Consequences of defaulting on the federal debt

Congress has the duty to honor the debts of the United States by
raising the federal debt ceiling under the "full faith and credit
clause," Article IV, Section 1, of the U.S. Constitution, and Section
4 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Not raising the
federal debt ceiling will cause a default on the U.S. debt in
violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Has the U.S. ever defaulted on its debt? Well, in a technical sense
yes, briefly and unintentionally when Congress waited to the last
minute to act to raise the federal debt ceiling in 1979. Our present
situation differs where Tea-Publicans are threatening not to raise the
federal debt ceiling intentionally to put the nation's debt into
default. That will shake the confidence of the international markets
in the ability of the U.S. government to govern itself and to honor
its debts.

All lending agreements, whether between central banks of countries, or
your mortgage or credit card agreement, have a "default" provision
that automatically escalates the rate of interest to a default rate in
the event of default. For many, this will affect your credit
worthiness and make credit unavailable. The banks will "adjust" the
interest on all credit agreements. Default will cost Americans
hundreds of billions of dollars in additional interest and tax dollars
to finance the interest on the federal debt over time.

So when you hear the darlings of the Tea Party like Sen. Jim DeMint (R-
SC) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) say they are going to vote
against raising the federal debt ceiling because they "don't believe"
anything bad is going to occur, just keep in mind that they are
ignorant of history, ignorant of economic principles, ignorant of how
the international monetary system works, and ignorant of how
international markets work in the real world.

Why would any sane person listen to what an ignorant fool has to say
when all the experts in the field who do this for a living say it will
result in a debt crisis and another recession?

Musharraf (Bush Jr.'s buddy in Pakistan) calls US aid suspension ‘disastrous’

WASHINGTON - Former president Pervez Musharraf has warned of dire
consequences from the recent US decision to suspend $800 million of
military aid to Pakistan, saying the move was not in the best interest
of the two countries.

"Certainly it will be disastrous," Musharraf said during a speech at
Rice University in Houston, Texas, on Monday evening, according to
media reports. "It is not in the best interest of Pakistan but also
not in the best interest of the United States. If Pakistan is weakened
how do we fight terrorism?"

Strange there is no mention in this article of the President who
stopped sending money to Pakistan...
uh, that would be President Obama for those stupid enough to not know
any better.

Who's terrorism? Pakistan's or the U.S.'s?

The only thing Pakistan did was build atom bombs with the billion$$$
given them by Bush Jr. to point at India.
Pakistan could give a rats ass about fighting terrorism for the U.S.

Only Republitards believe Pakistan didn't know Bin Laden was 1 mile
from their main military base.
Only Republitards believe Pakistan is an ally.
Only Republitards would continue giving billion$$$ to Pakistan and
gloss over Pakistan throwing out U.S. military trainers, arresting
those that blew the whistle of the location of Bin Laden, and
indirectly paying for Pakistan's nuclear weapons programs.

Folks, they don't call them the stupid party for nothing.
They look for stupid to vote for stupid.

Murdochs millions buys ignorance... sometimes

The News Corporation seems determined to take Britain and the US down
a similar path. But now, at least in Britain, the political class is
in revolt. Prime Minister David Cameron – who previously cultivated
close ties with News Corporation leaders, even employing as his press
secretary The News of the World's former editor, who was recently
arrested for his role in the scandal – called the phone hacking
"disgusting.

James Murdoch, Rupert's son and Chairman and Chief Executive of News
Corporation's European and Asian operations, authorized a secret
payment of £1 million ($1.6 million) to buy the silence of hacking
victims.

Republitards playing election fraud in Wisconsin

Robocalls spam WI Democrats, telling them not to vote in recall
elections

Local news blog WI Voices reported that registered Democrats have been
receiving recorded calls, claiming to be from a Right to Life group.
The recorded call instructs them that they don't need to go to the
polling place to vote, saying, "You don't need to worry. Your absentee
ballot is in the mail."

"This robocall is illegal activity and election fraud at its worst,"
WI Voices wrote. They note that the calls have been coming from phone
number 703-410-3201, and warn to look out for 703 area codes.

