Debt

The basis of his economic theory

May 7, 2013

You can steal from your children and your grandchildren with impunity because, after all,  ”In the long run, we’re all dead“. “We repudiated entirely customary morals, conventions and traditional wisdom.

The Sedately Blindfolded…

April 11, 2013

At first glance, I thought “oh, a juxtaposition of encroaching Islam and the West’s willing full blindness to it”. But after just an exhale, I thought, the clear, focused eye of the vigilant vs the languid, insouciant, and blithe blindfolded adorning rube extends beyond the global cultural tectonic  shifts.  The blindfold’s breadth is exceedingly broad.  [ Read more ]

Is Senator Shaheen Your Senator…or Just the Democrat Party Senator?

April 8, 2013

New Hampshire US Senator Jeanne Shaheen is not here to talk to any little people that are not her little people.   When asked a question about more spending stimulus, as recommended by President Obama, that would be more debt spending at the expense of our children and their children, she couldn’t even be bothered to respond. I guess she’s [ Read more ]

The White House is out with its Sequester Doom & Gloom – but what does the chart really say?

February 8, 2013

Ah yes, Obama hoisted on his own petard.  How “smooth” is it for the White House to start hauling out these “the Sequester is going to hurt children and old people” stats, but fail to note “Oh yeah, our boss was the one that first suggested this with his last self-serving hissy fit on the [ Read more ]

Data Point – Future Entitlement Spending

February 5, 2013

Obama – always the victim

January 15, 2013

A primary tool of any Community Organizer is to create a set of people to believe they are victims.  Victims of a circumstance, victims by “authority”, victims by ginning up a fabricated storyline (see: Reverands Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson as examples).  Well, isn’t it rather obnoxious to see the most powerful man in the [ Read more ]

An indictment of America’s political class

December 22, 2012

Bill Whittle speaking on America’s current political leadership: “The stockpile of wealth that it has taken over 200 years to accumulate has been spent. The miserable, unserious, criminally negligent, incompetent, immoral, reprehensible, traitorous, swine have spent every last gold coin in America’s former mountain of wealth. And they haven’t stopped.” From Afterburner. Well. Worth. Watching.

Add on thought from my previous post – whose really is kidding who?

December 18, 2012

The Fiscal Cliff – such a crisis.  A man-made crisis created by Politicians that had 10 years to defuse it (the expiration of the Bush era tax cuts).  It does have real consequences – and in the end, won’t solve the two biggest problems we have: a $16 Trillion debt and that we are adding [ Read more ]

We’re $16,000,000,000,000 in debt.

Can Using Only Tax Increases Address The Debt Problem?

October 3, 2012

This is how I understand it. We have $16,000,000,000,000 in debt.  We’re spending $1,000,000,000,000 more a year than we bring in, and we’ve been doing it for the last 4 years. As a conservative, I see it as a spending problem; we simply spend more money than we have. We get the money by borrowing [ Read more ]
