Is the Glenn Beck program turning the corner?

 We are Americans and ours is best. Mr. Beck if you can please look at the preceding statement and see how we can fit it into today’s program. Education is definitively important; the thing that wasn’t mentioned is that for every engineer we need a bunch of technicians and for each technician a whole lot of workers. Not all of us need to be engineers but all of us need the access to the knowledge. The conversation about China was one sided, it was from a point of view of a profiteer and a speculator. “Who cares what color is the cat longest it catches mice,” very profound, “Massachusetts is more communist then China” If you are still wandering who sold out our America, don’t, you had them on the program today. There are six factor in the economic growth you mentioned only five; your guest alluded to the sixth, all but admitted to it, buying political power. I apologize for my cynicism but did anybody talk to the marginalized and disenfranchised Chinese worker before your genius friends come on to your program? You Glenn have mentioned central planning, do you know at what point does central planning starts for the individual? If you like to know that please replay. We are talking about person, individuals, not the collective, are we?               

112 Congress

This new millennium is the beginning of The Dark Ages in western politics. We are desperately trying to stop and prevent the corruption of our financial markets. This unrelenting attempt of the greedy upper class and the politicians to feel safe and to stay in control of the money flow translates into We the People the middle class to lose our freedom. Little by little our playground is shrinking. From being talked out of a greasy cheeseburger, for fear of heart disease to having to give up the water bottle at the airport. There are wars and conflicts over natural resources around the world. The security is tight everywhere, there seems to be more government and municipal employees then there are private sector workers. Our America use to be called, the bread basket of the world, we have build the industry of the world, what happened? Who is it to be blamed?

The way that tobacco has build the early industry and later jeopardized our health, the same way the Wall Street has helped the growth of the economy and now is ruining the financial sector. It is so obvious and yet nobody is talking about the Wall Street in any specific terms. Who are the bee keepers, if there is a middle class there must be a lower and upper class to? The thing is that the talking points are given by the leaders and that by default is the upper class. There is much hope for the new Congress, talking heads in the popular media said so. The one thing that nobody is talking about is the last harvest. The one that happened at the end of the last administration, does anybody remember, what happened to the stock market? Instead, with the new Congress there is talk about planting seeds, about hard work and sacrifice, don’t kid yourselves my honey bees there will be a harvest again. Just as soon that there is some equity in our homes and some growth in our portfolios. The thing that we need to know is that “We the People” will be the ones that are being harvested again and again so please stash some honey, don’t let the bears find it. Remember that we have two basic freedoms, to produce and to consume, try not to consume everything. The Wall Street and the investment bankers are the bee keepers, it has very little to do with the administration being democrat or republican, drones are in charge of the bee hive. Don’t worry we’ll get some sugar water to get us through the winter, hopefully the spring will be early this year.                     

Lost freedom

With the New Year comes a new congress with new promises. Forget about the old. The new medical insurance coverage cards started arriving to. There is a magnetic strip on the back of it; every time we go to a clinic it will be swiped. The congress could try to repel the medical insurance mandate, they might even succeed but the privacy and freedom are gone for good. Our medical history and our diets are no longer a private matter. Most of us already have discount and preferred shopper card for every grocery store and pharmacy that we frequent. The new food safety regulation is welcomed by the unsuspecting. The preventive treatment is a requirement it will not be repelled. Doctors are enrolled into the health maintenance ideology, encouraged by the pharmaceutical companies and supported by FDA. Maintenance medications are being widely prescribed, in some cases mandated. How long will it take before the good doctor or the health insurance agent request to check on your diet? How many freedoms have we lost this far?  

Freedom Works, 12.29.10

There are a lot of smart people mentioned, but the article is not going far enough. The point of view that the article discusses is giving. Somebody have something to give, so far governments gave food and money to the marginalized and disenfranchised populations. Why are so many people disenfranchised? Giving somebody a job is still giving. Giving a job a subsidy, food stamps, welfare is a temporary solution.

Tomorrow we no longer need you, we found somebody chipper and hungrier so we say “let’s extend the unemployment benefits little longer.” The government will take care of you.

Many smart and good meaning people tried to resolve the issue of poverty, but it is still only from a point o view of a politician and a philosopher. This prominent journalist said “if the politicians would resolve the issue of poverty they would have nothing to campaign on” it is a cynical but it begs the question, why are some people poor and others not? Is it maybe because the regulations are preventing most people from “helping themselves” and giving them money gets the politicians of the hook with the corporate sponsors? You think that politicians can go to the big corporate sponsor and say that the job that is created is not disposable at somebody’s will? That the good of the community is of the outmost importance and the privileges that they enjoy cannot be at the expense of the taxpayers. I think not, no politician is going to do that.

Somebody advertised a tasteless prank, where people showed up for Obama care; people didn’t know what that was. They were hungry so they come to get embarrassed for being hungry. I bet that if somebody was offering kitchen garden spots more people would come.

See I already know how to fish now I’m looking for the access to the fishing pond. Most people are like that, regulations and mandates are keeping the big business and the government in charge. There is hardly a way for Joe the plumber to bid against a big box store.

Goodbye Republic and welcome State Capitalism! Wake up people!