Terrific Power Point on the Progressive Era

Terrific Power Point on the Progressive Era
Posted by Charles Burris on July 12, 2011 02:44 PM

Thomas C. Leonard of Princeton University has compiled a terrific power point presentation on the Progressive Era. It is available at the first item (click "slide-show") on this link. The presentation is very comprehensive, yet explains in very easy to understand terms why understanding this crucial period is important. This is definitely NOT Glenn Beck at his blackboard superficial stuff. This is the real deal.

Many of Leonard's explorations and insights are very compatible with the synthesis of analysis developed by Murray N. Rothbard:

"The Progressive Era and the Family": The Progressive Era was the incubation period of the welfare-warfare state ­ and of all the malevolence that follows.

"World War I as Fulfillment: Power and the Intellectuals": The Great War was not the end of Progressive "reform" but its fulfillment.

"Origins of the Welfare State in America": Here Rothbard provides the Rosetta Stone to understanding the origins of the welfare state in America: the role of post-millennial Protestant pietistic intellectuals and evangelical activists born in the crucial decade surrounding the events of the Civil War who, because of the seductive influence of the evolutionary naturalism of Darwinism, came of age increasingly secularized, but who did not forsake their faith in statism and elitist social control.

WALKING THE DOG

A WOMAN was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted to Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.

Everybody got off the plane except one lady who was blind.  The man had noticed her as he walked by and could tell the lady was blind because her Seeing Eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of her throughout the entire flight.

He could also tell she had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached her, and calling her by name, said, 'Kathy, we are in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?'

The blind lady replied, 'No thanks, but maybe Buddy would like to stretch his legs.'


Picture this:
All the people in the gate area came to a complete stand still when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines!

True story. Have a great day and remember..

Afghanistan: A War of Choice, Not Necessity

Afghanistan: A War of Choice, Not Necessity
by Sheldon Richman, Posted July 12, 2011

In December Barack Obama received his awaited assessment of the war in Afghanistan, then reported to the American people that the mission is "on track" and troops would begin to withdraw next July. But the semi-upbeat assessment was less than persuasive because, as the Washington Post reported, "The overview of the long-awaited report contained no specifics or data to back up its conclusions. The actual assessment document is classified and will not be made public."

In other words, if we are to believe the president, we have to take him on faith. But even Obama noted during a media briefing that "the gains we've made are fragile and reversible." Around the time he was speaking, USA Today was reporting,

Taliban small-arms attacks against U.S. and allied troops in Afghanistan are nearly twice what they were a year ago, a reflection of increased coalition penetration of Tal iban strongholds and the insurgency's resilience, military officials and analysts said.

U.S. forces have encountered more than 18,000 attacks this year from Taliban fighters armed with automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and in some cases missiles, according to data from the Pentagon. That compares with about 10,600 such attacks in 2009.

That did not look like progress from the American empire's perspective.

As for the July 2011 withdrawal-commencement date for the 100,000 American troops, the pledge is tarnished by a NATO resolution to remain in Afghanistan through 2014 and beyond. Moreover, the Post stated, "But the summary document included no specifics as to the potential size or pace of withdrawal, making no assessment as to whether any milestones have been reached and leaving substantial wiggle room for future decisions." That wiggle room can be seen in the report summary's words, "responsible, conditions-based U.S. troop reduction." You could drive a truck through that loophole. Who would be surprised to hear this in several months: "Given the conditions on the ground, beginning a troop withdrawal at this time would not be responsible"?

"Progress" in Afghanistan

The assessment summary alluded to gains over the Taliban, but that must be tempered by a few overlooked facts. First, "Taliban" is virtually a catchall phrase that includes even Pashtun opponents of the American occupation who are not looking to create the pre-2001 regime of Mullah Mohammed Omar. Second, U.S. reports of progress are undermined by independent accounts that say U.S. forces have failed to accomplish their objectives in insurgent strongholds in the south and that the "Taliban" has made inroads in the north, where it has not been strong.

