Einstein’s definition of insanity:
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
Welcome to Insanity Rules.org
Please feel free to copy, paste and pass the information along, because without an informed voting public the people who created this insanity have no incentive to fix it; our kids and grandkids have gotten Fleeced / Hosed
A few centuries back there was a medical procedure that involved blowing smoke up people's ass (couldn't make this up; feel free to look it up), guessing the procedure has been revived because of the actions of the two-party system (Asses & Elephants). There is no other logical way to explain the mess that has been allowed to happen.
The Elephants and Asses are Insane; Nov 19, 2024 National Debt ($35.992 trillion) $35,992,291,043,718.85
So far $16.856 trillion ($16,856,340,000,000 through Oct 2024) has been paid out on National Debt interest payments.(Fiscal year 2024 Interest paid; $1,133,036,880,149.16)
This made in Washington D.C. insanity did not happen overnight, but has been building up over the course of decades.
For an overview listing of the contents-index; and a start of solutions to fix some of our problems plus a questionnaire please follow the links.
Because of our insane 2 party system, the Asses and Elephants treat WE THE PEOPLE with utter disdain and contempt; and they wonder why WE THE PEOPLE are ticked off.
Makes one wonder how the Elitists view the opinions of the men (Founding Fathers) that made their good life possible.
Were the founders of this nation and Abraham Lincoln incompetent or was it that they were ill-advised, maybe they were just uneducated, how else do you explain away their thoughts that debt is a bad plan. Could anyone explain to them or would anyone even be stupid enough to try, that spending $16.856 Trillion in interest payments with trillions more still owed on interest was/is a good idea.
President George Washington on National Debt
"As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is, to use it as sparingly as possible…" ($35.992 Trillion National Debt, failed that one)
Long ago Thomas Jefferson wrote
“I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers to be feared. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. If we run into such debt, we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessities and in our comforts, in our labor and in our amusements (in our stocks and in our bonds). If we can prevent the government from wasting the labor of the people, under the pretense of caring for them, they will be happy.”
“The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggravated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed."
Abraham Lincoln
Someone is not telling the truth so who do you believe, People who like cut taxes for Corporation & Hedge Funds Mitch McConnell, Mike Johnson and Donald Trump ( During Trump's first round the National Debt increased $7,804,591,681,202 makes one wonder about round two) or George Washington, Thomas Jefferson & Abraham Lincoln? My choice, Washington, Jefferson & Lincoln.
Some of this stuff gives me a headache, I wish someone could answer a couple questions for me, The US Supreme (Kangaroo) Court has ruled that Corporations are people (I never understood that); here's the rub, if Corporations are people why are Corporations getting special tax breaks, 0-15% instead of the 30+% that real people will be taxed at in the Republican Reformation of the Tax Code especially when we are so far in debt. Either a Corporation is a person or it is not, don't get to have it both ways, that is called chicken-shit (definition further down the page).

Many people will look at this site, rationalize "My life is good, this doesn’t affect me, why should I care? Still have my MTV, BET, ESPN"; impervious to danger, like the Captain of the Titanic steaming full speed toward the iceberg ahead.
I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education.
Thomas Jefferson
A young Mom reminded me when it comes to the signs and website why I still bother/care.
In 1971 when Nixon was President and the National Debt was $398 Billion he took this nation off of the Gold Standard, I was an Army Brat at that time living in Germany, somewhere buried at mom's old house is a silver certificate; that's what paper money was called (Silver & Gold certificates) before the issuance of Federal Reserve Notes. By 1981 while riding around in an Aircraft Carrier interest rates hit 20% and the Debt was $997 Billion.
In the spring of 1992 was working a rotary job for Alaska State Ferries; that was when I started writing letters and articles about The National Debt which had increased to $4 Trillion, in 2004 when the Debt had risen to $7 Trillion the website Scary Reality.com came on line followed by Insanity Rules.org in 2019, by that time our Debt had reached $22 Trillion.
Willing to admit that from time to time have considered rolling up the signs and shutting down the websites but every now and then am reminded as to why I still bother/care.
Was cruising to work May 28, 2021 when this young gal pulls up beside the car and flashes a thumbs up, I waved and told her thanks, we were in traffic didn't think too much about it when her car pulls up beside me again and this time the back window was down and I was looking at two young kids giving a thumbs up also.
"There is some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

