I've been on the road, and not sure when I'll be able to connect to the 'net again, so this may be several days old news when you read this. Continuing and confirming what I've been telling you for the last several weeks, Standard and Poor's has just officially rated U.S. Treasury bonds as negative, sending the stock and bond markets into the first, and so far minor, tizzy. Folks, this is only the beginning, and I predict somewhat of a recovery for a short period of time. The major collapse won't happen until the IMF removes the dollar as the world standard currency. WHICH MAY HAPPEN AS SOON AS NEXT MONTH, but surely within 1 to 1 ½ years. This is another major red flag, and warning to those sharp enough to heed the signs.
Lest you think I am a voice crying in the wilderness, USA Today's editorial page today (4/18/11) is confirmation of everything I've been telling you about the last several weeks. If you have faith in our politicians in D.C. to do what's necessary to avoid the coming collapse, then do nothing. If you, like me, have lost faith in our politicians to actually accomplish anything that doesn't involve their reelection, then you need to take steps to protect your assets. Once again, I am not going to give you any concrete advice, other than to say put your money in things and places that do not involve the U.S. dollar. The rest is up to you.

STATES REVOLT AGAINST OBAMA'S POWERGRABS
Some good news for a change. Over half the states have court cases or legislation pending opposing various facets of the federal governments unprecedented and unconstitutional seizures of power.
27 states are petitioning the Supreme Court to overturn Obamacare on constitutional grounds. This should be a no-brainer for the court. The constitution specifically gives the federal government certain powers, and cedes everything else to the states. Requiring every citizen to purchase insurance under threat of fines and jail is definitely not one of them.
24 states have bills in their legislatures or have already passed clones of Arizona's immigration law.
13 have bills requiring presidential candidates to prove their eligibility (natural born citizen) before being listed on their ballots.
8 states, led by Montana, have bills or have passed legislation exempting firearms manufactured and sold in their states from all federal gun laws.
Utah, recognizing the coming worthlessness of US paper money has legalized gold and silver for legal tender.
Even the somewhat liberal states of Vermont and New Hampshire are raising Cain about federal interference.
Good to see people are finally waking up and paying attention!

OBAMA'S BUDGET SPEECH = A CAMPAIGN STUMP
Once again President Obama showed what a good orator and campaigner he is. The man is excellent at giving wonderful, motivational speeches that really say nothing. I suffered the pain of watching for 10 minutes or so and came away with three thoughts.
1. He is reposturing himself for the 2012 campaign, reading the voters writing on the wall and all of a sudden he's "concerned" with the deficit. I see on Fox News this morning I wasn't the only one to get this.
2. He's still way out in la la land, thinking wealthier people WANT to pay more taxes.
3. Why do these politicians all call Social Security and Medicare "entitlements" and say they're the programs that have to be cut?
Let's examine number 3 a bit. The last time I checked they were still taking Social Security (6.something %) off of worker's paychecks. And employers were still required to contribute a matching 6.whatever %. Self employed pay both, 12.something % And Medicare was still being deducted. Get this politicians:
YOUR DAMN RIGHT I'M ENTITLED TO GET MY OWN MONEY BACK, WITH INTEREST!!!
Now Medicaid is a horse of a different color. That's free healthcare for illegal aliens and welfare recipients. Why don't they talk about getting rid of that???
Now let's look at number 2: the wealthy want to pay more taxes. Yeah, they're talking about 200k and up. If they wanted to pay more taxes why do they all pay accountants to find every single deduction they possibly can??? Why do corporations have entire departments who do nothing but structure their financials to get every tax break they can? Pay off politicians with campaign donations to created loopholes for them???? Huh, tell me why Mr. President.
Now I was not even close to their idea of wealthy, but I did make decent money. Here's what they used to take off my paycheck: Over 18k in federal withholding. 6 or 7k for Medicare. Don't remember what the Medicaid was. And I paid that kind of money for many years. YES, I want my Social Security and Medicare. At my job that generated that income, I worked close to 70 hours a week. Would YOU want to pay more than 25k in fed taxes a year to support people who don't work??? No, I didn't think so.. Somehow I doubt anyone else does either.
Ok, number 1: Unfortunately, history tells me that close to half of the people in this country today will fall for his B.S. again. Remember that come Nov. 2012 and make sure YOU vote.

OUR GOV NOW AS CORRUPT AS ANY 3RD WORLD COUNTRY
It seems like almost every day now there is a new revelation about the corrupt shenanigans being perpetrated at the expense of every US taxpayer, and indeed, the welfare of our country. Well, here's another one. Obama and his cronies are repaying the unions and campaign donors with another $5 billion of OUR money.
Did you know that Obama care includes $5 billion to reimburse profitable companies, unions, and state pension funds (another union deal) for healthcare costs of early retirees? No, I didn't think so, because "we had to pass the bill in order to find out what's in it". Of course you recognize that quote from our genius former House majority leader, Nancy Pigosi. Just for starters, how about $206 million to the United Auto Workers? $37 million to GE, who earned 14 billion last year and paid $0 in taxes. (see: GE taxes -why we need to get the crooks out 3/28/11)
This revelation follows directly on the heels of the news about McDonalds, Wal-Mart, and 9,998 other corporations being granted exceptions to complying with the new health care law.
Which follows the news of the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on American citizens, the financial bailout / housing repo ripoff I wrote about earlier. (See: Biggest legal scam in history 4/5/11)
Our government, both the politicians and the bureaucrats, are so utterly corrupt today that IF we were still putting men on the moon they'd smell the stink all the way up there.
WE CAN PUT A STOP TO ALL OF THIS in Nov. of 2012. Do not have a short memory, like so many voters of today. Stay informed, stay active, and be part of the solution.

