WHO ARE WE GOING TO HIRE?

 My father had an 8th grade education.  When I was a young boy he left the family farm and drove a meat packing truck, sold cars, worked at a filling station, bought a grocery store, and sold Electrolux vacuum cleaners while Mom and I ran the store.  Then, he got his building contractor license and began to build houses in the early 60s.  He did quite well and had 5 new houses on the market.  His broker told him to sell his houses at a discount because interest rates were rising, which would kill the housing market.

 

He would not because he had made a lot of money building and thought he could continue doing the same and make more money.  He went bankrupt a couple of years later and lost everything but our home.

 

As you well know in our fast changing world we can no longer survive DOING WHAT WE ALWAYS DID.

 

Voting is a private thing.  Our forefathers were men of high learning and wisdom (as is demonstrated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution).  Today, our leaders need to have the same kind of characteristics.  They can no longer lead on past experience because the world changes so quickly.

 

I thank those who have sent me views on who they think will do the best job.  I believe that the more we can know about the candidates the better we can decide.  Good and honest people will vote for different candidates and still be GOOD AND HONEST.  I offer you the following to give you a broader view as you have given me (please continue sending me insights you have).

 

I THANK THE PRESIDENT FOR APPOINTING, SUPPORTING AND LETTING THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE DO WHAT THEY THINK BEST. -mackie

Remarks Prepared for Delivery
by Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson
At Columbia University

 

New York, NY – It’s good to be back at CBS – a great school with a storied history that includes Benjamin Graham and David Dodd as faculty members, and Warren Buffett as a student. And while the business school didn’t exist in the 18th century, the rigorous education Alexander Hamilton received as a Columbia undergraduate – inside and outside the classroom – no doubt paved the way for his groundbreaking work as America’s first Treasury Secretary.

 

My approach as Treasury Secretary will be bipartisan. And in my early meetings in Congress, with Democrats and Republicans, I have communicated my sincere desire to work with both political parties to meet our long-term challenges.

Paulson and Bolten are just two of the onetime Goldman figures who find themselves managing perhaps the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression. After Paulson took over at Treasury in May 2006, he turned to Goldman colleague Robert K. Steel to help him oversee financial markets. Steel left recently to run Wachovia, but several other Goldman alumni remain to help Paulson deal with the ongoing market turmoil.

 

Such heavy reliance on the most prestigious Wall Street investment firm has become something of a bipartisan Washington tradition in recent years; Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert E. Rubin was also a co- chairman of Goldman Sachs, as was Bush economic adviser Stephen Friedman. But if the Wall Street meltdown continues, the tradition may come under scrutiny, especially if Goldman eventually needs the kind of government assistance granted Bear Stearns or American International Group.

 

From the right, prominent voices question Paulson’s use of taxpayer dollars to help rescue private firms, while liberal and labor groups attack the ideological orientation of the Treasury secretary and other officials hailing from Goldman.

HOW DID ROOSEVELT HANDLE THE GREAT DEPRESSION?

 

Roosevelt’s philosophy, on the other hand, was entirely
different. His most readily apparent ability was his voice; he was
able to talk to people in such a way that they almost always went
along with him. He was exceptionally confident, and made those around
him feel so too. Roosevelt did not tend to deal with underlying
problems; he was, however, wonderful at taking care of the surface
problem. On his inauguration day, he gave his famous speech asserting
that the only thing America had to fear was fear itself; not entirely
true, because the nation stood on the brink of collapse. The banks in
Chicago and New York were closed. Within ten days, Roosevelt had them
back open. Throughout the next few years, Roosevelt’s general policy
was to make work for anyone and everyone who was idle; it didn’t
matter if the work was pointless, and didn’t really need to be done.

ON WHICH ARE THE FOLLOWING BASED (from some items posted)?

“Lets face it……The Republican Party is one where the very rich lead the very ignorant…..There are some exceptions as we saw at the Democratic Convention…..Republicans who had lost their jobs, their health insurance, their homes, etc……and when Jesus didn’t step forward and come to the rescue, they turned to the Democratic Party.

