Good, Bad or Ugly. Depends, if your Rich or Poor



The pending Government Shutdown has caused a lot of concerns in the US Ship of State. Most of the rhetoric comes from Congress and the Executive Branch of Government. I find this surprising as it's well known they will continue to be paid regardless of their conduct or lack of conduct.

Remember, these are the people who took away your house and told us to "Sober up or sleep in the street" (Congressman (R) Allan Simpson) then rewarded the Incompetency of Banksters, Insurance Extortionists, and Auto Moguls who drove the GDP in the ditch under the close watch of the US Treasury and Justice Departments. The theatrics of our politicians is to evoke the illusion they are fighting to protect the constituency. The smoke and mirrors of election day magicians.


Remember, The Bush Republicans gave away a trillion dollars and called it TARP and the Obama Democrats gave away a trillion dollars and called it Health Care and Stimulus. I call it the CRAP Act. Give me some time and I'm sure I can come up with a patriotic acronym for CRAP. Both TARP and Stimulus were passed to cover the theft choreographed in the 2008 G W Bush Financial Holocaust.


The Piper has come to collect his due. The fallout of 2big2fail bailouts are starring down the throats of their creators. Millions of bankruptcies have come and gone over the past 250 years. Bankruptcy is the garbage collector in free market capitalism. 2big2fail is a venture into unprecedented fascism in America. TARP and Stimulus offer a state supported life boat to the financial institutions who plotted and walked away with America's wealth. The life boat was used by these same institutions to extort their obscene undeserved future bonus booty. The funding for TARP and Stimulus is all borrowed money printed at the US Treasury. In the absence of the Gold Standard Bretton Woods 1944 and Glass Steagall Act 1934. We've legislated and deregulated our prosperity into a three ring circus and laughing stock of the world. We have a imaginary monetary currency that is the whipping boy of the Mastery of the Federal Reserve, Corrupt Investment Banking and a Government of Power Mongering Thieves.


It's should be apparent to all Americans the failure of the past ten years is now focused upon the diversionary accusation teachers, firefighters and sanitation workers are responsible and should pay for the theft in lost wages and benefits. The rest of America is paying in higher state taxes, fees and less services such as auto tags and operator permits. Meanwhile, not one banker has gone to jail.


It doesn't matter if your tribe is Republican or Democrat. Nor, if your chief is black or white. If your one of the working 99% of American stiffs, your supporting a system designed to make you poor.


If your 1% of top income earners in America, I suggest you pick up a copy of the Mayan Long Count Calendar. You will note YOUR time is running short. If your one of the 22 million illegal free ranging alien invaders you should shut your pie hole and return to your country of origin. You have no rights here illegally.


The Oligopoly Corporate Titans such as BofA and General Electric pay no taxes after loophole deductions. The Criminal Aliens pay no taxes and live a life from various unlawful contraband to subsidize their deplorable conditions. It should also be noted the Tax Code, Covert Immigration and Bank Deregulation were all heralded by Government as good for you and good for America


In short, considering the path of government over the past ten years most American voters seem unfazed at the recent inaction of our partisan system. The logic of the people is: what they did failed, so what they don't do can only help.


It's clear to me that Congress views increased poverty in America as insignificant long term problem caused by ignorant uneducated people who suffer from their own demise. This message is now reaching degree individual who are told to go back to school and pay another round to the Collegiate Toll Booth.


Conversely, massaging the DOW Jones back to life requires immediate bi-partisan attention from all three branches of the Cesspool we call The Federal Government. America is a good nation of Great People. Not a Great nation of good people. It's "We The People" not Wee the people is self evident.

It's amazing how we Americans become so worked up over partisan election rhetoric. When we all know they will act in the opposite manner when elected. Five o'clock cable news rhetoric and elections are as common as the taxes they collect. Neither the elections or the accompanied fallout rhetoric affects our downward spiral in standard of living in America. Both parties spend our wealth foolishly in an opposite focus of Selfish Power. The narrative from both tribes is cut,cut, cut spending. The direct opposite of TARP and Stimulus salivations passed in the past three years. We all know their secretly planning to raise the debt ceiling in a few months out of desperation. Raising the debt ceiling opens the door to more corruption.


If you agree with this logic then shutting down the government for long periods of time truly is something we've not explored by the electorate. It is obvious that the government or parts of government will slowly sunset. The question remains will it reverse our trending downward spiral in Poverty. In government shutdown the activity of government ceases causing their bailouts and subsidies to their cronies to stop. (Fat chance I'm betting) What will become of the poverty rates and unemployment without government meddling in our free markets? The answer is the Stock Market and Major Banks will be forced to close when removed from the Congressional Teats.


