Congressional RICO

Dear Joe Leiberman;

As chairman of the U.S. Senate committee investigating what appears to be widespread and a genuine violation of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization act, with respect to this “Congressional” insider trading scam, I was very excited when from that hearing you said that by this day's end - Wednesday, December 7^th - that you would have moved a bill out of committee that would abolish this egregious behavior. Oh, I stand corrected, as the official date for something constructive this issue was December 15^th, not today. Give me a break, what does it take or for that matter how long does it take to make legislation that says “Congressmen” fall under the same laws, rules and regulations as all Americans? Even the Wall Streeters don't get away with this type of thievery. Look, one man's gain is another man's loss. To not have a law front and center by now, it points to a culture of corruption. Why is it taking so long, or is it a ways and means to construct very complicated legislation that doesn't do anything to ban this practice and allows it to be enjoyed by those that missed out on the opportunity? This is what we know is going down, for sure, as you guys don't give a rat's ass what we think. Just because we found out what was going on, and called your bluff, now you sit behind closed doors thinking up a way just to fool Americans into believing you guys care. I'm from Alaska, and when Mark Begich introduced his thoughts, that like Wall Street disclosure would be required within 48-hours so “Congressmen” could enjoy the benefits of playing the stock market, I threw away my voter registration card! What is with this guy, is there something in the water there with the Potomac? Maybe you should invest in bottled water. Disclosure? Like its OK as long as you tell us up front that you are ripping off the system of merits? And if I wanted to waste time tracking you bastards, if I saw a disclosed “Trade” that was suspicious, what the hell would one do? File a complaint? Look and you know this so true, there is a thing called “Ethics”, pure and simple. Bottom-line, even if something comes out of committee that bans this occupation, the reputation is already tarnished, as it went on, on your watch. I ask, what other illegal acts, illegal from the standpoint of how the rest of us must act, what else is going on today up on the “Hill” that is questionable with respect to law abiding citizenship? Look, and you know this from your years at the podium. Congress can approve an act of war in a heartbeat if need be. And I guess that is my point, as Congress has indeed approved an act of war, upon America! Sure there is the 1% and the rest of us, but it is indeed a 3-party race, the 1%, the 99% and the Congress. What side are you really on?

