Who I am

I realize that blogging is a nothing new.  I have a facebook account and yet I don't want to say what I feel there.  There is to many ramblings I go on each day that I want to just vent about.  I don't know but I almost think that my blood pressure is at an unhealthy level.

A little about me.

I have a  wonderful family, Heather, Josiah, Noah, Raven, Rebekah, Caleb, and Kora.  I am a raving capitalist and more conservative than most.  I have a few liberal views of which have to do with living economically.  I listen to Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Dave Ramsey, and a host of other talk show radio programs.  I don't have cable television and I believe that our founding fathers weren't perfect but they had a lot more right than we do now.

Why now.  Why with blogging so big why start now when I have resisted so long?  The simple answer is I want to become President of the United States.  Our current administration, who cares I will say it, Obama as our current Commander in Chief is failing in my opinion.  The ridiculousness of our current government position frustrates me to no end.  From all of the ridiculousness it has spurned my study of economy, and to ask the question "What is the purpose of government?"

I am sure each and every 2 of you that read this would have your own answer.  But for a society of millions of people, "What is the purpose of Government?"  I told a friend at work that I wanted to become president and he said what would be your platform.  Right now my platform would be live within  your means.

Our current spending is out of control.  Not my spending but the governments spending.  Let me list my disgruntlement.

Obama  Not leading

Social Security and the Ponzi scheme it is<-- What I don't understand is that the SEC hasn't condemned the SS Administration as unconstitutional.

Our National Debt <---This link is a treasure trove of research in one shot.

The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  The question I have is how grateful are the people of Iraq for the sacrifice from our country.  I am sure there are a few but we would be hard pressed to see large communities happy with us being in their country.  I am not against the wars.  I don't know what I truly feel about us being in war.  I mean is what we did the RIGHT thing yes.  But at the same time helping my dad with his medical bills is the RIGHT thing to do but I can't afford it.  The same is true for Libya and Iraq, at least in my opinion.


Medicare and Medicaid seriously will I ever get to an age where I can use this.    I generally lump this with Social Security because of the fact that it is a ponzi scheme.  But in general Medicare is solvent until 2029 maybe and Medicaid solvent until 2037 maybe. 

What happened to the trust fund money of the Social Security 'extra'?  Really there is none left.  There is a magic cloud idea that every year the Government has taken in money there has been a surplus of money taken.  And we have bought bonds with that money.  When in reality the Social Security trust fund has given/lent/loaned money to the Government and was subsequently spent.  So in actuality the Government owes Social Security $2.5 Trillion.  That is 2,500 Billions to Social Security.  Sorry I have been paying to Social "security" for years and I don't feel very secure about it.

Alright that is the end of my ramblings for now.  My lovely wife suggested that I save some for later.
