B...<i> “Our nation’s finances are a blistering topic.”</i><br /><br />Blistering bullshit. <br /><br />Pundits, professors, and politicians focus on the trivial <b>national debt</b> in order to distract the peasants from crippling <b>private</b> debt. <br /><br /><i> “Democrats blame Republicans for ‘blowing up the deficit’ with tax cuts, while Republicans insist that programs such as Social Security and Medicare are the real drivers of our <b>fiscal mess.”</b></i><br /><br />There is no “fiscal mess,” unless we are talking about the US Air Force paying $1,280 for each coffee cup, for example. And that’s only one example among millions. The Air Force spent $326,000 on coffee cups it kept breaking. <br /><br />Some people think that money should be “backed by” gold. Let’s have money “backed by” those coffee cups, or “backed” by those infamous $10,000 toilet seats the Air Force bought.<br /><br />The US Air Force has 312 operational aircraft squadrons, and is demanding another 74 squadrons. <br /><br />And no one ever asks, “How will you pay for it?”<br /><br />“You guys are biased against war.”<br />“Everyone here is unqualified.”<br />“Get yer munnie back!”<br />“Art major!”<br />“Art major!”Konradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01739209449391854796noreply@blogger.com
