Cost, cutting and THE REAL PROBLEM

Now that the Debt Ceiling has been raised and both parties have agreed to some form of compromise.....we can begin to learn what they did and didn't do. It will take time to sort out all the details but it appears that the wealthy and corporuptions are once again protected. The raising of additional revenue through tax increases appears to be off the table. I'll repeat it one more time. GENERAL ELECTRIC PAID NO FEDERAL INCOME TAXES IN 2010.

There will be cuts in the Military Budget but how much is still to be determined.

In 2010 the military budget was $685 BILLION. That does not include the cost of operating two military events in Iraq and Afghanistan. That separate expenditure cost $171 BILLION in 2010.

The estimate of the two war fronts since 2001 is $1,291 TRILLION.

The question being put forth by those who support American Wyatt Earp operations around the globe is......

WHO DO YOU WANT POLICING THE PLANET OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?

The answer from the opposite side of the fence is.....

AREN'T THERE ENOUGH CONSCIENTIOUS COUNTRIES ON THE PLANET TO SHARE THAT INTENSE RESPONSIBILITY?

I realize that conscientious countries might be a vague term but if you apply freedom, logic, compassion, harmony, charity and wealth than you can easily name multiple players that fall under the heading of possessing a higher level of conscientiousness. Obviously there are some countries that have wealth but appear to be lacking in the other categories.

What WE seem to be doing with our current budget fiasco is attacking the less fortunate...which goes against the grain of why we are one of the good guys.

WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT 12 MILLION PEOPLE ARE STARVING IN REFUGE CAMPS IN SOMALIA AND NOBODY SEEMS INTERESTED, THEN YOU START TO QUESTION THE BASIC MORAL FIBER OF ALL COUNTRIES.

Why can't we drop sacks of grain and rice right in the middle of those camps? Why can't we deliver millions of bottles of water to those camps?

WHY CAN'T MASSIVE LARGE CORPORATIONS PAY FEDERAL INCOME TAX?
WHY CAN'T PENSIONS BE CONSTRUCTED SENSIBLY?
WHY CAN'T PROSPEROUS COUNTRIES SHARE IN THE COST OF FIGHTING TERRORISM?
HOW DO POLITICANS MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WHILE IN PUBLIC OFFICE?
WHY CAN'T WELFARE FRAUD BE CONTROLLED?
WHY CAN'T OIL RICH DESERT COUNTRIES DO GREAT THINGS FOR HUMANITY INSTEAD OF JUST BUILDING RIDICULOUS TOURIST ATTRACTIONS AND BUYING RACE HORSES.

There are so many questions to be asked and so many not to be answered, and if I were to make a wild guess I would think all the current Budget Bullshit is simply a ploy by two similar political parties to take our focus off the target.

THE REAL TARGET THAT IS PREVENTING AN ECONOMIC RECOVERY FROM TAKING PLACE......

HOW DO YOU REPLACE MANUFACTURING AND SERVICE SECTOR JOBS THAT HAVE SHIPPED TO OTHER COUNTRIES IN ORDER TO REDUCE EXPENDITURES AND INCREASE PROFITS?

It's like a slight of hand card trick and nobody seems to have an answer on how it's suppose to work.

In the meantime....The Global Community (and that means everyone) needs to focus on 12 million starving and dying people in Africa....and they need to focus
TODAY!

A REAL TIME EFFORT TO HELP REPAIR A PLANET THAT SEEMS TO HAVE LOST IT'S WAY ON THE ROAD TO THE NEXT HIGHER STAGE OF HUMAN EVOLUTION. (it will happen with or without you and me but it's nice to be involved in the process don't you think?)

BUT INSTEAD WE HAVE BUDGET BULLSHIT TO DIVERT OUR FOCUS!

JUST TAKE A SMALL PORTION OF THAT MILITARY BUDGET AND SEND RICE, GRAN AND WATER TO AFRICA...AND THEN USE OUR WYATT EARP GLOBAL MENTALITY TO MAKE OTHER WEALTHY COUNTRIES PARTICIPATE IN THE ENDEAVOR.

EVERYONE WILL FEEL BETTER!

TODAY WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO START

NOW
WOULD BE
EVEN
BETTER!