 

The Republican Party now offers America as its Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates a 72 year old man with serious health considerations and a born again, rifle shooting, moose gutting, abstinence teaching, anti choice, oil drilling woman who, as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska tried to ban books from the local library…..books that she considered morally or socially objectionable to her.  This is truly a dangerous woman to have one heart beat away from the Presidency.”

SOME REPUBLICANS WARY OF PALIN’S NOMINATION….

GOP vice presidential pick Sarah Palin accepted at least $4,500 in campaign contributions in the same fundraising scheme at the center of a public corruption scandal that led to the indictment of Sen. Ted Stevens.

The contributions, made during Palin’s failed 2002 bid to become Alaska’s lieutenant governor, were not illegal for her to accept. But they show how Palin, a self-proclaimed reformer who has bucked Stevens and his allies, is nonetheless a product of a political system in Alaska now under the cloud of an ongoing FBI investigation.

It’s the latest in a string of revelations that have forced John McCain‘s campaign to defend his choice and the thoroughness of the background check of Palin, 44, a little-known governor who is new to the national stage. Palin stunned delegates at the GOP convention Monday when she announced through the McCain campaign that her unmarried 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant.

With the convention still abuzz, the list of potentially embarrassing details grew Tuesday:

_Palin sought pork-barrel projects for her city and state, contrary to her reformist image.

_Her husband once belonged to a fringe political group in Alaska with some members supporting secession from the United States.

_A private attorney has been authorized to spend $95,000 to defend her against accusations of abuse of power.

_She has acknowledged smoking marijuana in the past.

And this: Bristol Palin’s boyfriend, Levi Johnston, plans to join the family of the Republican vice presidential candidate at the GOP convention, the boy’s mother said. He left Alaska on Tuesday morning to join the Palin family in St. Paul, Minn.

Defending his choice and the team that helped pick her, McCain said Tuesday that “the vetting process was completely thorough.” Campaign advisers at the convention in St. Paul, Minn., said Palin filled out a survey with 70 questions, including: Have you ever paid for sex? Have you been faithful in your marriage? Have you ever used or purchased drugs? Have you ever downloaded pornography?

I’D RATHER LOSE AN ELECTION THAN A WAR (McCain).

“Forget all her so-called family values and politics.  Assuming that McCain actually did know beforehand about Bristol Palin being pregnant,  that means he decided Bristol’s situation would somehow be beneficial to his campaign.  In other words, he would use Bristol Palin’s problems to promote his presidential chances.  Otherwise, he would have decided it would have a negative impact, in which case he would have eliminated her from the selection process and picked someone else before her name even came up. 

So what is that advantage? 

And what was Sarah Palin thinking?  What did she see as her advantage in going forward with her candidacy, knowing that her daughter was pregnant?  Certainly she must see some political gain being made from this, or why put her daughter through what will certainly be an incredible amount of unnecessary psychological stress brought on by the media scrutiny she will undergo over the next two months. 

Somehow I feel I’m watching something pretty sick, especially when I think of all the undeserved stress this 17 year old girl is about to be exposed to, in the interests of furthering her mother and John McCain‘s political careers. 

Any thoughts?  If people write things, I’ll pass it around my circles.  I feel there’s something really fundamental and scary here that the Republicans are planning, something really emotionally manipulative that we need to get a handle on, and quick.”

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE NEWS?………….

Where is Walter Cronkite?  Edward R. Murrow?  Etc.?  Who are these monsters with mics growing out of their ears at CNN?;  Raising obsurb points, questions, anything to keep you tuned?  Have any studied American society, history, culture, to help us understand the greatness of the true America?  Or are they idiots that have only studied and been primed to keep your attention until the next commercial?

Do we even know of the reporters of newspapers and networks that have editors that have the independence to state what they see without regard to the corporations that have the largest ad investments?  THE ONLY HOPE FOR AMERICA IS THAT A MAJORITY OF US WILL LOOK FOR THE UNADULTERATED TRUTH AND VOTE ACCORDINGLY.  I AGREE; IT IS THE LESSOR OF 2 EVILS, BUT THAT’S ALL WE HAVE UNTIL WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.  IF WE DON’T GET INVOLVED, IF WE ACCEPT THE SPOON FEEDING OF THE IGNORANT REPORTERS, HIP SHOOTERS, AND PREACHERS, WE DESERVE OUR FALSE CONCLUSIONS AND WILL SUFFER THEIR CONSEQUENCES.

