Why Debt Is OK

The never ceasing mantra of the Republican party is that  going into debt is a terrible, terrible thing and will  lead to the end of American prosperity. Of course, this is nonsense. Why?

I purchase a house for $300,000 and use life savings to  put down a $30,000 deposit. This leaves me with a $270,000 debt and I earn $40,000 per year. I am lucky after making mortgage payments and living expenses to break even. It will require at least 30 years at this rate to pay off my debt. Over 90% of Americans spend twenty or thirty years in debt and do not go bankrupt. Of course, in this case, the value of my home increases which means when the house is sold, I might even make a profit.

So, what do we learn from economics. If in going into debt, the overall value of society increases, the debt is a positive factor. For example, veterans of WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War received large amounts of money to pay for education and vocational training. Statistically, for each dollar received they eventually sent to the US Treasury about $20.

We need MORE POSITIVE DEBT!

Let’s Go Back To Olden Days!

I continually read comments from Conservative columnists about the good old days when God was in Heaven and people listened carefully to their rabbis or priests or ministers. In the good old days, girls were just girls and boys played down at the swimming pool and if  they heard the word, pot, it simply meant the item mom used to place her flowers. New evidence reveals that global carbon dioxide in the atmosphere passed the 400 parts per million level. The last time they were at this level was back in the good old days seven million years ago.

Oh well, the Arctic area in those days was ice free as it increasingly is today. So, what is wrong about going back seven million years?

Well, for one thing, they did not have such terrible issues as Benghazi!

Life In Republican Land

The Republican Party increasingly reveals evidence that it has lost connection with the world of reality. Congressman Roger blasted officials working for the Transportation Department because they never informed Mr. Rogers of possible problems if  funds for the FAA were  cut. The entire nation knew there would be flight delays but Congressman Roger was  never individually informed about this reality. He is upset.

Congressman Duncan Hunter was holding a hearing to denounce Army plans when Army Secretary John McHugh and General Raymond Odierno became upset because they were not allowed to respond to the congressman’s question. McHugh asked: “May we respond, I think I heard a question? Well, I don’t think I want to respond if the gentleman’s going to leave? Would you please hear a brief response?

Hunter:  ”If you don’t let me say anything we can’t  have a discussion.”

Odierno: “Well, you weren’t gonna let us say anything>”

Hunter: “Well, you’re right, but I have the prerogative when I’m sitting here.”

Odierno:  ”Well, I have a  prerogative too and that’s to answer a question accurately.”

Hunter:  Happy Friday

Such is life in Republican Land.

Slippery Slopes

Democrats and Republicans in the US Senate arrived at a compromise agreement that would prevent the infamous “fiscal cliff” from becoming part of the geography of the United States. Donald Trump denounced this bill claiming the Republicans were “the worse negotiators in history.” Together with Congressman Eric Cantor, the renowned leader of finding birth certificates argued “Republicans got nothing.” This is  rather an interesting take on issues confronting the United States of America.

Republicans “got nothing” is the most vivid argument for never again voting for a Republican. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has a financial problem, not the Republican party. Republicans place their political party before the nation. This is the modern Republican party.

Death In The Afternoon

It was a beautiful day and Joseph Loughrey decided to spend some time with his son, Craig. No, he did not want to play with the boy, no, he did not want to take the boy to the library and engage him with books. No, he did not want to spend some time with the boy at an amusement park. Joseph wanted to engage his son with an important skill, playing with guns. They went to a store where Joseph wanted to sell two guns but was unable.

They returned to the car, Joseph placed the guns in it, put his son, Craig in a seat, turned and mistakenly touched the trigger finger. He had taken out all bullets. Unfortunately, he was mistaken, another bullet remained in the rifle. A shot rang out, Craig slumped over and was dead.

Just another example of the stupidity of guns and children.

Wall Street Bonus Drops!

This blog owes an apology to Mitt Romney for doubting the impact of President Obama’s critical words directed at job creators. Little did I know Xmas bonus payouts on Wall Street would dramatically drop due to the war on wealth by the Muslim Obama. Instead of last year’s $138,000 the underpaid Wall Street folk will only receive a meager $100,000. Oh my God, how can they afford summers in the Hamptons or trips to London when their meager $300,000 yearly salary must do with this reduced payment for the holidays.

