HITTING THE FINANCIAL WALL

I was watching Varney & Company on the Fox Business Channel this morning. If your cable or dish network doesn't offer this channel "Demand It!" OK. The commercial is over.

This morning Stuart Varney had a Union representative on one segment. The interviewee, Matt O'Conner,  is from  the "State Employees Bargaining Coalition" in Connecticut. He was on the program lamenting the fact that the state is going to lay off between 6,000 and 8,000 (he didn't have an exact number) state employees. But, wait. This news isn't the incredible part.

Although details are still vague, the union apparently nixed concessions the state needs to stay financially solvent. How could this self-destructive vote happen? Well...are you ready for this?...even though the majority of union members voted to accept the concessions the voted ended up a NO VOTE. W T H? HUH?

Reading between the lines of Mr. O'Conner's comments; it appears that the Union loaded its voting privileges by giving members different weighted votes, eg, some votes counted more than others. Now THAT'S DEMOCRATIC...!? I wonder, those lesser voters pay less dues?

Matt O'Conner, actually seemed apologetic, or at the very least, apologetic...I don't know why... Oh, yes I do. Sometime long ago, the senior union thugs decided that they should rule, even over the lowly union newbies. To do this they gave them self something akin to "preferred voting rights". Ya really gotta love all that union love and 'unity'. Hey, that sounds just like how the LPs act today (one more time - LPs = Liberal Progressives, who stand firmly about one million miles to the left of those Democrats who still think rationally from time to time).

What all this union BS means is that they really don't give a darn if governments across the country have or are ready to hit the financial wall. There is no more money for politicians to promise to spread around in order to buy votes. "Tough luck state voters and politicians...we want our money!!! (or we will continue having hissy fits, just like POTUS did last night)"

I had neighbors who consistently lived waaaaay above their means. My wife would comment occasionally lament that "they have a new car, pool", etc. I had to remind her that yes, they did, but we pay our bills. They don't. I knew that the neighbors were playing credit card roulette. So, my wife wasn't too shocked when she walked across the street one day and found the door open and the house empty. The neighbors had slinked away in the night (actually, over a weekend we were out of town). She made attempts to call 'her friends', but the phones were cut off. This was before the days of cell service.

To sum things up. The neighbor's financial juggling game simply ran out of cash and they lost everything...house foreclosed, cars repossessed, and legions of creditors searching for them. We saw them and spoke to some of them. These were hunter/killers. They were very serious about tracking our neighbors down and collecting, what? IOUs. Like America today, there simply isn't any money to pay.

Unions and our illustrious dumb-assed president are the corresponding cases. Both want what simply doesn't exist. There is no money. Yesterday, obama, acting like the demagogue, whiney, two year old he is, stormed out of the budget cap talks with Republicans. Yep, like a two year old. "Ya won't play by my rules, or allow me to cheat when I want to?, well, then I'm taking my ball and stomping away...I'll show you...!" Republicans just shook their heads...well, except for prissy, RINO dweebs like mitch mcconnel, who isn't mature enough to make a stand against cheating.

Well, this kind of behavior may be part of sand lot baseball, but this jerk has his finger on the nuclear button, and he is not a rational individual...he never was!

Before he was elected I was chided for calling him things like the "Anti Christ". Unlike so many dim-witted Americans, I remembered our last presidential nutcase, Jimmy Carter. I also remember lying manipulators like LBJ and Nixon, and our most recent pervert Billy 'unzip' Clinton. I continue to be amazed that so called rational voters continue to vote these kinds of jerks into office, while those same people demand the immediate termination of any corporate executive who acted the same way (well, maybe immelt would be an exception becuase he receive that same 'hall pass' as obama).

America has hit a financial wall. Enough of the craziness! All the 'credit cards' have been maxed out. It's time for financial responsibility at the top. That means we must rid ourselves of the nutcase in the white house and his socialist and communist thugs. All but the most moronic Americans, like alan colmes and bob bechtel, etc. should see that by now. We can forgive bob. He's probably fallen off the wagon and is not responsible for his on screen behavior. But alan colmes and other pseudo elite dweebs like him were simply bullied too much in the school yards of their pasts to change. The will continue 'to brag about how safe the Titanic is', even as the majestic ship slips quickly beneath the waves.

writer's note: If you haven't figured this out yet. I do not capitalize the names of people whom I feel seek to undermine America and the American Constitution.

God Bless America...God Save America!
