Minnesota shame on you

Results were finally announced and Al F. (F can stand for a lot of things) was declared the winner. This guy is worthless and could not run a hot dog stand let alone be a senator. Just goes to show how worthless Minnesota has to be to vote him in. He was never funny, always irritating and stupid, and I can only imagine what he will be like on the Senate floor. . . stand up comedy anyone? Seriously, this is not funny anymore. The US is going to the dogs and Al F stands for everything that is wrong with it. Wake me when this nightmare is over.

And i thought things could not get worse

Never in the history of the world has so few (Liberals) produced a law that taxed so great, eliminated industries wholesale, millions of jobs to be cast away, and with the capability of utterly destroying what remains of the American economy for so little in return. That's right, Cap and Trade. In the middle of a recession that does not have an end, we are going to see the floor disappear in the economy. Coal must go. Nuclear never started. And all in and bet the farm on renewable energy sources. Cows, pigs, and chickens must go and we all must become Vegans. Gas . . . someday you will dream of what $3.00/gallon must have been like. Energy has become nationalized and all of this so the climate will not raise by 1/100 of a degree within 50 years. Of course, China, india, and Russia are not bound by it and will continue to pollute to their heart's content. But what the hey, the liberals like to soothe their consciences, and damn the consequences. The environmentalists got what they wanted, total chaos and a reversion to the village people.
A cabin in the middle of the woods looks better and better. For whatever long what is left of the USA goes.

A Sad end for a great Country

yesterday, June 9, 2009 will be long recognized as the end of the United States of America and the beginning of the new United Socialist States of America. Even the Supreme Court as the final bulwark of democracy punted the ball and ignored the constitution. One final opportunity existed to support the constitution, to uphold the dignity of over two centuries of law. The Chrysler bailout/bankruptcy/union take over. The Government rolling over the existing statutes of contract law to make politically expidient conditions. In essence, even the Supremes decided that Barry and his gang could do what they wanted, whenever they wanted, to whomever, not withstanding contracts and existing law.

The Old America is gone. What investor or company in their right mind will invest in bonds or other debentures that (although by law) have priority over all other debt when the good Old USSA can overturn law in any fashion they wish. Payoff the unions and politically connected factions. Screw the bondholders, they are only the rich and greedy (despite the Indiana pension funds nonetheless). GM is next and this will only be worse. And still to come unknown others would will be treated this way.

Who says the recession is over. I expect it to last and last and last. Only companies and private enterprise provide real working jobs (Oh, the only segment in the US economy to gain jobs over the last 6 months has been government . . . they do not provide wealth merely redistribute it). With taxes up, regulation up, oversight up, who can foresee months in the future let alone years it takes to make investment decisions.

Oh. I can foresee several trends in the years to come. Continued economic hard times for all working (e.g. non-governmental) workers, especially for businesspersons and owners (those greedy rich ones who are barely getting by), and high and rising inflation and interest rates. Buckle down America it is going to get far rougher far sooner than anyone expected.

The trillion dollar Insanity

Barry and party must be idiots. that is the only excuse I can see. They are trying to throw a trillion dollar party without any clear ideas of what to spend or how to spend it. Throw it out there and hope some of it sticks. Bailout the states and cities. Bailout homeowners who should have never beenin a home in the first place. If you are victim and failed, here is some money. If you were successful, you are greedy and we need to tax you more. Tax cuts for those who did not pay taxes. What is this? Pure payoff.

Vote it down. A stimulus package that stimulates not creates more pain. It is like throwing a sixpack to an alcoholic. It wont make the situation any better.

Hypocrite thy name is Democrat

I remember the good old days. When the Republicans ran the administration. A candidate would come up before the senate and the Democrats would rake him or her over the coals because in 7th grade they did something or they voted the wrong way on a bill twenty years ago. Perfection was not enough for these guys.

And now what do we have. Tax cheats. Who only repented once they were found out. A Republican who had done so would have been crucified, killed twice over by the media, and branded a poor role model by every liberal broadcaster on this planet (basically all main media personnel). But a democrat. Forgiveness is thy name. Oh, we need his skills now and are willing to overlook these small errors of his ways (errors which would have ended up giving the average American ten to twenty at another not so plush place). It appears that almost anything can be forgiven if you have the right political views.

We have a word for that hypocrite. And it will end up costing them more than they realize.

Why the Economic stimulus plan will not work

Why the economic stimulus plan proposed by Barry and the boys will fail and be the boondoggle of all boondoggles and earmarks to heaven.
1) this is not the great depression. Unemployment is nowhere near 25% and will not get one third as high
2) In the GD, make work was hiring thousands of poorly skilled, poorly educated men as manual laborers and provide them with a shovel. Today, the same projects are high capital items with million dollar Caterpillar machines using a small fraction of humans necessary.
3) The world economy is an informational one not a human muscle one. The labor available is mainly poorly skilled and undereducated and cannot compete on the world informational stage. Unless training is included, it will not add much to the US brain pool.
4) Few of the project have any cost benefit analysis and will be selected on a purely political, read to go basis.

Infrastructure stimulus plan--my own

My thoughts on an infrastructure stimulus bill are as follows:
Items should be able to provide value to the American economy.
1) Add a third lane to all interstates and a fourth lane to urban loops. Upgrade all roads and bridges to satisfactory conditions
a. Traffic will increase. Semi traffic double or triple in next decade
b. Open roads means smoother traffic, less congestion, and better energy results
c. Double gas tax to provide funds to maintain and improve roads
2) Use federal grants to double track all major rail lines in the country and to build overpasses/underpasses along all highways.
a. Expedite rail traffic and hence save energy
b. Immediately save several thousands lives a year ordinarily killed by rail auto incidents
c. Provide path for direct, high speed interurban passenger rail traffic
3) Double or triple port capacity. Provide priority for exports.
4) Modernize FAA and air routes to provide point to point travel
a. Save energy and time
5) Immediately open up all coastline and government acreage to oil and gas exploration, fast-track and prohibit environmental challenges. Open up ANWR and Oil shale production.
6) Fast track dozens of new nuclear energy plants.
7) Upgrade and build new transcontinental transmission systems to provide for easy flow of power to where it is needed.
