The recent government shutdown should be an eye-opener for every able bodied thinking person to serious analyze. Ignorance has always been the staple that has been relied on since any debates have began. If you do not know how the system works, you will never be aware of what is lost as a result. When the final figure of $24 billion in lost revenue was pointed out after the 16 day shutdown, people have not asked to see a breakdown in how that figure was arrived at. The cause of our economic woes did not happen just on the watch of President Obama. At the end of Clinton’s presidency, we were told that the budget was balanced and the economy was quite robust. Then came Bush. No one seems to follow up on the fact that Bush had a brother who was in the banking industry and was involved in the scandal of the Savings and Loan operations of the United States. Banks went bankrupt, no meaningful investigation of the Bush involvement was ever done. This act alone should have been classified as treason, but as we all know, money talks. President Bush embarked on a mission to rob the poor and give to the rich and carried it out quite successfully. Many others that had various appointments by Bush within the government have gone on to make more company in the private sector by establishing companies that profitted on our war involvement. Dick Cheney and his involvement with Haliburton is one prime example. As a result of 9/11, security companies sprung up and obtained government contracts with nary minority involvement. Former head of Homeland Security, Micheal Chertoff, has a company that provides the body scanner equipment used in most airports today. All one would have to do is follow the money trail, knowing in the meantime, that doing so can cost you your life. So then, is then any question as to why you are not seeing any hardcore investigative inquiries into these matters? Where is 60 Minutes, Dateline, and all of the other so-called informative media when you need them? It has been my opinion that people truly believe that we have no idea of what is going on, which is a direct insult to our intelligence. But even if you know, one can see why people are discouraged in even trying to point out inconsistencies. The overall problem is that there are no mechanisms in place to monitor efficiency and stop wasteful spending. The mismanagement of the funding throughout every business entity on a global scale is appalling. But the buck is passed right to the lowest level of the pole, which is the 99% that was often talked about during the campaign period, but has been swept into silence since. If programs like Social Security had to match inflation, the system would have been broke years ago. It is seen as a problem now due to the fact that survival rates have been increased as people are living longer. But do not be surprised when a new disease is introduced to eradicate the population and bring things to a managable level once again. If you think you do have nothing now, just hang in there because you have not even begun to see what is behind the curtain of life. President Obama has tried to reason with those he was elected with to do what is right. In doing so, he has been the object of a level of hatred now seen since Sammy Davis Jr hugged Nixon. The people he attempts to reason with do not have any hint of respect for him and they do not mind if the public knows it. In many cases they have the support of the districts they represent which should be a wake call to everyone about how the political process is working. Hopefully common sense will be used before the January/February deadlines, but only time will tell. Peace out, Papacool.

Please, once and for the last time……

Get over the fact that there is a man of color in the White House. If this were about Mr. Obama, do you think for one second the Democratic Party which has in it ranks white Southern representatives also, would stand with this president. They are walking in lock step with Mr. Obama in regard to his position. I say this because many of us identify the tea party activists as Southern racists. This fight is about policy! It is about entitlements! It is about billions of dollars that will cease to be under control of the very wealthy, and will be spent directly on the American people. Those who are finacing this campaign can care less if Mr. Obama is white or black. Remember how they fought and beat Hillary Clinton when she proposed a healthcare program during the Clinton adminstration? The biggest fight is yet to come! That is going to be the fight over Social Security. If we continue to personalize these fights to Mr. Obama, we will lose sight of the fact someone is taking money from us as Americans, and our Social Security benefits will be gone. I bet they will trot out the racists to front the campaign to cut Social Security also, although with more difficulty because so many of us benefit from this program. Nevertheless, we must focus on what wealthy powerful people really want and that is to stay wealthy powerful people! Money is power. Anytime there is transference of wealth as big as the ACA …, they see it as a time for war. Don’t get me wrong, I know racism exist. However, when a person is picking my pocket, I first want to turn around and stop my pocket from being picked by grabbing hold of my wallet, then I consider the color of the person picking my pocket. Well with the ACA, Democrats have succeed in picking the Republicans’ pockets and they are grabbing their wallets, and in the process of doing this they are using every tool at their disposal, including attempting to get us to think this is all about Mr. Obama. Wisdom is looking beyond the immediate. Mr. Obama is not making this about him. Maybe he sees something we don’t. http://www.sslumpsum.com