So if you have large sums of wealth in these institution your gonna have to get a job. Once the Banksters and Dow Jones Fail we will get a true picture of the values of goods and services in the free markets of American Commerce and Trade. The industries supported by Pork will wither without the artificial Stimulus or TARP. We have so much PORK in America that we export our wasteful spending overseas to Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya. PORK expenditures overseas are much harder to track than the wasteful spending here at home.

Those of us who don't have large investments in the Stock Markets or Bank Investment will see a big difference as employment demands will increase forcing many Americans out of the poverty of our current systems of servitude of millions. This in turn will cancel the vast wealth in America's 1% Elite Class. CEO pays will collapse and bonus will become the product of clever industrious people who work as opposed to those bath in the labor of others wealth known as 401-K or GDP.

If your poor you will benefit in Government Shutdown. If you are 1% of the Pharaoh's of Wall Street Investment Bankster you will loose in the economic swap. ( no offense intended to the Hell's Angels and their 1% club as were talking economics here not social clubs) The Hell's Angels operate totally without government influence or subsidy. (we hope)


Without the Pharaoh's of Wall Street, manufacturing will return to America as the needs of a people are now measured on a National Scale rather than the complex global corrupt system known as the WTO.


We will make what we use, and pay for what we buy based on our economy in America. Cheap foreign labor will buy sell and trade in economics of crippled third world countries. Our standard of living will return to how hard you work versus how much you can extort from the sweat of others. The cost of food, housing and health care will be forced to balance with wages earned. This is the essence of a unfettered fair economy. You simply cannot mix the economics of our system of government with those overseas fairly. It's fundamentally unfair to the citizens of both counties.


We get a $5.00 shirt at Wallmart and despicable wages to support Congress. Foreign workers sweat in unfair filth and servitude under the control of Despot Regimes coupled with the Pharaoh's of Wall Street. Greed Street then controls the purse strings of Governments with the wealth of those enslaved. Meanwhile, the Pharaoh's of Wall Street slither around world markets under the vigilant patriotic protection of America's Youthful Military Servicemen. Unfair taxes provide our military with weapons and obscene unemployment insures the constant supply of US marksmen.


This is not a new World Order, heresy or government overthrow. Shut down in government is a return to normal. Doesn't make any difference if it's Big Government or Oligopoly Suppression. What ever we have now, it's not working and neither is America!!!!

Glen Beck Done at FOX

If you can believe anything from FOX or Glen Beck. The Glen Beck Show will be phased off the air over the coming months.

After the loss of 300 sponsors, millions of dollars and throngs of viewers Beck will throw in the towel. Becks well known style, a cross between Jimmy Swaggert and Buffalo Bob has been the voice of lunatics across America since 2009 when he left CNN for greener pasture at FOX.


Gone forever is the teary eyed Beck in front of his chalk board drawing mindless conclusion found in the white circles he drew for his viewers. Beck is Americas self proclaimed authority on Nazi Regime and Communist mixed with a Biblical Theocracy taking over in government. Glen had something for everyone. The shows demise will no doubt trigger thousands of conspiracy theories and Elvis sightings among America's bi polar communities and better prisons.


It's not clear who will replace the shows 5 o'clock time slot at FOX. FOX employs a plethora of right wing conservative high ranking Republicans from which to choose.


My favorite is Sarah Palin. I love the way she makes up her own vocabulary. She often reminds me of Norm Crosby..........

Government Shutdown

Government Shutdown, just the sound of those words make me flush with warm and fuzzy feelings of 2good2b true. Imagine all the money cut off from those who pilfer the American Storehouse. The fear evoked from government shut down actually reveals the source of why they're out of money again. The self full filling prophecy of, I'm broke give me more money.
The number kicked around was 33 billion in cuts, subsequently agreed to by the Dems. Then Republicans double downed and rose to 73 billion in cuts, also agreed by the Dems. A mere billions of a 14 trillion dollar debt ceiling problem. Either 33 0r 73 the figure is a drop in the ocean when compared to 14 trillion in spending.
It's well known among taxpayers the dynamics of government follows with large amounts of money from the sweat of the GDP are filtered through the government producing the trickle down of benefits to the citizen. The vast majority of the wealth is captured in administration costs of the cronies feeding in the government trough. When you shut off the money pouring in the top it has a proportionately opposite effect of what was formerly the benefit. Nothing, or almost. The squeeze is absorbed almost entirely upon those feeding from the system as opposed to those who pay in the system. Sadly, most Americans are entirely focused upon the benefits dripping out of government and have no grasp of the wealth pouring into the top. Tax day is right around the corner. Obedient Americans will wait in long lines for the Post Mark before midnight. The Witches Ours of the Eternal Revenue Service. The official bleeding ceremony of April 15th. If we used our budget to rein in waste fraud and abuse we would penalize Federal Agencies who performed poorly over the last year. At the top of this list would be SEC then USDA, FDA MMS, TSA, Homeland Security and Border Patrol. When these agencies succeed we award them with larger budgets. Throwing good money after bad logic must stop.



