Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. Sort Of.

The latest health care monstrosity---the Senate bill---clocks in at over $1 trillion (when you add in the $210 billion "doctor fix" they are trying to hide from you) and over 2000 pages.

Under parliamentary rules, if a Senator demands it, the bill must be read in its entirety before formal debate can begin. Oklahoma Republican and taxpayer savior Dr. Tom Coburn is threatening to do just that.

I hope he follows through on that threat. Frankly, it's the only way to get lawmakers to hear the thing, because we all know they won't read it.

And here's a fun fact: with pauses for breaths, bathroom breaks, and sips of water (or something stronger, and I wouldn't blame the Senate clerk for smuggling in flasks of adult beverages), a full read-through could take up to 52 hours. Another fun fact: Senate rules state that every bill "shall receive THREE readings prior to its passage."

Good times.

The truth is emerging from the finance community : 40% collapse in China, 25% collapse in the US. This partnership is a failure. Chinese stimulus produces goods, that can be purchased by stimulus receivers in the US, namely government associated workers. If they increase the stimulus there might be greater production and greater consumption - but it is all debt based.

Political posturing in Congress is not helpful : it is the Lamegress.

The nauseating maggot Chris Matthews is at it again. He describes crowd of 1,500 that showed up at Sarah Palin's book signing as "monochromatic". Then the maggot implies Sarah Palin is a bigot.

The global economy is really a large telemarketing scam!!

Ford is well positioned. It has toe dipped in both here and there. It would be wise, before the other shoe drops, to cut back on foreign production, and increase domestic production to increase employment and US consumption.

Something gringoVision started using years ago has finally made the Big Time. Sean Hannity kept repeating it just now, over his 500 radio affiliates. Sean got it from Sarah Palin in yesterday's major interview with her.

"Lamestream Media," Sean repeated, chuckling. "I like it."

I'll give Sean a pass on a later gringoism: The 'OSM' ('Obamasuck Media'.)

Does even the fiery Mark Levin dare?

This goes for Grossie, Olberbiteme and the rest of them.

Both liberals and conservatives are demanding Geithner resign. Today it was Rep. Kevin Brady (R., Texas). Earlier this week it was Rep. Peter DeFazio (D., Ore.), who said "Quite frankly, all the gambling on Wall Street [Geithner's policy] is doing nothing to put people back to work in America and rebuild our economy."

Conservatives should seize this opportunity to focus national attention on the public debt which topped $12 trillion this week, taxes, and unfair trade practices by China.

[Michael Avari]

This is huge, if it passes into law:

"A key House panel on Thursday approved an amendment offered by Rep. Ron Paul (R., Texas) to give federal watchdogs massive new authority to audit the Federal Reserve." (WSJ)

Paul sees auditing as a precursor to abolishing the Fed. "He for more than 20 years has championed significantly neutering the Fed." While shutting the Fed is not a good idea, "neutering" certainly is.

And this happened in Barney Frank's committee!

This is eerily reminiscent of the MO of Stalkingbertington. It would be useful to know that Eminemsrevenge, the black racist who keeps showing up here every now and then is the one and only Typepad follower this Xkrement has.

I don't know how to interpret this connection, but it suggests that all the interlopers are somehow connected.

Does this extend to Ovari, the soft velvet-glove Kuntry-Klublican..?

ARITHMETIC AND THE AMERICAN FUTURE

//////See chart on the balance at the Federal Reserve of its Custodial Accounts.This is basically the US debt holdings of Foreign Central Banks around the world. As such, it is a good way to gauge the relative indebtedness of the US.

I have been constructing this chart every week now for many years and each week I look at it and post the new data, I have to sigh in despair at what is portends for my children. Our nation is hopelessly bankrupt for all practical purposes as there is no way under heaven that a debt of this magnitude will ever be repaid in its entirety unless of course the currency in which the debt is denominated is deliberately debauched and drops precipitously in value. This is precisely what China is angry about, and I might add, rightfully so.

