes out of parachute material. There will always be something to make illegal. The sad thing is that we are turning people into criminals because we don't like what they do. They cry is alway the children, but once they are adults they just become trash.
     People are spending there checks on cigerrettes and not paying for food for their kids. Yes you can push the price up to a hundred dollars a pack, but addicts can't stop, being addicted. I will always be addicted to cigerrettes, but I am not smoking even though I want to all the time. If anyone tells you different they are liar.
     The final part of this plan is simply to make cigerrettes illegal, but it will force it underground and create another market for illicit drug dealers. Are we prepare to add tobacco to the list of chemicals we are willing to pour billions of dollars into stoping the flow of. We can't stop Cocaine or heroin or meth right now. We tried this with alcohol and we got prohibition. We have gangs just as lethal as al cappone's in this country allready and more start every day. The prison are over filled now. They are releasing people to put other people in. It costs a a trillion dollars to pay for health care in the prison system. This is part of, what they call, the nondiscretinary spending.
     There are anti anything you can name groups and cigareetes are just the tip of the iceburg for people who want to control their neighbors because they can not control their anxiety and their owns circumstances without banning what they can't deal with. This started as a second hand smoke issue and has become what it was the the starttt a ban smoking movement and all smokers know this. They try to avoid smoking around people but that is not enough. They are being pushed slowly out of sight and it will go underground and the kids that smoke now will be the addicts of tomorrow and people will be saying send them to prison if they aren't allready.
                             Great going guys.

Muslims Are Unstable

Flag of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic RepublicImage via WikipediaConstant murders by Muslims and the actions of Muslim leaders in the middle east point to mental illness in the Muslim Community. Their violent nature indicates that they have a basic genetic instability that makes them extremely dangerous.
      Authorities must begin to examine the mental stability of Muslims in every walk of life  because their mental problems make them prone to commit violent acts. This is the problem that Western Countries face with people in the middle east who say they want democracy. There is just no way to know if these people  are mentally stable. This is also basically at the bottom of all the Republicans concerns about the President's religion. They will not say it overtly, but they question whether the Presidents heritage makes him unstable too. Of course the President is quite healthy mentally and it is more likely that the Republicans need the mental exam due to their violent leanings.
     One only needs to look at the case of Gabrielle Giffords to know how unstable the Republicans and their followers are. Their standard approach is to reach for a gun before they consider sitting down to talk.
     Still the Republicans can't be blamed for wondering if Muslims are mentally ill. We have witnessed several incidences of Afghani's snapping and murdering American soldiers. This type of behavior makes one wonder if there is not a defective gene at work. Perhaps they should be studied to see if they have some kind of genetic problem that makes them more likely to commit violent acts. Of course this story will probably result in some king of mass mental break down, which results in violence by Muslims around the world.

The National Debt

Official Portrait of President Ronald ReaganImage via Wikipedia The National Debt has sky rocketed because Republican presidents decimated jobs in The United States. With every Republican president from Reagan on, the middle class has watched it's jobs disappear. Free trade sent American jobs to Japan. Then to Korea, China and India. Every job that went over seas shrank the tax base in the U.S. until the government had to borrow to pay the bills that taxes had once covered.
     The U.S. lent Billions upon Billions of dollars to other countries and forgave their debt instead of collecting the money that had been lent. Tax payer money. When the government borrows, it borrows in your name. Republicans took us above the old debt limit and raised it. Their administrations account for over 10 trillion dollars in debt. Did Republicans care about you when they spent that money? Not hardly. They gave huge corporations tax breaks and allowed them to pay 0 tax on any money that they kept outside the U.S. If a tax payer does that it is tax evasion, but corporations can do that. They gave oil companies tax breaks to drill, so gas prices would stay low. Are your gas prices low? No! Because like everything the Republicans do it became a way to make them rich. Are you driving a limo? They are. They get tax free gas. They get free gas in Washington. I laugh at people who are not rich and are Republican, because they are dumb suckers. While the people they send to Washington are getting billions from big business, they think that the million dollars there town gets is a lot. The truth is, that is just what they spend on one commercial on network TV. Most Republicans are dumb ass hicks. They have no clue that the guy they sent to congress is set for life. Congress is a club and once you get in you get paid for life even if you screw everyone that voted for you, but Republicans have turned Congress into their own personal Swiss Bank accounts. They can raise Billions and if they don't get elected they get to keep it. Big oil and big business make sure that they get a ton of money to keep and when they don't get reelected, then they hire them. Do you see Carl Rove living next door to you? Hardly? Now there is no money to pay the bills because no one has a job. You can't collect taxes from people without jobs. Oh and where are those jobs? They are overseas, because that is what free trade is. Sending all the jobs over seas. How many people travel from India to eat in your restaurant. Not enough I bet. No jobs means no taxes which means a huge national debt. A huge national debt with no taxes means the dollar isn't worth a dime. The things you own are only worth what someone else will pay for it. That goes for the things that you sell too. No jobs means no one to buy it. Basically that means what you thought was worth something is worthless. That gold you bought, who is going to buy it. Who can afford it? Who will be able to afford it? As the cost of ever day living goes up, people can't afford as much, so there are less people to buy it. This is what happened with houses. When no one could afford houses any more, the suckers were left holding the houses. When no one can buy gold any more the suckers will own it. Who do you have to thank for all this? The Republicans, because they put the people who could buy your stuff out of work. Hope you have a restaurant in China, because that is where the buyers are.

