MY APOLOGY TOUR

As a follow-up to the Obama Apology tour, I would like to offer my own apology tour. I would like to apologize to England for our actions in 1776 when we mistakenly believed that we did not want tyranny and an oppressive government. Little did we know at that time that we would do a 180 degree turn. I would like to apology to Europe for our participation in WWI. I would like to apologize to Europe a second time for our participation in WWII and the Marshall plan that greatly helped in rebuilding your countries. We thought that Nazism, Fascism, socialism was evil. Little did we know that Europe would embrace socialism even though it has never been as successful as capitalism. I would like to apologize to South Korea for helping to avert communist North Korea and China from overrunning you country. I would like to apologize to Vietnam for the actions of JFK and LBJ for their deceptions that got us into a war we should not have been involved with. I would like to apologize to Kuwait for assisting other countries in removing the Iraq army from your country. I would like to apologize to Afghanistan, Iraq and those who lost their lives on 9/11 for engaging in a war to destroy Al Qaeda and the Taliban who contributed to that tragedy. I would like to apologize to the world for all humanitarian aid we have provided the world throughout our existence. I would also like to apologize to the world for President Obama and promise to correct that mistake in November 2012.

The Republican Debate and Ron Paul

After watching the Republican debate in Iowa I can say that Ron Paul must be smoking something new. To say that Iran should have a nuclear weapon if they want one definitely means he must be using something. A country, Iran, that has just about pledged to destroy Israel and the United States, their number 1 and 2 enemies, means that Ron Paul either just when through a time warp or his knowledge of what Iran represents since 1979 to today is lacking. This we do not need in the White House. It is bad enough with what we have today. I like Ron Paul when he discusses the Fed. Reserve, but it looks like that is where it ends.

S & P and Downgrade

This administration refuses to take responsibility for the rising debt as well as their economic policies contributing to the S&P downgrade. At first they blamed the previous administration and when the public got tired of hearing that, they are now attacking the Tea Party for their failures. If my memory is correct, I don’t think the Tea Party is responsible for all this accumulated debt. I believe it has to do with reckless spending by Congress, this administration and previous administrations of both parties that over the years have refused to admit that there is a spending problem, not an income problem. Congress has refused to address the so called entitlement issues, so instead they throw everything to a commission to avoid responsibility. Sound familiar. Increasing taxes is the Democrat mantra without any massive spending cuts that would actually reduce the deficit from the projected $17 Trillion to the 2008 levels for starters and not over 10 years, but within 3 years just like this administration has raised the debt to these historical levels in just under 3 years.

Winners and losers in the Debt battle

The winners were the Democrats and Republicans who can continue to spend us into oblivion under the disguise that they have cut spending. When the budget has a built in annual increase of between 7 and 10 % any cuts claimed is really just smoke and mirrors. We are led to believe that cuts are being made. Yet if you really look at it and say instead of spending $100,000 we will spend only $90,000 and save ourselves 10% and sell it to the American public as a cut in spending. The real losers are the American people as we continue to see the debt ceiling rising, no cap in spending and actual real cuts in spending, like cutting the budget back to 2004 levels as a beginning and addressing the real cause of our debt problems that is the minefield of politics, Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. Our politicians would rather see our country destroyed than address these issues for fear of not getting re-elected. After all, that is what it is all about, getting re-elected, getting your party members elected and taking care of your big donors and family and friends. Somewhere, they will think about the country, but that is only a quick thought that may cross their minds when the accidentally have a thought about the mess they have created. After all, they are getting paid approximately $174, 000 each year with benefits, travel, staff and other expenses that we can only dream about. So do you really think they want to lose that. Of the 535 members of Congress only about 35 actually are concerned about the never ending deficit, but they are not part of the establishment within their party and are considered outcast. Either you play ball their way or you will get no acknowledgement.
