Aunt of the year

Wow, this is unreal. Two sisters decide to go shopping at Wal-mart. One of them has a 2 month old baby. No biggie, the carts hold the carriers pretty good. So they go shopping and the mother of the baby has to go to the bathroom. She leaves the baby with her sister and heads off. Now, I know exactly what you’re thinking. You’re thinking the same thing the aunt is thinking. “Hey hey! Time to shoplift a few things from the evil Wal-mart.” Off to the races she goes. Grabbing some of this or some of that and stuffing it who knows where. Then she gets caught. After all, it is a crime and the one crime they monitor people for. So, you’ve just been caugh shoplifting while watching your sister’s baby. What are you going to do now? “I’m going to Disney!”. Well, maybe she did. Because they are looking for her and she’s disappeared. You see, after the security guard tried to stop her, she threw the baby at the guard. That’s right, she threw the baby, carrier and all, at the guard. The baby deflects off the guard and slams into the floor. Wal-mart is a heavily shopped store so this didn’t happen unnoticed. A passerby decides to step in to help the baby. Unfortunately, the aunt got to the baby first and hurled the baby at the passer by. She then fled the scene. Yep, Aunt of the year. How much you want to bet that this will be a hot topic at the next reunion? Check out the news station video for coverage. When mom gets out of the bathroom, it takes her a bit to find what is going on. The baby was knocked unconscious due to hitting the concrete floor twice. They got the baby to the hospital and were looking for the aunt.

um, a pole dancing competition?

There is not nudity in the below video but she is in a bikini. So, probably not good for work viewing. This is Felix. Felix is a pole dancer. Well, that’s what they call it. Did you know there’s a national competition for these things? They have competitions for everything. Anyway, the purpose of a pole dance is to be sexy, but when this woman is holding herself on the pole just by her legs, all I can think is, go to bed with her and she’ll cut you in half. It’s not so much a stripper dance as it is the Mrs. Charles Atlas body builders trying to be hot. Call me crazy, but this pole dance is more a gymnastics routine than a seduction. Yeah, yeah, I know. Slow goings on a Saturday evening.

Do you really trust that government of yours?

UPDATE:

Ok, well, that’s interesting. Thank you foxfier. I googled the crap out of this after hearing the local radio dude talk about it and missed that fox article. I went right for the Raliegh WRAL station’s account and obviously there is a hell of a lot more to this. Most articles were blog posts that ranted like I did. This is why we need 2 sources… So, I stand corrected. I still hate the patriot act. It is crap, but in this case, it’s not the patriot act causing Ashton’s issues. If he did what they say, then it’s fryin’ time.

———————————————————————————————-

I don’t like the patriot act. Any legislation that is passed in an emergency when emotions are high is going to be a piece of crud. Plus, the fact they have to disguise what it is, a grab on freedoms, by calling it the patriot act should tell you all. Disagree and you not a patriot. Well, I despise it.

You see, it’s one thing to give unending power to the government when you trust the people in charge. But we watched while Bill Clinton used the IRS and other government branches to go after his political enemies or anyone who became a nusance. You can trust your guy with power, sure. But eventually, your guy won’t be the one wielding that power.

Today’s I hate the patriot act comes in the form of Ashton Lundeby of Oxford North Carolina. Supposedly, Ashton Lundeby made a bomb threat. The FBI stepped in and invoked the patriot act and Ashton Lundeby has disappeared. A dozen federal agents attacked the house that Ashton was living in and after tearing it apart found nothing to convict him with. Didn’t matter. The patriot act was invoked and off to another state he went. He’s “being held” in a juvey hall in Indiana. His mom has not been allowed any sense of reasonable contact with him. He has not been formally charged. He has not had a hearing. He is not being allowed a lawyer. Oh, meet 16 year old Ashton.

