Will Republicans Cause Global Economic Collapse this Summer? If the US Government Defaults on the National Debt THAT WILL Cause the End of Civilization. Billions of People Will Starve to Death...

Bubble UP Economics meme by gvan42


The summer of 2011 in Washington, D.C., was scorching hot. Republicans had taken control of the House of Representatives that January and their No. 1 priority was to rein in spending after the federal debt hit a record. They demanded that the Democratic president work with them to stop the federal government’s “money printing.” 
Looks like the summer of 2023 will sizzle with the same kind of heat. House Republicans are again newly in the majority and are determined to reach an agreement with a Democratic president to reduce spending before they vote to raise the federal borrowing limit. Doomsday scenarios abound now as they did then. The predicament, in fact, is very similar, except the record amount of debt is nearly double what it was a dozen years ago, making the situation more dire. Thanks to Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich Law.
What to do? 
In the short-term, defaulting on the national debt would be disastrous. The most-recent debt-ceiling battle led to a downgrade of U.S. government-issued securities. A default would be even worse. As interest rates and the prospect of a recession rise, a missed coupon payment on U.S. Treasury securities would be catastrophic and set the stage for a global attempt to find alternatives to the U.S. dollar as the main form of currency for international trade.
I was inspired by the great peacemakers and leaders to create Six Global Agreements, agreements that help us ground and anchor the WEvolution, our mutual evolution, rooted in heart-centered awareness. The WEvolution calls for us to link hands and hearts with each other to heal ourselves and the world around us.
How can we create a world that reflects compassion and love? How do we bring heaven, that we perceive is somewhere out there, into our own bodies and into this life? How can we collaborate in heart-centered awareness rather than ego centered consciousness? And what can we do right now to collectively create our highest vision and version of heaven on Earth?
I invite you to join me in working with these 6 Global Agreements of the WEvolution, a simple formula, a practice, designed to lead humanity out of our global shadow, by guiding us inward, into our heart, into the sacred WE Space.

The 7 Biggest Failures of Trumponomics. It has exploded the deficit, hurt ordinary Americans, and lined the pockets of the wealthy and corporations. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress keep crowing about the economy, when in reality Trumponomics has been a disaster. Here are its 7 biggest failures: Written by Robert Reich

1. Trump promised to bring down America’s trade deficit “as fast as possible.” Instead, the trade deficit has hit an all-time high. The United States is now purchasing more goods and services from the rest of the world than we sell abroad than at any time in history.

2. As a presidential candidate in 2016, he said he could completely eliminate the federal debt in 8 years. Instead, the federal debt has exploded thanks to Trump and the GOP’s $1.9 trillion tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. They’re already using the growing debt to threaten cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

3. He promised to boost the wages of American workers, including a $4,000 pay raise for the average American family. Instead, wages for most Americans have been flat, adjusted for inflation. Meanwhile, over the same period, corporate profits have soared and the rich have become far richer, but the gains haven’t trickled down.

4. His administration said that corporations would invest their savings from tax cuts. Instead, corporations spent more money buying back shares of their own stock in 2018 than they invested in new equipment or facilities. These stock buybacks provide no real benefit for the economy, but boost executive bonuses and payouts for wealthy investors.

5. He promised a tax cut for middle-class families. Instead most Americans will end up paying more by 2027.

6. He promised to keep jobs in America and crack down on companies that ship jobs overseas. Instead, his tax law has created financial incentives for corporations to expand their operations abroad. Trump’s trade wars have also encouraged companies like Harley Davidson to move production overseas.

7. He promised to “drain the swamp” of Washington lobbyists. Instead, he’s put them in charge of health, safety, and environmental protections–which has endangered most Americans while increasing corporate profits even further.

The real recipe for economic growth is to invest in Americans–in their health, education, job training, and infrastructure.

But Trumponomics has exploded the deficit, hurt ordinary Americans, and lined the pockets of the wealthy and corporations. 

