High Prices and Recession, Thanks to BHO

When the government wants to spend more, the GCP (Government Controlled Press) comes out with stories that there is no inflation and in fact there is deflation. The Fed chief, who serves at the pleasure of BHO, may make similar statements. Therefore, say the talking heads, in this environment, government deficit spending is OK.

This blog has stated that the huge increases in government spending create money. Since there is no corresponding increase in good and services to spend the money on, this is certainly inflation. That prices don’t go up is explained by the severe economic downturn. Markets are attempting to clear, that is to sell goods and services and produce more. This is not happening because the inflation is not allowing prices to adjust downward, as is the usual way slow markets clear. The result is a more and more sluggish economy. Based upon the actions of this government, a sluggish economy seems to be what they want, except at election time.

Republican Minds Held Hostage: Copenhagen Syndrome?

Too many Republicans are becoming appeasers because they fear the mainstream press, which calls the Tea Partiers domestic extremists.

The main stream media (aka: The Drive-bys, the Government Controlled Press [GCP], the Lame-Stream Press) are domestic extremist groups in their attacks on freedom. We should not be intimidated by their propaganda. Propaganda takes many forms but it always has at least an element of untruth. Some of their statements and claims of dubious truth are as follows:

Doubtable declarations of the GCP, a sampling of items: unproven, highly doubtable Man-made Global Warming [mmgw] proclamations of long standing, now newly repeated. Greed of Bankers caused the meltdown (as if bankers now are any less greedy that ever). "We just want to help you" (Twilight Zone stuff, not to mention 1984 Big Brotherism)

More recently: Conservatives are accused of being "domestic extremists" (letters to the governors demanding resignation, group arrested in WI after FBI agent provocateur op with implied connections to tea parties); another attack on Catholic Church and the Pope; another attack on GOP and chairman Steele (many GOP’s suffering from Copenhagen syndrome go along with this one especially: their minds are held hostage by the GCP), the economy is improving; government health care will save money; Obama now will allow drilling for oil (that’s a good one); and for that matter – Obama is a moderate (everyone should have seen through that one by now); Obama is so smart (right), man-made global warming (we’ve stopped messing around, its time that You Will Believe, or else); Government takeover of student loans will save money by eliminating the "middleman" (the progressives will always eliminate the middleman, that is private enterprise, and the little man, by appropriating more and more power for government.)

Oh, I almost forgot, the Tea Party isn't racist either. Progressive schemes are what the Tea Party doesn't want. All races are welcome and encouraged to join the fight for freedom. As we know the progressive ideology is bankrupt. The Progressive deck has only a few cards: racism is the card that has worked best for them in the past. Common sense conservatives have no reason to fear it or them.

One more: Toyota cars are no good, according to the GCP. I used to prefer GM and was leaning toward the Chrysler Charger. No more; until they are again free, I will go with Ford, Toyota, and KIA. Also, Chinese products are probably being unfairly attacked. This is a scheme to enact tariffs by the back door.

George Was Right

My mom told me that her dad, George, used to read about the New Deal every morning in the newspaper. After reading the headlines, his comment was always similar: "Look what that son of a bitch is doing now!" My mom said she was twelve before she knew that the president's name was not 'that son of a bitch.' With the Internet and talk radio, George would really be upset today. Just think of all the news about FDR's new deal he didn't know because it was not printed in the newspaper. However, compared to the newspapers of today, I am sure that the news medial of the 1930's was honest and helpful. Thank God we have alternative outlets for the truth today. We would all be in Obama Squads (or the gulags) by now if the Government controlled Press [GCP] was the only non-governmental bulwark of the republic.