A New Age War

Who in hell is bombing Iran? Just a few weeks ago, a missile test facility was destroyed and now we find out that a top secret U.S. drone took a wrong “hard right” turn and augured into the Iranian desert, and was soon apprehended by the Iran government for trespassing. No big deal, as there isn't much they can do with the junk. It's a small plane without a pilot and some camera equipment. Look, if it were indeed “Top Secret” stuff, it would have been equipped with on-board destruct instructions. Loss of communications, boom! Loss of flight maneuverability, boom! It is well known that “espionage efforts” in the form of a “Siemen's S7 computer virus” have been infiltrating the “back-door” sovereignty of Iran, in efforts to cause chaos upon industrial processing equipment – underwear making plants, etc. Look, want to cause a nation to revolt, take away the underwear! Now that kind of Spy vs. Spy stuff makes for good movie making and goes on, boys will be boys! But it appears things are starting to escalate in that theater, a hot-bed with respect to Israel's peace and quiet. So who is behind this escalation, as surely it is not the Obama administration, as too get involved now with 2012 on the horizon, not a good game plan? Then again, no secret and not a tough question with answer as too who is behind this escalation. See, it is the American made “War Machine” that is getting scared so involved, wherein it should just mind its own business. But when no laws are present to prevent it, as it is not treason, there is no stopping this Casey Jones extravaganza. And this “secret” involvement is not promulgated upon the fact that Iran is close to producing a deterrent, its own nuclear warhead, but the “War Machine” is running scared because the “golden goose” is going home. With the Iraq conflict's closing arguments finished and the jury verdict sentencing the American troops home, it won't be long before the NATO conflict in Afghanistan finds the same “Happy” ending. “Ding Dong the...” In Afghanistan, like occurred in Iraq, the American “War Machine” has received a hefty-helping handout, from Uncle Sam. What is still awaiting approval by Congress as an “Act of War”, the overseas conflicts generate over $350-Billion yearly in revenues for the “private” entities engaged in the “fight”. With that said, the defense contractors can not come to grips the realization that what has been feeding their addiction to money for profits is about to take a breather - that scenario the wives' of the CEOs cannot stand. Gone will be the $10-million dollar bonus, for husbands that work all day long trying to keep the war efforts going then go home at night to their gated communities and hug their “piggy banks”, what family? With “privatized” military men armed with the same weapons as found carried around by an American troop and the “privates” not armed by any Code of Conduct when in theater, they have all the reasons in their unsupervised play book to let the American “Occupation” and military presence fall under the auspices of “Mission Creep”. Paid for Soldiers and their subordinates are getting filthy rich upon this “New Age” war, a.k.a. Soldiers of Fortune! And when one considers the fact that besides no beds for our returning troops at the dilapidated military bases around this nation, gone to ruins due the fact the money has been spent abroad to defend something that is still questionable and the fact that the jobs' market for kids only qualified to carry out reconnaissance missions is dwindling here in the states, there isn't much future hope for the troops coming home. They have served their time and now they face the ugly facts of what to do for the rest of their lives, if they still have their limbs in tact. So with the “Billionaires' War”, it is easy too see not only a “privatized” army excited about their next “mission”, but from the executive ranks a secret agent agenda, to keep the heat on, like secretly attacking Iran to raise the blood pressure. And if they have it their way, it will continue as they know they have a qualified and unemployed workforce at their disposal. How sick this mentality, that “War” is for profit only these days. See, that is what is so wrong with “War” today. It is honored as a profit making scene, wherein “death” and “collateral damage” is but the accepted fallout of a sick society. Look, we all know that we have no control, as these private militias are armed to the gill and are today a match upon our own men in uniform. War, shame on US! It has created a “monster” and to be honest with you, war is outdated! In honor of John Lennon, “War is over if you want it”, how true! War had its chance, it proved its point, now maybe it is time to give “Peace” a chance, just too see the outcome of smiles over death stares between the eyes. So here it is in a nutshell, let Iran acquire a nuclear warhead, for two reasons. Our country has been haunted for years over its participation in the “Little Boy” singeing of the Hiroshima landscape and the “Fat Man” singeing of the Nagasaki landscape and leaving behind radioactive contaminated destruction, which is something we will never be allowed to forget, a scar that we will never forget in which 200,000 victims were burned alive. Secondly, if Iran is stupid enough to attack any other country with a nuke, think of the wrath attack from neighboring nations, including the U.S. The history books will be able to inform future generations that there was at one time an “Under-wear” factory in a place that will for years be a super landscaped “glass onion”, as the entire desert will be fused together. But reasoning to the contrary pushes us in that direction, because of another kind of “greed”, that of “Power”. When PNAC - Project for the New American Century - tried to engage then U.S. President Bill Clinton upon its selfish agenda, Iran was the target. Bill laughed and they were forever banned from the White-house, until Bush was given the keys. Since then the neo-Conservatives have been using Iraq as a testing grounds, so there is pressure, not upon the administration, but pressure on these “private” defense agents that can carry out the PNAC secret agenda. It boils down to “greed”, America's greatest disease, as we realize today that it is not an individual nation that predicates war upon others, it is fostered through internal factions, like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, no different then the players behind the present day American “War Machine”. Outfits like “Blackwater” have gotten too damn big and powerful as a “War Machine” instigator, a 20,000 plus army and its own air force. And since they have the means and dedication, it becomes a convenient outlet for someone within an organization that has the money to buy their service. They are only in it for the money, the power brokers only in it for the power, a couple made for each-other. In the case of PNAC, which now hides under the umbrella of the Foreign Policy Initiative, there comes a wealth of wealth, and since they do not like Obama, we will see an escalation. The War Machine continues to profit, through the PNAC agenda, that of taking over the world because of our "Democratic Republic” and its appearance second to none. Sure, make us all the same, a cloned nation. Just ask the Native American Indians what they think about this plan of attack?

