Few Realists in Understanding Reganomics

President Ronald Reagan's economy benefited from mass deficit spending with concurrent tax cuts. That freed a lot of cash and loans for economic stimulus and it worked-the jobless rate dropped from the high of the last Carter year. Ronald Reagan of course advocated just tax cuts, yet that wasn't the economy he had. The vast military build up and Star Wars developments, the 500 ship navy were paid for with public debt. During the Reagan presidency the public debt of the U.S.A. reached about 5.3 trillion dollars if I recollect that accurately.

For the nearing 17 trillion dollar U.S. public debt to be reduced a federal budget surplus is requisite to pay the 3/4's trillion dollars of annual interest on the debt plus more to pay it down. That would require economic management competence rather than fantasy or delusion as both Republicans and Democrats prefer. Tax increases and budget cutting are needed. Yet more vital is budget reform where intelligent legislators (I am not joking) get more bang for the buck; they provide better services to the public at less cost.
The U.S. Government should not create many new federal programs that increase the number of government employees and while the private sector is not doing so well. U.S. manufacturing has decreased significantly during the Obama administration. Neither should a revitalization of the private sector fail to regard the environment and its conservation and restoration as priority number one. Politicians cannot afford to be ignorant children on the topic if a long-range eco-health is to have a chance of existing as science now understands it.

Most Guns Crimes are Consequent to Poverty, High Unemployment


Ending poverty in the U.S.A. is the best way to reduce gun crimes. Lasting poverty and ghetto strife as well as drug sales and consumerism create violence. Gentrified neighborhoods just don't have as much violence as those that are poor.
 The prosperous of course would rather repress the poor and take away their gun rights rather than increase taxes on themselves while cutting and reforming spending to create a full-employment nation where few have any interest in giving up the jacuzzi and gold course for inner urban strife and gang violence.
 The mass-media gangland is of a different sort than that of the poor. The prosperous do not have as much inter-personal violent crimes; instead they manage foreign wars where thousands and thousands of foreigners perish in dubious conflicts for complex reasons.

Most Americans Arrived Legally-Strengthen Border Security Not Illegal Entry


Creating a fast track for law-breakers is wrong. Illegal aliens ought not be given an advantage over those that arrived here legally as did most U.S. citizens and their ancestors including slave any more than should burglars be given an economic advantage and amnesty over those that have struggled legally through unemployment and poverty
 If laws are to mean anything they must be consistent and plain. Lawbreakers that increase their numbers sufficiently should not find a government receptive to giving they're law-breaking a legal status. That is a process of revolution instead of solid legal change. If a government that is weak and inconsistent does flip-flop on the application of the law temporarily it does create a legacy of disrespect for legal philosophy and integrity with lasting ill effects to the well being of a nation of laws with moral validity.
 Mexican citizens illegally residing in the United States should return to Mexico and apply through normal immigration channels to become permanent residents. Reason would indicate that their familiarity with the United States from having lived here should be acknowledged and given the value of perhaps half of the residency requirements for applying for U.S. citizenship should they happen to develop that circumstance. Reason would also indicate that former illegal aliens should need to live in the U.S.A. for some years after arriving legally to prove up their willingness to play by the rules and not just cut to the head of the line. A wise-guy beginning may be good enough for the Jersey mob of yore, yet it is not an adequate start in the life of millions of new American citizens.
The rich and middle class may prefer a cheap new mass labor force to prop up their concentration of wealth. The interests of the poor of the United States and of the unemployed to not coincide with those that would dump millions of new low income laborers in the nation. Dumping millions of dual citizenship new citizens would be a permanent disadvantage to millions of Americans. No illegal alien deal, if one is made by the decadent legislative class, should fail to require the forfeiture of Mexican citizenship of those seeking to take on U.S. citizenship.

Free Advice to Rush Limbaugh on How to Restore Conservative Momentum

In the wake of the Obama inauguration you may ask yourself; what is a conservative to do? Herein I will provide several ideas on the rationale of Presidential elections since 1980. Thus you may discover things about your own beliefs, and that of the national electorate that you may not have known.
One-Ronald Reagan was elected for his populist ideas rather than conservative ideas. 

