The summer bombing season of picturesque northern tourist cities seems to have begun with Norway's government center taking at least seven fatalities with many others injured in Oslo's government district. A gunman also shot some bullets at a youth camp outside Oslo in what seems to be a related incident.

President Obama's coming out plan for the Pentagon was given expedited scheduling and it now is at day 59 and counting down before full implementation of openly homosexual military service. Some Americans did not realize that the term 'gay' does not include lesbians. Yet the female branch of military service will evidently be open for lesbian officers now. One hopes that those gay warriors do not become grim warriors in the wars ahead...(if peace and a prosperous, balanced ecologically renewable national economy with full employment cannot be brought into being by a competent congress {only joking about a competent congress-no vhance of that}).

Zero-Point Energy and 'The Book of Nothing'
The vacuum of space is actually a lively place in quantum cosmology. Within the scientific paradigm of quantum uncertainty something like an infinite ocean of quantum particles in all possible configurations exists-so long as they are not observed. I guess that is something like a polarizing filter from which only some particle-waves emerge to appear in solid state configurations.
The mass and energy of the Universe are comparable to an overnight coating of ice on the surface of a lake that breaks up during the stress of the day's sun and winds and gathers into larger ice islands with open water in between.
Galaxies gathered in gravity from an earlier high temperature, unified scalar field expansion yield a cascade of individuated fundamental particles, drift out in the expanding space-time ocean with the lambda's force's slow build of subtle quantum agitation.
That quantum mechanical filter of uncertainty seems like a good way for God to create a Universe without making it possible for anyone to directly trace its causality. One must rely on the sentient word of God rather than just simple cosmological archaeology for data about the first cause preceding temporal causes and causality issuing Universes from the sea of quantum indeterminacy.
Even the acceleration of the Universe may be a phase of the vacuum's movement toward a lowest energy state. Below that lowest energy minimum is the uncertainty realm of vacuum energy and lambda stress.
These are a few more notes from J.D. Barrow's 'The Book of Nothing' before I finish reading it. Not being a physicist it’s helpful to make a few notes as a mnemonic device for future recall of its content.
Published in 2000 'The Book of Nothing' still seems an excellent primer on nothingness, vacuum energy, chaotic inflationary universes and the way quantum mechanical structures inflate to order the mass and energy of the universe.
Even so the epiphenomenal appearance of anything from a hypothetical realm of quantum uncertainty issuing everything else is an interesting place to leave off the study of transformation of negative and positive virtual energy through a balanced cycle of being and nothingness-when nothing else might be known about what's what except perhaps philosophically, theologically or mystical insight.
It is good that refinements of the physical investigation of how the Universes and universes are strung together theoretically may consider and compare the minimum vacuum energy state of existential model universes and/or inflationary regions with the mass and energy content of the Universe human beings live in. The vacuum of space-time itself is apparently a charged region that moves from a high energy original condition toward it minimum energy condition. Expanding space-time may be the essential way it spends that energy increasing its size to achieve the lowest, and balanced energy state. It may oscillate at the low end of the cycle like a metaphorically pendulum before settling down to the minima. At that minimum it is uncertain what would occur although theories abound-for the vacuum energy resting upon uncertainty and the space-time minimum energy regime of the universe was just one inflated continuum from the more basic realm of uncertainty that lets universes arise.

New World Order Oligarchs Hold U.S. Economy Hostage To Prevent Tax Increase
In the New World economy House Republicans seem to want to cut taxes on Corporations so they can invest in China. With cinched profits investing in Chinese business, Wall Street can just phase out the interests of U.S. workers and the middle class. Democratic safety nets can be gutted, on the job training in new factories requiring corporate investment avoided and the environment of America sold for pulp and ore profits of foreign governments.
As in the ante-bellum economy a large cheap workforce overseas lets America’s corporate oligarchs enrich themselves as a class. Of course the exploitation process isn’t so efficient today as in 1850; the Chinese are taking the majority of the profit. The oligarchs share the wealth of Chinese power and share the exploitation with the majority of Americans.
Since Wall Street Republicans have converted the U.S. economy into a slum(p) they have allowed unemployment to rise nearly to 10% in the U.S.A. They dumped a load of national debt in the Bush II years and perfected policies to plunder the U.S. regulation of economic honesty in addition to cutting taxes to a going out of business in the U.S.A. level with visions of sugar plums in their oligarchic, greedy minds. When the U.S. economy becomes really second rate then the military allegiance will be directed toward reinforcing the new economic center of effort in China and India; Kentucky’s Ft. Knox may have Red Guards at the gate to protect its assets.

