Obama and liars

Do you like being lied to?
Do you like having someone reach into your pocket and spend your money on themselves?
Do you like people always blaming others for what they were supposed to do? Never taking responsibility???

Well the obama bus campaign tour is just that lie.
It is not about doing his job as President.
The tour is a campaign tour for re-election and tax money is paying for it.
Tax money that you and I are sending in to the treasury every paycheck.

Call your congressperson and complain that obama should be paying for this campaign tour from his re-election fund.

Tell the obama to be responsible for his actions FOR ONCE IN HIS LIFE! Stop voting "present" and take a stand.

The only reason there was any debt reduction (small as it is) was because Americans said
TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY - TEA for short. Just like the Boston tea party when AMericans tossed the
English Tea Overboard in rebellion to the taxes imposed by the King of England, the TEA group
said ENOUGH. And it is only because of the TEA group that we have stopped some ((NOT ALL)) of
the run-a-way spending by congress.

And lastly - Remember the BS budget submitted by the obama calling for 4 to 6 TRILLION MORE
DOLLARS IN SPENDING??? WELL that 'budget' did not get one vote. Not one vote from the Republicans. Not One vote from the Democrats. That shows you just how STUPID that obama budget proposal was.

And the obama claims that he is doing something. That is pure BS - a lie.

Remember when someone yelled "You Lie" in obama's state of the Union speech. Turns out that obama did lie.

You can not trust this obama with any more time as President. Anyone Democrat or Republican would be better.
ANYONE BUT OBAMA is on my 2012 campaign button.

And that's the way I see it...

obama's bus tour

Who is he kidding when he says it's a job's bus tour.
It is blatantly a champaign tour on the US taxpayer dollars - just insulting to taxpapers.
This President votes "Present" all the time BUT I DISAGREE!!!
He is not present.
He has not been a leader like any other Democratic or Republican President.
He is an absent President and needs to be voted out.
He has reached his PETER PRINCIPLE back when he was a community organizer.
Yes, he has a great campaign strategy and sometimes when he practices, his
speeches are given with a strong Baptist urgency. BUT, he does not have it
within himself to be a leader.
He has still not written a budget for over 830 days. That IS one of the President's most
important functions and HE HAS FAILED TO PREFORM.
All he does is create dis-harmony between races and find fault in the tiniest places with
Republicans about subjects that he refuses to tell anyone what he specifically and in detail believes.
This man needs to be replaced with a leader; Someone who will respect the Presidency and
make a budget and get out in front and lead.

Somolia's starving children

Your heart goes out to the millions of starving children in the world. BUT these people populate fast.
They just keep on having children and more children. They know there is not enough food in the entire world to feed them and they know there is not enough water, yet they populate and populate and when the drought comes or seasonal floods arrive, the world rushes to save these poor people.

This may seem harsh but the world has about 7 BILLION people and growing. What we need is a strict one
child per woman law just like china has in these countries. There are too many people in the world now!

They bring poverty on themselves by having so many children. They don't have enough farm land to grow
enough crops to support the populace now and they continue to populate. So why should the countries of the world rush aid to these people??? If we manage to save just half the children from dying, there will be another half million starving children in a few years - the children of these saved children.

This has to stop. I am in favor of stopping our aid. We have starving people in the US that need the food
and medicines. We do not have the money to feed the world. If we give all our corn and wheat reserves to
these people --who will be in need again next year-- and the US suffers a drought, there will not be food for the
citizens of the USA!!! And that is a fact.

And who will ever come to the aid of the USA??? Think about that. WHO??? Name a country. Hits you hard
doesn't it. There is no country that will come to the aid of the USA. Nor is there a country that could come to the aid of the USA if they even wanted to help us.

The USA has to begin holding back on our aid. - We need to re-assess our financial contributions to
countries that do not like us and we need to hold our food and water in reserves.

And that's the way I see it...

Whose responsible

Have you noticed that whenever something happens bad, the first thing Obama does is to point his finger
at other people. Seems he is never responsible for anything he does.

Now Axelrod the slayer of truth and the lead finger pointer of blame is saying that it's the TEA PARTY that caused
this rating downgrade. Come on people.

All the tea party did was to point out to the Amercian people that we are spending too much for the money
we bring in as a nation. Talk about killing the messenger and forgetting about the message.

GET IT People. IT IS ABOUT SPENDING AND SPENDING ALONE. Yes, some people will get hurt a bit. But the entire
US could crumble from within if we continue to spend like fools without being responsible.

IT'S ABOUT IDEOLOGY, GREED AND POWER. And that has brought the US to a downgrade on our credit rating.

It is time to do some unpopular things to get the US back on track or we will begin to look like GREECE and
the riots in the streets.

Read the article above. Then call your congressperson and tell them to cut spending.

We are all in this together. The poor, the middle class and the rich - the small businesses and the large
corporations - the financial institutions - all. The dollar is built on trust. That's the secret. If the populace
believes in the dollar and if the world believes in the dollar, the dollar will be strong. And of course the dollar
has to be based on a strong budget with positive cash flow. That means we need to get the spending down
and let business grow so we can increase revenue from increase business - not taxes but increased revenue
on which taxes are levied.

We need to reduce spending until spending is below 35% of GDP. Currently Spending is at 67% of GDP on
our way to 75% of GDP in a short time unless we change and reduce spending. It is not about casting blame.
IT IS ABOUT DOING THE RESPONSIBLE THING.

