This Part 5 of this series of "How to Privatize America" will be to look at the 2012 political race coming up, and to have a more clear understanding of the item's that are at stake for American's, a tad on political awareness, and how you can lessen the blow of the storm that we are currently going through is all. This is not a political blog actually, and the title "Politically Depressed" was done in humor only, nor do I have the political insight as many blogger's, but when it come's to the "game" ... I know my shit, okay? And this is why I pounded these issue's throughout this journal since I started it 3 year's ago, not because I "like" politic's, or writing about them much. Some folk's also think it is pointless to vote, and I can understand ... but realize that the "vote" is one of the only tool's beside's your right's that you still have left to have even a sliver of voice, regardless if the deck is rigged or not, we still have "tool's", we just dont utilize them ... even the President was able to catch this cesspool off guard when he raised over 3 quarter's of a billion dollar's from smaller doner's when he ran against McCain ... and McCain sure raised Hell over that ... when Obama wanted to fund his own campaign as a result, he actually whined that candidate Obama "wouldnt" accept the government campaign funding ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... imagine that ... coming from a so called "conservative" :)
But one of the main reason's for adding this Part 5 now, is because of the complaint's I been hearing about President Obama starting his campaign fundraising a few week's back (early) and saying his goal was to raise $1 billion dollar's, and many American's feel that is greed, etc. Understand first of all what the President is up against ... a billion is just chicken feed and not nearly asking for much, this show's at least he's somewhat sincere, because rest assured as I have especially pointed out when the "Health Care Reform" was on the table a couple year's back ... "why" it wasnt likely to see any "public option" and instead just seeing a buffet of complex bullshit and twisted plan's, pork, etc ... I wrote all that because of the billion's that was being put up for assurance, by the insurance/ pharma giant's, in order to make 100's of billion's in profit's basically. If the President raises one billion for instance, rest assured he will be challenged by the right/ special interest's, who will put up $1.5 billion if they have to, if he were to raise $1.5 billion, they would beat that with $2 billion, etc, etc (and trust me, they wont make the mistake they made in 2008, when Obama suprised them by almost raising that amount in small donation's, ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... they didnt see that coming and was flip- flopping all over the place :) ... bottom line ... there are hundred's of billion's at stake that many of us dont see in this scam, and paying simply a couple billion for these iconic entities is a drop in the bucket investment. So this is why I also focus on these issue's, is to not make us wealthy, but comfortable with enough knowledge to never end up in a the poor house or a soup line basically.
For those who dont know me, or read anything I wrote that read this, let me make it clear that I am very pro- business, and for giving even corporate incentive's, I am pro- defense/ military, an NRA supporter/ member, voted Republican most of my life and have many conservative value's economically speaking, I am liberal on simple stuff issue's, such as pro- choice, same sex marriage stuff, art's, against organized religion's across the board, etc. So dont view this as coming from some fella who is/ was a die hard Democrat/ Liberal ... and that which I am liberal on ... I am so liberal that many liberal's would frankly be outraged of my idea's and proposal's .... and so conservative on issue's like defense and fiscal responsibility, budget's etc, that Republican's would be outraged, so let's just say I'm a tad like ole Bernie Sanders (in the "independent" sense), heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... on these particular issue's. Also I dont draw SSI, or ever drawn anything from the gvmnt, at all in my entire life, so this isnt about me, I'm a very confident man in my decision making and move's, alwayz been, and independent, however ... when the damn time come's for me to be able to draw SSI at whatever age it is (65?), I plan on filing for it, since I been paying into it for alot of year's. But this is going to have a ripple effect tragedy on American's from all level's of middle classes on down, if the GOP win's any more power in this nation in 2012, and especially if they get the Oval Office as well as both House's.
To make this showdown simple for the reader, look at it like a football game ... it is the Championship/ SuperBowl ... and the team's are the left and right, the right/ special corporate interest's, took possession of the ball in 2010/ 4th Qtr, and it's the last 2 minute's drill of the game, they have the ball on the 50 Yd line with 3 time out's remaining, the dem's are up by 7 point's, so the rep's know that they cant just get a 3 point field goal and win, they MUST go for the 7 point's, or the touchdown 6 point's and take a gamble with the extra 2 pointer to win, or just get 7 and tie into overtime. What's at stake is ... a trophy for the GOP/ special interest's that will amount to hundred's of billion's in the longrun. So this is why they are driving/ spending so hard and making stealthy move's, and proposing and doing everything they can to gridlock/ stop the clock to save time on the clock and stretch out the game. And the loser will be the people and your children, etc. All these arguement's also about budget cut's, etc ... are more nonsense and scare talk, just as I wrote about the bailout's, HCR, and whatever else, it's all nonsense, if anyone on either of these side's was seriously going to do something about the budget, we wouldnt be spending billion's in the middle eastern conflict's, blowing up shit, rebuilding it, having multi million dollar bombing campaign's like kid's popping off firecracker's on fire ant's, etc ... believe me, there's plenty to cut and you know it, beside's social service's, which is peanut's compared to the billion's of waste this crew spend's abroad and on other thing's.
