Tea Party Serenity: Living A Reality Within One’s Means

Serenity: A Living Reality …One Within One’s Means

Peacefully …in Unity …Prepared to Actually Handle the Affects

of …

Inflation’s Oncoming Reality …Debt Load Costs Not Withstanding

Like the Revolutionary Tea Party of old; there was a certain fight which preceded the peace which resulted from the effort. No pain …no gain.

My father used to say; “…If it is worth keeping; it is worth fighting for …”

Isn’t time to hold our elected servants to this rule …the one which should apply to how much America values fighting for accountability and fiscal responsibility?

Now that America has had almost three years to consider these values; isn’t it just about time we stand up for stronger measures which safeguard such values …those which are worthy of a truly great fight’s effort.

Then, let’s go the distance …even if it takes us the effort to last till the last round, OK?

TKO’d in the 2012th round! How about it America!?

Are you ready for it?

What Goes Around …Shuts It Down

Are not tax receipts scarce enough? Are the costs associated with America’s Public Debt set to rise? Are inflationary pressures subsiding? Will Washington’s willingness to lower taxes gain wisdom and understanding in consideration of the private sector’s power to do the heavy lifting? Will energy costs fall? Will wages rise? Will expendable income go up? Will discretionary spending rise? Is housing making a turn for the better?

How is it that Washington can’t get it?

Are they losing it; or …have they already lost it?

One thing is for sure, the citizenry’s patience is running on empty in the wake of the last few years of shame and blames’ finger pointing.

America can no longer afford to waste time in grasping at straws.

Now …since last November’s mid-terms …even the blame de-jour …The

tea Party is being spun as the lastest in a long line of what is being portrayed as the politically incorrect problem.

Oh Brother, please!

And if today if is not urgent enough; why give and allow politicians the luxury of another opportunity in still …the greater self-service of merly mismanaging one more crisis-management moment?

Now is not the time to allow Congress to kick this growing crisis-in-the-making further down the road.

Today is the crisis when the patient fails to realize the size and scope and the potential of the illness whose grips deciets are stronger than the will of the patient.

America is beset with political pride, and is blind to its ill-borne affects.

Now is not the time to engage in more blame and shame.

Now is not the time to put off until tomorrow what should be done today.

To do so …is to become the problem’s better …most principal part …the cancer which will not go away, but grows faster than the exasperation of the crisis itself …especially in the wake of blame and shame’s pride; the lord of plausible denial …behind which is hinding …no vialbe workable alternative solution.

Today is time to turn on a dime and sieze the day.

And on this dime, isn’t it time to grow our way out of this organically …rather than with smoke and mirrors?

I say that it is time to call a senator or two.

What’s Next; a Tripple Dip or a Fire Sale?

On Three Day Garage Sales

Hello again!

I need to ask you for a little more patience and understanding.

I realize that I have all but, just about stretched your willingness to extend me any more accommodating forbearance beyond the reasonable limits of good prudence and logic.

Therein, please do not despair; yet I would like you to accept my indulgences in making one more urgent request regarding a most unexpected matter.

You see, while I’m continuing to have problems in that I am still struggling to handle and cope with my day to day and month to month financial obligations …some sequence of unforeseen and rather dire misfortunes have rocked my world recently.

You see; there just couldn’t be any worse timing for … true to my nature, I have some how (…once again) managed to spend way too much money this last month.

So, again …I guess that I am just going to have to hold another (treasury auction) garage sale …one more in a long string of on-going, huge, three-day garage sales.

However, this particular (treasury auction) garage sale is going to have to be different due to a variety of matters (quantitative easing not withstanding) whose issues have culminated to conspire against my lack of (Boy Scout/Girl Scout) preparedness …and has taken me totally off guard.

The Demise of QE-2

The Demise of QE-2

Oh, Really?

Speculation and QE-2 Go together like a horse and buggy.

Or was that …like a 1.64 Trillion Dollar deficit and a rather conflicted Federal Reserve?

Or was that like a 3.7 Trillion Dollar Budget and a rather conflicted Congress?

In view of the administration’s disdain for the express will of the people such as became manifest and more than abundantly clear last November…the question remains as to whether or not QE-2 is to go …or stay and become supplanted by what may become QE-3 is anybody’s question …or is it?