The conservative ideas of Ronald Reagan, without Ronald Reagan are dead. Carter was elected after the last intelligent political operator President Richard Nixon took the fall over Watergate, because of his populist symbology. He could have a beer behind the gas station in a field jacket with brother Billy and the nation felt at peace. For a new conservative to be elected President he must be popular rather than a technocrat.
Gorge H.W. Bush was elected on Reagan's coattails and didn't serve a second term. Bill Clinton seemed a populist the nation might like-especially the ladies and homosexuals, and that was that. George Bush the Younger was barely elected with the intervention of the supreme court only because he ran against Pinnochio and the blow jobs of Bill Clinton's administration put a stain on the democrat oval office. Then the 9-11 job happened providing G.W. Bush a second term or he would have been cast out-though he ran against the uncharismatic John Kerry who said he was a war criminal along with his Vietnam vet peers.
President Obama is a mouthpiece for the liberal elite (as they regard themselves). He is a stuffed suit withuot dangerous original ideas that could upset the rich. Malcom X might have though of President Obama as a y.n. who mollifies the uninformed while channeling the money off to the rich. Under President Obama wealth continues to be concentrated while the bread and circuses charged on the federal credit card continues to throw trillions of debt on to to deficit pile no one intends to repay.
Americans vote populist if they have any reasonable choice. They want to elect the one that promises prosperity for all (well, President Obama seems to exclude the poor and accentuate the middle class), not the scrooge promising cuts. A balanced budget and deficit reduction is part of prosperity yet it must be carefully marketed to the voters. No plain conservative with nostalgia for King George III, Louis the XVI and Attaboy Attilla would find it easy to be elected to the Presidency on an agenda of trickle down from bankers, Wall Street elites and globalists of all sorts buying the U.S.Government.
The Conservative movement hasn't much of a political base economically speaking. The rich comprise at most 5% of the voters. For conservativism to develop a winning edge in 2014 and beyond it cannot schism itself with moderate and liberal Republicans for a divided Republican party is a minority. When conservatives say my way or the highway they serve to elect extreme liberal democrats.
American voters desire prosperity for-themselves and a President that really supports that. They want a good environment in recovery and full employment. They do not want Canadian tar sands oil through a pipeline and national groundwater pollution with undeclared chemicals used in fracking. The public is more intelligent than conservative talk radio hosts on occasion in believing scientific opinion on global warming issues as well as a number of other environmental issues. Republican and Tea Party Conservatism tends to run toward short-term dirty profits and an obsession about tax cuts for the privileged.
President Obama talks disingenuously about working in a bi-partisan manner and has chastised Republicans for not doing so. The President however should cut the federal budget 25% straitaway and create a health care infrastructure for the poor with walk in service at no cost through an expanded V.A. hospital system and take them out of Obamacare. Means tests should be applied to all social entitlement programs so the prosperous do not soak up money they don't need. The President has much to do himself to move toward  bi-partisanship and hasn't the slightest intent of doing so. The national economy suffers, the unemployed remain unemployed even approaching a retirement age they can't afford to retire in.
Republicans need that popular individual to run for office,with whatever Westinghouse appliances and such a conservative needs, along with donated political theory, to overcome the challenges of the day.

Hope Rises That Human Surrogate Can Birth Neanderthal


A Harvard geneticist has mentioned to a German newspaper that a surrogate could give birth to a Neanderthal after sufficient recombinant tinkering I guess. That brings hope for avoiding concussions in NFL games as Neanderthals had thicker skulls than people today.
Modern Neanderthals might disdain guns and just go right at it with assault clubs for home defense just for the heck of it.
Evidently the genome of Neanderthals might be reconstructed and put into human stem cells. One new that research would have real benefits one day.

The Logic of Political Evolution's Two-Degree Dialectic (poetry)

Structural traces remain in words like froth
on the rim of opportunities lost
when the city built over the green land
of wilderness packaged literal shadows
of tomorrow's yin yang ideas
fought in the war over political prisoners
contesting methods for delivering more product
resources consumable and with disposable debt
given cardboard hamburger filler yet

When the dialectic of political evolution ignores
358 degrees of other directions
when observation sentences are supplanted
propositions of historical theories stitched together
abstractions of loyal percentages
specialists arguing for truth-values in language
might have known if the light had been better
if empty continents without electronics
had the same political philosophy of right
as Venn diagrams of Eurasian states
alliances of social class kaleidoscopes
viewed objectively in existentialist percepts
rushed without adequate political philosophy
with declining resources, independence and truth
without moderating toward process utopia arranged like apparitions of hope and change

With the guidance of Christ to endure
through the secular,
through rampant decay
a shining smoldering ruined civilization on a hill
transformed mass conformity
into egalitarianism of ashes
in entropy's stable state
become one answer to the puzzle of how
evolution continued in the loss of individualism
with reform of capitalism.

Lance Armstrong Lived Too Strong in French Races for Critics


Lance Armstrong-winner of seven Tour de France bike races was stripped of his victories post hoc when convicted by bike racing's governing body of using performance enhancing drugs. He of course confessed that to Oprah Winfree recently.
Armstrong has proven to cancer victims that with the right cocktail of performance enhancers they too might 'live stronger'. Ironically though an admitted prevaricator Armstrong's admission provides more data to cancer survivors about how they too might recover their athletic health and even be better than before. It may be just a matter of time before Lance stars in 'The Six Hundred Million Dollar Man'.
One doesn't want the moral equivalence of an arms race with performance enhancing drugs and genetic engineering of course because of the monstrosities that might emerge-a real incredible hulk-however the public is addicted to breast enlargements and other kinds of enhancers even while the national share of world Global D.P. has dropped from 30 to 21%. Armstrong probably will not long experience majority approbation.