Yet even where the American military has made gains, they appear to be the result of stepped-up violence that alienates the local population and undercuts the counterinsurgency (COIN) strategy, which seeks to win support from the people. "The military offensive in Kandahar, which had been opposed clearly and vocally by the local leadership in the province, was accompanied by an array of military tactics marked by increased brutality," Gareth Porter of the Inter Press Service reported. "The most prominent of those tactics was a large-scale demolition of homes that has left widespread bitterness among the civilians who had remained in their villages when the U.S.-NATO offensive was launched, as well as those who had fled before the offensive."

Porter wrote that "the district governor in Arghandab, Shah Muhammed Ahmadi, acknowledged that entire villages had been destroyed." Ahmadi says villages are destroyed only when they have been abandoned; however, Porter added, "Col. David Flynn, the battalion commander of a unit of the 101st Airborne Division responsible for a section of the district, contradicted the claim that demolition was only carried out if the people who owned the houses could not be found."

In newspaper interviews Flynn said he ordered residents of one village to identify where improvised explosive devices were hidden or face demolition ­ a threat of collective punishment that violates the Geneva Convention. "The house demolitions in Kandahar have apparently affected many thousands of people," Porter wrote. Other forms of collective punishment have also been reported. "The new level of brutality used in the Kandahar operation indicates that [Gen. David] Petraeus has consciously jettisoned the central assumption of his counterinsurgency theory, which is that harsh military measures undermine the main objective of winning over the population," Porter concluded. "But there are tell-tale signs that higher-level commanders in Kandahar know that those tactics will not defeat the Taliban either."

Meanwhile, the International Committee of the Red Cross reported that the Afghan people remain in a dire condition. According to its website,

The main conflict-related challenges faced by Afghans in 2010 will persist in 2011.... [Those] challenges are civilian casualties, internal displacement, and insufficient access to medical care, all of which are occurring against the background of a proliferation of armed groups.... As the conflict has intensified and expanded geographically, civilian casualties have once again increased in comparison with previous years.

Obama also said progress has been made in "disrupting" al-Qaeda in Pakistan, but again, he provided no evidence. What we do know is that he has stepped up drone missile attacks in the border region near Afghanistan, inflicting civilian casualties and risking destabilization of nuclear-armed Pakistan. Moreover, the New York Times reported in late December,

Senior American military commanders in Afghanistan are pushing for an expanded campaign of Special Operations ground raids across the border into Pakistan's tribal areas, a risky strategy reflecting the growing frustration with Pakistan's efforts to root out militants there. The proposal, described by American officials in Washington and Afghanistan, would escalate military activities inside Pakistan, where the movement of American forces has been largely prohibited because of fears of provoking a backlash.

Attempts to surrender

In August 2009 Obama declared before the Veterans of Foreign Wars, "This is not a war of choice. This is a war of necessity" and "fundamental to the defense of our people." Is that true? It is useful to take a look back to 2001–02.

In "The Battle for Afghanistan: Militancy and Conflict in Kandahar," a paper published by the New America Foundation's Counterterrorism Strategy Initiative and excerpted by Foreign Policy journal in its November 10, 2010, web posting, Anand Ghopal reports that after the Taliban government fell in Kabul in 2001, members of the ruling group expressed a willingness to surrender to U.S. forces, resigned to Afghanistan's new situation. "[Some] of Mullah Omar's chief lieutenants secretly gathered and decided to surrender to the forces of [the U.S.-backed leader] Hamid Karzai," writes Ghopal, who has covered Afghanistan for both the Wall Street Journal and the Christian Science Monitor. "The group ... delivered a letter to Karzai ... accept[ing] Karzai's recent selection at the Bonn Conference as the country's interim leader and acknowledg[ing] that the Islamic Emirate (the official name of the Taliban government) had no chance of surviving. The Taliban officials also told Karzai that the senior leaders who signed the letter had permission from Mullah Omar to surrender."

Ghopal notes that the surrendering Taliban leaders offered not to participate in politics if the new government would not arrest them. "But Karzai and other government officials ignored the overtures ­ largely due to pressures from the United States and the Northern Alliance, the Taliban's erstwhile enemy," he notes (emphasis added). "[Some] Pashtun commanders" whom the Taliban had expelled years earlier, now sought to settle old scores and so were against reconciliation. As a result, the surrendering Taliban were subject to "[widespread] intimidation and harassment.... Many of the signatories of the letter were to become leading figures in the insurgency."