The Obama vacation days

Ok everyone should get a vacation every now and then. But $76,000 for a night out on the town is way too
much money for a President to spend in the recession.

And where is the President these days where the proverbial sh*t is hitting the fan. He is out trying to gather money for the re-election game. In fact he has been campaigning to be re-elected from the first day in office instead of doing what a President should do - and that's be a leader. And where will he be over the next 16 months???
On the road collecting more money. He knows he will need more money to lambast any Republican candidate.

That is his strategy. Not to run on his absolutely dismal record but to make the Republican candidate seem so
terrible that you might vote for Obama because of how the Democrats have painted the Republican candidate.

This President has taken a bad time and made it worse by a factor of 10. He DOES NOT DESERVE ANOTHER 4 YEARS.

STOCK MARKET FELL FROM 12850 TO 10800 IN 2 WEEKS

EVERYONE should have seen this. And what happened immediately after the stock market fell over 600
points and rallied back to only a 400 point loss?? Well the obama spoke. In the next ten minutes after he spoke,
the market crashed back down another 200+ points. Why? Because obama spoke smoke and mirrors and

not about adding income. It IS about reducing spending." And S & P rating agency agreed and downgraded

We need to reduce spending NOW. And contrary to the Republicans thought, we need to both lower federal
taxes while closing loopholes which allows GE to make hundreds of Billions of dollars profit and pay no tax plus by adding a national 1/4% national sales tax on everything except food and medicines. Between the parts,
the debt could be reduced enough to shrink to a NON-GROWTH phase. And in 10 years the debt could
be lower than it is now by several trillion dollars. That's real money people. We pay real money on the interest on that debt. The lower the debt and less we spend on interest - the more we can spend on US citizens.

BUT we need to act now! The congress needs to act NOW!

Budget framework compromise weakened by obama's press conference

After all the wrangling between two sides and between sides within sides the President opens his mouth
and in a few sentences tells everyone that he believes the compromise is bad and he would not have
gone along with it.

How dare the President.

If I was either a Dem. or Rep. on the left or right of my party, I would be thinking hard whether
to vote yes or no after the President's stupid speech. He should have just kept his mouth shut
and left the process work. BUT NOOOOOO. He has to be the big shot and try to take some of'

Why we need a FIX on the DEFICIT

A while back Congress passed a credit card law which said that the credit card issuers must charge more
in their minimum payment. Why did this law pass? Because if your interest is 19.99% per year and the bill
is only for a minimum of 1% of the outstanding balance, then next month's balance will be larger even if that
person does not purchase anything over the next month. So by BEING FORCED TO PAY HIGHER MINIMUM, the
CONSUMER WILL BE FORCE TO PAY DOWN THEIR BALANCE AND AVOID A FINANCIAL CRISIS.

SOUND FAMILIAR ???

Today with our deficit around 1.426 Trillion and growing by 4 BILLION A DAY the ONLY WAY TO REDUCE THE
DEFICIT IS TO STOP SPENDING.

WHY NOT JUST INCREASE THE PAYMENT??? GOOD QUESTION!

UNLIKE the individual consumer who can stop spending and use that extra savings to pay down their credit card balance, CONGRESS IS COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON TAX REVENUES. AND BY TAXING EVERYONE MAKING OVER
$150,000, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY CREATED BY THE 100% TAX RATE TO MAKE A DENT IN THE DEFICIT.

Therefore there are three options.

Sell Assets - The US has HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ASSETS THAT COULD BE SOLD AND AND THE
NEW OWNERS COULD RUN THESE ASSETS MORE PROFITABLY AS WELL. Money into the treasury now and a stopping of red ink by owning these assets over the years.

CUT Spending - The toughest and best option - but it is more political than fiscal. Both sides seem to not
recognize that there is too much deficit and their way of receiving BRIBES from lobbyists to pass favorable laws for particular companies at the expense of the Citizens of the USA are over.

Devalue the dollar - the worst option. We have already devalued the dollar some 25% in the last 2 years.
That is a hidden tax on everyone. Costs will go up and inflation will grow. We are already printing hundreds
of billions of dollars EVERY WEEK more than the US receives in tax revenue. This is not good.

So the easiest and best solution is to cut spending now. And forget about this bull of cutting over ten years with most of the cuts occurring in the last few years. That is smoke and mirrors because by the time the real cuts begin, the deficit has already grown by another 25%.

We need cuts this year and every year for 10 to 20 years.
We can cut the military - 50 to 100 billion a year
We can cut out completely the Cabinet of education - saves about 15 billion a year
We can cut partially aid to hostile counties - saves about 50 billion a year
We can partially cut food stamps to non-citizens - saves about 35 Billion a year
We can partially cut the size of the Congressional staff force - saves about 100 Billion a year

SO YOU SEE THERE ARE WAYS TO CUT THE DEFICIT IF THE CONGRESS LIVES UP TO ITS OATH TO PROTECT THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

HERE'S THE BEST PART > FOR EVERY HUNDRED BILLION OF DEFICIT CUT - THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SAVE
ONE BILLION OR MORE IN INTEREST PAYMENTS. THAT IS IMMEDIATE MONEY AVAILABLE FOR SOCIAL PROGRAMS.

IF THE DEFICIT IS CUT IN HALF OVER A FEW YEARS, THE REMAINING DEFICIT WILL ONLY REQUIRE HALF THE
INTEREST PAYMENTS AND AT THAT TIME, THE BUDGET WOULD HAVE BILLIONS FOR SOCIAL PROGRAMS. AND
THE INTEREST RATES WOULD REMAIN STABLE AND THE HOUSING MARKET WOULD STABILIZE AND THE
RECESSION WOULD BE OVER AND THERE WOULD BE JOBS FOR ALL WHO WANT TO WORK.

