Quotes From Thomas Jefferson.........

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

"I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816.

"Everything predicted by the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is now coming to pass. We are to be ruined now by the deluge of bank paper. It is cruel that such revolutions in private fortunes should be at the mercy of avaricious adventurers, who, instead of employing their capital, if any they have, in manufactures, commerce, and other useful pursuits, make it an instrument to burden all the interchanges of property with their swindling profits, profits which are the price of no useful industry of theirs." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814.

"The art and mystery of banks... is established on the principle that 'private debts are a public blessing.' That the evidences of those private debts, called bank notes, become active capital, and aliment the whole commerce, manufactures, and agriculture of the United States. Here are a set of people, for instance, who have bestowed on us the great blessing of running in our debt about two hundred millions of dollars, without our knowing who they are, where they are, or what property they have to pay this debt when called on."
"The treasury, lacking confidence in the country, delivered itself bound hand and foot to bold and bankrupt adventurers and bankers pretending to have money, whom it could have crushed at any moment…These jugglers were at the feet of government. For it was not, any confidence in their frothy bubbles, but the lack of all other money, which induced…people to take their paper" -- Thomas Jefferson, October 1815 letter to (former) Treasury Secretary, Albert Gallatin.

"I own it to be my opinion, that good will arise from the destruction of our credit. I see nothing else which can restrain our disposition to luxury, and to the change of those manners which alone can preserve republican government. As it is impossible to prevent credit, the best way would be to cure its ill effects by giving an instantaneous recovery to the creditor. This would be reducing purchases on credit to purchases for ready money. A man would then see a prison painted on everything he wished, but had not ready money to pay for." --Thomas Jefferson to Archibald Stuart, 1786.

"If the debt which the banking companies owe be a blessing to anybody, it is to themselves alone, who are realizing a solid interest of eight or ten per cent on it. As to the public, these companies have banished all our gold and silver medium, which, before their institution, we had without interest, which never could have perished in our hands, and would have been our salvation now in the hour of war; instead of which they have given us two hundred million of froth and bubble, on which we are to pay them heavy interest, until it shall vanish into air... We are warranted, then, in affirming that this parody on the principle of 'a public debt being a public blessing,' and its mutation into the blessing of private instead of public debts, is as ridiculous as the original principle itself. In both cases, the truth is, that capital may be produced by industry, and accumulated by economy; but jugglers only will propose to create it by legerdemain tricks with paper." --Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813.

"The Bank of the United States is one of the most deadly hostilities existing, against the principles and form of our Constitution. An institution like this, penetrating by its branches every part of the Union, acting by command and in phalanx, may, in a critical moment, upset the government. I deem no government safe which is under the vassalage of any self-constituted authorities, or any other authority than that of the nation, or its regular functionaries. What an obstruction could not this bank of the United States, with all its branch banks, be in time of war! It might dictate to us the peace we should accept, or withdraw its aids. Ought we then to give further growth to an institution so powerful, so hostile?" --Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1803.

      Regulating Banking Institutions

"The principle of rotation... in the body of [bank] directors... breaks in upon the espirit de corps so apt to prevail in permanent bodies; it gives a chance for the public eye penetrating into the sanctuary of those proceedings and practices, which the avarice of the directors may introduce for their personal emolument, and which the resentments of excluded directors, or the honesty of those duly admitted, might betray to the public; and it gives an opportunity at the end of the year, or at other periods, of correcting a choice, which on trial, proves to have been unfortunate." --Thomas Jefferson to Albert Gallatin, 1803.

      Paper Speculation

"A spirit... of gambling in our public paper has seized on too many of our citizens, and we fear it will check our commerce, arts, manufactures, and agriculture, unless stopped." --Thomas Jefferson to William Carmichael, 1791.

"Our public credit is good, but the abundance of paper has produced a spirit of gambling in the funds, which has laid up our ships at the wharves as too slow instruments of profit, and has even disarmed the hand of the tailor of his needle and thimble. They say the evil will cure itself. I wish it may; but I have rarely seen a gamester cured, even by the disasters of his vocation." --Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 1791.

GM Repaid Government Loan Ahead of Schedule 

 

 

So how has GM, which lost $38 billion in 2007 even as it sold 9.4 million cars, paid back its debt? It took money from the escrow account to pay back the $6.7 billion loan.  Do you remember when you were a kid and your parents gave you $20 to buy them a Christmas present? You bought them something worth $3 and pocketed the rest? That's what GM has just done.  Oh, and do you remember when you hit your parents up for college? GM has applied for a $10 billion, low-interest loan from the government to modernize its plants so its cars will meet new federal mileage standards.

They should run this one...........

Senate Bill 510

Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, has been called “the most dangerous bill in the history of the United States of America.” It would grant the U.S. government new authority over the public’s right to grow, trade and transport any foods. This would give Big brother the power to regulate the tomato plants in your backyard. It would grant them the power to arrest and imprison people selling cucumbers at farmer’s markets. It would criminalize the transporting of organic produce if you don’t comply with the authoritarian rules of the federal government

Is this fuckin crazy !!!!

