I have always thought that for the left (liberals/progressives) like yourself, to adopt the attitude of knowing how everyone else should conduct their lives was the height of arrogance and hypocrisy. Lounge jacketed, pipe smoking, pointy-headed, butt sniffing academicians residing in their ivory towers... that consistently mistake education for intelligence, devote their lives to telling all of us how to raise our kids, how to get and maintain a relationship, what to eat, what constitutes a good marriage, how to have sex and where and with whom... they are the most overstuffed, self absorbed, belly-button staring group of mentally deficient jerks in the universe. Their 'moral-relativism' has done more to destroy western culture than all of the wars, despots and terrorists in history.

Except for that... I think they are nice people.

I lost a lot of money in the stock market at one time, and my wife couldn't understand where it went... one day it was worth X and the next it was worth X-(). I think a similar lack of understanding surrounds the creation of money through debt and monies subsequent disappearance when debts are paid.

This relationship totally explains why the Fed (gov) is so afraid of deflation. During deflation people take on less new debt; the number of dollars in circulation decreases, thereby increasing the purchasing power of each dollar. As prices drop people look for ways to get out of the debt they had assumed on those items. The recent housing bubble-burst is a perfect example; people go into bankruptcy rather than continue to pay (with more valuable dollars) on an item that in many cases has a market value lower than what they owe on it. Bankruptcy... whether it's private or public, results in wiping out debt and removing dollars from circulation. Less dollars in circulation means less dollars for the banks to collect interest and fees on--add that to the resistance people and business have to take on new debt and you have a deflation spiral which endangers the existence of the banks... including the Fed should it get that far.

No Fed... no bank window where the gov can borrow with the stroke of a computer key. The Treasury would have to go back to balancing it's books between tax income plus income from selling bonds... and the budget passed by Congress, as it did prior to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. An obvious bonus would be the necessity of a balanced budget from Congress.

After reading the two books... 'The Creature From Jekyll Island' and 'The Tower of Basel'... I have a realization, bordering on disbelief, of the raw power wielded by the financial barons of the world. It is abundantly clear that they will take any action they deem necessary to protect their fiefdom. They are almost completely devoid of political ideology or patriotism... their one allegiance is to each other and their total control of the creation of money... and that control depends solely on the creation of debt and it's maintenance. They therefore, make every effort to put each country into the position of perpetual debt... a return to a 'hard money' standard would virtually put them out of business. One can only imagine the lengths to which these barons would go to maintain their hold on this financial power.

Just muse on this; money does not exist except as debt... no money comes into existence without someone or some entity having first borrowed it. If all of the outstanding debts everywhere were to be paid... money would disappear. And who are the lenders? The banks. All money has it's origin in a central bank. Central banks were established to give the governments of the countries a source of unlimited borrowed funds. That is why no government will abolish them or even seriously challenge their operations.

This ponzi scheme is the ultimate Emperor's New Clothes phenomena, except the we... the great unwashed, are in the unenviable position of the clueless Emperor.

The dims are trying to blame the ACA web-site debacle on the R's for not helping them 'fix' ObozoCare. As Obozo keeps lamenting, "When you have one party invested in the ACA failing, it makes it harder to get fixes done". Now, I ask you... when was the last time you heard a losing football team complain that the winners didn't help them win the game? The dims are like petulant teens blaming their problems on their parents... their teachers... their friends... the law... anyone but themselves. Hey liberals... of course we want you to fail... you are in the process of flushing our country down the toilet. Why wouldn't we want you to fail?

Henry Chao deputy chief information officer at the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services, said today that up to 40% of the IT systems supporting the ObozoCare Insurance Exchanges... still need to be built, taking approx another six months. What? Can this be written off as normal gov ineffectiveness... or was the debacle planned? Why would such a plan be hatched in the first place? Consider this:
It would perfectly fit a scenario calling for a single payer system. First...
The exemptions granted to companies by Obozo will expire next year. As a result...
Over 100,000,000 people will be thrown off their now perfectly satisfactory private, or company sponsored insurance policies. Resulting in...
The collapse of ObozoCare as written. Then...
People will clamor for a fix. And lastly...
Obozo will execute an emergency executive order establishing 'Single Payer Gov Health Insurance', i.e., Socialized Medicine.

