The President's Speech

Rebuilding America

The anti union sentiment that began under Ronald Reagan in 1980 appears to have come full circle. The message was sent courtesy of America's favorite conservative George W Bush. The product of eight years of Bush's conservative economics led us to economic collapse and the double standard of Elite Bailouts of TARP.

It has become crystal clear the shortcomings of the Unions is child's play when compared to the thieves of Wall Street Bankers. The greed of Wall Street theft is the source of failing state governments who spent like there were no tomorrows. Buying voters and handing out money that only existed on paper. The truth of TARP, Bond Buys, Quantitative Easing and Recovery Act funds is payable by 100% of the working class. The money stolen went directly to the top 1% Americans who live in the world of tax free loopholes.

American ideology rejects the notion of unions. We want to believe in a fair playing field where commerce is equal and the guy who builds your house can buy a car and feed his family.

The destruction of the middle class has instituted a generation of people who are indentured to the government for health care, college education, retirement, food and housing. We the people who once paid with wages are now reduced to begging the government for every need. In spite of the facts we all carry the burdens of driving the GDP year after year. It is the spending habits of people who have good jobs that encourage production that stimulates the economy. Indentured servants of America are deprived of their share of the GDP. This system is producing unproductive workers similar to the former USSR

The Wisconsin Union employees still pay their own way. They provide for their own retirement, better health care, purchase their own foods and are independent of government. These people clearly have a standard of living above those of non union workers. It's very hard to find people to dislike the Independence of paying your own way. Rejecting the welfare/nanny state as Communism.

The practice of sacrificing the middle class to maintain global power is not nor should be the focus of our government. Sacrificing the American Standard of Living in a race to the bottom of global power should be abandoned and replaced with a fair playing field in America. Allowing 1% of the people to redeem lavishly at the costs of all Americans must be stopped.

Thousands of America's greatest inventions were born in the estuary of curious workers in American Manufacturing. The same manufacturing we now compete against will provide another country of those unseen invention. Our government relies entirely upon a collegiate system that will produce tomorrow inventions. History has shown the flat earth society will only produce more people of the same knowledge. It will not produce another Einstein.

I would like to see America led again by example of all it's people as evidence for all the world to witness. Creating poverty in America is counter productive to American Values.

The Governor of Wisconsin is trying to sell this notion the Union Workers are over compensated for their labor. The pendulum of labor has swung back in favor of Unions and the leverage collective bargaining brings. The voice of We the People is as loud and clear as the debts brought on by bankers and their conservative agendas. The budget shortfalls in Wisconsin were forged in Washington, DC and planned in New York. The workers in Wisconsin should not be held responsible for the actions of Washington and New York. The politicians and Banksters should be forced to pay for the shortfalls in budgets. Tax the Bankers and Elected Official who profited from the theft and leave the Teacher,s alone. The Teacher's should begin tomorrow doing a better job of teaching our children and taking their retirement money out of New York

2011 Wall Street Banksters Bonus Booty $20.8 BBBillion

The Pharaoh's of Greed Street will divide $20.8 billion in obscene Bonus Booty this year. Down from last years take of $22 billion.


The bonuses overwhelm the Wisconsin Budget Deficit of a mere $137 million.



As school children in Wisconsin are deprived of their Education the Banksters divide the wealth of the United States. Governor at Large; Scott Walker is blindly focused on breaking unions of their rights to collective bargaining and robbing the last vestiges of middle class Americans of more income. The stalemate between the Governor and Organized Labor rages on as the Pharoah's of Greed Street silently slither off with the money. They squabble over fixing a State of Wisconsin problem that was forged in Washington, DC and planned in New York, New York!!!


You can bet as the Governor ignores the balance of wealth he is focused on the forty year old practice of beating down the middle class. Adding to the irony, Unions foolishly send billions of dollars of retirement money to New York City for investments. The Banksters spin the money into worthless securities that grow from next months Mom and Pops nickles and dimes Ponzi donations. The stock markets grow from the endless streams of money without options of other investments.


If we follow the money the State of Wisconsin deducts from each workers paychecks. Then sends the money out of state to be wasted in imaginary paper profits. It all looks good on monthly statements. It appears all are wealthy as imaginary numbers grow. What could be better. I'll have more please.The lack of investment options force Americans to either donate their money to Greed Street or watch the government gobble down savings in inflationary money policies of the Federal Reserve. We are all hostages in America's fourth covert branch of government known as Banking. We all are hoping to withdrawal before the next collapse. It happens every three to five years. Then they fix the system by convicting innocent people like Martha Stewart.


