WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO RAISE OUR DEBT LIMIT?

     We hear much talk these days about our nation's debt, credit rating, deficits, spending cuts, sequester, billions of dollars, trillions of dollars, raising the debt limit, blah blah blah.  It all sounds so complicated and some of it can be tedious to understand.  However, it is actually very simple at its most basic form (anyone who tells you "well, it's complicated" doesn't want you to know the truth).  You may not realize it but we all manage a budget in our daily lives.  I think our government should as well, and you should care because they are managing your money.

DHS IS AT IT AGAIN!

The Department of Homeland Security has recently contracted $2 million worth of training targets from Law Enforcement Targets Inc. "What's so unusual about that?" you might say.  Well, these targets are labeled "No More Hesitation" targets and are considered "threat" targets, not "don't shoot" targets in the product description.  Check out a few of the targets below... Remember, these are real and our DHS agents are shooting at them during their training.

And one more thing.... YOU PAID FOR THEM.

Law Enforcement Targets Inc. has since removed these items from their products page but unfortunately for them, once something is out on the web it is difficult to fully remove it.

INFLATION - A BEDTIME STORY

I remember the first time I pondered inflation.  I was a junior in high school and my history teacher spoke about how things cost so much more now because of inflation.  He didn't elaborate but I remember thinking, "Can we NOT have inflation?  If so, how?"

Well, here we go...

In order to get re-elected, politicians realized the easiest way to get votes was to promise people "free" stuff.  Since nothing is really free, they would have to take money from some people to give the people that voted for them "free" stuff.  This was not popular; you could imagine if you were of the people who were losing money to the politicians to fulfill their promises.  

The politicians decided it would be easier if they promised people "free" stuff but instead of taking money from some people, they would just print money to satisfy the recipients of the "free" stuff without aggravating anyone else.  There was one problem with this, the group of politicians whom we will call "congress" were by law strictly prohibited from printing money : (   [Article 1, Section 8, U.S. Constitution]

Since congress couldn't print money : (  they hired a bank, whom we will call "The Federal Reserve," to print the money for them, that way they could have an endless supply of money to give out their freebies but were never actually printing the money themselves... they were so smart.  The nice men at the bank said they would do this as long as they were the only bank allowed to print the money and that they would be allowed to make the rules for other banks to follow.  There was one teensy-weensy problem with this however;  the bank would eventually need paid back and with interest too.  This wasn't too bad though because if congress needed more money, the nice men at the Federal Reserve would just print them more... Yippeeee!

You may be wondering... "What does this have to do with inflation? How does this make things more expensive today than in the old days?  How is my dollar not worth as much as it was for my grandpa?"  Let's think of it this way:

Let's say that oranges are very difficult to come by.  They only grow in certain areas of the world and it takes a measurable amount of work to get them.  This makes them valuable and rare.  They are nutritious and delicious which makes them desirable.  People decided to start trading oranges for other services like, "I'll give you 3 oranges to fix my toilet!" - "Great! I know how to fix toilets and I sure don't want to get scurvy!"

Now let's pretend that you have a magic wand and can make oranges appear out of thin air.  You could be the richest person in the world!  You make oranges by the truckload and start selling them, trading them, using them to stuff your mattress, heck you even just start giving them away because you are feeling generous and you have so many.  But soon something strange would happen.  Oranges wouldn't really be that desirable anymore and they wouldn't be very rare at all.  If your toilet broke you could offer to give someone oranges to come fix it but how many would you have to offer now?  Sure you would have single-handedly eradicated scurvy but I guess your offer would depend on how many oranges are being circulated across the world wouldn't it?

That is basically what has happened to your money...

GUN TEST ANSWERS.

1) IDENTIFY THE ASSAULT RIFLE:

(tricky question) Answer is NEITHER.  
Gun A and gun B are both Ruger 10/22's.  These are semi-automatic rifles (one bullet fired per trigger pull) and believe it or not, only differ in appearance.


2) IDENTIFY THE MACHINE GUN:

Answer is GUN A.  
Gun A is a Glock 18 which is a fully-automatic machine pistol. It can potentially fire all of the rounds it holds very rapidly with one pull of the trigger.  Gun B is an AR-15 which is a semi-automatic rifle, virtually identical in it's function to the Ruger 10/22 from question 1.

DID YOU KNOW?  Contrary to what you have been lead to believe, the AR-15 is NOT an assault rifle although it looks much like the M-16 or M-4 military assault rifles.  What makes it different from those you ask?

Assault Rifle - a rifle that fires an intermediate cartridge and has a select-fire capability to switch between automatic, burst, and semi-automatic fire.  It also uses a detachable magazine with various capacities.

GUN TEST:

1) IDENTIFY THE ASSAULT RIFLE:

                 A.                                                                  B.                                                                 

                                                                          

2) IDENTIFY THE MACHINE GUN:

                 A.                                                 B.

$16 Trillion is really a lot!

Our national debt is just a little over $16 trillion.  This might put it into perspective...

If people made $35,000 per year and they gave all of their income (100% of it) to the U.S. government to pay off the debt, how many people would have to work for one year to accomplish that?

Answer... 457,142,857 people.

Isn't the government it's own special interest?

Where has all the ammo gone?

Isn't it odd that our government recently purchased 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition?  You might say, "No. we are in at war in the Middle East you idiot!" 

True. But this 1.4 billion rounds of ammunition was purchased by our domestic federal agencies i.e. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security... yeah, bet you didn't know Social Security had armed agents running around.

Something else, these rounds that our government bought (with your money) were hollow-point bullets which are specially designed to do more damage to flesh and not go through a target to help minimize collateral damage.    

"I guess that makes sense," you might say, thinking that police wouldn't want to wound unintended targets.  Consider this, hollow-points are considered illegal by the Geneva Convention which has established war standards that the U.S. military adheres to.

So... who are our federal agencies planning to use anti-personnel ammunition against?

Convicted Rapist Organizes Anti-Gun Demonstration.

Copy of a letter I sent to Senator Sherrod Brown - OH

Senator Brown,

 

I recently received an email from you titled: Ensuring Ohioans Have the Paid Sick Days They Deserve.

I would like to remind you that the private contractual agreement between an employee and a business is none of your concern, no matter how sympathetic the subject may seem. 

In part of the message of the email you said,

"Illness costs our national economy $226 billion annually in lost productivity."

A Senator who meddles in the private affairs of Ohioans instead of passing a budget (3.5 years)...costs me $174,000 annually in lost productivity!

What would happen if I were hired to maintain the financial affairs of a company and I went 3.5 years without even having a budget? I probably wouldn't even last 3.5 weeks but the truth of the matter is, I would be fired.

Please stop wasting my money, get back to work, and pass a budget!
