Weeper of the House

The new Speaker of the House (R) John Boehner will open new levels of transparency in the 112 Congress .



Citizens will soon be able to log on to CSPAN Congressional Telecast to witness John Boehner's emotions. John's state of composure being used as the current model for State of The Union. Teary eyed would indicate a arise in taxes for people making more than $400,00 a year. Chocked with tears could result in another TARP giveaway to Bankers. Swine markets have tightened the belts of Bush's Masters of Pork Barrel. The daytime TV Soap Operas are bracing for a big drop in viewers with the Boehner competition.



The question on everyone mind is whats he crying about?
He's got a job,($223,500) health care paid, unbelievable full retirement ($60,972 avg) and considerably overpaid. This does not include money from Tobacco Lobby. Kleenex is reported to be considering John as their new national advertising program "A Hanky for a Yankee" spokesman.




Boehner a self described conservative is Pro Tobacco and hand picked to distribute checks from Tobacco Lobby on the floor of the House of Representatives in 1995.


Note: a conservative is against all spending but, favors giving TARP money away. Awards No-Bid contracts to contractors for imaginary aggression of Arab Nations. John Boehner voted for the Bush TARP bailouts on October 3, 2008. Some people continue to reject conservatives with Free TARP for Bankers, GM and Fiat. In their defense, they respond with the $4.oo a gallon gasoline in 2007 as proof of their love of capitalism. Capitalism is for the greedy not the needy. The Buckeye State has also spent $7,874,070,000 of Obama Stimulus Money without a whimper of conservatism.



Boehner is against extensions of unemployment and favors cutting Social Security benefits. Both unemployment and Social Security appear as deductions from your paychecks. John's position is "even though the money is yours GM and Goldman need it more".




In spite of Ohio's high unemployment of 10.5%, well above the national average and home foreclosures not seen since the Great Depression the people of Ohio's 8th Congressional District continue to Re-Elect The Tan Man.





John says he weeps for Americas Children that they may have the opportunities he was given. He weeps for children but the pork all goes to GM, Fiat, Goldman, Citi, AIG and the children they go to Afghanistan when their eighteen. The children sleep in the streets as the Dirty Dozen Banksters hoard their homes with TARP money for resale in better markets.





The conservatives run to the aid of the Car Czars and Bankster bolstering the Stock Market and Housing as wages plummet in illegal immigration and skyrocketing unemployment. This is not the America that John Boehner was given. John's former college janitors job is now performed by illegal free ranging aliens. Tough to work your way through college competing with illegal aliens, John.



The Dream Act provides scholarship money for illegals now competing with law abiding American Children. The world is flush with deserving smart children. In America we say American Children first.


Maybe John's concern is for Mexican Children illegal in the US. 60 Minutes Lelie Stahl should have asked " Do you weep in Mexican or English Mr Speaker................

The Viagra Economy

There are rumblings on the wires of a second stimulus and third bailout are coming. Claims are made, the sales of stocks of Citi Bank, AIG, etc have made money for the US Treasury. Grease to spin the wheels of Congress no doubt. We can expect more rhetoric from Washington of how to create jobs in America. More noble narratives of telling America it's raining while pissing on your leg.

More socialism 2big2fail for the Banksters and Oligopoly Corporation and less freedom for the capitalist workers forced to live in tyranny under The Patriot Act.

Offering the sugar rush of more borrowed debts to stimulate Americas long dead economy. Life support that only turns the wheels of greed, while Congress defiles the worker with "Sober up or Sleep in the Streets".

If we profited so well from giving TARP money away, why do we need to raise our debt ceiling and borrow more money from China. Relax if loaning money to yourself is a profitable form of commerce then we can all quit working and just borrow money. Similar to the Bush Housing Market where nobody paid we just borrowed today for tomorrows that never come.

Has China become the company store? Are we being forced to buy Windmills from China to get Yens for fiance? How can we become independent buying Chinese Junk? Does borrowing money from China to build factories in China really put Americans back to work? Are we addicted to be dependant on the Chinese little blue pills?



One day were broke and told to "Sober up or sleep in the streets" The next day the Treasury announce we made money from TARP. Is it premature to declare victory until all the money is repaid and then adjusted to inflation numbers? Should we be so naive?



If America becomes independent from foreign oil buying windmills from China aren't we going from the fryer and into the fire. Are our leaders interested in creating jobs in America or do they simply cycle our money through the economy to attach fees, permits and bribery to fill their greedy pockets.



We don't have a economy. It's time to stop this nonsense and attach tariffs to foreign products until we achieve a trade balance with each country individually. When we have a trade balance then we should have free trade restrictions lifted.

If our exports fall and the world tumbles into depression at least we all suffer equally and have a chance to rebuild Free Market Capitalism without the 2big2fail Socialism Oligarchy

Windmills Of Your Mind

Here's a good reason not support the Democratic Party. The Obama Administration who campaigned on providing High Paying Green Energy Jobs for Americans has agreed to pay the Chinese shown with Harry Reid 450,000,00 dollars of borrowed Stimulus Money to build a Wind farms in Texas.

This action violates every aspect of the Obama Pledge to bring new green energy jobs to American workers. Clean energy jobs leading us back to prosperity. Stopping the exports of jobs while investing in America. Seems as though we didn't read the fine print as to "which country he intended to improve"

The money from the Stimulus and Recovery Act is borrowed from the Chinese. The Chinese will seize the opportunity of foolish Americans to employ more Chinese Workers build new cutting edge factories and further their Research and Development for new Universities in China. They will also operate the Windfarm in Texas to insure even modest American jobs will not be created.

Maybe we should pack up the Statue of Liberty and send it as part of the deal. How long will it be before Americans immigrate to China to provide slave labor building Railroads in China.

See report below:

By Russ Choma

Investigative Reporting Workshop, American University Investigative Reporting Workshop, American University

WASHINGTON — Top Democratic fundraisers and lobbyists with links to the White House are behind a proposed wind farm in Texas that stands to get $450 million in stimulus money, even though a Chinese company would operate the farm and its turbines would be built in China.

The farm’s backers also have close ties with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who, at the height of his hard-fought re-election bid this fall, helped blunt congressional criticism over stimulus dollars possibly going to create jobs in China by endorsing a proposal by the Chinese company to build a factory in his home state. Although his campaign received thousands of dollars in donations from the wind farm’s backers and Reid stood on stage with them at a campaign event they hosted, his office declined to answer any questions about the wind farm’s organizers or their plans for Nevada.The wind farm, first announced more than a year ago, would consist of 300 2-megawatt wind turbines, each perched atop a 26-story-tall steel tower and spinning three blades — each half the length of a football field. The farm would span three counties and 36,000 acres in West Texas land best known for its oil. Dubbed the Spinning Star wind farm, the project’s 600-megawatt capacity is, theoretically, enough to power 180,000 American homes and would be the sixth-largest wind farm in the country.

It is being planned by an unusual joint partnership between the U.S. Renewable Energy Group, a Dallas investment firm with strong ties to Washington and the Democratic Party, and A-Power Energy Generation Systems, an upstart Chinese supplier of wind turbines. Filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission indicate the Chinese are bringing financing and the turbines.

1964

I was reminded this morning that we recognize December 8, 1980 as the day John Lennon was murdered in New York. When I think of John, I think back to the British Invasion of 1964. The Indiana State Fair would host the Fab Four in August 1964.

