Here's A Startling Fact About President Obama's New Budget
Submitted by Simon Black via Sovereign Man blog,
On February 2, 493 AD, two barbarian kings signed a peace treaty pledging to lay down their weapons and rule Italy together.
The first king, Odoacer, had taken over Rome 17 years before in what most historians view as the official “fall” of the Western Roman Empire.
Theodoric, on the other hand, was the 39-year old king of the Ostrogoths who had moved swiftly into Italy and taken over many major cities.
People were sick and tired of fighting. And when the two kings decided to settle the peace, there was much to celebrate.
A grand banquet was organized. They ate. They drank. They slapped each other on the back and talked of the future.
Then, in an epic Game of Thrones moment, Theodoric raised his glass, toasted his new colleagues, and slaughtered Odoacer right where he sat.
Theodoric viewed it as his personal mission in life to restore the greatness of old Rome, and he wasn’t about to share power with someone who might stand in his way.
So after consolidating all the power for himself, he waged war once again across the countryside, retaking parts of Southern Europe and the Balkans.
His main obstacle was money. Or at least the lack of it.
Rome itself was a tiny shell of its former greatness… and more than a century of warfare, price controls, economic turmoil, civil war, etc. had taken its toll.
The economy was in ruins, and Theodoric needed to raise some cash.
So he went to the old playbook of all bankrupt governments— he plundered his own people.
Going against Pagan tradition in which the dead were often buried with gold and silver, Theodoric ordered the tombs plundered, decreeing according to Senator Cassiodorus that “it was a crime to leave hidden among the dead and useless, what would keep the living alive.”
Theodoric knew very well back then, as politicians know today, that dead people don’t vote. In fact, politicians today routinely steal from the dead… specifically the unborn.
Children that won’t even be born for decades will inherit enormous debts that have been racked up today on drones, bombs, and wars that were waged in our era.
President Obama’s most recent budget makes this abundantly clear.
The new budget projects spending $2.548 TRILLION just on MANDATORY programs like Social Security and Medicare. Another $426 billion will be necessary just to pay interest on the debt.
In total, this is over 99% of ALL the tax revenue the government collected in 2014.
In other words, they’ll spend nearly ALL of their current tax revenue before they write a single check for anything we think of as government (like the military, the IRS, or the light bill at the White House).
Naturally they’re not planning on turning off the lights anytime soon. So they finance the rest of it with… debt.
In the spirit of Theodoric, debt represents theft. Right now it’s theft from unborn generations. But soon they’ll turn their sights on an even bigger pool of savings from We the Living.
This is the subject of today’s podcast; it contains some rather startling facts… and I mean facts… about Mr. Obama’s new budget.
This is not wild conjecture or sensationalist assertions. These are their own words in black and white, available to the public, to anyone who is paying attention.
More importantly, we talk about solutions. It’s one thing to be aware. But even more important is to do something about it.

Lucky for him the Middle Class is so fucking rich.....
Wait until the middle class figures out how to rehypothecate their obamacars, then you'll see some massive wealth generation.
An A Tranche of Yugos has been know to be enough to get you back and forth to work reliably. Guaranteed.
Those things are already 1/2 horsepower to the ground, aren't they?
inb4 "muh roads!!!!". Yeah, that means you milliondollarbonus.
The middle class will eventually reach a point where they have nothing left to give Obama except the middle finger.
Contrast in Leadership Quality:
King of Jordan response to video showing the burning alive of 26 yo Jordanian pilot by muslim terroroists: 2 hours after video two muslim terrorists hanged.
Narcisstic illegal alien muslim pathological liar in chief's response to U.S. citizens decapitation video: go golfing and release more muslim terrorists from Gitmo.
Behavior reflects personality.
If you want the US government to go around executing terrorists willy nilly I suspect that you haven't seem the documentation showing just who qualifies as a terrorist these days -- people like those with maps, cameras, copies of the constitution, Ron Paul bumper stickers or more than a month's worth of food.
He's rigth we must increase spending, now! They know we are good for it. Cleanest dirty shirt!

"I tax dead people" - Obama
Don't forget he also wants to massively raise taxes on dead people, just in case one of two of us manage to actually save a few dollars after paying a lifetime of income, property, sales tax, Obamacare and whatever other taxes he can dream up before we keel over at our desks.
"Some dead Folks got taxed."
On A Long Enough Timeline...
Fuck Simple Simon and his fucking "solutions."
This author has gone not just a bit wrong, but quite disturbedly wrong.
So much unlikely that I venture to say not possible. Imagining that the US of A will even be a going concern decades from now is wishful thinking verging on fantasy.
Made me laugh. The article's author is part of US citizens for whom propaganda is making a living. Best is still this guy has reached his target and has found himself a herd of cultists to follow him in his fantaisist tale.
The author does not get it. When a giant falls, the solution is to avoid it falling on you.
Here comes the employer-tax-everything RFID chip.