Natural Gas Pipeline from Alaska to Anchorage or Canada?
Alaska has experienced the growth of ideas for distributing public energy resources about the state and a few on sending gas to the Canadian pipeline system with a connection from the North Slope. Seven billion dollars was the price mentioned recently to construct a pipeline from the North slope via Fairbanks to Anchorage for a 24" natural gas line. A pipeline through Canada might cost 30 or 40 billion, and the environment more, yet it would let additional Canadian fields tie in and supply gas to the 48 states when or if the U.S. is thoroughly dependent on it.
Whenever I write on these topics its a good idea to make a sort of disclaimer on the general manner in which politicians and business develop energy resources in Alaska. Because there is so much and pervasive habitat loss, and extermination of species biodiversity along with the decline of health of the ecosphere as a result of the traditional way of advancing cultural economy and energy production I support a different way-one that does not exist and probably won't. I prefer that human culture use its best ideas to adapt to the new empirical facts of life rather than inertially continue the way it always has. Yet it is those terms that one must work to comment on real economic inertia of the era.
A vast global mining corporation is hammering away to develop copper claims in the headwaters rivers drainage to Alaska's and America's Bristol Bay and home of the nation's healthiest salmon habitat. Other miners force through upstream Canadian mines on rivers flowing into S.E. Alaskan waters. Mines tend to affect water drainage and leach toxic levels of metals creating future Superfund clean up sites lasting for generations or thousands of years. Yet if no life on Earth remains because of catastrophic ecospheric damage from other human activities it won't make a difference.
On Wasilla's KGB (Knik-Goose Bay) Road (this may be the street where the former KGB headquarters could be found leading some to say that you can see Russia from Wasilla) that leads to the Knik settlement developments continue with coal strip mining operations not too distant planned. Oil wells and roads all over the state allow increased access to destroy wildlife and ecosphere health fragmenting ecosystem and depleting fisheries health. The Yukon and Kuskokwim river's salmon crashes, and those of the Susitna River create the impression of another Washington State in progress with the military bases and toxic waste besides.
Most U.S. Presidential candidates don't know where the United States is located. In the early years of the U.S.A. presidents invested in the U.S.A. and built it up with activism. They also stayed out of protracted foreign wars. They sought to enrich the United States. They did not deregulate investment banking and corporations such that the nation's wealth would be relocated abroad like the Red Army relocating factory equipment from Germany to Russia in 1946. Today's U.S. Presidents don't know where America is at even if they land Air Force One here occasionally. The rich will get globally richer and the middle class and poor, poorer.
Alaska Governor Parnell has a plan to build a hydro-electric dam on the undammed Susitna River that drains the Alaska Range. I am unenthusiastic about that growing up in the Pacific Northwest along the Columbia River.
Washington State once had a Governor-Dan 'Strait Arrow' Evans, named as the medal of honor naval destroyer squadron commander who effectively attacked a Japanese battle cruiser in the Pacific in an epic naval engagement. Capt. Evan's body was never recovered, yet the spirit of national defense and of keeping the integrity of the states and its land and sea ecosystems health remains a goal of many Americans-except possibly in some states where globalists and anti-conservationists find it better to pimp natural resources for the most profit today.
Governor Evan's environmental policy was of the day-uniformed. Hydro-electric plants were built, and nuclear power plants constructed in excess of later need. Today we should know better and take a far more nuanced approach to building design, insulation and disciplined conservation and increase of natural resources with the eye to the future set upon low cost, high temperature superconductors.
There are alternate ways to deliver natural gas to Fairbanks and Anchorage for 7 billion. Building a rail line from Fairbanks to the North Slope for 7 billion dollars probably isn't one of them.
One might build a gas liquification plant on the North Slope as ecologically as possible and connect in some way to the Alaska Railroad at Fairbanks and send pressurized gas rail cars to Anchorage.
It would also be possible to build two or three large gas carrying icebreakers to deliver gas most of the year to Anchorage via water...ships don't cost seven billion dollars.
Obviously ice thickness experts would know how much of the year it would be practical to ship gas via Bering Strait to Anchorage. There are other issues involved such as noise from the ships introduced to the environment out of context and season. Some day quiet electric hydrodynamic engine ships that are quiet should replace the prop and diesel driven vessels.
It might be good to use Alaska's geothermal power and some private businesses are looking into that. The state might also create a geothermal resources department to support and stimulate use of that resource in an environmentally smallest practical impact way to produce electricity. Alaska is a state with a lot of geothermal potential.