Yeah, a real scary one Ashton is. This country didn’t need the patriot act for over 200 years, it doesn’t need it now. A few minor adjustments to the laws at the time (the Gorelick wall for one) could have stopped 9/11. What we have now is the FBI was wrong and they don’t want to admit it. So, hold the kid until he’s 18 then send him to the new Gitmo that Obama is signing off on. I was wondering if the ACLU would step in, but since the FBI is now Obama’s and not Bush’s, I somehow doubt they will care about civil liberties. We need to kill the patriot act and send Ashton back home where he belongs. This is not what it was for. It should not be allowed to be misused again.

an open letter to President Obama on Waterboarding

Dear Mr. President,

I know you are a busy man so I will keep this brief. Mr. President, there is a group of people out there who are a major threat to world peace. They use vast resources given to them by unwitting people on the Earth and use it to further strife and anger. They have so much potential. If they used their God given talents properly, they could build bridges to the future. They could bring a better lifestyle to those in need of help. But they don’t. They take the easy way out every chance they get and the results of their actions are catastrophic. Their actions generate anger and hatred. That anger and hatred allows people who lead fringe groups to try to bring onto the world a far inferior and yet somehow attractive alternative lifestyle. This lifestyle starts off really nice, but always, always, leads to coercion, tyranny and the destruction of things considered good.

You can prevent this Mr. President. You have ordered the close of Gitmo and the end of waterboarding. I am writing this to ask you to reconsider. Think on this please. What if waterboarding and imprisonment in Gitmo could bring some happiness and peace to the world. Would that be worth a couple wet, but alive, prisoners? I believe it can and would be well worth it. So I am asking you to consider this plan. Please send the Army Rangers to Seattle. Have them arrest every Microsoft programmer who worked on that worthless piece of crap called Vista and ship their asses off to Gitmo. Waterboard the freaking hell out of them. Make them beg for their mommies and waterboard them again. Then send in Lyndie England for good measure. Tell them that if they allow another piece of junk like this again, that they will be back for even worse. Once that message is sent, maybe the next version will be better. If so, then those fringe groups like Mac, Linux, etc will be relegated to the nothings that they truly are and the world will be in balance. People will be happy and there will be greater peace in the world. You can do this Mr. President. It’s in your hands.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Chris at the MVWRC

The most amazing five and a half minutes you’ll see in a long time

Seriously. Watch this guy. I didn’t know bikes and bikers could do this. I love how he goes up a tree in the beginning. Just wow.

Way cool thing for Monday!

Here is an interesting story of an aquarium that had fish and its coral reef destroyed over and over.

Aquarists at the Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay have discovered the identity of a mysterious killer that had been devastating their coral reef display over recent months.
Staff had been puzzled by violent attacks on their fragile living reefs – in some cases the corals had been literally cut in half.
…
Staff eventually lured it out with fish scraps – but not before it bit through 20lb fishing line.

They named it Barry. I guess because it destroys everything it touches! :) Seriously though. It bit coral in half. It broke a 20 pound test line by biting it. Not your average aquarium item. Go there and see the picture. Talk about a wow. It sure is ugly.

Sunday evening stuff

Ok, we’re supposed to be afraid of these people? Seriously? I saw this on Sondrak where Doug was talking about how the muslims were supposed to be good at math but maybe not so much. I read the source article here. Apparently many older mosques were not really pointing to mecca. So when the muslims were praying, they were not facing mecca. That’s fine. Back then they didn’t have things like GPS that could target and make sure. But what struck me is this line:

“Some worshippers are said to be anxious about the validity of their prayers.”

Ok, let me get this straight, your god, the one you tell us we are supposed to fear so greatly, the one who wants you to kill all us Christians and Jews and the like, CAN’T FREAKING HEAR YOU IF YOU’RE FACING THE WRONG WAY? HUH? Yeah, some all powerful being. The real God (note the use of capital) of Christianity and Jews and other religions can hear you when you pray silently, so there.

Speaking of freaking losers, meet Robert Daniel Webb:

This sack of trash lost his job. Now, I guess I should commend him for not getting down and all. He could have just stayed home and collected unemployment, which under Obama’s budget is like hitting the lottery, but hey Robert here has a plan! He’s going to hold up a store. The problem, no baby sitter. So, what to do? Again, Robert the brainiac had a plan:

He turns it into “Bring your daughter to work day”. Seriously, look at the look at the poor kids face. She is terrified. Daddy is her rock and her moral compass. He’s the one who scolds her when she does wrong. Now daddy is telling a store clerk that he will kill him and holding a gun on him. To his credit, he did drop the kid off at a friend’s house before hitting the next store and the kid is now safely with other family members. What a guy! It’s going to take a hell of a lot of therapy for this poor kid to get over this.