The irony of the Republicans is they lost power because of fiscally irresponsible spending on cronyism 2big2fail and wars of imaginary threats of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Obama raised and called with ridiculous employer based health care that enriches the insurance extortion and enslaves the worker to a system of servitude to government and employers. These two administration have backed the voters into a corner of anger of a mad dog. Neither Bush or Obama has thrown bankers in jail or lowered the poverty rate of 50 million Americans.


Remember Bush handed out a trillion and Obama another trillion in 2big2fail raids on the GDP. The republicans are reluctant to agree on any number. Knowing the real number required is political suicide, far more than we can afford. If they agree they know they will be held responsible for the impending failure to come. Politically polarized to do nothing is John Boehners plan.


Those who don't take from the Government will not see any change in their lives. Government Workers will be furlowed and be forced to work for a living without retirement, health care, paid sick days and 27 annual paid Government Holidays.


One essential of the new budget is raising the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling is an abstract number set as drop dead your out of money scenario. If we leave the debt ceiling where it is or lower the number it will stop inflationary spending. Printing more dollars and spending on earmarks causes the money in circulation to be worth less. Ear marks is a appropriate word used by Farmers . Marking the pigs ear for where the hog is to be butchered. Your hard earned money won't buy the same purchase power as yesterday. The laws of supply and demand in currency states the more you print the less buying power of the dollar. Most economist agree inflation has caused the evaporation of .95 cents from every dollar in the last hundred years. Gone in thin air of the Federal Reserve. A good example of this loss is the Dollar store of 1900 was called a Five and Dime Store. What costs a dollar now, cost a nickel in 1900.


When Congress has money, they give it away to get elected. The TARP and Stimulus acts failed to improve the economy. The poverty rate has risen buried in higher cost of living. They did provide free bailouts for corporate welfare funds to wealthy titans of failed business and obscene bonuses for the Pharaoh's of Greed Street. Lloyd Blankfien CEO of Goldman Sachs will receive 14. 1 million in compensation this year. The only way to become rich in Banking is to steal the money. The Stealing simply requires Congress to make it legal. Please, don't tease me any further, shut down the government. Please!!

737 Cabriolet


Watching the news today I noticed several reports on the Southwest Airlines 737 roof splitting followed by an immediate loss of cabin pressure. The FAA investigates the roof splitting and points to a lap joint at the top of the aircraft center. A lot of foot dragging concerns, this is a new problem and has not been a reported in past 737 model.


We haven't quite reached 2big2fly yet but, getting closer. We should stop subsidizing the Airlines. Throwing our tax money away for Homeland Stupidity and TSA to insure low air fares for the small portion of population who fly. Supporting Air travel the same way we build giant tax supported Stadiums for the NFL Owners. It's waste fraud and abuse to those who don't fly.


I remembered a similar accident where the entire roof blew off of a Flight 243 in Hawaii. I wasn't sure if the plane was a Boeing 737. The result of a quick Internet search proved the plane was a 737 owned and operated by Aloha Airlines 1988. The only fatality on flight 243 was CB Lansing. CB was a Flight Attendant who was blown out of the air frame at 24,000 ft.


Perhaps the FAA records don't go back to 1988 or their to busy downloading porn with SEC and MMS. We should now include the Airlines in the Oligopoly Corruption in America with the Bankers, Auto Czars, Drug Makers and Insurance Extortion.

March Wrap







March was an active month in the news for 2011. The world news was dominated by natural disasters and government Coup.

The Japanese were pounded by a 9.0 Earthquake and a Tidal Wave of equal proportions. The failed Japanese Nuclear Reactors 1 thru 6 would not qualify as Natural as they are completely man made.


The man made Ecological disasters of Biblical Proportions are poisoned Air ,Water, Food and rotting corpses all considered unsafe hazards. Operator Fukushima Daiiachi is offering $2500.00 per day for workers willing to essentially "drink the hemlock". Run into the plant perform tasks and run back out. The Japan Earthquake dwarfs the Haiti and New Zealand quakes in loss of life and Billions lost. The disaster has prompted Americans to reevaluate Nuclear Plans moving forward. Rather than spend money building new reactors, maybe we should increase safety standards and new technology in America's aging older reactors.


All three Quakes combined would not equal the 2008 New York Banking Meltdown on Greed Street.


