The American Debt...and a terrorism

The American, economy is in shambles. When the current national debt is in the 9 Trillion dollar USD range, and the deficit is near 450 Billion, you know we have problems. But the problems are just beginning...

Why are they just beginning? Its pretty simple when you look at it. Today President George 'Dubya' Bush asked Congress for 700 Billion dollars USD to Bailout the American economy. What will this do to our national debt?

It will raise the statuary debt limit from its current limit 10.6 trillion to 11.3 trillion dollars USD.

Crazy, no. Outrageous. When your GDP is only around 15 trillion dollars USD and you have over half of that in debt. Your nation will face serious economic issues.

While I won't rehash what I said earlier in the week, I will talk about 'what ifs' with this bailout deal.

What If It Works?: If it works, thank God. With the bailout program (full info here http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,425672,00.html) the U.S government will be able to buyout every sub-prime mortgage and help maintain, and control what happens to them. Also this will help us avoid, our worse economic disaster since the Great Depression. Lets all pray that this gets passed soon and that it get helps our nations economy. At least in the short term...

What If It Fails?: To put it short. We're fucked. The nation will likely fall into a long and powerful recession or worse, a Depression. And it wouldn't just be a problem in the U.S. It will affect the world markets just as bad. Again lets hope that it works. We don't want it to fail. We need this.

Just a small quick tidbit about a terror attack in Pakistan.

A huge truck bomb devastated the Marriott Hotel in Pakistan's capital Saturday, creating a chaotic, fiery scene as rescue crews searched for survivors. At least 60 people reportedly have been reported killed and more than 120 injured.

Will this effect the United States? Maybe and maybe not. But one things remains true, as I've mentioned before. Terrorism is real, it exists and it still threatens the world. We must stay vigilant and help our allies whenever and wherever they need it.

Believe in the war....not necessarily Iraq. But the Global War On Terror.

The Donald Endources McCain/Palin For President

Well...who expected this? I sure as hell didn't. When you think of a man who knows how the economy works you think of people like Donald Trump and Warren Buffet.

So why would someone like Mr. Trump pick John McCain as his choice for President of the United States? Simple.

The Donald knows who the fuck can get things done and he knows the man that can lead this country into the 21st century.

I believe that something like this speaks volumes. Why? Obama is known to have a better economic plan than Mr. McCain. So why would a man who plays and lives off of the market pick McCain?

Obama's plan won't work.(again thank the do nothing congress)

McCain's plan makes sense. It can be done. The taxes can and will be lowered. Unlike the tax increases that Obama must do to make his plans work.(if they ever got passed)

McCain...he'll make the nation better. Obama...who knows.

Fuckin' Terrorists....and Bin Laden: Drill Baby Drill...

The Perspective:

Well if any of you watched CNN, MSNBC, or FOX news today two things were top stories. As stated yesterday, the complete fucking downfall of the United States and her economy(The DOW continues to fall currently down around 275 points as I sit down to write this and most likely will continue to fall more) and the Al Qaeda attack of the U.S Embassy in Yemen.

If you know a damn thing about Al Qadea and Bin Laden(most don't) you know that his family ancestry comes from Yemen.(Not to mention the founder of Al Qadea(Its not Bin Laden) is also from this area)

In the last three years, this U.S Embassy has been attacked 4 times, the most recent coming this past March.(Does anyone remember that?) In today's attack it was an ambush.

As usual they began the attack with a suicide car bomber(enjoy the virgins buddy, haha) which was one of four explosions that went off near the embassy. In congruence with the four explosions, militants hit the compound with automatic rifle fire as well as long range sniper fire. All of this comes from a U.S. State Department Official I spoke to prior to writing today's blog.

The body count is currently 10 civilians and Yemeni Police Officers were killed along with the six(6) militants that attacked the compound were killed.(nice job leathernecks)

To me this means one fucking thing. It seems that(as I've told people before) no matter what we do in Iraq, and Afghanistan Al Qadea will continue to work at an effective level. The only way to 'cut the head off of the snake' is to get approval from Pakistan and enter the nation with SF OD teams and remove the terror training camps in the area.(This is just a start, want a more in depth explanation e-mail me at captaincgray@yahoo.com)

This also shows that we as a nation, and as a world are still at risk of terror attacks. Certain measures must be renewed and must be created to protect our nation and our allies all around the world. Fuck whatever Russia says. Place that mother fucking Ballistic Missile Defense Shield over the EU now. And tell Putin to go suck a dick.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIN LADEN: NOT IN CHARGE

According to the CIA Director, intelligence that was just released to the public that says Bin Laden is no longer in charge of the day to day activities of Al Qaeda. According to the Director its because all he has time for is to survive. And that this survival is getting tougher by the day.

What do I say? Well I say that its about fucking time. Just maybe, again I say maybe were getting closer to this fucker. Is it possible? Sure, I've been to the Kush Mountains and I know for a fact that there is only so many fucking places that this fucker can hide.

Keep it up boys...find that fucker and bring back his head.

OFFSHORE DRILLING: PASSED

Amazing. Mark your calenders. the 110th Congress finally did something. They passed an very small offshore drilling plan that will allow the oil companies and our government to drill 150 miles offshore or the United States.

Is it enough? Fuck no.

