Scary Reality is undergoing a name change

Einstein’s definition of insanity:
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

  Neither you nor I voted for a National Debt of $22.8 trillion $22,798,479,724,321. Oct. 01, 2019; nor the squandering so far of $12.9 trillion ($12,953,507,000,000 Sept 2019) on interest. Interest PAYMENTS for the last 2 years was $1.1 Trillion ($1,097,695,084,909.75). That is not Chump Change.

  Someone is not telling the truth so who do you believe, Cut taxes for the rich Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan and "I won't be here" when it blows up (the debt) Donald Trump or George Washington, Thomas Jefferson & Abraham Lincoln? My choice, Washington, Jefferson & Lincoln
  Were the founders of this nation and 
Abraham Lincoln incompetent or was it that they were illadvised, maybe they were just uneducated, how else do you explain away their thoughts that debt is a bad plan. Could anyone explain to them or would anyone even be stupid enough to try, that spending $12.9 Trillion in interest payments with trillions more still owed on interest was/is a good idea.

President George Washington and National Debt
  As a very important source of strength and security, cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is, to use it as sparingly as possible… ($22.8 Trillion National Debt, failed that one)

Long ago Thomas Jefferson wrote

Abraham Lincoln

  Many people will look at this site, rationalize "My life is good, this doesn’t affect me, why should I care? Still have my MTV, BET, ESPN"; impervious to danger, like the Captain of the Titanic steaming full speed toward the iceberg ahead.

From the Republican Neo-Con blueprint




  If the loan bears a charge of 5 per cent, then in twenty years the State vainly pays away in interest a sum equal to the loan borrowed,($22.8 trillion) in forty years it is paying a double sum,($45.6 trillion) in sixty - treble,($68.4 trillion) and all the while the debt remains an unpaid debt.

Disney does a great job at make believe

it is time for a reality check because
this is one seriously ugly mess

  When the $12,953,000,000,000 ($12.9 trillion) already squandered for interest is added to the debt still owed this becomes a lot of money.  This was a great plan for the banks/lenders but a horrible plan for those having to pay the interest!

  There is no nice way to say this, Wall Street does not care about you, Bankers do not care about you, Owners of Hedge Funds do not care about you, The Elitists don't care about you, the majority of the people living in the United States of America have been used.

Abraham Lincoln

  Many have been played as fools, Wall Street does not invest in America, Wall Street is a Gamblers Paradise, those people do not work, they are con men skimming the cream of the everyday workers blood, sweat and tears. Wall Street does not give a rip about you or your kids. The Bankers, and Gamblers (Wall Street & Hedge Fund operators) only care about money and with so many in the House, Senate and even President candidates begging for campaign money they will not produce change because that would amount to biting the hand that feeds them.

If history repeats itself yet again it will not be pretty:


From the Memorial of President Roosevelt

  President George Washington in his farewell speech warned the people of the dangers of Potentates’; Political Parties & Debt: it is too bad that the people have disregarded/ignored his sound advice!

  It seems that our politicians’ are somewhat confused, the reason a large number of us did not vote for Mr. Romney and the Republicans was because President Obama and the Democrats were viewed as the lesser of two evils, God only knows if there is a lesser of two evils this time Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump (what a sad way to run this country).
The greed, maneuvering and hypocrisy of to many elected officials is disgusting. Some of us do not suffer from amnesia, we are facing a financial nightmare because the Republicans took this country off the gold standard back in 1971, when Nixon was President, to pay for the War in Vietnam and have been living on borrowed money ever since.

  In 2001 instead of using the surplus money the government was taking in to pay down “our” National Debt, President Bush and the Republicans (G.O.P.) decided to run up a Strategic Deficit (Two unfunded wars and a tax cut), never taking into consideration the law of unintended consequences, (Strategic deficit to cut programs) this plan was concocted while the Republican President Reagan was in office and now 30 years later the debt is bad enough that implementation by the Republicans can and has commenced.

The Federal Reserve Bank is NOT Your Friend

  The Federal Reserve Bank (which is not run by the United States government and which came into existence because of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913) finally stopped the controversial policy known as quantitative easing, they bought $45 billion in Treasuries each month for 4 years ($540 Billion per year) and $40 billion mortgage-backed securities each month($480 Billion per year) that equaled $4,080,000,000,000 ($4.08 trillion). (Guess where the money came from? The United States Treasury Dept.)

  One private equity chief went so far as to publicly thank Ben S. Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman until February 2014, whose program of extraordinary economic stimulus has helped push stocks higher, feeding the private equity machine.  “Thank you, Ben Bernanke. I saw him last Thursday, and I thanked him,” Mr. Schwarzman of Blackstone said during a conference in December. “The opportunity for us to be able to attract funds is very, very high.”
  Stephen A. Schwarzman, the head of the Blackstone Group, took home $452.7 million, ([$8,690,000] $8.69 million per week) also more than double what he made in the previous year.

