ONE OLD DOG

On the outskirts of Pittsburgh, they used Porkulus funds to do the road maintenance they needed to do anyway. They didn’t build new roads or make real improvements to existing ones — they only repaired existing roads that needed to be resurfaced anyway. I’m talking about the 22-30/22W interchange.

As many here have already noted, small businesses are already hurting and not hiring. This certainly isn’t going to help, and at least the Times is attributing much of the Friday sell off to the CIT situation.

There, I fixed it.

I remember reading (was it Art?) that there were some abrupt enormous currency movements that started the collapse of an already overleveraged system and set off the emergency alarms of our financial leaders.

What I am starting to think as becoming more likely is that these movements were intentional; and also I supect that it was primarily Soros and Middle East countries (like those who made those untraceable donations to Obama’s campaign) who were behind this initial act.

Once the credit collaps/liquidity squeeze began, the crisis was genuine and extraordinary responses had to be taken.

What I don’t know is which of our financial leaders were just responding to an unprecedented situation, and who exploited this situation to prepare the wasy to make a grab for power under an Obama regime, given that (unless I’m wrong) it is hold-overs from the Bush administration who turned TARP into a slush fund for government takeovers of banks, auto companies, etc and other purposes far outside of the orginal purpose.

I’m not sure what was behind your AFDB comment, but I am a bit touchy on this subject because I have an acquaintance who has been lining her house for years with tin foil to keep our government rays, etc. – so I know there are people out there who are in bondage to this whole bit; it’s not just humor.

I’m one of the very few here who has actually dealt with practicing communist community and union organizers; I know one when I see one and I know their tactics. I saw one the minute I laid eyes on Comrade Obama and I knew what was coming; wish more had.

Then again, McCain let himself fall into the trap that Paulson had set for him, and that was game, set, match for the election.

And now our leaders are driving us down the path to economic peonage.

What is not clear is how to divide players between conspirators vs. the gullible.

Nonetheless, since my tax money goes to the most ridiculous (not to mention corrupt) schemes, mostly in an effort to pay off political cronies, I have no real incentive to prop up such a system — not to mention having to pony up for “school supplies” (liquor, pot, big screen TV’s and cigs), cell phones, sexual incontinence, rent subsidies and God knows what else for so-called “poor people.”

So, basically, as long as I can cover my mortgage, utilities, gas, food, tax and ins, what do I care if my business grows? It’s just going into the federal gubmint’s giant money hole to be burned. I sho’ ain’t killin’ myself fo’ dat.

And what happens if I can no longer cover my living expenses? I guess I’ll go on the dole, too. The trouble with that, of course, is that if the same thing happens to enough people, there will be no one left to pay for the dole. Someone needs to ask Dear Leader that.

NO MO O.
