We’re number one! But not in any category that is positive. We’ve run the table on consumption, debt fueled prosperity, greed, sloth, gluttony, pride, envy, wrath, you name it, and now Americans are paying the price. People are broken down, the family unit is broken down, and the principles that founded this country are now considered terrorist activities.
By any measure Americans are unhealthy, unhappy, drug and alcohol guzzling slobs. We’re the fattest people in the history of the world. We’re trained like lab rats from birth to buy, buy, buy, and consume as much crap as we can on credit. Almost 50 million people get free food and drinks (food stamps) because we don’t want anyone to be deprived of their ability to consume.
110 million people didn’t have to go to work today, and get to sit on the couch and watch Jerry Springer. Our public and private debt bomb is ticking away at $56 trillion, with another $200 trillion in promises made. The soul and spirit of our country is dying a slow, painful death.
By all measures, we’re at the end of a debt and consumption super-cycle; and what have we done with all this bounty? Become miserable, lazy and obese. What a waste.

I don't think 'pissed' really covers it...
ReplyDeleteAlan Simpson, the Senator from Wyoming calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared "Social Security " to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana ... I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight!!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).
3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.
4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and "your ilk" pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age, 67. NOW, you and your "shill commission" are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.
5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now "you morons" propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because "you idiots" mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal our money from Medicare to pay the bills.
6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you "incompetent bastards" spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.
To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling "bullshit" to your incompetence.
Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU:
1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?
2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?
3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?
4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?
It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.
And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed, leech.
That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.
And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.
P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements". WHAT AN INSULT!!!!
I have been paying in to the SS system for 45 years “It's my money”-give it back to me the way the system was designed and stop patting yourself on the back like you are being generous by doling out these monthly checks .
EVERYONE!! If you agree with what a Montana citizen, Patty Myers, says, please PASS IT ON!!!!
She just put herself on every "watch" list in existence, got put on the IRS's "harrass them to death" list, and will certainly have her e-mails and texts combed over by the faceless army of armed enforcers for the state. She DID nail it, though. They (politicians) spend money that isn't theirs in such a reckless manner they can't help but seek "reductions" and new taxes, fines, fees, and surcharges. While making themselves even richer. Check your history. DEMOCRATS, thats right, Democrats have eviscerated Social Security and STOLEN (that IS the right term) every dime in that fund. And replaced our cash with IOU's. THEN, tell the people that PAID those dollars that the are greedy for wanting their money?? And you think they "represent" us??! They should ALL be in prison. Or hanging in the front yard. God help us all.
ReplyDeleteImclain it' s bigger than republican or democrat. That's what the globalist use to keep us distracted from the devil behind the curtain so to speak. It is pure divide and conquer while they profit from both sides of policy, war, taxation, bailouts, carbon credits, terrorism, drug wars. The commander in chief has been a puppet for several decades now. The global banking cartel that use their bank rolls to influence political policy, the military industrial complex, the private federal reserve, and believe that competition is a sin, are the true masters of deception.
ReplyDeleteWhat,is everyone still here? I thought you all left for a better place in a better country.Oh that's right,there is no better country to live in.Why did'nt you say that to begin with?
ReplyDelete2:59...great observation and post, but alas, I think each and every politician, top to bottom, right down to the local Justice of the Peace, and every judge and prosecutor and any of their armed agents that want to play hero, should be taken out in the street and shot. After we run out of bullets, (there ARE, after all, a whole lot of wanna-be Nazi's, civil SERVANTS who think they are Public Masters, i.e. Boston's armies, people who think that the f'ing RAIN can be taxed, "leaders" who only seek to enrich themselves, and the regular lot of losers, scammers, felons, drug users, alcoholics, thieves, adulterers, liars, tax cheats, imperial elitists, and perverts), start using strong rope. Did I miss anyone in Congress? Our government has gone down the road of corruption and special interest pandering so far that "we, the people" will NEVER be anything but serfs and pawns. Unless, of course, we decide we've had enough.
ReplyDeleteLike we did a couple of hundred years ago....