“We want to be able to understand this technology before big corporates and big government come to us and say everyone should get chipped – the tax authority chip, the Google or Facebook chip.”
These are the words of Hannes Sjoblad who believes he is preparing us for the day when the government wants everyone to be chipped.
I would go live in the hills in squallor before I accepted being chipped.
Hopefully dead and gone. Vaccines will be mandatory.
Yes, finally the vail of freedom has been lifted. A new day is upon us. A new age of entligtenment.
OK OK ok, I get it....just stamp the 14 trillion dollar coin and let's move on......
But where are we moving to? Perhaps backwards for another decade. Let's see when was NAFTA Signed, 1994. Hm, didn't stop outsourcing or off-shoring or Decapitalization of US Industries.
- Borders Still Open & Free (Slave) Trade in force
- Past Bush Comments Shock Conservatives:
- 'Not possible' to 'completely control border'...
- 'Repopulate' Detroit with immigrants...
- 'Ridiculous' not to give 'accelerated citizenship' to young illegals...

I can't see how changing the Name of the Redskins or a national social program to make gay marriage legal or create the ultimate police state helps.
"Theodoric knew very well back then, as politicians know today, that dead people don’t vote."
Apparently, Simon has never witnessed an election in Northern New Mexico. Specifically, Rio Arriba county. Some Patron would decide who was going to win the election, the voter lists wouldn't always be purged of dead people, and those dead people would miraculously vote.
Black apparently doesn't know about Chicago, 1960. Dead voters made Kennedy the president.
Black also says "Theodoric viewed it as his personal mission in life to restore the greatness of old Rome, and he wasn’t about to share power with someone who might stand in his way." Moving to modern times, Obama views it as his personal mission in life to restore the greatness of the Soviet Union, and he isn't about to share power with anyone who might stand in his way, like Boehner or Mitch M. or Justice Roberts. Too bad he couldn't have just gone to Russia to try this, rather than stay in the US.
.... whoa..... and all this time I thought the narcissistic pahtologial liar in chief fudgepackers personal mission in life was to destroy the United States and its Constitution...... who woulda thunk it...
It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business.
JFK won Illinois in 1960 from dead voters. New York has some people that registered before the civil war that still vote (Sorry can't find the link)
Antebellumite.
Of course, this will only cause even fewer children to be born... . We are Japan!
Hence the integration with Mexico, after all why settle for the American Dream when you can have the North American Dream...........
Presidents that produce a budget are fucking morons. It's the job of Congress to come up with a budget. No President that produced a budget has had it accepted. You would think it would be one thing they would stop doing because it only opens them up for one more attack.
"The Budget and Accounting Act of 1921 requires the President to submit his budget request for the upcoming fiscal year no later than the first Monday of February. "
Not his job, I would not do it.
'Loading up the nation with debt and leaving it for the following generations to pay is morally irresponsible.' - Thomas Jefferson
We are still paying for WWI! That was almost 100 years ago. We (I mean our decendants) will be paying for the bailouts for much, much longer. That is of course if the current system built on debt is still in place. I don't think that its possible for this system to still be around. I don't see how it can be around for another generation. I think the dollar system (debt) will crash soon.
Don't saddle your children and grandchildren with debt. Wouldn't it be nice for us to leave this world making it better for the next generation. Buy gold and silver. It has been used as money for thousands of years and will hold its value long after this system crashes. If you know some people who are only half awake to this Ponzi system, giving them a candle with a silver coin prize (www.etsy.com/shop/ScentSavers) is a great way to get them more interested in real money!

Where is the US Crisis that the Massive Federal Budget Spending Justifies?
We don't want to waste Tax Revenue while we have $18.1 Trillion in Public Debt after a period of 13 Years of Massive Spending on Endless Wars and MIC Technology & Industry Development.
"The budget called for $3.99 trillion in spending for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, a 6.4% increase from the current year. It also estimated that revenue would total $3.53 trillion, resulting in a $474 billion deficit, the lowest since 2008."

