Obama: ‘I Want To Put The Fear Of God In All Of You’ « CBS DC:
"President Barack Obama cast Republican Ken Cuccinelli on Sunday as part of an extreme Tea Party faction that shut down the government, throwing the political weight of the White House behind Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the final days of a bitter race for governor.
“Nothing makes me more nervous than when my supporters start feeling too confident,”
Obama said during the rally. “So I want to put the fear of God in all of you.”"

MSM sorta missing a big story......Oh, Barry's MSM propaganda ministers at "work" again. -NYC Subways overrun with homeless as panhandling busts down
Beg Apple: Subways overrun with homeless | New York Post:
"It’s an express train — to the bad old days.
Cops are giving homeless people and panhandlers in the subways the kid-glove treatment, arresting subterranean scofflaws far less frequently than just two years ago, data show.
The ranks of the homeless, meanwhile, have swelled to 1,841 this year — a 13 percent increase over last year’s tally, the city’s Department of Homeless Services says.
For straphangers, it has created an atmosphere of fear.
“I feel threatened, especially taking the train at night,” explained Brooklynite Lortashia Smith, who said she has been followed off trains several times.
“The police can definitely do more.”"

What is it about the super-wealthy that makes them want to stop others from achieving their best?-------Wealthy didn't 'build that,' they 'rode it,' says Gross
Wealthy didn't 'build that,' they 'rode it,' says Gross:
"Many counter that the top 1 percent already pay more than 36 percent of the federal taxes and 40 percent of the income taxes in high-tax states like New York and California.
Others point out that Gross focuses on people who made their fortunes from finance—those who "borrowed money or charged fees on expanding financial assets."
He ignores the vast number of millionaires and billionaires who made their fortunes by starting companies—whether it's a trucking company or tech company, or maker of electric cars or Spanx.
Should those people also feel guilty?
And with so many Americans not paying any federal income taxes, many argue that the wealthy already carry enough of the burden."

"I have written extensively about the data behind the headline media reports. I have also discussed the importance of the relationship between the underlying data trends relative to broader macroeconomic perspectives. However, it is sometimes helpful just to view the various economic indicators and draw your own conclusions outside of someone else's opinion.
With the economy now more than 4 years into an expansion, which is long by historical standards, the question for you to answer by looking at the charts below is:
"Are we closer to an economic recession or a continued expansion?"
How you answer that question should have a significant impact on your investment outlook as financial markets tend to lose roughly 30% on average during recessionary periods. However, with margin debt at record levels, earnings deteriorating and junk bond yields near all-time lows, this is hardly a normal market environment within which we are currently invested.
Therefore, I present a series of charts which view the overall economy from the same perspective utilizing an annualized rate of change. "

-Exhibit A is the U.S. ethanol mandate—justified in part as a response to global warming—which diverted the corn crop to fuel production and sent global food prices soaring in 2008.
-Exhibit B is the cult of organic farming and knee-jerk opposition to GMOs, which risk depriving farmers in poor countries of high-yield, nutrient-rich crops.
-Exhibit C was the effort to ban DDT without adequate substitutes to stop the spread of malaria, which kills nearly 900,000 people, mostly children, in sub-Saharan Africa alone with each passing year. The list goes on and on.

"The debt of the federal government, which is normally subject to a legal limit, jumped by $409 billion in the month of October, according to the U.S. Treasury.
That equals approximately $3,567 for each household in the United States, and is the second-largest one month jump in the debt in the history of the country.
...The single greatest one-month increase in the federal government's debt came in October 2008, when Congress enacted the Troubled Asset Relief Program to bail out the financial industry.
In that month, the debt subject to the legal limit climbed by about $545 billion."

"Fiasco"? It is an out and out THEFT!!!!! --------The Great Pension-Bonus Giveaway Fiasco
The Great Pension-Bonus Giveaway Fiasco - Bloomberg:
"I’ve been shocked to find out how common “extra payments” or “13th checks” have become among public pension funds. Basically, when returns were higher than the projected average return (generally around 8 percent), they funneled off the extra into a bonus check.
This is … well, gee, profanity is too weak.
It is an insane mangling of the concept of an “average return.”
As should be obvious to anyone who sat through high school math, that average is composed of some years when the return will be higher than the average, and some years when it will be lower.
You can’t siphon off the “excess” returns from the up years unless you also put in extra cash during years when the market underperforms.
It goes without saying that they did not top up during the bad years.
The result is the current mess in Detroit, and elsewhere."

States prepare to crack down on Obamacare ‘navigators’
More than 120 federal grants have been handed out in nearly three dozen states for various “community” organizations to be paid to recruit Obamacare participants.
The grants amount to hundreds of millions of dollars.
The list of grant recipients, according to one organization monitoring the activity, “is a veritable ‘who’s who’ of the left-wing political machine.”
It includes groups with ACORN-ties such as the Southern United Neighborhoods and the Structured Employment Economic Development Corp, or SEEDC.
SEEDC, according to the Goldwater Institute, “recently settled a $1.725 million lawsuit for fraud committed under another government program.”
“The American people have a right to be concerned about the agendas and integrity of these groups,” said Arizona state Rep. Paul Boyer of Phoenix, who is working on the issue.
“Once again we are seeing the federal government play favorites with public funds, and in this case under the guise of helping people smoothly transition to a marketplace that was supposed to simplify the process to begin with.”