Health Risk Coverage

In this day and age of a “do nothing” Congress enjoying an approval rating providing a “Divide by Zero” error output to the rating's community computer algorithm, I must admit one specialty Congress plays favor with, our health! Especially if it is something that poses a risk, wherein Congress finds it necessary to provide coverage. Now this doesn't involve ObamaCare! But when something comes along and for a longtime we become the guinea pigs, then we find out it is something of an addiction hazardous to our health, Uncle Sam realizes that the “Addiction” aspect means money - through heavy taxation upon this crutch. Take cigarettes for instance. The present day Federal Excise Tax per pack is $1.05, or about 20% of total cost. Designed in efforts to reduce consumer demand – kicking the habit – it brings in approximately $10-Billion dollars of extra income to the U.S. Treasury. Wow! Take motor gasoline for instance. With an 18-cent per gallon Federal Excise Tax, designed in efforts to reduce consumer demands – kicking the habit – the U.S. Treasury enjoys about $30-Billion in extra income had not this commodity been taxed. Wow some more! Take alcohol for instance. With a 58-cent Federal Excise Tax on a bottle of beer, along with a $1.00 FET to enjoy a bottle of vino, along with $13.50 FET on the Jack, an additional $10-Billion makes its way to the vault. Wow again! So habit forming things that prove to be detrimental upon this country's social order, it finds a tax burden, once again all designed in efforts to “Reduce Consumer Demands”. The demand thing never works, but the money keeps on coming. Why should Congress get overly involved with the real problem, as that may mean reduced taxation, which means less money for the “pork” giveaway promises. So it can be said that “habit” forming things makes money, for the “pushers” and the Tax-man. Now we have before us today like yesterday another thing upon which we have played the guinea pig foolhardy roll for way too long, something that has proven to be hazardous to our wellbeing, and something that needs one of those taxation fixations applied. It is called the “Lobbyists” as the “pusher-man” and our representatives as the addicts – an addiction for the lobbyists' boot full of loot. Look, Congress bends way down to kiss their feet, so yes “Boot” loot. So it is a simple fix. Look we can't even get the Supreme Court Justices to realize America has and continues to be sold to the highest donation of campaign bucks, for the politicians' RICO war-chests! RICO, for Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization act. If the “K Street” hoodlums ain't crooks and our representatives ain't cohorts in crime, then Newt Gingrich is an American! We my as well take advantage this “hazard” associated with Congress by the “House's” affiliation with this scumbag buyout favoritism legislation. It is allowed because of the “legislation” the “lawbreaking lawmakers” insist upon their own actions – or inactions! From now on all campaign donations should be taxed, just like we find has been done with tobacco products, for motor gasoline and for alcohol. Just think of the opportunities to generate much needed income, through this taxation that “We the People” find immunity, someone else's dime this time around. And maybe, maybe just for once, this “New” taxation designed to “Reduce Demand” will be something that finds success upon the “demand” aspect. If not, it is estimated that the U.S. Treasury could take in an extra $350-Billion, when the campaign donations are subject to the same degree of taxation as TAG – tobacco, alcohol and gasoline, this income during routine years. And during a Presidential election year? How about an amount that “tilts” the collectors register. Bottom-line, it could be used to lower the existing deficit then some. And when those responsible for the tax, the pursuers and recipients - Congress - when they see the tax bill, maybe some of them will think not once but twice too who they are supposed to represent, without the burden of campaign donation taxation. But then again, the Congress continues to show its bad habit traits that are passed down for generations, especially when nepotism enters to extinguish righteousness, like occurs way too often in Alaska, but maybe “We the People” can benefit financially this one particular bad habit, through “Demand Taxation” upon the Lobby's “Buy Them” program.