Counter-Revolutionary Tax Cut Continua in Congress
The founders' revolution was against concentrated wealth's colonializing control. A Uhlerian supply excess profits for the rich side counter-revolution by wealthy globalists of a new world order cutting taxes for the rich, bolixing the environment and standard of living hopes for the democratic poor and middle class has accelerated in the two decades following the end of the cold war.
Dead reckoning of the day for raising taxes on the rich to a reasonable level informs us that a Romney administration and a Democratic House and Senate might be the best when prospects coincide to create a combined economic defense against national debt and tax policies tilted to favor the rich.
Taxation for an intelligent democratic society is a variable rather than a constant. Taxation on the rich and on other classes are set to keep full employment, national infrastructure, public health, environment and economy optimally performing. Until the era of voodoo economics after 1981 that was the national political policy of the U.S.A.
The Blitzkrieg of globalist outsourcing, tax cutting and illegal alien shock-troop worker immigration has left America's heartland bereft of high paying secure jobs for the poor and middle class seeking to own their own property, grow their own orchard and have a few cows and goats to barbecue with Fresnel lenses, solar power and soy-peach sweet and sour sauce much less own a quarter million dollar home and fat retirement investments.
During the cold war an oligarchy inclined rich needed the poor and middle class on their side against communist totalitarianism. With communism prevalently defeated the rich have turned their power of economic war upon the nation's poor and middle classes through a broad front of cultural devices.
Non-intellectuals existentialist consumer members of The Church of Lowest Mile Per Gallon Suvs
-perhaps 20% of the nation- will always be camp followers of the rich heedless of the political depletion of democracy around them.
Many politicians haven't good economic history sense and inflate wrong ideas.
This is the new age of irrational political economic management. Adam Smith's invisible hand has been upgraded into a no-brain theory of democratic economic supervision. Combined with anachronistic economic ideas grown in the ante-vellum and southern reconstructionist past, it adds up to an extremely weak no-brainer U.S. governance of 50 states.
South Carolina's Tea Party brewing Senator may be influenced by the state's economic history of slavery. Today's Americans who aren't rich are today's n-word workers regarded as wheedling benefits from the Mansion owning rich trying who alone have received the inspired word of globalism and The New World Order.
The ante-bellum way of Tea Party economic thinking is an economic paradigm in favor of defense spending in Charleston to send planeloads of junk to Iraq and Afghanistan cause the military be good defendin the rich. The inspired word of corporatism may distributed through defense sub-contractors from Tibet and Mongolia.
If taxes can be cut so the slaves/former slaves (they are of all races today) have to get off they buts and work for the wages the rich are charitably willing to pay (10 cents an hour without health benefits or breaks?) the budget can be balanced.
Luckily Sen. McCain brought then Alaska Governor Sarah Palin into the mess of oddball alternative Republican politics to help form the Tea Party and bring illuminating, deep economic and social reasoning into the economic management team. With Senator Jimmy DeMint (he bring da monies and issues da coins to the po folk spare), Rep. Bachman and a Godfather's Pizza CEO the Tea Party has a fine counter-revolutionary intelligentsia searching for ways to cut taxes, part out the environment enrich the rich.
The Earth is disposable income for the elect because Jesus Getty will make a new Earth for the rich after the final tax cut and beatification of the first oil wells. In the Church of the Biggest SUV Jesus Getty said 'Spend the environment like there is no tomorrow for sufficient unto the earnings report is the balance sheet thereof.'
South Carolina has innumerable good people living in it. It has the best natural ecosystem for human dwelling year round located in the U.S.A. South Carolina before 1860 was a slave agriculture based economy very slow to recover after the civil war. Obviously they had no political candidates during reconstruction claiming to have dabbled in witchcraft, yet neither were they quick about renouncing and reforming the cultural dichotomy that made oligarchy an inertially reinforced social phenomena. Today that tradition blast intelligent U.S. economic reform and undermines democracy in the U.S.A. It is a globalist disdain for what should be a nativist economic infrastructure growing with an optimization of science, environment, social and spiritual values.
I should mention why slavery in the modern era was so vicious to the human spirit...slaves were bred-human beings were bred and owned as property. That is existentially of the set of ultimate evil. Reducing human life to a status of meaningless practico-inert bio-mass tools is Satanic.
