You really still support the GOP?
Bring back American manufacturing is so right on. I needed a new metal teapot...went to multiple stores, every store had “Made in China” stamped on the underside, even my favorite hardware store. They even had some with non stick interiors, and the warning “f this pot is forgotten on the stove and allowed to dry in, discard teapot”. Then I moved some wooden furniture pieces, admittedly not high end but decorator pieces, and on the underside, could not believe my eyes, “made in China”. Try finding any everyday product that is not made abroad...it’s a challenge.
I’ve begun adding “Period!” to each and every sentence spoken by pResident Obama and to all elected Federal officials. That way I reinforce that they are ALWAYS LYING!
It is the same thing as giving yourself a blood transfusion with your own blood. Sooner or later in the process you run out of blood.
This gathering of quotes is powerfully persuavsive that something needs to change, and quickly.
Trying, trying, trying to be positive about what can I do to help my beloved country.
Well, a Ronald Reagan quote comes to mind: “Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.”
Yeah! About the same as the sun rising in the west. As long as this concept of Federal Revenue Sharing , Federal Grants, ect.,exist it will never happen.
We, as a Nation, are becoming more dependent on big government. Not less. We , as a people are becoming more dependent on Big Government. Not less. Personal freedom and individual responsibility is becoming less and less esteemed each day. the slave mentality among individuals is increasing each day.
Buy Yuan.
Buy Bitcoin.
Buy food and ammo.
Sleep soundly.
When they decide the crash is imminent and unavoidable, they will let a Republican win the Pres election, and time the crash for shortly after he takes office. They will then blame him for the Depression, Democrat rampant socialists will sweep into office the next election, and they will maintain control for decades afterward.
The scenario I describe above is what happened when Herbert Hoover took office in 1929.

I'm sorry to opine a simple truth - the above statement is false. The GOP is a dying whale, beached on the shores of Socialism. By abandoning the waters of conservatism, the GOP is merely Democratic light, and why would anyone vote for the party that is second best and handing out goodies to the LIV?
The message, provided by the ubiquitous MSM, that is resonating among the masses is that the Elephant wants you to work for your livelihood, and the Donkey wants you to party for your livelihood. In a traditionally moral society, such a choice would be risible. But that society is all but vanquished.
None of that is going to happen.
I see dead people.
And Rasmussen says 47% approve of Obama’s performance.
I understand that 12% of the population is going to strongly approve of what Obama is doing. Who are these other people who think he’s doing a good job?
Either we start screaming at the castle moat brandishing pitchforks and torches on reinstating the Glass-Steagal Act or we watch this constitutional republic get its ass flushed down the great stinking sewer pipe of history. It’s a simple Darwin equation- survival of the fittest, only in this case, “fittest” means smartest. How did conservatives get so stupid? Our stupidity is killing us. We are to blame, not Obama, not the 60’s hippies, not the Comintern...US.
And the kicker is that, in the present era, ALL the correct strategies, tactics, actions, interpretive frameworks, all of it, is a mouse click away. We are suffocating due to intellectual laziness, period.

Good ideas, good methodology, Thommas.
Interesting summary. Nothing like “in-your-face” commentary. But the masses (and our leaders) are stupid.
US Bond rates are collapsing, despite manipulations such as ‘jobs data’ (to say nothing of GDP). Bond sales are consistently netting less than 50% of that tendered for sale. Stating the obvious here: Bond sales fund deficit-spending.
Once interest rates start ticking up (despite Fed market manipulations), the Budget goes to hell-in-a-handbasket, as Interest on US Debt will consume the Federal Budget.
I can’t believe they’ve been able to continue this game for so long.
It really is quite a simple question: Take the pain now, or take greater & longer pain later?
Remember that at mid-terms: I motion to “vote non-incumbent” across the board (same mantra I’ve had since pre-2008).
Oh, and by the way: Didja hear the Housing Market is ‘Recovering’? You know, that Home Prices are “Rebounding”?
Ya know...that ‘bubble’ we had before?
Refilling, it is.
Taxes and regulations have ended manufacturing in this country and unions didn’t help.