Thus, the resistance was largely of the U.S. government's own making. It was surely made more robust by the brutal treatment of people formerly associated with the Taliban. "The alienation of leading former Taliban commanders in Kandahar would become a key motivating factor in sparking the insurgency there. Kandahar's governor, Gul Agha Sherzai, had initially taken a conciliatory attitude toward former Taliban figures. But his close ties with U.S. special forces, who often posted rewards for top Taliban leaders, as well as isolated attacks against the government and the possibility of exploiting his position for financial gain, eventually led to a retaliatory approach," Ghopal writes. "A group of Sherzai's commanders ... became synonymous with abuse.

"These commanders targeted men formerly associated with the Taliban, often torturing them in secret prisons, according to numerous tribal elders, government officials, and Taliban members."

Many of the former Taliban escaped to Pakistan, but even after insurgency activities they were still open to making peace with the American-backed Karzai regime. "In 2002, for instance, the entire senior leadership except for Mullah Omar gathered in Karachi, Pakistan, for a meeting organized by former Taliban officials Mawlawi Arsala Rahmani and Mawlawi Abdul Sattar Siddiqi. The group agreed in principle to find a way for them to return to Afghanistan and abandon the fight, but lack of political will by the central government in Kabul and opposition from some sections of the U.S. leadership meant that such approaches were ultimately ignored," Ghopal writes (emphasis added). "In each of the following two years another delegation representing large sections of the Taliban leadership traveled to Kabul and met with senior government officials, but again nothing came of these overtures because of the lack of will from the government side."

That is startling information. U.S. forces have been in Afghanistan longer than the Soviet Union was. Between October 2001 and mid December 2010, nearly 2,200 U.S.-led coalition troops have been killed in the invasion and occupation. Of those, 1,361 were American. Using various estimates, Wikipedia calculates that 14,643–34,240 civilians have died directly and indirectly because of the war. Most of those people would be alive today if the Taliban offer of surrender and peace had been accepted.

Occasionally we read that the Obama administration or Karzai government is willing to negotiate with some Taliban elements. Recently it was revealed that a Taliban representative involved in talks with the U.S. authority was an imposter. Now we know that key Taliban figures had made serious overtures early in the U.S. occupation, but they were rebuffed ­ and even abused ­ in response.

Obama was wrong. Afghanistan is a war of choice. Even given the invasion, which was not justified anyway, the ensuing war did not have to happen. For a variety of reasons having little to do with "homeland security," the U.S. empire wanted a full-blown war. The American and Afghan people would surely have been better off without it.

Bring Our Troops Home: The Afghan War Is Over

Bring Our Troops Home: The Afghan War Is Over
Monday 11 July 2011
by: Jim Hightower, Other Words | Op-Ed

At long last, America's overdue withdrawal from Afghanistan has begun. "The tide of war is receding," President Barack Obama declared as he announced that 10,000 troops would come home this year and 23,000 more next year.

That tide has been a deadly one for our country ­ 1,650 of our troops killed, more than 11,000 maimed (many horribly, their lives shattered), and almost half a trillion of our tax dollars siphoned from crucial needs here at home. And what did we buy with this precious outlay? An Afghan government that is flagrantly corrupt and embarrassingly inept; a nation that remains impoverished, largely illiterate, anarchic, split into factious ethnic groupings, and roiled by an unresolved civil war that's been simmering (and occasionally boiling over) for nearly 40 years.

We need your help to sustain groundbreaking, independent journalism. Make a tax-deductible contribution to Truthout now, and your donation will be doubled by an anonymous foundation! Click here to donate.

Chances are good that it will spiral into civil war again, no matter what we do. "We won't try to make Afghanistan a perfect place," Obama said, apparently with no irony in his voice.