And that's the way I see it...

• Fiscal sanity: 'Cut, Cap and Balance' (politico.com)

Why a fiscal crisis???

One side says it's all about the other side not wanting to compromise.

LETs LOOK AT THIS STATEMENT...

What this really means is: Congress has spent the USA into a financial crisis. Not one side, but both sides.

Now --- One side or rather a part of one side has said ENOUGH. --- LETs Get OUR FISCAL HOUSE IN ORDER.

And for once a part of Congress is requesting that there be a BALANCED BUDGET.

Why a BALANCED BUDGET???

That will restrict how much Congress will be able to spend of OUR MONEY WE SEND CONGRESS EACH YEAR.

So when one side says the other side is not willing to compromise, they are really saying ---
DO NOT TAKE AWAY MY BLANK CHECK.

IS that all bad???

When you consider how having a BALANCED BUDGET WILL RESTRICT LOBBYs' ABILITY TO GET FAVORS IN THE LAWS, A BALANCED BUDGET HAS POSITIVE IMPLICATION.

AND LIKE SPOILED CHILDREN, THE CONGRESS DOES NOT ANY RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON IT.

Our Budget is going to take us all down.

If you have credit cards where the minimum payments are more than your take home pay and you are borrowing even more money from your credit cards to cover the payments, then you are in reality --- BANKRUPT!

NO GETTING AROUND THIS ONE FACT.

So what are you going to do. You have three choices:
1) Get a second job and earn your way out of the dilemma you created by spending too much;
2) Find some way to decrease your monthly spending - stop buying some discretionary items.
3) Sell some things to create some extra source of income
AND probably all three.

OR
You will have to declare bankruptcy.

Now we take the US government's budget. The INTEREST on the debt is fast approaching what the total income
of the United States is. Once the debt ceiling is raised and the U.S. borrows more money; and once interest rates begin to move up just a little bit, the total interest on the US debt WILL BE MORE THAN ALL THE INCOME THAT THE U.S. TAKES IN. And as inflation kicks in and we print more money to pay for the interest without ever paying down the principle debt, the US Dollar will become worthless. And worse, the U.S. will be forced to de-value its currency. Time will come when you are asked to turn in 10 old green dollars for 1 new tan/green dollars. Instantly everyone will be poorer by a factor of TEN. If you had 10,000 in the bank, you would then only have 1,000. And the prices of food and commodities would be the same or higher.

GET IT PEOPLE !!! WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIKE IT!!! BUT WE EITHER HAVE TO REDUCE THE U.S. SPENDING AND SOME OF THE PEOPLE WITH GET HURT OR WE CONTINUE TO SPEND AND ALL THE PEOPLE WILL GET HURT.
THOSE ARE THE U.S.A.'s ONLY TWO CHOICES. You do not have to like them. The two choices are there and you have to decide how you will go from here.

It's a choice between very bad and disaster. No one will like it. BUT it will be one or the other choice no matter what side of the political spectrum you are on. So my choice is to begin to cut spending and NOT raise the U.S. debt spending limit.

As the debt is slowly and painfully reduced over several years and as the U.S. economy slowly begins to increase and more people are employed and pay more taxes, then and only then, will the U.S. economy and the U.S. dollar get on firm ground.

And that's the way I see it...

We had a leader in President Lincoln. A person of commitment. A person of foresight. A person of justice. A person of Honor. Yes, President was all these things and more. And he was killed by the confederates. John W Booth, it turns out, was an officer in the confederate army. But the President was a leader among men.

And what do we have now??? A passive quasi-professor with one foot racial world and one foot in the socialist world. Someone who may or may not be a citizen of the USA. Someone who really never taught at the Univ Of Chicago. He was just a grad student fill-in who worked for free just to be able to say he was a professor on his resume. And he probably never went or Princeton or Harvard. At least there is not one graduate of either UNiversity who remembers him. And did he get the scholarship he applied for as a KENYA resident? Who knows.

And when he was in the Illinois house of Representatives he ALWAYS voted "present". He never was able to make a commitment. OH YES, except to the pastor who hates America - "wright".

Then there is his Senate tenure where he repeated most of his votes as "Present" EXCEPT where he voted exactly opposite the way he acts as President.

And has he every worked? I mean taken a job. NO

And has he every managed a group of employees. NO - He has zero experience as a manager.

In my opinion, he is as weak as President Carter and President obama is doing to America what President Carter did. He is weakening America and hurting alliances with our best allies. obama is embarrassing the USA with all the world. The world now thinks that the USA and obama are weak and not to be trusted. Quite an accomplishment for just two years in office.

And lets not forget how the Democrats and obama are bankrupting the USA. Don't come to me crying that the dollar has been de-valued in a short while from now. Every nation that tried to "inflate" its currency to get out of debt has de-valued their money. The people suffered terribly.

Candidates for president in 2012

Just saw the interview with Mr Trump. He tells it straight. No BS here. He knows that China is cheating
the USA and other countries with their currency manipulations and their cheap prison labor. He knows that we
are sending BILLIONS of dollars to countries that hate us and would cause harm to the USA if they had half a chance. He knows that GE made $5,000,000,000 and paid ZERO USA TAXES last year. How does that make you feel as you read that fact. He knows that GE is in bed with the obama. That is why GE gave money to congresspersons to pass the obama health care law. So GE could make hundreds of millions of dollars in the next decade off the medical industry. And guess who owns NBC - That's right - GE - Think you are getting
honest coverage with obama or GE on NBC - no way !!!. Would you tell your boss he is wrong and risk
being fired? I do not think so.