America Graffiti was the Soup of the Day in 1964. Drive In Movies and Drive In Restaurants were common. A&W Root Beer was a favorite. The Beer was the best and the food was brought right to your car. The car was a important part of the culture. Eating in the car was messy even though the food was very good.

If you weren't around in 64 you missed the greatest party ever.On Sunday night we had Walt Disney and Bonanza TV broadcast in color. Television was mostly Black and White. Nobody in my neighborhood had a color TV. We had four channels of free TV. No Cable!!
Color TV tubes were all manufactured in Indiana. The fathers of the kids who lived in my neighborhood all worked in factories of Central Indiana. Western Electric made every telephone in America at the East side Indy plant. Phones were mostly black and most people only had one line. Party Lines were common and cheaper if on a budget. You could not own a phone. You rented phones and lines. Then paid for long distance calls. Long distance could be across the street.

Chrysler had several plants in Indiana making Engine Blocks, Power Steering and Ignition Parts.When the plants changed shifts at Western Electric, Chrysler, International Harvester, Naval Avionics and the Ford Plant you could guarantee grid lock for thirty to forty minutes.

The intrastate highway system had not come to Indiana in 64 but, we had seen plans for how it would work. I'm not sure what they built at the Ford Plant but, it was a huge new plant that also worked three shifts. Naval Avionics was a big secret. They employed lots of people building the Polaris Missile Systems for the Navy.

We had an International Harvester Truck because they had a factory in Indianapolis near the Beech Grove Am Track Rail Yards. Indianapolis was a huge a Rail center also. RCA was another big employer in Indianapolis and we always bought RCA products because it was good for our local economy, same as our truck.

Over on the West side Indy's landscape was swamped in The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Allison Transmission and Detroit Diesel. They made truck engines and parts for the drives that carried the Atlas Rocket from VAB to the Launch Pad at Kennedy Space Center. In 69 it would put men on the moon.

On the South Side of Indy was Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals. They worked three shift as well. Chevrolet Plant downtown stamped out truck bodies 24 hours a day. Downtown Indy was home to countless Insurance Companies most located on Meridian Street.

On the North side was Dow Chemical and Marathons Rock Island Refinery that refined petroleum from the Texas to New York buried pipeline. Indy was a big union town and people were paid well. The wealth was spread evenly. Our system was dependant upon everyone buying each others products. It worked well. We had rich people but we also had a strong middle class. All this on top of the agriculture from farms in Indiana's rich soil. Ironically much of Indiana's growth came from Natural Gas discoveries that were now exhausted. Cheap energy equals great prosperity as far as I can see. We enjoyed a forty hour work week where one income supported the entire family. We had Family Values in America

I did some checking and found some other facts from 1964

1. New Mustang first year MSRP $2,368.00

2. New Buick Rivera $4,385.00

3. New Cadillac starting $6,471.00

4. New Corvette Sting Ray $4,037.00

5. Federal Debt 316 Billion Dollars. ( a dollar was worth much more in 64)

6. New Home $20,000.00

7 Gasoline 0.30 cents a gallon.

8. Milk 0.95 cents a gallon

9. Inflation Rate 1.2%

10. Unemployment Rate 5.7% nationally

Other facts from 1964

1 Martin Luther King was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway

2. Congress passed The Civil Rights Act and the 24th amendment to the US Constitution and recognizes Bourbon as a distinctive US Product.

4. Jimmy Hoffa convicted of Jury Tampering

5. Ranger 7 sent back new pictures of the moon.

6. First year for the Mustang, GTO, Stingray, Rivera, Studebaker Avanti and 426 Hemi. Volkswagon startled the industry with an even larger rear window in the Bug.

7. The USS Maddox was attacked in the Gulf of Tomkin and the Carriers USS Ticonderoga and USS Constellation launched attacks against North Vietnam.

8. Plans were released for the proposed World Trade Centers in New York, New York.

I would turn 14 years old in 1964 and foolishly believed that this was the American Standard. Things began to change in 1973. America evidently was outta gas. The Arabs formed OPEC which means they charge as much as the markets will bear for gasoline. Careful not to kill the market but, forcing out other fuels in the economic sweet spot. We were addicts to gasoline. Some Americans became wealthy dealing in foreign Crude Markets. Wealthy at the expense of everyone else. Much the same as Banksters operate today. Bank in 1964 could only operate in one county due to regulations. There wasn't any intrastate banking in America. 2big2fail was not permitted. The Depression Generation was still alive and Banks were regulated in memory of the painful dirty thirties. The boomer generation was warned over and over how lucky we are.

Consumers purchased small economy cars in the 70's. Cars made in Japan were in strong demand and the American Automobile was in jeopardy. Factories began closing, first layoffs then shuttered. In the Eighties Reagan deregulated the Banks and AT&T and Western Electric closed. Western Electric and Chrysler Plant are now cut into small pieces rented as warehouse space. Steel Mills were imploded to eliminate property taxes. The Rust Belt was born.

Many people migrated South to Florida. Florida was booming in Condo Construction and Projects like Disney World. Orlando became a boom town.

President John Kennedy was killed in November of 1963. He is remembered for many challenges. He challenged us to put a man on the moon in ten years. He said all of man's problems were man made and therefore could be fixed by man.

Everything that was here in America in 1964 is still here. Many of the factories are a mere turn key from operations again. Americans haven't been beaten, we gave up. We chose to take advantage of cheap foreign labor markets that thrive in governments without workers rights or environmental standards.

Capitalism markets lumber with the costs of cutting the trees and sawing into boards. It does not consider the cost of replacing the trees. As trees are felled the remaining trees escalate in value. Vast wastelands appear from the missing trees. Soil erosion is not their problems.

When America created the Rust Belt we witnessed the immediate effect of lost jobs. We did not see the long term effects coming.

What we lost in the exchange is decay of society. Little Leagues are replaced with strip clubs. Jobs are gone but so is the research and development plowing the fields for the next generation. Schools are not funded and Colleges become dependant upon the Government instead of the Middle Class that sent their children to Colleges. The sword has two edges and cuts both ways as foreign manufacturing begins to establish their middle classes in fierce global competition.

Families are unable to nurture their children in the estuary of the middle class. Fathers cannot support their own children and the government cannot instill family values because they refuse to Value Families.

Children in schools fail to learn not because they aren't smart enough. America is failing families who once taught their children. Schools are not sanctuary from the systems that deprive children of the nurturing that every living life needs. It's not the building or the teachers failing America, it's greed that destroying test scores in math and science. America is losing it's leadership role in the world because of the absent nurturing the middle class provided in American Graffiti

BB-63

On December 7, 1941 the Empire of Japan attacked without provocation Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The attack destroyed the American Fleet of Battleships and threw the balance of power in the Pacific Rim in favor of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

The motivation of Japan was America without a Navy would negotiate peace and effectively give them control of the Pacific Islands.

The death toll taken nearly 70 years ago was 2,402 servicemen killed on a bright sunny Sunday morning 8:00 am.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared "This Day Which Will Live in Infamy". The America resolve began the construction of the Sleeping Giant that would destroy the Empire and change the world order in the process. On December 8, 1941 America declared War over negotiate. The war effort was the responsibility of all Americans who would work in unison to defeat the Japanese.
One of these efforts was BB-63. On January 6, 1941 the keel was laid for the USS Missouri BB-63 ( Mighty Mo) Mighty Mo was the last of the Iowa Class Battleships built in World War 2. She followed the USS New Jersey, USS Wisconsin and USS Iowa.