To the young mom, thanks
Our elected officials appear to prefer serving the Industrial Military Complex, Industrial Spy Complex, Special Interest Banks, Insurance Companies and Hedge Fund Gamblers instead of We The People. Decide to get involved, it will be your children's debt, call your legislative representatives let them know how you feel about $16.773 trillion squandered so far for interest on our children’s $35.802 trillion CREDIT CARD Debt; your involvement is needed; it is your country! Do not expect them to listen right away, you will have to call them again and again, might want to enlist friends and family; Special Interest groups have been wining and dining some of “our” elected officials’ for decades.
From the Republican Neo-Con blueprint
TYRANNY OF DEBT
An exceedingly burdensome debt has been created ($35.992 trillion). For the payment of interest it becomes necessary to have recourse to new loans, which do not swallow up but only add to the capital debt. And when this credit is exhausted it becomes necessary by new taxes to cover, not the loan, BUT ONLY THE INTEREST ON IT. These taxes are a debit employed to cover a debit.
“Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.”
Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the House of Rothschild.
If the loan bears a charge of 5 per cent, then in twenty years the State vainly pays away in interest a sum equal to the loan borrowed,($36 trillion) in forty years it is paying a double sum,($72 trillion) and all the while the debt remains an unpaid debt.
We, The People of the United States of America have allowed the Asses and the Elephants to borrow more then a Trillions dollars every year (deficit) for some time now, and each year this nation has to BORROW ALL THE Money needed to cover the Interest payments. Mayer Amschel Rothchild did not lie to you "An exceedingly burdensome debt has been created. For the payment of interest it becomes necessary to have recourse to new loans, which do not swallow up but only add to the capital debt"...; when the $16,856,34,000,000 ($16.856 trillion) already squandered for interest is added to the debt still owed this becomes a lot of money. This was a great plan for the banks/lenders but a horrible plan for those having to pay the interest!
There is no nice way to say this, Wall Street does not care about you, Bankers do not care about you, Owners of Hedge Funds do not care about you, The Elitists don't care about you, the majority of the people living in the United States of America have been used/fleeced/hosed/Screwed.
The Bankers, Hedge Funds and Elitist have literally scooped up millions of houses and condominiums most of them got the money at a discount, interest rates the rest of us could only dream about; it is called the Discount Rate which was around .75% from 2008 until 2017 due to a Government bailouts (remember To Big to Fail) which was started during the Bush administration. The acronym was TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) which gave away money to the Bankers and their buddies calling it Quantitative Easing.
There were 3 rounds of Quantitative Easing, QE-1, QE-2 and QE-3; in QE 1&2 the amount of money given by the Federal Reserve Bank which was borrowed from the Treasury Dept was $ 600 Billion both times, QE-3 was $40 Billion per month and it went on for years with the Federal Reserve Bank having borrowed from the Treasury Dept over $ 8 Trillion at an Interest Rate of approximately .25%.
The Little People (the rest of us) do not get those discounts, we pay the Prime Rate, plus whatever the fat cats can get away with, all the way up to what is called Urery, generally reserved for Credit Cards and Loan Sharking of which can be as high as 29%. U.S Government is $35,992,291,000,000 in the hole (U.S. debt); to go back to the Gold Standard which the Republicans abandoned, gold would have to be priced over $135,000 an oz
