US Future and its Debt - 2nd Term Blues

Telegraph: Reports the following from the money markets, " Analysts describe festering political conflict as "a Sword of Damocles", with politicians facing three more showdowns until March ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks, lets be truthful here, the welfare state is killing the WEST, the great advance in health means that people just live longer, in the past as an example a man who had worked in heavy industry would retire after he was 65, then he might live for another decade, now folks, if you retire, and the law has changed folks, you do not have to retire, you can retire let say at 70, and expected to get a birthday card when you reach a 100 from the Monarch,  one can even postulate with modern heath methods an individual can retire at 70 and reach a grand old age of around 110, or even older.   By allowing people to decide when they retire this has hit the chances of younger people getting jobs, it is a vicious mess folks.  The idea that the ObamaCare will cut costs is rubbish, the costs in the UK NHS are always going up, people expect the best service, no matter the cost folks.   The West has to look at what it wants, are voters willing to pay 70% to 80% for the welfare state, that includes the NHS, one has doubts, later because the political elite are not brave the West will start to say NO to welfare, it can not be afforded over the long term.  When that shoe drops folks there political elite at the time will be in a world of political hurt. 

The Left and the Tea Party - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Has the following in its Editorial folks, this what the LEFT really wants, " Let us hope the mid-terms mark the moment when the Tea Party's over. ".

Lets Get Real:

This is the problem with the left folks, they have no toleration for those that do not think like them, they view those with faith, or trust  the people not the Government as alien, even a cancer that should be destroyed.   It is odd folks, that the left never learns, after Watergate and the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter the left wanted Ronald Reagan to win the Republican Nomination as they thought he was extreme and that the US Voter would NEVER vote for a true Conservative.   That blind spot by liberals is why we had had the great decade of the 80s folks, low taxes, smaller government, big defence spending, and at its end, the end of the USSR.   The question that Democrats have to ask is will the same groups that supported President Obama in 08 and 12 come out for Hillary Clinton.    The election cycle never ends folks, thus in 2014 the fun starts folks, so many polls, you have to love the democratic system. 

Obama and his Poll Rating - 2nd Term Blues

Gallup: Report on its daily tracking poll on the job performance of President Obama, today POTUS has a " 42% Approval rating, while 52% of Americans Disapprove of the the Obama record. ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks the Oval WON its ObamaCare round with the Republicans, lets see if the Oval poll rating rises, the liberal elite press will run with a theme that the Republicans have been routed by the Oval, but lets recall in the mid 1990s Bill Clinton had a 52% Approval rating before and after this Government shutdown, after this defeat the Tea Party supporters in the Congress will keep the feet of the leadership close to fire, to make sure they do not appease the Oval over the next few months.   In January the Republicans should increase the CR for the Government in till after the Mid Term Elections, but hold the line when it comes to the debt ceiling rise, that comes up again on Feb 7th.   The US voter knows that the US cant carry on with a 17 trillion debt,  as they saying goes the other shoe will drop after the President Obama has left office in 2017.   The Republicans should be ready to allow the US to default after the Feb should the Oval remain in stubborn mode.  It will be a Obama default, the Republicans have to make sure that Obama has won short term victory, they have to win the long term war on the US debt, otherwise the US is finished folks, that simple and brutal folks.
