So this afternoon I'm going to the tag office to renew my vehicle tags, and I have Rush on the radio. I must have been touched by God or something, because just as I turned it on he started with a long monologue on how everything we've had for the last 20 years has been fake.
Cars, houses, flatscreen TVs, unlimited medical care for the poor, Medicare, etc, you name it - all fake.
Oh sure, the car, the TV and the doctor are real - you can touch them. But we never paid for them. We borrowed more and more money.
In short, Rush woke up to the reality of this:
Yes, he put a nasty partisan spin on it but you have to give the devil his due - he finally awoke from his long slumber. For the last several years I've wanted to smash the radio whenever he has gone on his "Republicans good, Democrats bad" mantra when it comes to deficits, taxes and spending.
Well, not today. Oh sure, today he had to say "Obama has been worse", but that's to be expected.
But he acknowledged - for the first time I've heard on his broadcasts - that what we've been doing, and are still continuing to do, not only hasn't worked but can't.
The people are waking up. Oh, it's slow, but they're doing it. And the small number who are awake and really, really *****ed off are going to turn into a very large number of extremely *****ed-off Americans in short order.
With good cause.
We've been sold a bill of goods in America...

Glad to see that there was at least two of us that read the whole article.
My daughter has been in Germany and England for study abroad for 5 weeks. Things are way expensive for her because the dollar is so weak. Germany-1.4 dollars per euro, England-1.8 dollars per pound. I believe that is correct but I may be off a little. She toured a very exclusive department store in Berlin. They told her Americans used to frequent the store but not anymore, mostly Russians and Arab Emerates. Sad. We have to change or things will get worse.
I wonder what Worldo’s, we’re beyond Amero’s, will look like?

I’m starting to think that it might be worth the gamble to just max out the credit cards, buying everything I think I’ll want or need for the next 10 years. then when the massive Obama inflation hits, I can pay them off with a wheelbarrow full of useless money.
I think he plans to destroy the banks when he gets close to the end of the Cloward-Piven strategy. So far, he’s kept them happy and supporting him by throwing money at them, but in the end the Marxist will get them. Making them accept someone’s lunch money in exchange for $20k in debt will certainly hurt them and hasten our descent into the communist hell they have planned for us.

Yes we have borrowed a lot of money, but the lenders were willing to lend it. Why did they? Don’t ignore the lenders when analyzing what has led us to today.
Thanks for the great chart.
Nationalization of American businesses that don’t play ball. GE is playing ball. Can see it coming from a mile out.
Karl Denninger
It's Alinsky/Cloward-Piven, period.
Overwhelm the system, then say "See! See! Capitalism doesn't work!"
Then impose martial law and suspend any further national elections.
And then have FEMA round people up into those camps they've got.
It really is no more complicated than that, but they can't implement it until they have an excuse to round up our guns, first.
That's what Gunrunner/Gunwalker was about.
I did a search on graphs and they all look like that.
Karl Denninger voted for Obama cause he thought he’d bring the change.
I have this little quote from Karl saved to post every time someone links his ticker posts on here ....
“For the first time in my adult life, tomorrow I will cast a vote for a Democrat - Barack Obama - and I strongly urge others to do so as well.”

his apologists will say it was just a mistake he voted for Obama ...I’ll say he is just another damn idiot
Was this photo just before or just after his hemorrhoid surgery?
Dead right.
And we are there.
