Comments by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
As we wind our way towards an election between the professional liars that have been put forward as candidates for U.S. President, it seems to be a great time to remind us all about the issue being routinely ignored by virtually everyone (except Ron Paul, of course, who was never really embraced by the "please lie to me" mainstream public). To what issue am I referring? The national debt, of course.
As you can see in this bumper sticker, the way to annoy a liberal is to "get a job," as the pop culture bumper sticker says. To annoy a conservative, all you have to do is "defend the Constitution." But how do you annoy everybody? That's simple: Explain the national debt.
Americans don't want to hear about the national debt. It's like a family living paycheck to paycheck, maxed out on their credit cards, trying to pretend the collection notices are all being lost in the mail. They don't want to admit they have no ability to actually pay off the debt they've incurred by pursuing a flamboyoant lifestyle, blowing wads of cash on high-priced wines, luxury vehicles, and an occassional line of coke -- they desperately want to imagine they can keep living on money that appears from nowhere, regardless of how much they owe to everybody else and the fact that their incomes don't even come close to matching their expenditures.
Too bad every household in America doesn't have its own Federal Reserve, huh? If it did, we could all just print money to pay off our debt, save our skins, and ignore the fundamentals of economics. But even in Washington today (and New York), the Federal Reserve is too busy bailing out greedy, criminally-operated banks to turn much attention to the much larger issue of the United States' national debt. Apparently, saving the banks is more important than anything else, and the Fed is now committed to destroying the U.S. dollar through runaway hyperinflation in order to prevent a few rich bankers from facing the consequences of their outrageous sub-prime lending sprees.
America runs its finances like a crack addictBut let's get back to the national debt for a moment. The United States government is broke. The only reason it's been able to operate for this long is because other nations and foreign central banks have been foolish enough to keep lending the U.S. government more money. It's like giving cash to a crack addict and hoping he will somehow seek out a drug rehab center on his own.
This is the person who never gets a job, never makes an honest living, but yet somehow manages to hit up everybody else for cash. You know how it works: "I need to buy a car to get a job," they say. And then when you pony up the cash for their car, they get drunk and wreck the car, and they never try very hard to get a job in the first place. They keep spending and spending, tossing money down the drain on blows of crack, meth, heroin or booze. They promise to go into rehab someday, if you'll only help them through "the next month" with a little more cash. This is the life of a drug addict. (Do you know one? Everybody does, it seems...)