In the primitive era slaves were taken in war as a compassionate conservative alternative to killing captives. In savage unlimited war there can be no repatriations of prisoners of war. In the modern era of slavery war was not the reason for slavery-economic desire by the most powerful business and government predators was the motivating cause for the social institution of dehumanizing human life.
With so many free trade pacts abroad Business has little reason to manufacture in the U.S.A. It is far cheaper to invest abroad and ship to American consumers now.
With so much cheap illegal migrant labor available their is little reason for anyone in the south to pay more than 2 dollars an hour for labor in millions of situations.
With so much advanced communications technology one may scan data objects for specs and make a cell phone sending the specs to China and have the new product made and Fedex'd that day back to the U.S.A. to a customer. The same situation exists with custom made sump pumps and a zillion other products that formerly were made in America. It is cheapest to get data for custom products in America, send it abroad to a very cheap production facility and ship the collective product orders to the U.S.A. on same day air.
The farm and ranch sector is increasingly owned by global farms as well. Jobs that cannot be outsourced are given to cheap illegal alien workers. The U.S. Government has failed to direct corrective economic measures that would defend democracy in America with the tools of capitalism and free enterprise intended to enrich the populous rather than to concentrate wealth or sedulously outsource political and economic sovereignty.
What is a mystery is why President Obama did back flips for extending tax cuts for the rich in December 2010? The present budget negotiations should not even be taking place.
Increasingly the interest in creative jobs in the United States is nipped in the bud by pragmatic economic concerns. If an inventor starts manufacturing a new product it will soon be cloned in a foreign factory or the new business going public will be leveraged and bought out or a hostile takeover will cut its workforce and relocate to Shanghai or Mumbai, Buenos Aires or Vietnam. The ignorance of the decline of the United State's economic prospects for those that are not rich is acceptable to the new class of globalist drones with visions of a non-human version of capitalist political philosophy in their heads safe for aristocratic rule over an acquiescent android population.

The Back Up Plan For Afghanistan
The war to conform Afghanistan to a new world order that is more Babylon the Great friendly and less blow up thy neighbor inclined was necessary from some points of view because of Osama Bin Laden's Al Qa'eda attacks on September 11, 2001 in the United States; Os Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were based in Afghanistan though all were immigrants if they even crossed the Afghan border, so the logic went that because the Taliban would not give up Al Qa'eda we needed to support the Northern Alliance to defeat it with military support. We would then transform Afghanistan into a nice place before we left and it returned to the usual ignorance, drug growing, violence and terrorist conspiracy nurturing.
So the financially maladroit policy may be wound down. Americans could decide to defend their borders to keep the next horde of suicide mufsidoon out. the nation may try to spend its next 4 trillion war bucks in ways that make the U.S.A. prosper.
One could change select nouns as variables in this paragraph and apply it to Afghanistan... The brilliant plan to Vietnamise the war depends for success on how well the ARVN will perform against the insurgency when U.S. Marines return to the sea. American and alliance forces broke the back of the resistance during the TET offensive.
The new war and exit plan (Afghanistan)is entirely original and sure to work.
In case it doesn't a plan B should be dropped into the picture. If we are smart we will help the former Northern Alliance and others needing refuge from adverse Taliban-friendly forces carve out a Switzerland for mid-Asian Moslems of Afghanistan so they can remain free at an affordable long range cost for Americans.
The majority of post-American Afghanistan will be able to view the liberty and prosperity of Northern Afghanistan and compare it to their own probably Taliban led government without corporations beneficially mentoring society.
The United States will be able to send persuaders to visit terrorist bases if needed. Maybe 20 or 30 thousand U.S. forces in N. Afghanistan by 2014 would be sufficient to provide security.
There are several reasons why a Swiss model defensible, neutral and free N. Afghanistan would be a good idea politically to stabilize the region. Maybe they can become a regional wind and solar power energy exporter.
Well-its one spare backup plan.

The majority of post-American Afghanistan will be able to view the liberty and prosperity of Northern Afghanistan and compare it to their own probably Taliban led government without corporations beneficially mentoring society.
The United States will be able to send persuaders to visit terrorist bases if needed. Maybe 20 or 30 thousand U.S. forces in N. Afghanistan by 2014 would be sufficient to provide security.
There are several reasons why a Swiss model defensible, neutral and free N. Afghanistan would be a good idea politically to stabilize the region. Maybe they can become a regional wind and solar power energy exporter.
Well-its one spare backup plan.