Fed Rate-Interest that banks charge each other. Discount Rate-Interest the Federal Reserve Bank charges Commercial Banks and other Financial Institutions (Goldman Sachs, Blackstone, Hedge Funds...) when they borrow directly from the Federal Reserve. Prime Rate-Generally 3+ percent above Discount Rate. Those paying prime+ you got hosed in housing and the Stock Market
November 2024: Fed Rate 4.50-4.75%; Discount Rate 4.7%; Prime Rate 7.75%.
"You can fool all the people some of the time, you can fool some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time."
Abraham Lincoln
Many have been played as fools, Wall Street does not invest in America, Wall Street is a Gamblers Paradise, those people do not work, they are con men skimming the cream of the everyday workers blood, sweat and tears. Wall Street does not give a rip about you or your kids. The Bankers, and Gamblers (Wall Street & Hedge Fund operators) only care about money and with so many in the House, Senate and even President candidates begging for campaign money they will not produce change because that would amount to biting the hand that feeds them.
If history repeats itself yet again it will not be pretty:
I SEE ONE-THIRD OF A NATION ILL-HOUSED, ILL-CLAD, ILL-NOURISHED
THE TEST OF OUR PROGRESS IS NOT WHETHER WE ADD MORE
TO THE ABUNDANCE OF THOSE WHO HAVE MUCH
IT IS WHETHER WE PROVIDE ENOUGH FOR THOSE WHO HAVE TO LITTLE
From the Memorial of President Roosevelt
President George Washington in his farewell speech warned the people of the dangers of Potentates’; Political Parties & Debt: it is too bad that the people have disregarded/ignored his sound advice!
Could it be that due to our unwillingness to foresee "Unintended Consequences" that we are now a nation best described as being on "Life Support"
The Law of Unintended Consequences
As in science, medicine, engineering and even finance there are laws and there are theories, one law that crosses all spectrums is the Law of Unintended Consequences: President Clinton could never have foreseen that Monica Lewinsky would not send her blue dress to the cleaners, but instead leave the stain as a keepsake. The married Speaker of the House and prosecutor at President Clinton's impeachment trial, Newt Gingrich was having an affair while airing Ms. Lewinsky’s dirty laundry. After Gingrich, came the Speaker-designate, Representative Bob Livingston, who announced the end of his candidacy for Speaker and his resignation from Congress from the floor of the House after his own marital infidelity came to light.
Most people did not care, nor did they want to know about the sexual escapades of Clinton or Gingrich or Livingston. It was the Republican hypocrisy, which became known because of the Law of Unintended Consequences that really ticked people off.
Back to our credit card problem
It seems that our politicians’ are somewhat confused.
The greed, maneuvering and hypocrisy of to many elected officials is disgusting. Some of us do not suffer from amnesia, we are facing a financial nightmare because the Republicans took this country off the gold standard back in 1971, when Nixon was President, to pay for the War in Vietnam and have been living on borrowed money ever since.
In 2001 instead of using the surplus money the government was taking in to pay down “our” National Debt, President Bush and the Republicans (G.O.P.) decided to run up a Strategic Deficit (Two unfunded wars and a tax cut), in 2018 President Trump gave his buddies the Banksters another tax cut, never taking into consideration the law of unintended consequences, (Strategic deficit to cut programs) this plan was concocted while the Republican President Reagan was in office and now 40 years later the debt is bad enough that implementation by the Republicans can and has commenced.

Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders.”
– The Honorable Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee in the 1930s
Despite being warned, President Woodrow Wilson signed the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. A few years later he wrote: I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men. -Woodrow Wilson

One private equity chief went so far as to publicly thank Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman until February 2014, whose program of extraordinary economic stimulus has helped push stocks higher, feeding the private equity machine.
“Thank you, Ben Bernanke. I saw him last Thursday, and I thanked him,” Mr. Schwarzman of Blackstone said during a conference in December. “The opportunity for us to be able to attract funds is very, very high.”
Stephen A. Schwarzman, the head of the Blackstone Group, took home $452.7 million, ([$8,690,000] $8.69 million per week) also more than double what he made in the previous year.
Invitation Homes: Dallas-based subsidiary of The Blackstone Group has spent $8 billion buying about 43,000 homes nation wide. That's amazing, veterans are homeless and these people only seem to be concerned about fatter returns. The COO of Blackstone Group is now the Chairman of Board at Costco (Is he just another Wall Streeter or is he going to protect the employees as founder Jim Sinegal did when he was CEO of Costco, only time will tell).

An internal Goldman memo suggested that speculation by investors accounted for about a third of the price of a barrel of oil. A commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the federal regulator, subsequently used that estimate to calculate that speculation added about $10 per fill-up for the average American driver. Other experts have put the total, combined cost at $200 billion a year.
Why were the banks allowed to raid the FDIC? Because that is where the money was.
Steven Mnuchin, former President Trump’s Treasury Secretary fits this description by L Michael Tomkins, EdD, of a Psychopath “A psychopath doesn’t have a conscience. If he lies to you so he can steal your money, he won’t feel any moral qualms, though he may pretend to.” MR. Mnuchin was a member of OneWest Bank, this video explains how people lost all they had to a group of psychopathic lovers of money, control and power.

Ehrlichman: "Edgar Kaiser is running his Permanente deal for profit. And the reason that he can—the reason he can do it—I had Edgar Kaiser come in—talk to me about this and I went into it in some depth. All the incentives are toward less medical care, because— the less care they give them, the more money they make."
If the people of the United States of America have been legally mandated by the President, House, Senate and Supreme Court to have to purchase Health Insurance why are a group of "Individuals" allowed to pocket Millions of Dollars in wages off the premiums that WE THE PEOPLE are forced to pay; I thought that was the definition of extortion. The Mafia could only hope; legalized extortion, how could it get any better then that? It just got better: The crime syndicates could not dream up legalized extortion like this - state officials have approved rate increases of 25 to 50 percent or more in 2017.

Seeing how WE THE PEOPLE are forced into paying into this racket how about forcing maximum wages payable to these bums, maybe something in line with 25 times the minimum wage [Minimum wage $15 per hour; Maximum wage $375 per hour, and let’s put a stop to "Stock Options" while we are at it.

Value
The word value has many different meanings and everyone seems to believe their definition is the correct one which leads to confusion, fighting and anarchy because you have your definition and beliefs of value and others have theirs.
1) Wall Street; I am more valuable then you, it is my money and I don't care if you aren't making it, not my problem. Mantra - no taxes
2) The Me, Myself and I crowd : I value my freedom to choose, I can do as I please; Mantra - my choices - my rules.
3) A code or creed, an action for the betterment of the many, instead of the one: Value defined as Sacrifice, Integrity, Morals, Ethics.
The first two definitions are about self, while the third is about community.
There is a colossal difference between Main Street & Wall Street, one is trying to build this Country up and is taking a serious beating, while the other is tearing it apart with little regard as to the damage being done or the lives being wrecked. At this point in the battle between Main Street and Wall Street, Main Street is getting its ass kicked.
Main Street and the Sensible Center have for the most part held to the third definition of value. Wall Street has embraced definitions one & two.
Why did the "Alt Right" come about & why do they refer to the Main Stream press as "Fake News", the answer, not easy nor pretty.
fetter: a chain or shackle; something that confines; restraint
Unfettered, unrestrained capitalism gave us this national debt, exorbitant health care costs, destroyed pensions, sent jobs off-shore, and brought in foreign workers to replace American workers with H1B1 visas.
Unfettered capitalism is just unchecked greed.
People working together for the betterment of all used to be what America was about, it gave us clean drinking water, electricity (rural electrification of U.S. 1920-1930), Interstate freeway system, vitamins A & D in milk, iodine in salt, pensions, a 40 hour work week. If that is considered socialism I'm having a difficult time seeing where that is such a bad plan. Our military is a socialistic organization and before the era of Money, Money, Money (Dave Ramsey’s theme song), Christianity was socialistic in nature.
Throughout history unfettered capitalism has always brought about war. If this is allowed to continue millions will again be sacrificed on the Altar of Capitalistic Greed.