Let’s continue, with a Sunday edition of White Trash Wednesday. Meet Shana Brown! Pictured here with her boyfriend, Duane Calloway! Here’s her myspace page!

Where to begin.. Well, Shana has a daughter who is 13. That’s not enough for Shana. I guess the welfare checks weren’t big enough or something. She wants another baby! The problem? She can’t have one. She’s now sterile somehow. So she’s sitting on her couch one day mulling over the empty nest coming in 5 years and the lost welfare check. “What to do? Hmmmm. Oh, I know. I’ll have my boyfriend impregnate my daughter. WOW, Where do I get these great ideas?” So she calls in the daughter and the boyfriend and says, I want you to get with her and give me another baby. Duane yells “JACKPOT! SCORE!” and starts to strip. The daughter, however, disagrees. “Um, NO”. So mom tosses in a bonus for her. If you let him do you, I’ll let you MARRY him! Wow! What a bargain! You can’t describe Shana’s disbelief when her daughter says “HELL NO”. I mean, Duane is such a prize. He’s unemployed, he’s a pedophile, and look how handsome!
Now here’s where I get really pissed. She tells her (divorced) dad. He asks mom if she really wanted her to get it from Duane? Mom denies it and the dad leaves it alone and allows her to be taken back.

So Shana gets grumpy and decides to go for pizza one night. She tells Duane, “Now don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” and winks and leaves. Duane slides over to the girl, yawns and puts his arm around her and tries to rape her. The daughter, making every dad proud, kicks the ever loving crap out of him. I don’t know how, the article doesn’t say, but she forced him off by kicking him over and over. Hope she was wearing 6 inch heels! Again, dad is informed and just asks Shana. Shana denies it and well, dad nods and says ok.

Not to be denied, Shana spikes the girl’s drink with booze and gets her to pass out. Now, I don’t know how you can have rum in a drink and not know it’s there, but she didn’t and she passed out. She woke up half naked with Duane towering over her.

Then one day, she gets sick at school. She comes home. Mom dopes her tea with medicine. She falls asleep in her bed and is woken up to Duane pulling the covers off. She slaps his hands and sits upright and Duane makes a hasty retreat.

Finally someone believes her. The police come in and her nightmare is over. Now, I’m ticked at mom and Duane, for sure. But DAD is just as big a target of my wrath. Once, ok, I can understand. It’s pretty farfetched mom asking you to make babies with boyfriend and then marrying him. Ok, I might believe mom on that when she denies it. But if shortly after, she says that the boyfriend tried to rape her, it’s time to get the guns.

One other thing I can’t help but wonder. If a guy rapes a woman with the assistance of another, aren’t they BOTH charged with rape? So where the hell are the attempted rape charges against mom? I abandoned the death penalty years ago, but this just screams for it. This daughter will need some serious help. I hope she gets it.

Hillary in 2012?

So our friends at the Moxargongroup have a theory. The media has grabbed onto the theory that Obama didn’t know of the Protocol Office in the State Department. Hence his inane stupidity in dealing with other countries. Obama hasn’t taken the time to locate it what with all his interviews and tv appearances and rock star trips. However, one person knew of the Protocol Office and obviously didn’t tell him. She was the first lady for 8 years and certainly dealt with them. So, why did she keep it quiet???

Only the Shadow knows…

That call you never want to get

Rrriiiinnnnnngggggg! Rrriiiinnnnnngggggg! Rrriiiinnnnnngggggg!