America's Report Card #2

The #2 rings a bell of stench, with respect to how America is fairing. Everywhere I turn during these holiday times, there is indeed overwhelming evidence of a near pandemic in the making and well on its way out-of-control, as outreach for helping those in need is reaching way out of bounds. It appears that the Grinch and Scrooge have been successful, as what other fathomable reason promotes panhandling and begging to become a national pastime for many one time prosperous Americans? Street corners are no longer reserved for somebody trying to hock some extra change for a bottle of MD20/20, as family men must resort to this dangerous occupation just to enjoy a warm bath once a week. It is dangerous, as not only is there stiff competition from the back alley Bowery Boys, but the road rage from irate “please don't bother me” drivers can have its toll. See, drivers are in a hurry to get to the market, or liquor store, or get back to that warm home after a day at the office! Wow, what a concept, a job, a shelter, food, booze and a car that runs – the essentials? In Anchorage, with Dan Sullivan's new and approved “SideWalk-er” eviction policy - as Dan is a fan of Scott Walker's insensitive political disenfranchising laws - sitting down while panhandling could bring a fine, maybe jail time. I just don't get it, that “voice” that is not hearing the “voice” - of destitution for those of us on “Desolation Row”. It is loud and clear, so it is selective hearing as to give a little away means less squandered away. In America, It used to be when somebody yelled “Help”, assistance was front and center above and around any hurdles, when “brother can you spare a dime” was something we as Americans could be proud upon and that great tune rang with pride. And other nations respected that fact, even nations that were not on our side, it was something even our enemies found appreciation with. Today, we have lost a whole lot that was gained form our parents' generation, following the world wars and the re-constructive era. It appears they may have put in all that hard work for nothing. Whose fault is it? I began a conversation with a gentlemen up in Fairbanks, at a local wash-a-teria that also provides showers for rent. He had his entire family in tow, to do laundry and also for the hygiene duty. That was this family's Saturday night out! What happened to the good old days when families went out for pizza, or a good burger? Sad, as here was this dedicated dad, a carpenter by trade, a mom and 7-siblings all tucked into a dilapidated cab-over camper as their primary residence, wherein dad goes form day job to no job then back to a day job, just to get enough loot for a meal and a shower once a week and maybe some laundry duty. After searching every pocket several times, many pockets as it was winter here in the interior, he couldn't find enough spare change to give himself a bath, so I handed over some spare change. Count my blessings, I can still afford the American dream - with limitations. It is not like it used too be or how it is supposed too be. Let's face the facts, as the Congress continues to feed their fat faces with caviar and washing it down to their over-bloated guts with Don Perignon, courtesy of the “Lobby Transform”, they are being treated as 1^st Class passengers, so why should they care about reality on the streets of America? They don't, because if that sentiment was false - that they don't care - then we would not have this dilemma facing us today, especially during the holidays. Even the pet stores are accepting donations, for pets needing assistance. The strangulation that Mitch McConnell and the John Boehner society have designed and bombarded us with, from help their wealthy friends, it is treason and they are traitors. If we could set the clock back to 1800 and the Congress acted this way then, we would all be out on the street on Saturday night, for a stoning! I have no other reaction or definition, it is pure “Treason” from turncoats, with the “Lobby Transform” helping to “transform” America into the likes of a nuclear fallout zone – a dead desert wherein the only thing that survives are the “scorpions”. What Congress has done for America the past few sessions is nothing short a nuclear attack! I call it the “Lobby Transform” as it is indeed like one of those toy transformers, all so innocent on the outside, but when provoked, we find a monster in disguise. Lobbyist look like Americans, but they do not act like Americans. It is a sickness that continuous to wreck havoc on civility. The fact that they have no conscious so pay out to buy the conscious of Congress places this nation at risk, as once down that “Lobby Transform” detour dead-end, there is no turning back. Just like if they were in bed with the Mafia, and if they don't perform accordingly, then their families may be targeted. Look, the drug lords provide better living condition south of the border then to what we are finding in some state's cities here in America. While traveling across America on Turkey Day and listening to Alice's Restaurant, I was angry when a roadside turnoff directed me to a squatters camp, and this used to be a motorist's rest area. Not anymore, as America has been chastised and disenfranchised beyond decency, all because of a Congress that is AWOL. From food drives to clothing drives, it appears that America the great has found its enemy, one that has taken it down for the count. And that enemy of the ”People”, we all understand who the culprits are. It is not the “Lobbyist Transform” movement, as there is only a single entity that holds the reigns of blame and that is the Congress. Congress-of-Corruption? Sure appears to be what has caused this dreadful era, one that I am ashamed upon and in reality a real embarrassment. To sum it all up, take this with you the next time you enter that voting booth. Down in the lower-48, some tire salesmen guy has this commercial worth mentioning, as it has meaning. It starts off with doctors conversing about some guy who isn't going to make it, with the camera now showing some bed-ridden “Mummy” lookalike with a zillion tubes protruding from every God given orifice then some, and all these electronic gizmo's monitoring his pulse, which is but a luke warm “blip”. He looks like a vegetable. Then we hear the commercial on the bedside radio, a great tire sale and this guy thought to be dead gets up and runs out the room, with all these tubes dangling behind, the doctors smile and run with him, as this is one hell of a sale. In the case that mirrors association, that dead guy almost is Congress, and that call for a sale that provokes “new life” into the almost dead, “K Street” offering up a Christmas bonus, money for giving away liberty! In ending, what could be more appropriate then to re-visit Dylan's Desolation Row, maybe America's new National anthem:

They're selling postcards of the hanging
They're painting the passports brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner
They've got him in a trance
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless
They need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight
From Desolation Row.

Cinderella, she seems so easy
"It takes one to know one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning
"You belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend
You better leave"
And the only sound that's left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up
On Desolation Row.

Now the moon is almost hidden
The stars are beginning to hide
The fortunetelling lady
Has even taken all her things inside
All except for Cain and Abel
And the hunchback of Notre Dame
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight
On Desolation Row.
Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window
For her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday
She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic
She wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion
Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed upon
Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
Into Desolation Row.

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
With his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago
With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful
As he bummed a cigarette
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
And reciting the alphabet
You would not think to look at him
But he was famous long ago
For playing the electric violin
On Desolation Row.

Race War begins!

Dear Newt Gingrich:

Go on, just get it out of your system, just call him a “Nigger”! Feels good doesn't it! That has been bothering you for some time by now hasn't it, the fact that we have a serious as well as sincere human being trying to make things work according to the Constitution. And you cannot stand the fact, that he is a ”Black Man”. So you stoop low, taking shots when surrounded by your wealthy bigot friends. Stooping oh so low, with subliminal message name calling, your latest, the “Food Stamp President”. So go on, say it again, get your pathetic prejudices front and center, say it loud and clear, “Nigger”. Wow, you are getting applause and a standing ovation, from your pathetic following at that $5000 a plate gathering. They like it! Happy now? You pick on the ghetto, you pick on the ghetto children, you pick on cancer victims, you believe being faithful is just a suggestion, you believe you can have your cake and mine and theirs and eat it to. Wow, maybe the name calling has found an appropriate subject. It is called a Newt! About the only thing a fat slob of your character is fit for, the poster child for American Obesity. Your campaign manager should purchase a full length mirror, have you followed around for just one day, so you can see for yourself a reflection of your pathetic self, and then maybe you will realize that you are a loser, and Real America - or what is left of it - hates your kind! The only thing you ever accomplished in life is destruction upon American liberty. So let the “Race War” begin. Not even the President yet, but the “maybe” candidate for the GOP, yet you feel you have the authority to start this war. I am all for it, but mind you not on your side, as and I am a white man with a conscious!

