Lifting the veil on we use credit when we cant afford it?

 My comment to Huffington Posts Article by Mark Gongloff titled Household Debt Is Still Too Damn High.

Without jobs, without good paying jobs, or for those of us that are unemployed, we use what little we can manage to find, to scrap up, or to borrow. Those Americans that are using credit and going farther in debt are people trying feed themselves, their spouses and their children. To keep a roof over their heads, their spouses and their children; the scary part is soon, the credit will stop for those as their balances bloom and interest and interests rates soar...and then what?

So many communities in America suffer under this plague. As they keep all of us Middle Class, Working Class Poor and the Poor at each others throats, fighting over abortions and gun control laws, instead of fighting against the Profiteering Banks, Wall Street and their Cronies on the Left and the Right in our Government.

I hope one day soon, we all will be able to wake up and see thorough the smoke and the wool that has been pulled over our eyes, to change this road we are on...a road to servitude and debtors prisons. I didnt join the Military in my youth for this kind of history and future...this is not the America I grew up believing in.

Perhaps soon the tide will turn and those spirits that have been broken within our fellow men and women, will find the strength to right our wrongs and remove all the money from politics; those that have been bought, those that serve only their greed...”

Dear Mr. Manning, an apology that you deserve.

Dear Mr. Manning,

It is I who would like to apologize to you. Im sorry. I am sorry that more people in America did not have the courage to stand with you and behind you. For these wars were created on lies only to perpetuate our War Machine and the Greed of the 1% and their Cronies. I am sorry that more of us Veterans did not find the courage to do so either. I served in combat during the Persian Gulf War. I am sorry that our politics of interference and destabilization techniques towards Middle Eastern Countries put you and your brother and sisters at harm, yet again, causing you to take this enormous risk to stand behind the the 'real' values that America likes to say she believes in; even though we are a "Do as I say, not as I do" Country.

You stood up for the real values of human life and we turned our backs on you...especially those of us on the Left. For its not so hard to understand why those on the Right fall in tow behind the Puppet Masters. But for those of us on the Left, we should all be ashamed that we did not take to the streets and scream at Washington for the actions that they are involved in, and in your defense.

My apologizes to you, and your family.  Eternally grateful to you and ashamed of what we did not do for you.

Fear becomes us; Government response is we cant keep you safe unless we take away.

Talk about a speech to insight FEAR among us. We cant PROTECT you UNLESS we STRIPE you of some of your PERSONAL FREEDOMS...

Im worried how easily we are falling for this line of BS in this country. Terrorism, Terrorists, are part of everyday life in most BIG CITIES in America. But all of a sudden we need to lose freedoms for our Government Agencies to do their jobs efficiently.

Now for those of you who will say or question that people in Big Cities, and in smaller ones and rural America too, are NOT living with Terrorism in their lives everyday...what do you think the GANGs are? They do random acts of violence, hold hostages, sell drugs, blow up cars, shoot innocent people, etc. I think this by definition is terrorism. I havent seen anything out of our Government that would justify listening in on EVERYONE in order to catch a few; or has our CIA, FBI, etc, become inferior and incompetent that they can no longer trace or track those people on known terror lists? I mean we let the 9/11 hijacker have VISA's into our country. They were on WATCH lists. We, our government ALLOWED them into our borders. They were not American citizens trying to do this. So now, all of a sudden we have to listen to everyone to follow just a few...for shame that we find this acceptable.

Another small Rant against those that believe in Paul Ryan's Budget...

I, dont know if I should laugh out loud like a lunatic or crumble upon myself and cry like a little girl...what is wrong with our country? how can we believe we are the greatest country in the world; when we demonize the poor, allow children and adults to starve, and turn our backs on our seniors, on those that worked so hard to make this country great and raise us within it?

We are preached to constantly, that this country was founded on Christian principles and that what is wrong today with America, is that we removed GOD from our lives, our schools and our Government. But that party that preachs these things and how they are the great crusaders of christianhood (even their fellow GOP'ers who were raised Hindu have to convert to be in the fold), they go against everything that Jesus stood for in their politics and bills that they introduce. How is anyone foolish enough to keep believing in this? and In these people?