Yet, the withdrawal he spoke of is proceeding at an excruciatingly slow and costly pace. For more than a year, we'll continue to dump $10 billion a month into that war ­ money desperately needed for nation-building in America. Even with Obama's announced reduction in our forces, 67,000 U.S. troops will still be in Afghanistan at the end of next year. And despite his pledge of a total military drawdown by 2015, it will cost taxpayers about $8 billion a year after that to meet his commitment to recruit, train, and fund a 300,000-member Afghan army and police force.

This is a classic case of throwing good money after bad. Far worse, for at least three more years, we'll be throwing more American lives into a war that the president has declared to be over. America has achieved its goals there, he told us. Fine. So let's leave. Now.

More State Punishment of People

More State Punishment of People
Posted by Butler Shaffer on July 12, 2011 02:36 PM

Whenever the state gets into financial difficulties, and people resist the idea of being bled with more taxes, the politicians threaten to take away the few "services" the general public actually want. California did this back when Prop. 13 was passed: local governments reacted by cutting back on library hours, park usage, etc. Now the Emperor threatens to withhold Social Security payments unless members of Congress agree to a tax increase!

When these moral slugs ­who just love posing as "representatives" and "servants" of the public ­ start cutting back on hours of work at the DMV, or tax collection offices, or the police out hassling teenage pot smokers, they may reclaim a sliver of the credibility that they long ago lost.

July 8, 2011 (EIRNS)—On July 7, Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.), along with five co-sponsors, introduced a second Glass Steagall bill into the House. H.R. 2451, "To Restore Certain Provisions of the Banking Act of 1933, Commonly Referred to as the Glass Steagall Act, and for Other Purposes," is similar to H.R. 1489 (introduced by Rep. Marcy [...]

Obama Makes Move on Medicare, But No Deal Yet

Obama Makes Move on Medicare, But No Deal Yet
"President Obama and congressional Republicans emerged from closed meetings further apart Monday as they struggled to reach a deal on cutting future budget deficits, despite a White House suggestion that it could accept slowly raising the eligibility age for Medicare to 67." ( USA Today)

Rearranging the deck chairs.

A Sales Pitch for Laissez-Faire Health Care
Daniel B. Klein
July 1995 • Volume: 45 • Issue: 7 •

Professor Klein teaches economics at the University of California, Irvine.

What would it mean to establish liberty of property, consent, and contract in the area of health care?

It would mean the repeal of FDA drug-approval requirements, prescription laws, drug-development regulations, and restrictions on the dissemination of information. It would mean the repeal of state and local regulations in the following areas: medical schools and hospitals, occupational licensure, diagnosis and referral, the employment of doctors by for-profit firms, nonphysician ownership of medical firms, the use of brand names, the operation of multiple branch offices, the location of health-care facilities, and marketing practices. For prepaid health plans and hospitals, it would mean the repeal of regulations on benefit packages, enrollment requirements, rate setting, and facility expansion.¹

Here I speculate on the desirable features of such a regime.

Education and Training of Practitioners: Private and public institutions would issue degrees, certificates, and other credentials to candidates meeting their requirements. Many training programs would be intensive programs for specific skills. Training would expand and diversify drastically, perhaps even reaching down to basic training for lay people. The profile of practitioners would thus expand. It would permit practitioners the flexibility to adapt their human capital to the opportunities of time and place. Costs to the consumer would drop considerably. To make sense of this blossoming of health services, people would rely on knower intermediaries, information disclosures, brand names, and so on.

Drug Development and Availability: Costs would plummet, timeliness would improve and the profile of drugs would expand. Strong safety and quality incentives would flow from the umbrella of the pharmaceutical brand name and the tort system. Knower-institutions­perfectly analogous to Underwriters' Laboratories­would develop to certify safety. Doctors and pharmacists, acting as knowers and middlemen, would use their expert knowledge of drugs in advising the consumer.

