Social Security Surplus Depleted

According to Money News  the surplus of the Social Security Adminstration has run out.  Originally they thought they had enough to get through 2017 but due to faulty Wall Street investments, all the money is gone! 

Social Security Surplus Already Gone

So what does that mean for people who are already receiving Social Security payments? Will they stop? Will millions lose their only source of income? The ramificiations of such a huge loss and how could this happen? Social Security has been warning people for years that they were on the brink of insolvency.  That if something wasn’t done and pronto that they were going to go bankrupt.  In fact, any time you called Social Security you got a message to that effect on the other end.

This wasn’t the Social Security trust fund however, this was a surplus.  A surplus that was supposed to take us to 2017 according to the article.  So what happened? They gambled it on the stock market! We are not talking bonds or CDs that mature over time and will pay an interest on the principal amount. We are talking straight up, Las Vegas type roulette gambling of other people’s money! We are basically talking taking millons of taxpayer dollars and going, “Yeah I got 20 showing, hit me!”

So what is going to happen now that we have fettered all the money away? Well, we are going to have to go begging money from people like China and Japan. Yeah, because I am sure they are just thrilled to lend us money considering we are already in debt up to our ears with them. 

“The decline means that the Treasury Department could be forced to borrow an additional $700 billion from foreign investors like China  and Japan just as those seem unwilling to hold the trillions in bonds they already own.”

Now it is one thing when government borrows money from another government that will be used to help the country as a whole. It is quite another when it is borrowing money, specifically for a government run program like Social Security.  Because then China can say, “Well since we are saving  your Social Security system, we also get a say in how it is run.” I don’t see China giving us the money without that condition attached to it.  And do we really want the Chinese with their notorious human rights abuses being in charge of any aspect of our government, especially Social Security that goes out our elderly and other vulnerable citizenry.

It is just too scary to think about.  So if your next Social Security check comes in the form of yen, you know why.

U.S to Spend $2.6 Million on Chinese Prostitutes

Some things are just so outrageous that you couldn’t make them up even if you sat down and tried your hardest to come up with the most insane premise.  Remember that fellow that got elected in November who keeps telling us that we are in the worst financial situation since the Depression (guess he missed the 70’s with its energy crisis that forced motorists to get gas on certain days and skyrocketing unemployment! )?  Well obviously we are not so bad off that we can’t spend 2.6 million dollars on Chinese hookers to help them with their drinking problems.  That is right, we are going to send federal funds to China to help them get their hookers into AA! It is under the guise of trying to alleviate HIV. Yeah right,  basically it is just some horny politicians trying to figure out how they can get the taxpayers to foot the bill so they can get drunk and laid Asian style!

According to CNS News:  The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAA), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job.

U.S. Will Pay $2.6 Million to Train Chinese Prostitutes to Drink Responsibly on the Job

So let’s look at this carefully. They don’t want them to stop drinking altogether.  They don’t want them to stop prostituting themselves. They simply want them to have a white wine spritzer instead of  Wild Turkey while servicing their john! The whole world has lost their ever loving mind! Hookers are the new gays.  Like gays before them, they want acceptance for the deviant acts they commit.  Also like gays before them they want to decide what they are called-sex workers.  Yeah and I would like to be called slender or a rocket scientist-ain’t happening dearie! But that is another essay altogether.  Let’s stick with the topic at hand.  Our government sees fit to send 2.6 million dollars to China for an immoral purpose, while trying to maintain it has a humanitarian benefit.  Heck, even if you are an American prostitute you should be ticked. Why are they sending money to China, a country who hasn’t known a human right they can’t abuse, instead of the streetewalkers right here on Hollywood and Vine? I am sure they would like a cut of the 2.6 million and if they had to drink less to get it, they would be more than willing to cut back to one six pack instead of three.

The whole thing is utter lunancy.  We can’t afford to get updated library books for my son’s school but we can afford to send 2.6 million dollars to Chinese hookers? Are you frickin’ kidding me? If it wasn’t so utterly and morally repugnant, it would almost be laughable.  If  I didn’t have to make the hard decisions about how many teachers would be hired back at my son’s school next year,  I could have a good hearty laugh about how simply outrageous this is.  However, when you are nickeling and diming yourself to death,  when you can only have a nurse at your child’s school 2 days a week because there is not enough money in the budget, then it stops being funny real fast.  With an additional 2.6 million how many teachers could be rehired? Not a whole heck of a lot, but at least we wouldn’t have to lay off 5,000 teachers.  Now mind you, this is coming from someone who absolutely abhors the public school system. Personally, I think we should fire everyone and just start all over.  But even with all its countless faults, it provides a much needed service.  And I would rather see 2.6 million go to the schools then to some drunk hookers!

