????? THERE’s A DEAL ?????

Asked on “Fox News Sunday” if the deal could win approval from the conservative House GOP caucus, the party’s chief vote counter, Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), was noncommittal; stated, “I think the American people want a balanced budget, that’s where we stand, and that’s what we’ll fight for.”.

Thus the spin has begun – the Republicans are now saying that starving Americans whop have paid into Social Security for forty-five years, is what those Americans want.  But McCarthy is in denial and the Republicans are flat out liars – what America wants is the Budget Surplus that we had under Clinton.  It was a surplus that allowed for, and fully funded, entitlements and education.  It was a surplus that the Republicans squandered …

OK … so we are now going to have a year of bullshit spinning of the Republican attempts to destroy America … the majority is likely to buy it … and allow the Tea Party to retain it’s power.

Let’s see the votes.

Two Days left.

Will they find a way to screw us over?

ON (The Doctrine) BEINGNOTICED

Just came across a book on American Education … “The Manufactured Crisis” by David C. Berliner  and Bruce J Biddle … interesting.  Interesting in that it makes reference to the various ways those who promote “The Most Harm to the Most People” have been applying their techniques to the American Educational system – for at least 40 years.

One of the neat things about the destruction of education is the opposition to things that work – and the efforts to undermine realities.  We see this in Washington – do Senators and Congressman really need big staffs?   Why can’t they do their jobs – rather than party and “press the flesh”?  How much of their year is spent behind their REAL desks – the ones where votes are counted and debates held?

If we want a balanced budget, put computers on their desks, require they to learn to use them, and have them analyze EVERY DOLLAR they spent.  If it doesn’t put more into society than it takes out … don’t spend it.  The original Constitution stated that those who owned real assets (land) were the ones to pay taxes.  Let’s go back to that – those who own the businesses, the corporations, the million and billionaires, get taxed first – when they are out of money, only then do their employees get taxed.

GEE – They would very quickly strip the government of waste … if only to lower the amount of money the government needed to function and thus the amount of taxes demanded … it would be a free market economy response. (which they supposedly advocate).  But remember the goal:

“THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE”

Providing that excludes those in power.

Hey guy – Sunday, 1:38 – Anyone addressing that artificial the Debt Ceiling?

Employee Notice: New Government Benefits Programs (Just too funny)

EMPLOYEE NOTICE: New Government Benefits Programs

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the economy, Congress has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement, thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.

This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to Congress to be considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced Termination).

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).

A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Congress deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Congress.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Congress has always prided themselves on the amount of SHIT they give our citizens.

Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring this to the attention of your Congressman, who has been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.

Sincerely,

The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.)

PS - Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas and oil, as well as current market conditions, the Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off

“THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE”

VOTING STARTS – GOAL PERSISTS

By a vote of 218 to 210, the House narrowly passed GOP-Boehner debt-limit legislation Friday after Republican leaders revised it to gain the support of recalcitrant tea party conservatives, but Senate Democrats declared it dead on arrival.  The game is now to get a bipartisan plan that would raise the federal debt ceiling ahead of a potentially catastrophic U.S. default on Aug. 2.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) asked: “Why is it that the Republicans insist on having the middle class pay the price so the high end is off the hook?”

Obviously a rhetorical question – the wealth need to retain assets to use when the economy collapses.  But the Republicans want the economy to collapse – it must collapse!  They have been working to achieve that for over thirty years.

How close to the brink are they willing to go?  They need to set the stage for 2012.  But it is beginning to look like the real goal is to set the stage for 2016 – at which time, the horrors they create today cane be blamed on the Democrats.  Remember.  The long term goal is:

“THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE”

CLOCK IS TICKING

In January 2001, the U.S. budget was balanced for the first time in decades and the Congressional Budget Office was forecasting surpluses totaling $5.6 trillion by 2011.  George W Bush than overspent by $6.9 Trillion…. in the process he:

1.  forced energy prices up, by destroying Saddam Hussein and disrupting Iraqi suppression of OPEC power.