“Hello?”
“Hi, my name is Frank Johnson. I’m looking for Mrs. Lois Tripley.”
“This is Lois”
“Lois. I work for Monster Medical Company and we have a new drug on the market. It would be perfect for your herpes.”
“Um, I don’t have herpes.”
“Yes you do. It’s right here. Genital Herpes. You are taking Valtrex. Look I know Valtrex is good, but we have a much better treatment for you. You can be out there partying away in no time. We have no side effects and we have a much better cost and record than Valtrex. You can check with Dr. Lopez at Piedmont if you have any questions. How many months of doses can I put you down for?”
“WHAT? NONE! I don’t know where you get your information from but.. Did Dr. Lopez tell you I had Herpes?”
“Ha, oh, no ma’am. He would have gone to jail or lost his license if he had given us your records. We got your name from the National Health Database.”
“You couldn’t have. President Obama assured us that those would be private and not shared.”
“Did you read that stimulus bill? If you look on page 248, you’ll see the start of over 5 pages of ‘exceptions’ to that security. One of those is drug safety. In order to test drug safety, we have to have users. So we pulled the records of the people with Herpes and we’re calling them.”
“This is bullshit. I am not interested. I’m hanging up now, don’t call again”
“Lois? Before you hang up let me ask you one thing. You see, you’re breaking my balls here ma’am. My balls. You have them in your hand and you’re squeezing them. Can you give me one try? Can I get you one month’s worth free just to try? What have you to lose? I can send them to your house…”
“NO! Don’t send me anything. Just leave me alone.”
“Come on. Don’t you want to get back to the partying? We can help you with that.”
“Partying? I got this shit from my ex-husband who porked everything that moved.”
“Oh, so you’re a victim here! Why didn’t you say so? I can offer you a better deal. If you buy right now, over the phone, I will send you 2 free months for free with the purchase of a years supply! You can’t beat that especially since we’re cheaper than Valtrex.”
“NO. I don’t want anything. Just leave me alone.”
“Or, I can send the compassion van to your house.”
“What is the compassion van?”
“Well, it’s a white van with the words Lois’ Herpes Was Not Her Fault written on the side”
“You can’t bring that here. No one knows. I’ll be humiliated.”
“But they’ll know you were a victim. We can even put that your husband gave it to you”
“Don’t bring that van near me.”
“Look Lois, you’re breaking my balls here. My balls. You’ve got them in your hands and you’re squeezing them. My eyes are watering, and I’m in pain. You’ve got to let up and give me something. I’ll send the van but instead of Lois’ herpes isn’t her fault, it will say Becca’s VD and abortion were an accident. Is that better? It will have free samples for you PLUS condoms and morning after pills for her. Our morning after pill, fetalflush, is the best on the market.”
“WHAT? That’s slander. My daughter never had VD or and abortion”
“Yes she did. I have the records right here.”
“No you don’t. You can’t. I can’t even get her records and I’m her parent”
“Did you send 50,000 dollars to the Secretary of Health and Human Services when he was a congressman?”
“This can’t be.”
“We did. He remembered us and that trip to Bermuda we sent him on. One of the exceptions is the ‘opinion’ of the Secretary of HHS.”
“No, I don’t believe it”
“On December 13th last year she was at the county health department getting treated for VD. On January 3rd, she was at the Planned Parenthood clinic on South Street getting her abortion”
“This isn’t happening. Please just go away.”
“Well, I’ll let you pick which one you want on the compassion van. Yours or Becca’s?”
“Neither. Just leave me alone”
“Well, our packages arrive in plain paper. No markings that indicate what they are. Can I sign you up for that year?”
“….”
“Lois? Two months free… Can’t be beat”
“….”
“Lois. If you order now, I’ll send the compassion van to your ex-husband’s job. I’ll get the address from his tax records”
“…”
“Lois. Come on. Give me something.”
“…. I’ll take a year’s worth..”
“Excellent. I’ll debit your bank account and send it to your home. You won’t be sorry.”

click.

One month later.

RRRRRiiiiinnnnnnngggggg…..Rrrrrriiiinnnnngggggg.
“Hello?”
“Lois? Frank Johnson here. I work for Valtrex now. How can we get you back…”

Go to the link. Check the bill out. On page 248 you’ll see the start of 5 pages of exceptions to the privacy laws. Get the guns. We’re going to need them.

Cookie Monster Grows Up!

