Clueless at the Federal Reserve

21 Jun

The Federal Reserve has painted itself in a box.  Raising interest rates would destabilize the economy.  Keeping rates well below “normal”  creates more distortions in the economy.  What should be done?  Ending the Fed would be a good place to start so the money manipulators in DC could no longer create inflation and booms and busts.  Also, making the dollar as gold should be the goal of the federal government.

 

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Tuesday that the U.S. economy faces a number of uncertainties that require the Fed to proceed cautiously in raising interest rates.

Low balling the costs of government programs is “normal”

21 Jun

Government officials have lied thorough their teeth about the income tax (rates would not go up, Ha), Federal Reserve (the dollar’s purchasing power would be stabilized),  Social Security (rates would never go up, income subject tot the tax would never up), Medicare (future costs would be reasonable, doctors would be fairly compensated) and Medicaid (costs would be reasonable, doctors would be paid fairly) over the past 100 years to get their big government legislation passed.  If you believe government officials about the future costs about any new tax or social program, I have a bridge to sell you.

5 reasons so many Britons favor Brexit and want to dump the EU

20 Jun

It’s not rocket science.  The public do not want faceless bureaucrats controlling them. Let’s see how Brits vote on Thursday.  

 

Just as Americans wouldn’t want U.S. tax, immigration, and regulatory policy to be controlled by an imaginary American Union office based in Buenos Aires, many British don’t like their country being controlled by European Union bureaucrats in Brussels.

Border control is common sense

20 Jun

As I predicted when I ran for the US Senate two years ago. Without evaluating incoming immigrants, the health of the American people could be in serious jeopardy.

Socialism does not work, so why do we have government schools?

20 Jun

If you believe government should provide education to all youngsters, then you have lost the argument against the proponents of socialism. If you support taxpayer-funded education, why then shouldn’t the government provide health care, transportation, housing, energy, banking, food, etc.? In fact, government has been heavily involved in virtually every aspect of our economy and our lives. In short, America is already heavily “socialized.”

Markets soaring as polls show Brexit vote will be defeated

20 Jun

A friend writes about today’s soaring markets in Asia and Europe:

I think today’s market action confirms that it was a planned murder of that MP by the EU bureaucrats. Weaponize a mentally deficient assassin, use the media to sway

public opinion, then goose up the markets to bribe the populous — result: Brits lose their sovereignty to a bunch of non-elected bureaucratic pedophiles bent on war with Russia.

The only winners out of all this will be the defense industry and the bankers that finance them. If there is still a world left afterward ….. then the construction industry will surge, and the banks again

will finance them. Losers will be innocent young people who fought for a false cause, or unfortunately became  collateral damage being trapped in a war zone. The economy will be great though.

The prosthetics industry will be booming and we’ll have low unemployment……. problems solved.

If Bremain and Hillary succeed, I think war is on the near horizon.

I’m feeling sick ….

If you want an even more aggressive foreign policy, you have your candidate

20 Jun

A Hillary Clinton presidency risks World War III.  Do her supporters understand that she is a 100% warmonger? 

A foreign army consisting of 31,000 soldiers from an anti-American alliance are conducting military “exercises” a few miles from San Diego. Hundreds of tanks converge on the Rio Grande, while jets from 24 countries converge in attack formation, darting through Mexican skies. It isn’t hard to imagine Washington’s response. Yet that’s precisely what has been […]

Almost immediately after the latest mass shooting incident in Orlando, Fla. last Sunday, the typical hue and cry regarding weapons bans has again crept out from the White House and state lawmakers.