This is all a scam simply to make every government service they can fail, so that it has to be privatized and taken over by mega investment interest's, which will mostly come from money from China believe it or not. Because frankly I give it say ... 5 to 6 year's top's, and China will be the economic head of the world, I'll bet my paycheck on it. So giving any of these icon's any more break's, incentive's, bailout's, or what have you is a waste of time and money, your pissing in the wind and basically squandering money, were better off giving to the Chinese government than them for that matter ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh :) And all their also doing is trying to fuck the Chinese as well as India too, but those countries especially China wont react in such a pleasant way to their scam's when they make the "bite", rest assured.
And you damn sure dont want to give them your goddamn SSI holding's to use too ... they will tell you the return will be bigger ... bullshit, with all the fine print/ fine's/ fee's, etc ... not even mentioning the bubble/ bust type market action's which will have you losing up to possibly half your retirement every damn time some country in the bloody middle east or elsewhere's in them region's get's terrorized/ sabotaged, and Wall St and the new mega Asian market's get paranoid, start speculating, jacking trading practice's, etc ... your lucky to end up with a pot to piss in, and you'll STILL have to pay investment management fee's regardless how much you lose, wont get bailed out by no one, and will only get to invest in a list of firm's that are hand selected for you like a goddamn 401K basically ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh :) it's no different than buying a lemmon car, and paying for an outrageously priced (and financing it all on top of it through "their agency" heh, heh, heh, heh, heh :) bumper to bumper warranty with more stipulation's/ fine print, than you can shake a stick at, and useless as that too :) Why are they relentlessly milking us? because as I wrote in earlier posting's ... their fixin to abandon us, they dont care about our future and longevity and financial progress of a country with only 300 million as much as they used to, when they got a new market arena bustling with cheap labour, open gate's, loose regulation's, no taxes with just two of those countries (China and India) with population's well over a billion ... what's their incentive to think anything about us? ... it's called "Take the Money and Run", heh, heh, heh, heh, heh :)
By the way ... do you know why social security fund's are so tight? ... because as we put money in from every paycheck through the front door in payroll deduction's, special interest's have their hand's in the back door so called "borrowing" it, for miscellaneous pet project's usually abroad, or other interest's beside's what it's for ... similar to what Texas does with Lottery money proceed's that are put into education, yet as soon as $10 million or so go through the front door, that "special" hand is in the back door borrowing it, so the school's are lacking fund's, they cut teacher's, yet the state's wealth is enormous ... wassup? heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... just like our government's wealth is enormous when it come's to spending what "they/ special interest's" want, if we were that bloody broke, we wouldnt be the strongest economy in the world or even 4th or 5th for that matter ... heh, heh, heh, heh, heh :) The oil game and all the other crap ... same ole same, and they wont do nothing about that either, except run their jaw's at election time, the same way they been doing for the last several decade's, it's "out" of politic's hand's, and "privatized", heh, heh, heh, heh, heh ... they cant do nothing about the price's without drastic law change's and legislation, none of them, it isnt even no longer a domestic issue. My point here is the same will be for SSI, Medi- whatever, libraries, emergency service's, education, whatever ... once you "privatize" it ... it simply become's nothing more than like chip's you play with on the BlackJack table's of the Vegas strip :) Maddow and Sanders below are right on the money, listen and learn, and you wont be dissapointed later and save yourself a tad of misery.
"HOW TO PRIVATIZE AMERICA" PART'S 4 THRU 1
1) MADDOW: "Bush to Present: How the GOP has been playing name game's with Social Security Privatization (16 April 2011) Thanx POLITICALARTICLES
2) MADDOW/ SANDERS: "It is clear the Republican's want to destroy Social Security" ... after 9 minute's into this video is the part where Sen. Sanders make's his point, which is entirely accurate (27 April 2011) ... Thanx MOXNEWSDOTCOM ... also I have to give this Guy Sanders alot of credit, considering how long he's been in Washington and being 70 year's old, this Guy is sharp, and so in tune with reality of America, it's rare amongst popular political figure's, I reckon that's why he's "independent", being so sick and tired of the old school thought, certainly a man with vision.
NOTICE: I had to replace the Maddow/ Sanders interview, because MoxNews account on YouTube been terminated, I tried to find it elsewhere, even on MSNBC but couldnt seem to find it ... so I replaced it with the video below which get's to the point as well.
Will you help Senator Sanders expose the Koch Echo Chamber ... Thanx to BRAVENEWFOUNDATION