Trump has an uphill battle with folks in IOWA and New Hampshire. But he has my vote. He is a mixture of the Republicans and the TEA party. By the way TEA is short for TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY. IT IS ABOUT TAXATION
AND THE BUDGET. SO WHEN TRUMP an excellent businessman says he can balance the budget or at least get
it back down a few TRILLION dollars. A trillion is 1,000,000,000,000 - And the USA only collectively earns
about 3,200,000,000,000 a year. And our deficit is 14,600,000,000,000. So even with these unbelievably
exceptionally large numbers, by reducing the budget by a trillion dollars every 5 years, that will bring the deficit under what the entire USA gross national product is. And that is very good for everyone - Dems and Reps alike.

Lots of numbers and they are important. When the USA deficit gets too large, someone will one day devalue the
USA's dollar. And that will mean that everyone who has dollars will have to exchange 100 of their OLD green dollars for ONE NEW tan dollar. And all your money in the banks will automatically be be exchanged. And then
we will all be poor because the prices will stay the same. So a Newspaper that cost $1 in old dollars will
still cost $1 in new dollars. But the new dollars will be valued at 1 percent of the old dollars - so expect all prices to rise - thru Instant poor-house for almost everyone.

Since, I believe that Trump can get the budget reduced and save the USA from having to Devalue the Dollar, i
would vote for him. Forget all the side issues, this election is about your financial solvency - plain and simple.
Yes, there are side issues. BUT they become meaningless if the dollar is devalued. This election is more about
the deficit then employment. This election is not about Democrats or Republicans BUT about who will
reduce the budget. Financial solvency is the only thing to vote on in this election.

If it's time to make a decision - the obama gets out of the USA

What is going on with the selective decisions on foreign politics. We do not interfere when muslims are slaughtering Christians in west africa. We start a face book ground swell in Egypt whose outcome is still in question. We do nothing when China massacres hundreds during a protest. We semi-attack Libya to little

And we have no way to finalize the results.
We have not interfered in Bahrain where we have physical assets in our naval ships. The Saudis have sent troops
to Bahrain to support the government there. The entire middle east is splitting between two factions of muslims.

Does it seem to you that the obama always takes the side of muslims or gets involved in racial matters???
It seems that way to me.

And where did the obama go immediately after he declared war on Libya? He went out of town. And did the obama go to congress to obtain a declaration of war before sending out ships to fight??? No way!!!

And will we accept Libya as two countries like North and South Korea??? is there any way an east Libya can
exist without the oil from west libya? I do not think so. And with the tens of BILLIONS of oil dollars that Libya's
dictator has stashed away, does it matter that we freeze his assets abroad??? Not in the least. So what will be
the possible outcome? We have to HOPE and PRAY for Libya's dictator's untimely death. Not a good bet.

With a President who can not and has never led anything, we can expect nothing from the obama except
what he has shown us already. He will protect the interests of muslims and Blacks. Definitely NOT a President

Over Population and ENERGY

The Japan earthquake and tsunami has shown the world that we need something new to create energy.
Recently in INC Magazine, there was an article about a little box that is being tested that takes less energy
to create more electric power. In fact, one Electric utility is currently testing this new product.

I think this company should offer their new product to Japan's electric company. They would get world-wide
coverage and - in my opinion - if it works as people are saying - this could change the face of electric
power within a decade. People could eventually purchase smaller versions and not be tied to an electric
company's "down lines" during storms. PLus they could save on their energy costs.

Over Population and WATER

AT 7,000,000,000 PEOPLE, there is just so much fresh, drinkable water. It's about 1% of all the water on Earth. A lot of water BUT the drain of water is increasing every day as an increasing population will need more water; as more people switch from a grain diet to a meat diet; as more land need irrigation for farming. One of the largest population countries is doing a great job in managing and reducing its population. BUT no good deed goes undone - as they say. The Chinese people have acquires a taste for meat. The difference is about 45,000 gallons of water per pound of growing meat versus 1.5 gallons of water for the same amount of rice. WOW !!! BIG DIFFERENCE. And the oceans are producing at capacity now. So we now have fresh water fish farms; another drain on the limited water supply.

There is about 1.5% of all the world's fresh water in ice burgs and glaciers. Who would want to risk melting this source of water. At some point, the ocean levels would rise and that would mean millions would be force to flee lower ground for higher ground. That would cause unbelievable over-crowding and sanitation problems.

So what are we to do? For one, every country need to force a population reduction. India is the biggest population growth country and the one of poorest countries overall. Yet their population is soaring. That is an issue for another time. For now, someone needs to be prodding India to reduce their population.

The other resource for water is the ocean. Now the cost of fresh de-salted water is very expensive. When someone can figure out how to extract the pure water from the ocean and harvest the salt inexpensively, that will be the next multi-billion industry. And that will have a down side as well. That will encourage population growth.

Does anyone have abetter idea??? Hopefully someone reading this will have an idea and make it happen.
Until then, every drop of water you conserve, will prolong the remaining supply of fresh water. Thank about that when you are washing, bathing, brushing your teeth, washing you car or clothes or dishes. We can all do small bit that will add up to a huge slowing of the fresh water drain.