And he has formed a death metal band.

For today’s culture moment, meet Cannibal Corpse. They have a real interesting set of album covers. Some are NSFW. But the real interesting thing on this is the lead “singer”. I swear it’s worse than some of those bad AI tryouts. The dude sounds like Cookie Monster trying to poop out a watermelon. I swear at times, I can actually here “COOOOKKKKIIIEESSSS!”. Anyway, give it a listen and if you dare, check out those album covers. One gives new meaning to… Well, you’ll know it when you see it! It’s for the record Tomb of the Mutilated. Be warned. It’s sexually strange. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

The sad thing about this is that the are one of the best selling metal groups. Who buys this? How do you sing the lyrics?

But we can trust the government to keep their word, right?

I mean they are such trustworthy souls who only have our best interests at heart. So when the INTI system goes nation wide, well, we can trust that they won’t collect our personal information. What is the INTI? Well, it is a system of GPS and collection facilities across the country to track where you drive “for safety”. The IntelliDrive part of this system uses “advanced wireless communications, on-board computer processing, advanced vehicle-sensors, GPS navigation, smart infrastructure, and others—to provide the capability for vehicles to identify threats and hazards on the roadway and communicate this information over wireless networks to give drivers alerts and warnings”

In short, you know those cameras on the highways you see every so often. They transmit to a nearby central processing area so those DOT personnel can watch the roads and react to accidents. Now, your cars will transmit to those too. What will the car transmit? Well, according to the DOT it’s a nice “identify, collect, process, exchange, and transmit real-time data provides drivers with a greater situational awareness of the events, potential, threats, and imminent hazards within the vehicle’s environment”. Nice and non committal, eh? You have to dig a bit deeper to see that they will be recording speed, lane changes, whether or not your wipers are on, everything about your vehicle. The DOT has repeatedly said that this won’t be used for citations. Um, yeah, right. Well, here’s what the CICAS (a part of the INTS development) says: “the CICAS initiative will produce a system prototype that addresses both control violations and gap acceptance crash problems.” What’s that? Control violations? Now, I’m sure they will say that just means accidents. But still, do you trust them?

Lawyers are already using toll road information to bust cheating spouses. Did you think that when you bought your EZ pass you were inviting tracking of your vehicle? Well, guess what, you did.

How long do you think it will be before the governments use the collected data to “punish” you for that time you hit 80 on I-75 or that time you changed lanes and your turn signal was a bit late or that you drove at peak hours instead of the less crowded time. GPS systems are already being used to track miles travelled in a state to charge the proper taxes. How soon until it is used for other things?

How soon do you who own businesses think it will be before the IRS disallows your deduction for miles because you went down fifth street and according to them you should have used sixth? Once INTS is in, the feds will start using it to regulate your every move, “for safety”. The IRS will use it to govern everything businesses do to eliminate valid deductions “out of fairness”. It’s coming and according to the DOT, you can’t stop it.

Are you smarter than a 4th grader?

So my son brings home an extra credit math paper and we can’t solve it. So, I turn it over to you to see if you can help. The turn in time has expired so you’re not helping us cheat. I don’t see a solution and I think the teacher left something out, but here it is as it was written on his sheet.

The 4th grade class has ______ _______ students and they are going on a trip to Disney. An odd number of _____ kids will ride in each of _____ cars. Including drivers, a total of 4 _____ people are on the trip. At Disney, _____ _____ which is one more than half ride Space Mountain. 1 _____ kids waited with 3 adults making _____ _____ who watched in total.

In the above paragraph, you will find 10 spaces. In those 10 spaces, you need to place the numbers 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and you can only use a number once.

Good luck.

Always look on the bright side of life

I’m still trying to figure this one out. A drunk woman and her husband are at the Minnesota-Iowa football game. She has to pee. I’m guessing the conversation started this way: “Hey honey, I’m going to the bathroom”. “Ok, see you in a few”. She staggers to the top of the stairs and stumbles into the men’s room. Now most women would say “Wow, I’m so drunk, sorry guys.” I don’t know how many would say, “Well hell, I’m here. Y’all look good. Why don’t you come over here and do me hard in the hadicap stall.” Or let’s say she was sweet talked by a guy. How many would stay in the men’s room long enough to be sweet talked into intercourse in the stall?

