The bubble did burst here, but I continue to be amazed at the amount of building of $500,000 homes going on in Loudoun County. We know most of the country is hurting, and I hate the idea that the federal tax dollars of the whole country are being concentrated here. The Democrat motto seems to be “Come to DC to get yours.” It reminds me that Ted Kennedy’s spending was one of the few things to prop up Massachusetts over the past decades.

I was recently at a briefing at the HQ of a government agency. The briefer said that 87,000 people had applied for entry level jobs with the Agency.

And we are all very proud of you for doing so. Killing hostile and violent Foreigners is a Constitutional duty of the Federal Government.
Too bad the Obama administration sucks at it.

“Amerika’s nomenklatura”

http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=528809

For those who remember the old Soviet Union, it was a grim place — at least for average citizens. But not so for those in government. Contrary to the official ideals of equality and a classless society that the ruling communist regime espoused, the USSR created a privileged class of party members inside government — the nomenklatura.

This semipermanent bureaucracy earned higher incomes, got better health care, ate better food and had greater job security than average Russians, the much-despised proletarians. Today, our bloated government seems, in significant ways, to be creating this same dynamic.

All us private sector folks can sell our foreclosure homes and move into an apartment so the public sector can get a raise, ,retire at 55 with 80% of their highest salary, and move into our old homes. They'll have their new Gubmint Motors cars and everyone not working for the gubmint will be riding public transit.

Pres. Washington warned us in his farewell address that the “spirit of party” would lead to a Permanent Ruling Aristocracy made up of party hacks and politically connected Washington insiders. He said allowing the “spirit of party” to dominate our elections would destroy our republic. His long range vision was exceptional.

Democracy should mean all elections are non-partisan.
