Well, it would seem the pResident has figured out a way to reduce the debt. Obama(THHO) has decided (notice he always ‘decides’ to do something, instead of ‘introducing legislation’ or asking for input?) that in order to “tame the nation’s rocketing federal debt” he will order a new set of taxes on millionaires and above. His plan does not specify if he means someone with a net worth of one million or more, or someone who earns one million or more, so those of you who have been scrimping and saving in order to have a comfortable retirement? Sorry. The country government needs you(r cash).

AttackWatch is gonna have me on their list yet.

Hey, Obama(THHO)! I know someone who could probably help with you financial issues – but he’s on a book signing tour right now. Maybe when he swings through your area he could give you a couple of tips? I’m thinking the first tip he would give you is “Quit Spending Money You Don’t Have.” Tip number two would be along the lines of “Cut Your Expenses (Stop Spending Money You Don’t Need To)”. The guy’s name is Dave Ramsey and his track record has spoken for itself over the years.

You’ve heard the budget screaming matches – er, talks – and heard “billion” tossed around like everyone deals with that amount on a daily basis. Texas Fred, a crusty old Marine friend of mine, sent out a little missive to help us common folk, those of us not smart enuff to deal with money and what not, since we ain’t pro-fessional poly-ticks or nuttin’, git a handle on jist how much a biilyon rilly is:

A. A billion seconds ago it was 1979.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it.

Now, in my mind, it seems like the obvious solution to not raising the debt ceiling is to quit spending money. I mean, those of us in fly-over land only have so many dollars per year to spend, and when we spend them all, we are finished. We have the common sense to stop spending. Heck, most of us quit spending before we run out of money, in case the starter goes out on the car. But not those professional politicians – no siree Bob, they spend more and more money with less and less in the pot because they are “smarter” than we are.

Remember this in November – they have no concept of what a budget is, so don’t let them control it anymore.
