Obama’s big sellout

[Arraya]

Heck, the world gave a peace prize to the man responsible for starting a war and dropping the most bombs and killing the most people. It does not get weirder than that.

War is peace
Debt is wealth

sane is crazy…haha

On a lighter note. Check out the movie Collapse. It happens to be about a man that has shares a lot of my views. Or to put anther way, he put a lot of things together that I have concluded independently.

Roger Ebert gave it four stars.

If this man is correct, then you may be reading the most important story in today’s paper.

I have no way of assuring you that the bleak version of the future outlined by Michael Ruppert in Chris Smith’s “Collapse” is accurate. I can only tell you I have a pretty good built-in B.S. detector, and its needle never bounced off zero while I watched this film. There is controversy over Ruppert, and he has many critics. But one simple fact at the center of his argument is obviously true, and it terrifies me.

“I don’t know when I’ve seen a thriller more frightening. I couldn’t tear my eyes from the screen. “Collapse” is even entertaining, in a macabre sense. I think you owe it to yourself to see it

It’s playing at the Ken tonight. I believe it is also available on pay per view. I’m going to watch it in DC tonight.

What surprises me are

1) People expected that he or any prez from either party was really going to make “change” for the better

and

2) People that still think a lopsided government in which one party controls the executive,legislative branch (and by default controls the judicial), will actually be good for the country.

If folks haven’t learned by now, it’s that

a) politicians are terrible at making financial decisions

b) politicians are always are masters to their self-interest groups…

c) The only prayer we have is that if politicians can’t agree on how to waste money, so effectively nothing gets done (except for the very important things such as declaring war, or responding to a natural disaster)….Don’t even bother asking your politician(s) to “save” money. HA HA…If someone had the power to effective billions of dollars belonging to other people it’s easy to spend money when it’s not yours.

Just vote to balance government, even if that means crossing party lines

I have seen this movie before. American voters experiment with one party controlling everything, then correct themselves within 2 years. For this reason I do expect the Repubs to gain some seats back in 2010.

What’s new? Money is power. It does no one any good to be righteous and poor.

We need financial engineering to accelerate the creation of wealth and consumption of material goods. For that, we depend on the bankers.

As a society, we find it more and more difficult to make hard choices. It would be like asking families (or requiring them through government policy) to take on smaller mortgages and save for the next generation. Will that happen? No, because we want everything now!!

All the president can do is to guide us towards a more sustainable economic model and compassionate society.

All in all, Obama is much more preferable to the Republican alternative. Obama is now taking the pragmatic approach to revive economic growth (his first priority) without which his social agenda will go nowhere.

*

Arraya, the changes that you want would amount to a mini revolution which will upset our way of life. Such drastic change in political/economy direction would retard or reverse economic growth which would create untold human suffering.

It may be a sacrifice that our country would benefit from in the future, but that is a huge unknown.

I would rather take the well-worn path rather than try to clear a new path in the forest.
