HONESTY
It's all we need |
|||||
| Instead of trivia, we need the rip-off of Social Security and other entitlements on the front burner, not stuck in there like an afterthought playing second or third fiddle to how many pardons and light bulbs Hillbillary got away with. We need a leader with the guts to stand before us and admit the lies and criminal activities that have been covered with a blunderbuss of diversions, invented words, and smoke screens. Even if these revelations expose his own party, his father, and previous administrations. These are nonpartisan rip-offs merely perfected by Clinton, Gore, and the party of the people during the last eight years. We need a leader who will admit that the “76 million baby-boomer” fairy tale was for no other purpose than to frighten the public into accepting increases in the age of retirement and higher caps on FICA wage limits. Whatever other changes the Beltway Bandits can invent to increase their booty. We need a leader who will admit that running a deficit is better than stealing entitlement money. That the ability to borrow money overnight by selling Treasury securities on the open market is a viable safety mechanism for a government that calculates its budget well but cannot predict emergencies or natural disasters. That it's honest borrowing from the public and other nations. Contract between lender and borrower. Not the deceit and embezzlement going on now with "off budget" entitlement surpluses. We need politicians who admit that the “third rail” of politics, the Social Security supplemental retirement system, has never been in trouble and has, in fact, been generating enormous profits for the pirates to plunder, $84.4 billion last year alone with more and bigger profits to come. That these profits are reaching phenomenal multiples in trillions that could, instead, be put to very beneficial use for today’s workers. Real pension plans in real trust funds similar to, but better than, the government’s own Thrift Savings Plan. A 1987 invention they developed for themselves. Such accounts would not be the “personal accounts” currently discussed like “let them eat cake.” We need a leader who will take the helm and admit that paying down the National Debt is currently a money laundering course set by Clinton to move debt from one credit card to another while the national debt actually rises like it did last year. Like a storm that’s been following us. Like it’s been rising every year of the last twenty years. Brought to us without apology by both political cults. We need a realistic course that will do what everybody wants done, pay down the debt, but do it without dishonesty and deception. Without stealing the American worker’s retirement and health care payments. Entitlements that should not be spent elsewhere. Entitlements that should be working for us, instead of against us. Against American workers and their future taxpayer children. There is no simplistic and honest way to pay off the national debt, especially in ten years. Ask any mortgage banker or go to any mortgage model on the Internet. You will probably have to drop six zeros, but add them back in when you get your answer. Payments of $350 billion per year, at the low interest rate of five percent, would take about 50 years to pay off $5.7 trillion. Be sure to figure in yearly payments, not monthly. In short, we need a leader who admits that real trust funds are already lock boxes. That the federal government has nothing but debit black hole accounts it merely labels as trust funds. And that the idea of “strengthening” or “extending the life” of Social Security by putting nonmarketable, non-tradable, nonsense bonds (promissory notes) in these accounts, in place of funds stolen, just creates more debt for future taxpayers. It’s double taxation, pure and simple, with interest added. It’s also the greatest, most heinous swindle and cover-up that has ever been inflicted on all citizens by their own government. See: |
