The Truth About Our National Debt

I've been away working. I read with not much interest in the usual cut and paste plagiarizing by Professor William "Willy" Yelverton stating that Obama is actually an economic genius (in Willy's mind) and that President Ronald Reagan ( a daily self inducing colonic to Willy) had increased the national debt by 400% making him a moron. Typical stuff from wee Willy. He reads sites that are so full of crap they make his eyes brown. As usual wee Willy is cutting and pasting lies .

Here is his "comment":

Guest 
2/3 of the National Debt now incurred is the result of Reagan and the Bush Presidencies -   FACT.  
 
Looking at the debt as a percentage, Reagan/GHW Bush more than quadrupled the debt.  ($930 billion to over $4 trillion) - 400%  
 
By Comparison, Obama has increased the debt by $3 Trillion (12 Trillion to 15 trillion) or by about 25%  
 
400% vs 25%  
 
Fact

Willy's use of the cap key is well known to those that have the time and patience to read him as well as those that have him as a crab infestation. He must feel it gives him gravitas. The same way he plucks harder on a string to give emphasis to a particular flamingo guitar piece. Actually, just like slamming the dinner table with an open hand slap when grandma doesn't toe the correct line.

Below is a chart that shows actual increases:

The length of time a President served also matters when assigning debt and making comparisons. This chart measures debt increases by Presidential term—i.e., four-year increments. President Reagan saw a 14.8 percent increase in the debt as a share of GDP over his eight years: 10.6 percent in his first term and 4.2 percent in his second. President Clinton enjoyed a nearly 17 percent decrease over the same number of years, first dipping 3.4 percent and then 13.4 percent in his second term when the economy was booming. George H. W. Bush’s record stands at 8.7 percent over four years.

As a percentage of GDP, debt increased by 4.4 percent during President George W. Bush’s first term and by nearly 17 percent in his second. At first glance, he and President Obama appear neck-and-neck at 21 percent and 23 percent, respectively. But there is one catch: Obama will have served for half the time. By 2013, President Obama will have increased debt by 23 percent after just four years—more than President Bush’s total eight-year increase of 21 percent and well more than either of the two Bush terms.

The future doesn’t look any brighter if the Obama Administration’s tax-and-spend policies remain the norm. Under these same policies, a second Obama term would see an increase of another 10 percent by 2017 for a two-term total of nearly 34 percent.

Why do I mention Willy? Simply because he chooses to descend on my blog like mindless locusts looking to do their mindless work. As they, he really has no purpose, just a genetic inclination to do. For some reason it makes him feel good whether it is twice a day, three times a day, five times a day and many days even more using different names, masked IP addresses and other duplicitous methods of commenting. He has stated that he must use these dishonest methods because conservatives worldwide block, ban and delete his cut and paste lies because they are scared of his truths. I have never blocked him even when he has been a reprehensible boar. I mention Willy because he is so much like his heroes in that he represents a method of political discourse which is made of lies. Lies that he and his ilk hope will become truth. Their politics is a Potemkin Village of lies.

Maybe, just maybe, if Willy wants to think for himself for a second or two he might realize his brand of progressive socialism has experienced its high water mark and no amount of lies will further its movement. The American people hate losers, especially those losers who steal from them, and are wise to their stealing ways and days.

I wish Willy good, but his daily missives of cut and past lies do get tiresome because his "truths" have no truth within them. They are lies.

Left Soils Their Panties Over Dead Taliban

And forces military officials and others to tow the line which means they should check their bloomers as well.

Rep. Allen West defended the US Marines who were filmed urinating on dead Taliban terrorists today.
The Weekly Standard reported:

“I have sat back and assessed the incident with the video of our Marines urinating on Taliban corpses. I do not recall any self-righteous indignation when our Delta snipers Shugart and Gordon had their bodies dragged through Mogadishu. Neither do I recall media outrage and condemnation of our Blackwater security contractors being killed, their bodies burned, and hung from a bridge in Fallujah.

“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?…

…“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”

Original Sin Makes Representative Democracy Impossible

Really? Yes, if one aspires to be a scientific sociologist within the ranks of our political elite. This elite “knows” that we, the people, are actually incapable of knowing what is best for ourselves nor how to obtain that best. How will they govern this ungovernable rabble?

Their authoritarian progressivism—at odds with the democratic, pluralistic traditions within liberalism—tends to evoke science, however contested, to justify its authority. The progressives themselves are, in Daniel Bell’s telling phrase, “the priests of the machine.” Their views are fairly uniform and can be seen in “progressive legal theory,” which displaces the seeming plain meaning of the Constitution with constructions derived from the perceived needs of a changing political environment. Belief in affirmative action, environmental justice, health-care reform, and redistribution from the middle class to the poor all find foundation there. More important still is a radical environmental agenda fervently committed to the idea that climate change has a human origin—a kind of secular notion of original sin. But these ideas are not widely shared by most people. The clerisy may see in Obama “reason incarnate,” as George Packer of  The New Yorker put it, but the majority of the population remains more concerned about long-term unemployment and a struggling economy than about rising sea levels or the need to maintain racial quotas.

