Obama's Donut Economics

the ultra wealth and communist china are pleased with bho. his owners and his statist allies are happy. the middle class keeps getting squeezed. the parasites, the environmental extremists and the leftists will keep blaming bush as they take their subsidies, stipends and grants. bush should get some blame. he performed like a statist. obama makes the progressive bush look conservative.
statistics are disturbing when comparing numbers that prefer socialism to the constitutional republic. it appears we are close to an even division between those that want the liberty to succeed and those that want the security of the nanny state. the government schools and media seem to be doing a "good" job programming and conditioning and converting the young to the socialist welfare state.
socialism always produces a tyranical elite but by the time the bleating sheeple realise it is to late.
our rights are God-given. the state wishes to cast the illusion that they are government given. the deception seems to be working. if you choose to be a ward of the state then you surrender and the state becomes your parent.
be careful what you wish for.

Let CIT Fail: The Business Model Is Broken

i made a couple of trades on these 2 earlier. that worked out well. now things seem like such a convoluted mess i think it best to stay out of it.

Un-American Government Intervention

this situation is not new. the pace has increased to a run to take advantage of the crises. fabian never stops. the creeping socialism sees the chance to run. this is about power and control.
as long as i am able i will resist peacefully. the pressure against the bill of rights increases on every front.
the usual state of man through history is tyranny. the constitutional republic is worth saving.

Ken Lewis: The Government Made Me Do It!

on the marketwire this morning-
ceo of bb&t allison was talking about his sound bank being forced to take un-needed unwanted high interest tarp funds in order to spread the damage.

Ken Lewis: The Government Made Me Do It!

the people are the government? taxation without representation comes to mind.

America: The Land of the Fleece Scam

the illusion of great national wealth during the decades of looting gave the complacency and cover to drain the middle class.
i wonder how many americans have no debt so they can say what belongs to them is truly theirs.

USA Today: What Happens When Investment Bankers Run a Country

the republic was protected as were minority rights by constitutional, law and a system of checks and balances. it has been mangled, reinterpreted, and rearranged until it can be finished off by democracy (mob rule).
when banksters run the country they come to own all real assets. this is simply the warnings of the founders coming to fruition. they and their lobbyists have owned the politicians for a long time. think federal reserve as the owner of government rather than part of government. the lawyers they pay for make the laws for the bankster cartel.
voting integrity is subject to electronic integrity.

Accounting Changes Not Factored into the Stress Tests

hey jeff
i got four $500 cats i'll trade you for that $2000 dog. yeah i know two of the cats are dead but your dog only has one leg. i know some other guys that got valuable cats (yeah most of 'em are dead) if you have some more (crippled) valuable dogs. when we're done swappin' let's bundle 'em and sell 'em to governments.
it'll make our balance sheets look good.

The Virtue of the Republic

wpdragon
i understand and sympathize but i want them to have trials or grand jury hearings. for our sake not theirs. i imagine you like me try to obey the law (sometimes i like to drive to fast but that is the idiot kid in me). i want to be sure that there is always a fair trial for us so i have to want the same for them.
it is kind of like censorship. i don't want religion or porno censored because i don't want to be censored. besides free speech is a two-edged sword.

The Virtue of the Republic

harry
good article, common sense is stretching pretty hard in the district of illogic and unreason. i am to complimentary here to d.c.. i think more likely we are in the hands of gangster/thug types and have been for a long time. it profits them to protect the interests of the "corptocracy" (borrowing an sa posters term). using expansion and contraction i wonder how much of the "missing" fed money has ended up in real property and tangible assets to enrich the hard to find fed stockholders.
we have a long painful road to go to restore constitutional government. i think we need a firehose to wash out the stable (you know the horse excrement) to get rid of by the lawyers, of the lawyers, for those that pay the lawyers government. we probably should make it illegal for lawyers to hold any public office. we have politicians. we need statesmen.
the mistake we make is assuming they are stupid rather than malicious.

Freedom of Information Act Disclosure Busts Paulson, Geithner, Bair

the most entertaining part of watching the obamanation is to watch ford continue to refuse monies and strings so they can continue to build cars we want to buy. the government motors will have a tough time selling expensive, non-competitive electric crap. nothing against the electric car. still waiting for one that is functional and affordable. somehow i don't wish to bet on g.m..

Freedom of Information Act Disclosure Busts Paulson, Geithner, Bair

i don't think i will count on much justice.
the ruling elitests are obviously above the law. rules regulations, and laws only apply to us not them. obamamama wants law and the justices to bend and warp to fit his vision of utopia. it doesn't really matter what is legal or constitutional anymore (yes obamites, bush and clinton both were shredders of the constitution). what matters is protecting his enablers. (hillary was more a shredder of legal documents and evidence but the harpy knows how to trade o.j. futures.) the end (fascism) justifies the means. they are smart, brilliant, we are dumb peons that must be controled and protected from ourselves. the collective is what matters. the elitists say so. only they know and understand what is true and just.
try making a "mistake", an "oversight" or just "do not recall" with your taxes. see if it is gentle.
i will bet on the g.s. boy as the one who is teflon.

Do You Believe Borrowing Leads to Prosperity? (Part 2)

staying away from debt and avoiding paying interest has served me very well. if i had to borrow to buy i did without until i could pay for it. the exception was my first home. i payed it off 15 yrs early and promised myself "no more interest." this made it much easier to attain a healthy strong independent financial positon.
individuals and countries must live within their means.

i guess i better make a tin-foil hat if that goes with not liking socialist govt..
