We all agree that the Newtown tragedy was just that "Tragic". We also agree that there needs to be something in place to help minimize the instances of these types of things from happening again! Notice that I did not say "prevent these things from happening". You cannot prevent these things from happening, as evil people will always be evil. There are some seriously sick people out there, and it's not Nintendos fault, or Smith and Wesson either, it's mental health. Massachusetts (D) governor Deval Patrick is joining ranks with the White House in what I am calling, "Gun Grab 2013". This is the beginning of the 2nd American Revolution, coincidentally enough over the 2nd amendment. See slowly they chip, chip, chip away at the stone, until it changes to fit the new mold! A lawyer friend of mine said that the Constitution is a living , breathing document, and I must say I could not disagree more! The Constitution is dying right before our eyes, and we are allowing this dysfunctional Government to act as the Hand that pulls the plug on life support! Disarm the lawful, and then bankrupt them , or is it the other way around, we'll excuse the USA for not knowing the protocol for enslaving it's citizens....It has not done this before! I want to hug my kids, and say I am sorry, but they will not understand! I am sorry, because had I known the direction this country was headed when We had them, we may have reconsidered? I was poor as a child, and my wife and I have worked hard to get ahead, and start to build a great little reserve, and you know what? At the rate this Government spends my money, and your money, there should be something in it for us, and for our kids futures...right now there is not! If you will not tolerate a undercooked steak at a restaurant, or a car that breaks down right after you buy it, why in the World should we tolerate a Government that works for us, working against us? It is unfortunately time to stand up, and say enough is enough! Guns do not kill innocent people! Guns do not kill children! Mr President, if you really want to earn the Nobel Peace Prize that you won, stop ordering drone attacks overseas, that have killed scores of innocent people (children too) . One last point..... Spending money that you do not have is against the law! Stop stealing from my family, and friends, to pay for stuff we do not need, and can no longer afford. Since the start of the year I have watched our combined take home pay drop by a significant amount, but as the lier and chief stated, I will not raise taxes......horse$hit! The Government lies, they are disarming you, and bankrupting you, and soon they will be __________________ you! Fill in the blank!

What's your debt ceiling?

So the fiscal cliff kind of reminds me of the movie speed, the part where the bus with the bomb on it needs to jump a gap in the road in order to keep going. Well in all reality, our country is on that same road, but the problem is the road we are on is a shovel ready one, and it's not as shovel ready as we thought. OOOOPSIE! What is your debt ceiling? See we avoided one crisis temporarily, and I stress temporarily because it will be coming back soon. On Monday January 7 we will hit the debt ceiling! What is the debt ceiling? The debt ceiling is a moving target, that the Federal Government cannot avoid, because they all have a spending habit! They are chronic spenders, and the problem with that is they are spending your money! Imagine having just won the lottery, and you have all of this wealth at your fingertips. Are you going to hesitate to buy that new Porshe, or house? Probably not, because you can pay for it. Now imagine that years of that luxury, that lifestyle become normal, because you conditioned yourself to living that way, and all of a sudden you realize that you have spent all of that money, and are now in a hole that you cannot get out of! That is the life story of our now bankrupt Government! We cannot pay back our debt, and at this point our government is not even trying to figure out a solution, they have simply just given up! Growing up, my father (God rest his soul) was in fact an alcoholic, and after years of living in that lifestyle my mother (God rest her soul as well) quit trying to make my dad stop drinking, and just accepted and loved him for what he was. That's how we are as a country with our many times over elected officials. We have done exactly what my mother did, but on a much larger scale. We are as much to blame as the politicians, because we have given them access to our checkbooks, and pretty soon, your account will be worthless! My debt ceiling is one that actually allows me to responsibly pay back the money I borrow, and still have money to put away for savings etc... What am I saving for? A rainy day, and guess what, we are suddenly becoming a tropical rain forest, during it's rainy season! I really wanted to start the year off on a happy note, and not be Dr. Doom as my wife calls me, however,Honesty is not just a Billy Joel song, and because it's hardly ever heard from our government anymore, I figured I would be honest and tell you that it is indeed time to "Panic". The sky is not falling, but the ceiling will come crashing down soon, get out of the house before you get crushed!

Happy Same Year!

2012 was another one for the record books. From unprecedented spending, to unprecedented disasters, we have now set a new precedent! As the ball dropped in Times Square, another ball was dropped on Capital Hill. The illusion that the government was hard at work for us on New Years Eve, fixes nothing! We are headed for the fiscal cliff, make no doubt about that, it just might not happen now util next month! I am labeling this year the year of the dragging! Dragging us down into the abyss! The low interest rates right now will do nobody any good when your money is not worth the paper it is printed on. Let's put it this way.....how long could you and your family survive just using credit cards? When your income is let's say $100,000. and your take home is $70,000., but your yearly expenses are $100,000. Eventually the banks will cut you off, because you cannot make the monthly payments, and then it's all down hill, or off the fiscal cliff! I do not want to be all depressing, but does anyone think that this charade can keep going for infinity? My recommendation is that you educate yourself on the coming crisis, and start reading the government docs, and budgets/bills as they are made public. If you read these documents carefully, so will see that I am not paranoid, you will see it in black and white for yourself that we are in fact fiscally doomed! Happy New Year!
