Accountability: With the future of CIT hanging in the ballance, several members of Congress parade themselves accross a stage …failing to realize the size, scope and impact of CIT’s failure.

S&P Grade; Looking A Gift Horse In The Mouth

Friday evening, I was reading and listening to as many media resources …such as I could get my hands on …so as to get a grasp on the various media takes on the recent S&P downgrade of America’s Credit.

My take away from the deluge of the various news agencies offered me a unique and insightful view on number of wide-ranging variety of takes on this news moving forward.

After learning of this event; this is what I believe I found out in my approach to the media’s window

Harry Ried’s Game Let’s You And Him Fight

In consideration of all of Senator Reid’s digs and innuendos’ …his pat answers make no more than one gigantic piece of work …which is still not going to work for “…We the People …”

His scripted sound bytes have even gone as far as to suggest that former President Regan’s deficits bear a strong resemblance to today’s debt’s relative magnitude.

Bunk!

For one, to suggest such is to obviate …overlook and turn a blind eye to the fact that today …the health of the economy and the prevailing lack of confidence herein …only causes today’s deficits and prevailing economic malaise …to pale …when …and if …truth be told …is allowed to serve as a more sobering measure of a more truthful comparison.

Therein, the Senator’s drivel doesn’t make for a stable leg to stand on before making such broad sweeping comparisons …those whose logic and arguments are both untimely and can hold no water.

A cracked cistern can hold no water …such a cracked pot not withstanding.

Money Market & Retirement Accounts’ Backstops vs. Downgrade

What would a downgrade to U.S. Public debt mean to Treasury-backed Money Markets and reitirement accounts whose security profile requirements stipulate that they must be backed by no less that AAA grade securities?

Answer that …would you?

Cut, Cap & Balance

In my humble opinion, there’s got to be a better way to safeguard fiscal sanity other than by putting a chastity belt around the federal government’s purse strings.

They put muzzles on mean wild dogs don’t they?

Horses and stagecoaches come equipped with reins, yes?

“…in the wake of the worst political rancor since the civil war …”

Jim Crammer Friday, July 15, 2011

In Washington …the nature and rules of brinkmanship’s dynamics are always being written and rewritten, as they have been time after time again.

Why then would …or, what then could make the question as to whether or not Congress will raise the debt ceiling before the last minute …a question whose lackluster resolve’s and groaning dynamics different any more than any other thing which this “do-nothing” Congress has touched recently?

Well, then …consider this point of conjecture.

But let me set the stage first.

Is there any one you know that …when they walk into the room, there is a rushing like mighty sucking noise?

You know …the sort of person/organization who believes and acts as though the whole damned world’s charter was meant to serve as a mandate which justifies and encourages wiping their feet on any who take up an opposing issue …regardless of the costs.

And if you have any doubt about it …just ask them.

Well, in Washington’s play …I believe that its brinksmanship in its (ownership) matter of the debt limit debate …merely serves as just such a sucking example …one in which partisan politics extols all of the best virtues and all the worst vices of wiping one’s feet on the other …all at the expense of “…We the People …”

Recovery; It’s A Gas

In the wake of the sell in May and walk away market mentality, Consumer Confidence is becoming increasingly …overshadowed and punctuated by the tenuous reality that America is facing a real and present threat which endangers Her sovereign interests …a risk in regards to the consequences of Her single-dimensional dependency upon a one-sided energy’s policy platform.

Organizers vs. Agitators

In time, what’s the big deal if the net affect of giving up a measly tax credit or two offers big oil the opportunity to reap a harvest …allowing them to play an even greater (dominant) role in developing bridge fuel technologies after a cogress which is fiscally addicted to a Fed’s accomodative weak dollar (deficit- driven) fiscal irresponsibility.

As a politician, any one can survive …as long as one can maintain a

chameleon

-like populist stance.

But, in reality; a well known man once said;

“You may fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all the time.”

So, seriously; don’t be agitated, and for goodness sakes don’t be aggrevated.

For there are and have been many …who for years, it can be seen …have been pretty good at knowing how to peddle snake oil.

So, don’t be taken in unaware …by the very sensual and emotional nature of all their promises’ appeals and charms.

So, be sharp as a two edged sword, because you will need the truth to deal with whatever may be in each chamelions’ reptilian repitoir …populist non-sense not withstanding.

Care for some nice shinny rubby red apples, deary?

Don’t fall into a pit.

Become organized and plan to vote come 2012.

Above all, don’t confuse a community agitator with a community organizer.

Bottom line; don’t be fooled by a chameleon.

Chameleons crawl on their bellies like a snake …or any other reptile.

And while they pretend to speak for all …they speak for no one but themselves.

O Joshua!
