COLLEGE DEBT RELIEF

 IF:

You cannot calculate the impact of interest on a loan maybe you didn't learn much.

You allow yourself so much debt you can never pay it off maybe education was wasted.

You think someone else should pay your college debt maybe you should see your parents!

Education is important, however if you have so much debt you will never realize the financial benefits of a higher education, why waste someone else's money and create stress and hardship for future generations.

Poor decisions on your part do not constitute a responsibility on my part!

Enough said!

POLITICAL ENTITLEMENT EFFECTS

 It is almost impossible for the common man to comprehend the mindset of a career politician, how they think they know what it is like to live in the world that they try to manipulate and make "better". Most are insulated from the realities of working a real job and real life.

Tax and spend is not a real job!

The lack of comprehension of the effects of taxation and inflation has on daily life and the longer-term effects of which destroy the quality of life. 

It is much like the unbridled illegal immigration and the effect on crime, social services, street and road maintenance.

Look around you are the highways and byways as well maintained as in the past, is our standard of living getting better or worse?

 Do you have adequate savings to tide you over during periods of unemployment?

The practice of giving illegal aliens benefits and housing only strains deficit spending more, increases taxation and encourages illegal immigration.

 Granted conditions in their home country are deplorable even detrimental to their health and wellbeing, please explain to me why I must live a diminished life to help and support people who cannot and will not obey the laws of our country, why it is my responsibility to involuntarily provide them with a better life?

 Especially when they refuse to help themselves!

All laws and benefits should have a sunset provision that hinges on the availability of funds and dire need with reviews on a timely basis. With no easy provisions for deficit funding and a workable plan to eliminate the deficit when it occurs.

 When you take money out of my pocket by taxation to give to someone else without my express permission that is socialism.

covid ignorance, ignorance of covid

     Ignorance is treatable with education, why is it so difficult for individuals to become educated about a subject that could impact their lives in a most detrimental way, including their loved ones both young and old.

     Granted reported death numbers are small, however, I don't want to be one of those numbers no matter how small.

 Individual rights interact with individual rights, like a bubble, the kind of individual you are determines the size of your bubble. MY bubble may be much larger than yours depending on culture and family norms. 

Covid is a virus it is in constant flux, (it changes everytime it passes from one body to another) people can transmit Covid to their animals. It is not clear if can be transmitted from all animals to humans although it has happened in the past.

It is now clear there is no chance of herd immunity just a recurring cycle of  new variant , new infections.

Therefore there is but one way to control this virus, stop the spread!, masking, social distancing and frequent hand washing are all tools if we don't use them it will continue to spread and mutate. 

800,000 dead can't be changed but the future can.

Covid-19, Masks and Immunizations

 It would appear that education fosters common sense. That your rights begin where mine leave off.  That your concern for your health would pass on to concern for my health.

None of this is true, the news does not report the truth; therefore there is nothing to compare any statement to the facts and all news organizations have unpublished agendas. 

Masks are uncomfortable, masks are a frontline defense. Masks are not an infringement of my civil rights. They are a sign I care about my fellow man.  Masks do not cause oxygen deprivation, that is just a figment of a deranged mind. 

My civil rights are violated by the person or persons that demand I interact with them sans mask and iterate that I am an idiot for wearing one.

 Being of senior citizen status the Covid-19 and all its variants are detrimental to my continued health and well being.  I do not want to spend my retirement lugging an oxygen bottle or in a nursing home having some burly orderly changing my diaper. I am vaccinated, I had reservations, roughly fifty percent of the population is not vaccinated and will not wear a mask. I do not like those odds! So I got the shot! Forced by uncaring ignorance.

Yes the stats say the dangers are small, I just don't want to be one of those small stats  especially the mortality ones. The odds that the vaccination will cause problems is very small!!!!

Go to the ball games, the bars the crowded restaurants that don't properly clean the tables, bring the Covid-19 back to your family, build the impossible herd immunity and suffer the consequences, just don't ask me to live with your ignorant actions.