The Iowa Class Battleships were 867 ft of American Bad Attitude. The people at the Brooklyn Shipyard had no idea the significance they would play in the history of the world. They worked on her every day for 3 years and 23 days. BB 63 at this point was just one more piece of American Iron destined to fight those who attacked Pearl Harbor.

What secures BB-63 in history is she would be the ship chosen to sail into Tokyo Bay and become the platform that the Emperor of Japan would surrender. All those who sailed her and all those who built BB-63 now had a big piece of American Pride.

BB-63 was a small piece of inventory and yet became so important. The Iowa Class ships were not as big as Japans Battleship Yamato. The Guns of BB-63 were not as large as the Yamato but, Mighty Mo was part of the Battle Group of Ships that would sink the Yamato on April 7, 1945.

Size counts, but Radar proved to be the American Technology that sank the Japanese Navy.

The 66 foot long sixteen inch guns from the Brooklyn Shipyard would hurl 2700 lbs shells a distance of 24 miles at Iwo Jima, Okinawa and later steel yards on mainland Japan. The craters left would be fifty feet across and twenty feet deep.

BB-63 would sail into Tokyo Harbor September 2, 1945 with only a dent from a Jap Kamikaze who attacked her. Still today the only damage ever scored on Mighty Mo. She carried General Mac Arthur, Admiral Chester Nimitz and Admiral Halsey into destiny with the Emperor of Japan.
The Emperor of Japan would sign total surrender to the Iron Will of the American People and the brave emissary servicemen who witnessed the event for the Great Land who built BB-63

She was retired in 1955 after Korea missing the Vietnam War. In 1984 BB-63 was recommissioned and refitted with new firepower and electronics additions. She became a part of the 600 ship Navy that would end the Cold War. The sweet sixteen inch guns would again hurl shells at enemies Libya and Iraq. BB-63 never lost a battle or a war. The steel in her hull was tempered with the resolve of those who built her. Now a floating museum on display. Her guns now as silent as the great people who built and sailed BB-63 into history.

"Sober Up or Sleep in the Streets" Alan Simpson

The Mid- Term Elections have barely passed. In some areas the votes are still being contested. The constant stream of candidates TV commercials are gone. The promises from incumbents, things will soon improve and the great solutions of the newly elected have passed into full blown panic. All this and in only thirty days.

Fear not, things are not much worse. The wheels fell off years ago! Our country is in the same poor condition as thirty days ago. Thirty days ago American voters were being wooed to vote based upon fairy tales that ignored the truth. I hope you didn't believe their election crap. Those in Washington are now merely spinning the truth to prepare for the next election.

Our position is dire, we're broke and the solutions of TARP, Recovery Act, Financial Reform, Obama Care and Bankster Bailouts for The New York Casino have not created a single job. Lowering the Prime Interest rate to zero, Cash for Clunkers and Free Mortgage Money haven't put people back to work. More people who once worked are now living in poverty.

When people go back to work they contribute to the wealth rather than burden the debt. The same people who caused the debt are now screaming we need to be fiscally responsible. The people who spent our money on bailouts now expect Americans to sacrifice and do without to take up the slack in the debt.

Senator Alan Simpson tells us to "Sober up or sleep in the streets" because things are going to get worse. If "Sober up or Sleep in the Streets" was the Republican platform I don't remember the slogan. I think everyone in America should work to make sure Alan Simpson sleeps in the streets with us. Alan Simpson has forgotten whom he works for and answers to. We all remember the infamous Queen of France quoted when the peasants were out of bread, " Let Them Eat Cake". Marie Antoinette was later imprisoned and her head cut off in the guillotine. A bit over the top I'd say or off the top might be better.

Surprisingly, I agree with Alan Simpson let those who caused the problem " Sober up or sleep in the Streets". This is exactly what all Americans wanted when the Banksters were Bailed Out with Bush TARP.

Americans said let GM and Fiat go under. Let them "sleep in the streets" we said. Now we come face to face with the double standard that allows privilege to some while the people who do the heavy lifting in the military and workforce are told to" sober up and sleep in the streets". I only wish we had enough money to get as intoxicated as Congress and Senator Alan Simpson.

Maybe Bush TARP, Obama Care, Financial Reforms and Two Wars were not a pathway to prosperity but a path to poverty.

Our predicament of our Nation is not a product of bad luck. Winning the Cold War was not good luck. Our present situation is the product of our past decisions. We've made mistakes and we are paying for those mistakes.

The task for the voters at this point is to also prepare for the next election. The failed platform of the Obama Administration and the Bush years are behind us. We won't get another chance to fix America until 2012. Basically, I'm sayin start planning for 2012 and write off the next 2 years as a mistake.

We need jobs. America is the worlds largest consumer. Therefore we already have the hard part of any economy solved. We simply need to return to making our own products. American Made is now a big part of our National Security. We cannot continue buying products overseas. Returning Veterans deserve high paying jobs for their service to America.

The US energy problem should be our highest priority and solved first. It's no secret China is ahead of the US in Alternate Energy. The Three Gorges Dam in China is the kind of solution to Americas Energy needs. Building new sources of energy in the US must be on a scale comparable to Three Gorges Dam. Some solutions would be fifty new Nuclear Plants across the nation. Not in ten years either. Next year is 2013. Who can we elect to create millions of jobs and score Enegry Independence simultaneously.

Forty years ago I worked building new factories to produce American Products in the heartland. RCA, Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler, International Harvester, Western Electric and Marathon Refinery are now all gone. Vanished with the jobs and wealth they created. Restore the American Middle Class and most of our problems will vanish.

My Too Cents

You know, I like toll roads. Pay as you go and only pay as needed. No gas tax. No License Tags. No taxes on tires. Just pay for your use on the road according to the size and weight of your car.

The logic here is why must we have thousands of workers employed in collecting revenue for the same objective. All we need is one person or machine to collect money to pay for our fine roads.

I see the problems as not in the road quality. The real problem is in the accountability in the systems of tax collection for quality roads. Pay as you go toll roads would be an inconvenience to the user, however the efficiency of maintaining our roads will sky rocket. Insuring the most bang for your buck through real cost controls. Tracking the receipts and expenditures is simple for toll roads. We shouldn't need teams of CPA's to tell us where our money is spent. We do need to streamline the way we collect taxes. Roads not used get no funding. Roads traveled receive more money and expansion as needed. The analogy for toll roads may be extreme to the right but, our current systems of collecting money for our roads is a wasteful extreme to the left. We have people collecting for gas tax, federal, state, county, and city . That's a lot of people doing the same thing. Buy a battery or tires, more people. It's insane!!