The title of the article is “Dome incident ruined my life” Here’s how it starts:

The Iowa woman caught having sex in a Metrodome restroom before a cheering crowd of onlookers Saturday during the Iowa-Minnesota football game said she was so drunk on wine that she doesn’t remember anything about the incident, the Des Moines Register reported Wednesday.

Ok, let’s take this from the top. If you’re that aspiring stud that line just killed all of your bragging rights. She can’t even remember your name? Or what happened the next morning? Well until she reads about it when her hubby hands her the morning paper. I hope that none of her 3 kids are teenagers. I can just hear those fights. “Mom, I’m going out tonight with John.” “I don’t know him. You’re not going anywhere until I meet him” “You didn’t know that one guy and I’m not going to do him in the bathroom” Fight over. She may not remember it at times, but I promise her kids will. And they will remind her of it for the next several years.

“It’s ruined my life,” Lois Feldman, 38, of Carroll, Iowa, told the Register.

Don’t think like that! Think of it this way: it just made you the most popular person on the singles scene when your soon to be ex husband and his lawyer get finished with you. Think positive. The guys will “line up” for you! They did once already!

Feldman, a married mother of three, told the newspaper that she was fired Wednesday from an assisted living center, where she had been an administrator.

Apparently her boss wasn’t around during the 90’s. It’s just about sex ya know. She has a private life. Seriously though I don’t think this is a firing offense. Unfortunately her boss thought otherwise.

“I don’t know what happened,” Feldman told the Register. “But I don’t deny that it did happen, because, obviously, there are police reports.”

As well as several phone camera pictures and videos too I’m sure.

University police cited Feldman and Ross M. Walsh, 26, of Linden, Iowa, for indecent conduct.

Feldman said she had never met Walsh.

“I don’t know who this man is,” she told the Register. “I just found out his name in the paper.”

That giant flushing sound is Ross’ ego going down the toilet. “She didn’t even remember my name? Ugh.”

From another paper account:

A security guard discovered the two having sex in a handicapped stall in a men’s room, police said. Police were summoned, and they interrupted the two.

She said she remembers sitting in the stands one moment and the next “being slammed around by a cop and screaming.”

“Apparently I was panicked and very uncooperative,” she said.

Of course you were. You were almost “there” and they interrupted you. I’d be ticked too.

Walsh was released to his girlfriend and Feldman to her husband, police said.

Awkward! So how do you think those drives home went?

Seriously though. How does this happen? How does the day go from “Honey, I have to go to the bathroom” to “Paging Mr. Feldman. Please report to security behind section 101″ He runs to security thinking he had just won a prize or something while totally ignoring the other announcement: “Ross’ girlfriend please report to security behind section 101″. He gets there “What did I win?” “We arrested your wife for having sex in the bathroom with that dude over there.” “Huh? You whu?” I wonder if there was a Springer moment when the girlfriend showed up.

For Ross, the future isn’t nearly as bright as for Lois. Even if Lois’ husband divorces her, she can get a gig in Playboy or something. Here’s her picture.

The worst part of it for Lois is that her kids will have a loaded gun for future arguments.

As for Ross, he’s active military. The military doesn’t look too fondly on their people breaking the law I’m sure. His trip home was real fun I’ll bet. His girlfriend once wrote this real loving tribute to him in the paper a few years back:

“Dear KCCI,

Hello, my name is Julie from Fort Dodge. I would like to salute my wonderful boyfriend, Ross M. Walsh, from Linden.

Ross is 21 years old and a 2000 graduate of Dallas Center Gimes High School.

He is proudly part of the 186th Military Police Company out of Camp Dodge. He is currently in Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, awaiting orders to go overseas.

I want to wish him luck and let him know that his family, many friends, and I love him very much and will see him soon! ”

Wanna bet she’ll be sending in a retraction? The article never talks about him and his long drive.