That the Constitution has allowed for 235 years of self governance through “that government of the people, by the people, for the people” is irrelevant to the political elite. So irrelevant that this form of government must “perish from the earth” for the rabble has displayed too many flaws and therefore are too stupid or ignorant to know what is best.

Welcome to the authoritarian progressive world of today. A world that will be ruled by the scientific sociologist elite from their bureaucratic seats of power in academia, government and celebrity politics. That the majority of the people oppose them is merely more proof to them that the people aren’t capable making a right decision. Our original sin is self reliance and that sin begs for authoritarian progressivism. A fancy way of saying that bureaucrats will force you to do that you think wrong.

The phrase “power to the people” has been turned on its head.

NH: Ron Paul

Ron Paul is a moron who lost what he had a long time ago when he may have had it. I smell moth balls.

NH: Con Paul and That Dog Won't Huntsman

Two losers crowing about losing.

The bottom line is that the Chomskyites won't be able to crow victory for their anti-American platform with Ron Paul (actually liberal toads) and the uber-loser Huntsman crowd (actually liberal toads with no balls) can look to further humiliation in other states is now fact.

Romney will win. That's not a total positive.

Where does that leave us? He is a good man. But is he really our candidate?

I don't know. I am afraid even in victory he may not be.

Wisconsin's Mickey Mouse Recall Effort Gets Setback

A judge ruled Thursday that the state Government Accountability Board needs to take more aggressive action to vet recall signatures that are expected to be submitted in two weeks against Gov. Scott Walker and other Republican office holders.


The ruling by Waukesha County Circuit Judge J. Mac Davis came in a case filed Dec. 15 by Walker's campaign committee and Stephan Thompson, executive director of the state Republican Party, asking Davis to order the accountability board to seek out and eliminate duplicate and fictitious signatures and illegible addresses in recall petitions.

There was no comment from Adolf Hitler or any other Nazi connected to the recall effort, but reportedly Minnie said Mickey is a loser.

Ron Paul Can't Win Because He's Not Right In The Head

He's "fooked", not right in the head. Bad candidate. Not a Tea Party choice.

Romney? Dunna know.

Gingrich? Love him, but dunna know.

Santorum? Pick of the litter.

Bachman? Ain't happening no matter how much I like.

Perry? Bubba, you need a new team. You were the high school star who got really bad advice for your college choice. Your team should be prosecuted for being clinically certified morons. You coulda/shoulda been.

Ron Paul? Careful if you count the bats in the belfry. One might be an aunt.

Let the morons of the left be released from the belfry. They can't help themselves. Just look at their diapers. Messy. Very messy. And stinky. As usual.

Oh, the children of Occupy say they are there. Speaking of stinky.

Which Republican Has The Guts To Speak The Truth About Obama And The Democrats

As we enter 2012, the presidential candidates would do well to wrap their minds and messages around these seven mathematical facts:

1. Every day, the U.S. government takes in $6 billion and spends $10 billion.  This means that every day the federal government spends $4 billion more dollars than it has.
2. The real unemployment rate is a jaw-dropping 11 percent.
3. Every fifth man you pass on your way to work is now out of work.
4. College graduates are now 34% less likely to find a job under Obama than they were under President George W. Bush.
5. Every seventh person you pass on the sidewalk now relies on food stamps.
6. The ravages of the Obama economy now mean that more Americans live under the federal poverty line than at any time in U.S. history since records have been kept.
7. Under President Barack Obama, every fifth child in America now lives in poverty.

Fed's Finnish Fisker On Fire

Another $529 M taxpayer dollars spent to prop up foreign workers. US unions must be so proud.

Because of their cold winters the Finnish see the fire hazard in the Fisker as a feature not a bug. Call it Karma.

EEOC Is Newest Fed Agency To Attack US Business

It’s almost as if all of our wonderful federal agencies want America to fail. Just look at the EPA to see a group of unelected bureaucrats enact law outside of the reach of Congress to make failure the only option left to business,

EEOC:High school diploma requirement might violate Americans with Disabilities Act

I propose we cut to the chase and demand that business fail so the bureaucrats can succeed. Being forced to employ the uneducated is probably mere logic to the EEOC. If you look at the EEOC’s total ignorance of the role of government you might begin to understand what they think of as logic. If that’s illogical to you then you’re illogical, a racist and probably don’t blame Bush for enough of your personal problems.

Back to business, let the federal government’s war on success continue.

Trust Baby Troofer To Occupy Rose Bowl Parade

Yep, another failed trust fund baby has their diaper in a twist and is protesting against those that made his daddy very wealthy.

