Your kids are Inheriting this mess, They have been hosed. Why?
The Unites States of America
Has the Most Corrupt Government Money Can Buy
The Head Roo (Chief Injustice Roberts) at the United States Supreme Kangaroo Court is upset because he isn't receiving the respect he believes he deserves, maybe it has something to do with Justice in this Nation being a Joke. The epitome of evil is "Legal" without morals and ethics.
Because of many Supreme Kangaroo's Court rulings, it is difficult to embrace Chief Kangaroo Robert's whining. Corporations' are not people, Corporations are a greedy part of Wall Street. PACs (Political Action Committees) funnel hundreds of Millions of $$$$$s if not Billions of $$$$$s to some of the most purchasable individuals money can buy, whom, as a token of their appreciation, wrote up amazing Special Interest Legislation. Morals and Ethics, while not totally extinct in Washington D.C. do appear to be difficult to locate. Money Rules all others Drool.
The largest contributors of corruption, besides our Morally and Ethically challenged members of the House and Senate, are the members of the Supreme Kangaroo Court which has legalized the moral and ethical deficiencies of the bought and paid for members of the House and Senate
Why are PAC $$$$$ in Campaigns tolerated, Political Action Committees have bought off hundreds of politicians and most of the Supreme Kangaroo Court; as gratuity for services rendered: "Congress passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which had been inserted into an 11,000-page spending bill at the last minute, (President Clinton; year 2000) with almost no debate on the floor of the Senate. Banks are now free to trade default swaps with impunity".
The Gambling Class ("Investors") who own hundreds of thousands if not millions of houses, speculate on houses, water, oil and all sorts of other commodities does not want to pay taxes on their "Investments" has bought off at least two Supreme Kangaroo Court Injustices, Alito and Thomas with "Gifts". Injustice Rules; chalk up another one for the Supreme Kangaroo Court. Was just wondering if anyone knew whether or not Supreme Kangaroo Court Injustice Clarence Thomas paid taxes on all (or even any) of his "gifts" from Billionaire Harlan Crow or if Injustice Alito paid taxes on any of his "Gifts" from his special friends either.
From Abraham Lincoln: "The money power (Hedge Funds / Wall Street / PAC's & Corporations) preys upon the nation in time of peace and conspires against it in time of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the 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 on the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggravated in a few hand and the republic is destroyed."
Pledge of Allegiance 1992
I pledge allegiance to the flag of a nation that is
bankrupt and dying.
Not just financially in this sea of red ink but morally as well.
And to the republic for which it once stood.
Has our sovereignty been signed away?
(Treaties Supersede our Constitution)
Which has forsaken God.
Injustice, greed, lies, debauchery.
Is divisible with special interest groups.
Over 30,000,000 laws.
How many are pay-offs to special interest groups?
And miscarriages of justice for all.
Unfortunately when laws are not enforced equally on all people
justice becomes a joke.

The Great American Bubble Machine
Goldman Sachs has churned out many politicians and presidential advisers, including Mr. Trump’s Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin, and his first National Economic Council director, Gary D. Cohn. The road from Goldman to Washington is so heavily traveled that the firm is sometimes nicknamed “Government Sachs.” - Kate Kelly
Sadly many people in the United States appear to be like the character Nick, in closing scenes in the 1978 movie Deer Hunter played by Christopher Walken; Stoned/Catatonic zombies. Wake up before the live round makes it to the chamber because betting on this round of Russian Roulette has already been placed. Your children's and their children's future is the bet. Wake up, before it's too late. Sticking ones head in the sand, will result in hitting the live round. Wall Street is playing a game that must be stopped.
Many in the Legal Profession are a bane to Society Morally Bankrupt but Disgustingly Legal
When Legal supersedes Morals and Ethics all types of nasty chicken shit things happen. Shakespeare, Washington, Lincoln, Tolkien, CS Lewis and others have written eloquently of what happens when Justice becomes a joke plus the cost required in time, money and blood to reinstate sanity. The Bible, though parts of it are over three thousand years old, is also full of stories where Morals and Ethics were tossed and the death and destruction that followed.
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act"
George Orwell
We have a serious problem and even as wealthy as this Nation is, this is getting expensive. We have $35,992,291,000,000 National Debt; interest payments for Fiscal year ending Sept 30, 2024 was $1.130 Trillion ($129 Million per Hour).
This financial crises is brought to you courtesy of our wonderful two party system; Elephants and Asses. The Elephants implemented a policy in the 1980's called "Starve the Beast"; the thought was, the easiest way to get rid of government programs was to create and expand the debt, make it so large that Government programs could be eliminated. This trap was set by the Elephants and the Asses walked right into it.
If you thought interest rate increases hurt when buying a house, this Nation will pay/waste over $1.13 Trillion this year (2024); $3.096 Billion each day so far because Interest Rates have more than doubled recently.
The following article was originally written in the 1990's The Parties (both the Democrats and the Republicans) have sold their souls and all it has cost is this country's financial well-being, your retirement, our kids' future and our kids' inheritance.
The Destruction of the Middle Class
Not learning from but repeating history is Insane yet we have allowed it to happen time and time again with the same catastrophic results; George Washington's farewell speech in 1798 addressed Political Parties and the damage they would inflict on this Nation because of Potentates, Despotism and the dangers of unchecked Debt.
An attempt at solutions to fix some of our problems?
This next article, which will require about 15 minutes of your time explains in plain, simple, unembellished English the history of how we got into this financial mess.
“As a result of the war, corporations have now been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow... until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed.” -Abraham Lincoln
Morals and ethics are nowhere to be found

