Why did Bernie Madoff go to prison? To make it simple, he talked people into investing with him. Trouble was, he didn't invest their money. As time rolled on, he simply took the money from the new investors to pay off the old investors. Finally there were too many old investors and not enough money from new investors coming in to keep the payments going. Next thing you know Madoff is one of the most hated men in America and he is off to jail.
Some of you know this but not enough of you. Madoff did to his investors what the government has been doing to us for over 60 years with Social Security. There is no meaningful difference between the two schemes except that one was operated by a private individual who is now in jail, and the other is operated by politicians who enjoy perks, privileges and status in spite of their actions.
Do you need a side-by-side comparison? Well here's a nifty little chart.
BERNIE MADOFF vs SOCIAL SECURITY
BM: Takes money from investors with the promise that the money will be invested and made available to them later
SS: Takes money from wage earners with the promise that the money will be invested in a "Trust Fund" and made available later.
BM: Instead of investing the money Madoff spends it on nice homes in the Hamptons and yachts.
SS: Instead of depositing money in a Trust Fund the politicians use it for general spending and vote buying.
BM: When the time comes to pay the investors back Madoff simply uses some of the new funds from newer investors to pay back the older investors.
SS: When benefits for older investors become due the politicians pay them with money taken from younger and newer wage earners to pay the geezers.
BM: When Madoff's scheme is discovered all hell breaks loose. New investors won't give him any more cash.
SS: When Social Security runs out of money they simply force the taxpayers to send them some more.
BM: Bernie Madoff is in jail.
SS: Politicians remain in Washington.

Obama Limits When U.S. Would Use Nuclear Arms EVEN IN SELF-DEFENSE! WTF?
According to Jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:
It really seems as if this regime intends to leave America as weak and defenseless as possible. I've really got to question the motivation here.
President Obama said Monday that he was revamping American nuclear strategy to substantially narrow the conditions under which the United States would use nuclear weapons, even in self defense.
WE now have a president of the United States who would not use all out capabilities to defend the country he has sworn to defend.
But the president said in an interview that he was carving out an exception for “outliers like Iran and North Korea” that have violated or renounced the main treaty to halt nuclear proliferation.
Discussing his approach to nuclear security the day before formally releasing his new strategy, Mr. Obama described his policy as part of a broader effort to edge the world toward making nuclear weapons obsolete, and to create incentives for countries to give up any nuclear ambitions. To set an example, the new strategy renounces the development of any new nuclear weapons, overruling the initial position of his own defense secretary.
Mr. Obama’s strategy is a sharp shift from those adopted by his predecessors and seeks to revamp the nation’s nuclear posture for a new age in which rogue states and terrorist organizations are greater threats than traditional powers like Russia and China.
So it seems he plans to disarm us while charming rogue states into giving up their nuclear ambitions. Sounds like a nifty plan.
-------------------------------------------------
According to Neiman at sayanythingblog.com
Of course, nuclear weapons should only be used as a last resort, most people accept that idea. But, to stop developing new nuclear weapons and to refuse to use them even if we were massively attacked by chemical or biological weapons, IMO is to unilaterally surrender to forces of evil in the world that mean us harm. It is telling the enemy, do everything short of hitting us with nuclear weapons and you have no fear of annihilation, it is telling those developing nuclear weapons and new ways to deliver them, we won’t compete with you, conceding your right of nuclear superiority and power to threaten us.
Reagan wanted to reduce nuclear weapons, he hoped for a world without nuclear weapons, he ended the cold war and negotiated the first reductions; but, he did not trust the enemy, he demanded sure verifications and he would never allow other nations to gain superiority over us or feel they can attack us without the threat of their annihilation. Our current occupant of the White House, not needing congressional approvals, simply decides to disarm us and invite attacks. Is this the change we voted for?
Nothing like Obama letting our enemies know WHEN the United States WOULD use Nuclear Weapons ! ! ! ! Wouldn't you think this should be filed under TOP SECRET? WTF?

