This is truly the new version of “Girls Gone Wild!” except this time it is elderly politicians in Washington DC acting like demented children. Biden will not budge on spending cuts with the debt limit soooo close to the point of no return. But Biden may not budge since he has the corporate media spewing hate against Republicans nonstop.
And on top of Biden’s outrageous budget, largely payoffs to progressive groups, Missouri Representative Cori Bush (D-of course) is demanding $14 TRILLION in slave reparations. Or what?? More BLM riots? Even California Governor Gavin “Gruesome” Newsom isn’t stupid enough to approve budgetary disaster like reparations.
But that is where we are in the US. A President who acts like a spoiled 12 year old bully, members of Congress like Cori Bush and AOC who think The Fed can just print trillions MORE and give it to preferred groups. Senator Diane Feinstein (soon to be replaced by a horrible human being in the person of Adam Schiff). John Fetterman, the next Bernie Sanders?? C’mon DC. A true ship of fools. And dangerous ones at that.
So since September 26, 2022, we have seen a fundametal shift in markets. The US Dollar is down -21% since September 26, 2022 while Bitcoin is up 41%, Gold is up 21% and Silver is up 28%.
Biden is sitting pretty, If McCarthy chickens out and agrees to Biden’s outrageous budget, Biden looks like a hero. If Biden defaults, the MSM media will blame McCarthy and Republicans, so Biden wins. No wonder Biden said he isn’t worried about the debt ceiling negotations. He wins no matter what, And we the 99% get screwed.

These guys are becoming the WORST problem this nation has ever had to face.
I wonder if Chris Rock (”black people hate ******”) ever joked that it’s really the latter that owe the former “reparations”?
More illegals get free stuff and here our American citizens get nothing, especially those who served! Please pray for this man.

Causing gold and silver to go up...isn’t that basically how soro’s makes his money?
Where are our (the US Citizen’s) representatives? Oh that’s right! Since they took away the right to vote these scum buckets out of office “we aren’t needed” anymore. Even the Courts don’t give a darn about the rule of law and protecting the rights of the average tax paying American anymore.
Dear God in heaven...
And it takes private organizations to pull in donations to pay for specialized homes for men and women who have bad legs and arms blown off when the US gov’t could easily afford to pay for them.
But no, we gotta have 700+ bases around the world instead, invade Iraq, Libya, troops in Syria, etc, to secure the oil as Trump said.
And Congress WATCHES and does NOTHING.
Cory Bush is a piker compared to AOC, she wants 70-80 trillion for the Green New Deal to deal with climate change
Why not a 100 sextillion?
The "good" thing about this is that it is so outrageous that no sane person could seriously consider it.
(Of course that still leaves all the dems.)
The leftist media can spew all the hate they can.
At this point the Republicans have to put a stop to the ability of Democrats to buy elections.
Can Democrat voters live without welfare for 18 months? No.
Biden can throw in the towel now, or wait until his base has suffered needlessly.
Republicans must hold firm to survive politically. If they don’t, Republicans will be beat by additional millions of voters bribed to vote Democrat come 2024.
Republicans will negotiate now, but once negative media articles appear, it is the original offer or 18 months without.
$14 TRILLION
That’s probably about $400 per pound of cotton produced.
A slave produced about 1,300 pounds of cotton/year (436,631 slaves/535 million pounds of cotton).
https://www.mshistorynow.mdah.ms.gov/issue/cotton-in-a-global-economy-mississippi-1800-1860
There were other costs to producing that cotton besides the slaves: transport, management, doctoring, tools, finance, etc.
There are about 20 descendants for each slave, so the reparations for each slave would have to be split 20 ways.
“The 1800 census recorded over one million African Americans, of which nearly 900,000 were slaves. By 1860, the total number of African Americans increased to 4.4 million, and of that number, 3.95 million were held in bondage.”
https://pressbooks-dev.oer.hawaii.edu/ushistory/chapter/the-economics-of-cotton/
About 10 descendants for each slave, so 60 (or 70) years of part-time labor split six ways.
“In general, planters expected a good “hand,” or slave, to work ten acres of land and pick two hundred pounds of cotton a day.”
“The cotton gin allowed a slave to remove the seeds from fifty pounds of cotton a day, compared to one pound if done by hand.”
So that’s about seven days picking and about 28 days plucking per year. Add in tilling, planting and weeding time.
40 acres goes for about $300k in MO. I am sure in bulk you can get that for $175k.
I am sure the MO government will be happy to give the descendants of slaves 40 acres in rural MO. The savings comes from stopping all of the programs targeted to help minorities.
“six ways”
ten ways
Well….no. That’s not how Soros made his money.
His big windfall came when he traded against the Pound in the 1970s.
Most slaves only saw federal officials once, to collect the $10 import tax or the federal soldiers that liberated them.
Slavery was largely a private matter.
Slavecatchers generally didn’t bother getting federal help to recapture escaped slaves, they snatched themselves.
“His big windfall came when he traded against the Pound in the 1970s.”
It was the early 1990s for that I believe.
Sorry, that is incorrect.
The US Dollar peaked at 114.42 in Sept 2022.
That was a 21 year high.
Yesterday, the USD closed at 103.07
That is a drop of 11.35.
11.35 divided by 114.42 = 10%