Strategic deficit to cut programs
Taken for a Ride Again (4 1/2 min video)
Loophole manufactured, loophole exploited.
There are a large number of people who do not understand the correlation between debt and deficit, the definitions for those words have been included.
DEBT: how deep the hole is: the total amount of money that has been borrowed.
DEFICIT: how fast the hole is being dug: how much more the government has spent (like a credit card) during the year then the government has received.
Look at the national debt as if it were an ARM, (Adjustable Mortgage Rate) and we the people as the homeowner. When the Federal Reserve Bank raises the rates in the future our financial problems; because we are the homeowner with the ARM will become catastrophic because the interest paid on the debt will increase dramatically.
The National Debt (our collective credit card) is now $35.802 Trillion and has been left to the kids and grandkids because the bills didn't get paid.
I'm just kind of tired of the lies, misinformation and all around BS.
Did you know that from 1936 to 1981 the tax rate on the wealthy never dropped below 70% reaching a all time high of 94% in 1944 and 1945?
Any idea why?
Never get involved in war (WWII and the Korean War) if it can't be paid for. They did not leave the cost of war to be paid by their children and grandchildren.
After the death of President Kennedy the tax rates dropped to 77% and continued in the 70% to 77% range throughout the War in Vietnam and up until the start of the Reagan years where the Income Tax rates on the Wealthy dropped to 50% eventually reaching a low of 28% while the National Debt Increased over 180% during The Reagan Years. The first (1 year) Trillion Dollar deficit was in 2008 During the Bush Presidency, the first (1 year) $4 Trillion deficit happened during the Trump Presidency in 2020.
The common denominator for the Reagan, Bush and Trump Presidency spike in deficits and subsequence rise in the National Debt (National Credit Card usage) was Tax Cuts for the super wealthy by each of these individuals instead of paying the bills.
The National Debt (now $35.802 Trillion) has been left to the kids and grandkids simply because the bills didn't get paid.
For too many years now George Washington's farewell speech dealing with Potentates; Political Parties & Despotism; Knowledge, Virtue, Religion & Morality; Debt; and Outside (foreign) Influence; has been ignored, as has the admonition that Christ gave us to treat others as we wish to be treated.
As stated earlier, please copy, paste and pass the information along because without your involvement the people who created this insanity have no incentive to fix it and Your Kids will get stuck cleaning up this mess.

If one were to look at the rhetoric, Putin in 2007 told the world that Russia wanted the Ukraine back in the fold and he started with the Crimea Peninsula (Sevastopol in Crimea was at one time a Russian warm water port). Then again in 2011 he informed the world that if NATO expanded he would use Ukraine as a buffer.
The reason for pointing this out as has been done is because Putin has talked about using Nuclear Weapons and the Talking Heads have said that he, Putin was planning on using them in Ukraine.
Why would he do that?
The Ukraine is in his backyard.
It makes more sense to go after the Nation responsible for the 250,000+ dead Russian service personal who are using Ukraine as a place to fight another proxy war now (2022-2023), the same country that fought a proxy war against the USSR in Afghanistan in the 1980's (Charlie Wilson's war 1979-1989, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts). The same country involved in the Iran-Iraq war 1980-1988 (we sided with Iraq), until we sided against Iraq (first Gulf war 1990-1991 and second Gulf war 2001-2014) and the same country involved in an earlier proxy war in Vietnam against the Soviet Union and China (1961-1975).
The reason for calling them Proxy Wars is because the killing is in someone else's backyard; Vietnam to Washington D.C 8,997 miles Baghdad to Washington D.C. 6,208 miles and Kabul to Washington D.C. 6,917 miles. The United States supplies guns, ammo, technical advice and troops but most of the dead are locals who can't flee their country but own the killing fields.
Do you have any idea how many people throughout the world go to bed cold & hungry because of the greed of Wall Street and actions of the United States? Do you Care?