AMERICAN BUSINESS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
My day today is a sad commentary on the state of American business. I had to deal with 5 businesses today and only one didn't get me aggravated by lousy service or rip off practices.
1. Found out I can't get my teeth cleaned by a new dentist unless I spend $135 for xrays first.
2. Called a business I had ordered a new DSLR camera from last Wed. and didn't even have a shipping confirmation for yet. Ah, no wonder no confirmation, hasn't been shipped yet. Seems they don't keep ANY inventory, must order stuff after it's sold. Then I'm told I can have it shipped 3 day for $40. Duh, they'd make about $25 on the shipping. Unhappy? Too bad, cancel your order, you won't get any better service anywhere else.
3. Go to the local Ford dealership for a recall reprogram of the ECM and an oil change on my diesel pickup. Included in the oil change is supposed to be a free 27 point inspection that looks at tires/pressures/brakes/lights, drain water from the fuel filter, etc. Good thing I happened to be standing outside when the tech brought it around. Asked him how the tire pressures were and he told me he hadn't checked. Asked him if there was any water in the fuel filter, guess what? Yep, hadn't done it.
4. My credit card bill came in a USPS envelope. Must have been in a truck with a leaking roof or something. It had gotten soaked. About the only thing you could read was my name and address.
So, call the credit card company to ask them to send me another bill. Sorry, I don't speak Pakistani or Indian. I THINK they'll be sending me another, but not totally certain.
The only good experience of the day was walking into my local bank and being greeted by name, not only by the teller, but also by the customer service rep. Of course, they've got my money :-)
As I've said before, we are sinking to the level of our own mediocrity

Addendum 4/12/11: Was pleasantly surprised at the dentist this morning. Once I was talking to someone other than the receptionist, and they understood the situation, no problem. In fact, I'm sure I'm going to like these people.

OBAMA GOES FOR ANOTHER POWER GRAB ALA CHAVEZ
Pay attention, this is getting positively scary. Obama has already succeeded in consolidating far more power in the executive branch than was ever envisioned by the founding fathers or done by any previous president. Through his appointment of dozens of "czars" not needing congressional confirmation to run huge agencies, takeover of the financial and auto sectors of business, and governing through executive orders he is following the footsteps of Hugo Chavez, Adolf Hitler, Fidel Castro et al. Now he wants Congress to exempt from their approval key positions in the Justice Dept. having to do with gun control.
In the past, I've always mentally rolled my eyeballs up when people start talking about conspiracies, but I'll tell you folks, this is really starting to worry me. Envision this: as I've said in previous posts, we are very close to the IMF removing the US dollar as the world's standard currency, resulting in an immediate devaluation of the dollar to the tune of 25 to 40%. That makes every single thing you buy cost 25 to 40% more, including food. This is what precipitated the riots and overthrow of the government in Egypt, and is fueling the unrest everywhere else in the world. It's coming here. Yes, riots in the streets because people can't feed themselves or their kids. I haven't been able to figure out why Washington hasn't been doing something about this, they surely know. Maybe I've finally got it. What a perfect opportunity to declare martial law, putting ALL control in the hands of the President. Martial law suspends the Constitution, allowing the President complete control of everything, INCLUDING THE PRESS.
Am I getting paranoid in my old age or do you think I might be on to something here? Your comments are welcome.

HARRY REID ALMOST BROKE MY TV
Watched some of Harry Reid's budget speech to the Senate yesterday. After about 5 minutes I wanted to punch him so bad I almost put my fist through my television set. What a lying, conniving, piece of sh** he is. He and Nancy Pigosi, what a pair they make.
Here's the scenario: Republicans wanted to remove funding for our state sponsored abortion factory, Planned Parenthood. Did you know your taxes paid for 330,000 abortions last year? Yes, they do offer other services such as free mammograms, STD treatment, and giving your 13 year old daughter birth control without your consent, but their major thing is abortion. Now, back to Reid. "My wife, daughters, and granddaughters will be denied medical care." Uh huh, you read that right. Reid's own wife, daughters, etc. Does anyone with an IQ over 70 actually believe Reid's family is going to Planned Parenthood for their medical care? I'll believe that when pigs fly. Yet that's what he claimed.
What makes me so angry is the deliberate lying. Folks, these scumballs know darn well what is happening because of their profligate spending ways, know darn well the country is on the verge of bankruptcy, yet continue on the same path for the sake of the votes of the freeloaders, illegal aliens, homosexuals, etc. Why do you think they refuse to actually do something about our border problems?
Barring a miraculous event on the scale of the return of Jesus Christ, I predict things in D.C. are not going to change before the 2012 elections, meaning it's going to be too late. Read my previous posts on the IMF's pending removal of the US dollar as the world standard currency.
