It is almost a month since my last post. I just had to stop for a while because there are so many stupid things being done by our governments for our own good. There is just not much to write that is positive. But I find I need to write anyway.
I never cease to be amazed at how blatantly politicians can lie to the people. Or how they can redefine things to make them appear good when they are really bad.
A stimulus not financed out of savings is a debt and attracts interest. A large stimulus not financed out of savings is very bad.
Changing the whole of the US healthcare system to accommodate 30 million more people and costing over a trillion dollars is bad. Especially when cheaper alternatives are not considered and the politicians think it has to be really big or it won’t work.
Businesses can’t and won’t work that way so why does government believe it can? It’s a high risk strategy and illogical.
Isn’t that what they said about the stimulus and the TARP? They thought of a number that would be big enough to get everyone’s attention.
I know that many in the US Congress and the Senate see bi-partisanship as a “good” but it is not a good if it is against a parties basic ideology.
The problem with the Republicans is they have sold out their ideology so often that they stand for nothing.
The Democrats stand for anything that will get them where they want to go. They are true to their ideology.
It’s almost like the Republicans are digital and the Democrats are analogue.

In his State of the Union address last night President Obama promised to double exports in 5 years. Is that possible?
Normally this would not worry me too much but I recently watched a series of 8 YouTube video of Dr Albert A. Bartlett Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado lecturing on the exponential function.
His opening statement is,
“The Greatest Shortcoming of the Human Race is our Inability to Understand the Exponential Function”.
To those that may be mathematically challenged it is all about things that increase at a constant rate and what happens over the long term.

It’s congratulations to pickup truck owner and new senator Scott Brown for winning Ted Kennedy’s old seat. It was truly amazing to see him come from 30 points behind to take the seat from apparent “shoe-in” Martha Coakley. 
But what is far more important is what it means for the future of the socialisation of America. I’m sure it won’t stop it as it has been going on for years, but it has received a serious set-back.
More importantly the Health Care bill is all but dead which means the US economy will not have to find $1 Trillion dollar to provide health care for about 30 million people.
This is not only good for the US, it is good for the world. The world needs the US to create wealth through business and entrepreneurship, not spend 20% or more of its budget on a national health care system. Why follow the rest of the developed world into the health care black hole?

Sometimes when researching to find information that helps me understand why the world is in this economic mess and what I can do to protect myself and my nest egg, I come across some “real gold”.
That just happened today and I have spent considerable time reading and absorbing much of the information I have found.
It started off quite normally with me wanting to catch up on some stuff from Ron Paul. I started at the Mises site where there are many FREE ebooks by current and long forgotten economists and economic writers (philosophy too. I know, why don’t I get a life, but I like reading this stuff 
)
