Thoughts:

With the shutdown, and the closure of the parks and all the rest of the irritating things Barry has done…

Obama wants to teach us how much we need a powerful federal government.

I see how dangerous a vindictive government can be if it is angered….and how little we need such a government.

So when we hit the debt limit……

And the law says that we have to pay the interest on our debts….

Won’t this really just be a spending cut? Won’t our government, for the first time in a long time, actually have to cut spending until the budget is actually balanced? Where there can be no deficit spending? Where we cannot spend more than we take in?

I see no crash, unless you are dependent on the gubmint for your livelihood, be it as a worker or as a welfare/SNAP/EBT/etc. recipient.

Perhaps, for once, if the GOP stands firm, we can actually have a chance at cutting some government bloat and waste.

Then the big fight over what to cut will begin.

But this will, at least, be a beginning.

We need to write more rubber checks….

So we can pay you your social security (with ever more worthless dollars) that we promised you we would fund properly…

“Lockbox”my ass.

They took your money and spent it, now they want to get an increase in their credit line so their checks won’t bounce when they give you your money (that they forced you to cough up) back.

Tyrrany……Blatant

Seems that the National Mall isn’t closed to everyone. Just to some of us.

Some animals are more equal than others.

Since “there isn’t any money” is the excuse to close all the parks, then how can there be money  to have or deal with the rally?

WWII vets = Bad. Us Citizens wanting to enjoy their national parks = Bad. Folks wanting amnesty fr people breaking immigration law = Good.

So only “approved” people can use the parks?

Selective enforcement of the law is one definition of tyrrany.

Its only temporary…

Russia has a new and novel excuse to confiscate hold your pension funds.

It’ll happen here soon.

Betcha it’ll be a loan to the feds instead of raising he debt ceiling. You’ll be forced invited asked at the point of a gun to buy a bond.

Or something like that.

Plan accordingly.