"Do you have a permit for that tomato plant".........
"Susan, did you pay the garden tax yet" ........ 
"The fed guys were here to check the size of the carrots you are growing and found you have 3 cucumber plants that are not on the Food Safety Modernization form and they also said that a dog shit is within 12' of the food growing safety zone........ I told you to pick up Morgan's shit"

Interest On The National Debt

This always gives me a chuckle.

Back in 1988 the US debt was $2,602,337,712,041.16  (That's $2.6 trillion).

In 1988 it cost us $214,145,028,847.73   ($214 billion) in interest costs to carry that debt.

The yield on treasury bills/notes (US Savings Bonds) is what determines our interest rates.

In 1988 the average 10 year yield was 8.85%.   Today it is 2.62%.


As of September 30, 2010  (the end of fiscal year) our debt stood at $13,561,623,030,891.79  ($13.5 trillion buckaroos).
In 2010 it costs us $413,954,825,362.17 ($413 billion pieces of paper) to finance it.

Here comes the funny part..............
If we had to pay......... like lets say the US didn't have the Federal Reserve to buy $600 billion over the next 8 months to purchase all those little IOU's that the treasury will be issuing.......and we had to rely on other nations to buy our debt so we could pay for our military...... food stamps..... roads.....unemployed........mortgages......Wall Street bonuses..........on and on......those nations would demand higher interest on the junk they are buying.
If we had to pay, the same rate of 8.85% like we did back in 1988  then it would costs us around $1.3 trillion just to for the interest on the debt outstanding.
That's more than all the federal income taxes and corporate taxes we take in now.
And more than $2 trillion if we had to pay the same yields as we did back in 1981.
That, my friends, is close to all federal revenue........ in other words all taxes would go to paying for stuff we already used.

Should I mention how back in March of 2002 they stopped issuing 30 year treasuries till March of 2005 and how a vast majority of our debt was and still is sold in bills and short term notes? That means as we find it harder and harder to find NEW buyers for the debt we are creating, we will also need to find buyers to replace those maturing securities.
OK I won't.

What the fuck are we gonna do in 8 months when QE2 is done? Who is gonna buy our debt? And what will the costs be?
And the fucktards just came out with the plan to save $200 billion a year but it won't start till 2012.

UNREAL.

The democratic party, the republican party, the tea party, the peanut butter and jelly party not even Sarah Palin can save us from what is on the horizon.
Get your protest attire ready, within a few years we will need it. Watch Europe and study the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Make The Old Farts Work

Work till ya drop.

Boehner said he'd favor increasing the Social Security retirement age to 70 for people who have at least 20 years until retirement, tying cost-of-living increases to the consumer price index rather than wage inflation, and limiting payments to those who need them.

"I got a Boner" then goes on to tell us how broke the US is...............

"We need to look at the American people and explain to them that we're broke," Boehner said. "If you have substantial non-Social Security income while you're retired, why are we paying you at a time when we're broke? We just need to be honest with people."

I have no problem with spending cuts. But.......but the cuts MUST be across the board.

Asked about funding the war in Afghanistan, given his dire view of the government's financial condition, he replied: "How can we afford not to? The number one responsibility of the federal government ... is to provide security to the American people. As difficult as it is and as expensive as it is, we don't have a choice."

Fuckin,  "I got a Boner" is tellin the old farts to stop complainin or he will take away the handicripple parking spots at all Wal-Marts.
Whats mo important.......... Haliburton, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Exxon/Mobil......... or some old fart that has to collect the shopping carts at Wal-Mart in order to make ends meet?
Exactly......... defense contractors.
It costs big bucks for our 700+ military bases spread out in the 130 out of 194 nations on this planet.
Waaaaayyyyy more important than grandma and grandpa. Besides, all they do is nap and play bingo. Boring.
Our military protects us from those evil doers and that guy Al..........Al.........oh crap I always forget his last name........then how about his cousin Bin........ uhmmm  Bin ........ ahfugetaboutit.

Northrop warship gets failing combat grade

A US$1 billion-plus warship developed by Northrop Grumman Corp is ineffective and unsuitable for combat, according to the Pentagon, dealing a blow to the company as it looks to sell its shipbuilding unit.


Michael Gilmore, the Pentagon's top weapons tester, assessed the LPD-17 amphibious warfare ship as being "not effective, not suitable, and not survivable in a combat situation," a Defense Department spokeswoman said.
Defence Secretary Robert Gates has repeatedly questioned the future of such forcible U.S. landings, "especially as advances in anti-ship systems keep pushing the potential launch point further from shore," as he put it in May.


OK, so they won't work for us........

It gets better...


The first three ships of the class - San Antonio, New Orleans and Mesa Verde - have successfully completed overseas deployments, the Navy said.
 
WTF????

The Navy's current five-year shipbuilding plan calls for buying an 11th and final LPD-17 in fiscal 2012, which starts Oct. 1, 2011, but Congress has not approved this.

The Navy estimates the price tag of the 11th ship at just over US$2 billion, according to an Oct. 4 report by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.
