POLITICS: Stop the Abortion Mandate
In what realm is it fair to make people (like me) pay for what is morally abhorrent? Where does the Constitution say that the federal gooferment has the right to do this?
Government is the meme that kills! All of us. First our souls; then our bodies. Separate Government from all the various things it has intruded upon.

GOVERNACIDE: VA “care”?

6 more cases of botched cancer treatment at Pa. VA

PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Six more cases have been found of cancer patients being given incorrect radiation doses at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Philadelphia. The errors happened in a common surgical procedure to treat prostate cancer. That brings the total to 98 veterans who were given…

MONEY: Your Home Is Not An Investment
Wednesday, August 19, 2009http://www.bargaineering.com/articles/your-home-is-not-an-investment.html
Your Home Is Not An Investment
from Bargaineering.com by Jim
*** begin quote ***
There are many benefits to owning a home and I’m a huge fan of it, but don’t justify buying a home by thinking its home is an investment. It’s not.
It is, however, a place to live, a place to make your own, and a place to make yours. It’s a place to put down roots, a place to raise a family, and a place to grow old in. It’s a place to call your own, it’s just not an investment. It’s a home.
*** end quote ***
Had this discussion a few weeks ago with an OLDER friend and his family. Couldn’t seem to break thru that “rent” was not “lost”. Sigh.
It’s only an investment if you get rent for it.
Frau is enamored with HGTV and all the renovation, vacation, and first time. (I don’t understand how they can ignore labor cost in the renovations. I don’t understand buying an international vacation home for several 100K$; how many times can you go there? I don’t understand first time buyers who exceed their budget consistently.)
It’s only a legacy.
It’s not an ATM like how people were refinancing to get cash out.
Everything is great when the market is going up; down, not so good.

RANT: We have some “yahoos” here?
Tuesday, August 18, 2009*** begin quote ***
I was encouraged to learn that former President Jimmy Carter had decided to sever ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, after a lifetime in that denomination, because of its position that Eve was responsible for original sin, that wives must be subservient to their husbands, and that women were prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors, or chaplains in the military service. This is indeed an abomination and must be challenged at every opportunity. Bravo to Jimmy Carter for having the courage to speak the truth in love.
*** end quote ***
I’m thankful that the rest of the world keeps their women down. As one radio host used to say “with one hand tied behind my back”, these Yahoos manage to deprive themselves of a whole lot of human resource. Good for us! Then I read that we still have some of the same Yahoos here in country.
Wow!

FUN: WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY
Tuesday, August 18, 2009FROM ONE OF MY EFRIENDS WITH CLEARLY TOO MUCH TIME ON HIS HANDS!
*** begin quote ***
I felt compelled to pass this on and do my part.
WALK NAKED IN AMERICA DAY
Don’t forget to mark your calendars. As you may already know, it is a sin for a Muslim male to see any woman other than his wife naked. He must commit suicide if he does. So next Saturday at 4 PM Eastern Time, all American women are asked to walk out of their house completely naked to help weed out any neighborhood terrorists. Circling your block for one hour is recommended for this anti-terrorist effort. All patriotic men are to position themselves in lawn chairs in front of their house to prove they are not Muslims and to demonstrate they think its okay to see nude women other than their wife and to show support for all American women. Since Islam also does not approve of alcohol, a cold 6-pack at your side is further proof of your anti-Muslim sentiment. The American government appreciates your efforts to root out terrorists and applauds your participation in this anti-terrorist activity.
God bless America!
It is your patriotic duty to pass this on. If you don’t send this to at least 5 people, you’re a terrorist-sympathizing, lily-livered coward and are in the position of posing as a national threat.

ROFL!