A Note on Einstein's Lambda Force
J.D. Barrow explains in his 'The Book of Nothing' some facts and history of Einstein's development of the Lambda force in the context of developing the general theory of relativity (on page 180). He had already explained that {geometry} = {distribution of mass and energy} in the universe as regards the shape of space as a fundamentally theory before upgrades. Because Einstein wanted to make his theory fit nicely with Newton's gravitational theory he tested it with Newton's values and found that with Newton's inverse square law plugged in his simple universal model couldn't form an unchanging universe. So he invented a new force with an effect opposite to Gravity that he named Lambda to balance out the values of the equation so the universe could have a steady state (he didn't know the Universe is expanding).
Barrow writes that the Lambda force was postulated to increase with distance. I haven't read that anyplace else as simple said and find it remarkable. I had thought that the force increased with time accelerating the expansion of the Universe because of the reduction of the masking effect of gravity when mass was more broadly distributed in smaller bits of mass.
What kind of force increases with distance and why? What logic might be found in that?
The best thing I can think of immediately is that Lambda and gravity together comprise a field like that of the two poles of magnetism. The force might exist in extra dimensions.
Another possibility is that space time is displaced by gravitational contraction of mass in some way and accelerates space in other directions in compensation. Lambda however is generally regarded by physicists as some kind of force that is yet undetected. It would be a nice power particle-wave for space ships I would think, given enough time. Yet what direction or dimensions space-time(if really unified) is apt to travel in when accelerated by Lambda is hard to say I'd guess. Maybe it accelerates the expansion of smaller dimensions as well?
Another note I want to make on Barrow's book is the description of the man who first predicted the Universe is expanding based on his own mathematical interpretation of Einstein's General Theory. Alexander Friedmann made the theory and was credited before dying at age 35. Friedmann made a high altitude scientific balloon trip that damaged his health. That seems like a remarkable incident itself as it was at the edge of mankind's access to the horizon of being.

Power/Desalinization Potential of Mexico's Mt. Popocatepetl/Capital & Land Use Protocol
I have wondered occasionally if Mexico will develop the geothermal energy potential of the volcanicly active Mt. Popocatepetl as part of a trans-continental Pacific to Gulf of Mexico pipeline siphon fresh water making system.
Using saltwater to make steam and generate electricity with rightly located Mt. Popocatepetl's geothermal source would provide a lot of fresh water to condense for human drinking and agricultural use. The water removed from that incoming up from the Pacific would need to have some of the its lost flow power in the downhill compensated for with electrical energy made with the heat to help pump it uphill.
The heat energy input from volcanic vents to a generator facility perhaps through liquid sodium filled sealed pipes (just guessing) could add the energy needed to steam power generators, produce condensable water vapor, collect salt and replace the lost water volume on the downhill side of the flow needed to keep the water continue to flow uphill.
The Gulf of Mexico has a lower sea level in comparison to the Pacific-maybe because of the spin direction of the world the water piles up in Acapulco and environs. Perhaps 25% of the uphill flow reaching the top might be diverted for generating energy and water...only a guess/not a physicist. Having lived in around Washington State's Columbia Basin irrigation project years ago the idea of irrigation sources for greening select deserts natural arise now and then.
The relationship of money in relation to other currencies and to capital theory and political policy formation is rather interesting in some respects.
Intelligent land use for the benefit of society-perhaps within a utilitarian paradigm-is not a pursuit of the use of money of necessity.
In Quincy Washington-a little town at the heart of the Columbia Basin, Microsoft built a computer server facility changing the nature of the agricultural production dominated Quincy Valley potentially. If some day the valley's formerly worlds most productive farmland per acre after the desert was irrigated by Grand Coulee dam powered water delivery is overrun by subdivision constructed by illegal aliens-is that a good use of farmland and the Grand Coulee dam's energy and water?
Maybe a difficult to answer question, yet relying upon the valley of the dollar to determine the most effective land use for environmental or food production vs industrial or residential use won't work. The dollar's value is a completely dumb selector of land use values.
Farm land and intact ecosystems require political determination rather than monetary policy for intelligent management. It is amazing that the idea that abstract compilation of money and its distribution would in any way serve to provide rational land use policy instead of intelligent political and social design-as if money or capital were sentient-is taken seriously.
Isn't there a fundamental relationship in capital criteria regarding empirical values of real estate that works to bury farmland under industrial, urban and residential building, streets, parking lots and permanent, lifeless structures?
New housing per square acre tends to be of far more short term value than farmland. Developers buy and build on it. The farmer takes the balloon cash payment-his income otherwise for producing crops takes years or decades to produce as much cash eqv. The farmer also has more risk.