Don’t let Trump and Republicans claim otherwise.

This is what Socialism Looks Like: Trump announced $16 Billion in WELFARE PAYMENTS to Farmers That are Harmed by His Insane Trade War.

When Obama was President, Farmers earned a living by Growing and Selling Crops. 

People ask: Where will all this Money come from? Well, from MORE Deficit Spending! Since Trump's Tax Cut for the Rich Law is Currently Failing to Collect Enough to Pay for the Cost of the US Government, we are Increasing the National Debt in Hopes that YOUR Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren and Great-Great Grandchildren will pay for it all... This Year had the Largest Deficit in History... and Now Trump wants to Make a $16 Billion Welfare Payment to Farmers and a $19 Billion Dollar Payment for Disaster Relief... The Midwest is experiencing Record Tornado Damage and Flooding due to Climate Change... and The West needs help for Wildfires... and and and... This Summer we Expect More of the Same! More Wildfires, More Tornadoes, More Hurricanes and More Floods...

I already own all the Cheap Chinese Junk I will ever Need. I have a Laptop and a TV and I'm going to keep them and use them for another decade. They work fine and there is no need to buy a BRAND NEW SMARTPHONE! because the one I already own is great... So the Chinese plan to stop selling RARE EARTH MINERALS that are required to make Electronic Gizmos... Well, so Freaking What! From now on I'm buying used... Used Clothes totally undermine the Chinese Fabric Industry... I find it INSANE that we Import Cotton Fabric... Why not GROW COTTON IN THE AMERICAN SOUTH? and Weave it in places like Burlington, Vermont... We did that Years ago... Why not Now?

Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg says Trump was a Draft Dodger during the Vietnam War because he Bribed a Doctor to write a FAKE Medical Deferment... Well, That was a Smart Move by Trump. Only an Idiot would Go to Vietnam unless he was Forced to... Everyone who had a Rich Daddy Dodged the Draft. It was a Totally Insane War... History has proved it to be a Horrible Waste of American Lives and Taxpayer Dollars. So Mayor Pete went to Afghanistan... Well, What The FORK did he Accomplish? The only thing we have done in Afghanistan is INCREASE THE OPIUM CROP YIELD... Thanks, Pete...

Greta Thunberg is right ... ...but no one that has been indoctrinated into pursuing the "American Dream" will act, even after listening to her, until that dream is finally exposed and realized as the morally bankrupt farce it is; an earth and soul destroying delusion.

Younger people are learning by seeing how the natural world is being destroyed by the rich and powerful. Yet how empty are their lives. Although they seem to 'have it all' they are never satisfied and care little about hurting others or the natural world in their constant pursuit of even more riches and power.

That's why the young are reaching the point of saying, enough is enough, destroying. And are now attempting to get adults to wake up and do something about it.

Listen to little Greta make more sense than political and religious leaders, combined:

PS: In Greta's defense, for any naysayers concerning her diagnosis of Asperger's syndrome, see others with AS:

Hans Aspergers (February 18, 1906 - October 21, 1980) was an Austrian pediatrician, after whom Asperger syndrome (AS) was named. He wrote over 300 publications, mostly concerning autism in children. --

The Words Above Were Written by a Friend of mine... K Quen


and Greta Says: 
When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning! I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower.

Buying Plastic Crap Does NOT Cause Ecstatic Dancing! It's TRUE! The Corporations That Make Plastic Crap WANT YOU TO BELIEVE That Lie but... I Have Tested this Theory. It Is Possible to Do Ecstatic Dancing in Clothes I Bought at The Thrift Shop. 