MONEY: Hyperinflation
Tuesday, August 18, 2009

MILLIONS, BILLIONS, TRILLIONS
Germany in the Era of HyperinflationBy Alexander Jung
MILLIONS, BILLIONS, TRILLIONS
Germany in the Era of HyperinflationBy Alexander Jung
*** begin quote ***
During the hyperinflation in Germany of 1920s, the country’s currency, the mark, went crazy. The government of the Weimar Republic may have been able to clear its debts, but it came at the cost of the citizens’ savings. It’s an era that is still part of the national psyche today.
*** and ***
Take for example the family that sold its house to emigrate to America. On arrival at the port of Hamburg, they found that the money wasn’t enough to pay for their crossing — in fact, it didn’t even pay for their tickets back home. Then there was the man who drank two cups of coffee at 5,000 marks each, only to be presented with a bill for 14,000. When he asked why this was he was told he should have ordered the coffees at the same time because the price had gone up in between. And then there’s the story about the couple that took a few hundred million marks to the theater box office hoping to see a show, but discovered it wasn’t nearly enough. Tickets were now a billion marks each.
*** end quote ***
And that kiddies is what faces us here in the USA in the near future.

Healthcare Plan Based on Economic Fantasy
by Ron Paul
*** begin quote ***
As the healthcare debate rages on, there is one reality that even the proponents of this hostile takeover of healthcare by government cannot ignore – and that is money. The government simply does not have the money for a new, expansive, public healthcare plan. The country is in a deep recession that will deepen even further with the coming collapse of the commercial real estate market. The last thing we need is for government to increase and expand taxes to pay for another damaging, wasteful program. Foreigners are becoming less enthusiastic about buying our debt, and creating another open-ended welfare program when we cannot pay for what is already in place, will not help. Champions of socialized medicine want to tax the rich, tax businesses that already cannot afford to provide health plans to employees, and tax people who don’t want to participate in the government’s scheme by buying an approved healthcare plan. Presumably, all these taxes are to induce compliance. This is not freedom, nor will it improve healthcare.
*** end quote ***
“Where’s the beef?” Clara of Wendy’s fame asked that question every few minutes on the commercials of yesteryear.
One would hope youngsters of all ages would begin to ask the same question!
And, it’s the money, honey. Where is it going to come from?
Economics is called the “dismal science” because it recognizes that resources are limited.
A six pack of … doughnuts … can only go so far.
Can’t print more! The FED can fool us by printing more “money”, but it doesn’t increase the supply of doughnuts. Some one has to bake them.
Somewhere in the world someone has to forego a doughnut for it to magically appear here.
Cut to the bottom line, No one will buy the American IOU. Would you?
Sorry but there is no “beef”. The congress critters “ate” it all.
Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians. Both the D’s and the R’s. No difference.