America needs jobs. America needs the Wars to stop; how about we worry about abortion, gun control, and dinosaurs vs monkeys at a later date, and make these people focus on what is really important. Fixing the Tax Code; instead of kicking it down the road. Closing loopholes; instead of kicking it down the road. Ending Corporate Welfare; instead of welfare for the poor. Paying wages that strengthen the Middle Class; so we can buy that crap you import for those stores that you own, the ones that put our parents out of business.

Anyhow...how foolish am I to believe that anyone on the Right, could see beyond Limbaugh and Ryan.

This Ariticle needs to go VIRAL. I dare any Democrat to dispute this...

First, I want to say with deep humility, I bow down, give out kudos too, applaud, Benny Johnson @ BuzzFeed. This is just brilliant.

I have been jumping up and down, and yelling at the television, the news papers at News Paper Stands, at all my Democrat friends and Associates in Real Life and on FB, the Trolls and the Liberals on HuffPo, about this exact same thing.

Democrats would have had a field day screaming at President Bush, if he did anything like this...well where is your anger now; where are your voices for Social Justice, Civil and Basic Human Rights and dignities; where is your empathy for the innocent?

Democrats screamed for 8 yrs, during the Reign of the Dubya, that Republicans should hold their President accountable for all the Humanitarian violations, broken promises, lies, Covert Ops, etc...now, you are silent.  Like Sheep, who just realized why they were in line at the Wool Factory.

This is an ARTISTICALLY, FANTASTIC, POLITICAL COMMENTARY and THIS SHOULD GO VIRAL.  All Parties and those in-between should make this go viral: http://www.buzzfeed.com/bennyjohnson/things-democrats-would-have-freaked-out-about-if-bush-had-do

QUOTE of the NIGHT:

"There are district attorneys and United States attorneys out there every day squeezing ordinary citizens on sometimes very thin grounds and taking them to trial in order to make an example, as they put it. I'm really concerned that 'too big to fail' has become 'too big for trial,'" Elizabeth Warren; at her first Bank Committee Hearing. - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/14/elizabeth-warren-bank-regulators_n_2688998.html

I like her spirit. I like what I see from her. I only hope she will actually to some good. I believe she will slowly get engulfed by the biogelatinous glob that controls Washington.

Her question and reasoning is simple. Her statements ring with truth. Average Joe's are made "examples of" by our Judicial System, in every State and County within our Nation, every day. how come those that broke the law are sheltered; this is almost as bad as the Catholic Church being allowed to shelter Child Abusers. How come we are not doing something about this?

Anyhow...Go Elizabeth! You truly are a small candle of hope that sits near the cup of justice.

QUOTE of the EARLY EVENING

"For example, there are other countries that are polluting in the atmosphere much greater than we are at this point -- China, India, all these countries that are still growing. They’re not going to stop doing what they’re doing." - Marc Rubio; in Response to President Obama's SOTU remark on Global Warming.

So what the hell, when in Rome right???

Absolutely Pathetic...such TRULY INSPIRING, GLOBAL LEADERSHIP.

True Leaders, good leaders, tend to inspire by "leading."  Whats the old cliche'? Lead by....lead by... Oh! Example. Thats right, one should LEAD by EXAMPLE.

I personally believe at this point, who cares if it is "Man Made" or "Natural."  Something is happening, and we better stop bickering and prepare ourselves, our Nations, and our infrastructures, to meet whatever it is to come.

To keep ignoring the "BASIC" and "SIMPLE" facts is pathetic.  What are the "simple" and "basic" facts? Here they are: 1) We are in the Hottest and Driest years recorded in History, 2) Storms are growing bigger and fiercer, 3) Summer and winter months seem to be changing.

And if we can do anyhting to stem the tide, then lets do so.  If it means, changing what we pump into the air...then why shouldnt we do that?  Even if it only helps to reduce it by 2%, lets see...insert another old cliche' here....EVERY DROP COUNTS.

Anyhow, the point of the quote is to rant about what a pathetic reason that is, and how pathetic that that kind of leadership is what is popular on the Right.  That "Holier then thou" mentality is just simple Un-American, Weak minded and arrogant. I'm sure our Forefathers are not proud of us.  We, once were the Greatest Nation on Earth, for we led by example, and other Countries looked up at us...now they mock us, point fingers and laugh.

Its time, we change.

Quote of the Night; Mark Rubio's Response to the SOTU.

"I don’t oppose your plans because I want to protect the rich. I oppose your plans because I want to protect my neighbors." --Marco Rubio's GOP response; you know his Neighbors in that Double-Wide Mansion.
