YOU CAN'T CASH A CHECK FOR MONEY YOU DON'T HAVE


This situation here with PelosiCare must be stopped. Now, I’m not even talking about dismantling and stopping the rest of Leviathan. I’m just talking about stopping the beginning of what really truly will be the end. This is why some of us are so desperate, we’re willing to call Constitutional Conventions.

What Pelosi and her buddies are doing in the Kremlin on the Potomac right now is a Constitutional Convention. They are amending the way 310 million people will live their lives forevermore. They are a de facto convention with this healthcare debate, which isn’t a debate. So the idea that we out here, why, we shouldn’t have a convention, it’s dangerous, how much more dangerous could it be? What, are we going to have a Constitutional Convention called by states that want to rein in the federal government? You mean to tell me they’re going to pass amendments to give Pelosi more power? I mean, this...

You know that in the Pelosi bill there’s jail time. You don’t buy the policy, you go to jail. You don’t buy the policy, first they fine you. If you don’t pay the fine, then you go to jail. Obama was asked about this.

[Imitating Obama] Oh no, I , well I , uh.

What else is tied to this story? Our debt. I want you to read this. The Obama administration is confident Congress will raise the country’s debt limit by year end to avert a shutdown, a showdown similar to the one that shuttered parts of the government in 1995. The White House wants an increase of at least $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion added to the debt. You know what your share of that debt currently is? $39,000 for every man, woman and child alive, 39 grand. They want to add another trillion to a trillion and a half to your credit card. This is another instance where the so-called Blue Dogs can be called out as the fake, phony traitors that they are. Call them. Call your alleged Blue Dog conservative, fiscally conservative member of Congress and tell them no. You’re going to get serious about the deficit, let’s start today. No. Swear to them that, if they vote to extend this debt, that you will personally run against them. This is not a joke anymore. It’s not funny. $1.5 trillion.

The budget deficit for last month was somewhere on the order of, oh, where is it, I saw the story. Hang on, here. I’m going to give you the exact number of the damage that was done just last month. Believe it was 171 billion. That’s not it. Let’s try this one. I’m looking for this in real time because I lost – oh, here it is. $176.36 billion gap between receipts and expenditures last month. What world, what reality are these people living in? And you want to jack it up more? Ladies and gentlemen, again, I’m going to say it, very calmly and very reassuringly. These people in Congress are traitors. They are intentionally doing this to you and to me. And I’m sick of it. This is not a, oh, well, we didn’t expect the revenues to go down. How blithering stupid could you be? They are intentionally wrecking the remaining facets, the remaining tenets of our free market economy. Which we don’t really have. We have a managed economy. They want it to be completely and totally managed, under their management now.

Just the other day, Christopher Hissy Fit Dodd, introducing legislation to rein in the financial services industry to the tune of 1,200 pages. This will fix the problem in our financial services industry. Ladies and gentlemen, if I may be so bold, may I ask the gentleman from Connecticut exactly and precisely why I need a financial services industry? May I ask the gentleman from Connecticut if he has ever seen “It’s a Wonderful Life”? With old Jimmy Stewart, there. You ever seen “It’s a Wonderful Life?” What do they – what does George Bailey sell? Mortgages. Homesteads, they used to call them.I don’t want to be involved with you people on Wall Street anymore. I know your game. I know you’re all corrupt. I know that the institution itself is corrupt. I know that the Federal Reserve and the Treasurer make it so that it’s corrupt. I know that you are the launderers of first choice for the newly minted money that my children will be compelled into slavery to pay back. And I don’t want anything to do with you anymore. I certainly don’t need 1,200 pages of rules and regulations written to the benefit of lawyers, written so that common folk can’t understand them, so we can continue this charade that what happens on Wall Street must be good for Main Street. There’s little that happens on Wall Street that’s good for Main Street. What happens on Main Street is good for Wall Street. This is the point of republican rule with a little “r.” Please.

This is Jefferson’s point. When this came up in the election of 1800, and after Jefferson was elected, there was a foreign dignitary that was visiting who was mocking and saying, well, America is not going to survive. You do not have the centralized authority that we have over in Europe. You will need a gigantic, a Leviathan to manage your affairs. And Thomas Jefferson said, no, that’s why we’re going to beat your ass. That’s what makes us better. We are going to decentralize. We’re going to keep decentralization. Our little “r” republican rule is what will make us better because decisions are made with liberty in hand at the closest point to the execution of the result. Or to the result of the executed choice. This is how a free people work. This is how freedom works. This is how liberty works here. And the more you centralize it, the worse it gets for someone because there has to be someone in the centralization that is taking from the productive to give to the non. So now they want to jack the debt limit up again. Tell them no. It’s not going to stop them, and they’re going to do it anyways. But at least you’ll be on the record as having tried to stop it.

And by the way, did you know, if you’re an investor, if you are invested in Wall Street, that there’s a 69 percent capital gains tax included in the Pelosi bill? Harry Worthless Warbucks Reid will probably announce later on today that in his destroy the American economy, what remains of it, destroy capital formation bill, that a new payroll tax is going to be added? Oh, they’ll start at a quarter of a million dollars. That won’t be enough. And then they’ll gradually graduate it down to where it starts hitting you people that think that you’re middle class, making 75, 80 grand. They’re coming for you. That’s where the money is, and they’re coming to get it. This federal Leviathan needs to be dismantled.

So basically this story here from Bloomberg, “U.S. Treasury Confident Congress Will Increase Debt Ceiling,” this is about, oh, we must prevent the government from shutting down. I don’t know about you, but I kind of get my jollies. I’m getting excited. Call my wife and tell her I’m excited. I don’t need Viagra or Levitra. I’m excited about the government shutting down. We could have government shutdown babies being made all across the amber waves of fuel. Just imagine the peace and harmony we’d have if federal bureaucrats were unemployed, if Congress had no more money to spend.

I tired of having it rammed in my arse. It is high time to do some F'n back!

Sharky: Since the time of Reagan and supply side economics America other than the wealthiest have been "getting the bone up the arse" with deficit spending. It was the guys on your side that spent the hell out of money we didn't have.

In the three years I've been blogging, only one blogger on your side of the spectrum has said he would pay higher taxes to finance the occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Face it my man. The neocon right wants it all and doesn't want to pay for it.



You come up with real spending cuts and policies to get our fiscal house in order and I will be glad to listen and praise you. The truth is you, and your neocon republican leaders won't because your side is not into making tough choices. And save me the crap about invading Iraq and Afghanistan as being tough for the neocon right. They were easy choices for them becuase they benefitted the defense contractors and Halliburton. Groups that donbate millions to them.