RANT: Gooferment charity
Sunday, August 16, 2009*** begin quote ***
Please explain the notion of marriage which is not a civil agreement. The churches can do their things, I’m OK with it. But if someone wants to get married (not gay, just not via the church) he has an option of registering in the city hall. What’s the L alternative? A contract at a lawyer’s office? I’m OK with it – but it needs to carry the benefits “formal” marriage brings. I’m OK with destroying the entire system so these “benefits” will not be provided by the government – but until we do you have an unjust system. So to say we are not going to give gays the right to marry because we think the government should be out of this business is a bit unfair.
*** end quote ***
Ahh, see, that’s where you get into trouble … Courtesy of the gooferment … “benefits”. There are NO benefits to “marriage” UNTIL the goofermetn gets involved. Marriage is a PRIVATE matter between consenting adults. Recognizing it in a commumnity of like minded individuals — call it chaurch or the local gay commnity — is again a private matter. No one’s business but those folks who voluntarily associate with each other. What benefits do you see in marraige that come from anywhere else but the gooferment? I personally don’t care who marrys. I do care that I am forced to pay for all the gooferment benefits.
*** begin quote ***
As to the protecting the weak – I’m not a big believer in Human good hearts. If it wasn’t for the government, retarded people as well as people with physical disabilities would be killed – as it was the case in old societies. And since economists and libertarian put financial value on everything they can claim with clean conscious that it made financial sense to keep them alive. Something I can’t subscribe to. Thoughts?
*** end quote ***
Well, you need to update your perceptions. Americans are a SPECTACULARLY generous people. Despite paying heavy taxes, look at the response to the Tsunami. Third world people. Half a globe away. And the amount of money that was donated by real people was staggering. Then the various gooferments got involved ripping it off. Read your history. The first hospitals, orphanages, “rest homes” were all the result of Churches and the charity of their members. I think you’ll find that economists and little L libertarians are very “charitable” when it comes to keeping people alive. It is all about dollars and cents. We have limited resources so we must be very smart how we use them. People take care of other people. Once the gooferment gets involved then the problems begin. Morality is not an economic calculation. Besides businesses first provided benefits to get good workers and get around the WW2 wage and price controls. Workers work harder when there is a comfortable retirement at the end of the rainbow. It’s the social welfare programs of the Federal Gooferment in Social Security that litterally destroyed the extended family structure when it enabled grandparents to abscond to Florida with their social security check paid for by future generations. The gooferment also destroyed the Black Churches and the Black Family with welfare. So don’t think that the gooferment is innocent in this mess. Were there abuses? Sure, but I bet a lot less than today’s gooferment care paradigm.
*** begin quote ***
I rather see less government but I’m being realistic and the no-government future isn’t realistic right now so how do we minimize the role of government while being fair about it is a question I’m struggling with. To tell my friend whose a teacher whose husband died two years back and left her with three kids that she can’t have health insurance but if they’re about to die she can take them to the ER isn’t OK with me. I know it’s not MY causing and not MY problem but as a human being it bothers me. How can you live with this?
*** end quote ***
Well, I think the no-gov future is getting more realistic as the current set of crooks spend us into bankruptcy. The spigot is going to go dry. That Russian might be right; the USA will devolve into smaller states. We have to do some “minimizing”! Some time or other. I vote R and get bigger gooferment. I vote D and get bigger gooferment. I listen to candidates who swear up and down that they are different; they turn out to be same old same old.
Now, let’s look at your specific case. You’re friend, the teacher. The husband dies without life insurance. (Not surprising. Cantor Fitgerald, the Wall Street firm, wiped out by 9/11, had 95% of their employees had NO life insurance. Financial industry professionals.) So someone made a choice to forgo life insurance. (My Mom made me buy mine when I got married. She said: “A husband, who dies without life insurace for his family, doesn’t die; he absconds.” She’d seen too many widows in desparate striaghts because of it.) I feel bad. But, some one made a bad choice. Now she has three children and doesn’t have medical insurance. She’s obviously not teaching now. They all have gold plated benefits. So what have you done to HELP her solve her problem. I’m assuming that YOU could buy her a catastrophic health insuance for 500$ per month. What about her family? Her social organizations? I spend a lot of money each month helping two differnet relatives out of my own (unemployed) pocket. You can’t look to the government to solve problems; they can only create them.
I live with the current environment because I know I didn’t create it and I can’t fix it. I can “clean up” my little part of the Universe.
*** begin quote ***
The reason I’m asking is not to argue or tease, it’s because I really don’t have a good answer
*** end quote ***
I took the time to answer becuase I think that you’re not arguing or teasing. I know that you’ve got a good head and heart from our time together at XXXXXXXXX. Of course, you were a mucky muck and I was a peon. (I learned along time ago that I don’t want to be a mucky muck. Too painful!) I think if WE empower people and hold them accountable for their choices, we’ll all be better off.

Man at center of murder-suicide had years of money problems
By Matthew McGrath • TOMS RIVER BUREAU • August 14, 2009

TOMS RIVER — The muscle-bound man accused of throttling his ex-fiancee before hanging himself Thursday had a several-year history of money problems.

Although someone posted bail for the theft, bad checks and restraining order charges, the court ordered him held on outstanding child support of $25,870.36, officials said. The court then released him Wednesday without the payment. On Wednesday at 5:10 p.m., Zindell learned he was being released, authorities said.

