GeoPolitical Economic Financial Trends in Perspective
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
To Rand Paul:
Kudos for speaking your mind today Rand Paul!!!
You are so right in one respect. This vote to raise the debt ceiling is not going to stop the annual deficits’ from contributing huge sums to the debt. Your are right this bill will not stop the fact nor the affect that each yearly deficit will continue to grow the public debt.
In this, this still will not much alleviate the huge sums which still need to be borrowed in order to sustain the spending habits necessary to support the governmnet in a lean revenue environment …one in which tax receipts are still a very scarce and harsh reality.
The paradox of reality’s pain has not yet well embraced.
Otherwise, it would have been more than well met and dealth with the necessary degree of resolve demanded in principal and scope by means which would have otherwise …resolved …long ago …to reconcile our debt in and with a rather greater certain measure of calm fiscal sanity.
And you are right that it will merely slow it down a bit …still allowing the debt to grow by 7 trillion dollars …rather than 11 trillion over the next ten years.
I understand why you declared tonight that you will not vote for the Bill when the House Bill is presented to the Senate.
On principal, it is no wonder why …over 60 Republican Nay VOTES were recorded in tonight’s House Vote.
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 …â€
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.
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 …â€

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 …â€
Should consumers despair that they …as of yet, still do not have the luxury to chose a commercially viable alternative at the pump?
Or should Americans take heart and stand up and celebrate the huge opportunity to make a call for a tremendous change …one which really would …should and will make a world wide world of difference for the betterment of consumers everywhere?
The choice is a no-brainer.
As such, for now …America (largely) has made no such choice to either stand nor make the call for such an alternative bridge fuel …in mass.
And, such as has been the case to date …this (non-call …at it were) has long stood to produce an advantage whose single most dominant luxury is being enjoyed (…like no other position can afford) …by one single segment …of an industry group …one which is comprised by a handful of rather lucky dominant oil exporters.

After all, without choice …America; She is an enslaved patient …force-feeding a system holding her as a slave to forces which are out of the dwindling subset of institutions which once served Her once dominant enablement’s …those which once upon a time added to …rather than detracted from Her self sovereign ability to control Her own destiny.
I would not call that service befitting the better interests of Americans …at this time.
I know nothing …indeed!
However, I do know one thing all the more; I wouldn’t mind having a better opportunity to make the choice to install a cheap …economical filling station in my home.
Now that …I know would be a total gas!!!
Wouldn’t it?
Well, maybe not for those who have put on and invested their bets in going long in calls …on CRUDE.
Talk about being made the cow’s tail …?
How now brown cow?
How now …is anything but CRUDE.
As a matter of fact …it just may just the gas America is looking for …the solution which the man behind the curtain does not want you to see.
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.â€
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!