There are still too many Drones in the Beehive

 Politicians are asking for money and threatening to withhold services and close the government if they don’t get it. “We the People” cannot call their bluff, so why all the theatrics? They are dividing the loot and bickering between each other, that’s why, looking to taxpayers to take sides. Can “We the People” withhold the funding of the government, just for a day or so each week? Our government is like a drunkard threatening to kill himself, if he doesn’t get another drink, nothing would happen. There is so much money out there that nobody would notice it, maybe just less would be stolen. Continuing not to worry about misappropriation is impeding with the well being of our Republic. Some of the commentators in the popular media suggested that maybe a problem. Obscene amounts of money are being collected and no senator or a representative could be accountable individually, but the managers that actually sign the checks could be easily identified. It seems that the money is being given out with no strings attached and no expectations. Every so often somebody brings it up, like the bridge to nowhere to embers somebody. The problem is much larger than that. Things that are here for long time need to be looked at. A ledger going back at least fifty years could be balanced like a personal check book. Somebody signed for and approved every penny awarded to organizations and programs that were a part of the appropriation, those signatories need to account for that money. We need to know who initiated the programs and how long ago, on whose request, from farm subsidies to education and research grants? Every manager that received money from an appropriation bill need to justify and show results or pay it back. Doesn’t matter how long ago it happened. If only our lawmakers would suddenly get remorseful and confess to all the free lunches they had with the lobbyist or maybe somebody could make a transcript of all the promise that the politicians make, and have them sign it just before the inauguration. Why not make that Contract with America legally banding.

Somebody needs to have an idea of how could be possible to hold the politicians accountable after the election, or maybe we should just pay our taxes and be thankful that we can. Once the bully gets you, he will not let you go until you gave up your lunch money. Once the politician is in the office there is hardly a way to get him out even if he isn’t living up to the promises made to the people. Our foundation and the pillars are gone the roof is being propped up by speculators, it will collapse  as soon it is no longer profitable to prop it up, regardless of who and what is under it. What happened to the “Pillars of Community” did our business leaders turned into speculator? We are working with our enemies because our politicians regulated us out of business. We are talking about taxing the air we breathe. People please, wake up!        

Conflict of Interest

Q: In your opinion do you think that the economy of some of the emerging countries where a lot of major companies from the US has moved to will ever get strong enough to actually buy enough products from the US to make this idea good. Or do you think that the underlying new thoughts starting to be viewed as factual are that the reality is that companies only move overseas to both break up unions and to make an ever bigger profit margin.

The answer to the first part of the question is no, the developing world is looking to grow; only things they buy is energy, technology and tools, that they copy. The labor force in the third world is so marginalized and the standards of living so low that the workers are literality working for “a pint and a crust.” There is no competition from the western world possible. Most of the East, India and China are treating their labor force like the beasts of burden. There are three classes in the developing world; the rich and the politicians, the poor and the dirt poor.       

The second question is yes, and is extremely troubling.  The operating word here is a LIVING WAGE and JOB SECURITY. The big corporations didn’t intend to live up to their end of the collective bargaining agreements so they found a way to get out of those contracts by moving the production elsewhere and are still doing that, moving from state to state, taking advantages of land grants and tax breaks. Our lawmakers sold out the American worker. The Congress failed to bridge the gap between labor and business and to regulate the international trade. Events that lead to unionization and collective bargaining have nothing to do with politics and right and left it was always about right and wrong. The unions elevated the workers to the middle class status. That in turn helped the small business and communities to grow. Once elected our representatives and senators start taking sides. We should never have allowed the China trade. The corporate and the union lobby are equally corrupt. I don’t know, maybe someone can explain it to me, how is it LEGALY possible for an elected official to negotiate a union contract with someone else’s money, the tax payers money. Government employees don’t have a reason to organized; they already enjoy the benefits of job security and a living wage. Government employees already have the political machine backing them. There is a huge difference between private and government employment, it is a conflict of interest; our elected officials sold us out. The business has a right to incorporate and the labor a right to organized, the Congress has a RESPONSIBILITY to bridge the gap between labor and business, they failed to do that. So there we go, buying cheep Chinese junk, calling each other right and left and complaining about joblessness!

Have a Happy Hanukkah and a Merry Christmas and all the rest of Holydays! 

Promises

Media is giving us talking points, and I’m sorry to say that most of us are falling for it. Don’t let them put words in your mouth. Politics is a business here and in the Russian Federation and in China, it is an investment. Most politicians are in it for life and then pass the political contacts on to family members and close associates, that applies everywhere from here to Russia, China and the poorest countries. Politicians don’t care what the people call the political system it is all the same to them, once they get elected it is it, they are in. Does anybody know of a poor politician in any political and or economic system, ever?

We should first care about us and then about the World. Our elected officials are not doing the job that they promised and are elected to do. Their job, amongst other things is, to bridge the gap between labor and business, to regulate the international commerce and not to take sides. So far democrats and republicans took sides of special interest and the corporate sponsors. Wake up people and start reading between the lines. Demand from your elected officials to give you their job description, don’t let them skirt the issue and sweet talk you, like they did during the campaign. Go Libertarian!   http://www.theblaze.com/stories/new-film-tells-untold-story-of-the-collapse-of-european-communism/comment-page-2/#comment-311751