Unlike what would otherwise be like a deep black secret …the demise of QE-2 is anything but …beyond top-secret.

Instead, whether QE-2 is to stay or go …is something which Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is not surprisingly …now, more than less …obligated to disclose openly to the likes of Congress …namely, to satisfy the likes of a more than entitled curiosity …the itchy ears …of the likes of those of Senator Ron Pall not withstanding.

Re.: Monetary and Fiscal Responsibility;

And while bad habits are easily learned and obtained; they are not so easily worked free from …in reversing their affects’ impacts.

These take prayer and fasting.

Take a rather strange lesson from an otherwise foreign focus and vision …one generated in mixing an atmosphere of strong necessity with one of equally strong discipline and regimented resolve.

That’s why the Germans have been rather more successful in adopting …with their engrained mind-set of discipline …a more prudent and reasonable rationale in their approach to borrowing limits …capping their annual budget deficits and public debt to correspond to certain guidelines which pertain to strict percentage-based guidelines of their economy’s actual performance …foregoing the urge to bet on the come …as it were …as hope seems to have become warped here in America.

This more responsible sort of balanced approach to fiscal due diligence and disciplined oversight of the budget processes returns a service to the people of Germany which kind of reminds me of the purpose which the President’s Pay Czar was intended to serve …

…Namely that of accountability …in light of an emphasis which was supposed to be centered about openness and clarity.

No Child Left …or Right; Get Behind Me!

The three year anniversary marking the release and launch of Obama campaign slogan rhetoric; “Yes We Can!” is quickly approaching and one thing America has realized is…

No We Can’t!!!

Re: An open letter to Amanada Drury

Amanda Drury, you are a rock star.
You have a sharp wit and the intelligence required to connect the dots.
In my last post: 666 China’s Currency Evaluation I really didn’t expect many …if any to actually make the connection.
Instead, I expected most to discount the numerical reference …taking it instead, merely …as a fundamentalist’s biblical reference rather than the rather obscure and implicit reference to the low-water mark of the market index.
CNBC’s Senior Host, Mark Haines should be able to appreciate this; as, he will be, among all people …the first to take credit for having called the Haines bottom of the market …its remarkable reversal’s pivot point.
In this regard, I must say; way to go Mandy!!!
Kudos for your intellect and your unassuming patience.
Brilliant!!!
Outstanding amongst a forest of petrified redwood egos.
All the best, and keep up the good work!!!

666 China’s Currency Evaluation

Bond Prices demise? How?

That’s not just even the half of it all.

None the less, today …Ben Bernanke’s call to cut spending and embrace physical responsibility was about as weak as his attempts were to justify down-playing QE’s impact upon commodity prices and the unmistakable presence of inflation …passing them off as factors attributable chiefly to the expansion of demand stemming from developing emerging market nations.

No matter how the Ben Bernank slices it, and no matter what components he can righly, justly, or otherwise care to conveniently factor out of the inflation indexes, low wages and or labor components are no means worthy to justify the excuse to continue down a path which destroys the strength of the American dollar …for merely a greater interest …that which allows thee governmetn to skate free …merely to justify paying a lower (weak-dollar) interest service costs …merely to afford to carry the public debt ….merely to be able, primarily …just to float the note we tote.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain …INDEED!

Clarity? Transparency? Perposterous!!!

So, that is a recap of my last post in a nutshell …any rise interest rates, not withstanding, because that is the central and pivotal …jobs …housing …liquidity …debt load (public debt costs) treasury yields …bond prices and lastly …the Fed’s balance sheet all not withstanding.

God knows we couldn’t have these two items (The end of QE and …the rise of the debt limit) scheduled side by side.

No, we will now …not have these items on the calendar at the same time. God forbid!

Think of it; rising interest rates impact upon the service costs of our public debt. Good Lord! We wouldn’t want to send our foreign creditors the message that we need to borrow more money …just to float the note.

Who Me, Protest?

The following is the result of looking for data to support and build my case in a recent real estate tax protest I have filed.

Before you open the link below, read the following short explanation below first.

The following is a look at one of the 20 Metropolitan components which make up the Case-Shiller SPCS20R Housing Price Index. The SPCS20R is a 20-city composite index comprised of 20 major metropolitan areas in the U.S.
The index reflects upon the overall movement of housing prices across the nation in these twenty areas.
