“Emergency Control” of the Internet…RED ALERT!!!

Antifascist Calling

You have to hand it to congressional Democrats. Mendacious grifters whose national security agenda is virtually indistinguishable from Bushist Republicans, when it comes to rearranging proverbial deck chairs on the Titanic, the party of “change” is second to none in the “all terrorism all the time” department.

While promising to restore the “rule of law,” “protect civil liberties” while “keeping America safe,” in practice, congressional Democrats like well-coiffed Republican clones across the aisle, are crafting legislation that would do Dick Cheney proud!

As the Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (S.773) wends its way through Congress, civil liberties’ advocates are decrying provisions that would hand the President unlimited power to disconnect private-sector computers from the internet.

CNET reported August 28, that the latest iteration of the bill “would allow the president to ‘declare a cybersecurity emergency’ relating to ‘non-governmental’ computer networks and do what’s necessary to respond to the threat.”

The Death of Social Security.

By Vincent Gioia

Many seniors rely on social security to support themselves, in whole or in part. When social security was enacted into law during the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a number of promises were made.

For example Democrat FDR promised:

1.) That participation in the Social Security Program would be completely voluntary,

2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program,

3.) That the money the participants elected to put Into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,

4.) that the money the participants put into the Independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would Only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and

5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Social Security as promised by President Roosevelt does not exist and you may be interested in knowing why.

Privacy – With Health Care, Not A Priority

By Bruce McQuain

The left certainly likes to give the right of privacy at least lip service as they tell you what you should be concerned with concerning government. But when it concerns something they want, privacy isn’t such an important right.

HR 3200, the infamous house health care insurance bill apparently proves that point quite handily. Nestled within its 1,000 plus pages is a provision, on top of all the other provisions noted previously, that should give real privacy rights advocates pause:

Section 431(a) of the bill says that the IRS must divulge taxpayer identity information, including the filing status, the modified adjusted gross income, the number of dependents, and “other information as is prescribed by” regulation. That information will be provided to the new Health Choices Commissioner and state health programs and used to determine who qualifies for “affordability credits.”

Section 245(b)(2)(A) says the IRS must divulge tax return details — there’s no specified limit on what’s available or unavailable — to the Health Choices Commissioner. The purpose, again, is to verify “affordability credits.”

Section 1801(a) says that the Social Security Administration can obtain tax return data on anyone who may be eligible for a “low-income prescription drug subsidy” but has not applied for it.

Of course the Privacy Act, that inconvenient law that requires agencies to get information not from other agencies but from the individual, is being pointedly ignored here. In fact, reading above, you’d think our “lawmakers” were completely unaware of their own laws.

Given most of them haven’t even read the bill, you’d be exactly right. Additionally, we find out that not all health care insurance reform is contained in the pending versions of health care insurance legislation:

A better candidate for a future privacy crisis is the so-called stimulus bill enacted with limited debate early this year. It mandated the “utilization of an electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014,” but included only limited privacy protections.

That’s right – already passed into law, in the “stimulus” bill, and without any debate, is a mandate for the use of electronic health records.

Sound like “representative government” at work for you? Or does it sound like an increasingly intrusive government discarding your privacy for the sake of its own hoped for efficiency? Not that such access will provide a more efficient bureaucracy, but it sure will provide that bureaucracy with almost unlimited access to tax information about you and your family.

And that’s without ever getting into what this “Health Choices Commissar Commissioner” is supposed to do. Wouldn’t Orwell have a field day with all of this?

Tribute to the Porcelain God: This economy should be making you sick

By The Ans

Ralphing up Dollars.

Lunch (revisited).

Upchucking for fun and profit.

Regurgitating Godot.

Tossing up dimes.

Losing dinner.

Why the subject line?

We are riding on the thinnest of the razor’s edge. One false move and over we go. Wheeee!!!

The 07/08 patch was a warning, we need to change our ways but yet, we don’t. The next patch won’t be so … tame.

Most sense it but can’t put their finger on it, others are well aware but spin their wheels chasing this or that nostrum on the net and finally just get acrimonious. This constant state of upset usually includes some gastronomical event(s).

Hence the tag line.

Me, I’m mildly amused.

Hey, we got our tickets punched, might as well watch the show. Besides that I liked lunch so I prefer to keep it. It never tastes as good the second time anyway.

Reading between the lines…

Word is that there is a pretty good chance that TPTB will be able to keep the wheels on through November but that the underlying ‘structural defects’ that lead to the ‘structural dysfunctions’ of 2007/2008 timeframe have become more worrisome. 

Case in point. Did you know that a ‘very high percentage’ of the home sales over the past year have been done with the buyer ‘using’ the tax credit as a down payment. 

Flippers are a tenacious lot. 

Are you aware of the ARM resets uptick in 2010? Cash for Crack Houses … don’t laugh … it juiced car sales just in time but lets see the crater in September-December. And if the government demos the house, it eliminates the back log. The Toll Bros will be rollin’ in the dough. 

Of course, Krugman and various other neo-Keynesian wonks see the end game … their calls for a ‘second, bigger stimulus’ will become more frenetic and increasingly loud. When you have but one tool in the tool box … you need something to blame when it fails. 

Did you know that under classical Keynesian theory, the economic condition known as ‘stagflation‘ (simultaneous high unemployment and high inflation is impossible, not improbable but impossible). You should read some of the mental gyrations that classical Keynesians go through to explain that one … well they can’t. So neo-Keynesian theory was born. 

Hee, hee, hee. 

The Paradox of Thrift my aunt fanny! 

If you can’t keep the promise, change the promise … remember that and the fact that 2007/2008 was not an event but the beginning of an era. 

And before I lay my head down to sleep, 
I have many miles to tread and promises to keep. 

Oh, before I forget, appearances not withstanding, I am not disgusted with the state of affairs. Mildly amused is more like it.  

Off budgeteering, be careful out there, their are accountants on the loose!

The risk of a double-dip recession is risin

By Nouriel Roubini

The global economy is starting to bottom out from the worst recession and financial crisis since the Great Depression. In the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009 the rate at which most advanced economies were contracting was similar to the gross domestic product free-fall in the early stage of the Depression. Then, late last year, policymakers who had been behind the curve finally started to use most of the weapons in their arsenal.

That effort worked and the free-fall of economic activity eased. There are three open questions now on the outlook. When will the global recession be over? What will be the shape of the economic recovery? Are there risks of a relapse?
