Round Up Star Date 2021.264

1. Same old song and dance. Well, here we are with the government up against the debt ceiling. The minority party is balking at raising the limit while the majority is saying they all must “do the right thing” and raise the limit. The majority can do it on its own with no support from the minority but that is a political suicide waiting to happen. That amounts to giving your opponent the tools with which to beat you. A familiar story is playing out. The limit was hit in July but extreme measures will keep the US running until mid October and they have not been able to reach a deal so the compromise is to extend the limit short term, until December (and of course tack a few trinkets on for good measure), and then they will have time to accomplish raising the debt limit and funding the government. This plays out every time. Here is what will happen; they will pass the short term limit increase and then in December, right as Christmas approaches and they all want to go home they will pass a huge increase in the debt limit and spend a boatload of money to appease each other. Then they will come before the cameras with the majority telling its supporters they finally made the minority come around to the correct way of thinking. They didn’t get all they wanted but they got a lot. The minority will come before the cameras and tell us that they tried but dog gone it they just could not prevent the increase. They will all go back inside, slap each other on the back and head home for the holidays while taxpayers are left wondering how they were raped yet again. This happens all the time. If they needed more time they should have spent August working on it instead of on recess. They should be working on this instead of the BS global warming new deal crap. But this has been planned all along. They always push things until December and then work around the clock to make us think they are negotiating. Then they hit us with a predetermined outcome, they pretend they did the best they could and they pretend that it is good for the country.
2. If they want to fix the debt issue the first thing to do is to cut government spending. Both parties spend more than we have even when the government receives record levels of income from our taxes. The more they get the more they spend. We need to take a cleaver to the federal budget. I think that they should cut all unconstitutional spending. I do not want to entertain ideas about how they twist the Constitution to allow things. Nowhere in there is there a provision for paying welfare (no, the preamble and the general welfare statement are not about that kind of welfare). We do not need to send billions of dollars to other countries. We are not the world’s ATM. Let them fend for themselves. There are agencies not authorized under the Constitution, get rid of them. Pare the government down to those things only authorized by the Founding Documents and make it a lean government. Once we have cut the trillions of dollars of waste we can go about changing the budget process. Right now, federal agencies are spending billions of dollars on things they do not need and should not be buying. The government’s fiscal year ends 30 September and each year around this time agencies that have excess money go on spending sprees to buy furniture, computers, office supplies, you name it. They spend billions of dollars instead of turning the unspent money back in. They do this because next year’s budget is based on this year’s and they are afraid if they return money they will get less for next year. This is a terrible way to run anything. If a business ran like this Congress would be calling the CEOs in for a chat. I think they should go to a two year federal budget where agencies submit requests for the amount of money they need to operate. Any agency with money left over at the end of the process would return it and the agency would receive a small percentage of that money for morale, welfare and support programs as an incentive. All agencies would be barred from making huge purchases in September.
3. If it were my wife or daughter. The Biden Regime cares little about Americans or the nation. He is mandating vaccines for citizens who do not want them but allowing ILLEGAL aliens to enter the country and be released without being vaccinated. Biden had a catastrophic withdraw from Afghanistan that, after 20 years, billions of dollars, lost lives and life altering injuries, is right back where it started. Biden’s hasty and poorly conceived withdraw resulted in tens of thousands of Afghanis, mostly men of fighting age, ending up in the US. These people are being housed at military bases across the nation until Biden can release them into different states. It seems that many governors are happy to have them. That is probably because governors get armed police to protect them. Whistleblower reports indicate these Afghanis are causing problems at the military bases including criminal acts, assault and RAPE. It should come as no surprise because where ever they put Middle Eastern men there is always an uptick in crime and there is always an uptick in rape. These people do not care about women and they think it is perfectly OK to rape them. Biden is importing this. I can’t figure, for the life of me, why no member of the military who has been affected has not opened fire and eliminated the problem. If it were my wife or daughter I would hunt the bastard down and shoot him. I would then smear his body with pig grease and hang him for the buzzards to eat as a reminder to the others. Biden plans of filtering these people into your neighborhoods. All I can say is if they come to your neighborhood and cause trouble shoot them. In a sane world these people would have been put in other ME nations where they could engage in their 7th century lifestyle with like minded people. In a slightly less sane world the people will be released in the neighborhoods of liberals so they can live with their blunder. In my world they get shot if they step out of line. IOW, touch the women in my family and you die.
4. Big brother is watching. Biden wants to have your bank report any balance over $600 to the government in order to keep tabs on what billionaires are doing with their money because everyone knows everyone with $600 in the bank is a billionaire. The government wants to keep track of your money (probably so they know if you have more for them to take) and that is never a good thing. Now there is word that instead of your standard credit score developed by looking at your loan and payment history as well as debt to income ratio they want to start using your browsing history to determine your credit worthiness. The internet already tracks a lot of what you do and you might have to provide a browser history when applying for a loan if the International Monetary Fund (IMF) gets its way. The claim is that this will help the underserved or those who might not make it based on the old standards. Here is a clue, this will not be good for anyone but the government. I am opposed to government being involved in anything in my life so I am certain I will not be providing my browser history. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea deserves what happens to them. I would say that they could make it voluntary so that if your loan was not approved you could then submit your history but that would only lead to more abuse. Soon EVERYONE would be denied so that they could get a peek at your browser history. I do not need them looking at my browser to get a loan. I damn sure will not let them tell me otherwise. We are well on our way to the systems set up in Australia and China. Eventually you will comply or you will get nothing. Sounds to me like that jackass Mark Zuckerberg was involved in writing this up. He loves all the info on you he can get so he can target you with ads. Put your money in a credit union. They do not have to report your balance (I bet most of Congress has their money in a credit union).
5. It is a good start. The government is a revolving door between federal service and contractors or lobbyists. The Defense Department is a prime example. People at the Pentagon leave the service and go to work for a defense contractor drawing a huge salary for the connections they have inside the Puzzle Palace.
A recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report found that 14 major military contractors have hired 1,718 former senior Pentagon officials over a five-year span. A group of good-governance advocates are pushing reforms seeking to prevent potential conflicts of interest posed by this activity.
The Sept. 9 GAO report found that of 1,497,882 people who left the Department of Defense (DOD) between 2014 and 2019, 37,032 of them went to work for one of the 14 major contractors reviewed. Of those, 1,718 were senior officials, according to the report. ~ Source
The government is attempting to remedy this by placing a one year (or two) wait on people transitioning from the government to the contractors. I think that anyone who was involved in any aspect of the contract business regardless of which company or companies they dealt with should have to wait a long time, perhaps five years, before working for a contractor. I think any contractor who recruits should be penalized and I think anyone who uses their service to benefit themselves through the contractor (in violation of the law) should receive jail time. But let us not stop there. Members of Congress should be forbidden from leaving government and going to lobbyists, think tanks and any other groups that pay them lots of money for access to government. I personally think all lobbyists (K street) should be forced to move out of DC and not be allowed to lobby members of Congress while it is in session. I would forbid all lobbying but I imagine that would violate a right or two. I also think that people should not be allowed to come from the companies doing business with the government to work for the government. There are rules in place but Congress has exemptions it can grant so they just ignore common sense and grant exemptions. If we had followed the rules Lloyd Austin would not be the SECDEF and maybe, just maybe, 13 souls would not have been lost in Kabul. We might not have all the social justice BS distracting the military from its primary mission. We need reform but it has to have teeth so people face serious problems when they go astray.