Girl... you are right on the money. Obozo and his merry band of radicals are salivating at the prospect of controlling nearly 20% of the U.S. economy. Next biggie on their agenda is virtual open boarders through immigration reform. This will insure a majority of voters for the dims for decades into the future--and the Republicans still haven't figured out that they are not in a traditional tit for tat political battle. This group of radical lefties are not out to win a point or two they are out to obliterate the opposition (us) for years into the future so they will have a free hand to implement their Collectivist government they have dreamt about since the Progressives of the Teddy Roosevelt days.

Got a suggestion for those of you who shake your heads and think that what Carolyn is suggesting here is an impossibility... look up 'Cloward-Piven Strategy' on Google and catch up on the changes Obozo has in store and how he and his ilk plan on getting there. Another good source to help you understand Obozo is Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals'.

Lets suppose, just for drill, that the dims had actually sat down with those wascally, stupid Tea Party radicals and hammered out a deal to "fix" things... what might that deal have looked like? Well, it might have included the delay of implementation of the individual mandate... thereby forestalling the exasperating, and to several millions, the terrifying experience of losing the health care insurance most had had for years, and with which they were perfectly happy. That would have prevented the partial gov vacation... whereby many of the employees have managed to get double pay by receiving unemployment insurance added to their back pay. It also would have accomplished, with relative ease, what now must be done with emergency legislative surgery--too, it would have prevented the quite impossible political position that Obozo and the dims now find themselves. It might also have perpetuated the zombie like trance that the dim voters have been in for the past 5 years--instead, some... not unlike​ Ca. Senator​ Di​anne​ Feinstein​ , are beginning to see that the 'emperor has no clothes'... and that's just from losing his jacket... just wait till ObozoCare is fully implemented... the illusion is completely dispelled, and he appears as he truly is--naked and without substance.

I don't know how submissive the law requires a citizen to be when under the control of police... but you don't dare resist physically--you could end up severely beaten or perhaps dead. They have all of the power and the resources to bring to bear as much of that power as they deem necessary to subdue an individual and bring them into compliance.

What should a person do? Not what can a person legally do... but what should a person do? I say submit and live to fight back through the courts and politics--get some laws changed, and work to change the police/community culture.

So much that he undoubtedly squishes when he walks.

Passed by Congress...?? Actually it did not receive a single 'R' vote in either house... so dingy harry (reid) broke Senate rules and put the bill into a conference committee where the dims needed only a simple majority to pass it, and pass it they did--without a single Republican vote. First time in history a major piece of legislation (20% of our economy) was crammed through without bi-partisan support. Additionaly... the public was then, and still is, overwhelmingly against ObozoCare.

I find it ironic that racism rarely enters a discussion or even off hand remarks unless someone on the left throws it out there as an accusation. Makes me wonder just who are the racists these days. It seems to be important for the left to keep the race-ball in the air. No one that I know personally... ever mentions it unless referring to a charge leveled by someone on the left at someone on the right. And who is it that constantly calls our attention to race or color with comments like--first black president, something everyone in the world knows by now, but the left keeps throwing it out into a discussion--we hear, first black to climb Mt. Everest or first black to fly upside down in a Piper Cub.... and on and on it goes. Who cares what color he/she is... lets celebrate the achievement not the color of the person who did it. I still say to watch who brings race into the discussion... there you will find the racists. Non-racists notice color or ethnicity... but don't care.

Brother Sanchez... Weather report says it's 72 degrees in Los Vegas and slightly cloudy; sounds like a pretty nice day--why don't you put you pants on, leave your basement and go take a walk?