The focus on our government should be restoring the middle class by increasing union memberships from the current 12% to 36% B.R.R. (before Ronald Reagan) We should reverse laws allowing the Banksters to invest in the stock markets. We should eliminate excessive campaign donations. We should levy heavy taxes on money spent on elections.


Ronald Reagan will be remembered in Organized Labor as the man who broke the unions and deregulated everything. Phones service, stock markets, intra state trucking, and airline all fell from Trickle Down Economics. Ronald Reagan will also be remembered for Iron Will Leadership in his Administration. Many have forgotten as Reagan spent wildly the middle class paid the bills.


For the record I voted for Nixon, Carter, Reagan x2, against H Bush x2 for Clinton x2 and against W. Bush x2 and then for Obama. The best President this side of Camelot in my opinion was Bubba Clinton. Clinton had all the trains on time, budget surplus and full employment. My second choice would be Reagan for his foreign policies and seizing the reins of our government at War with OPEC Nations.


We had a great gig going from World War 2 until 1973 OPEC Pirates. We decimated the economies in Japan, Germany and the Axis of evil. All of our problems today can be traced back to the formation of OPEC. Once again we are facing $5.00 a gallon gasoline. The problems at the pump today are not a result of OPEC Oil. The world oil supply is running at near capacity. Any disturbance in the Middle East and anarchy rears it's ugly head.

I've endured several Hurricanes and can attest. First priority is energy, gasoline and propane. Second is water and Third is food. Fourth is air conditioning, but don't hold your breath.


Middle East turmoil causes energy prices to soar. The ever present reminder Americans are not in control of their destiny. The legacy of our Hero's and future of our Children is in oil wells far away..

Governor Walker's High Speed Rail Act

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's anti union legislation has the Democrats of Wisconsin hiding in Illinois.

The Governor took office and immediately passed legislation giving $100 million in crony tax credits to business. After his raid on the budget he went after railroading collective bargaining legislation for government union workers.

Using his now empty budget as imaginary WMD's he can argue the collective bargaining agreements are breaking the budget. Much like invading Iraq for 911.

The truth is of coarse if you break the unions big business will dominate the next election with impunity. Interference from unions
gone they will be unopposed in railroading the working class.

In short the Governor is using his office and poor budget to gain political power by destroying the support mechanism of the liberal Democrats. The unions oppose the conservatives in business negotiations successfully. They turn this success into political capital donations at elections.

I remember 1998 and 1999 the last years of the tax and spend Democrats, the State budgets across America reported surplus money in the coffers created in full Clinton employment.

I must admit I'm not all that familiar with the contracts of state workers in Wisconsin. I can however attest, granting tax credits to business doesn't create jobs. Tax credits create wealth for American Aristocracy to control elections. Tax Credits don't give money away. They fail to seize money which has the same effect of handing out bailout money. We all witnessed the Republican Conservative Party hand out No- Bid Contracts to their cronies and then bailout the Banksters who raided the Treasury under the direction of George W Bush

The logic of reducing the incomes of middle class workers over the past thirty years has not produced positive results in the American Standard of Living. Nor does the decline in wages produce a balanced budget. The past thirty years of raiding the middle class has instead produced record deficits. As Americans make less money, business raids the Treasury creating more debts for the taxpayer to repay.

Trickle Down Economics was Ronald Reagan's answer to fixing our economy. During the Reagan years more unions were broken in record numbers as the debt soared. The runaway inflation of the seventies squared off in Union negotiation for increased wages. The costs of OPEC oil caused increased cost of living in all facets of commerce. As unions bargained to stay even businesses resisted. The resistance came from the absents of money now going to OPEC.

American manufacturing has always relied heavily on affordable energy to produce goods. The way I see our problem is the missing money extorted by OPEC has caused a unavoidable collide between the Conservatives and Liberals. Each party has tried to recapture American wealth for their constituents. Both Democrats and Republicans have answered the call by borrowing more money creating more debt.

All this took place as OPEC pocketed our wealth from our own addiction to oil. The way to retire our debts and return America to greatness is not to raid the middle class again and encourage more debt. The only way for America to return to a world leader is to become energy independent. Energy independent means we manufacture our destiny here, not China. Putting America back to work and re-establish a strong middle class is the pathway to prosperity. Once we control our own destiny we can then address our wealth.

CURVEBALL

The smoking gun of the Iraq War and George Bush's Weapons of Mass Destruction has been revealed. I will spare you the mans lengthily name and tell you only, it contains three sir names, two maiden names and three kinds of Arabic flem.

Recently we've been inundated with revelations of the way we were. The newly released tell all books from Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld chronicle the cracker jack job they did running the country. Cashing in on the war they didn't fight and trumping those who did and died for a guy named CURVEBALL.