Over Population

What would happen if the population increased by another Billion ??? Would the world take notice? Probably not,
as long as there was peace and prosperity.

But if you combine another Billion people and a drought lasting years over several 'major crop areas' - then you would see a world-wide calamity. There would not be enough food to feed all the people. On top of that, the food exporting countries would lose export money. Their economies would falter - maybe food riot - maybe just riots in general.

Add to that another earthquake rattling Peru or Southern California or the Pakistan/turkey area, hundreds of millions of people would die of starvation - maybe a few billion people would starve. The airports would be unaccessible, the roads would be not passible, the water/sewer systems would stop working. There would not be enough fresh water for everyone. Disease would rule the world killing billions.

All because the world has too many people and just one or two events combining to create a huge loss of life.

It's time to start reducing the world's population before these major events happen. And happen they will. It's just a matter of time before another volcano, earthquake or hurricane happens.

Over Population

Whatever happened to "natural selection" of the human species? When people living in harsh lands had little water or less food, it was OK to have a baby every year. And maybe one or two would grow up to have babies of their own. BUT What happens when you "help" to maintain that population with just enough water and food to allow those families to have almost all their babies grow up to have babies? That is a population explosion everyone can understand. Add to that today's medicine and natal care and you have the makings of a future over-population that will one day collapse on itself and take down a few neighboring countries in the process.

Take the Middle East as an example. They are populating exponentially. One country is spending enormous amounts of money they get from oil-sales to get fresh water by de-salting the ocean. Another country has turned the desert into a garden and feeding its population while exporting food. Other countries are importing food - some from oil sales and some from world food banks. There is no rational reason to have such excessive population growth. It is unsustainable and will collapse on itself at some point.

Europe has been reducing its population for decades - BUT with the immigration and the immigrants' continuing to have multiple babies per family, the population is both increasing and politically rushing towards disaster.

South America has had its over-population spurt and will soon be unable to feed itself.

What does this mean for everyone? Possible starvation. Possible no jobs for everyone. Possible a change in the structures of governments. Does any of this sound good to you?

That is why I believe we need to be taking a rational approach to curbing the world's population. Hear that India? Put a condom on it. You cannot feed your population now. India has over 50% unemployment. This is serious. Slow down your population. You are headed towards a major water and food shortage. The world can not and should not rush to your aid. Natural selection is necessary everywhere. It's nature. It's the way the planet works.
If shortage of water or food does not reduce your numbers, then disease or even war will eventually reduce the entire planet's population.

A little thought now will stave off a terrible disaster later. Limit the number of babies per family NOW!

And that's the way I see it...

over-population

Nature has a way of dampening down on "Overpopulation". When small ground mammals have extra large families, the predators somehow know to increase their babies. And this gets the population back level. When any human grouping prior to very recent times grew to large, disease always struck and reduced the human population.

Now we have used our brains to build larger cities with intricate systems of fresh water plants and food and transportation and disease control plus reduce baby mortality. All this combines to create an over-populated world.

When any disaster occurs like a hurricane or major flooding or tsunami or earthquake or prolong drought, all the structures for supplying fresh water and food disappear. This will be the way of the future. The "bread-basket" of the Midwest USA has experienced several repeating droughts. The underground lake in the Midwest is slowly being drained for irrigation. If a drought and the water table in that lake drop at the same time, the USA will be without both a food source and a multi-billion export industry. Are you prepared to last 2 or 3 years before the "bread-Basket regains its growing capacity?

Some of the things we are doing now could stave off that scenario for a year or two. But 3 or 4 years and there will be riots in the streets with people looking for food. And people will begin to migrate back to around the Great Lakes where there is plenty of fresh water.

Somehow - Someway - the world's population needs to reduce by as much as half or we will all be in dire straits.

Why won't the USA put a halt to over-populating? There aren't enough jobs now or in the near future for everyone. And with people coming to America 'illegally' there aren't even enough manual jobs. OK, America needs to internalize job growth. But in the meantime, there is no magic wand or enough spending to create enough jobs to make a dent in the real 20+ % unemployment. Jobs grow organically not by throwing money at them. That in and of itself should force people to limit the number of children per family. That was the result in the 1930's depression. Average family size dropped to around 0.8 to 1.2 children - not enough to maintain a population.

But over population continues. And here are some of the WHYs that I believe will keep our planet over-populating until some disaster naturally takes out hundreds of millions or billions of people - just like the plague in middle ages or the flu in the early 1900s.

There is the religious side. "Go forth and multiple" are words in every bible. But when that was written, the entire human population was at most a few million - probably much less. Today's 7,500,000,000 population has shown we have multiplied too successfully. So we will get no help in reducing the population from the religious side.

And then there is the two religious factions - Judeo-Christian and muslim; both with about 2,000,000,000 each. The difference is that the muslims are having multiple babies everywhere for political reasons and the Judeo-Christians are reducing the number of children per family. - The political implications could change the world as we know it. Either way, the population will continue to grow and the food and fresh water supplies will lessen.

Then there are the liberals who need support from poor and ethnic people to maintain their numbers in Congress. - No help here will ever be coming in reducing the population. In fact they want to increase the population for those very reasons.

And when you consider the transfer of jobs to non-USA countries and the need for employment here in the USA just to pay the taxes for both the budget deficit and social security, you begin to see that the USA has boxed Herself into a over-population corner for decades to come.

Anyone have a solution??? Would love to hear any rational solution.

And that's the way I see it...

