“During a recent interview Michael Bloomberg stated that while ‘you and I’ cannot borrow without consequences, the U.S. government can borrow infinitely. With friends like these, who needs enemies?”

“When I first read this story in the Washington Post about supposedly under-appreciated federal bureaucrats, I was tempted to focus on the sentence referring to ‘the sledgehammer of budget cuts scheduled to hit today.’ Instead I want to focus on the part of the story featuring self-pitying remarks of federal bureaucrats. Excuse me while I wipe away the tears and compose myself. There are so many stories of unbearable hardship. Perhaps we can create a civilian version of the Medal of Honor, given to the bureaucrat who suffers the most because of the ‘sledgehammer’ cuts and those mean people on ‘web sites.'”
“Ron Paul discusses the sequester & why it is just a fear tactic on CNBC’s Money In Motion, hosted by Melissa Lee.”
“If Congress allows sequestration cuts to take effect, more than 170 million Americans could lose their jobs, according to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) ‘If sequestration takes place, that’s going to be a great setback. We don’t need to be having something like sequestration that’s going to cause these job losses — over 170 million jobs that could be lost,’ Waters said.”

“The media are bombarding us with stories of how sequestration, with its ‘drastic cuts’ in government spending, will affect our lives. Marketplace ran one yesterday about the USDA and the potential loss of federal meat inspectors. Don’t worry, we were told, the authorities won’t allow tainted meat on the shelves! But they might inspect more slowly, meaning less meat for sale, and higher prices. I spent 5 minutes on the CBO website and discovered that what’s in play is $27 billion of projected ‘discretionary’ spending. The sequester cuts that by 8% to about $24 billion. So the sequestered 2013 budget is $152 billion, a 4.8% increase over 2012.”

“Hundreds of people turned out across the Tri-State this weekend for what was billed as a ‘Day of Resistance’. These are peace protests in support of the second amendment. Are these people really concerned about their second amendment rights? Vice President Joe Biden says ‘No’.”
“Some ‘experts’ say that women should pee their pants or puke to avoid rape. Are they serious? Guns are better. Don’t pee your pants; make your wannabe rapist pee his pants.”
“The United Nations has come under attack for not practicing what it preaches. It is the ambition of the UN and of the Money Power that sits behind it to monetize ‘carbon pollution.’ Within this context, it seems perfectly logical to request that UN officials support their own green efforts by participating in the commerce they are attempting to inflict on everyone else. We doubt that the UN will do what it demands of others.”

“Does the bullet point list for solutions to global cooling at right look familiar? It reads almost like some of the manifestos we get from warmists today, including the suspension of Democracy. During the 1970s the media promoted global cooling alarmism with dire threats of a new ice age. Extreme weather events were hyped as signs of the coming apocalypse and man-made pollution was blamed as the cause. Environmental extremists called for everything from outlawing the internal combustion engine to communist style population controls. This media hype was found in newspapers, magazines, books and on television.”
