The most prescient — and chilling — of all the science fiction stories ever written, though, is “The Marching Morons,” by Cyril M. Kornbluth, first published in 1951. It should be required reading in every school on Earth.

The point that Kornbluth makes is simple, and scary: dumbbells have more children than geniuses. In “The Marching Morons” he carries that idea to its extreme, but logical, conclusion.

Kornbluth tells of a future world that is overrun with dummies: men and women who don’t know anything beyond their own shallow personal interests. They don’t know how their society works, or who is running it. All they care about is their personal — and immediate — gratification.

A comedy with similar reference....Watch the trailer......click me

Democrats To Seek Stunning $1.9 Trillion Increase In Debt Ceiling To $14.3 Trillion

WTF is going on?
When Reagan increased our debt from $1 trillion to $3 trillion, I was shocked.
And I couldn't believe we stood by and watched Dingbat Dubya as he increased it from $5.5 to $10.5....... but come on folks.....enough is enough. We are at $12.4 trillion now and they want to increase it by another $1.9 trillion? That will be 100% of our GDP. Shame on us.

Funny how back when dumbass Bush was pickin his ass the dems screamed that we were passing this debt on to our kids, future generations, and the response from republicans.......Dick the prick said "Reagan proved deficits don't matter" and Bush backed him with "deficits are good".
Times have changed.
Republicans are now the cry babies crying about the deficits, and our debt, and the dems are.....the dems are saying..........wtf are the dems saying.....oh ya they are saying let's spend more.

Japan anyone? Mish has a good article on Japan. Check it out
Speaking of Japan, home values there have gone down for the last 20 years. Very interesting chart.
That's why I feel RE is toast here also, cuz we are going down the same road. With the costs associated with homeownership, property taxes, maintenance and what many seem to overlook......the cost to borrow, it won't be a good investment for many, many moons.

Japan and the US both have ZIRP (zero interest rate policy) and once that is implemented there is no escape.

    Men are controlling cuz they are smarter.
    You should only have 2 dogs, a gray duck and a ring tailed lemur from Madagascar.