President Obama's Political Weapons of War Used to Support Concentration of Wealth


Socialized in the far eastern nation of Indonesia as a youth President Obama learned how society is of peons under the Suharnos and Suhartos of the world. Chowing down in a nation of dog eaters the young Barrack Obama learned not to rock the boat and disturb the wealthy. He continues that lesson as President of the United States.
President Obama has twice renewed the Bush II tax cuts instead of letting the expire so the U.S.A. can return to fiscal balance. One percent of Americans have as much wealth as 95% of the rest combined. The six heirs of Sam Walton have as much money as 30% of the people of the United States. No wonder they need to heir vets. Those vets with feelings of violence instilled in two foreign wars will need to be read Miranda rights before consulting with psychiatrists who might report their expression about violence to the state security officers for investigation.
President Obama seek Harvard lawyer regulatory changes and is clueless about reforming  the economy. America's 50% most poor have just 2.5% of the wealth between them. The President poses with Hollywood Stars and children as he seeks to disarm Americans so they will be less resistant to the encroaching concentration of wealth and perennial high unemployment. In the past 40 months just 59% of working age Americans had a job. What will the President develop next?

Obama 2nd Term: Increase Debt, Decrease Jobs, Prosperity and Guns


For the past 39  months fewer than 59% of working age Americans had jobs, the trade deficit with China was about 300 billion dollars in 2011. Half a million jobs are outsourced to China each year, more than 100 million Americans are enrolled in some federal welfare program. These and other facts are from a list of 75 economic facts at...
By the end of the 2nd Obama term the middle class and poor will have continued to wither and the public debt will be about 21 trillion dollars. Considering that no Presidential candidate is likely to have real economic policy able to balance the budget and start paying down the debt, it will only increase to grow and annual interest payments on the debt will be a trillion dollars.
With such a future the Democrat Party may be frightened of American gun ownership down the road. It might be easier to disarm the public and put them all on happy drugs transforming the populous into a kind of opium den without much cognizance of social reality.

Democrats Want Rape of 2nd Amendment To Show Power

Tragically as many as 30 people are killed each year with assault weapons in the U.S.A. In a nation of more than 300 million with more than 30 million legal visitors each year that percent is very small. America has remained a free society with liberal gun ownership, and the traditional wisdom is if it's not broke don't fix it. Democrat Party efforts to break down gun ownership may simply be a show of force and the entitlement to power of feminism. As feminist wisdom goes, rape is a show of power. Cutting down the male dominated gun purchases tradition may be a means to show power raping the second amendment.


This morning I went into a U.S. Federal building to get a few tax forms in order to report my income for 2012 early. I was informed by the security guards at the admission station by the metal detector that the tax office had moved away several hundred miles and that they had no forms in the building. I thought about the security a little and of its cost.
A federal worker was let through a special no-search gate. The peons of the public should wear no shoelaces if they visit because they must take their shoes off, and belt off, take out their coins and of course there are no chairs to sit in. One must leave one's knife someplace outside too.
I should say that knives are necessary for boaters to cut lines in emergencies such as if a skiff is tied to a sinking water-logged log towed off a beach and the boat is tarting to go under, and guns are useful for killing a pack of attacking wild dogs along the Yukon-and they do exist. Even a school teacher from Wisconsin was killed while out jogging by a wolf last year-she was of course unarmed and looked like prey in flight.
Have federal security guards ever stopped a truck bomber from detonating outside a federal building by screening inside? Since the federal government hires so many immigrants couldn't one of the federal workers themselves take a gun to work to shoot down his bosses?
With the Democratic effort to use psychiatrists as informers will that occupation need to Mirandize their patients with the warning that 'Anything you say can and may be used against you in a court of law'? The effort to transform psychiatrists into an intelligence gathering branch of the K.G.B.,or rather Homeland Security/Gestapo is probably the worst part of the raping of the second amendment.
Some would think that if guns are restricted overmuch that the small percent of people killed by guns that are not weapons of mass destruction may be supplanted by searches for weapons of mass destruction to get political satisfaction. It doesn't take a genius to realize that SUV gas tanks can have a spark plug placed in them and wired to the ignition, or that magnetically attached detonators can be placed on hundreds of cars with an hour or two before going off. The inventiveness of some of the very frustrated denied equal rights and the opportunity to be armed in self-defense may lapse from armed neutrality into a state of innovative direct opposition.
If some Phd or M.A. in biology invents a new plague in a basement perhaps gathering naturally occurring anthrax in Cuba, or improves Hanta virus or whatever with all of the genomic data available on line the causality count might be thousands of times greater than the 30 or so casualities that happen in America-such as at the California McDonald's massacre decades ago.
Guns have always been an integral part of American civil liberty-and women have tended to shy away from them when not frontiers women. Women, minorities and homosexuals do comprise a new majority willing to sacrifice the second amendment that is not coincidentally placed after the first in order to recognize the need for public defense of free speech with armed potential violence. Yet the groups seeking to rape the second amendment as a show of power are those groups that have never been leaders in the military defense of the United States against enemies of freedom foreign and domestic. It would be good if they took a deep philosophical look at the chasm they seek to leap off before they work further to destroy a state of civil liberty that isn't broken.
