DoD & GOP Caught in the Out-Of-Paradigm InterDependency Spiral: Moths Circling Their Supposed Source of Fiat

Commentary by Roger Erickson

Strategic positioning in the War on the Middle Class continues, with real or feigned re-positioning of available lobbyist forces. Sec. Defense Hagel says "any approach to reducing the budget would have to include slashing compensation costs." No one could have predicted that coming, right? :( Consider it a wake-up call, mobilizing the MICC lobby to double their efforts?

Plus, to drive home the recruiting message, Pentagon to Slow Contractor Payments Ahead of U.S. Spending Cuts. Just a warning, of course. Rather like the warning sent by raising the (absolutely necessary?) FICA taxes on the Middle Class again? When nothing makes sense, how do you motivate people to even stay in the conversation? Free booze?

Have the NSA monitor & target anyone NOT participating in NewSpeak?

What's the only escalation step remaining after that. A threat to "go nuclear" - i.e., "adjust" MICC campaign contributions to a few more Congresspeople?

And the Middle Class? Libor-fairians have latched on to a plan to deal with them. Replace 'em with hard working, more manageable "immigrants" - like the ones currently striking at McDonalds.

How do YOU spell Control Fraud - especially the kind too clever for their own good?

Forget bear dens, the more dangerous place to enter is the black hole between Control Frauds & operational ignorance. To them, growing interdependencies are just things to be kicked off "welfare" (but ONLY if it's not a corporation).

What is a sane citizen supposed to think, viewing all this insanity? For investors in both private fiat and democracy, have we reached the point where you can never go wrong shorting the USA?

Case in point. Have you ever seen a Control Fraud sustainably operating, say, a nuclear power plant? An F1 racing team? The DoD? How about social evolution? Just because it's never been observed doesn't mean it couldn't happen ... in theory ... well, ignoring definitions, axioms and probability. Just saying. After all, no one could have predicted what keeps happening, repeatedly. Right?

"slow pay"

Right I think this is what they do from time to time and it wreaks havoc with the fiscal flows... causes wild swings month to month...

And Geithner DENIED they can do this though, I recall him saying: "we have no discretion we have to pay a bill when it is presented...." so that statement by Geithner looks false in light of Hagels statement here...

None of these people even know what the heck is really going on...

I used to work at the NIH. Their Purchasing Officers were legendary. Back then they had a MINIMUM of 2 months before they had to "present" themselves to the Purchase Orders on their desks.

There's tremendous leeway to legally define "presentation." Geithner would know. :(
