To All My Valued Employees
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 under Domestic, Taxes & EconomyThere have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company, and more specifically, your job. As you know, the economy has changed for the worse and presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: The economy doesn’t pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is the changing political landscape in this country.
However, let me tell you some little tidbits of fact which might help you decide what is in your best interests.
First, while it is easy to spew rhetoric that casts employers against employees, you have to understand that for[…]
Continue ReadingWhat the Debt Really Looks Like - FYI
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 under Baby Boomers, Domestic, Politics, Taxes & EconomyThe following information for your enjoyment.
It is a chart showing the following:
Year
US Population
US GDP
US National Debt
Debt as % of GDP
Debt per Capita
For the sake of space, I show only every five years, with the exception of 2003-2008, as they are current.
1972-2005 are ACTUALS from various sources such as the CIA Factbook, IRS and Census.
2006-2008 are ESTIMATES from these same sources.
2008–2040 are PROJECTIONS based on the historical average increases in each category 1972-2005. They do NOT include whatever “stimulus” Pelosi, Reid and Obama will deliver unto us.
In 2040 I dumped in the entire unfunded $40T of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. I[…]

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 under Domestic, PoliticsSo - Dem president is coming to town and spending money like water for his inauguration. And the change would be…????
And WE have to pick up the tab for this?
I mean there seem to be lots of Dem constituents - you know, the downtrodden, the little guy, etc., who certainly could use a few bucks. So this FNG is going to spend a few hundred Mil on his coming-out party?
Where in the Constitution does it say the Federal Government has the right to tax citizens for an inauguration? Balls? Parties? I can’t find that part…..

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 under Climate, Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, The Rest of the WorldFor those old enough to remember the Cold War, complete with daily lies in the daily Pravda (house organ of the USSR), including “correct” versions of old photos from which “non-persons” have been airbrushed out (such as Kruschev following his ouster from the Politburo), it is a bit unsettling - but not particularly surprising - that as the New York Times has become the house organ for the socialist Left in America (closely imitated by the Washington Post and the LA Times) as we move distinctly Left, one can actually now go to Pravda for the truth as Russia has at[…]

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009 under Baby Boomers, Domestic, PoliticsPresident Elect Obama has proposed Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary.
But Geithner didn’t pay Social Security or Medicare taxes for several years, despite constant reminders from his employers, the IMF.
Now, you or I would go to jail for this.
But not Geithner. He’s “contrite” and made an “honest mistake.”
Help me out here. He is a financial professional about to take over Treasury, and it’s an “honest mistake” when he fails to pay his taxes?
But it gets better.
Sen Hatch – a REPUBLICAN, once the party of law and order – says he’ll “still support him… he’s a competent guy.”
I don’t know about you, but[…]

Monday, January 5th, 2009 under Climate, DomesticFor good or ill, the Huffington Post has become a watering hole for the thirsty on the Left. Since they post and believe what is there, the below is interesting - and quoted in the Wall Street Journal.
Not only is Huffington starting to publish opinion that the entire Al Gore-inspired (and enriching - he’s now worth over $100M thanks to this scare nonsense) Global Warming scare is the garbage that all serious scientists have always said it to be, both primary Weather Reporters on CNN (not a right wing bastion) have joined scientists such as the head of Meteorology at[…]
