An Acceptable Margin of Loss, Who Gives a Damn.

I think I can say that in the title, just opinions right, and adding that who gives damn is appropriate, who really does shy of small talk? Not many and that is because while many are "struggling" making $280,000 a year, as our president states, many are doing so far better then most and this recovery is all about helping them. That is a non disputable fact.They get all the help right down to mortgages, short sales, first time buyers loans, low interest loans, etc, etc, etc. All facts of life. Now if what our president stated the other day and during his bid to become president is true and I have no reason to doubt him then 16.6% of this nation dead and gone and already is considered as an acceptable negative margin for operating this government. To a business man that is the operating loss or write off. So if we take 300,000,000 people and divide it into 50,000,000 people we come up with that number. You're most likely dead so you are not reading this. Your internet cancelled a long time ago.

That speaks to why this recovery is not about those 50 million Americans even though they speak of them to get this new Health Bill passed. No, it never was about them because they can't bring anything to the table, nada, nothing, zilch. They cannot nor will they ever recover. They are the non credit worthy, irresponsible, unemployed, dead beat, low skilled to no skilled workers who have limited education and really no hope. Although they don't know that because they placed their hope in a man. They have been accepted as they do in the business world as the negative cost of doing business and acceptable loss or expense that every business must deal with. Once no longer necessary they are cut lose, trashed. It really is that simple to an investor, banker, politician yes even a general planning a battle. Reduce or eliminate risk and that they have done splendidly via the bail outs and new laws, fact, reality, history. They have passed all the risk onto you and they have made the IRS their new bill collector.

Now how do they maintain or keep this many people complacent? Well education of the young starting early, yes, indoctrination one way, but the real tool of the trade is marketing, selling hype, falsehood, hope in a new package. Same old concepts, ideas, agenda and goal while giving people something, a bone or two that comes in the form of all kinds of perks and a long wish list to hope for. The bones are called entitlements and the hope their plans, that is what they profess they are doing to help. Yes help is on the way but they failed to qualify for who? Yes and since these poor and average people, the great majority bring very little and basic skills to the employment market they are the fodder for the low paid, necessary, labor oriented tasks of the new America. A necessary evil for the wealthy and it is important to keep them low paid and in need. The haves do need maids, nannies, gardeners, waiters, CNA types, farm workers, factory and retail help, etc. Someone has to do what they don't want to and that is you. It has been that way forever and now even more so with many more joining the ranks.

However, that is fast becoming a problem because many are finding out and asking themselves why work, why stayed married, why do anything? I can do quite well with these entitlements and get by without as much as breaking a sweat. That is where the low wage foreign worker, green card recipient, who will work for way less and the illegal step into the void. Why, they can be exploited without even any notice or care. Yes and businesses love them, after all they work harder and longer for less, more for the owner. Just listen to them when they speak and hear. Why not love them, for now.

So we now have in America an increased low level economic and poor population and the opposite, which this government calls the middle class. They make $95,000 and up and sadly struggle, how very sad. As I stated the lower classes already written off as necessary assets. Really, there never was a "middle class" but now they have created one. They used to be the "upper middle class"  and average and poor, but there is just poor and very poor now and "middle class."

So if you fit into that category and you placed your help in this man, because of his race, his looks, how he spoke, what he promised to do for you, change, understand this, he is no more then a man and that is where you went wrong. His record, well speaks to itself. Yes and are you happy, content and in love with getting a bone here or there, the changes he is making? Us new poor, well we're hoping for a better life, a step up, and well, by fact, we are dead and many don't know it. We actually fell, were destroyed, killed long ago and we never knew it. It was taking place right before our eyes but we were content and happy with having "the good life." That they say  "help is on the way,"   when there is no real help for us doesn't matter. Oh, that $10.00 tax beak, a doctor visits her or there, but nothing more then that.

Yes we are as the title states, an acceptable margin of loss and no entity of this nation be it government, business, person, or even religious gives one damn, fact. Those that have content with the "change", not a peep unless it is praise or defense of them that kill and destroy others. No, I include them all and many never seem to understand that. They all brought you this. The all planned and executed this, every single one of them. Then they look at others and point, really. What is your name doing on that law, bill. vote you wrote as a yes?

So I defy you who make under $50,000 a year single or joint, if that, and are even working to tell me how much better you are today? Ok, I realize many of you will never ever read this but it must be said in case your neighbor reads it and wants to share. Let them print it out for you, like I said, if they care?  Hey I didn't like Bush either but the reality is that it is a fair question. Yes do you have your home or are you on the street or about to lose it? How is your job, scared? Oh, Bush did it really, you really believe that, how sad. Oh, you long for the Bill Clinton days, really. No by fact your plight all about you and you can accept it or not. The truth doesn't change it can only be ignored or lied about and ignoring it won't make your situation change only you can.

So be content with ignoring what is going on about you like it doesn't impact you. Be content with your socialized medicine because you think your costs will go down and you will get the help you need when you need it. Be content with your food stamps, that is if you qualify and many don't even though your government says to qualify it is $88,000 for a family of 4. How about your new low wage, go no where job? Then again there is always a life of hard work gone. Takne to pay off unsecured debt.  How, by you being booted from your home? Don't worry Catholic Charities has a tent waiting for you and your kids and mom. Yes and when they have a job for you they'll let you know, that is at $8.50 an hour, 30 hours a week and you will say thanks, keep up the good work. The good jobs, well to green card holders because Americans, well they just don't have it any longer. Oh, you though green meant something else, I see. So get used to your new way of life because as our president stated, Americans will just have to learn to live with less. Why because that is what the poor do. They are happy with what pittance they get and they thank God and yes, they hope and pray for a better day and America, well America is full of hope these days, not much else, except bull, well you know.

Yes America today and I fit right in with you. Everything lost, all gone, and the rest waiting for them to come and take it on unsecured, no collateral, signature debt, amazing. Finally and yes finally, when my quality of life and yours becomes an issue, well we know what happens don't we? No, not them, us, our loved one. You won't need to go to Oregon to find out your an expense item that isn't worth it any longer Yes like old inventory it must go and you will. Yes as true an article as anyone will ever write. Too bad it is one more for the historians and few will ever read it in this site, in this age, fact. You see they have and they, well they don't give a damn, regardless of what they profess. See ya.
