JUST HOW FAR ARE WE WILLING TO GO?
I SAY, LETS JUMP OFF THE CLIFF!
I know, I remember what our Mothers told us about, If your idiot friend jumped off the Cliff, would you follow? As it turned out she was mostly right, but not always, not NOW, not this time.. I'm suggesting that our Mothers are sometimes just flat out wrong.. Most women, Not your Mother of course, but at least 56% of women elected Obama, twice, so they aren't always right..
This is the real truth telling moment in our Nation's present and future.. We were handed our collective ASS in this debacle of an election.. The Liberals put it all on the line to get this man back into the White House to finish what he started, and what the Liberals/Communists started almost a century ago..
THE REAL PROBLEM!
We are weakened because we didn't stop the thief of this process when we allowed all of those cute sounding seemingly innocuous rule changing election laws, Motor Voter, Absentee Voting, Early Voting, and Extending Hours..
We spread out the security protection and limited the oversight of the one thing that insures that this great nation is a Nation of Laws, dictated by WE The People, and placed the Elected Representative form of governance in the hands of corruptible politicians and influential unelected bureaucrats..
We lost because we follow the laws, and they don't..
We are at the mercy of the will of the people.. We believe that TRUTH will out.. That our ideas are sound and that most people will recognize what will hurt them, and that they will stop policies that are wrong will become obvious, and that those expounding wrongheaded laws will be shunned in the next election..
That dog no longer hunts.. Much of what is wrong with this country is it's people! I could spend the next ten days giving examples of why the people do what they do, but you are as aware of those problems as I am.. Education, Immigration, Entitlements, yada, yada, yada..
THE SOLUTION IS HERE NOW!
I am a problem solver, not a brainiac, or a prognosticator, or even smart.. I live in a real world, and started businesses that succeeded, lots of them.. When I decided years ago, whether I should go to college, I checked my reality, and recognized that I was poor, so I started out as an Entrepreneur..
I like most of you look at life and respond with the cards that we are dealt.. First lesson is that when you see that something being done is wrong, STOP IT! When someone is Bleeding, STOP THE BLEEDING, Fast..
Almost all of our problems in this country is from spending.. We allowed the spending to get way out of control, and we put into law, spending that has become so endemic that we are at a lose to stop it.. NOT TRUE!
If we STOP THE MONEY, it all has to stop, right? That too is NOT TRUE! We have all learned to borrow, and most of us also learned that it can, and often gets out of control..
THE FISCAL CLIFF IS THE TOURNIQUET OF GOVERNMENT!
All of the elements of what is wrong with the Government is coming together at the same time.. YES, THAT IS TRUE! It stops the flow of money at once.. It also stops the borrowing if the congress has not given it the authority to raise the DEBT LIMIT! BINGO, everything has to change if that happens.. Government has to trim, drastically reduce spending, eliminate programs, or SHUT DOWN!
We all agree that the politicians, Forget about US, will not allow their jobs to stop paying THEM! But we also know that few if any will put their own career on the line for something so noble as saving our Country.. But we just learned a lesson, that we will never win another election now that the Liberals have all of the strings in place to steal every election in the future..
We do not have any other power but to stop something from happening, not move any legislation that will encumber the left from their power.. If we can convince our fat cat politicians that in 2 short years that we will kick their asses out of the cushy seats they might, just might, decide to take the gamble and SHUT IT DOWN, if only to save their own butt..
What if they shut it all down, it's a stretch, but what if? The Markets will tank, for a shot time only.. Banks will threaten to shut down under the RUN ON THE BANK theory.. Hundreds of thousands of government employees are going to start getting pink slips, and foreign markets begin to crumble their own weight, without us to prop them up.. Your own paychecks may be in jeopardy..
HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO RISK..?????
my neighbors are 21 mexicans living in a 2 br house.....nuff said
The house of cards is going to crash down sooner or later - might as well be Now.
Iceland jumped off the cliff, and now they are well on the way to recovery.
We need to pull the damned bandage off....
If we had a real currency we would be able to “Go Galt” but because so much economics these days is “in the abstract” nothing short of a total catostrophic failure of the welfare state will get ANYONE’s attention...
[ I personally think that “We, the People” don’t have to do anything right now, except wait.
The Obama Crime Syndicate is planning to turn over (what little remains of) U.S. sovereignty to the UN. Soon, treaties will be signed which will curtail gun ownership rights for U.S. citizens, regulate the Internet and control oil and mineral rights in the world’s oceans i.e., the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST).
Add to that the plan to continue to expand the welfare state by taxing the productive class at ever higher rates, in order to pay for “more free stuff” that the parasitic class will demand.
And Obamacare will ruin the once finest medical treatment system the world has known.
The system will crash all on its own, but not the way the left wants it to.
So the irony ]
The problem is the left is the party of incrementalism, any crash that happens by them is going to be slow to the popint that by the time it really does collapse all the people who have known freedome will have been long dead and voted democrat for several elections....
Take it down. I don’t care. Whatever comes will be better than legalized slavery.
Sit back and let the Country go off the cliff and hang this economy and disaster around the liberal socialist necks!
Sometimes Americans have to actually live thought coming disaster in order to understand it. My Grandfather once told me: “you have to feel the cold in order to appreciate the warmth!”
Time to call our sons daughters and their cousins to come live near the home place - a network of family.
We’re already over the cliff.
I say let all the tax cuts expire. I say this because most libs don’t even know that all taxpayers rec’d a cut, not just the rich. Also because it’s the only “fair” thing to do. Our military defends everyone, not just the rich. The rich don’t use any other services that the gov’t is supposed to supply anymore than anyone else.
Liberals are hearing cries for mercy and the lamination of our conservative women..
Must make them feel very victorious..
I say slowly but surely gather evidence of the BIGGEST election theft in american history..
They have been doing this for decades but pull out all the stops this time.. with the MSM hiding it..
Am I saying DO THINGS ILLEGAL to get this information.. ABSOLUTELY..
I don’t think we should hold the House back, instead it should keep submitting bills that uphold the job they have taken, and keep screaming that it’s the Senate that won’t bring anything up for a vote, etc.
And because so many “hate the Bush tax cuts” and have never even bothered to learn how fortunate they were when that went in, I say we let it got and let everyone fall into the world of the AMT. Maybe then, and only then, will they see Bush, and taxes, in a different light! I say let’s do it!

Carlo, first I want to know how to get my money OUT. I believe like you do but I am not as courageous as the founding fathers. I want my children to inherit a little head start if possible. I do have another passport but I don’t want to go down with the ship. I know, I know, my head keeps slipping under the water with us all now...
Tell the GOP to vote NO on raising the DEBT LIMIT.. viola.. BOOM!
How many times have we screamed No Raising the Debt Limit. Our gop does the song and dance “no way” “never gonna raise it” “not gonna happen”....but they always turn around and raise it and get nothing in return. It will be raised after Boehner’s song and dance. Happens every time.
“They bought their tickets....they knew what they were getting into....I say, ‘Let ‘em crash!’”
Made me laugh. Who knew that guy was right?
I understand. Get a friend from another town to kill your neighbor and you can go kill his.
There’s no limit to the damage that can be inflicted on this country that can’t be spun, ignored or blamed on Bush. Why should Obama care? More crises equal more opportunities for dictatorial rule. He can’t lose.