Over Population and Food

At the rate the world is creating new babies and with more people living longer, the world's population will soon reach 10,000,000,000 - That's TEN BILLION people. And you say - so what!!!

All these ten billion people will need fresh water. The world is short of fresh water now at population 7,500,000,000

All these ten billion people will need food. The world is short of farm land now at population 7,500,000,000. A major drought would starve hundreds of millions of people in one year. and if the drought lasted for three or more years, the population would continue to shrink to under a billion. That means 6,500,000,000,000 (Six hundred Billion Five hundred million) people would die from starvation.

Many of these ten billion people will need fish. The world's oceans are straining to feed the world's demand now at population 7,500,000,000.

In our lifetimes, the world will find itself without fresh water, grains and fish. Forget OIL. Forget the hoax of global warming. IT'S STARVATION that will bring down all the world's countries.

Think about it. In a major flood, tornado, cyclone, hurricane, snow storm the ability to move food and have fresh water is significantly reduced for a time. Just imagine if the workers to load the ships with grain starved or the truck drivers starved or any of the transportation workers were starving and could not work. The entire world's population would be at risk. This is what will happen if we continue to be non-responsible and have more than 2 babies per family.

We need to begin to reduce the world's population BEFORE a major strain is put on the world's fresh water and food supply. While there are many things I disagree on with the way Chine treats its citizens, China is being wonderfully responsible in reducing its population with its one child per family policy. India and other over-populated countries should adopt the same policy of one child per family.

And that's the way I see it...

Over Population and JOBS

Have you wondered how over a hundred thousand Egyptians can protest evert day? Don't they have jobs to go to? The answer is that Egypt has over 30% unemployment. And that's for unskilled to college educated Egyptians.

When you consider the REAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN THE USA IS AROUND 20% or 60,000,000 people.
(((THAT'S SIXTY MILLION USA CITIZENS ARE UNEMPLOYED.))) - when you consider these numbers, it's a wonder that the USA does not follow Greece and Egypt in national street protests against the government's failed policies.

We know the obama will stay in Office for about 20+ months and the Senate is still obama's boys. The House's new Republicans or Tea Party representatives have to lead strongly to cut excess spending and reduced the debt by 10 Billion to 20 Billion dollars a year for several years.

If we don't, there is nothing to stop future inflation, the de-valuation of the dollar and possible the dollar being replaced by some other currency or basket of currencies as the standard unit of money.

What will that mean to the USA??? For one, the price of oil will jump by 50% to 100% or more. That one factor will severely hurt the US's economy. The airlines will either raise rates or go out of business or be nationalized. If the airline customers cannot afford to travel, the tourist industry will begin to decline. If oil doubles, the price of gasoline will triple. And that means all item that need to be transported whether by truck or train will become much more expensive. And that means consumerism will drop and that means a depression worst than the 1930's.

So you see why it is imperative that we cut the over spending and reduce the US debt in large enough amounts each year. And we need congress to stop screwing with the people and do what is right for the citizens of the United States. Congress people need to put the needs of the country above their individual needs. Congress needs to cut over spending. And do it in the very next budget.

The alternative is just too horrible to think about.

Over Population and JOBS

When people have more than one or two babies and when people have babies under the age of 20, the 'FUTURE WAVE" of potential job applicants increases faster than the ability of the United States or the world to create jobs.

Let's look at this in today's reality. There are fewer places to get jobs. When some employers announce future hiring of a few jobs -even a 100 new job- several thousand job applicants form lines a day in advance. To me this suggests that those people willing to work have no place to work.

It also says that there are just too many people in the job working years. WHY? Because families are having 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or more babies. This shows to me that people in general have no concept of social responsibility to the community. If they did, they would not be populating like ignorant animals without any concern for their ability to provide for these "extra" children and no concern about where there children will ever find work.

When the population increases at 200,000 babies or more a week, and the current job market is at best creating between 35,000 to 150,000 jobs per month increasing the reality that new babies will never be able to find a job. Even if our economy were to create 500,000 or 750,000 new jobs per month, we would still be creating many more babies than potential jobs. The same for all countries.

So wise up my fellow American citizens and plan babies after age 25 and only have one or two babies.

And this goes for the world in general as well. Begin to reduce population now or there will never be enough jobs anywhere for anyone who wants to work.

And that's the way I see it...

Schools and learning

Have you ever wondered why the children of the 1950's and 1960's were so extremely smart? Think about it for a moment. The classrooms were 6 rows of 8 seats per row and mostly filled. The teachers were underpaid. The books were old. There was no free lunch for the students. Milk was distributed in the elementary grades but the students paid for their milk. The lessons were the same year in and year out. Grammar school student had hourly changes in subject matter. Tests were given every Friday and there were unannounced tests at any moment.

So how did these children learn???

For one important reason. The basics were drilled into them by rote. Math. Reading. Spelling. Geography. And in the later years of grammar school, political sciences and CIVICS. What was CIVICS. Every student had to know how our government worked. How an idea was forwarded into a bill and how a bill became a law. In fact, every student in my grammar school dreaded the final CIVICS test. WHY? Because the only way a student could graduate into high school was to pass the CIVICS test. Fail the test - no matter how good your grades and you did not graduate.

So what did the students of the 1950's and the 1950's have that student today with all their computers and "new thinking" not have? These students had to learn their lessons by rote. Repeating and repeating them until they learned to spell, read, do math, and write. It was not difficult. Just took time and the real possibility that failure was not an option.