The Florida Turnpike is a great road and everyone is impressed with the upkeep, safety and cleanliness. I would support a federal license for your car but not a 6"x 12" plate for all to see. A federal licenses for driving would be acceptable as long as it wasn't used for anything but driving records. The registration would be to establish ownerships and insure the tax is paid for interstate travel. States could issue temporary fees for visitors. If adjoining states established reciprocation for State roads that would be OK.
I think people should be responsible for their driving. If you cause an accident then you should pay to repair the other persons car and medical bills. You should not be required to purchase Auto Insurance, cuze we know they never pay. Insurance is for people who enjoy waiting in line and filling out endless paperwork. If you cannot pay then you would forfeit your license and auto. Remarkably that is how we did it forty years ago. People who don't pay are handled in courts. Bankruptcy is an option. Mandatory Auto Insurance is for Joe Stalin.
Now we have mandatory insurance and nobody can afford it cuze their crooks. The state will take your license, tags and jail for not paying your premiums. If your not familiar with this law, eventually you will get to a point where premiums cannot be paid and receive the bad news from your Governor. A good business model today is to have Congress make your products mandatory and threaten with incarceration. This pretty much makes you a quasi monopoly and guarantees huge salary ($24,ooo,ooo) and bonuses ($1,000,000) for your business savy
Florida is being sued for selling Operator's Permit Information to private sector uses.
This information includes your retirement information from the embedded Social Surveillance Number on your State Operator's License. You may not see it but it's there. The importance of the information must be valuable or criminals wouldn't pay for the bribery.

I also like the idea if you don't vote you don't pay any taxes. I think everyone should serve their country. Young, Old, Handicapped should serve 4 years. Starting today. When called to service you serve your country in any number of ways. Possibly collecting money at the toll booth? This way we are all eligible for health care and access to education systems. Everyone would have the same health care and retirements of Congress. I never understood how people without health care or retirement plans provide same for Congress. Makes no sense at all.
Another thing that really burns me is Homeland Security and TSA Workers. Let the Airlines provide security for their planes. The whole cost of the security should be paid by the Airline via ticket prices. This will cause ticket prices to increase ten fold or about what it was before President Reagan's Deregulation. I don't fly and never will. I don't see why I should provide subsidy to those who fly. We provide Airports and the use of the Port is charged for each landing, takeoff and ticket counters. People who fly should pay all costs. People who drive should pay for roads.
I think that schools should be administered locally and without federal intervention. You pay for the schools in your neighborhood and kids walk to schools. Colleges should be open to everyone regardless of age or intelligence. If you have the money and want to take and receive college credits then nobody should be denied. The days of one lifelong occupation are gone. People live longer and technologies are the doorway to new occupations. If you have children when your twenty then you should be accepted at thirty or forty to enter college. We need federal standards for curriculum and minimum standards. No bogus degrees from Matchbook University. No discrimination based upon education. Requiring a four year degree from college should be replaced with a comprehensive test that all are eligible. Proving competency over degrees allows people who already do the job from experience get paid the same as a college graduate in Zoology.
We need to get our government out of our Banking. The Banks have become the unconstitutional forth branch of government. Swiss Banks are separate from the government for five hundred years without incident. We have the FDIC which insures nobody can steal your money except Congress. The criminal have all gone to work for the government. I could never understand how people could get rich in Banking without stealing. I think they do steal and Congress makes it legal.
I think our elected official should be held accountable to the economy. If unemployment is 10% and poverty rate is 14% then Congress should see a 24% reduction in their paychecks. This would give them an incentive to grow up and act adult.
We know there's allot of waste in government and you can witness the abuse at every Post Office and License Branch. Recently we find the USDA was confronted with accused racism and followed through firing an individual without due process. The actions were found to be those of incompetency when facts of racism were dispelled. The person accused of racism was fired the incompetent was allowed to stay. The taxpayer is told, perceived racism is not tolerated but incompetency is acceptable. A few months later 2 thousand people contracted salmonella poisoning missed by USDA and FDA. Racism should not be allowed on a level playing field. Racism is not the work of USDA. We have people at the Justice Department that are also not working and should be the cop on the beat. Justice Department is not involved in rotten eggs as yet. The Justice Department is also failing miserably at controlling our borders and immigration. Same story there. They seem more concerned about profiling than controlling the borders. We have our priorities second to minorities and nobody is working!!!

Thing are worse at the Treasury Department where people at SEC downloaded pornography while the criminal raided the Stock Markets. These clowns at SEC were college graduates dragging down $250,000. a year in compensation. So much for higher education Mr President!

At the Department of Interior they were bribed with hookers and drugs for not enforcing the Laws at MMS offshore oil leases. Deepwater Horizon murdered 11 men at the Macando BP lease.

We need to fire half of our government workers and then hire back qualified people based upon test score. Slowly hiring each year as needed. I think we need to establish new home energy codes nationwide. Each time a house is sold it must be fitted with Solar Panels, Solar Hot Water, Windows and Insulation. No sense buying homes you can't afford to heat and cool. Houses that are foreclosed should be sold or torn down if empty more than ninety days. If Banks want to hoard homes they should pay people to live in the homes until a sale is made.

This may sound like a bunch of crap from a person who knows nothing. If you look at each item you will see ways to reduce spending and increase productivity. I concede, many people in government would be against my ideas. Sadly, I have more.

Reaching for Failure

When faced with complex problems that overwhelm logic it's best to aggravate the situation with stimulus of action, any action. Doing nothing to avoid failure is failure by default. Advancing in the wrong direction is better than no direction. By advancing in the wrong direction you reduce the options by one and always reveal new unseen possibilities.

In the news today is the continued threats from the GOP Caucus they will sell no whine before it's time. The leaders of the Republican Vineyard are whinery experts Mitch and John.

In a letter addressed to Harry Reid they collectively informed the Senate Leader they would block all legislation until the government was funded and the Bush Tax Cuts to the wealthy were extended. Technically all Americans would see their tax cuts extended but, the wealthy get the largest increase because they make more money. The two Republican demands are both about money. Some to fund the federal government insuring they would be paid and all Bush Tax Cuts extended for their wealthiest constituents. Cutting taxes to lower the deficit is self defeating and requires no further comments.

For 2 years Mitch and John have chosen to not legislate and now in control of the House they have chosen again not to legislate. Doing nothing is their platform. They evidently don't liked being disturbed while inactive.

The good news is not passing a budget and allowing the Bush Tax Cuts to sunset this month the government will shut down and the wealthy will loose their Bush Tax Cuts along with all Americans. Sounds good to me, I'm not working, pay no taxes and receive nothing from Uncle Sam. I guess those who survive on the Government Dole are concerned.

The Democrats favor extending the the Bush Tax Cuts but, excluding the richest Americans. You can paint this issue many ways but in the end it's all about the wealthy and their money.

Regardless of Party they both exploit their agendas in the name of job creation. The noble interests of putting Americans back to work clouds the greedy interest of a few. It all looks good but, smells real bad. The truth is regardless of Party or agendas empowered, Americans continue fall into poverty as jobs are exported and illegal foreign labor is illegally imported.

This is the first decade since 1945 that wages have fallen in both times of prosperity and recession. Regardless of growth or exports we go deeper in debt and most of us are rewarded with a lower standard of living. Very similar to economies of pre war Germany when life was very good to those who made the rules.

Life is not that difficult to understand and we all know giving money to some so they will hire me for work in Jobs is ludicrous. Give me the money and I will build something for you to sell is precisely the same logic in reverse. My products of coarse are after I have been paid and received my bonuses. You may then sell the product and receive the scraps of the leftovers and not the meal. It's the way we roll in America presently.