Stock Market Will Tumble!

DJIA (19 July 1987 through 19 January 1988).Image via Wikipedia      Those who know the market, know that it will tank within a month or so. The increase in the cost of gas will force Americans into bankruptcy in unprecedented numbers. Working Americans have already begun to see negative balances in their budgets, but the price of gas is, without a doubt, going to rise to five dollars a gallon. The oil companies are determined to hit this bench mark and hold gasoline at that price.
      Five dollar a gallon gasoline will result in the liquidation of retirement accounts, so that Americans can maintain their current standard of living. The price of houses will drop sharply again, when already cash strapped home owners can no longer afford to stay in their homes.
     The sell off of homes and stock will result in a stock market crash that will make the crash in the twenties look like a slight dip. This will result from millions of shares going up for sale at the same time and over a prolonged period of time. The number of shares for sale will be greater than the demand for stocks and prices will plummet. The value of companies will not be able to hold the price of their stock to more than ten percent of it's value or less. The market may stabilize shortly as companies buy back their own stock, but this will be short lived. The hand writing is on the wall.

     2012 may not be the end of the actual world, but it will be the end of the financial world in America. Politicians will not prevent this crash because they know that the value of the dollar must be lowered, so that the U.S. can pay down the national debt. It is imperative that the debt be payed down so that the country can get out from under the enormous debt it has. Only massive rates of inflation will make it possible for the nation to do this. The price of gold, copper, silver, and platinum will rise, but the price of oil  and homes will actually fall because it will be to expensive for average Americans. This economic Tsunami will send stocks crashing around the world and countries that depend on American business or that hold American debt will be hit especially hard. Countries such as South Korea, Japan, and China, will feel the crunch especially hard when the demand for the products that they export dries up. Europe will be wracked by financial ruin as tourism evaporates.
     I predicted the recession that we entered in 2010 and I am warning you that this will dwarf it. It may be the worst economic crisis since countries began keeping economic statistics.

Republicans End Medicaire!

U.S. Medicare spending per capitaImage via WikipediaRepublicans will vote to end Medicare for people below the age of fifty-five. This move will commit the children of future seniors to pay for their parents medical insurance or leave them uninsured. The Republican move will directly result in the death of millions of senior citizens who's children are unable to pay the cost of medical insurance for their parents.
     Republicans have decided that ending senior health care and care for the disabled including former military personnel is better than ending huge multi billion dollar tax break for oil companies like BP. The Republicans wish to see seniors simply die and go away. They tried to pass legalized euthanasia of seniors and failed  so they will now reduce the senior population by denying them medical treatment. Veterans who receive Medicare benefits will lose their coverage in the proposal by the Republicans. The bottom line is that if you worked to build or defend this country you are now expendable.
     The elimination of Medicare will deny anyone who has paid into Medicare from ever collecting on it. Instead they will need to cash in their 401k's and IRAs to pay for their own health care when they retire and to pay for the health care of their parents. In a move meant to strip people of their financial independence Republicans have promised huge tax breaks to corporations and people who make over 1,000,000 dollars a year, paid for by what will be the end of the middle class in America and the end of health care for older members of their families.
     In addition to ending Medicare, Republicans will give the Medicare Tax to insurance companies and allow them to decide who and what they will cover. No health care will exist for some people over the age of 55 if an insurer decides that the person is to expensive to cover. This marks the end of Franklin Roosevelt's promise to take care of the people who built America. In a further move Republicans will eliminate care for the disabled including Veterans. It appears that Republicans can afford to sacrifice children in war, but can not afford to care for them when they come back injured. Veterans are a drain on the resources of the country according to Republicans and we can no longer afford to waste money on their health care.