Rome eventually fell, but I believe that you will search to know the truth (not that I know yet) and vote accordingly.  THE ICE CAPS ARE MELTING, A MAJORITY OF SCIENTISTS SAY WE ONLY HAVE 6 to 8 YRS TO TURN IT AROUND, AND WE, IF WE HESITATE, MAY NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN OUR STUPIDITY TO OUR GRANDCHILDREN (I’ve already had to do that).

THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN WE WILL FAIL AS A CULTURE AND NATION.  IS IT NOW, OR WILL WE POSTPONE IT THROUGH OUR ACTION?

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO INDIVIDUALITY OF THINKING AND SPEECH?

MANY OF THE GREAT SPIRITUAL LEADERS OF THE PAST LEFT EVERYTHING TO SPEND TIME ALONE IN THOUGHT AND MEDITATION TO FIND TRUTH.  WHERE ELSE IS THE CREATOR (SPIRIT OR CAUSE) OF THE UNIVERSE REVEALED MORE THAN IN NATURE AND HUMAN BEINGS, THE HIGHEST CREATION?  WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN THINK.  WHY AREN’T WE DOING IT?

 

WHERE DID ANY OF THESE GREAT SPIRITUAL LEADERS (JESUS MOST OF ALL IN MY MIND) TALK ABOUT BUILDING BUILDINGS, MONUMENTS, STATUES, ETC.  WHERE DID THAT TALK ABOUT CEREMONIES AND RITUALS?

 

WHY HAVEN’T BELIEVERS OF THE MOST HIGH (WHOMEVER YOU THINK) UTILIZED SCHOOLS AND EMPTY BUILDINGS TO DO THEIR MINISTRIES INSTEAD OF BUILDING BUILDINGS?  ARE YOU AWARE OF HOW LITTLE THE MONIES OF CHURCHES, SYNAGOGUES, ETC GO TOWARDS CARRYING OUT THEIR LEADERS’ TEACHINGS?

 

IT IS SAID THAT JESUS HAD NO PLACE TO LAY HIS HEAD.  DO YOUR LOCAL SPIRITUAL LEADERS ADOPT THAT LIFESTYLE?

 

I HAVE RELIGIOUS DEGREES UP MY SPINE (THAT’S CLOSE), BUT THEY ALL TAUGHT ME THEIR DOCTRINES.  WHAT ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN US AND THAT ALL OF HIS CREATION IS RELATED TO EACH ONE OF US?

 

IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT THE BEST WAY TO LEARN ABOUT THE CAUSE OF IT ALL IS TO STUDY OR GO TO A NON-RELIGIOUS FULLY ACCREDITED INSTITUTION THAT SEARCHES FOR FACTUAL TRUTH WITH NO RELIGIOUS BIAS.

 

WHY NOT SUPPORT A CHURCH THAT ACCEPTS SAINTS AND SINNERS, BELIEVERS AND NON-BELIEVERS?  DO YOU KNOW ANY PASTORS THAT WILL ACCEPT NO MORE INCOME THAN THE AVERAGE OF HIS/HER/ITS FOLLOWERS?  THE CREATOR SURELY MADE THEM ALL AND THAT MAKES THEM A PART OF US, DON’T YOU THINK?

 

HOW DO THE NEWS NETWORKS AND TALK SHOW HOSTS MAKE MONEY?  BY ATTRACTING MORE LISTENERS AND VIEWERS TO THEIR PROGRAMS.  HOW DO THEY DO THAT?  BY STATING HALF-TRUTHS (AND WHOLE LIES) THAT NEVER COME TRUE, BUT EXCITE PEOPLE TO TUNE IN.

 

HOW DO MANY CHURCHES AND NON-PROFIT ORGS MAKE PROFITS?  COULD IT BE THAT THEY POINT OUT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OTHER GROUPS AND THEMSELVES AND HOW SOMEHOW THEY KNOW MORE ABOUT THE TRUTH?

