Subject: RE: BS: The Tea Party- New & Improved Thread...
Well, Thanks Don and 'Guest 999'. Had you not have brought that up, it may have slipped my mind, as well! (sometimes an admission of an oversight, has its benefits for the whole).
Maybe its time to re-visit OUR involvement in treaties that override our own laws! NATO was originally meant as an balance to offset the Warsaw Pact. My how they are morphing! Makes you wonder why SEATO isn't in the middle east as well!...or the countries involved with NAFTA(another hunk of bullshit), passed during a Christmas break, under Clinton!
As to John's assertion: "Here's the deal: if we get the deficit under control and keep paying off the debt, maybe increase the payments, it will eventually go away."
The taxes from the 'private sector' is what pays deficit. Government FUNDED 'employment', is paid for, by, you guessed it, TAXES,..which is self defeating, because the jobs created by the government, which is made up of 'service jobs' do NOT create wealth...being as the salaries and benefits, that pay for them, only ADD to the deficit!!!
That being said, the INTEREST to pay for these government jobs, and to pay for new programs, is exactly what is crushing our, and the world's economy...including Freddie and Fannie, 'cash for clunkers' 'Obama care', bailouts, and the wars!...among others. The guys at the top, make up the Plutocracy, that Don mentioned earlier. that Plutocracy has no allegiance to us, other than enriching themselves, by providing 'loans' to facilitate THEIR agenda, not ours, or for that matter, either of the political parties. Those people would, will, and have, throw all of us under the bus, at the drop of a hat, if America, who is in so-called debt to them, would wise up, and return to OUR own Constitutional government, even prosecute those who have broken our laws, and seize their 'embezzled' assets, and return it back to where it came from!!!!!!! THEN, you might accomplish something close to what people are clamoring about, when the make 'tax the rich' a political talking point! The people I'M talking about, would also be brought up on war crime charges, as well!
What I've been saying, for quite some time now, is, it is these bastards, who have been CORRUPTING our form of government, BOTH parties, selling us notions to believe in, dividing us as Americans, over the issues,....that usually get resolved, by another expensive program, which of course, they are 'at the ready' to 'loan' us money, or act as middlemen, to secure a purchase of the bonds,...all for the price of THE INTEREST!!
That interest has become the LARGEST deficit of our economy, more than 'social benefit programs', more than our 'unfunded' wars, more than the cost of running our government, more than...well, its the biggest thing!
So when you hear the debate about 'raising the debt ceiling' that issue is merely widening our ability to afford more borrowing, for..you guessed it again, feeding these bastards! I hold suspect ANY politician, and news media outlet, who are under the control, of the IMF(Tim Geitner, and therefore, Obama), along with international banking organizations, and their ilk. Watch for the rise of Rick Perry for President. He's the one they are backing, this time around. Watch his 'meteoric' rise in news coverage, for name recognition. When you see it, note the tactics. note the groundswell....and by the way, they will also back other 'lesser' choices, as well. Keeps the political divide active, which in turn, keeps people's attention, away from them!!..(BTW, another is Romney...I think they've used up Obama, so he gets the 'under the bus toss').
...and all this time, a lot of suckers bought into the 'Hope and Change' folly!!!
I just hope people will wake up, rub their eyes from a long deluded sleep, restore hope IN themselves, and do their part in affecting a change....after all, don't you play a six stringed sword?
