January 1, 2016 News Blinders

Listened to one, top of the hour newscast and turned the radio off... it was more than I could take.

Why, you ask?  Because they were reporting disinformation as fact.

# 1 Hypocrisy  Stock market falling because of China economy faltering.   FACT - the whole worlds economy is faltering because they have to pay so much more for American goods & services.  Their cost has jumped 20% in the last year.  That my friend is a lot of inflation!  The dollar has increased in value by that much against the average currency around the globe. Not saying a strong dollar is bad... it is just that there are things that happen that sometimes hurts in unexpected ways to the average person not understanding economics on a global scale.  Oh, it sounds good... and puts the blame on someone else, but hardly the real reason for the fall... not saying the dollar increase is all the reason... I believe there are more reasons we don't know about but will become evident later. 

# 2 Hypocricy  Leftist want to control gun violence... by making it harder for the average citizen to obtain guns, and California wants to make all education centers GUN FREE.  FACT - It isn't about saving lives or stopping violence.  It is about finding out who has guns and what they have. A registry.  No, they just want to make sure you are safe enough to purchase.  Think about this.  If I remember right, all the guns used in the major mass killings in the last 2 - 5 years were guns purchased legally.  So how is one more process going to stop anything?  Sooner or later they will know what you have and then they will come for them.  That is just the way it works. It is about doing something that sounds good right now.

#3 Hypocricy  California wants to ban chewing tobacco in the major stadiums.  For what reason?  I didn't wait around for the reason... I can't imagine what it would be.  Health?  Don't think so... FACT - this is the crowd that wants to legalize marijuana, but wants to limit you usage of chew & cigarettes. It isn't really about what is good for anyone, it is about doing something that sounds good. These are the people who said 10 years ago we would be a waste land and burning up by now.  

Going over the cliff!

Go ahead!  Go on over.   It will be a rough ride down.... think we will survive?

So what is the real picture?  We are told that this situation couldn't get any worse.... but I think it can get seriously worse and we still won't be over the cliff.  The problem is it is being made into a serious fundamental problem of eppic proportions and the fix is something that is going to be worse than the problem.  Do you think anyone in this administration really understands and cares?  I don't see any evidence of it.... taking off to Hawaii again.... on a 4 plus million holiday vacation.  How is that serious in the middle of a serious problem.  An empty White House reminds me of the empty chair.

Don't fall for it... the solution is worse than the problem.  Do we have a problem?  OF COURSE we do... but it is not because someone isn't paying enough.  We are all paying more than we should have to.  But the politician's in Washington want you to believe we need to spend more.  Folks, the government is spending more to take care of this country than this country can produce in product to pay for the government we are receiving.  Doesn't that sound like a problem?  A simple problem in reality... we are receiving too much GOVERNMENT! 

Someone needs to be man enough or woman enough to stand up and shout it from the roof tops.  How about an adult?  Can someone just say it... we need to stop the bleeding, shut it down. How about this revelation, before we turn the light switch on in the first office tomorrow, the government has run out of money for the day.  The contract obligations, social security, medicare, interest on debt, are greater than we can afford.  That is before we get started with one employee.

OWE BOMB wants to increase taxes, but not cut spending till some unspecified time in the future.  This sounds exactly like what they did to Reagan.  Give us these increases here and we will give you these cuts over here... but oh they forgot to tell him they were for 1, 2, 5 years down the road and plenty of time for them to be x'd out of the budget and forgotten.... but who cares... they got the increases they wanted. So with the tax cuts he got through, the economy exploded and expanded to increase the flow of money to the treasury by almost twice.... while the congress controlled by the demorats, increased spending by three times as much.

So.... where do we start the cutting?  How about just stopping the increasing.  Every year the government is suppose to grow it's spending by x number of dollars.  WHY?  Everyone else has to get by on less money.  Why can't the government? In Washington, a cut is spending less than the increase allowed.  If we spent 100 dollars this year and next year we are suppose to spend 110, and someone says we should only spend 100, we are cutting the spending by 10%.  Only in Washington is that considered a cut.... only by a politician would a steady budget be considered a cut.... because that would mean he doesn't get his pay increase.

Freeze the government!  Stop the bleeding, stop the nonsense, send them home for the next 9 months and leave us alone so we can recover from the current decimation of our society.  We can't take it any more... so just leave us alone.