Broken America

USA annual GDP from 1910-60, in billions of co...Image via WikipediaIn this time of economic hopelessness there are some things that people need to know about our government and our country.
     Republicans have pledged to cut billions from the U.S. budget and I think that we have all heard that most of the budget can't be cut. Why? The fact is that most countries in the world hate the United States, so in order to get any kind of cooperation from most countries the U.S. has to pay them. Both Republicans and Democrats know that we are paying billions of dollars, so that countries will not do things that are against our interest, or so that they will buy our products, or let our products be sold there, or to control who they allow to travel to our country. This is not a small amount of money it is 100 of billions of dollars. Add to that the billions we send to countries in weapons and humanitarian aide and the world is getting payed.
     The U.S. government and Congress know that we can no longer afford to pay these countries billions and billions of dollars, but they are being blackmailed by those same countries to continue paying. Neither the Government or the Congress have the guts to say no. They don't have the guts to tell countries that if they don't buy our goods we won't lat theirs into the United States. The government inability to say no to other countries has directly resulted in the flow of American jobs out of the United States.
     Companies that are based in the U.S. need to be able to stamp made somewhere else on their products so they can export them to other countries, because U.S. goods are not welcome in most countries in the world. These companies have moved the manufacturing of products to China, India, and Mexico, so they can stamp made in those countries on their labels. If they don't do that, they can't sell their products in other countries, because Made In America is not welcome there.
      The Depression we are having (it's not a recession), is directly linked to the fact that ours goods aren't allowed to be made here. American workers are out of work, because only Americans can buy goods that are truly Made In America. The fact is that since Americans can't buy enough junk, we have no economy. We can't manufacture our way out of this economic Apocalypse, because most goods are not made here. Our factories are not hiring here, because nothing is made here. Goods are being shipped directly to other countries, so they don't create jobs here. All the jobs that come from warehouses and shipping American goods will never come back because they don't exist any more. What the government doesn't want to tell you is that 13,000,000 people are Shit Out of Luck if they want to work. Those jobs are gone forever and retraining programs are only a way to cover that fact up.

The Republican Vision

Wesley Autrey at the State of the Union AddressImage via WikipediaThe Republican vision is the same insanity that sent every manufacturing job in the Midwest and on the east coast to China. There answer to the problem of no jobs is to allow companies to do whatever they want. Well, we saw what those companies wanted. They wanted to send our jobs to India, China, Thailand, Vietnam and Mexico. We watched this country bleed jobs overseas. Surprise there are no jobs. The tax breaks the Republicans gave them to send the jobs overseas had nothing to do with that, Right?
     It is amazing how articulate they can be when they lie to the country. They sold us out. Free trade allowed countries to send all their products here and make them some where else. It allowed other countries to dump products on us by the ship load around the clock, but what it did not do, is make those countries buy American Made Products. They fail to mention that all last year Korea bought less than 100 American cars. How many did they sell here. Look around. How many Hyundai's and Kia's do you see on the road. This the real deal behind free trade. Jobs for them and go screw yourself to American Products. The Republicans totally support this policy. Their donors are getting rich off it, while you are getting unemployed.
     The only thing that kept The United States from tanking was grow. That was fueled by your credit cards. You bought and businesses expanded. Now that you are trying to pay off your debt, there is no one to buy, because no other countries will let our products in. Republicans didn't see the amount of debt your house hold was in as a problem. They opposed lowering interest rates on credit cards. They still oppose that. They oppose anything that would put a dollar in your pocket. Millionaires however can get tax cuts at will. Corporations can send their money to countries where there is no income tax and pay no taxes. Can you do that? Yes you can? That's right you can avoid paying income tax on your your money. How? Become a Corporation/ You'll need to pay a fee and get a good accountant, but you can pay no taxes on money you make outside your job.
     Did the Republicans tell you that? Don't think so. It is a closely guarded secret. Bet your Congressman has done it and your Senator too.
     Yes those Republicans are on your side. They are going to cut the budget. First cut. Eliminate the Department of Education. Result your kids isn't getting financial aide for college. Get your wallet out, because you are paying the full ride when they done.

Democrat Shot! Are Republicans Responsible?

Perhaps today we have see the result of Republican hate speak. Democrat Gabrielle Gifford was gunned down in a town hall meeting. The second attack on her since Sarah Palin placed cross hairs on her district. It would seem that this was only a matter of time.
     Republicans have misused their right to "Freedom of Speech to create a unprecedentedly hostile atmosphere in the political scene. No matter how much they run away from their words they can not escape, at least some responsibility for the shooting of the Democratic Congresswoman. I have spoken before about the this issue in the past and I predicted that this would occur. Republicans denied that they were creating an atmosphere where people would get killed, but they continued their irresponsible attacks.
     It may be my opinion, but they may not have pulled the trigger, but they loaded the gun. I only hope that this will serve as a lesson to them to shut there mouths and do the business of The United States.
