    #France1789 What is the Cure for Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome? #BubbleUP Economics.

     

    Fight for the Cure! Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome is an Epidemic! gvan42
    Fight for the Cure!
    Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome
    is an Epidemic!


    The Trouble here in the USA is that the Super Rich have Purchased the US Congress and Every State's "Elected" Officials as well... All of those Puppets Keep on Passing Laws that Remove Money from The So-Called "Middle Class" and Redistribute our Tax Money to the Super Rich... Using Subsidies for Oil and Gas... and Pentagon Spending on Pointless Wars... Endless Purchasing of Lockheed Airplanes and Missiles... General Atomic Drones... and Trump's Tax Cuts for the Rich Law... 

    Everybody Knows This but... Rarely are there any SOLUTIONS Posted online or on TV... Plenty of "Guillotine" Jokes... but I believe that a Lot of that CrazyTalk® is FBI Agents Searching for Right Wing Nuts to Arrest... Online Entrapment...  CoIntelPro2021  - anyway... I Don't Know Where Anyone from the 1% Lives... and They Probably have Private Armies Protecting them From assassination - SO... I do not Plan on Taking any Action Like That! I'm Happy as Long as I Keep On Winning Money on the Stock Market... 


    The News Media Predicts Global Economic Collapse to Happen October 18th 2021... and It's all #MoscowMitch McConnell's Fault...

    I Have Noticed that IN GENERAL, People Who Have Had The Psychedelic Experience are NICE People... and HAPPY, HEALTHY PEOPLE... 

    What IF We Had People Who "Turn On" The Ruling Class... Currently We Have Doctors Doing Research into the Medicinal Value of LSD, Magic Mushrooms, Peyote, DMT and MDMA... 

    Does That Mean that we will soon Have SUPER PURE LSD Available to the General Public? Quality We Have Not Seen Since the Early 1960s when SANDOZ Laboratories made LSD-25? 

    Psychedelic RE-Grooving Could be a way to Teach the Ruling Class That There ARE ALTERNATIVE HOBBIES to Getting More, More, More Money! For Example: Dance, Paint a Picture, Play a Musical Instrument, Go Surfing, Swim, Write Poetry, Go Backpacking, Grow Organic Vegetables, Look Deep Inside and Contemplate the Meaning of Life... The Possibilities are ENDLESS!

    Facebook Artificial Intelligence Programs Censors What You Say... They have automatically read every word and reject certain posts... A Post of mine that included the Word "Towelhead" was Rejected and I was Banned for Three Days... They said That word was "Hate Speech." 

    In Fact... There are People That Wear a Towel on Their Head!

    Funny Hats!

    Check Out the Dude in the Lower Right Hand Corner... Obviously He Just went to an Italian Restaurant and Decided to wear the Tablecloth Home!

    I think it's amazingly co-incidental that Facebook is "down" Today... 10/4/2021... They are Entirely Out of Business! At the Same Time, Facebook "Whistleblower" is Being Grilled at a US Congressional Hearing... 

    Headline: Facebook whistleblower revealed on '60 Minutes,' says the company prioritized profit over public good... https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/03/tech/facebook-whistleblower-60-minutes/index.html

    Headline: Facebook shares drop nearly 5% after major site outage and whistleblower interview... https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/04/facebook-shares-drop-5percent-after-site-outage-and-whistleblower-interview.html

    Facebook Came Back after a Few Hours... NOPE, It wasn't the End of the World...

    Bill Clinton Explains Bubble Up Economics meme


    TAX the RICH - Cut Taxes on the Rest of Us... It's Called Bubble Up Economics. Raise the Minimum Wage to $15.00 and Increase All Social Security Payments 15%... We Promise to Spend the Extra Money at American Businesses... Increasing Profits! Everybody Wins!

    TAX the RICH & Cut Taxes on the 99%

     

    Did you notice that The Democrats supposedly have control of the US Senate and The US House and The Presidency but... 
    The Paid Puppets of the Super Rich STILL ACTUALLY RUN THINGS? This "Clown" Manchin from West-Freaking-Virginia is Running the Country... He's an OBVIOUS Employee of OIL, Gas and COAL... and Yet... Somehow... In Order to Get anything actually done we need 60 votes in the US Senate... Allowing #MoscowMitch to Veto Everything and Then say... "See? If You Elect Democrats, Nothing Gets Done." 
    Moscow Mitch is a QuackAnon FREAK

    and Explain The Other Attention Addicts... That are Supposedly our Representatives...  "Look at ME! Look at ME! Look at ME!" Shouts Marjorie Taylor Greene New Deal...

    and NOW... It appears that in order to cause Biden to Fail... The Republicans will let the USA Default on our National Debt... Causing a Global Economic Collapse... I Guess the Plan is to End Democracy in the USA and Crown Trump CZAR... 
    Allison in Penn and Teller's Magic Mirror
    Sure... Billions of People will Starve to Death but... The Super Rich will Continue Their Rule over the RUINS of the USA... and all the while shouting MAGA... or Having Their Brainwashed Minions do the Shouting... 

    Bubble Up Economics Meme - golf course bubbles
    The Basics of Bubble UP Economics: With a $15.00 an Hour Minimum Wage and a 15% increase in Social Security people will have money to spend on things that they cannot afford to buy now. The Money will BUBBLE UP Through Out the Entire Economy. Corporations will get more sales... More Profits... and they will have to HIRE more employees to handle the increased business. More Stock Clerks, More Cashiers, More Truck Drivers... and those people will spend their paychecks at American Businesses... all boats rise on a tide... Employers Win, Employees Win, Stockholders Win... 

    Bubble Up Economics Meme

    So, what can one person DO to get this Economic Plan Enacted? 
    Well, Like and Share this Post... Copy and Paste the images and Ideas... Write your own Blog... Rant on Facebook and Twitter... 

    What we need to do is spread valid ideas in order to counteract the propaganda spewed by Corporate "Think Tanks" like The Cato Institute or The Heritage Foundation... They will make up any story to enrich the Upper Class. 

    They work on the Backwards-World Scientific Principle... Write conclusions first then find "Facts" to support what they want to sell.

    Real Science collects Facts first, then looks at them to find conclusion. The exact opposite to Cato & Heritage...

    BUY NO CHINESE JUNK for CHRISTMAS... Inflation Got You Down? Simply STOP Consuming... Buying Low Price Bad Quality Merchandise DOES NOT CAUSE HAPPINESS! Just Frustration When It Breaks Down...

    My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

    I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

    I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

    During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


    During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
