Spending Bill – a $1.1T Challenge for the President

While the Administration is in desperate need of scoring Legislative Victories, it seems that neither Speaker Ryan nor Sen. McConnell are paired to the same sense of purpose. The danger here is that Ryan may, like Boehner before him, be fueling mutiny within the GOP Ranks by surrendering, once again, to the Democrats.

As Sen. Schumer stated in an interview with The Washington Post, “I think we had a strategy and it worked,… Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate were closer to one another than Republicans were to Donald Trump.” If one pauses for a moment and considers his observation we can quickly see the audacious treachery buried just below the surface; we’ve arrived at the lowest possible common-denominator where success is universally repudiated.

The Curse of Global Central Banking

Predictable economic instability is an integral component of the Global Fiat Monetary System; a banking concept that is based on perpetual inflation. It functions, solely, on the understanding the growth is not measured in productive output, but on the capacity of the system to generate inflation. A predatory system deliberately designed to function by creating cyclical failure.

This System creates perpetual hardship by institutionalizing a predatory overtone across the financial and government specter (read the entire article on the TIMF website). Think of it this way: The more your home increases in value the more you can borrow against it and the faster the inflated value occurs the more frequently you can extract value from it. However, there are critical flaws in this system:

Trade Agreements & Political Half-Truths

Did you know that the last time the U.S. had a “Trade Surplus” ($12.4 Billion) was 1975?  By 2015 the Federal Trade Deficit, for just Fiscal Year 2015, was $539.8 Billion. Did you know that since 1992, when the WTO (Trade Treaties) was passed and thru Fiscal Year-End 2015 the Cumulative Trade Deficit was $10.2 Trillion and over the same period Federal Debt increased by $14.1 Trillion?

Silencing the Debt Load of Consumerized-Canabalism

The only thing worse than the mounting Federal Debt (and Unfunded Mandates) is that none of the candidates, save for the occasional comment by Trump, can even begin to grasp the overwhelming problem that it represents or how to approach solving it.

Gone, it would seem, is any semblance of interest in or the crushing effect of this burden – now nearing $179 Trillion- as their silence has only given way to the lunacy of the many programs typified by the offerings of Sanders, Clinton and most of the GOP.

$19 Trillion; No-Limit Spending!

On Friday, January 29th, 2016 the Federal Debt hit slightly above the $19 Trillion mark – $19.012 Trillion to be exact. Interesting to note that the last $1 Trillion increase occurred in a mere 13 months; the previous increase required 14 (months).

Congress, with immense pressure from the White House, has found it fitting to do-away with any financial restraint and it has accomplished this merely by successive suspensions of the Debt Ceiling Limit. This began in February of 2014 with the introduction of the “Temporary Debt Limit Extension Act.” The greater shame in all of this is that no one seems to care that this exhibition is not only a complete abdication of fiscal responsibility but also a brazen taunt that can and most certainly will end in crisis and for those not protected by government influence, it will be apocalyptic.