I Am Constantly Amazed that There are Businesses Like "The Real Real" That Sell to People Who WISH They Were Rich Trendy New Yorkers. A Friend of Mine was Wearing a Standard Shirt That Had (in GIANT LETTERS) "DKNY" - So I Asked Her What That Meant... She Said "Donna Karen New York" and Since I Had Never Heard that Name I asked Who is That? She Said: "A Famous Designer." It Seems to me that a BETTER Shirt would say "SZCA" Since her name was Sharon Z and She Lived in California... However I Did Not Tell Her That... I'm a Polite Person. I Would Never Satirize a Pathetic Dupe in Person. Unless they are Loudly Proclaiming That Jesus is the Only Way! Then, I am GLAD to Ridicule Those Mindless Vegetables. One Time I was attending a "Teach In" on Campus at College and... After the Event was Over I Asked The Man... "If You Believe That Premarital Sex Is A Sin, Doesn't That Reduce Your Chances of Getting Laid? He Admitted that Was True and Tried to "Spin" His Beliefs to Make Them Seem Wonderful... That Being a Virgin On Your Wedding Night was A Blessing... BOGUS! I Remember that Premarital Sex was a Blessing! and I'm Totally Glad I Did It... and I'm Totally Glad We Went to Planned Parenthood First So She Didn't Have a Baby in High School...  

This Brings Me To The TV SHOW "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Danger-Danger Today They are Questioning IF They Should Buy a Gun For Protection! I Hope Their Followers DO NOT Buy a Gun Because... Having a Gun Makes You LESS SAFE. If You Add Up The Lives Lost to Increases in Successful Suicide, Increases in Gun Accidents and Increases in One Family Member Shooting Another During an Argument... That TOTALLY OUTNUMBERS the Lives Saved Protecting Your Family from "Bad Guys."

I Guess People Watch That Show Because It's Still On after a Couple of Years... I Have Heard That The People in That Show are Famous for Being Famous... I'm More Impressed by PEREZ Hilton... He is Famous for MOCKING Paris Hilton... Good Job PEREZ! Another TV Show That I Never Watch is "Jersey Shore." It's About Young People Arguing With Each Other While On Vacation... Why Would Anyone Watch THAT?  And Yet, I Know A Person That Says She Likes "Reality" Shows... and I Could Hear Arguing Coming Out of Her Phone. By The Way, A Kardashian Was Displaying Her Expensive Jewelry On TV ad Then She Got Robbed... Cause and Effect?

I Like Comedy Shows. Samantha Bee, Steven Colbert Monologues and John Oliver Make Me Laugh at Bizarro World Republicans. I Wonder IF There are Comedy Shows That MOCK Liberals? I Don't Think So... I Have on Occasion Watched FOX News and Those People Seem Angry All The Time... I Can Understand Why... Since Their Ideas Have Been Proven Wrong and Yet They Are Hired to Repeat Those Lies By Corporate Sponsors. It Must Be Unpleasant Work to Know That What You Say is False... and Yet, Day After Day Your Job is to Spread Insane Corporate Propaganda... That Must Cause Stress! 

I Wish We Had Studied More Practical Subjects in High School. For Example: Plumbing. While I Have Never Used My Ability to Diagram a Sentence EVER, I Have Needed to Fix a Dripping Faucet.

Clogged Drains in the Kitchen Sink are a Significant Part of Real Life while Calculus is Useless. Classes in How to Balance a Checkbook, Avoiding Credit Card Debt and Filing Income Taxes Would Have Been Valuable.  

One Class they ought to add is Critical Thinking. In a World where there are SO Many People Lying it has been Handy to Know That Logical Fallacies Exist. I Took that Class in College and It Helped Me To WAKE UP! I Realized That It Was a Good Idea to "Think for Myself and Question Authority." For Example: 400,000 People Died from Opioid Overdoses in the USA. But First, They Had to Believe Their Doctor and Buy That Prescription... Remember: Believing Lies Is Not the Best Plan for Life... 

Another Example: "They" Don't Tell You that Owning a Gun Makes Your Family LESS SAFE.  The Increase in Successful Suicides, The Increase in Accidents and The Increase of One Family Member Shooting Another During Arguments TOTALLY OUTNUMBER the Number of Times You Defend Your Family From "Bad Guys." They Lie to You In Order To Increase Profits... WAKE UP! 