2. Allowed Bin Laden to escape and live in luxury within eyesight of those supposedly charged with seeking him out.

3. Encouraged the lending & housing Bubble which caused the current economic collapse.

4. Almost privatized Social Security – and certainly disrupted, or undermined, it by squandering the Trust Fund capital which was invested in Treasury Bonds … an investment the Republicans now want to default on.

The Republicans outsourced critical jobs – by encouraging tax breaks for companies and businessmen who moved their operations to other nations.  The lowered taxes with promises that their actions would “would lead to higher revenues and would force lower spending” … House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer has pointed out, “They did neither.”

We are now in a weekend countdown with FOUR DAY left before the Republicans manage to undermine local economies around the nation … but doing what Bush failed to do: destroy the social security portion of the economy.

For those who do not understand how it works:  Social Security is “Spending Money” – it is money paid to people who believed it would cover their retirement living expenses; it is pumped into the economy – a structural stimulus package which has been pre-invested for just this period in history.  Every dollar spent will circulate locally 7 to 10 times before it leaves the community where the retiree resides.  Give someone $1000 a month and you inject 7000 to 10000 into their community – at a grass roots level … you create a tide that rises and carries everyone up.  At a multiplier of 7 to 10, every thousand dollars of Social Security generates $980 to $1,400 of revenue into the social security fund …  In effect, Social Security (for those who need it to live on) social security income generates more income for the government than it takes … or it is a zero-sum expenditure.  Unspent money goes to savings and funds personal debt (home loans).  Medical – Medicaid & Medicare – have the same effect … they free personal income for circulation in the local economy, while, at the same time, providing funds to medical workers and improving the health of those retirees who wish to supplement their income by working, or do unpaid caregiver work … or, because they don’t themselves need caregivers, … allowing their families to work…

The Republicans have, consistently, opposed any effort to strengthen our economy … what they have done has been consistent … they promote:

“THE MOST HARM TO THE MOST PEOPLE”

ROLL CALL THURSDAY

Ok, here’s how it works – Thursday the House votes to support Republican plans to destroy the nation.

Boehner wins … America goes down the tubes – with the Baby-Boom Social Security and Entitlements being erased … No question … will serve them right for allowing the GOP to have years (in power) to set them up for economic hardship in their retirement years.

The game is simple – we play this again next year … just in time for elections … a year of spin and reliance on the gross stupidity of the average America voter – that’s what the GOP has going for it … and we can expect them to milk it.

The one thing we know – and history supports – is that there are NO Republicans who give a shit about America … all they care about is their own personal wealth and the guys who bribe them.

The Default Fun Goes On

According to The NY Times (July 26, 2011, “A Denial of Reality”)  this is a question and its answer: “How can so many Republican lawmakers justify pushing their country toward catastrophic default just to score ideological points? The answer can be found in their statements and writings:

They are constructing an alternative reality far different from that of most Americans.”

Contrary to what you have read here – with regard to the destructive results – per the Times article, the Republican controllers  have affirmed that they they seek “The Most Harm to the Most People”: “An arm of the Heritage Foundation sent out a letter Tuesday saying the government should live under the current debt ceiling rather than pass the Boehner plan, ignoring the need to raise the ceiling to pay for bills already incurred. Several right-wing bloggers, notably Erick Erickson of RedState, have threatened brimstone on any errant Republican lawmaker who even considers compromise with the president.”

Note that they have specifically advocated for NOT covering debts incurred already.  Basically, they want the system to collapse – after they very openly, vigorously, and intentionally doubled the National debt under Bush.  What did we get for that double?  Aside from eliminating taxes on the wealthy so they could export jobs and tax revenues to third world nations – where they escape taxes and employ child, or defacto-slave, labor?

The current Republican Party has only one goal – the end to America and individual freedom around the world.  How else can the Right-wing Evangelicals get their King, their divine monarchy and theocratic dictatorship?