 

I’M ALL FOR A PERSON HAVING THE RIGHT TO MAKE ALL HE CAN ON HIS OWN, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING IT OFF THE BACKS OF HIS/HER/ITS EMPLOYEES AND BANKRUPTING THEIR PENSIONS AND BENEFITS…DO YOU THINK THAT IS DEMOCRACY, BEING FAIR?

 

HOW CAN WE EVER HAVE A MORE FAIR ELECTION SYSTEM THAN THOSE WHO RAISE THE MOST MONEY WILL WIN THE ELECTIONS?  COULD IT BE THAT WE DO AWAY WITH THE 2 PARTY SYSTEM, LET ANYONE RUN FOR OFFICE AND LIMIT THEM ALL TO A SAME LEVEL OF FINANCES?

 

I WON’T EVEN MENTION THE CORRUPTION OF LOBBYISTS WHO PAY POLITICIANS NOT TO LISTEN TO YOU.

 

MORE LATER.

5 QUESTIONS TO ASK ALL POLITICIANS……

Dear MK,

Yesterday I challenged you to help me monitor faith’s role at this week’s Democratic National Convention – we will have another challenge for the Republicans next week. But, we need to be ready to ask candidates at all levels important questions about their views on the intersection of religion and government.

Today, Interfaith Alliance introduces new online resources with 5 questions to ask every political candidate.

As religion plays an increasingly prominent role in American politics, preserving the boundaries between religion and politics is more important than ever.

We want you to ask the candidates for every level of political office:

• What role will your faith or values play in creating public policy or making appointments?
• What are your views on the boundaries between religion and government?
• What steps will you take to protect the rights of your constituents regardless of faith or belief?
• How will you speak about your beliefs without making them just another political tool?
• How will you balance the principles of your faith and your obligation to defend the Constitution, particularly if the two come into conflict?

Visit www.interfaithalliance.org/5questions to watch videos from me about why we need the answers to all of our 5 questions, and read more about each one. I hope you will post your perspective – and stories about asking one of the 5 questions to our candidates – in the comments section for each of the 5 Questions.

WERE WE MISLED IN GEORGIA?

(summary-no opinion stated)

 

Everyone who has spent more than five minutes perusing the data on U.S. military contracts understands that the big bucks are still to be made in the production of high-tech, cutting-edge, whiz-bang weapons platforms of the sort that enriched several generations of contractors during the Cold War. But – damn it! – the Cold War had the impudence to dry up and blow away back in the early 1990s, seemingly never to return. Of course, the contractors could always direct their wiles and their lobbying budgets toward reminding members of Congress that we never know when another Big Bad Enemy will pop up. For a while China was the favorite emerging threat to serve up at defense-industry banquets and military-association get-togethers. Yet, coming up with a truly convincing replacement for the USSR proved to be an extraordinarily difficult task. China appeared to be more interested in supplying Wal-Mart and bankrolling the U.S. Treasury than in attacking the United States .

The onset of the war in Iraq diverted the defense-industry boys from their usual fun and games, but only slightly. Although KBR, Blackwater, Dyncorp, Bechtel, Fluor, Triple Canopy, and many others have made a killing in Iraq, the truly humongous proceeds in military contracting continue to be made by bending metal for aircraft, ships, missiles, satellites, and combat vehicles and by supplying the countless related items of software, maintenance, remodeling, upgrading, training, and so forth that can keep one of these big projects going strong for decades in a sole-source, competition-free environment with limitless potential for engineering change orders – “contract nourishment,” as it’s known in the trade. (The B-52 project, for example, has been going strong for more than 60 years and has no end in sight. If you are a U.S. taxpayer, the Boeing Company says thank you very much.)

The Russians have not been very cooperative about reviving the Cold War. Not that they’ve demonstrated themselves to be Mr. Nice Guys, especially in Chechnya, but in their relations with the West, they’ve shown more interest in soliciting foreign investment, exporting oil and gas, and purchasing mansions in Cyprus than in nuking London and Washington. It’s true – and a fact that bears more repeating – that they still possess thousands of nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them accurately anywhere on earth within the next hour. But since the USSR ‘s demise, they have not been talking menacingly enough to maintain the Russian threat as a terribly serious fear in the minds of American taxpayers.