  Invitation Homes: Dallas-based subsidiary of The Blackstone Group has spent $8 billion buying about 43,000 homes nation wide. That's amazing, veterans are homeless and these people only seem to be concerned about fatter returns. The COO of Blackstone Group is now the CEO of Costco (Is he just another Wall Streeter or is he going to protect his employees as founder Jim Sinegal did when he was CEO of Costco, only time will tell).

Wall Street (Blackstone Group) buyers snap up thousands of local homes for rentals

  An internal Goldman memo suggested that speculation by investors accounted for about a third of the price of a barrel of oil. A commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the federal regulator, subsequently used that estimate to calculate that speculation added about $10 per fill-up for the average American driver. Other experts have put the total, combined cost at $200 billion a year.

Why were the banks allowed to raid the FDIC? Because that is where the money was.

  Steven Mnuchin, President Trump’s Treasury Secretary fits this description by L Michael Tomkins, EdD, of a Psychopath “A psychopath doesn’t have a conscience. If he lies to you so he can steal your money, he won’t feel any moral qualms, though he may pretend to.” MR. Mnuchin was a founder of OneWest Bank, this video explains how people lost all they had to a group of psychopathic lovers of money, control and power.

Another Richard Nixon gift that just keeps on taking: HMO's

Ehrlichman: "Edgar Kaiser is running his Permanente deal for profit. And the reason that he can—the reason he can do it—I had Edgar Kaiser come in—talk to me about this and I went into it in some depth. All the incentives are toward less medical care, because— the less care they give them, the more money they make."

  If the people of the United States of America have been legally mandated by the President, House, Senate and Supreme (Kangaroo) Court to have to purchase Health Insurance why are a group of "Individuals" allowed to pocket Millions of Dollars in wages off the premiums that WE THE PEOPLE are forced to pay; I thought that was the definition of extortion. The Mafia could only hope; legalized extortion, how could it get any better then that?  It just got better:  The crime syndicates could not dream up legalized extortion like this - state officials have approved rate increases of 25 to 50 percent or more in 2017.

  Someone would have to be one hell of a fiction writer to make this up so just in case you wanted to understand why your health care premiums’ need to go up; Ex-wife needs $433,991 a month

  Seeing how WE THE PEOPLE are forced into paying into this racket how about forcing maximum wages payable to these bums, maybe something in line with 25 times the minimum wage [Minimum wage $7.25 per hour; Maximum wage $181.25 per hour, and let’s put a stop to "Stock Options" while we are at it.

“Investors” & “Management”
Destroyed American companies
The Destruction of the Middle Class "Stock Options"

  The word value has many different meanings and everyone seems to believe their definition is the correct one which leads to confusion, fighting and anarchy because you have your definition and beliefs of value and others have thers.
  1) Wall Street; I am more valuable then you, it is my money and I don't care if you aren't making it, not my problem. Mantra - no taxes
  2) The Me, Myself and I crowd : I value my freedom to choose, I can do as I please; Mantra - my choices - my rules.
  3) A code or creed, an action for the betterment of the many, instead of the one: Value defined as Sacrifice, Integrity, Morals, Ethics.
  The first two definitions are about self, while the third is about community.
  There is a colossal difference between Main Street & Wall Street, one is trying to build this Country up and is taking a serious beating, while the other is tearing it apart with little regard as to the damage being done or the lives being wrecked. At this point in the battle between Main Street and Wall Street, Main Street is getting its ass kicked.
  Main Street and the Sensible Center have for the most part held to the third definition of value. Wall Street has embraced definitions one & two.
  Why did the "Alt Right" come about & why do they refer to the Main Stream press as "Fake News", the answer, not easy nor pretty.

fetter: a chain or shackle; something that confines; restraint
  Unfettered, unrestrained capitalism gave us this national debt, exorbitant health care costs, destroyed pensions, sent jobs off-shore, and brought in foreign workers to replace American workers with H1B1 visas.

  Unfettered capitalism is just unchecked greed.

  People working together for the betterment of all used to be what America was about, it gave us clean drinking water, electricity (rural electrification of U.S. 1920-1930), Interstate freeway system, vitamins A & D in milk, iodine in salt, pensions, a 40 hour work week. If that is considered socialism I'm having a difficult time seeing where that is such a bad plan. Our military is a socialistic organization and before the era of Money, Money, Money (Dave Ramsey’s theme song), Christianity was socialistic in nature.

  Throughout history unfettered capitalism has always brought about war. If this is allowed to continue millions will again be sacrificed on the Altar of Capitalistic Greed.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of a nation that is
bankrupt and dying.
Not just financially in this sea of red ink but morally as well.
And to the republic for which it once stood.
Has our sovereignty been signed away?
(Treaties Supersede our Constitution)
Which has forsaken God.
Injustice, greed, lies, debauchery.
Is divisible with special interest groups.
Over 30,000,000 laws.
How many are pay-offs to special interest groups?
And miscarriages of justice for all.
Unfortunately when laws are not enforced equally on all people
justice becomes a joke.