To understand our position take a close look at the Dream Act. The Dream Act is legislation that rewards criminal illegal free ranging aliens in America. The Dream Act has many names and is currently buried in legislation known as the National Defense Authorization Act 2011. It evidently wouldn't pass muster as the Dream Act so they changed the name.

I didn't know they needed authorization to defend America. I was under the impression the US Constitution clearly empowers government to defend America and control our borders.

Basically, The Dream Act is a giveaway program for illegal criminal free ranging aliens to special citizenship.

The requirements are listed below

Qualifications:

1. Must be illegal and deportable alien.

2.Must have received a free High School Education or GED courtesy of the US Taxpayer.

3. Must have arrived in the US illegally as a child

4. Must be guilty of continuously breaking immigration laws for 5 consecutive years

5. Must attend and complete two years of a free college four year degree or two years of military service.

6. Must not be convicted of any crimes (except immigration laws and drugs under thirty grams)

Once you have meet the criteria and hopefully no Ft Hood Incidents you become a citizen and may now pay taxes.

My question are few

1. Why would anyone with a free education and GI Bill want to pay taxes and become a citizen.

2. Why would we want to reward criminal aliens with free education.

3. How many American Children will be disadvantaged by criminal illegal minorities now favored in the system that demands racial diversity over best qualified highest test scores.

4. What about the safety of our troops in uniform. Should they share their uniform with criminals?

Christmas Food Court Flash Mob, Hallelujah Chorus - Must See!

Sarah Palin for Top Momma Grizzly

I like Sarah Palin, but she quit her position as Governor of Alaska.
I really never fully understood why she quit such a lucrative position of power such as Governor.

I hear and enjoy allot of her T-Party Rhetoric that criticizes the actions of others in an dysfunctional government. We all know what's wrong, Ray Charles could see that and he's dead and blind. Criticism without solution is hypocrisy in inaction and she quit her job as Governor.

President Nixon was the only guy to quit the Presidency and that screwed everything up for ten years.

Many pundits ask "Is she qualified to be President of the United States of America"?
George W Bush proved that if you meet the criteria of the US Constitution intelligence is not required. The first law of Bush politics is "spin the narrative fast enough that facts are lost in the lying".

I must admit after her interview with Katy Couric I have trouble imagining her in debate with Obama or other World Leaders. Trick question about "do you read" and "where's Russia" was beyond Sarahs knowledge. Did I mention she resigned as Governor of Alaska.

Sarah Palin is as qualified as Paul Teutel Sr. to be President and Paul didn't quit Governor of Alaska. I Like the idea of a Palin/Teutel ticket in 2012 or Teutel/Palin?
Paul Teutel is no relation to famous Ma and Pa Tuttle I checked. I watch the testosterone basic cable soap opera success "American Chopper". What I enjoy about the show is the obvious use of American Made Products. I don't however, follow Dancing with the Stars and fail to see the interest.

Chung's Chinese Choppers evidently would not sell on the Discovery Channel. Although a spot on Home Shopping Cutlery Network might be a big success. It's all about image and people who ride American Made Motorcycles might purchase steak knives from China. This is a big problem in America.

I'm not ruling Sarah out as a candidate in 2012, after all I supported Ross Perot and Obama.
I would like to hear less about what others did wrong and more about detailed analyses of how she would fix our problems.

Remembering our last Presidential Election our President promised to imprison the Banksters bring jobs back to America and rebuild the abandoned middle class. What we got was Health care and Financial Reforms that legalize 2big2fail. Obama accomplished both without putting one Bankster in jail or controlling the increasing rate of poverty in America. John Kennedy said "success has a thousand fathers".

The faces of failure endure until the damage is repaired. Obama has thus far acted as a one term President. The Obama legacy is his vision and not the will of the people. Obama will be remembered as a capable President who's only errors were his own misguided agenda of change. Good intentions out of proper sequence and poorly executed legislation will stain his legacy when all America wanted him to succeed.

Regardless of the candidate I want to hear solutions only in 2012. No more tattletales. Pointing fingers is only good in court and nobody goes to court or prison today.

Whoever we elect I hope they don't quit for more pay on "Dancing with the Stars"

Chinese Friday

The Friday after Thanksgiving is considered the heaviest shopping day in America. The logic for the phenomenon is to purchase more junk for more thanks to be celebrated next year. A self fulfilling prophesy perhaps. The patron saint of Thanksgiving is the Turkey. Not the country, the bird. As Abraham sacrificed his first born ,Thanksgiving carves a turkey for every American table. Life is good for the Turkey until the leaves begin to turn color in the North. The timing coincides nicely with the Christian observance of Christmas, now only a few weeks away. Christ's birthday is celebrated with more junk for next years Thanksgiving observance thus, completing the circle of the Retail Theocracy. Thanksgiving is a American holiday unobserved in other parts of the world.

I'm not sure how the rest of world get by but, I'm sure they must have similar Keynesian Holidays tied to their GDP. China is a Communist, Buddhist Country without Pumpkins, Pilgrims or Christmas. The Turkey is nothing more than a large Chinese Chicken.
No other Country in the world profits so well from what could only be described as a gift from Buddha himself. Just as sure as the leaves will turn color in the Fall, the Wise Men of Wall Street will appear with factory orders and American Gold. We no longer trade in Frankincense and Muir.

China was our Alli in World War 2 but, in the Korean Conflict they fought against the US Military. Just this morning it was announced North Korea fired missiles at South Korea. Two South Korea Marines died in the attacks. Happy Thanksgiving from Communist North Korea.

America was on a fast track to squash North Korea in 1950 like a road pizza until the Chinese crossed the border aiding the Communist North. The war raged on and the 38th parallel established as a result of attrition. Both Countries exhausted their ability to win and victory never resulted.

This year when you purchase lead painted poisonous products for loved ones, tell your cashier

" Buddha Sent Me" or "Mao has a better idea" and see if you get another 10% off the National Debt.

This year I ask all Americans to support the Troops and Veterans of World War 2, Korea and Vietnam. Buy American Products this year. Demand American Products and American Factories. You may pay more in dollars but we won't be sending our youth to slaughter and the military budget will decrease. China will develop their own economy with their Communist Allies.

Demand American Products this Christmas. America needs high paying skilled jobs for our youth not merchants of death in the military.

Government Motors the Double Standard of Excellents

In the beginning man hunted and fished for his needs. Hunters and Gatherers wandered the planet in search of their next meal. Agriculture was discovered and the mailbox was invented. Tribes traded and bartered for their needs in the absents of government and taxes. Two bushels of wheat for a chicken. Two chickens equals one goat. Five goats equals one cow etc. No Banksters or Broksters.


We didn't have government until the bronze age and gold smelting was discovered. As soon as we found gold we invented the pentagram of evil including war, greed, government, politicians, rulers and taxes. The Gold Standard was born. It was given the name of economy. Markets flourished as clans bought and sold all commodities in gold exchanges. Kings had armies and armies controlled the people and the gold.



Commerce produced wealthy, poor and slaves. The new system divided the wealth unevenly by creating hundreds of slaves and thousands of poor to create the wealth of a few.