America's Report Card #1

So what is truly today's bellwether indicator that paints a picture fair and clear upon this nation's health and welfare rating? Just how is today's economic climate allowing or hindering that right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness? Sure there exists reams of data routinely published from the numerous government oversight gurus, like the Congressional Budget Office, what worth is it? As in efforts to understand all that stuff, it means getting a Gingrich PHD or a Congressional lobotomy - no real difference is there! I continue to get sidetracked to this “congressional” aspect, like that body supposedly responsible for righteous representation has something to do with something. See, a lobotomy means “brainless”, and no representative today on the taxpayers' payroll can deny that attribute. Back to the subject. Is there anything more down to earth that can suffice to gage this country's overall well-being? Sure, it is the newspaper front and center this “bellwether” indicator. Or what is left this once upon a time thriving industry as with dwindling support, it is the ad owners that shows who is up and who is down. Since reader subscriptions are way down, due in part the Internet providing news and weather available at one's fingertips, with a simple “Send” keystroke, the ads are paying and paving the way for this once indestructible American icon's survival. So who still reads the paper? Hey, some of us have bad habits! And isn't it still a freebie in 1^st Class? But it is the advertisement income that keeps a paper afloat. So lets take a gander. We find full page ads from the major health care providers, as the Medicare sign-up period is about to expire. In Sundays edition hot off the press, Section A had a total of four full-stretch ads. Now for every signatu obtained from the elderly ranks - over 65 - it means a double dip sensation feature. Money received from Uncle Sam for the administration of this social health care plan allows the providers to recoup every penny spent plus a generous allowance called a “finder's fee”. It comes from “Finder's keepers, loser's weepers” and guess who art thou losers are? See, the provider estimates an hour's worth of sit-down drive by shooting to support their efforts, when in reality it takes about 3-seconds, so simple multiplication finds this a very lucrative train robbery. And those that sign on the dotted line though voice recognition technologies, through “This call may be monitored or recorded to better serve our goals”, they are usually duped into purchasing a plan that is above and beyond any saneness and costly, by the providers using the “fear” tactic. Reminds me of the “Pusher” lyrics:

“God damn, the pusher
God damn, I say the pusher
I said God damn, God damn the pusher man.

You know the dealer, the dealer is a man
With the love grass in his hand
Oh but the pusher is a monster
Good God, he's not a natural man!”