For the Chinese to go out of their way to formally rebuke the US ruling elites and monetary officials about the commodity bubble that is occurring courtesy of the collapsing US Dollar, is quite remarkable given their penchant for etiquette and tact. One can easily discern just how irritated not only China, but all of Asia is with the US. At some point, this tension is going to erupt in a much larger way. Heaven help us all when it does because it will be marked by a period of soaring interest rates as a buyer’s strike occurs in the US Treasury market.

What did Jesus Christ preach against? Who were His targets? (to say enemies would be inaccurate because He died for them and their sins as well as everyone elses.)

Hypocrites and hypocrisy. Pharisees. Bigots. People who stood publicly on the corner, in the glare of the cameras, making a public show of professing their faith, while in the darkness working all sorts of evil, seeding hatred, bigotry, and fear against people who were different, and finally, plotting against Him because He shone the bright light of day into their inner black hearts. The Pharisees corrupted Judaism the way Zionists do today and ChristianIST EXTREMIST fake Christians like Palin and Prejean and Bush AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP THEM corrupted Christianity into a religion led by LUCIFER HIMSELF advocating Holy War against all of Islam under the blasphemy of "self-defense" and all manner of bigotry against anyone who God made different.

Gringoman, we are dealing with a paranoid delusional subject here. Ever see the movie "Crimes of Passion" by Stanley Kubrick?

This X's Palin obsession and its delusions of religious righteousness are somewhat similar to the psychology explored in that movie.

A complete detachment from reality is what we all have observed in this subject already.

Maybe a moslem trying to come to terms with Christianity?

There's a very islamist bent to everything it spouts forth on this blog.

Remember the reaction it provoked from our normally near-comatose RINO Catholic a couple weeks back.

DJ,

What's the use? Even a Sunday Schooler would understand that Jesus was of the Torah, a direct descendant of the House of David. The question the invert doesn't want asked: Where did Jesus ever break with The Law that proscribed homosexuality, i.e. where is rescinded what Inverts, Inc now like to call 'bigotry' against inverts? In His own words.... where was Jesus okay with disciples mating together ?,,,,Exactly where?....

[xbjllb]

Man, are you EVER obsessed with this issue.

I asked DJ first, and I'd like the quotes.

"In His own words.... where was Jesus NOT okay with disciples mating together ?,,,,Exactly where?...."

I'd like to see ANY quote in the New Testament where He said a single word about homosexuality IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER, ONE WAY or the OTHER.

Good luck...

[xbjllb]

"Where did Jesus ever break with The Law?" - Gringo

----

He preached on the Sabbath. He HEALED on the Sabbath. He cast out demons on the Sabbath. For which the Pharisees were ready to stone Him.

Especially when He said "I AM the LAW".

This is just one instance of many. Christ was the FULFILLMENT of JUDAIC LAW, in what HE SAID was HIS MOST important and ONLY commandment: Love your enemies.

Everything good proceeds from that, as every sin proceeds from HATING your enemies.

Human beings have no human enemies insofar as Christ is concerned; ALL are equally unrighteous in the sight of God. All are equally loved and have an equal potential for redemption. IF they truly repent and ask.

We fight against principalities and powers not of this earth, not each other.

And of THAT Enemy, God has give us ALL POWER OVER.

[xbjllb]

Finally, some words of reason from a real conservative, and one I highly respect despite disagreeing with her on some, if not many issues:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/OPINION/11/18/matalin.palin.book/

[Truther]

This health legislation is based on an international model that supposes huge profits for US companies in the near future from developments abroad. It is not happening. No free lunch, no free health care.

I'm glad they are finding resistance against increasing the national debt.

Monica said it "They should first pass health care legislation that controls existing costs from a poorly managed health care system, that is based on limitless spending. AS one doctor put it "Medicare has lots of money".

[Truther]

No free lunch - a prudent approach to governing is not wait to see if a venture will pan out - not spend money assuming the rosiest possibilities. Monica has good political instincts.

What they really need to tell the health profession : "We need you to do more for less".

Could one dare appeal to their patriotism?
