It's Impossible For Governments To Grow Their Way Back To Solvency | ZeroHedge

The options for governments to keep the money train going...
The only questions are when and how. The options are asset confiscation, explicit default, surreptitious default (financial oppression), or conventional fiscal tightening.
The path that will be taken will not be one the minimizes the population's economic disruption but one that minimizes political pain.

The economic intervention of governments will end its just a question as to when not if.

Hey, Boston: Leave Chick-fil-A alone

Northeast progressive attack a business because its CHRISTIAN. This is not a ll surprising to me since wild eyed northeast Democrats, thinking themselves the beacon of tolerance, fight Christians and Christian values at every opportunity that they get. I find northeast liberals repulsive in their attitudes and have dressed themselves up in being the arbitrators of the new social order. A social order where wealth is redistributed, religion is not tolerated, alternative sexual lifestyles are elevated to absurd social status and conservative dissent is shut down. Sounds like communism to me...
As I reported last year, the Cathy family’s commitments to “glorify God” and “enrich the lives of everyone we touch” have made them public enemies of the progressive left. Never mind that the company’s community service initiatives have supported foster care, summer camp scholarships and marriage enrichment. Never mind Chick-fil-A’s family-strengthening and faith-enhancing decision to forgo profits and close every Sunday to give workers a day of worship and rest.

Media mis-information (or lying) about teh tea party....

The media has no shame. AS shills for the Democrats, they will say or do anything to support the party. Isn't that just propaganda?

I already knew this despite the blathering by typical, vegan anti-fracking Democrats that want to not only control my economic opportunity but also what I eat, think and drink.

Another Quote...

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." -French economist, statesman and author Frederic Bastiast (1801-1850)-
Seems relevant today.

Quote of the day....

"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation." -Vladimir Ilyich Lenin-
The current government in the united States is trying to achieve just that.

The poor Obamessiah...

Fun fact of the day.....
From 1929 to 1932, the total amount of money paid out in wages fell by 60%, according to historian Frederick Lewis Allen. By contrast, from 2007-2009, total American wages fell less than 5%. What we experienced in recent years was nothing close to the Great Depression.
So, how bad has it really been? And government has been proven to be impotent to do anything about it. Furthermore, I am of the opinion that government ineptitude is to blame for much of the recent recession(s) and totally responsible for the inability to get back on the right track.

Why the current occupant of the Whitehouse may actually have a positive impact on the United States...
The president’s central case rests on the idea that individuals should view government as society’s moral center, the engine of prosperity and the arbiter of fairness.
Dependency, sloth and emboldened self interests executed through government instead of the competitive marketplace of products and ideas is not something that is sustaining to any nation especially the USA. Hopefully, the "Change" offered by socialists as of late will lead Americans to see how unproductive and morally bankrupt socialism is or even the US's version of socialism and start to turn the ship back to the self reliant, competitive and dynamic place that is has been for many of its years. Otherwise, the nation is doomed to fail as will many of the Euro social democracies will.

What I am hoping for is that the United States does not have to endure a military or totalitarian regime prior to its renaissance.

U.S. Public-Pension Shortfall $4.6 Trillion, Budget Group Says - Bloomberg

State and local government pension plans are underfunded to the tune of $10,000 for each man, woman and child in the USA. This will have to met by taxes or reduced benefits to those that are promised these benefits.

This is dwarfed by obligations on the Federal level that are by definition underfunded since money is never set aside for these benefits or transfer payments. This underfunding totals around $100,000 for every man, woman and child in the US. And this is just for promised retirement benefits, nothing else such as defense, courts and the such on the national level or police, schools and garbage collection on the local level. Its a mess and these promises will never ever be met. Government has made huge promises that they will never be able to deliver. DO NOT trust the government.

Obama to Americans: You don't deserve what you've earned | The Daily Caller

If you are successful, its not due to your own effort. If you have saved money and invested it successfully, its not yours. Justification for seizing the product of your labor comes from socialists that want to distribute it to their friends and voters. Good luck USA, you will never be able to extract yourself from this evil...
There are a lot of wealthy, successful Americans who agree with me — because they want to give something back. They know they didn’t — look, if you’ve been successful, you didn’t get there on your own. You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, well, it must be because I was just so smart. There are a lot of smart people out there. It must be because I worked harder than everybody else. Let me tell you something — there are a whole bunch of hardworking people out there. (Applause.)

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.
Governments have killed and murdered 10's of millions of their citizens and those of other countries over the past century justified in all kinds of ways. This nonsense from the Obamessiah is just more of the same and I guarantee that this will result in anarchy and chaos.

Budget Insanity | RealClearPolitics

Quote of the day....
"Centrally planned monopolies do things that are wasteful, redundant and unnecessary."
Seems like plain ol' common sense to me.

Budget Insanity | RealClearPolitics

Althouse: "Money the government is spending on old people means young people are free not to take care of them."

And now, the government has become the basis of our expectations. There's a feeling of security (especially if you don't think too hard). And there's a freedom from the bondage of family. The government is more your family than your family.

Aren't you happy? Aren't you free? Don't you love Big Brother?
Its even more insidious than that. Why care about about anyone. Why believe in God? Why be part of a community? Why not just be a bunch of nihilists like Europe?
