Although I receive the newspaper 4 days a week, I seldom look at more than the sports page for information on the University of Connecticut Women’s basketball team and the comics.
This morning while cleaning part of the refrigerator and cooking up some vegetable soup and rice, I looked over some of Sunday’s paper. I saved out 4 things:
1. an article titled – “Right back to the drawing board” which discussed the GOP and the tea party activists’ movement.
2. an article titled – “Fuel Cells Need a Way to shine”
3. an article titled – “Give up spending for 4 weeks? It can be done”
4. a listing of the next UConn basketball games. The men’s team has some talented players and they just can’t seem to get 5 of them playing well at the same time. They play #8, West Virginia tonight and I want to watch parts of it.
“Right back to the drawing board” was about the movement by conservatives to get the Republican party back on track and hopefully stop the madness our Federal government is exhibiting.
Perhaps congress and the president should read my 3rd article and try not to spend any money for 4 weeks.
If I spend money I don’t have because I can force others to pay my debt for me (taxes) and print money out of thin air (like the Federal Reserve – which is NOT part of the government, by the way) I could have a lot of fun.
I could always hope that others will continue to pay their taxes, like good boys and girls so I can continue with my reckless spending.
I could also hope that those same people will continue to allow the Federal Reserve to print billions of new “funny” money.
I say “funny” money because it’s only value is the paper and ink used to print it and that totals only pennies, no matter what denomination they print.
Actually, I guess it’s not so “funny” as the more they print the less value your dollars have (often referred to as inflation). It is a good thing very few people care enough to do something about my reckless spending.
If enough of them do become concerned then I can declare martial law, call in the military and throw their butts in jail or worse. Boy, for your sakes, I hope the military does what’s right and ignores the orders from me, their commander-in-chief.
I do want this sweet deal to continue. After all I like spending, spending, spending, power, power, power.
Sorry, I got carried away there for a moment with my wealth and power.
I had mentioned before that one newsletter I always read in by Robert Ringer. His post today was very good as it touched on what my first article had to say. You can read it at http://blog.robertringer.com/ and is titled Saying Yes to the Party of No.
Another person I have been following lately is Glenn Beck, another ultra conservative. He is mentioned in the first article I read.
Ryan Hecker was also mentioned as a tea party activist who has set up a website at http://contractfromamerica.com. He is for abolishing the Department of Education, dismantling the IRS and establishing an official U.S. language.
Perhaps I will end now and look at his website.
Tomorrow I will briefly review article #2 and then Wednesday see how I can curb my spending for 4 weeks as mentioned in article #3.