It is a definite co-pay relationship. We pay once, twice and maybe again with that deductible thing. Now wait just a minute, didn't we already pay out for our premiums? Isn't it all part of the IOU contract, that Contract with America? What the hell have I been working for all these years, paying not only income taxes but FICA and yes, money to cover my health care needs come retirement! The more I dig into the present day state of affairs, with respect to this country's economic formula, the more I get angry. It doesn't balance. We are not getting our money's worth. It used to be that auto dealers captured the limelight of advertisement, not today as car sales are way down. It is sad day in America today when we as citizens find more trust with used car salesmen then we do upon our elected representation. Then we have these massive and costly ads for the Internet! In todays read, two full pages dedicated to “Texting” and driving and eating at the same time. I hope when Dr. Mad gets permission to clone, future generations come equipped with an extra arm with hand – for driving dedication! So it is these full-page ads that provides a very good indicator of what factions of the business community are fairing well. Of course there are the scam ads, with those outfits trying to dupe the elderly into selling their gold jewelry at rock bottom prices and what is with this “Reverse Mortgage” scamming? So in todays paper gab, in Section A alone there came 6.5 pages of crap ads, a half page of DUI listings, just from Saturday night, which allows for a single page to shed light on real McCoy news! See, it is well known that it is the aging generation that grew up with the paper in hand along with the morning Joe, so these ads pay off. Why else the large print! So we have before us the health care industry and the telecommunications industry that seem to have a whole lot of disposable income to justify costly colored ads in print. Now Medicare continues to be the greatest rip-off upon the checks & balance criteria inherent in taxation upon your hard earned income. Sure there is supposed to be a watchdog, but Congress believes the money they “play” with is by law their's to play with once it is wrestled away. If that is what the Constitution recommends, it is at fault. Everybody is on the take these days. Bottom-line, it is not only the Bush “wars” extended that have caused this once great nation to look forward to 3^rd world status with respect to economics of scale, as George the “puppet” allowed this country to head down that detour, down that dead-end street. Bush held basically one belief, enact legislation that would allow the wealth to be squandered away. Now Bush didn't really use this position to wreck havoc on his own accord, but due weaknesses in the administration's back door policy and train wrecking imposter's, through controlled carelessness the crooks were allowed to infiltrate and hijack almost every government entity, just to pillage and plunder. “Handout Sam” our government has become. Like this, it has gone down. Place a bunch of kids in a candy store without any supervision and a sleeping store clerk, guess what happens! So no wonder Bush cannot write his own memoirs, as what went on under his watch was someone else's agenda succeeding and Bush was basically asleep at the wheel, asleep at the cash register when the candy store was being robed. And when all the candy was stolen away, Bush was tired, so retired, but the store owner had to replenish what was stolen, or claim bankruptcy - which is not an option unless we decided to sell out. When one looks at the deficit interest payments being swindled away today from the U.S. Treasury, it is a mind-boggling rip-off. Who is getting these extra billions? I am sure the Bush family has something in it for themselves. Look, believe it or not, Bush created more billionaires then could ever be imagined. And it is scary, as other countries own some of this debt, but are not on the mandatory interest benefit plan. Why is it that people don't care or give a rat's ass and continue to rip-off Uncle, or is it the fact that “American Greed” is such a pathetic disease that they believe this is what one deserves when granted “American Citizenship”. Like what you can steal away is OK? So we have before us today a health care provider industry being provided for courtesy the U.S. Taxpayers and at the same time Obama is throwing huge sums of loot to hook-up every nook-n cranny across America. But that may be good, as once we get all this hi-speed infrastructure in place, then we no longer have to send representatives to fend for our sovereignty, we can do it with our hands, with our fingers, as it is ours, not theirs! Remember, Congress was housed in Washington only because the Constitution required a central place to debate, this was before Campbell Soup can phones, before Morse code, before the Pony Express, so today we have the means to change things to “We the People”, not “Me the Senator”. And here is another thing, wherein stupid representation seems to be prominent with the representative branch. The U.S. Postal Service was having money problems, just like everybody else. So they decided to do what's right, and eliminate some of the more costly “pork” addictive routes, remote locations that have been on the welfare bandwagon way too long. But no, no, as this could cause the Alaskan delegation a loss of confidence, which equates to a loss of votes which equates to a loss of a “job for life” and even though sound management it was from the mail carrier, the bad dog was called off, so things remained status quo and at the same time Congress didn't offer any help. So now the money scarcity burdens us all, as it is estimated that because of righteous cuts now protected by insane representatives, it will take an additional day to deliver mail as we all must suffer because of this preferential treatment. So we continue to allow the representation to shoot Uncle Sam in the foot, its called the Webb Initiative – in honor of Jim Webb who likes bringing loaded guns to the “House”. If guns are outlawed, only outlaws and representatives will own guns! It is scary, when we find upon America an all out attempt to “penalize”, as that is not what the Bill of Rights allows. Nor does the Constitution adhere too thievery. So what has happened, when the Congress sees not their evil ways and means so destructive? It gets back to that self-centered “greed”. Maybe like obesity it should be classified a “disease”! Even when Congress tried doing thing right, greed got in the way. Example, cost cutting measures that called upon “Privatization” as the saving grace. That has backfired and does not work. Yet I believe there is a solution. Look, we the middle class faces the burden of taxation, it is ours to contend with. I have no qualms paying my fair share, but that is where we find the trouble spots today. Look, we have mandatory spending and discretionary spending. Believe it or not, the defense budget is defined under “Discretionary” instead of under “Mandatory”. Why? Because the money going to defense contractors is un-Constitutional. Sure it is up to Congress to fund the troops, but nothing else defense related. So the billions spent to fund the Bush wars, it finds forgiveness under these obscure funding initiatives. The only “Mandatory” capture is for Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and that “Deficit Interest”. And the defense doesn't have too worry about a penny, as there exists only a handful that would indeed protest the yearly funding mandate. Why so? It has nothing to do with the troops. Look, the troops work for the Commander-in-Chief and would continue to fight even if their paychecks were lost, in the mail, or delayed due to new restrictions imposed by the Post Master General. A majority of the defense budget finds that dreaded “greed” disease. We have become a ship of fools, as the fools have taken over the ship. The representative body has been muzzled, tied-up and bent over, almost to the point they have presumed the fetal position, the same position one should find when attacked by an angry brown bear. No different, as yes indeed this nation is under attack. Not by Al Qaeda, not by the Muslin Brotherhood, not by Helter Skelter Palinites going after decent American's like Gabrielle Gifford, but under attack by “Greed”. And we are so quick to blame someone else, as that just shines and refreshes the spigot of gold, for more access to the fruits of greed's labor, our heritage crapped upon! Wow, I forgot to call out a very appropriate ad in this morning's paper, just a little blurb, for “Escort Service”! And that is what we really need, “Escort Service”, too escort the crooks away from the U.S. Treasury! And that begins with prohibition upon run a-muck spending spree. Like already mentioned in many of my blogs, it is not the spending itself, but the “greed” factor allowed by Congress that deflates that bang for the buck. Pure unadulterated greed wherein it is so easy to scam. Look the prohibition era was due to lunatics on the loose with a bottle, no different today with the addiction our representatives have upon our incomes - our dwindling incomes. So a prohibition is what we need, and the only way that can be accomplished is through sincere civil disobedience. It is this simple, stop paying that weekly paycheck garnishment called “Income Tax”. Send the Secretary of the Treasury an IOU. When at the end of the year you have not enough to pay for the shenanigans, just tell the bill collectors that you have re-invested in America, your way, by spending that loot on the local economy and didn't hide any of it away for safe keeping, and you'll be surprised at the outcome! As this is truly the way it should be, instead of the way it is.