So I mentioned earlier this was all in attempt to alleviate HIV.   Here is what they are proposing:  Previous studies in Asia and Africa and our own data from FSWs [female sex workers] in China suggest that the social norms and institutional policy within commercial sex venues as well as agents overseeing the FSWs (i.e., the ‘gatekeepers’, defined as persons who manage the establishments and/or sex workers) are potentially of great importance in influencing alcohol use and sexual behavior among establishment-based FSWs,” says the NIH grant abstract submitted by Dr. Li.

“Therefore, in this application, we propose to develop, implement, and evaluate a venue-based alcohol use and HIV risk reduction intervention focusing on both environmental and individual factors among venue-based FSWs in China,” says the abstract.

Okay now let’s try this in English and not Mandarin.  What in the world are they talking about? I know if you want a reduction in HIV tell them to stop being whores!!!! You think that might do the trick! (Pun not intended).  First of all the two biggest groups with HIV are men who sleep with men (MSM) and drug addicts that use needles.  In fact, it is almost unheard of for a woman to pass it to a man! So how are you reducing HIV, because even if she has it, her chance of passing it to her john is very slim! He is a lot more likely to give it to her than vice versa.  So if you were being intellectually honest, wouldn’t it make more sense to do the study on the johns and not the prostitutes? The only way you can reduce HIV in that environment is by testing every john that walks in the door, otherwise this whole thing is futile.   Truthfully, this is a load of bull that they are trying to pull over the American taxpayers’ eyes.  Let’s look at this logically:

1) They are testing the wrong population! The prostitutes are not the ones transmitting the virus therefore they shouldn’t be the target of the study.

2) It is drugs that have the larger impact on whether you get AIDS, not alcohol.  Specifically drugs like heroin, in which you inject it with a needle are liable to share needles. Mind you, this whole alcohol/AIDS correlation is based on that alcohol lowers your inhibitions so you are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior.  Excuse me he’s at BROTHEL and she’s works at one!!!! I think any time you step foot into one risky sex is PROBABLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!!!

3)  Seventy percent of those with AIDS are gay or bisexual men.  Therefore wouldn’t it make more sense to concentrate on male prostitutes,  if we are going to do this insane thing, then female ones?

Now here’s the clencher:  Li said his study is being done in China rather than the U.S. because prostitution occurs with alcohol use in the United States like it does in China, Americans will be able to benefit from the project’s findings.

What? We are doing it in China instead of the United States because it is going to help people in the United States? Does that make sense to you? Now remember, seventy percent of HIV positive people in the United States are gay and bisexual men! So how is surveying heterosexual sex in China going to help them? The whole thing is nothing but a sham and they are hoping the people of the US are so scared and intellectually backwards when it comes to their knowledge of  HIV that they can push this through.  Basically, it is about some perverts getting their freak on in China! You are doing a bang up job Obama! Oops was that sexually inappropriate? Because this whole study is that is for sure.

North Korea Launches Rocket

Missile on launch pad

Okay the title pretty well says it all.  I don’t even know how to begin.  Didn’t we see this coming? Haven’t we warned America that Kim Jong II is a madman with no respect for anyone’s authority but his own? Haven’t the conservatives of this nation been saying for years now that Kim Jong II is a serious threat to us and the rest of the civilized world? Even more so than Iraq and Afghanistan? But did anyone listen? NOOOOOOO! Now,  he has launched a rocket that has landed in the waters between Korea and Japan.

NKorea launches rocket, defying world pressure

Kim Jong II is saying they were just launching a satellite.  I guess they are trying to get ready for June 12, 2009 when tv goes digital.  Maybe Direct TV didn’t show up between 8 am and 12 noon like promised so good ol’ Kim decided, “You know what if you want something done right you have got to do it yourself.” So he attached a satellite to a rocket and sent it spiraling into space never thinking that the rest of the world might think he IS TESTING MISSILES!!!! Yeah that must be it.  And I drink 7 up because it is made of “all natural ingredients!’ Come on does this guy really think we’re stupid?

According to the Yahoo article, Obama had this to say about the situation:  “President Barack Obama warned the move would further isolate the communist nation.”  Hello, we are talking about Kim Jong here not Dale Carnegie, I don’t think the first thing on the mind of North Korea is making friends and influencing people! He’s not you, Obama, he can care less if the rest of the world likes him or not! Then there is all this indignation that North Korea went against UN resolutions.  Yeah because we all know how honorable nutjob tyrants are!

A special UN sesssion has been called for Sunday and it is being called for stronger sanctions against North Korea.  I can understand why, they have done a bang up job so far quelling that North Korean threat haven’t they?  The two hold outs they are most worried about is Russia and China-North Korea’s closest ally.  Surprise, surprise-Russia and China-because we all know just what a bedrock of democracy those two countries are.

The whole thing is unsettling.  Armageddon is fast approaching and people are not paying attention. Welcome to the new world order people, the demise of human liberty is very immient.
