Greece Now Completely "Vapor Locking"

First here is the link which describes the absolute meltdown that is Greece. http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2012-10-09/greece%E2%80%94%E2%80%9C-harder-default-come%E2%80%9D

Can you name two countries with worse debt problems than Greece? As a matter of fact, Japan and the United States.

Here is a little article that details the 9 trillion dollars in debt that is kept off U.S. balance sheets and concealed on purpose. Were that 9+trillion actually accounted for and added to the existing 15.5 trillion debt that is counted, it brings our total debt to GDP to around 175%. Worse than Greece. http://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/2012-10-09/theres-nothing-fair-about-it

Imagine what happens when the pent up demand of millions of people seeking health care occurs in 2013 if Obamacare stands? DEBTZILLA. http://www.usdebtclock.org/ 

How long can this American fantasy of economic health continue? How has it continued this long? Smoke and mirrors.

Smoke n mirrors n fear. Everyone is invested, so no one gets out. House of cards my man, and we're all living in it.

I am confused. The entire amount of loan guarantees shouldn't be booked as debt, should it?

I think the best way to put it is this.

If I cut twelve inches off the measuring tape, can I say I grew a foot? That's how politicians massage things. They can't stand the scrutiny that comes with debt so they call it something else.

We are every bit as bad as Greece except that we have the reserve currency and the printing press...

It's Showtime Bitches!!- The Sunday Collage

 Today, they convicted Former President Trump today on 34 counts of make believe bullshit fabricated from a 17 year old tryst with a porn star.  At it's very worst, Donald Trump may have gotten a piece of ass on the side. He may have used campaign funds to give Ms. Daniels 130,000 to shut up about it. He may have (gasp) lied. Let's conjure up some perspective. Of all the whores in the Whitehouse, JFK was probably the worst. Kennedy was a well documented sex addict. The "Stormy" of his day was a film star named Marilyn Monroe. Men (and women) have been screwing around on their spouses since time began. Millions upon millions and probably billions. Clinton paid Paula Jones 7 times what Daniels received. Where was the big witch trial then? So men like to get laid. Unscrupulous women provide vaginas. There is nothing proprietary there. No news flash.  The US government spends 100's of billions of dollars a year on welfare, wars, shitty student and housing loans, bond

Was It Worth the Trouble, Mr. Trump?

 Several years ago, as Ann Coulter (2016) was being laughed at for predicting the Trump presidential win, I was reading a piece about why working-class America was supporting a billionaire. It was a nasty piece, a hit job, explaining that poor, working class Americans were a bunch of dupes enamored by wealth and fame. Deplorables, according to Hillary. It was also total bullshit.  Over the years after Hillary Clinton, perhaps one of the most highly effective criminals in America lost her bid to become President, I came to understand the widespread appeal of Donald Trump. It wasn't polished bullshit, it wasn't party support, experience, or a career of broken political promises. It was something else entirely. Something that I treasured.  To be sure, I was not a Trump supporter back then. I am a strict adherent to George Carlin's political views in that we keep electing these rich assholes and nothing changes. So I skipped the voting process in 2016 for that reason and also t

First, We Abandoned Virtue- The Sunday Collage

This post was first published in September, 2014. Sorry for the delay today. Late night, didn't get home until 2 a.m. A couple of weeks ago, I was reading some interesting stuff about societies and how they eventually crumble and implode. More than a few people have postulated that the first things to go wanting are values, morals, and integrity. This was first proposed by Socrates and then expanded on by Plato as they spoke of virtue as moral excellence. How are people supposed to understand the importance of virtue if your society doesn't teach it and your leaders don't possess it? Not only do we lack any type of "leadership by example" but when was the last time you actually heard anyone, anywhere, describe a President or a  Congressman as honest?  If all you ever see is this current day "dog eat dog mentality" from your leaders doesn't that become the standard? If you look outside politics, you see greedy corporate pirates such as the Koch B