Once the farmland or ecosystem has been buried by construction it is nearly impossible to recover for farming without the renewal force of war I think, wherein the buildings are obliterated and a general mess remains.
Buying the buildings in order to remove them for farming would be cost prohibitive unless the world is basically starving and the value of food increases more than that of buildings.
High technology is also generally of very much higher capital value than real value to life, as it is also worth more per acre of use than farm produce.
I grew up in the era before small computers or cell phones existed-it was basically a better nation then. A world without computers would not be second in quality of life comparisons, yet with the world population explosion computers help keep people alive/with that offset by the capital value criteria determination of values leading to the burial of farmland.
Computers serve to advance health technology, yet the overall high-tech world is a less healthy world for biological life forms. Humanity in failing to allocate its land use and materials technology wisely is painting itself into an evolutionarily unhealthy and maybe catastrophic corner.
When technological progress advances to make prior technologies obsolete-as computer hardware will become obsolete along with fiber optic cables, the buildings still remain over the forgotten farmland, even as industrial and obsolete technology slums.
In the future quantum computing may be accomplished within the atmosphere itself with universal access for all individuals wirelessly. What the world will be like then-overpopulated, badly utilized with pervasive rotting slums and an exterminated ecosphere is hard to say.
If one relies upon accidental development through capitalism's invisible brain as Adam Smith might have described it if he were alive today and someone else not as concerned about supporting egalitarianism versus oligarchy, the world's farmlands may decrease until the scarcity of food makes the value of food worth recovering farmland. Unfortunately with the concentration of wealth and because the wealthy will be able to afford food while everyone else is starving, farmland may not be of much value to the people enough capital to afford the housing and remove it.
Interference and diffraction of land use rational planning and ecosphere integrity may develop fragmented, inefficient islands of food production enterprise dwindling amidst an inchoate temporal egression into farmlandic oblivion.

The Invisable No-Brainer Theory of Market Economy Governance Guiding Congressional Capitalism
The present U.S. federal budget troubles are a logical results of the morphing of the invisible hand into the invisible brain of capitalist management of democracy. Losing one's right hand to the secular economic cult demi-urge so the invisible hand and invisible brain of irrationality can replace it coincides with the advantages that deregulating investment banking, mortgages, trading and other financial instruments can bring to concentrate wealth and exploit millions of poor and middle class Americans.
Irrational no-brain economic management as the best way to manage the U.S. economy is the core of Tea Party ideologues and Wall Street Republicans as well as libertarian trans-party gay militants in government. Grim strait singles may find the future somewhat claustrophbic. The alien pods have produced their fruits. The new world order is looking for non-conformists.
Tea Party B league Republicans struggle pulling sled of tax cut politics for their rich global masters. President Obama jumped for joy in December 2010 extending tax cuts for the rich. The new irrational gucci shoed Boston anemic zeno laywers of trans-finite infinities have a happy face on it; starbucks with whip creme, blackberries, condo and stock portfolios.
The consequences of irrational democratic economic managment are not that difficult to predict. It is a recurrent classical form of political corruption that arises periodically in history.

Republican Plan B for Federal Debt Ceiling: Make President Obama The Designated Driver
Sen. McConnell's plan to vacate Congressional responsibility for federal budgeting letting President Obama set the federal debt limit himself is a little like the alcoholic turning over the keys to the carmageddon during Friday night bar hopping to the designated driver. Yet there may be a deeper, darker motive...
President Obama faces the prospect of personally signing off on more public debt to any world government in history by raising the debt limit himself a few trillion. Such an onerous task ought not be the burden of one blamable individual.The responsibility belongs to the Congress as set forth in the Constitution.
The Banana Republic drift of the Congress to perennial incompetence isn't a confidence building programme.
The range of the strong force equals the size of the largest atomic nucleus. Larger atoms and atomic elements cannot exist because of that limit. Quarks and their color inside protons are what the strong force color force act on. The relation of the Congress to the President on raising taxes and cutting spending is not dissimilar.
The range of congressional quarks to determine the size of the federal budget nucleus is mediated by gluons or I.Q. cogitation in representative minds. They may expect that a tighter budget cutting color force bonding will stabilize actualized economic elements, yet quantum protocols restrict the ability of nuclei of various sizes to exist without appropriate quantities of quarks. Neither can global economic super-positioning appear to pay off the strong force deficits by increasing spending of gluons with borrowed strings from extra dimensions.
If that seems complex or like fiction-well it is no less real than Congressional budgeting competence these days.