Chicago Mayor Wants Nation’s Highest Cigarette Tax; Retailers Push Back | Heartlander Magazine:
"Emanuel’s proposal to increase the city’s tax 75 cents per pack, raising the city’s portion of the cigarette tax to $1.43 per pack.

Do we want to increase the use of drugs in the USA? Will legalizing marijuana reduce drug use in the USA? Top 10 Facts About The U.S. Illegal Drug Market
Top 10 Facts About The U.S. Illegal Drug Market | Zero Hedge
formal and informal data paints a slightly less-fuzzy and, to some degree, larger picture of the market. Here’s the top 10 that we found, in no particular order:
1. Say what you want about the 1960s and 1970s, but the current decade has logged the heaviest drug use per person per year in the history of the United States. 23.9 million Americans aged 12 or older – 9.2% of the entire population – were “current users” (i.e. had used in the past month) of an illicit drug in 2012, the latest data available from the CDC shows. That’s up from 7.1% in 2001, and more than double the rate of 1969’s 4% (according to a 1969 Gallup poll). But the “peace and love” decades aren’t totally free of blame. The youngsters that seemed to have pioneered increasing drug usage in the 60s and 70s are apparently still at it today: 7.2% of those aged 50-54 reported illicit drug use within the past month, compared to 6.6% of those 55-59 and 3.6% of those 60-64. Each of these figures is more than double the respective rates recorded in 2002. Use of illicit drugs among those 12-17, meanwhile, is dropping, while usage in the “young adult” community of 18-25 has been rather stable at around 21.3%.2. The most “Typical” drug user is apparently an 18-25 year old male living in the urban South, based on data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The South is the biggest drug consuming region in the country by sheer numbers with 7.5 million current users, according to the National Sur
Gov Targets Ammo Supply Lines: Prices to Rise Sharply As America’s Last Lead Supplier Calls It Quits
Gov Targets Ammo Supply Lines: Prices to Rise Sharply As America’s Last Lead Supplier Calls It Quits | The Daily Sheeple:
"Now, the only ore-to-lead producer in America… the largest in the Western world… has been shut down by EPA regulation.
EPA’s regulatory uncertainty and an estimated $100 million to convert [to non-smelter manufacturing] caused the company to finally throw in the towel.
It’s not just ammunition that’s dissapearing.
American industry… American jobs…. are being regulated out of existence as well.
Lead’s still going to be manufactured in China, but it’ll be done without any environmental oversight, it’ll be scarce, it’ll be expensive, and we’ll have fragile supply lines.
It’s part of a multi-pronged attack on ammunition.
-Drying up the market by hoarding billions of rounds
-Shutting down the market with background checks, registration, and banning of online sales
-Environmental regulation to ban the use and manufacture of lead
-And after we can no longer manufacture ammunition domestically we have the UN Arms Trade Treaty to stop the importation of ammunition."

Meet the American Nomads of Walmart's Plentiful Parking Lots
Meet the American Nomads of Walmart's Plentiful Parking Lots | Raw File | Wired.com:
"If you’ve ever tried to sleep in your car on a long trip without planning ahead, you may have run into the law at some point.
Each U.S. city has a different policy and tolerance for car-sleeping and it’s hard to find a legit spot if you don’t know where exactly you’ll be stopping.
What you can count on is one of Walmart’s over 3,000 stores being nearby.
The company’s policy of allowing overnight stays in their parking lots is intended to boost sales, but has the tangential effect of creating a subculture around its locations (though they’re still at the mercy of local laws)."

You gotta problem wit dat? --------------The 10 Commandments of Government
Doug Ross @ Journal: The 10 Commandments of Government:
I Generally speaking, government always grows -- it never shrinks -- whether times are good or bad.
II In each area it purports to "assist", government attempts to replace individual decision-making with central planning.
III In order to implement its grand central plans and solidify its power, government must take from one citizen to give to another; this is, in effect, lawful theft.
IV No matter how many times central planning fails, the self-appointed masterminds in government assert that "this time is different" and that with only a few tweaks and more money, their delusional plans will succeed.
V Because it uses funds confiscated from taxpayers, self-restraint is no obstacle to government's ambitions.
VI Its fundamental misunderstanding of human nature notwithstanding, government must claim to grant "rights", which require it steal the labors of one citizen to give to another (such as food, shelter, employment, and health care).
VII No matter how widespread the harm it causes, government will never provide an honest and historical accounting -- a report card -- of its failures.
VIII As more individuals and families are harmed by the failures of central planning, government must find suitable scapegoats, must lie to do so, and therefore must also repress dissent.
IX In order to build its network of redistribution and grow a culture of dependency on its services, government must inevitably undermine the family unit, religion, and the notion of God-given rights in order to cow, bribe, or intimidate its citizens.
X As government grows ever more powerful, it must also become increasingly oppressive through compulsion and force. To do otherwise would mean government must shrink, and this it cannot do.
Any of these characteristics recognizable?

Cow Flatulence, Big Balls and Oreos – Those and Other Lame College Studies:
"Take the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which awarded the University of Wisconsin and Oklahoma University a whopping $19.5 million in early June to find streamlined ways to reduce the carbon footprint from beef and dairy production.
While cow flatulence – or methane gas from livestock – has long been accused as partly causing global warming, more recent studies have found bovine bowel movements and the like do not harm the environment.
The cow study is also based on the notion global warming is settled science.
The reality is its one of the most disputed topics in the nation, but bureaucrats don’t bat an eyelash on spending $19.5 million in taxpayer dollars on solving for an imaginary problem."