Confessions of a Congressman
If Congress wants to stop the Cynics, Congress needs to stop the Games
A solution for the problem of gerrymandering written about in the article Confessions of a Congressman because gerrymandering and BIG MONEY have brought about so many problems.
To stop Gerrymandering; (the creative drawing of Congressional Districts which everyone with a computer can look up by Googling there district); use districts drawn up using Zip Codes as they are set up now. DO NOT ALLOW Zip Codes to be redrawn but just add or subtract a Zip Code North, South, East or West to get the desired number of people needed in each District.
One has to wonder about The United States Supreme (Kangaroo) Court which legalized Gerrymandering in June of 2019. Gerrymandering is definitely Immoral & Unethical but it is now Legal. Makes one wonder who's asses they are kissing and why.
We have problems because to many refuse to stand for anything
By the time World War II ended the young men, both rich and poor had learned to work together to survive and because of the shared horrors of war continued to work together for the betterment of all.
Unfortunately over the years others who had not witnessed or been involved in the horrors of war decided they were more valuable and manipulated our elected officials to manufacture laws for their own self-interest.
Is it not amazing how many seem to have an inflated value of their self-worth, many making a high dollar salary believe they are worth it (CEO’s, Lawyers, Wall Street Gamblers). We are all replaceable, although some are a little harder to replace than others (Einstein, Tesla).
I have found few to be worth $250,000 a year; I have never met anyone worth $50,000 a month ($600,000 a year). Now if we could just convince the poor kids selling drugs (maybe they like caviar too) that money isn’t everything because when we die and I don’t care who you are, the big house, fancy cars, exotic toys of the lifestyles of the rich and shameless, it all stays.
If you are a decent individual some people will cry at your funeral, and some might even mourn your passing for a time, reflecting on the good times, but, life goes on, the world didn't stop spinning. At work they will find someone to replace you; you’re expendable, you are replaceable.
What is that CEO or Lawyer or Wall Street Gambler really worth when good men and women are injured, maimed or killed standing up for this country? How arrogant can the CEO or Lawyer or Wall Street Gambler be when we as a nation can replace a President such as Lincoln or Kennedy in just a matter of hours?

Those two articles qualify and quantify the definition of chicken-shit. First article only runs 5 paragraphs
Chicken shit refers to behavior that makes life worse than it need be: petty harassment of the weak by the strong; open scrimmage for power and authority and prestige… insistence on the letter rather than the spirit of the law. Chicken shit is so called –- instead of horse- or bull- or elephant shit -- because it is small minded and ignoble and takes the trivial, seriously.
Chicken shit people and organizations’ are easily recognized because of their greedy, self-centered and often-times manipulative actions.
YOUR ACTION NEEDED: Contact your elected representatives in Washington DC and tell them to get over their party differences and get to solutions NOW. Let them know you are pissed that $16.856 trillion has been squandered so far paying interest on the $35.992 trillion National Debt.
Everybody was hoping Somebody else would do it.

Anybody could have done.
We have a Standards Problem and it needs to be fixed.
We as a nation are at a cross-road, unfortunately neither the left nor the right seem to understand how we got here, may I offer an observation; When there are no standards, chaos follows.
There are two major standards that have been disregarded first one is a dual principal, morals & ethics, the standard that was used in the past. During the time of Washington and Jefferson (The Bible, the book of morals & ethics) has been for all intents and purposes tossed out by the crazy right and loony left, it appears that neither group has bothered to read the book.
Because we as a nation no longer have shared standards, a kid is killed over shoes and a cop willingly gives a homeless person a dung sandwich; something is seriously wrong in our country. (There are a large number of decent kids and cops but there are problem kids and problem cops and way too many people with weird standards).
When standards are removed, corner stone's (boundaries') shifted, anything goes. Some laughed, some mocked her as she died - Teenagers Recorded Man Drowning and Laughed. We will reap what we have sown if this is not corrected, we will reap the whirlwind.
This can actually be fixed, Proverbs is as applicable today as it was 3000 years ago when first written (the rest of the book is also applicable), there are a number of good preachers out there that will call bullshit what it is but opening and reading the book yourself helps to ensure preachers are and keep telling the truth. Education is the key; that is what Martin Luther and Gutenberg with his invention of the press gave to We The People, the ability to read the truth. It was an incredible gift at the time and still is because the Religious Authorities were lying there asses off as to what was printed in the Book to control the masses.
Second one concerns finances, and will be more difficult to repair, with the removal of the gold standard money could be printed without concern as long as the debt was paid back, it wasn't paid back, $35.992 Trillion later we now have a mess.
Thomas Jefferson stated that education is the key, he did not say that it would be pain free or easy but/and your involvement not only matters, it is needed
