Adnaw: Greed in Peachtree City

They are moving to Newnan as Newnan is willing to not only work with the flight school but their fuel prices average a dollar cheaper per gallon.

To the female detective in the unmarked SUV who pulled my brother-in-law over on Hwy 85 near the Kroger/Publix at Hwy 92 south yesterday morning...

Nitpickers: Silence is deafening

The "no federal help"; the neo-cons; the right-wingers; church groups; huckleberry fans; Falwell worshipers; anti-abortion groups; welfare haters; war enthuseists; towel-head haters; "fair tax"creatures;

Bonkers: Socialism: no problem

I could have sworn that Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska was a conservative, right wing, no debt, no government interference person was who she said she was while on the stump! You know no socialism, not fraud, etc., in Washington.

Nitpickers: BRUSHING UP 0N THE NUMBERS

JUST SIMPLE CALCULATIONS OF HOW MUCH MONEY WE WILL NEED TO PRINT TO GET OUT OF DEBT HIT A SNAG WHEN "NAMES" WERE RUN OUT OF FOR NAMING THE DEBT (ZEROES CONFUSE PEOPLE).

The Shadow: The Economic Philosophy That Has Destroyed Capitalism & Democracy

An orgy of government, business and personal debt. Prior to the 1930’s the US government paid its bills off as soon as possible, had balanced budgets and even surpluses. The excesses of spending in the roaring 20’s caused a depression. The economist John Maynard Keynes said it was ok for governments to do deficit spending to get the economy running again. FDR tried it but the depression dragged on for more than 10 years until World Ward II put everyone back to work in armament production and saved the economy. But the politicians loved the idea of deficit spending and began promising everything to the people to get their votes. Keynes didn’t mean for the spending to continue forever, but it has, using the sale of government Bonds & Notes to finance our debt. Prior to 1971, the US backed up the dollar which could be redeemed in gold by foreign governments. France called our hand asking to be paid in gold when the Bonds/Notes came due. Pres. Nixon had no choice but remove gold backing because LBJ had financed his great society programs with too much borrowed money, now in the hands of foreign governments. Unchecked government spending caused prices to rise, resulting in manufacturers moving to Asia. The US became a consumer economy instead of a producer. To finance the consumer, everyone was given plastic money cards. The government got into the mortgage business with Fannie Mae disrupting sound financing practices for homes. The politicians spending orgy now infected State & Local governments, private businesses and individuals. By the 1990’s it was clear to anyone who cared that America was headed for bankruptcy. But the lure of unlimited paper, plastic and electronic money had infected everyone with endless greed. Now the whole rotten greedy system is falling apart. Yet the politicians are still clamoring for more grants for more spending. We’re all caught in a damned if you do, or damned if you don’t fiscal situation. The gov’t must sell Treasury Bonds to finance the debt and bail- out, but with interest on the treasury notes paying 1%, and inflation nearing double digits, how much longer will foreigners continue to buy these losing investments. Interest rates must rise to continue financing the debt, which is now $11 Trillion. If interest rose to a nominal 5%, the yearly interest on the debt alone would rise to $550 Billion. The US auto industry, once the envy of the world is bankrupt, with GM, Ford & Chrysler begging for bail-out money. But the recent $850 Billion bail-out is a less than 2% of total US government, business and individual debt of $52 Trillion. When investors decide that US Bonds are too risky to buy, the gig is up, the US is bankrupt and the worst depression in our history is upon us. Now Treasury Sec. Paulson says the bail-out is not working and must be re-accessed.

Bonkers: Hypocrites, Mnemonic crutches, lean tos'

When we progressed from an Agricultural society to one of machinery and manufacturing, and then to communications technology, in each case many said it was the end of the great experiment in the USA! Just how long could we survive without each individual producing something of worth and value to someone?

Bonkers: Organized (sic) religions!

Sometimes it is puzzling to see organized religious practices such as polygamy, gibberish speaking, snake handling, group hypnopsis, (Hinn, Roberts, etc.), flagellating, stoning, churching, answering the "preacher" with enormous shouts, group therapy (Palin), "healing," three passes of the collection plate, and of course--the flowing robes, sashes, ties, and smoke lanterns of some of the clergy. Not to mention great towers--greater than Babel!