Here’s Chris’ take on it. If she had not been stopped, she would have finished, maybe do a couple more and then she would have gone right back to hubby with him none the wiser. I’m betting this wasn’t her first “stagger by humping”. On the bright side, she made that 55-0 football game interesting and received her 15 minutes of fame too! Still, what is it about Minnesota bathrooms? At least she didn’t claim to have a wide stance.

Here we go again!

The federal reserve just allocated another 600 billion to buy more mortgages from fanny and freddie. We used to bundle these bad mortgages up and sell them to foreign investors on the derivatives market but not anymore. Once bitten, twice shy. Now no one will buy them. They won’t touch them. So, take a wild guess at who gets to buy those derivatives now? That’s right we do. That’s bad, but what is worse is we are STILL MAKING THESE MORTGAGES! The exact thing that caused this problem is still going on. We are still giving mortgages to people who don’t pay their bills. Nowhere in any legislation has there been anything that stops it since this crisis started. The Community Reinvestment Act, which was the catalyst of all of this, is still the law and official policy.

Basically this is welfare with mortgages. A way to redistribute income. There is a reason people have bad credit and that is they suck at balancing their finances. Some are in a bad position or have bad things hit out of the blue but the vast majority are irresponsible and just don’t pay their bills. They have this sense of entitlement. They know that they can’t afford the credit card but still get it and max it out. This is what caused the credit market and banking meltdown problem. That is why it is the SUBPRIME meltdown and not the rich people skipping their bills meltdown. It’s not the middle classed responsible people who are walking out on their payments either. It’s the subprime meltdown. We made mortgages to people who, whether rich or poor, won’t pay them back. In the beginning, banks were forced into this by the feds and community groups or face court proceedings. Obama himself made a pretty penny suing banks for not lending to people who won’t pay their bills. Later it became a money making pyramid for them. Now it is blowing up in our face.

I want to be clear here. It didn’t cause our recession. We were heading that way already. Gas prices and energy policies started the problems but this is making it deeper. It is causing future damage that will be nearly impossible to recover from.

Right now, our national debt is 10 trillion. The cost of this program is already over a trillion dollars and now we’re tossing auto bailouts, newspaper bailouts, state bailouts and more onto it. How the heck are we going to pay for that? We’re not. Taxes will have to go up dramatically and even then, they won’t even cover the interest increases.

Our current budget is 2.7 trillion per year. In 2009 it is projected at 3.1 trillion and this does not include the 700 billion. This is just the forecasts from W’s proposed 2009 budget. Add another 500 billion and another 50 billion of interest. That makes it 3.65 trillion. Add the upcoming healthcare socialization and our upcoming nationalized preschool and the upcoming free college proposals of Obama and you can add around another trillion. Totaling over 4.5 trillion dollars.

Remember that top 5% of earners Obama wants to tax more for his programs? They made a total of 3.1 trillion dollars last year. You would have to have a 100% tax rate for them just to cover W’s budget. The federal government would have to take 100% of every AGI dollar from everyone who makes over 108000 and 100% of every AGI dollar from most people between 65k and 108k to cover the additional stuff. Now this is based on the latest tax figures that I found. The 2006 breakdown.

So what do we do? Interest on the debt has accounted for more federal dollars than both wars in the middle east since 2001. Social Security (608 bln), Medicare (386 bln), medicaid and SCHIP (209 bln) and other mandatory entitlements cost (welfare, unemployment, etc 324 bln) and interest on the debt (261 bln) are the top social spending items. Defense is another 481 billion. War on terror spending is 145 billion. Where do we cut? How high do we raise taxes? None of this was ever discussed in the election. Nor was it discussed while these bailouts were being created.

We need real change. A social revolution. We need to stop rewarding irresponsibility and start making people be accountable for their lives and decisions. Getting welfare or food stamps and have another baby? Lose everything. Living to 85 now? Retirement starts at 70. If you can run for president at 70, you can work somewhere. No social security/medicare before age 70. Harsh, yeah. But we have to start somewhere. It is time to stop burying our heads in the sand and time to start attacking this problem head on. So what say you? Where do you start? You’re president for a day. How do you fix the problem?