I warn liberals who are engaged in this war against job creators. Reduce Wall Street bonus payments and fewer diamond rings will be sold, fewer drivers will be hired to drive cars and high class prostitutes will no longer be available to someone who only has a $100,000 bonus.

How about impeaching Barack Obama on grounds he harbors hatred toward job creators?

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

We offer observations on the human condition from a 22 year old mind trapped in an 82 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

A Dentist office next to McDonald’s, a match made in Heaven.

We need weighing stations at entrance to fast food shops.

Oh, to live in a city and never again drive a car!

Children possess incredible curiosity until they enter school.

Say, whatever happened to Rudy Giuliani after he saved America?

As butt sizes expand, do minds?

My body now  wobbles as I walk.

God made bodies wear out so there would be new customers.

She gazes out window as he gazes down. Lunch for the married.

I see a woman being wheeled in a wheelchair-my future?

Adage: what goes round comes around. Only if you decide it happens.

Some dream of riches in bank, some in mind.

My dream is to voyage beyond the stars.

I rarely place hand in pocket to check anything

Humans throughout time have always spoken with hands.

Age slows bending over process.

My real disaster is to misplace glasses.

To be human is to function as a detective.

Child gazes at me-what is he thinking?

To be alive is to think, to think is to be alive.

The noise of life can be overwhelming.

Lesson of life is we can always do without.

Some clean off table before sitting, I do not. I am Depression  born.

We possess an analytical mind but all too often do not use it.

Some rub wrist when speaking, I do not.

My strength in life- I readily detect  bullshit.

My mind is my most precious possession.

We arrive alone and thus will we depart.

Americans insist there is always a conspiracy.

Mars Discovery Explains Republicans

NASA is prepared to reveal information about a discovery on the Martian landscape that will be  important. We are pleased to be the first human source that can explain the meaning of the finding. It appears that NASA instruments picked up a document lying in the Martian soil whose content is breath taking. It is written in English and reportedly is a statement written by the Martian Republican party. Yes, there once was a Republican party on Mars, and, yes, it was led by one MITT ROMMNEY, the Martian one, that is.

The document informs Martians there is no problem with climate change, the document informs Martians that free enterprise built the Martian economy, the document informs Martians their planet began about 10,000 years before, and the document informs Martians there is  no need for the Martian government to worry about health care. So, since most Martians did not have health insurance, some got sick and spread a virus which killed them all off.

Oh, MITTT was found dead in his car which was parked at the top of his home. He was clutching a Martian flag in his hands. And, he had a piece of paper in one hand about some person called Smith.

Missing Link Explains Republicans

Researchers have discovered a new gene which may explain the difference between how humans evolved from chimpanzees. The gene, called, miR-941, appears to have played a critical role in how humans  learned to use tools and  langugage. This was a new gene that is only found in those we term to be, human. Finally, we are now able to understand the difference between Republicans and Democrats.

It is now clear that when Republicans argue, cut income, spend more, the the end result is to have more money available to pay for debts. We humans understand this does not make sense, but our Republican brothers and sisters simply lack the important human gene. Please do not get angry at them, they simply lack miR-941. I expect researchers will discover that those who vote Republican have -miR-942. One digit away from being an intelligent human.

My Ancestors Were Killers!

I am of Cro-Magnon heritage and therefore carry within my genes ancient ideas of my ancestors. I realize that my ancestors  somehow did away with those pesky Neanderthal folk but was not too clear how this came about. New evidendce reveals that about 71,000 years ago my ancestors had developed a new technology that used “bladelets” as sharp tips for arrows and spears. It appears that every time some ancient site is uncovered new evidence emerges that the old folk of my life were  lethal killers.

I want to offer a public apology to any and all descendants of Neanderthal for what my ancestors did to your ancestors. Then again, I have a suspicion that if  Neanderthals had bladelets they would have used them against the Cro-Magnons. Let us face reality–all life forms on this planet enjoy killing.

So, tell me, God, was that part of the original design?