Rich to Pay 90% of their Income In Taxes To Fit Obama's Plan. . . .
According to Carolyn Lochhead at sfgate.com:
. . . .Democrats often give the impression that taxes on the rich can fix everything. But the center-left Tax Policy Center ran simulations showing that Obama's budget would have to raise $775 billion in new taxes every year to stabilize deficits at 2 percent of GDP. That means that if Obama keeps his promise not to raise taxes on the middle class, the rich would pay 90 percent of their income in taxes, the center said.
Obama "promised to be honest with the public, and he has a talent for doing so," said Maya MacGuineas, president of the moderate Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. "Yet he hasn't used it yet to describe what types of hard choices will be involved."
Soaring levels of debt $10 trillion Amount the Obama budget will add to the national debt in the next decade.
$5.6 trillion Amount interest costs alone will consume this decade.
63% Debt-to-gross domestic product ratio this year.
90% Debt-to-gross domestic product ratio anticipated within this decade.
-------------------------------------------------
Looks like our country needs to start spending a lot of money really quick. . . .right? Weren't we told that spending a TRILLION dollars on Obamacare was going to save us money in the future? Yep, that's what we were told.
And I can guarantee you that it won't be only the "rich" that will pay 90% of their income in taxes.

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety* deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~ Benjamin Franklin
According to wikipedia.com:
*Safety is the state of being "safe" (from French sauf), the condition of being protected against physical, social, spiritual, financial, political, emotional, occupational, psychological, educational or other types or consequences of failure, damage, error, accidents, harm or any other event which could be considered non-desirable.
School Hugging Ban. . . .
According to Sarah Netter at abc.go.com:
There's the bear hug. The sympathy hug. The pat-the-back hug.
To read the full article go to:School Hugging Ban: Oregon Middle School Principal Says Hands Off - Officials Said Students Were Using Friendly Gesture to Bully Others
All are now strictly forbidden at one Oregon middle school where the principal says some students were using the normally friendly gesture to bully or inappropriately touch other students.
"It built right after winter break," West Sylvan Middle School Principal Allison Couch said. "I was observing students hugging other students and the other students didn't feel comfortable."
And then there were the girls who would run the length of the hallway to hug each other between classes, squealing the entire way.
"We're just trying to quell the huge amount of distractions," she said. "With the girls they would hug five or six or seven times between classes."
While the PTA and most parents are behind Couch, there is a small resistance that has touted her actions as limiting the students' freedom. The debate took to Facebook with the newly created group "Stop the Hug Ban at West Sylvan!!"
"What a joke," one poster wrote. "Kids could be doing so much worse.". . . .
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
Full discretion here. . . .I am a hugger and I love to be hugged. . . .To me hugging is a "Hello - How you been doing" or "I missed you" gesture. . . .Nobody but a pervert would think chest to breast. . . .dong to thong. . . .when giving a hug. . . .
"Hugging" will soon be going underground and we will be like the early Christians when they would make a partial fish symbol in the sand to symbolise that they were a Christian and if you were you would make your mark. . . .Okay that may be a stretch, but maybe we could create hand gestures. . . .Oh wait those would be considered "gang" signs.

I see this as just another instance of school administration loosing control. When did it become a problem for a young teen girl to "squeal" and be happy. I invision pretty soon they will start to gag the pre-schoolers because they make noise. They are slowly taking away every bit of emotion left in children and turning them into robots with no emotion, no noise, no feeling. Why can't the teachers and other staff members just learn to deal with a problem when it arises instead of trying to insure that they never, ever have a problem. If they do not let kids be kids, they will turn into monsters. When is someone going to realize they are totaling wrong in how they are dealing with the children today? Let them be kids and have fun and be delighted to see each other. How sad. This is a big big mistake. Everyone needs to be hugged.

Congressman Ryan on the potential 88% Tax Bracket. . . .
According to Bryan Binkholder financialcoachshow.com:
RYAN: Right now we’re at about 24.7 percent off, just doing that off the top of my head. This bill takes us to about … $2.4 trillion over the ten-year window when you really look at its true costs. That’s a big number on top of there. I think what this does is freezes in place the 25-percent level and then grow up from there. As you probably know with the current projections using CBO’s model shows us within about 20 years, we get to about 35 percent of GDP and in 30 years 40 percent and then take off like a rocket. So this just accelerates that trend where the government actually doubles in size by the time my three kids are my age.
KUDLOW: Doubles in size? Doubles in size.
RYAN: The government doubles in size as a share of GDP by the time my five, six and eight-year-old in my age. I actually had CBO run the numbers for me on the tax rates. Ten percent bracket for low income pairs go to 25 percent. Middle income to 63 percent and the top rate goes to 88 percent under the CBO scoring. We will kill our economy if this is the path we go down. That’s before you count this new health care entitlement on top of it. What we’re doing is creating a new entitlement saying anybody who makes less than 100 grand, if you consume more than 2 to 9.8 percent of health care expenses as a fraction of your income the taxpayer will pay the rest of it.