Really! You couldn't make this up if you had a thousand years. Secret code name Curveball. A former Baghdad Bridge Salesman and part time Iraqi snake charmer provided the imaginary fantasy mobile Chemical/Biological Weapons scenario. Sadam, he reported had a mobile laboratory traveling around the countryside making poison pumpkin juice. An eye witness for witless.
We now know Curveball lied to the CIA to receive asylum in Germany. According to Curveball everyone was happy. Sadam would die and Bush would have absolute proof truth Sadam had Chemical Weapons. The truth is he lied because he disliked Sadam. Some claim he just wanted out of Iraq and cash to live on.

We now know there were no Nuclear, Chemical or Biological weapons in Iraq. Nor did they support covert al Qaeda training camps. We do know Bush allowed 22 million criminal free ranging illegals entry to the US.

The War in Iraq that Bush often compared to World War Two proved to be real life Military War Games where hundreds of thousands died.
Bush's famous quote of " fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on the other two things" truly fits here.

Best Car I Ever Owned

The best car I ever owned was a 1985 Olds Toranado. I bought the car second hand from small dealer in town. I heard the car run and checked the transmission and brakes. Everything, surprisingly worked. Every option performed as designed. Aside from a torn headliner the interior was perfect. $100.00 at the local trim shop and I had a car that looked and drove like a dream.

The odometer indicated 92,000 miles in 1996. My handsome offer of $1500.00 dollars was accepted and I was off to the DMV to acquire tags for my new chariot.

When I viewed the title the last mileage entry was at 146,000 miles. This means my low mileage bargain was about to turn 200,000 miles or double what I assumed. The news was comforted in the fact I had paid very little for the car. The Olds was my second car.

My first vehicle was a 1 ton Ford 4x4 that got an amazing 9 miles to a gallon of gas. That's 9 miles city, highway, uphill, downhill and tailwind. It rode like a roller skate and parked like the Queen Mary. It was a great truck if you were pulling heavy loads or Trans Atlantic Crossings. The Ford was the dream of every OPEC Oil Minister. The Olds would get much better mileage at 16 city and 22 highway.

After I drove the Olds around a bit I noticed two flaws in the car. It leaked oil in the valve covers and had a slow leak in the gas tank. Both leaked 24/7 whereas the truck only cost money when I drove.


My attempt to lower my driving costs were diminished in the waste of oil and gas. Without repairs the car was a total waste of money. Surprisingly, both were inexpensive to repair. New gaskets on the valve covers and a plug in the gas tank and all was well.

After I spent an additional $200.00 dollars to the purchase price and an optional updated radio/stereo I had a first class automobile with power everything and cold AC. Over the next five years I spent money on only tires brakes and batteries. I put another 60,000 miles on the car and drove it across country every year on vacations.

Not only was I driving a American made product, I was saving on insurance, gas and not sending my hard earned money to Detroit every month and avoiding support of a parasitic blood sucking banker in compound interest.

My choice to purchase a newer Cadillac in 2001 proved to be a huge mistake. The events of September 11, 2001 would throw the Country into recession along with the profound incompetency of one George W Bush.

The problem with making payments to a Banker and outrageous insurance premiums could have been overcome in time. Eventually, the Caddy would be paid off, interest retired and insurance diminished.

This is the biggest problem in our economy. In past years you could depend upon the economy to function effectively until your debts were paid. You had to exercises care and encouraged not to over borrow. Avoiding credit card debts and extravagant spending usually was enough to keep a guy out of bankruptcy. Long term debts such as housing mortgages were always offset in higher property values and inflated increases in wages. Locked in on a fixed mortgage was a smart investment for the average guy provided you stayed within the safe 25% of annual income.

I remember the advise of my father when I married " never finance a car for 36 months, pay it off in 24 months or don't buy the car". If you couldn't pay the car off in 24 payments you couldn't afford the car. This advice has come full circle today. Today's economy cannot be sustained for more than 24 months. We no longer see downturns in the economy as in the past. Our recent economy results in collapse not downturns. Auto loans of 72 months are common and recommended for only the truly clairvoyant. In additional cost of insurance and taxes has skyrocketed to the point the soft costs now overwhelm the hard costs.

In addition you now have the city demanding all cars be registered and tags. The State demanding all registered cars have insurance. Even if you don't drive the car, they can still bleed you for $1500.00 per year in extortion.

The cost of owning your home or auto is no longer in the cost of building the home or steel in the car. These costs are now overwhelmed in taxes, interest charges and insurance. All three not surprisingly under the control of their government. You now have the tail wagging the dog and the cart before the horse in an upside down economy that will never perform.