A More Subtle Example: TV Advertisements for Prescription Drugs (and Booze, Cars and Trucks) often show Beautiful Young People Doing Ecstatic Dancing! The Hidden Meaning Is That If You Take Their Drug You Will Feel Like Those People in the Ads. Rock Stars, Hang Gliders, Surfers, People Whose Children Just Graduated for College, People Who Won the Stuffed Bear at the Carnival, Mountain Climbers... I Always Turn off the Sound During Commercials and Often it is Impossible to Tell What Disease that Specific Drug is Used to Cure... All I Know is that by Taking The Drug, The Pretty Lead Singer in the Band was able to Cure Her Nausea and Sing and Their Concert was Wonderful... and Everybody Was Dancing WITHOUT DANDRUFF... There is One Ad That Shows BLISSED OUT PEOPLE Releasing Thousands of Fire Filled Paper Bags that Float into the Night Sky... I HAVE Felt Like Those People... ON LSD... However... "One Pill Makes You Larger, and One Pill Makes You Small, and the Ones That Mother Gives You, Don't Do Anything At All... Go Ask Alice... When She's Ten Foot Tall..." - Grace Slick

I Question IF Wayfair Delivers Happiness. Is Consumption of Plastic Crap The Key To True Enlightenment? Did Buddha Use His Credit Card to Order a Load of More, More, More STUFF? Remember: There are Two Ways to Get Everything You Want. Get More or Want Less.   

One Class I Wish I Had Taken in College was How to Use Microsoft Word and Excel. The Teacher said We Could Simpy Take the Final Exam and Challenge the Class and I Did That. If You Passed the Final, You Didn't Have to Attend The Class. Well, I Wish I Had Learned A LOT MORE about those Programs Because... At Work... They were the Most Often Used Programs... and Some Stuff Would Have been Super Handy To Know... Later, I DID Take a Class in Excel Paid for by My Employer... Because we really used that a LOT. We Created Contracts For The Clients to Sign and All the Contracts Had To Be Identical, But With Different Names, Addresses, Dates ETC. One Day, My Boss Told Me that She Had Esased the Word Document She was Working On... Well, It Is Possible to Find an Old Copy, But I Didn't Know How... I Had Never Accidentally Erased My Work so I Just Didn't Know... That Would Have Been an Opportunity To Be The Hero but...   

A great TV Show is "The UnXplained" with William Shatner. Have any of You Done FIREWALKING? I don't understand how it's possible to walk on fire without doing damage to the feet. I Can Understand Not Feeling Pain in a Trance State but... The Lack of Damage is Unexplainable. My Store Manager at Radio Shack Did Firewalking. They all Chanted and Danced into a Trance and then He Did It. It was a Training Exercise for Store Managers Paid for by the Corporation Because... they felt that "If You Can Walk On Fire, You Can Certainly Run a Store." It Was A Confidence Building Exercise. 

In My Experience Prayer and Meditation has been a Total Failure. Nothing Happens at All. I Have Explored Dancing Myself into a Trance at a Carlos Santana Concert and THAT was FUN... But That was All..  One time We Went to a Five Day American Indian Christian Ceremony. Two Hundred Frame Drums and Six Father Drums. I Was Allowed to Play the Father Drum... That TOO Was Fun But In No Way Did I Contact God. Many of the Other People at That Ceremony Were "Slain By The Spirit" and they Fell Down when the Preacherman Touched their Head... but I Felt Nothing... Of Course, I Have Taken LSD at a Grateful Dead Concert and THAT is AMAZING... and All Other Religious Ceremonies Seem LAME After That Experience... It Really Makes Communion at a Christian Church Seem To Be A PATHETIC JOKE... You Eat The Sacred Wafer and NOTHING HAPPENS... Well, Eat a Sacred Wafer at a Grateful Dead Concert and SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN.  Have You Ever Read HAIKU On Acid? You Experience a Tidal Wave of Realization... Meaning... OH! I GET IT! EUREKA! FUN!