This system worked for a couple of thousand years then some guy killed the King and Democracy was born. This was a good day indeed. Now each person could own property and gold. It was then necessary to assess each person for taxes to build roads schools and perform the work of the dead King. England still has Kings and Queens and they serve the same useless purpose for 5 thousand years. No comment on the English Monarchy as I'm Scottish and therefore guilty of countless attempts to kill them off throughout history. Regardless of the government the crops still grow and fish still swim.


Democracy was a long time coming and self government was difficult, until we formed a more perfect Union in the US Constitution. Great read on the least sellers lists.



Things got out of control for a while so we chose up sides and exercised our rights to butcher each other in World Wars 1 and 2. The crops were still growing and fish swam in the oceans as we killed people for the control of Gold. This concludes the history of the World Parts One and Two.


Then a long came a guy named Nixon and he abandoned the Gold Standard for the Confetti Standard. We now could print money rather than dig for Gold. This is where most people get lost because Gold does not evaporate whereas money does.


If you placed six hundred dollars in a drawer with six hundred dollars worth of Gold and closed the drawer for fifty years you would find when you opened the drawer the Money was only worth one hundred dollars and the Gold was worth about the same in purchase power. Gold is slowly mined around the planet increasing the volume. Money is printed currency and can be printed in endless supply. The printing of new money is what causes the evaporation of the dollars.


If you find yourself in poverty, the reason is simple. The rulers make it against the law for you to print your own money. Therefore, you don't make the rules you only follow the rules.


Following the rules will always make you poor. There are two rules beyond your control and both are intangible. They are imaginary and fabricated by the rulers. They are Interest and Tax. Without the Gold Standard they control your wealth by printing money, interest and taxes. The three are mystically tied to each other in a blur of obscurity called finance. Don't waste your time trying to figure it out because without a real commodity like Gold the rules change faster than you can say Bernie Madoff. When any changes are made to one it affects the other two.


If you print more money you must increase tax because printing more money makes the current money worth less (worth less not worthless) Current money is why it's called currency. Printing money and tax are inseparable. You make more money you pay more tax. They offer college degrees to study tax so don't try to figure this out either.


Wow! I made it back to Government Motors or GM. GM is in the news this week because of the stock offering on Greed Street. The hope is the sell off will retire some of the debt owed the taxpayers from Bush TARP 2big2fail. Whoppeee! we may get a third of our money returned from TARP. You remember when George the Shoe Guy came out of the Socialism Closet and changed capitalism forever with TARP.


We haven't been this mad since Jerry Ford exonerated Richard Nixon from prosecution of high crimes and misdemeanors. The Pardon that grants a Get Outta Jail Free in exchange for the appointment of "Leader of the Free World".

Anyhow an article published today claiming the T Party was wrong and the GM Bailout was the smartest move since we bought Texas from Mexico.

2big2fail is nothing more than 2blind2see. The Salvation of GM is not the source of the angry taxpayer. For years GM legally repossessed cars and foreclosed homes from taxpayers as rule one of capitalism. It's not so much that GM and the Dirty Dozen Banks were bailed out. The anger comes as we have gone from the Gold Standard to the Confetti Standard and now courtesy of George W Bush we now have the Double Standard. The Double Standard is very simple. It has no rules and can be crafted to any situation.

Look, We all know that if you wait long enough and carry John Q Citizen long enough eventually providing him with subsidies he will overcome his obstacles and return to work and regain solvency just like GM. Joe Plumber will pay his mortgage and make car payments when he returns to work. If we as a country did for the taxpayers what they did for GM and Banksters we wouldn't have recessions. People could stay in their homes and wait out the storm until the economy improves.

I don't support the idea of 2big2fail or 2blind2see. When Lehman Brothers went down the London Bank Barclay's bought most of the assets within 24 hours. Less than a week later a Japanese Bank bought all of Lehman's Asian holdings and the taxpayer paid nada. In one week the whole bankruptcy was done. We forget that before there was GM there were separate corporation of Chevy, Olds, Pontiac, Cadillac, Fisher Body, Delco all formed into a huge corporation to compete against Henry Ford. The best scenario would return these corporation back to where they began. I would support subsidies to invest in a solid business model borrower to rebuild Cadillac or Pontiac. Instead we bailout a bunch of losers and perpetuate incompetency. 2big2 fail is the reward for Peter Principle. Where a man is rewarded for sublime incompetency.

In a nut shell, I don't believe America owes anyone a TARP Bailout but, if you give it to one then you must change the rules for all. GM is not a success story. GM is a story of corruption that impedes the much needed correction provided by free market capitalism. I recommend we return all the foreclosed homes and reward the homeowner with bonuses or the Banksters should be imprisoned and their Banks sold off like Lehman Brothers. Only then will we begin to crawl out of this hole of 2big2fail.

Paper or Plastic

I noticed an article on the Internet regarding columnist Dave Barry's recent experiences at the Airport's Nekid Machine. After you have passed through the metal detector you are the faced with the choices of "Nekid Machine" or "The Man Handled Pat Down" to determine if your a terrorist. Pat could be either male or female. Once you make a selection you may not withdraw from the inspections. If you choose to withdraw you will be arrested and fined $11,000 in court and could face hard time. The fine does not included extra bags charges. No Shit!!

We as a nation thought Check Point Charlie and the Brandenburg Gate were a disgrace. Guess what; they don't wanna see your papers any longer. Due to bureaucratic neglect your Driver' Operators License or SS Card offer no relief from inspections. Homeland Stupidity recognizes anyone can obtain these document either legally or through forgery. If you choose the Nekid Machine (sun screen suggested) you could be kicked out of line if you don't pass on the Green Light Nekid Machine inspection. The Nekid Machine reveals any weapons of mass destruction and your birthday suit.


Dave Barry evidently had a blurred groin area and therefore got the double pleasure and embarrassment of receiving both invasions of privacy. Whether your embarrassed by the disclosure your groin is blurred or proud of the achievement is of personal preference. Could be someone thought Dave was suspicious or maybe really "hot looking"qualifying him for the additional delay.

It's now known if you fail both inspection you now qualify for the full body cavity search. Presumably the inspections are performed by the very best of TSA workers. These highly skilled workers have been thoroughly trained in human cavity search and cleaning BP Gulf Coast Beaches. Either way a complimentary Confessional booth is offered by the Priesthood, after you have cleared the inspections of course. The Priests inform you that wearing white on your wedding day is not approved. I assume after the third option you are either eligible to fly, prison cell or gay marriage. I was just getting accustomed to paper or plastic at the grocery and now I'm asked "Dallas" or "Eternal Damnation"? I'm not a prude or anything but, John Holmes neither.

Terror Alerts---Author Unknown

I received this very funny parody of Homeland Stupidity from a friend in E-mail format. Therefore, we know Homeland has read and forwarded the humor to the FBI and CIA and all other dark operation who spy on the citizens through the Patriot Act.

I found the humor enlightening and wondering what other generations would feel about our current threats compared to those of past generations. Enjoy!!

Subject: International Alert Levels Raised

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent

terrorist threats, and have therefore raised their security level from

"Miffed" to "Peeved".  Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet

again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross".  The English have not been

"A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940, when tea supplies nearly ran out.

Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody

Nuisance".  The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning

level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

       The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to

"Let's get the Bastards".  They don't have any other levels.  This is

the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for

the last 300 years.

   The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its

terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide"..  The only two higher levels in

France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender".  The rise was precipitated by

a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively

paralyzing the country's military capability.

   Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and

Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing".  Two more levels remain:

"Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides".

   The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful

Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs".  They also

have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose".

   Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the

only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

   The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to

deploy.  These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new

Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

   Americans meanwhile, and as usual, are carrying out pre-emptive

strikes on all of their allies "just in case".

   Canada doesn't have any alert levels.

   New Zealand has raised its security levels - from "baaa" to

"BAAAA".  Due to continuing defense cutbacks, New Zealand has only one

more level of escalation, which is "I hope Australia will come and

rescue us".

   Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No

worries" to "She'll be alright, mate".  Three more escalation levels

remain: "Crikey!", "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this

weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled".  So far no situation has ever

warranted use of the final escalation level.

Hurricane Disaster, Contagious Diseases and George W Bush

Sadists everywhere are embracing the release of the long awaited George W Bush's new book Decision Points. The often maligned former President has been seen shamelessly hawking interest in his 7 million dollar book sales. His saturation levels on daytime TV recently has outpaced his successor Celebrity President Obama.


We may soon see Bush and Obama on "Dancing with the Stars" but probably not dancing Bi-Partisan. Dancing to the top forty hit "Hey Big Spender" is rumored. The Secretary of State has reportedly banned former President Bubba Clinton from the show due to family value issues.





The new book is the self fulfilling prophecy that history would ultimately judge his administration. Reminding Americans again, making 17% of the people happy all the time is a daunting task.

Be sure to pick up a copy of Bush's Decision Points. If you haven't already purchased your copy you will probably be accused of not supporting the Troops.


The book carries the theme throughout that things could have been much worse had he not acted boldly in his leadership. After all Moses wandered in the desert for 40 years and only had 10 plagues to his credit. A challenge easily surpassed by Bush.
Credit for "Mission Accomplished" is often implied to the reader of the text but, not expressly noted in the book.



Readers witness the difficult Bush task of un-spining the truth is much more problematic than fabricating imaginary Weapons of Mass Destruction. Facts are stubborn and not easily removed from history. Bush seemed frustrated that Vice President Al Gore and President Obama received "The Nobel Peace Prize and he didn't even get an Academy Award Nomination.



The books revelation that the darkest day of his Presidency was the accusation from a illiterate Hip Hop Star that Bush was a Racist. The exchange of "Who's a Racist" is now competing with "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader" The book inspires us to question if Bush is a racist and Hip Hops are racist why, then is former Mayor of "The Big Easy" Ray Nagin not a racist.
Former F.E.M.A Director "Heckuva Job Brownie" was unavailable for comment.



It's important to note the Supreme Court has recently ruled that Water Boarding Mayors is against the "Geneva Convention" Water Boarding Hip Hops Stars is OK.

Hurricane Katrina, War Dead in Iraq and the Terror Attacks on New York City and The Pentagon wisely take second place to being personally charged with racism. The Bush famous quote of "Fool me once shame on me and Fool me twice, shame on the other two things" apply here.

Famous Bush Doctrines such as No Contractor Left Behind and The Jobs America does not want are not embellished in his long list of achievements. Vice President and Mentor Dick Cheney advised the No- Bid Contracts to Haliburton and Covert Immigration should be left out of their book for reasons of national security. Thanks to the Bush Patriot Act our government no longer needs the US Constitution. The Patriot Act provides for KGB type surveillance on the public. It seems that during the Bush Years civil discord has reached a level where home made domestic terror is perceived as a bigger threat than Arabs hiding on planes.

Bush refuses to acknowledge the Iraq Invasion was a real boner mistake. Bush stresses that Saddam Hussein was a poor leader and therefore needed replaced. He fails to mention the citizens never threw shoes at Saddam or Iranian threats quadrupled in Saddam's absents. The book claims that Bush kept us safe from terror attacks. He does not mention the weapons he shielded us from did not exist or we've only been attacked once and it was on his watch!! George never compromised his values even when faced with facts his values were wrong.

This is the core of his legacy. The "Decider" made American Foreign Policy from nothing more than stubborn childish values. He told us he was a free market capitalist when gasoline was $4.00 a gallon. When the Banksters needed TARP Bailout money he quickly abandoned free market capitalist for a socialist administration. His convictions are obviously shallow when choices are between cash or convictions.

His domestic policies transformed a 3 Trillion dollar Clinton surplus into a out of control 13 trillion dollar deficit. Americans booted out of homes with TARP money and sleeping in the streets is the Bush legacy.

The charge that Dick Cheney was actually running the country is rebuffed by Bush. It's still unclear to most Americans as to; was Dick running the country or did we simply have eight years with two Vice Presidents.

Ultimately, Bush is correct, history will decide the Bush Legacy. We all hope we've seen the last chapter. Bush will be remembered most not for starting a senseless War in Iraq or Playing the Fiddle while destroying the Largest Economy the world has ever known. George W Bush should be remembered for having done so without a single drop of alcohol.

Voo Doo Economics.

Most of the time I'm lost in all the economists who tell us what we need to do to bring down the unemployment rate in America. Among our list of things that don't work are The Bush TARP, Bank Bailouts, Obama Stimulus and Recovery Act, Obama Health care, all forms of Corporate Welfare, AIG Insurance Bailouts and Financial Reform Act. These genius legislation's are reported to be working in the absents of new jobs.

C'mon guys that means it's not working!! What is a jobless recovery: it's failure is what you got. Even in spite of jobless recovery the Banksters redeem huge Bonus Booty and Corporate Welfare abounds the same as before the bust.

They seem to be offering fixes to unemployment that benefit everything but jobs? Could this be intentional and how can things like health care create jobs? A Quantum Leap of faith for hope and change. None the less this is what we all bought and worse paid. We can all testify that if you induce Two Trillion Dollars of borrowed money into the Stock Market it goes up 5500 points. So what?

To understand the fix we first need to understand the core problem. At the top of the list is the unemployment rate of 9.7% This number which is closely watched and always receives reviews from the pundits is our first mistake. The number does not reflect people who have been booted out of the count because they have been unemployed to long to be counted. The unemployment rate only reflects those who are eligible to collect unemployment benefits. If your an illegal worker, under employed or part-time then you don't count. This is a lot of people Mr President. Continued denial of the extent of the problem is a product of politics not economics.

A good place to start then, would to count all the workers who are in the labor market. The next step would be to address who may work and who is too young, too old or illegal. Once we know how large the problem is we can now begin to fix the problem. Short answer of 9.7% is as delusional as Congress, Obama, US Treasury, Pharaoh's of Greed Street and The Dirty Dozen Banksters

I think it important to release to my numerous readers my qualifications to develop an economic plan. You may be surprised I successfully completed a High School Education and Carpentry Apprenticeship in my youth. Equally important is the revelation I never wanted to be an economist.

Some may scoff at my qualifications but I remind all; my economics plan is working as well as those who garnered the Harvard Degrees and now occupy high ranking in the US Treasury, Federal Reserve and Presidency of The United States of America.

First solution would be to enforce laws of immigration, child labor and retirement for workers. This is a very big problem but one that is easily fixed. The rights of legal Americans should not be hostage to the plight and rights of people who are here illegally. These problems did not occur in the last two centuries and therefore are created in the last decade. The lost decade of George W Bush's no advancement only circular economics. Understanding how many are eligible to work and how many real jobs are available is central to fixing the problem.

