Vision of what is to come?
V for Vendetta when it came out was a far cry from what most people would even dream possible of becoming reality.
With a nation in a black hole of un-payable and debt and corruption the vision of this film seems to becoming a reality every day… What are your thoughts?
Where do you think America and the world will be in 10, 20, 30 years?
Foreclosures remain on the rise. Layoffs are continuing to occur nationwide. The Feds WILL raise the interest rate shortly. Pelosi and Congress will increase the Fed Withholding UP to 45%. Home values continue to drop. 75% of the Stimilus has NOT been released. FHA, Sallie Mae and Freddie Mac will very soon be asking for BILLIONS of dollars to offset their continuing decline. The Stock Market is a "giant" balloon waiting for the next "crisis" to drop off into it’s lowest numbers in decades. Obama has "disrespected" EVERY major ally we have in the world, EMBRACED the Islamic faith just enough to insure that future terrorists will be granted U.S. RIGHTS to a lengthy trial, with appeals and platform to spew their hatred of America.
Obama signed a "secret" Executive Order granting "rights and immunities" to INTERPOL, who will operate out of the U.S. Obama and Congress have executed the greatest deception and fraud on the country, with their "secret, private" behind closed doors "briberies and deals" to FORCE through a Healthcare that 63% of VOTERS, do NOT want.
And last, but not least…………..Our POTUS declared that the U.S. Constitution is nothing more than a document, "filled with NEGATIVE liberties…………. NEGATIVE !
Thank you Massachusetts, for displaying the kind of spirit of America that we older generation grew up in.

The job loss rate is now LESS THAN 2% of what it was when Bush left office. The stock market has now regained nearly 60% of its value back. Housing has stabilized everywhere and has recovered in a number of places. And gross domestic product and the worth of the average American were both up last quarter (3.5% and 1% respectively) and are only doing better this quarter.
And what is even more amazing, Obama did this while drastically CUTTING the deficit. Upcoming will be proof of that. First up are Republican numbers (which focus on deficits), then the Democrat numbers (which focus on budgets); but both are covered. And no matter which number set you choose, they BOTH find Obama cutting spending by hundreds of billions of dollars. And if you have a problem with this, just remember that the Republican numbers come from Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity. I just did the math for you. If you have a problem with it, tell those three to quit lying so much. If you trust them, then trust their numbers, and by extension trust what those numbers say–Obama CUT spending. Here’s the proof. Enjoy!

REPUBLICAN NUMBERS:
According to Republicans, Bush’s deficit last year was $400 billion, and Obama’s this year was $1.42 trillion. However, what one must remember is that the government’s fiscal year ends on Sept. 30th, and the new one begins Oct. 1st. Well, in mid-September of last year, Bush attempted to get a $700 billion bailout passed. He failed. It was defeated by House Republicans. So Bush added $150 billion in REPUBLICAN PORK to attract those votes. That works, and the Republicans cave and pass the now $850 billion bailout. But they did it in October; AFTER the new fiscal year, Obama’s fiscal year, had already begun. In other words, Bush’s bailout is counting against Obama. So now we must take Bush’s bailout away from Obama, and add it back to Bush.
–All numbers in trillions–
$0.4 (Bush’s initial deficit) + $0.85 (Bush’s bailout) = $1.25 trillion (Bush’s ACTUAL deficit).
$1.42 (Obama’s initial deficit) - $0.85 (Bush’s bailout) = $570 billion (Obama’s actual deficit).
$1.25 (Bush’s deficit) - $0.57 (Obama’s deficit) =
—$680 billion (Obama’s savings from Bush’s spending)—

DEMOCRAT NUMBERS
According to Democrats, Obama’s budget for this past year was $3.4 trillion. For 2008, Bush’s budget was $3.1 trillion. However, this leaves out some info.
First up, deficits. Each President has to deal with the budget deficit/surplus from the year before. Well in 2007, Bush left himself a $500 billion deficit to deal with. Certainly large, but not even half as large as the budget shortfall he left Obama–$1.4 trillion. That is a $900 billion advantage Republicans give to Bush by ignoring previous year’s deficits.
In addition, Bush left out the costs of both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars in all his budgets. The estimated cost of Iraq was $3 trillion; Afghanistan was $1 trillion. But we are only working with one year budgets, so we only need one year totals. Iraq was estimated last year to cost $10 billion a month–$120 billion last year. Afghanistan was $2 billion a month–$24 billion last year. We add the yearly totals to find what needs to be added to Bush for the costs of the wars for 2008–$144 billion.
We add Bush’s bailout back to him for the same reason we had to do so in the Republican numbers–$850 billion.
We subtract Bush’s bailout from Obama for the same reason we had to do so in the Republican numbers. But we must also add the costs of the stimulus ($787 billion) and the omnibus ($410 billion), since they are not included in Obama’s budget.
–all numbers in trillions–
3.1 (Bush’s budget) + $0.9 (Bush’s deficit advantage) + $0.144 (Bush’s war costs) + $0.85 (Bush’s bailout) = $4.994 trillion (Bush’s actual spending for 2008).
3.4 (Obama’s budget) - $0.85 (Bush’s bailout) + $0.787 (stimulus) + $0.41 (omnibus) = $3.747 trillion (Obama’s actual spending for 2009).
$4.994 (Bush’s spending) - $3.747 (Obama’s spending) = $1.247 trillion (Obama’s savings from Bush’s spending).
But while this number does take into account Bush’s deficit, it does not take into account Obama’s ACTUAL deficit of $570 billion (as found in Republican numbers). So we must now take that deficit away from Obama’s savings.
$1.247 (Obama’s savings) - $0.57 (Obama’s deficit) =
—$677 billion (Obama’s ACTUAL savings on Bush’s deficit)—
___________________________
So with Republican numbers, we find Obama saving $680 billion; with Democrats numbers it’s $677 billion. A difference of only $3 billion, which can be accounted for by the fact that our numbers are estimates in the trillions of dollars. Which means that our number estimates were within a 0.001% margin of error.

WITHIN 10 YEARS YOU WILL SEE HYPERINFLATION
WITHIN 20 YEARS HYPERINFLATION WILL BE ABOUT 10,000 PERCENT
BY 30 YEARS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE COLLAPSED
WITH THE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WE HAVE THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THIS

I spent decades worrying about the huge Federal debt and about the likelihood of another Great Depression. I’ve expected that since I was eleven years old, lol.
And a year or two ago, I was totally convinced it was about to happen.
But it seems as though we dodged the bullet.
Remember, so much of our economic and political system depends on optimism, confidence and trust.
I mean, only ten years ago there was a *surplus* of a trillion dollars in the Federal budget! With a prospering economy, it is possible for the picture to turn around fairly quickly, I mean, within a generation.
I really don’t think it is healthy or helpful to live in dread of a catastrophe that may never come.
I lived in an expectation of doom for too long, and it did not help me. I’m not going there any more.
What I do hope and pray for is a positive future. It will take work and sensible planning and cooperation (rare these days, I realize), but good things *can* and *do* happen all the time.