Genius Solves One of Mathematics' Greatest Puzzles. . . .
According to Will Stewart at dailymail.co.uk:
A Russian awarded $1million (£666,000) for solving one of the most intractable problems in mathematics said yesterday that he does not want the money.
Said to be the world's cleverest man, Dr Grigory Perelman, 44, lives as a recluse in a bare cockroach-infested flat in St Petersburg. He said through the closed door: 'I have all I want.'
The prize was given by the U.S. Clay Mathematics Institute for solving the Poincare Conjecture, which baffled mathematicians for a century. Dr Perelman posted his solution on the internet.
Four years ago, the maths genius failed to turn up to receive his prestigious Fields Medal from the International Mathematical Union for solving the problem.
At the time he stated: 'I'm not interested in money or fame. I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo.
'I'm not a hero of mathematics. I'm not even that successful, that is why I don't want to have everybody looking at me.'
Neighbour Vera Petrovna said: 'I was once in his flat and I was astounded. He only has a table, a stool and a bed with a dirty mattress which was left by previous owners - alcoholics who sold the flat to him.
'We are trying to get rid of cockroaches in our block, but they hide in his flat.'
It was in 2002 that Perelman, then a researcher at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in St. Petersburg, began posting papers online suggesting he had solved the Poincare Conjecture, one of seven major mathematical puzzles for which the Clay Institute is offering $1 million each.
Rigorous tests proved he was correct.
The topological conundrum essentially states that any three-dimensional space without holes in it is equivalent to a stretched sphere.
The puzzle was more than 100 years old when Perelman solved it - and could help determine the shape of the universe.
After 2003 Perelman gave up his job at the Steklov Institute. Friends have been reported as saying he has resigned from mathematics altogether - finding the subject too painful to discuss.
--------------------------------------------------
WOW. . .So brilliant he can "help determine the shape of the universe", but probably couldn't match a pair of socks correctly. . . .

No Church for First Family. . . .
Obama said he would not select a church while living in the White House. “What we have decided for now is not to join a single church, and the reason is because Michelle and I have realized we are very disruptive to services,”. . . . .

Jersey Town Out To Ban Dog Barking; Bird Chirping, Cat Meowing Currently Allowed. . . .
According to Edecio Martinez at cbsnews.com:
Muzzle it!
That's the word in Piscataway, N.J. as officials try to put dog owners on a financial leash if they can't keep their pets quiet for all 24 hours of the day.
In the town about 35 miles northeast of Trenton, an ordinance about incessant barking between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. has been expanded to include barking at any time of day.
And, yes, residents could be fined.
"That's not fair at all. Dogs shouldn't be scrutinized for what?" resident Anthony Brullo told CBS Affiliate WCBS. "They're talking! Talking is their barking!"
The ordinance was expanded to include round-the-clock complaints because the town got about 400 animal noise complaints last year.
-----------------------------------------
Why don't they just go ahead and ban the "dog" and not just the "barking"? Nobody wants to hear a dog barking constantly, but dang to ban barking at all times. . . .
This is soo insane. What the heck is next? Banning crying babies? howling wolves? WTF?
Maybe they should ban "STUPID" people that make up stupid laws. . . .ooops gotta go my dog is barking and wants to come inside. . . .
------------------------------------------
Here's what one lunatic blogger wrote:
This era dogs are used as passive-aggressive weapons: what bullets are to guns, barking is to dogs. Barking kills--a slow, painful death of a million bee stings. Communities should focus on the root cause of the conflict between barking dog and innocent human: the barking is the root cause. It's the BARKING that's the source of the conflict. The source of the conflict is not the barking-sufferer's REACTION to barking, whatever that reaction may be. Chronic barking is molestation. . . . . The barking-sufferer has a right to enjoy her patch of real estate unmolested by barking. The barker needs to get gone. . . . . (WTFever this blogger rants for 7 paragraphs just like this. . . .maybe this fu*ker just needs to get a life)