We need to be able to drill within 10 miles of our nation...where the most fucking oil is. Not this fucking 'fraudulent bill'. Not to mention we need to allow the people who own 'Stripper Wells' on the land of the United States to get better tech to allow us to lower out imports by two supertankers a year, if they made just 1! more barrel of oil a day.(Again thank Congress's corrupt ass and all the fucking lobbyists)

Its Official: The United States Is A Fucking Mess


The Perspective:

Yesterday AIG's stock plummeted. Merryl Lynch, was bought by The Bank Of America. The DOW Industrial Average fell over 550 points. The NASDAQ fell nearly 100. America was rocked, and it wasn't because of any terrorist attack, or a hurricane(InTexas, Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio) a war or any real government fuck up. What caused this to happen is very simple...bad business, poor judgment and the total destruction of the Middle Class of the United States of America.

Just 16 years ago the American Middle Class was booming.(Thank You Ronald Reagan) But then a man named William Clinton entered office and things began to slide. Say what you want. Things like, he gave us a surplus of money, he helped America, he didn't send us to war(he should have) and it all means nothing. The 'average American' doesn't look at the big picture. They are selfish and ignorant, and simply care for nothing and no one but themselves and their family. They should care for someone other than themselves and their family. This started happening once Clinton entered office and it was because of one thing...

NAFTA: North American Free Trade Agreement

So why did NAFTA begin to destroy the American way of life and the way we live? Well it all began with this 'Free Trade' idea. While, very much like Communism on paper this is a fantastic idea. But when we give it to politicians and we allow them to change things, it becomes something entirely different.

To begin we when NAFTA was signed had...little to no debt or deficit. With the trade being done between Mexico, Canada, and the United States with are tariffs we made money. Once these trade tariffs were eliminated we began to lose money, and operate in the red.

Now, if your a business man(Clinton was a known Lobbyist for Big Business) this is a huge benefit for you. Why? It saves you money in a number of ways. While I won't go into detail here(unless I'm asked to in a reaction) this was when American jobs began to be sent overseas and to our Southern and Northern neighbors, Mexico and Canada respectively.

If you go and check where the parts and the majority of the cars made by both Ford, GM, and Dodge are made you'll notice one thing. They aren't made in the United States. They are made in Canada and Mexico. Why?

Simple, we Americans are again greedy, and selfish. We want 20 bucks a hour to do what a Canadian or a Mexican will do for 10 bucks or less an hour USD. Why? Because, unlike us, they need the jobs. They'll take anything. They come here for jobs...why do we send our jobs to them?

Its reasons like NAFTA and other trade agreements with nations like China, and India for example that has destroyed the American Middle Class. Without a Middle Class, your nation will no NOWHERE. You must have a part of your nation that can be in debt and still survive. The Middle Class is key for every nation in the world and it is quickly becoming no existent.

Everyday, the separation between rich and poor becomes bigger. But it isn't just NAFTA that you can blame...in the rest of this post I'll explain the reasons why the nation is on its way to hell and the ONLY way that it can attempt to regain it status of the World Superpower. At this point in time and the shape that the United States of America is in the World Superpower...in our great trade partner; The People's Republic Of China.(Fuck That)

Part 2: Congress

If you were to do a nationwide survey of the United States you'd find that roughly only 17% of the American people like and believe that Congress is doing a good job. And if you'd look deeper into the polls you'd realize that the 17% of people who ike what Congress is doing is a member of the Upper Class and more than likely a member of Big Business.

When we have fucking Congressmen and women, as well a Senators who have been in Congress for 25+ years and ones that have brain tumors but still work, we have some huge fucking problems.

I'll tell you right now. Every single member of Congress is corrupt...all of them. Don't even try to find one that isn't. You'd be wasting your time and mine. That one person doesn't exist.

And why is this? It's pretty simple. To quote the Good Book, "Money is the root of all evil.."

When 'Big Fucking Oil' and 'Big Fucking Business' gives a Congressmen or a Senator hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby for them...they do. Because they want the money, they want the power. For the reason that they were put in office by their people, and their plans for their state...well they just no longer fucking care.

They Give Up On Helping America...They Only Help Themselves.

So how do you stop this? And how do you rebuild America's Middle Class? I'll tell you that its suck as fuck not any type of Stimulus Plan that any government fuckhead comes up with. It will involve very drastic changes to the Final Law of this nation.

Changes To The United States Constitution.

According to the United States Constitution Senator terms last 6 years and they can be elected any number of times. For the House Of Representatives they are elected every 2 years and can be elected any number of times. Which means, that you can serve in Congress as long as you can get your corrupt ass fucking elected.

Its Wrong.

The President can only serve in officer for a maximum of 2 terms totaling 8 years in office. This is in place to limit the power of the President and to inject new ideas into the nations highest office.

We need TERM LIMITS in Congress for the SAME fucking reason. This will LIMIT power and fucking INJECT NEW IDEAS into the United States of America. We need this now...right now.

But with both Presidential Candidates being part of this Fucked Up system. The change won't happen in the next 4 years or even the next 8. The current 9 trillion (with a T) national debt won't go down...only up. The deficit will only increase as well.( its at nearly 500 Billion)

Reform...seems to be the word for this election. NO reform will happen, no matter who gets elected. Again thank Congress...don't blame the President. And lets just hope and pray that someone like Ronald Reagan shows up in the next 12 years and gives us hope and shows the leadership ability that is needed to change this nation.

For now make your choice...choose the lesser of the two evils in this election and hope that America makes the right choice too. Not that it really matters, for as long as we have the same fucking people in Congress nothing will change. And don't even get me started on the need of a third political party in this nation...or Iraq.
