Get real. A weak recovery doesn’t last 7 years…there is no recovery; perhaps a new “normal” but that would be even worse than a weak recovery. It would be a life support system with no hope breathing independently. Is this what we signed up for? A weak recovery, any recovery, still suggests recovery at some point…Would anyone in his right mind say that America is going back to work? Can anyone quit a good job because there are plenty of options?
Some things have gotten better from the nadir; the worst point; like housing has recovered in most markets, but expectations of rising values aren’t there. Construction of high end homes is fine but that is not an indication of a recovery…when middle class housing is in demand call me…Cities are succumbing to mob rule like dominoes in a wind storm. Murder statistics are rising much faster than employment numbers. Police are the front line of defense against anarchy and federal police are itching to take over to do nothing.
Market up? For all the wrong reasons. Government absorbs market losses and profits are taxed as capital gains for the wealthy investor. It is virtually a free ride; downside protected, upside not penalized like regular income. Do couples having dinner at Denny’s discuss their stock portfolios? Do you remember when they did? If you’re 21 years old you were only 14 when Barack promised total transformation and Oprah cried tears of joy. Your 25 year old uncle was counting on a prosperous career as he worked his way up the ladder in a local business. Today he’s unemployed and your prospects are bleak. I hope you enjoy cutting grass or shoveling snow. Your father may flipping burgers so don’t hold your breath for a minimum wage job that will keep tires on your jalopy and gas in the tank. For the high-risk-tolerant, less-than-wealthy individual the market has been a no-brainer gift…but when the bottom falls out gains will be wiped away like a chalk board in a sprinkler system when a school is torched by unemployed professional rioters…my mistake…they are employed, aren’t they?
Jobs? They report how many were created, which are not enough, but they don’t subtract the jobs lost. We can figure that out for ourselves by comparing the number of people employed month to month, but who bothers? They still don’t include the unemployed no-longer-looking after benefits dries up. Would a job as a professional rioter appeal to some of those guys? Would some of them welcome the opportunity to loot a CVS before it burns to the ground?
Jobs? Why are part time jobs now accepted as bread winner careers? Because there is no recovery and none in sight…
The “rich get richer and the poor get poorer” is a cliché from the depression era…but a candidate might garner a vote or two if he coined the phrase today. Don’t speak to me of recovery, weak or debilitating…speak to me of restoration and we can have a lively exchange…
Savings are still being diminished by low interest rates and if you don’t think there is inflation check your grocery bill…and why are we so tickled that gas prices came down? They never came down to pre election levels and they are going up again anyway…Confiscation takes many forms and the most insidious are already eating away at principal. Social Security is not an entitlement but we have already accepted the government’s illegal grab…It is not going broke, it has assets in the form of non-negotiable government bonds in place of our hard earned cash; thanks to the Congressmen you elected and re elected so he could exempt himself from the woes he votes for. It is broken, not broke…and the difference is not so subtle and purely academic.
Why are banks able to borrow money at zero % from us and lend it back to us a 3%? How does that help the economy? What it does is disincentivise banks from lending money to business men. Businessmen who might hire people to do real jobs can borrow money from the government if they can sign personally and meet tough qualifying standards. Banks will lend money against receivables when conditions are right and profits are squeezed to a pulp.
So what is the government’s role in keeping the economy stagnant? I haven’t heard of a government program that provides opportunity for employment but it takes credit for jobs created in states like Texas and Florida, despite economic malaise in general. Barack’s one great initiative failed because the shovel ready jobs weren’t shovel ready after all. We all got a chuckle out of that. The sucking sound is the sound of money going into a sewer, the true receptacle for government spending.
We the people must be informed and educated according to Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin. That ship sailed but at least we should know when someone else, like our politicians, are not informed or educated or are outright lying to us. No one can provide jobs for the nation…the nation provides jobs for us when the we have a healthy government that doesn’t interfere with self determination. That means we have to fix everything; taxes, punitive regulations, over regulating, government spending, the banking system, equity markets, military purpose, the whole enchilada. That is an impossible task when we are confronted with tyranny on a daily basis especially when almost half the country is in denial or complicit. A government that foments racial division, selective law enforcement, religious persecution and is fixated on disarming the general population, redefining morality, free speech and the order of authority is a tyrannical government. We should not expect a broad recovery while a tyrannical government is holding the economy hostage to its whims and ideological imperatives. We should not let them lull us into a false sense of hope when one segment of a very complex system shows modest improvement or even two. A stopped clock is only right twice a day if we know when to check and it seems we don’t.