'This Clown is No Friend to our Children or Their Health' . . . .
According to jammiewearingfool.blogspot.com:
You know what the folks at McDonalds should do in response to this? Add some bacon to the menu.
Hey, Ronald McDonald, it may be time to retire.
Nearly half of Americans polled want the kid-friendly, French-fry chomping icon to call it quits, arguing he contributes to the country's growing obesity epidemic by luring youngsters to fast food joints.
"This clown is no friend to our children or their health," said Deborah Lapidus of Corporate Accountability International, a group that sponsored the poll and protests outside McDonald's around the country.
"He is a deep-fried Joe Camel for the 21st century," she said.
Many of those surveyed had favorable feelings about red-headed Ronald, yet 47% thought it was time for him to go.
But a protest outside McDonald's in Times Square Wednesday didn't sour kids on Ronald.
"He's getting old, but I like Ronald," said 13-year-old Rosemary Frias of the Bronx, who was eager to munch on chicken nuggets and fries. Ditching Ronald, she said, won't "stop kids from getting fat."
An novel thought, perhaps, but that maybe is the responsibility of parents, no?
-----------------------------------------------
According to Frances Moore LappeAuthor at huffingtonpost.com:
Retire Ronald McDonald--Do it for our kids!
I'm relieved that our country's taken a first step in getting a grip on health insurance for all, but we're sunk unless we can now get a grip on our health. With diet implicated in much of our nation's disease burden, it makes a lot of sense to reverse the forces that have turned food itself into a national health threat.
That's why I'm thrilled today, March 31, to take part in the launch of a national campaign to retire Ronald McDonald, who for almost fifty years has enticed youngsters into eating habits with horrific life-long consequences. . . . .

It has been said all along that Obamacare wasn't just about "healthcare", but controlling everything you eat and everything that you like to do. The food nazi's are now on patrol. . . .and so it begins. . . . .

Guam Is Going To Tip Over and Capsize? WTF?
Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA) thinks the Island of Guam will tip over and capsize if the Navy proceeds with plans to station an additional 8,000 personnel on it.
---------------------------------------------------
Do you believe this dumba*s actually read and comprehened the 2700 pages of the very complex Obamacare bill? Idiots like this are now in charge of taking over an additional 1/6th of our economy and don't forget they will soon be trying to pass the "cap and tax" bill on...."errr...errrr...global warming...errr...climate change..." I don't even know how Admiral Robert Willard was even able to keep a straight face listening to this imbecile. AMERICA WE ARE SOOOO SCREWED ! ! ! ! !
UPDATE: According to Rush Limbaugh - Congressman Hank Johnson has hepatitis C. He's had it for ten years. His liver, I'm told, is ravaged. He loses his train of thought in mid-sentence many times. The man simply is not all there because of hepatitis C. That's a bad, bad, bad disease. But Pelosi keeps him on a committee, and she puts him out there where he can be embarrassed when actually this should not happen.
Okay, that's sad, but why the heck is he still in Congress making critical decision for our great nation and also, remember you are paying Congressman Johnson's salary this year -- $174,000.

Code Pink Tries To Arrest Karl Rove. . . .
According to Neiman at sayanythingblog.com:
The Left does not believe in toleration of any views opposing their own, they do not believe in dialogue, they are disdainful of the facts. They are fast becoming urban, soft terrorists.
This Code Pinko co-founder even suggests kidnapping former President Bush, Cheney, Rove and other former administration officials with the help of the Muslim brotherhood.
Oh, this Code Pink co-founder is a close political ally of Obama, but that’s okay!
Top Obama funder, terrorist supporter and Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans assaulted former President George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove Monday evening at a Beverly Hills appearance by Rove to promote his new book, “Courage and Consequence: My Life As a Conservative in the Fight.”
Jodie Evans approached Rove while he was speaking to an audience at the Saban Theater and announced she was making a “citizen’s arrest” as she attempted to place metal handcuffs on him.
Video by KCAL-TV shows Rove pushing Jodie Evans away as she tries to cuff him. The audio picks up Rove saying to Jodie Evans, “No, no, no I didn’t say go ahead. I looked at…You get away!
Two men intervened and pulled Jodie Evans away from Rove.
Jodie Evans can be heard yelling at Rove, “Look what you did! You outed a CIA officer! You lied to take us to war! You ruined a country! Totally ruined a country!”
If these lunatics don't stop messing with my Karl Rove. . . .I might have to open up a Texas size can of whup-ass on them. . . .