- Simon Black is pretty Tame in this Short Article
- No US War Chest, No Treasury Surplus, no free market on Federal Interest Rates (from the FED), so where is the integrity
"Children that won’t even be born for decades will inherit enormous debts that have been racked up today on drones, bombs, and wars that were waged in our era."
Um, entitlement spending is far bigger than military spending. To say that the debt was racked up on military spending is a distortion of the facts.
Guns and butter.
The General Axiom of Government #1: "Government is nothing more than a criminal syndicate of violence, theft, destruction, and death. All statements otherwise are lies."
The General Axiom of Government #2: "Being nothing more than a criminal syndicate, government can only produce 4 things, poverty, misery, death, and lies. All statements otherwise are lies."
The General Axiom of Government #3: "Being nothing but a criminal syndicate, government always accomplishes the opposite of the stated goal, as the stated goal is always a lie."
The General Axiom of government #4: Being nothing but a criminal syndicate concerned only with stealing, and killing, under cover, lie, of "service," government must always monitor, and control, the thoughts, attitudes, behavior, and speech of their victims, subjects.
The banksters need to repay us.
It would be fortunate for us, the American people, if CIA-Obama were the governmnet, as his removal would be all that would be needed to Restore the American country, and republic. Unfortunately, he is only one piece of rancid corn in the cesspool of shit that is the criminal DC US governmnet who are criminally occupying, and oppressing, the American country.
Government is a method of regulating society through violence. As such it can not possibly achieve a positive outcome for civilized individuals.
"Government is a method of regulating society through violence. As such it can not possibly achieve a positive outcome for civilized individuals."
Yes, and no. Government is about theft via violence, and/or threat of violence, not "regulating." Regardless, history does inform that a "positive outcome for civilized individuals" is impossible.
The banksters need to repay us.
At this point, it does no good to worry about the amount the US Government owes.
Those that loaned it to the US knew they were not going to get it all back. They are, in reality, the ones that enabled all of this debt in the first place.
They just do not yet know if they are going to get a trim or get scalped.
I'm rooting for a scalping myself.

ZH do an expose of who owns what in America.

"China is on the way to becoming the dominant land owner in the entire country, and that is starting to alarm a lot of people. Do we really want a foreign superpower to physically own so much of our territory?"
Common law, and sense, would say, as would I, that you cannot be compelled to repay what was contracted when you weren't even born yet. I would go so far as to say that one cannot be held libel for anything that one did not sign for--none of it.
And further yet, being that the Federal Reserve is Unconstitutional, any and all fiat, or debt, issued by them, public, or private, is null and void.
The banksters need to repay us.
The most powerful weapon the American people have is Rejection.
The system of fraud and theft that has been built up upon the backs of the American people is dependent upon our backs. Withdraw our backs, and the whole scheme collapses. This is our greatest weapon.
Stop Paying--Put it into food, and precious metals, etc. They stole whatever "debt money" they loaned you in the first place (fractional reserve banking) and soon you won't be able to pay them anyways, so Stop Paying.
Stop Playing--Stop being a tool for them to use, mock, and call "stupid." Stop Playing.
Stop Obeying--If they are in violation of the Constitution then they are not legitimate anyways, so Stop Obeying their unlawful dictates.
The Four Rs
Rejection: Stop Paying. Stop Playing. Stop Obeying.
Revolution: It is inevitable, so prepare, as they are.
Retribution: The guilty must answer for their crimes against the American people and the Constitution. No “truth and reconciliation,” but “trial and Retribution.”
Restoration: Restore the American people, country and Constitutional republic.
The new boss is always the same as the old boss. Why not chose to interact with other individuals on a strictly voluntary basis?
"Why not chose to interact with other individuals on a strictly voluntary basis?"
I agree, however, it is hard enough to get the sheeple to comprehend how they are being raped and pillaged by the powers that currently be, much less get them to understand individualism.
One stepping stone at a time.

The Byzantine Empire lasted for 1,120 years.
"In the year 313 BCE, the emperor Constantine I adopted Christianity as the official religion of the Roman empire, and moved the capital to Byzantium, which became known as Constantinople..." At the beginning of the Byzantine reign, Jews were allowed to practice their religion..." "In the year 351, though, the Jews, persecuted under the Roman emperor, rebelled.""The Jews, while for the most part tolerated in other parts of the empire to varying degrees, lost their autonomy in the Holy Land..." 'In the beginning of the 5th century, the situation of relative tolerance throughout the empire began to change, as well. Jews were not allowed to hold civil or military offices—except for that of a tax collector." "In the 6th century, the emperor Justinian tightened control over the Jews, further decreasing their status." "During the Crusades [~1095+], Jews were persecuted, often forced to choose between conversion and death; many chose suicide."

The end justifies the means. If we can spread freedom and democracy, and build nations in our image, money is no object, right?
What future? TPTB are making sure that there won't be any "future" generations. The elites are ready, now, to push that red button which will bring us all to our knees. TPTB r robnume.

Deficits will continue forever regardless of who is President, regardless of who controls congress. To believe it really matters which party controls any of it makes a difference is to ignore 50 years of real history.
Social Security is paid out of a trust fund. It's a distortion to say it's responsible for consuming all of the collected tax revenue.