Are we so desperate for a silver lining that we ignore the real signs that we are on a top down spiral and gaining momentum? Are we inured to religious persecution and the elevation of a morally bankrupt substitution?
Time to reassess our assets and liabilities. Barack is giving away the store to all comers and exposing a newly weakened underbelly to our traditional enemies and the growing list of new bad guys…Even the Pope has become a left wing political activist, carrying the torch for global warming, global depopulation, global government and global mal de tete. That puff of white smoke may have had a decided tinge of red in it. If I can still be an American in this day of radicalism, I can still be a Catholic while the last Pope recluses in the Vatican and the imposter goes about doing humble good deeds and preaching against self determination…If this keeps up Barack may want ISIS to get Baptized and they may not object!
If there is the slightest doubt that elections will take place without a fight…if the thought crossed your mind even for a millisecond, that perhaps Barack has something up his sleeve, like Marshall Law…that is the true state of the union, confidence oozing from our self inflicted wounds. We are transformed according to plan, transgressed by definition and teetering on the brink of extinction…In 200 hundred years historians will look back on this era as the turning point…the time when illegal aliens chose free stuff over free life and Americans let them vote without ID. Unless we depose the current administration and manage to elect a true patriot who will repair the myriad problems by restoring a functioning constitutional republic… feared and respected internationally as the situation calls for and fiscally responsible while restoring our moral and ethical Judea Christian values, our future looks bleak. Nothing less will suffice.
If Iran gets the bomb future historians can be writing with quills dipped in berry juice…or the blood of patriots fallen in a good cause for no gain.
So here’s what ticks me off. All the BS about Obama’s legacy and a weak recovery with Republicans doing more harm than gasoline-purges to a circus fire-eater, avoid the truth and delay the awakening. A narrative that we are recovering, albeit slowly, is not helping any more than a declaration of victory in the face of abject defeat. This government would tell us we are in a full, robust recovery if they thought they could get away with it. Anything can be fixed but if you think its getting better why bother? We are in a heap of trouble and the answers are within our grasp if we are willing to reject political solutions that solve nothing, change nothing and prolong the agony. When we end the baloney and state the facts we will have no choice but to take the proper actions and we will; pray it is not too late. It is not enough to say we are in a religious war. The Muslim Brotherhood is a political organization waging religious war to gain world domination. They can only succeed after devastation destroys the fabric and morale of a country or a people and I believe Barack is engaged in that process. Our enemy, the radical Islamic Muslim contingent of Islam, rely on his Satanic contribution and uncanny ability to keep us from naming the enemy, in turn keeping us from effectively retaliating.
Restore the Constitutional Republic in the Judea Christian spirit and no problem will be too great us. Stay the course and the road to perdition will swallow us up.
We argue over the degree to which we have been transformed instead of arguing over how to undo the damage done and being done. While we argue it only gets worse, because in an argument one side is in denial.
Barack is the Manchurian candidate on steroids. Remove him, hold him accountable and see to it that he is punished appropriately so that no one ever tries to transform us again…
God has blessed America and we have allowed ourselves to diminish the influence of organized religion in our daily lives. That is a principle requirement of every demonic, dictatorial government. The elevation of Islam to replace our Judea Christian heritage, demanding allegiance to Allah or death, is having its effect on us. They have barely begun their torture, murder and degradation tactics here and we are already intimidated. A patriot stands against them and we condemn her for agitating the bully. Her life is in danger and instead of shielding her we wish her luck.
Choose the next president wisely, not from the fetid pool of politics and dynasties and with God’s help we may be the first Republic to test the outer limits of extinction and rebound to survive another 230 years. I advise you not to pray for salvation unless you are willing to die for it.
God bless Americans.
