Politicians aren't car mechanics at the end of the day the car isn't fixed, we have countless committee on all sorts of problems but what are the resolves, didn't anyone in government see this coming and no one is accountable for the problems, we catch a few crooks and lock them up occasionally but the people who we hire to protect us that fail to see things coming or look the other way or are on the take one way or another still have their jobs, imagine if one of us so much as bounced a check can you imagine the rath. <BR/>Bankers produce products such as credit cards that suck us in at sometimes a very early age,they don't even really ask about your job and if they do they don't really check so we have learned that we really don't need the money now, what happened to being solvent, High interest rates no control on the industry loan sharks have better rates.<BR/>But when the rubber meets the road no one forced us to sign up for the card, buy the car on time, or buy the house we couldn't afford.<BR/>We need to smarten up as people go back to the day when Cash was King and owing money was a bad thing.<BR/>Please tell me how borrowing more money will get us out of debt, why does this government believe they can create jobs when all the create are entitlement programs, stop taxing us and People will create Jobs, stop spending our money on what you believe will work, this Country is not as free as we think we fight for our rights we pay with our blood and as soon as someones has the balls to take a step forward to create his or her wealth to start a business this government through a endless maze of taxes steps on dreams makes it impossible to create dreams, these business small or large create jobs real jobs through seeing people step up to realize the dream others follow suit and start to create their own, where did we lose sight of this.<BR/>Anyway I have paid up my card and canceled them, I have paid off the cars and will drive them a lot longer and I have a small house that I can afford with a 6% mortgage that is fixed and fits into the budget and I'm not shopping around cause I'm not greedy and don't really like too much change in my life I have tried to teach my children about the mistakes of my past so they might go forward a bit easier, but soon if we don't wake up we will know what its like to live in country that was torn down through greed and wants not so much need.<BR/>thanks for the time<BR/>Richmusicman64https://www.blogger.com/profile/11611924111110938636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-86039739290135341352009-03-05T18:07:00.000-08:002009-03-05T18:07:00.000-08:00I understand your apprehension.

Looking at the size of the debt yet to default, and all the insurance policies on that debt that will come due as a result, it makes me want to corner the market on anti-depressants.<BR/><BR/>I tried to deal with the “If it really does get really bad, what are we going to do” question in my Jan 5 post, titled “Plan C”. http://contention.ca/January_2009.htm<BR/><BR/>In it, I postulated that we (the people) would have three choices: acquiescence, revolt or “go small”. I supported (still do) “go small” because they are aware of the potential for an Icelandic revolt, irrespective of whether or not you got your context right, and are too prepared, it is like they are waiting for it.<BR/><BR/>Have a look and let me know your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>And go small.Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695749638659582848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-64470402075146814462009-03-03T12:47:00.000-08:002009-03-03T12:47:00.000-08:00You stated that "the US military believes that the...You stated that "the US military believes that the chance of a breakdown in the system is real" and you cited a report from the U.S. Army War College as evidence. Unfortunately, you have taken the quotes from that paper completely out of context. The paper is not at all about the military believing such a civilian/political/economic breakdown will happen. That paper discusses theoretical happenings in the world that might take the military by surprise. The author of the paper, Nathan Freier, calls such events 'strategic shocks' and listed a domestic breakdown inside the US as an example. But he wasn't predicting it and the statements by no means reflect conclusions by the military. It was strictly a theoretical 'what if?' scenario (along with<BR/>others) to challenge military leaders to think outside the box. The whole paper is about unexpected shocks that might take the military by surprise and result in less than effectual defensive responses. If that paper is your only resource, then you are factually incorrect in stating that "the U.S. military believes that the chance of a breakdown in the system is real." Such sensationalism and twisting of facts is irresponsible in such troubling times.geraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13753779940704519367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-54648628829355831472009-03-03T03:05:00.000-08:002009-03-03T03:05:00.000-08:00Interesting post and I admire your energy in compi...Interesting post and I admire your energy in compiling all the links. However, I'm afraid I find it a bit difficult to take you more seriously when some of your links are from WorldNetDaily and Prison Planet. Though they represent opposite poles of the political spectrum, they both traffic in fear and conspiracy and both have a history of playing loose with the truth.<BR/><BR/>This does not necessarily undermine the point you are trying to make, which is a valid one, but I'm sure you can do better and find some more reputable sources for some of your claims.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for an intriguing post.dah_sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02600893678085625549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-45035093230364470602009-03-02T15:42:00.000-08:002009-03-02T15:42:00.000-08:00You make the same excellent points that Michael C....You make the same excellent points that Michael C.
