Obama could test lie detector machines to make sure they are working.
He is always on vacation. On our dime no less.
He should get a permanent one in November, I will do my part. Will You?
Yeah, Yeah, if it was funny I’d be laughing.
You know it’s funny, not Ha-ha Funny, but strange funny, I’ve watched and done my share of griping since the Jimmy Carter about how the Federal Government is too powerful and intrusive.
But you know Obama really does take the cake, and the knife and the forks and the plates... He’s shown us that the Presidency of the United States can very Easily become a Stalinist style dictatorship through his executive orders and the hundreds if not thousands of Departments, Bureaus and agencies that have been created since FDR.
And as I look at these I see that the framers of the constitution although wise beyond most other men left a few to many loop-holes in the Constitution. The biggest was and is the COMMERCE clause, it’s been primarily through that one avenue that the federal government has grown completely out of proportion. And the Commerce clause allows them to control the citizenry through manipulation of commerce and everything that it touches which is well...everything a citizen does while interacting with each other and all of the various levels of government.
We need to start looking at the Constitution very carefully and figuring out how to amend it so that these loop-holes are closed. A weak government is a good servant and like fire a strong government is a terrible master.
FIXED IT.
Obviously John doesn't shop at the grocery store.
I observed this past week that the 36 oz jar of Great Value mixed nuts at Wally had shrunk to a 26 oz jar with no decrease in price. That amounts to a 38% increase. Standstill inflation my ass!
Let's take a look at the historical time line of the “Great Depression”.
The first major event was the stock market crash of 1929 when there was “a major correction” to the market. Millions were lost and the biggest losers were the small investors who had invested their life savings trying to break into the upper class.
The final major event happened in 1932 when there was a run on the banks and unemployment went through the roof.
Why this history lesson?
Well, lets take a look at the last 4 years.
Notice any similarities in the time line, sequence of events, and who got hurt the most?
The human animal has advanced exactly zero in the last 70 to 80 years. Our actions and reactions to the financial environmental changes aren't that different from our grandparents/great grandparents. The laws that were enacted to prevent a replay of the “Great Depression of 1932” have been ignored/by passed with much the same results.
My bottom line is the “Great Depression of 2012/2013”’s final act will begin in Europe (like 1932) and quickly spread through out the rest of the world (like 1932) and will take a long time to recover. Hopefully the “Great Depression of 2012/2013” will not recover like the “Great Depression of 1932” with the rise of extreme nationalism and a world wide war.
Having said that, remember we as a society and overall, aren't that different than our grandparents and great grandparents.