Which brings us back to the little nation-state known as Georgia .

See ‘I.O.U.S.A.’ and weep for our kids (and their descendants)…

(a summary)

Thursday, August 21, 2008

Over the last few years, millions of homeowners borrowed more money than they could repay. They were living beyond their means, hoping that sometime in the future, something would come along to bail them out.

They’re now paying for that lack of responsibility. In the second quarter of 2008 alone, more than 700,000 homes went into foreclosure, driving housing values lower and gutting the nation’s construction industry.

There’s an important lesson in that tragedy, not just for Americans as individuals but as citizens of the United States of America . As a nation, we are living well beyond our means and behaving just as irresponsibly as those individual homeowners who mortgaged their family’s future for a plasma TV or European vacation. Our national debt — the accumulation of year after year of deficit spending by our government — is approaching $10 trillion and growing, with almost 45 percent of it owed to foreigners.

And just as overextended homeowners lost their homes, we Americans may lose our country, or at least the prosperous, powerful country as we’ve known it. The debt is growing so large that last month alone, interest payments totaled $24 billion. Again, that’s a single month.

To see where that will inevitably lead, “we only need to look at the fate of other countries who have lived beyond their means for a long time,” warns former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill, who was fired from his Cabinet post by President Bush for daring to insist that deficits matter. “When you get extended to the point you can’t service your debt, you’re finished.”

O’Neill issues that warning in “I.O.U.S.A.,” a documentary about our nation’s pending fiscal crisis that opens tonight, for one night only, in 400 movie theaters around the country, including eight in metro Atlanta . (For a list of theaters, go to www.iousathemovie.com).

As the movie points out, a country deep in debt to the rest of the world loses control over its own future. Most of our foreign-held debt is owned by Japan , China and the oil-exporting countries, giving them enormous potential leverage not just over our foreign policy but over our domestic economic policies as well.

In addition to O’Neill, the movie features financier Warren Buffett, former Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and others. But its two stars are David Walker, until recently head of the Government Accountability Office, and Robert Bixby, head of the Concord Coalition, who have been traveling the nation trying to stir up grass-roots concern about the problem.

The Concord Coalition, founded in 1992 by a Democrat and two Republicans, has been studiously nonpartisan. As Walker puts it, “The facts aren’t Democrat or Republican. The facts aren’t liberal or conservative. The facts are the facts.”

But facts being facts, two presidents in particular come in for pointed criticism. In one clip, Ronald Reagan is seen pointing out correctly that “for decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children’s future, for the temporary convenience of the present.”

But as he speaks, graphics point out that in Reagan’s eight years as president, our national debt almost tripled, from $909 billion to $2.6 trillion.

The current President Bush is given similar treatment. In a press conference, he is seen proudly awarding himself “an A for keeping taxes low and being fiscally responsible with the people’s money.” But as graphics demonstrate, our national debt was $5.7 trillion when Bush took office; it will be almost twice that when he leaves. There is no curve in the world on which that performance merits an “A.”

The film does not offer a detailed solution, but it does express restrained outrage at the immorality of one generation of Americans — you and I — willing to mortgage the futures of our children and grandchildren to satisfy our own selfishness.

It’s the scariest movie you are likely to see this summer, not least because we play the villains.

ACCESS TO EVIL (are there neocon ministers?).

 

(I state no opinion on the following but thought that you might want to read another point of view not reaching the mass media or talk show hosts. -mackie)

“After barring Ron Paul, the Republifascists will give the main convention speaking slots to the sanctimonious neocon monster Lieberman, the crooked neocon monster Giuliani, and the neocon war criminals Cheney and Bush.

 Also today, at a town meeting, when a questioner said the State needed a military draft to be able to kill enough foreigners, McCain said he didn’t disagree with anything she said.

 Ron Paul made a (yet another) great point yesterday, about what an outrage it is that one man can select the vice president. According to the original Constitution, the vice president was the man who came in #2 in the electoral college vote. But wouldn’t that mean he would be keeping an eagle eye on the presidentas versus being his willing enabler, that’s right.”