Boondoggle, ignorance, waste and the American politician

 It is amazing how moronic the American population is, we need to control the Washington bureaucrats not enable them.

If you are going to vote a Senator out in one party you need to vote in the opposing Representative to maintain the balance of power.

Personally all members of Congress should be impeached and put on trail for the misdeeds they have perpetuated on the American public.

We need a special counsel to investigate the abuse of power by our elected officials especially the ones who have gained extreme wealth since taking office. 

Congress is now the elite they travel in limousines, live in gated communities and have elitist insurance and pay plans passed while the apathy of the American people did nothing to limit their power. 

Term limits would help limit this overbearing power and misuse of hard earned tax payer dollars.

If a country is scamming the American people cut all funds going to that country, do not put monies for them in a stimilus bill and make it look like you are helping rank and file taxpayer. Do not fund the arts with a stimulus bill for the people. Each funding bill should be on its own merit and each voted on seperately!

I've had to block noncontacts from calling me as the number of scam telemarketer calls exceed twenty or more per day. That is harrassment!

I once said common sense does not prevail. I think the quality of education has diminished the ability to reason. 

We do not need to impeach a President that will be out of office in a matter of days this is a wholesale waste of taxpayer monies. 

I thnk the whole circus is to divert our attention from the swamp and the long term alligators perpetuating their reign of incompetnce and the media is riding the bandwagon because they think they need to control the American public also.

The basics of journalism are, answer the who, what, where, when and how. Not lying by omission!

Wake up America it may be too late!

Pork and the Pandemic

 We need to limit the powers of Congress, these people have become entrenched and so attached to the government dole that they continually line their pockets with taxpayer money.

I we had any sense we would impose term limits! Possibly we should have a declining salary, the longer you are in congress the less you make. It would give them incentive to get out and find a real job.

The newest stimulus bill has so much pork in it and aid to other than American citizens it is shameful.

 I don't sanction handouts, however we have a crisis with the pandemic that will never go away. We need to figure ways to create an economy that can sustain itself with the pandemic restrictions. 

We need leadership, not more government!

We do not need more taxes or more restrictions we need solutions to an ongoing problem, monies given to congressional members will not help the American people.

The last election taught me that we have arrived at the slippery slope and and fallen.

  We cannot recover the self-reliance and independent spirit that built this country if we don't stop relying on government handouts.

Stimulus is one thing and continuing payments because you are lazy or stupid is a complete different animal.

I have doubt that we have enough education and drive to offset this trend of bigger government that will soon control every aspect of our lives. Wake up people it may be too late to reverse the trend!

Respect and assimilation

As age grows on me I see things I could not understand as a young man.

The natives that lived here prior to the arrival of the Europeans had culture, laws and respect for other tribes. Like us they had renegades that did not want to follow the rules.

We the Europeans distroyed their culture, their history and their livelihood. We put them on reservations to control them and continued to destroy their culture, language and history.

The black man was enslaved and sold by his neighbors. They were purchased by many different countries as slave labor. Not just here in the USA!

Once they were "freed" after the Civil War they built communities apart from their white neighbors and were quite successful. They had respect for each other and their white neighbors.

 Someone decided they needed to be integrated into our society and didn't pay any attention the failures of the assimilation of the native Americans.

Somewhere in time we lost respect for our neighbors of color or did they lose respect for us?

The Spaniards assimilated and destroyed many civilizations and cultures. Possibly we are following their lead !

Respect is earned! One of the definitions of respect is: due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights or traditions of others. The other is feeling of deep admiration for someone elicited by their abilities, qualities or achievements.

The door of respect swings both ways. You must show the other person you have due regard for their life.
There are several movements in our country today that do not understand respect.

It is all one way, bow down to my demands or I'll destroy and pillage your homes, business and life.

 All sides have made major mistakes I think if you put things in pespective the percentages are really small. Which in turn makes certain movements divisive and disrespectful. Think about it!