ALASKA goes to Obama

In early polling, it appears that Obama will enjoy a 2^nd term as President of the United States. It appears this “United” of the states throwing support behind Obama is something to pay attention upon. And it all boils down to the “Stimulus”, as the voters have taken the time too see what this program did for their own pursuit to happiness during such dire strait times. In Alaska, it accounted for approximately $3,000 dollars per capita. In fact, this alone allowed for the state to still issue the residents a yearly PFD check, as that giveaway program was under indefinite suspension had it not been for the “ObamaCares” program coming to the rescue, not to be confused with the “ObamaCare” program. Alaska enjoyed taking in $2.5-Billion, endorsed “For the People” by Governor Sarah Palin! Of that amount $252-million went to road construction, which accounted for over 3,000 jobs per reporting quarter with completion of the projects slated for 2012. So unemployment should remain in check for at least another round of applause. The University of Alaska scientists are behind Obama, as research bucks from the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act totaled $190-million and of course the Alaskan Native vote was strong for Obama, as there came a barrage of funding for native health care projects, like $95-million for a new hospital in Nome. And for the outskirts of Alaska, the remote towns once thought to be Tea-Party domain, with the “Stimulus” program spending to bring high-speed Internet to every nook'n, cranny, well Joe's team has shifted to the “Left”. So it appears that the ARRA program and the jobs creation reality is what has changed many an opinion and the early “Slug Fest” polling indicates an easy victory for Obama. So spare the Cain pain, as last time around it was the McCain pain – with his running mate Palin – and my as well just continue with the GOP hopefuls for late night entertainment. And like mentioned before, many states are “United” with that re-election vote for Obama. California received $35-Billion, endorsed by Governor Arnold, 70,000 jobs created. For those still indecisive and leaning toward the “Right”, if from a “Red” state, consider this: Texas $17-Billion, endorsed “For the People” by Governor Rick Perry, 50,000 jobs created. Utah $2-Billion with 2,500 jobs. Wyoming, $665-Million, 1,700 jobs. Nebraska $1.3-Billion, 4,500 jobs. Arizona $8-Billion, endorsed “For the People” by Governor Janice Brewer. The list goes on, the endorsements go on, so do the jobs created. This plan has worked beyond the wishes of the opponents and is the reason the GOP hopefuls have not a platform to challenge Obama. So look to a landslide victory for Obama, unless there comes a premeditated assassination upon Obama's plan of attack to get this GOP economic mess turned around.