Sadly, I Have Never Experienced Anything Unexplainable. No UFO Encounters, NO Near Death Experiences, No Out of Body Experiences, NO Successful Prayer... Nothing... Yes, I ate Psychedelic Drugs and Saw Visions but That is a Real Cause and Effect Event. Not a Contact with God or Extraterrestrials... Even William Wilson, the Founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Never Had a Contact With a "Higher Power" without Taking Psychedelic Drugs. He Had a "Religious Experience" While on Belladona and Henbane... now, That's some Powerful Dope! Only to be Used under Doctor's Supervision...  

The Only Thing That That I Have Experienced That is Remotely Magical is the Time Effect of Programming a Computer. I Have Been "In The Zone" While Writing Code or Doing Complex Mathematical Computer Art. At School, We All Found that Time Travels Very Fast. You Start Programming and then an Instant Later, The Clock Shows That Hours Have Passed. I Have Also Experienced an Interesting MOOD After Watching the TV Show "Ancient Aliens" for Many Hours... Makes Me Wonder... 

YES, I Have Experienced an Altered State of Consciousness Because of Sex. An Afterglow Does Happen... That Can be Explained by Darwin's Evolution Theory but... I Prefer to Not Explain it at all, Just Enjoy... Relax and Bliss OUT!

I Remember that one Day in the Computer Lab at School I Was Complaining about How Useless Calculus was and a Student said: "Calculus is Essential to the Design of Atomic Power Plants and Bombs. Without Calculus You Just Can't Do IT!" - SO, Not only is Calculus Useful, IT'S EVIL!

  • Ron Kikuchi I took Boys Foods
  • Kat Kelley you 're a genius!
  • Lynn Sanders I guess you weren't in my civics class 1972 where we filled out a federal tax return. Mr. McCloskey

  • Gregory Laan Remember: Believing Lies Is Not the Best Plan for Life...
  • Tødd Frederick I remember only one time that I had a unit on diagramming sentences and that was in junior high and I was no good at it. But that's not to say that it has no value. Each student responds to different inputs to start thinking critically. Diagramming sentences does have a certain science to it, and it could help some students to become adept at solving problems. But on much more practical terms, communicating in clear English is the foundation of getting ahead in life. Many people of our era can't spell or form a decent sentence or paragraph. So while diagramming a sentence may not be required, all the rest really matters.

    I have two degrees. The first was a BA in business. The second was a blue collar associate degree, which puts an amazing amount of food on my table. The neat thing is that I am one of the few in my field who can write a decent sentence. 

    A plumber and a woodworker need a firm foundation in mathematics. Both need some business acumen. Some of the best things you need in life to get ahead can't be taught in school, you just pick them up during life, like street smarts.
  • Stephanie Lynott That would be called vocational school, of which there are a few. It is a perfect fit for so many students.
  • Renee DeLay-Harsanyi My brother took wood shop and after he retired from the Marine Corps started his own carpentry and handy man business and did very well. There was also metal shop and auto shop. But you do have to learn geometry to do these.
  • Tobar Bernadette If you would of taking Ag mechanics you would of learned plumbing and other house hold things.
  • Tommy Gleason Absolutely agree with the critical thinking. If only kids could learn this early on, then they wouldn't get duped by the politics, religion, and conspiracy theories.
  • Donovan Rhinehart Four years in Mr. Cassel's Industrial Arts class (Metal Shop) got me further in life than any other class I had in high school. When signing up for classes my freshmen year, the school suggested I take something more academic. Fortunately, I did not. In addition to most aspects of metal fabrication, Mr. Cassel taught his students respect, responsibility, confidence, how to shake hands etc... Mr. Cassel made a huge impact on a lot of kids.

  • Gregory Laan SO, They DID Teach Practical Skills at LGHS... in the AG Department... I Just Missed Valuable Learning by Choosing the Wrong Classes. OOPS!
