Tagged as: Political, Rant

Here’s a headline from today’s New York Times:
Bernanke Signals Fed is Ready to Prop Up Economy
I love that!  I wanted to add a few more:

Mafia Boss Ready to Administer Humanitarian Aid
Enron Executives Named Heads of SEC
Mark McGuire to Investigate Steroid Use in Baseball
Bill Gates Book Details Struggles of Living in Poverty

Anyone else find ALL these [...]

Consider this…

Point 1:
If the healthcare bill passes, it’s likely that more people in the USA will work for the federal government than any other employer in the country.  If that happens, how likely do you think getting representatives elected that want to ACTUALLY reduce the size of government is going to be?  “Let’s see…vote for someone [...]

H1N1 Causes Rampant…Profits?

Man, do I feel better.  I was all prepared for the world to end because, you know, this H1N1 flu thing was going to kill us all.  I mean, the government and the health care industry told me that if I didn’t vaccinate myself and my family with this new additional vaccine that we’d all [...]

Don’t Get Giddy Yet Republicans

So Massachusetts elected a Republican to replace Ted Kennedy in the Senate, thus providing the Republicans with enough seats to filibuster.  Oh, and Kool-Aid drinkers across the country are just giddy.  Typically liberal Mass has put a Republican in the Senate!  The tide is turning on Obama!
Hang on a second.  I would advise all my [...]

It’s All A Big Distraction

Healthcare reform.  Cap and trade.  Afghanistan.  Iraq.  The economy.  Etc, etc, etc.
Are you following these issues closely?  If so, you’re like so many others who are, at least in my opinion, ignoring the one singular issue that ties it all together - The Federal Reserve and monetary policy.
Yes it’s a boring topic but my belief [...]

A Rebuttal to “I Am An American Conservative”

October 13th, 2009 – 10:47 pm
Tagged as: Political

A Facebook friend of mine recently posted a short commentary that was posted on Salon.com which cleverly and satirically calls out conservatives on their positions against government run healthcare.  You can read the article here.  This posting is very clever and the sense of irony it creates is certainly an effective approach to making the [...]

Someone Explain to me How Taking Away the Rights of Law Abiding Citizens Accomplishes Anything

September 1st, 2009 – 10:01 pm
Tagged as: Political, Rant

In a world of uncertainty, there is at least one thing that you can count on…there is a segment of the US population that is convinced that limiting the rights of law abiding citizens to keep and carry guns somehow will better society.  These folks are out there spreading misinformation on this topic again, right [...]

We Might Owe More Dollars than Exist

This will be a quick post.  I just thought the one or two people who read this blog might like to know that…
As of Tuesday (August 25) the United States’ national debt stood at 11.7 trillion dollars.  Let me write that number for you…
$11,700,000,000,000.
Also, you probably don’t know this but a few years ago the [...]

Support HR 1207!

Tagged as: Political

Please encourage your representative to support HR 1207.  This bill would require an audit of the Federal Reserve.  If you’ve read my posts before, you know that I have great concern about the Fed and its strangle hold over our currency.  This bill is the first step towards a more sound monetary policy in the [...]

Let’s keep this simple: the government doesn’t do things well. Why would we want them running our healthcare?

This will be a short post.  I just want anyone reading this to think about this -
The post office -losing money.
Amtrak - losing money.
Medicare - losing money.
Social security - broke.
OUR ENTIRE GOVERNMENT - BROKE.
Why don’t people see?  Government can not run anything efficiently because it has no incentive to. It is the one organization that [...]