The market would serve as an experimentation process–sometimes people would be killed by unsafe drugs (and companies would pay dearly), but such consequences belong to a benign process. There is a saying for people who frequently use air travel: If I never miss a plane I know I'm spending too much time in airports. At present, the FDA is the chauffeur whose pre-eminent incentive is to get the passenger to the airport on time. The consequence is that it gets us to the airport three days before the flight, and charges us dearly for the ride. The deaths of 100 children from Sulfanilamide in 1938 pale when compared with the annual death toll from the FDA's curtailment of drug availability. One study catalogues 192 generic and 1,535 brand-name tested drugs available abroad but not approved for sale in the United States.² How many thousands of deaths per year does such delay cause? Sam Kazman of the Competitive Enterprise Institute estimates that the FDA delay of just two drugs, misoprostol (which reduces gastric ulcers) and streptokinase (which dissolves blood clots in heart-attack victims), has caused thousands of deaths.³

Information and the Active Patient: Drug information would be improved by freedom to self-disclose in labeling and advertising. At present, consumer access to medical information is expanding, in the forms of health-care literature, medical libraries, online information services like Internet, referral services like Prologue, and services like The Health Resource, which generates for a fee thick packets of medical literature to customers specifying a diagnosis.⁴ In a freer market consumers would have easier access to opportune and pointed knowledge.

Commercialization: Brand-name and franchised clinics, medical groups, hospitals, and insurance plans would flourish. Milton Friedman prophesied in 1962: "[T]hey could organize medical care efficiently, combining medical men [and women] of different degrees of skill and training, using technicians with limited training for tasks for which they were suited, and reserving highly skilled and competent specialists for the tasks they alone could perform."⁵ Consumers would obtain at low cost gatekeeper diagnosis, referral, and second-opinion. Friedman's early vision of "department stores of medicine" would be proven prophetic.

Medical Groups and Insurance: Currently, medical groups employ utilization review and peer monitoring to police quality. Intermediaries (such as employers, membership organizations, and so on) serve as middlemen and agents, shopping over medical plans, helping large sets of ignorant consumers discriminate between better and worse health care. In a regime of freedom and enforcement of contract, health plans and insurers could write better patient-enrollment contracts and patient-performance contracts. They could mitigate member-selection problems by using more refined screening and pricing techniques. Perhaps firms would emerge to research, compile, and verify individuals' medical histories. Health plans and insurers could mitigate moral-hazard problems by requiring flu shots, check-ups, and other programs to promote prevention and early treatment.

Independent Knower Organizations: Data banks, consumer information bureaus, referral services, reporting literature, drugtesting facilities, and auditing firms would evolve more swiftly. Local organizations would emerge to rate health-care providers through undercover monitoring, patient interviews, or treatment reviews. Such a service might be supported by patients, analogous to Consumer Reports, or by physicians, analogous to Under-writers' Laboratories or Moody's. Consumers would reward those organizations that help them assess credentials and discriminate among the array of available health services.

Lay Awareness: There would be medical education without sacerdotal restraints. Basic medicine could be part of the high school curriculum. All manner of health-care education and training could be offered in community colleges and private institutes. Entrepreneurs have already developed medical software that responds to a list of symptoms with possible diagnoses and treatments.⁶ This program is based on data that are more extensive, more accurate, and more current than any doctor could hope to command. Informal courses might teach lay people how to use such programs. People would have better information to assess their needs and opportunities, and they would have the power to self-medicate.

In 1963, the famed economist Kenneth Arrow could write: "It is the general social consensus, clearly, that the laissez-faire solution for medicine is intolerable."⁷ Nowadays there is no such general social consensus.

Hello Bruce,

 

I am speaking about structure and function.  Here is the wikipedia link that explains that.  Females have synonomous glads but in a different location.  Penises can be placed anywhere for pleasure in females and males.  So therefore using your argument, does God not want women to have anoreceptive intercourse because they lack a prostate thus it is unnatural in women?

Hi Bruce.. the prostate is surrounded by several neurons andnerves that serve other functions than pleasure.  It is just a coincident that this happens.  there are evolutionary reasons for why we have evolved the way we have.  It is so that procreation is the end result. I have no issue with same sex partnerships and what people do behind closed doors.  But it is a stretch to say that a prostate massage is the reason that being gay is natural. Some women can have orgasms just by stimulation of the nipples-does that mean we should say that is proof that lesbian relationships are natural.  Not really.  The nerves that help with erection are in the same area-parasympathetic ganglion. That is all I have to say.  S
