Good hunting H.
Again we question the legitimacy to current policy.
Aid to victims since unconditional obligations exist.
Put the spoke in the very wheel itself must be conveyed when the state ceases to be the state.

Yes, that would be fun. If any other Boston area people want to join
us, perhaps we can make it into an event.

He just crawled out of the woodwork again. Smartest and most accurate guy I have ever read, though he keeps a very low profile now. He was bullish for about a year except for the hiccup last May. The record is all there. Google for it. I don't post his link because I appreciate the info and the fact that he wants to stay under the radar.

The giant sucking sound.

This country is finished, guys. It's all over except for the shouting and the collapse into the dark age. I could quote Playfair again, but I won't.

In a blockbuster one-hour investigative special that aired on Fox News' "Hannity" on Friday, Peter Schweizer, Steve Bannon, and Sean Hannity exposed how Washington, D.C. has extracted power and money from the United States into a centralized location to become the country's greatest "boomtown," despite not creating anything. Schweizer, the president of the nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute, highlighted how the permanent political class that relies on lobbying and influence peddling makes more money by "growing the size of government," which leaves no incentive on either side of the aisle to limit government. As a result, he noted the three richest counties and seven of the top ten wealthiest counties in the nation are in the Washington, D.C. region. The District also consumes the most fine wine in the nation. He asserted the business in Washington is now "not politics" but "money."

Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News, said the best and the brightest now come to Washington because they see Washington as a Tammany Hall that will allow them to get rich off of influence peddling. He noted that Washington D.C. runs the equivalent of a $4 trillion private equity fund every year and essentially doles out 25% of the country's wealth to those who are connected.

Yes I must agree. Four so called police shot to death a unarmed guy in a lobby on the west side. Theft of property from usury from the working poor locally
and in metro another 10 percent pay cut for city workings for many reasons this message cannot cover as they are in shelters. Like I conveyed it
will have to get so bad both sides forget politics as noted. As I conveyed to the wife they cannot see how thin the ice actually is.
These cheerful and useful will only understand when it's them, for some it is now a fact. Truly they have voted what they deserve.
As they said many decades ago, smoke the chamber. They did not care to listen, now they drag the truly innocent with them.

We're getting into the end game. This is stuff that is way outside the bounds of modern historical precedent. 25 cents of every earned dollar being pissed away on hookers, fine wines and Lamborghinis is not anywhere in the books since the world crawled out of the Dark Ages and Columbus sailed. I think some of the important things right in front of us are the upward pressure we're seeing on interest rates, the inability of tech to continue its growth probably due to the Giant Sucking Sound, and the pressure that is being put on Asia. Clearly, Washington will do nothing to stop the orgy, so it's a question of what gives first. It's likely Vince will finally be correct and it will be interest rates that pop their cork first. I think that's what the stock market is telling us, and the best performing stock in the Dow Friday was Procter and Gamble. Short term, people may view a stock like that as being safer than a US government bond. If that's the case, the cork can pop quickly. There could be a final eye popping panic into the stock market if the Fed stands back with their thumb up their ass, as they probably will, thinking it's a sign of a real recovery.

This is interesting. It would be amazing to watch the herd buy into this idea, and I think they will.

1963 Communist Goals
Because you’re now left with unproductive, state sponsored welfare recipients that don’t produce anything that you can’t steal from them but they keep you in office. You need the hard working ox middle class to suck the blood from. When the ox makes a run for it, well, you have to find ways to stop that from happening. 11 million reasons to secure new debt serfs since the other ones get up at noon and eat fruit loops on the remaining few who do work.

[Reality Check]

Obama cuts 20,000 Marines from the Military. Army cuts to follow soon.

These cuts are in addition to, and over and above, any cuts that may occur as a result of the sequester, which was only delayed until February 28th by the Fiscal Cliff deal.