With these practices in place it's understandable the rewards for making money in America no longer are reaped by those doing the work. All the money is being raped in the soft costs of banking, insurance and government bureaucracy. All government, not just Federal but State, County and City as well. They all operate in the same circles of piracy and influence.
Instead of making things in Detroit we now make things up in Washington,DC. Turning the wheels of commerce on a cottage industry in the imagination of New York or Washington,DC.

I once had the unfortunate experience of trying build a County Library on State owned lands inside the City limits with Federal Money. In a scenario once believed only capable in the minds of Rod Serling or Stephen King, we now found ourselves in a cosmic collision of all forms of government within Milky Way Cosmos.

A cataclysmic collide of taxes, permits, utilities, fees and selfish displays individuals power. Each level of government squared off in threatening battle of supremacy of obtaining more funds for their budgets. The city demanded permits and fees or no water or electricity for the Library. The State refused and the Fed was all about protocols for the return of your money. Case and point, I was approached by a man with a gold badge indicating he represented the County Environmental Agency and I was removing trees without a County Permit. I advised Barney, I had a State Permit as I was on State owned lands. He advised if I didn't stop, he would call the Sheriff and have me arrested. I told Barney, I was going home and would not return until the President, Governor, Mayor and Sheriff had come to terms and the problem was now his. I finally received a call at home encouraging me to return to work. I learned when I returned that we had obtained a Permit for tree removal from the State, County and City. We the taxpayer paid three times for nothing!!!!

Not that they were performing for the public good, they were simply attempting to enrich their budgets and capture more power. Attorney's and the full force of each level of bureaucrat was used to bleed the taxpayers of even more money.

Sadly, I can attest they all won in an truce of just take the money and let the citizens pickup the tab for their greed. The government spends money. Money is Power. Power corrupts. The way to stay in Power is to spend more money. The way to spend more money is to create bigger government. The way to bigger government is more money and more corruption. This is where we are now. The system is so upside down we can't control the addiction.

You were waiting for me to get here from my Olds weren't you? You may notice I said their government and not our government. The reason for the distinction is that large corporate Titans run the government from the money they access. Once you control the money you control the power by default.

We get to vote sure, that's an unfortunate obstacle in an Oligopoly system. We only choose from candidates selected by the Pharaoh's of Wall Street. Doesn't matter who you vote for, your vote will be trumped by Corporate donations once they're in office. The candidates are vetted rubber stamped and approved ready for voting by the Corporate Titans of Corruption.

Simply apply the analogy of my 85 Olds as the best car I ever owned. We can all agree the United States of America is the greatest country on Earth. Our Union is our strongest asset. Our government though, is another matter.

Think of the Government, Taxes, Banking, and Insurance as the hole in the gas tank and leaky valve covers. These costs are all liabilities to our GDP. The more you drive the faster you waste money. We the People need to focus on fixing the holes in the tank and new gaskets for our heads.

The money supply needs to be cut off from Taxes Banking/Wall Street and Insurance. A person would have to be truly stupid not to see, as most people suffer and poverty rates increase, Government Banking and Insurance are realizing huge profits and bonuses. The Stock Markets soars and Banksters post record profits. Even the bagman in the theft AIG is rewarding the pirates with bonuses. All accomplished in obscene unemployment and poverty.

People will not buy homes if the PITI, principal, interest, taxes and insurance are to high. People will not buy a car if they can't buy gas or afford insurance. The fear of the Banker taking your property in foreclosure is masked in the profit motives of the fees collected along the way. If foreclosure and repossession resulted in a loss for the Banksters the practice of writing bad loans would cease. Providing TARP money to the Bankster for repossession is lunacy to the taxpayer. Why would you encourage the Banks to foreclose on your property? Just like the great depression the people will never embrace a system of abuse. In 1934 laws were created to stop the very same abuses in Banking today. Those laws now, repealed signaled open season on corporate piracy.
Don't expect things to improve either because, as long as your money is being sent to a leaky gas tank or leaking valve covers the money will never come to you in reward. It's gone

Out of Egypt -- Happy Birthday Egypt

President Mubarak finally stepped down from power in Egypt. Mubarak in the end was not tossed out, thrown out or executed. In the end the people of Egypt simply refused to follow. The people of Egypt have learned, Democracy is not gifted, inherited or a right. Democracy is not for everyone, although none are denied.

Leaders who govern with fear from a police state cannot lead those who will not follow. The Fear of Police will only enrage The Patriots of Democracy

In some way the United States provided the Egyptian people with protection from genocide. Had Mubarak used deadly force the United States would have cut aid and forced the United Nations to remove the 30 year Dictator.