Confessions of a Congressman

If Congress wants to stop the Cynics, Congress needs to stop the Games

  A solution for the problem of gerrymandering written about in the article Confessions of a Congressman because gerrymandering and BIG MONEY have brought about so many problems.

  To stop Gerrymandering; (the creative drawing of Congressional Districts which everyone with a computer can look up by Googling there district); use districts drawn up using Zip Codes as they are set up now. DO NOT ALLOW Zip Codes to be redrawn but just add or subtract a Zip Code North, South, East or West to get the desired number of people needed in each District.

We have problems because to many refuse to stand for anything

  By the time World War II ended the young men, both rich and poor had learned to work together to survive and because of the shared horrors of war continued to work together for the betterment of all.
  Unfortunately over the years others who had not witnessed or been involved in the horrors of war decided they were more valuable and manipulated our elected officials to manufacture laws for their own self-interest.
  Is it not amazing how many seem to have an inflated value of their self-worth, many making a high dollar salary believe they are worth it (CEO’s, Lawyers, Wall Street Gamblers). We are all replaceable, although some are a little harder to replace than others (Einstein, Tesla).
  I have found few to be worth $250,000 a year; I have never met anyone worth $50,000 a month ($600,000 a year). Now if we could just convince the poor kids selling drugs (maybe they like caviar too) that money isn’t everything because when we die and I don’t care who you are, the big house, fancy cars, exotic toys of the lifestyles of the rich and shameless, it all stays.
  If you are a decent individual some people will cry at your funeral, and some might even mourn your passing for a time, reflecting on the good times, but, life goes on,
the world didn't stop spinning. At work they will find someone to replace you; you’re expendable, you are replaceable.
  What is that CEO or Lawyer or Wall Street Gambler really worth when good men and women are injured, maimed or killed standing up for this country? How arrogant can the CEO or Lawyer or Wall Street Gambler be when we as a nation can replace a President such as Lincoln or Kennedy in just a matter of hours?

  CEO rakes it in / CEO to make Hundreds of Millions - $15,000 Reenlistment bonus’ clawed-back

  Those two articles qualify and quantify the definition of chicken-shit. First article only runs 5 paragraphs

  Chicken shit refers to behavior that makes life worse than it need be: petty harassment of the weak by the strong; open scrimmage for power and authority and prestige… insistence on the letter rather than the spirit of the law. Chicken shit is so called –- instead of horse- or bull- or elephant shit -- because it is small minded and ignoble and takes the trivial, seriously.
  Chicken shit people and organizations’ are easily recognized because of their greedy, self-centered and often-times manipulative actions.

YOUR ACTION NEEDED: Contact your elected representatives in Washington DC and tell them to get over their party differences and get to solutions NOW.  Let them know you are disappointed that $12.953 trillion has been squandered so far paying interest on the $22.8 trillion National Debt.

We have a Standards Problem and it needs to be fixed.

  We as a nation are at a cross-road, unfortunately neither the left nor the right seem to understand how we got here, may I offer an observation; When there are no standards, chaos follows.
  There are two major standards that have been disregarded first one is a dual principal, morals & ethics, the standard that was used in the past. During the time of Washington and Jefferson (The Bible, the book of morals & ethics) has been for all intents and purposes tossed out by the crazy right and loony left, it appears that neither group has bothered to read the book.
  Because we as a nation no longer have shared standards, a kid is killed over shoes and a cop willingly gives a homeless person a dung sandwich; something is seriously wrong in our country. (There are a large number of decent kids and cops but there are problem kids and problem cops and way too many people with weird standards).

  When standards are removed, corner stone's (boundaries') shifted, anything goes. 
Some laughed, some mocked her as she died - Teenagers Recorded Man Drowning and Laughed. We will reap what we have sown if this is not corrected, we will reap the whirlwind.
  This can actually be fixed, Proverbs is as applicable today as it was 3000 years ago when first written (the rest of the book is also applicable), there are a number of good preachers out there that will call bullshit what it is but opening and reading the book yourself helps to ensure preachers are and keep telling the truth. Education is the key; that is what Martin Luther and Gutenberg with his invention of the press gave to We The People, the ability to read the truth. It was an incredible gift at the time and still is because the Religious Authorities were lying there asses off as to what was printed in the Book to control the masses.
  Second one concerns finances, and will be more difficult to repair, with the removal of the gold standard money could be printed without concern as long as the debt was paid back, it wasn't paid back, $22.8 Trillion later we now have a mess.

  Thomas Jefferson stated that education is the key, he did not say that it would be pain free or easy but/and your involvement not only matters, it is needed

Bolivia (South American Country), Bechtel (American Corporation) and the water wars

  There is no nice way to say this; we the people have been hosed! Do you want to understand how this mess came about? There was/is a plan and it looks really ugly for the Red Neck - Blue Collar - Christian crowd:  Hard times lie ahead, but cheer up, things are getting worse