*** begin quote ***
When I decided to write this article, I did not contact the government, submit to a background check, submit fingerprints, take a government endorsed writing class and pay for permission. What is the difference in the exercise of my inalienable right to free speech and my inalienable right to keep and bear arms? The difference is: the state currently fears my ability to resist tyranny with a firearm more than with words, but as we can see from the reaction of the government and its media lackeys to the spoken objections to the tyranny of socialized medicine, that is about to change.

RANT: ROADS; no longer the third rail
Saturday, August 15, 2009FROM FACEBOOK
*** begin quote ***
I drove in upstate with a friend of mine whose a libertarian. We saw all the road constructions (quite annoying to be honest) and he stated it’s unfair he needs to pay for any construction to the roads in an area he never drives in. I had no good answer. Thoughts?
*** end quote ***
MY RESPONSE
OK, he’s absolutely correct. THe gooferment one size fits all requires us to pay for stuff we will never ever use. It’s the only entity, with its monopoly on initiation of force, which can require us to pay for what we don’t need, don’t want, can’t use, and a absurdly high price. Roads are the third rail of Libertarian philosophy. Because the sheeple can’t conceive of roads being “done” by anything other than the government. Walt Disney, private home owner associations, and private roads all exist in the “real world”. There needs to be a revolution in our memes. How about selling the interstate to WalMart and UPS? Think they would have construction delaying their paying customers? ROFL! SO why ask me? You know I am a raving little Llibertarian!

Pink Slip Nation
by Gary North
*** begin quote ***
The re-sets will not be re-set. The lenders will face walkaways. Not that many home owners have enough savvy to keep paying on the mortgages, on the assumption that the lenders will not foreclose.
*** end quote ***
There’s a pearl of wisdom in here.
In an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage), there are times when the interest rate “resets”. Goes higher from the “teaser rate”.
Here’s the gem.
Just ignore the reset.
The bank can’t afford to foreclose. It can’t afford to renegotiate. It’s “hung”.
Payers should just keep paying based on their old schedule. There may be idle threats from the bank. (The smaller your bank the better.)
When does the chicken come home to roost?
I’m not so sure. When this trouble works itself out, interest rates may be lower and the ARM resets back down? When the bank eventually gets shut down and acquired by a bigger bank? When the Ponzi scheme runs out?
When it does go to foreclosure, the homeowner will have a valid argument: precedent. The bank kept cashing my checks, didn’t foreclose, so it — remember my law degree is from the Judge Judy school of law — has accepted a modification!
Very cute! No?
Just ignore the big bad wolf cause he can’t blow very hard!
This may be wrong, but I’m not so sure. I think it’s a very very savvy move. And, costs the homeowner nothing to try.

Obama’s healthcare horror
Heads should roll — beginning with Nancy Pelosi’s!
By Camille Paglia
*** begin quote ***
I just don’t get it. Why the insane rush to pass a bill, any bill, in three weeks? And why such an abject failure by the Obama administration to present the issues to the public in a rational, detailed, informational way? The U.S. is gigantic; many of our states are bigger than whole European nations. The bureaucracy required to institute and manage a nationalized health system here would be Byzantine beyond belief and would vampirically absorb whatever savings Obama thinks could be made. And the transition period would be a nightmare of red tape and mammoth screw-ups, which we can ill afford with a faltering economy.
*** end quote ***
Seems like Paglia gets it. I’m no fan of today’s liberals. But, being a classical liberal myself, I can understand the appeal of helping people. In the case of this nonsense in DC, we’ll be “helping” people into a mess. An inextricable mess.
For my own part, I’d suggest that we have one small change each year until we solve the problem. There is a problem here somewhere. Isn’t there?
I’m not so sure we have even defined the problem that Obama-care is supposed to solve?
How about if we make health insurance deductible to individuals? Then we would have EXACT numbers on % insured. (No one misses a tax DEDUCTION!)