A student studied because there was consequences if you did not meet at least a "C" in all subjects. Failing meant being held back. No one wanted that - even to "cool" kids or the "tough guys". Everyone wanted to graduate out of grammar and high schools.

And what happened. Most students graduated and were able to enter college without having to take remedial classes to "catch-up" with all the other students in college. And even those students that for whatever reason did not go on to college were able to read and do math and think logically. That is totally unlike the majority of the students of today - as proven by the world's rate of 23rd in math, science and reading out of all nations.

So the solution is simple. Get back to rote and test, test, test. Make keeping up with the rest of the students a positive social thing. Stop paying students to go to school. Stop rewarding bad behavior.

Rote is best for everyone - no matter what you want to be in life. Rote will give everyone the basics. Rote will create a baseline of minimum knowledge for all students and raise all people up.

Employment figures and the government's figuring

We all know someone who lost a job, been downsized and cannot find a job in a similar industry or salary level.

I BELIEVE the unemployment figure of 9% is just plain FAKE. First of all, i understand that it takes an increase of 150,000 new jobs to drop the unemployment level by one tenth of a percent. That's 0.1%. That would be like going from 9.4% to 9.3%.

Then the government's own figure state that only 36,000 new jobs were created. No one knows how many were full time jobs in the private sector or government jobs. BUT new 36,000 jobs is NOT ENOUGH to reduce the 9.4% level to 9.0%.
So you know someone is playing loose with the math.

Then there are the tens of millions of unemployed whose benefits have run out. These people are NOT COUNTED in the unemployment figure. With tens of millions of NOT COUNTED UNEMPLOYED, the REAL UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBER IS MORE LIKE 17% TO 19%. With quick math the suggests that 60,000,000 are unemployed. SIXTY MILLION PEOPLE. Something is wrong here and it's our government's wasteful spending

So you see why I believe they are "fudging the unemployment numbers."

The obama stimulus failed. Admit it and let's do something different. It's crazy thinking to continue to do the same thing and expect different results. To get different results, you need to change what you were doing. IT IS THAT SIMPLE.

Where are potential jobs??? In the private sector - not in creating government featherbedding or government patronage jobs at unbelievable high salaries. That's the Chicago way and it does not work for Chicago (except for the politicians in power in Chicago) and it will not work for the United States Government.

We need to foster an environment for people to become self-employed. This is where the new jobs will come from; not from government directed and funded future businesses that have not even been created yet.

The government believes you will think that more jobs are being created than actually are by creating fake and lower unemployment numbers. The government is trying to "pull the wool over your eyes." You do not let this happen in your normal life, why would you ever allow the government to do this to you now??????

Demand government cut over-spending.
Demand government reduce the spending budget - not freeze it at these high levels.
Look out for yourself or the budget will grow and the only alternative will be for the government to DE-VALUE THE DOLLAR AND REPLACE THE DOLLAR WITH A NEW DDOLLLARR AT 1 DDOLLLARR FOR EVERY 10 OLD DOLLARS. MAYBE EVEN REPLACE THE DOLLAR WITH A NEW DDOLLLLARR AT 1 DDOLLLARR FOR EVERY 100 OLD DOLLARS.

WHERE WOULD YOU BE THEN??? BROKE !!!! THAT'S WHERE.

Overpopulation - How it affects your schools

Over Population costs you real money- directly - it's money out of your pocket. HOW? Because the cities have to raise your property taxes to pay for the extra teachers and new schools. Why all the extra schools and teachers?

Let's look at these three examples:

#1) When the average family has three or more children, that means there will be a future 'wave' in their local school of over-crowding of students. That has several implications. Teachers demand smaller classroom sizes. Therefore, more teachers are needed to handle extra children in small classes. Then as the student population "wave" builds up, new schools need to be built. This is paid for by local taxes - mostly real estate taxes.

#2) When children under 18 have babies, the stress on the schools is dramatic. This also increases the student population and the same scenario in number one occurs. Also, by children under 18 having babies, this also affects the generation timetable. The lower age that children begin having babies, the shorter the generation time and the more crowded the schools become. This increases the Future "Wave" of children in schools.

#3) The best scenario is that on average all families have 1 or 2 children and begin having children after age 25. WHY? This reduces the "wave" of future students on the schools and reduces class sizes and reduces the need to build more schools and helps teachers give more attention to each student in their classes.

There is a POSITIVE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY to wait to have children until AFTER AGE 25 AND THERE IS A POSITIVE FINANCIAL OUTCOME TO ALL FAMILIES. It's a WIN-WIN future.

And that's the way I see it...

Over Population and Freedom

When has Egypt ever rose up from the people and demanded Freedom - ever? For the last 5,000 years, the people of Egypt have been ruled by dictators. And for most of that time, most of the Egyptians were slaves, beggars or a few middle class merchants. But has there ever been an uprising for Freedom?

Think about the Magna Carter signing in 1215 AD in England. That was a first cry for Freedom that I am aware of and it was from the Princes and Lords NOT the general public. The first cry for Freedom from the public was in 1776 in the New United States of America. And again in India under Gandhi's rule over a hundred years later

So my question is: Why are the Egyptian people now in the streets? Who is really behind these rallies?

And why are so many people able to stay in the streets for so many straight days. The answer is that there are no jobs in Egypt. Is it the government's fault? Maybe some. But with the population soaring to 80,000,000+ and almost no industry, where does anyone think there will be jobs for all that want to work??? That is totally crazy thinking. The population of this country is too large for the potential business community to absorb. That goes for India and Mexico as well; and most of South America.