To see the impact of the Japanese Nuclear disaster draw a circle fifty mile radius from your home and consider everything in the circle as toast? This value does not include damage from the Earthquake or Tsunami in Japan, Haiti or New Zealand.


The New York Bank Fraud is an astonishing number. Carl Sagan would have trouble understanding the magnitude of New York greed.


The Muslim Jihad that took down the World Trade Centers in 2001 appears to have backfired into a long list of Arab Muslim Countries Overthrown in 2011. The Coup's are the result of the Freedom of Speech gained from the Internets Highway of Information. When Egypt shut down the Internet, the Internet shut down Egypt. Israel has been quiet on the issues. I would say much too quite for the Jewish Theocracy.


On the home front the Republicans are beginning to realize the Presidential elections are just around the corner. Sadly, the front runners are a cornucopia of comedy. The latest entry is the flair haired man from New York, Donald Trump. The calling for his public service is somewhat unclear. He seems to be challenged to lead America to world dominance in business over Communist China. Trump has been bankrupt more times than there are crooks in New York. Making him a good candidate for Congress not President.


Trumps only other issue is Obama's birth certification. Anyone on this bandwagon should look for employment in Archeology, not Public Service. You can't have a vision of the future looking in a rear view mirror. The future will not improve viewing past failure.


Candidate Sarah Palin seems to have the best platform of "If nobody runs she will". Nobody is the clear front runner thus far. Obama has a advantage as the opposition proposes another Bush Cheney type ticket. So far we have a blind racists, silver spoon billionaire, bass guitarist, failed governor of Alaska and a call girl from Minnesota. Looks more like an episode of "Gilligan's Island" than selection of leader of the free world. Although, Gilligan's Island was not aired on FOX. I'm very disappointed in all republican thus far. None of the Republicans narrative is focused on criminal free ranging foreign invaders, border control, health care or solving 2big2fail throwing Banksters in prison.


I have no intentions of voting for Obama and have less interest in his birth certificate. I'm planning another lonely Tuesday evening eating popcorn and watching all night returns in November 2012. Playing Democratic Roulette with the Constitution.


In 2012 I would like to see the candidates on the ballot have their 4 year budget numbers listed on their ticket. Voters could choose how much change they can afford. They must stay within these numbers despite Congress.


Governor Scott Walker's Oligopoly Regime is moving forward with their plans to silence collective bargaining in Dairy Land. The Cheese Emperor is using the 2008 Bank Fraud in New York to tilt the future of Wisconsin elections away from Labor Unions toward his Oligopoly Ideology.


Teachers, Firefighters, Police and Sanitation pay is merely a diversionary distraction. The big score is breaking the Labor Unions and their Political Machine's influence. His only impediment seems to be Wisconsin Law and Judge Maryann Sumi.


Both Oligopoly and Labor Unions are political divisions that operate within the greater framework we call Democracy. We need to abolish both. I do concede, if you have either, you require both.


The economy continues to feel the effect of TARP and Recovery Stimulus. As the Bankers handed out another year of record obscene bonuses and CEO pay across the Dow Jones. CEO pay jumped 27% average over last year. The pay was a result of an increase in stock values falsely stimulated by TARP, Recovery and Big Ben's Billion dollar Bond Buys with your sweat in the GDP. History will record the TARP Act as the Economic Holocaust of 2008 and the Patriot Act that lead America to a Fascist Police State..

Home values continue to fall and more people are foreclosed in a corrupt court system that supports the Banksters. The housing market and retirement accounts are the reason for passing both TARP and Recovery. Neither legislation saved anyone homes or retirement. It's my personal view both impeded the correction necessary that bankruptcy offers in Free market Capitalism. Never waste a good crisis, even if you caused the failure yourself analogy.


A man I met once commented " if you take all the wealth in America and divided the sum equally among all citizens, the wealth would return in two years to the same balance of where it began". I thought a great deal on his comment. I determined he was correct. The money would return to the wealthy, unless changes in laws were enacted. His statement is true only because of regulation and legislation demand same.


I suspect this man was a Republican as they seem to all take abstract thoughts or opinions and frame them in compositions of irresponsible yarn. After three trips around the Internet the narrative becomes indisputable facts or common knowledge. Anyone warm and above ground the last ten years has seen how it works. It's the basis for the Patriot Act, Weapons of Mass Destruction and TARP.

March Unemployment dropped a bit as inflation soared cancelling any celebrations.


Charlie Sheen and Lindsey Lohan made news again. Charlie, out of Detox was fired by CBS and Lindsey Lohan was in court more times than Judge Judy. Charlie and Lindsey would make a great prime time sit com paired. Lady's Man and the Tramp? Or maybe a run for Governor of Wisconsin!!