The second problem of imported goods, free trade G-8, G-20 and WTC meetings is fair trade. If you have free trade you must first have fair trade. To trade their must be equality in the rules. Both countries who trade must have similar standards of worker's living to be fair trade. It's not important they share a currency or make the same wage. All that is required is they share the same workers rights, environmental standards and overall standard of living. This way we don't destroy the planet and kill all the buffalo again. Unfair trade is abusive to both countries in the long run and in short term rewards the greed of only a few. Long term the demand for goods diminishes in depression, poverty and both traders loose.

Another aspect of importation of goods are the true cost of the products. It's rather easy to calculate the unit cost, add shipping and markup. What's not included is the cost of screening all shipments for drugs and bombs to kill us. Imports are slowing down air travel and requires thousands of people to screen packages bags and travelers. Anyone remember the days when you walked casually to your flight and waited to board. We now have an army of secrete police looking for a needle in a haystack of underwear and cosmetics. If one airliner or ship is lost in terrorist bombs then that cost should be added to the cost of the product. Certainly the costs of the two World Trade Centers should be added to the costs of Free Trade.

Free is always a tip that something looks good but smells bad.

Nor, is the costs of the US Military to aid in safe passage from pirates on land, sea and air calculated into that Poisonous Chinese toothpaste. Also overlooked, is the quality is often poor but sometimes is a poisonous product. Perhaps a terrorist tariff should be applied to all foreign products entering the country. The cost of terrorist activities should be rightly placed upon the products and not solely on the consumer who buys the products without seeing the real cost. It looks cheaper because we don't see all cost. Throw in a couple of Aircraft Carriers, B-2 Bombers and Homeland Stupidity and the $5.00 shirt at Wall Mart looks more like $150.00 dollars

If you start to look at this problem logically you begin to see that manufacturing in the US is actually cheaper when the costs are all inclusive. I think we need to take the people working for Homeland Stupidity , the Military and TSA and give them high paying manufacturing jobs in American made products and rebuild our once prosperous middle class. When we deny terrorist the opportunity to kill us with our own planes we all are safer.

The cost of the Military, TSA Workers and inconvenience to travelers is paid by the taxpayer not corporations. Similar to illegal immigration, Wall Streets booms from cheap labor and Main Street bursts under the burden of the Wars, Military, TSA and Entitlements.

Corporations in America have been recently deemed to have all the rights of the Citizens. It's time the Supreme Court now bestow the Corporations with all the liabilities of our citizens.

When it proved to costly to ship our jobs overseas they allowed illegal immigration to provide the same cheap labor to the Pharaoh's of Greed Street. Both have threatened our American way of life and security. We are all unsafe in our own homes until we rebuild the middle class.

Rock, Paper, Scissors

The news today is the American People put the car in R and returned the keys to US House of Representatives to the Republicans and their T-Party appendages. The same people who put the economy in the deep deep ditch under the direction of George W Bush.

"R" is a metaphor and has nothing in common with direction however, they're driving again.

New House Majority Leader John Boehner in concert with Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mc Connell declined the offer of the Obama's Slurppy in favor of the House Merlot.

Whine is now being served to ranking Republicans and Freshmen. We all know, nobody knows whine like John and Mitch. We're all hopeful their driving skills have improved and direction is clear.

I don't know about you but I'm a bit tired of hearing about Obama Care. My fear is they will waste as much time to repeal it as it took to conceive same. If only we could somehow trick them into fixing the economy, install a strong middle class, punish the banksters in court and control our borders. Then deport the criminal illegal free ranging aliens, all for a good start.

The Senate will remain in D allowing the Democrats to keep the key's to the Senate. It's unclear what the Democrats are drinking but, its clearly not slurppy.

Meanwhile Big Ben Bernanke at the Federal Reserve announced his plan to purchase 600 billion in Treasury Bonds. 75 billion a month until the economy responds positively.. Similar to beating the crew until the moral improves analogy. Ben doesn't have any money and China is tapped out so he'll fire up Merlin's Magic Money Machine and ask former Patriots for help. Benjamin Franklin and Ulysses S Grant will allow their likeness to print some more American debt. None of the money will be used for the COLA or other public good.

The zero percent interest at the discount window since 2008 was not enough to stimulate the economy. Lower interest at the discount window means the Dirty Dozen Banksters can loan out money cheaper. The problem evidently is nobody wants the cheap money because the middle class is tapped out and barely hanging on to the homes they should have never bought and now stuck with.

The 600 billion Bond purchase is in addition to the 1.7 trillion dollar toxic asset purchases that were designed to make the Banksters look really smart. It's all about faith in the realm of Hi-Finance. Understandably faith is in very short supply in America today.

I'm not sure how this all is supposed to work but I think it's like buying a house. First you buy a house that you can't afford. so you apply and receive a second mortgage to make a bridge loan on the payments until you can sell the house for a profit. Then you take the profits from your sale and double down buying two houses you can't afford and another bridge loan to make payments until you sell. After all your good for the note huh. To offset your costs you rent one house for less than the mortgage payments. The reason you rent and loose money is because the property is vastly overpriced and there isn't a market for houses in this price range.

The beauty of this system is each time an insolvent loan is granted the Banksters, Real Estate Agents, Appraises attach fees and taxes all increase accordingly. This makes more discretionary income to invest back into the market. Presumably the system works well as long as China doesn't run out of money to loan us. Heaven forbid China runs out of money cause they got Nuclear Weapons.

The Pharaoh's of Greed Street are in favor as this means more money for the New York Casino. Printing more money insures inflation and even though stock values won't increase the stock costs are sure to rise. This means more bonus from their genius as the market soars from inflation.The same tactics as the Obama Stimulus and Bush TARP that drove the Dow Jones from 6,600 to over 11,000 in 18 months. Even though their bonus money is theoretically worth less due to inflation. Some bonus is better than no bonus on the Dow Jones Treadmill of Fortune...

The election over, the winners are all flaunting their mandates of representing the people. Most of them are delusional about their win. They're for a very short time the best of the worst in American politics.

Our President Obama wasted no time to offer empathy/sympathy for those who made the "Tough Choices" and lost their seat at the public trough. The "Tough Choices no doubt were casting yes votes for Obama Care and Financial Reform Act that the majority of Americans were firmly against. Life is tuff at the public trough!

When we elect people to office to represent the people as our proxy. We don't expect them to vote against the will of the people. Obama Care and Financial Reform Acts are like a pre-arranged marriage.

The hope is one day we will embrace the needs of the politicians. The longer bad legislation is allowed to be law the more it is accepted. Not because it's better or working but, rather as people die through attrition's new taxpayers just don't know better and legislation like Social Security becomes accepted.

I'm not against Social Security, Medicare Medicaid or Health Care. Like most people I abhor the way they're administered. The system that places the government and employer between the consumer and his purchases cause for runaway imaginary costs. Free is always implied because the citizen never sees how much money is transferred. I don't need it and I don't want it thank you very much.

The path we have chosen rewards only a few as the imaginary bar of prosperity is raised. Every time profits are increased more people fall beneath the prosperity bar. The trick is to convince the American people they're poor because they haven't the right education and therefore they're poverty is deserved and self-imposed.

We Americans are just not as smart as the Chinese worker?