It is time to start decreasing the world's population before we run out of land to farm and fish in the oceans.

Over Population and Unrest in the World

When a country has run-a-way population, the strains on its economy will bring down the economy or bring down freedom. Simple rule. With too many mouths to feed and no jobs, people will just 'mill around' in the streets all day. As they say: "Idle hands are the hands of the devil."

By that I mean, if you have 15% or 20% or 25% or more young people unemployed and mostly uneducated and unskilled, you have the makings of trouble. With a group like this, it is a simple matter to focus this group on unrest. Whether it's for more food or a job, the unrest can bring down a government.

That is why a "One-Baby-Per-Woman" is a concept whose time has come. A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept will reduce the strain on families to provide the basics for their child. "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept will ease the need for a government to provide basic food for its population. As the population reduces, and the strain on families reduces through A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept and the country will find itself in a better financial position.

A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept will reduce unemployment.
A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept will reduce the need for food imports
A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept will reduce starvation
A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept will reduce the need to destroy "old Forests" for farmland.
A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept will reduce the need to build more schools
A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept will reduce the governments' costs in every country
A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept will provide for a country's stable social and economic well being

A "One-Baby-Per-Woman" concept is a concept the entire world needs to embrace NOW!!!.

World Population

The Earth is only so big and there are only so many acres of land to farm and there are only so many fish in the seas to catch --- to feed all the people. Face it World, there are too many people on Earth right now. We cannot feed all these people. Something has to be done or everyone will be at risk of not having enough fresh water and food.

It seems that the educated countries of the world have reduced their level of new babies. Even China has reduced it's new-born population. Now it's up to the rest of the world - specially the Middle East, Africa and South America and India most of all.

There is a reason people in those over-populated areas are always rioting and bringing down governments. They are mostly uneducated, underfeed or starving, and without jobs. Why no jobs? Because there never can be enough jobs for an over-populated world. Wake up world. The time to limit babies for everyone is now. One baby per woman and that's it.

By limiting women to one baby, the world's population will begin to reduce to a more sustainable level. With less people, there is less need for food and fresh water. With less people, there is less need to destroy "old forests". With less people, there can be jobs for everyone. With less people, every child will get more attention and less likely to commit crimes. With less people, every family can focus their money on just one child.

The people who say that we are taking the rights away from people by limiting every woman to one child, I say that is the responsibility of all people for the betterment of all the people to reduce the population in half over the next generation.

Having 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or more babies is just not responsible. How can a poor family take care of all the needs of a multi-child family. On the other side, families that have the disposable income have to share the one baby per woman idea because they have the same responsibility as everyone else to work towards reducing the population.

And governments will find a one-baby-per-woman idea better for their citizens. Each country will then be able to create enough jobs for everyone. And each country will be able to feed and support education for everyone. An educated, feed and working society will be a stable society.

And that's the way I see it...

Making nice in politics

Since President George Bush won his election, the Democrats have issued hate on any Republican everywhere they can find something to twist to make it sound like the Republicans are doing something wrong.

GUN LAWS

I am in favor of allowing the public to have guns - period. One Democratic Senator last week SHOT one of two intruders in his house. What's so amazing about this ??? The Democratic Senator has been openly and forcefully in favor of restricting guns from the public. What a contradiction. The man has no conviction of his words. Some might even call him "two-faced". Is this hate speech - no way - It is simply telling the truth without any added inflammatory remarks - straight truth as reported in the news and the Senator's voting record.

So let us talk about gun control - Why should mentally ill people have the right to have guns? Good question.
But who will determine who is mentally ill and is this a slippery slope that we do not want to go down.

Maybe the answer lies in the community forgetting about "political correctness" - a term that reeks of racism, uniformity and exclusion. Maybe we should think about coming together as a community - like we used to - and report "unusual activity" to the principal or law enforcement. Maybe that in and of itself could reduce the violent crimes. By taking action now to help the youth make right decisions with their lives. Maybe there needs to be more boys & girls clubs to help children learn about the making good decisions and becoming responsible for their actions. Maybe these clubs can help to foster a 'second' family for children; giving these children the structure all children need and might be lacking in many homes.

So in summary - Every citizen must be able to keep firearms per the 1776 US Constitution. Secondly, we need to spend more money on helping the youth now before they develop into criminals or gang members. In the long run, this will save money and lives.

All of a sudden, the Democrats want to mix the seating in the President's State of the Union speech.

Black and White

At the risk of starting political straight talk, one of the 'soul' problems with the Black community began with President Lyndon Johnson and his legislation to "help" the Black people by creating WELFARE. Welfare in and of itself is not a bad thing. But the restrictions of government on who could receive welfare was the main destroyer of the Black culture and the Black family. Recipients of welfare - usually mothers - could not receive welfare IF there was a man living in the household. SO the smart thing to do in light of the free money (i.e.welfare) was to kick the Black man out of the house. This lead to a breakdown of the Black family. Any family without a father is more likely to see their children get into serious trouble with early pregnancy, drugs and gangs whatever their race.

Then along comes Jesse Jackson after Martin Luther King whose agenda is to make money while pretending to help the Black people. If he truly wanted to help the Black people he would have used his organization to help all poor people. BUT Jackson made it clear in every way, that the only way his organization could make money was to focus on Black people at the expense of all poor people. This fostered worsening race relations - putting his organization in contradiction with its stated purpose.

So what do we do about the "race" problem? We can discuss alternatives in my next blog