One-percenter professional political activist, 9/11 Truther, and Ivy League-educated former corporate attorney helped ready Octopus float for Rose Parade

Occupy Rose Parade leader has questionable past

Yep, Peter Thottam, whose parents came here for a better life, is a real no-kidding genuine protester. As a protester he has and still wants to work for investment firms, just happened to lose $800,000 in bad trades and has a criminal past. No wonder he isn’t trusted or believed by anybody including his family. He’s just another hypocritical fraud that makes up the “occupy” gaggle of whiners.

It takes some real balls to occupy a parade made of flowers.

Why Some Professors Teach Instead Of Do

Remember when one of our profligate professors informed us of the rise of liberal news (actually he hoped for a resurrection) and the demise of Fox News.

NUMBers: CNN's Second Worst Primetime...

FOXNEWS Dominates Year...

When, oh when, will our wannabe liberal, progressive, socialist loser overlords learn to read before they cut and paste (or out-n-out faux plagiarize) from loser sources from Hell? 

Never.

UPDATE: Read the comments to learn how and why conservatives are stupid and liberals are smart, witty and always right and never ever wrong. According to the professor this is scientific fact and since it is liberal "fact" it is always right and never wrong even when it has been thoroughly debunked as tripe. If you don't know it's the professor that's because he keeps using different names, logs in as "guest" or "anonymous" and masks his IP address because stupid conservatives ban him because we're afraid of his "facts." Yeah.

It's A Woman's Woman's Woman's World

I'd vote for the Panda. Even the Panda with the horse face.

Even though Lil Bobby Reich begs me to vote for the midget's midget's midget's world, I can't. The short bus never worked for me.

Occupy's Poop Palooza Heading To Iowa

Occupy activists meet in Iowa, plan caucus events

The perpetually petulant and always smug Occupy crowd is taking their “give us more” message to Iowa and the Republican caucuses.

No doubt they will be warmly embraced as outsiders who have no place there as well as for their tiresome whining. On the bright side is the fact that they are being bused in from the east and west coast which will diversify Iowa with bad accents and bad fashion.

Who knows, maybe they might take a back to nature job shoveling crap, plucking chickens or Porta-Potty delivery and placement.

Bill Maher Is A Sad Little Man

Bill Maher is one of the most estimable humans on the planet. What he considers funny is probably so only to those as low as he. Yep, Bill ain't funny. He's a hater and he makes a lot of money off his hate. He is too cool to believe in anything better than himself. It shows. What a sad little boy man.

A Child Is Born For Us

Typical Travel Day

Got to the airport before the government told me I had to be there. I had the correct number of articles for carry on and no liquids over the mandated danger point. I was rubbed, patted and x-rayed by TSA protected union agents and found to be not a threat. Got to the gate in the correct government allotted time.

My flight has been cancelled.

UPDATE: The Left's Continued Destruction Of Representative Democracy

Via Camp of the Saints

From Christian Schneider, over at The Corner:
Last week, I pointed out that in the ongoing effort to recall Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, any signature submitted to the state Government Accountability Board would be given the presumption of validity. Furthermore, the Board itself won’t be checking the veracity of signatures — they count until Scott Walker’s campaign challenges them.

This came to a head at a GAB meeting on Tuesday, when election officials admitted names like “Mickey Mouse” and “Adolph Hitler” would count toward the 540,000 signatures needed to force a recall election. That is, unless Walker’s volunteers can enter hundreds of thousands of signatures into a database and challenge the fraudulent ones within the ten-day window. (This, of course, assumes that Adolph Hitler is not actually alive, living in Wisconsin, and supporting the recall Walker effort. If he is, the state has a lot more to worry about than protecting union benefits.)
The Mickey Mouse and Hitler hypotheticals are ridiculous examples meant to demonstrate how screwed up the signature verification process is. But, in fact, it’s much worse than it seems. It’s not easily recognizable names like these that should concern Walker. He needs to worry about the fabricated names that don’t stand out, and therefore will be impossible to challenge in a timely manner.

Say, for instance, you’re an elderly volunteer scanning a list of recall signatures. You see the names “Wyatt Donnelly,” “Freddy Newandyke,” “Frances Buxton,” and “Emil Schuffhausen.”
Those names are, in order: The [y are in] in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. But unless Leonard Maltin is scanning those signature sheets on that day, all those names will count.

Also difficult to find will be the people who signed multiple recall petitions. Under the rules, someone can sign as many times as they want, but only one signature will count. It is then incumbent upon the recall target to sift through hundreds of thousands of signatures and challenge the duplicates. One guy boasted of signing up to 80 petitions — meaning, some campaign volunteer will have to play “find the other 79.”

And this is how the unions will attempt to unseat Gov. Scott Walker…

Personally, I think they should be arrested and charged with sedition. 

Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board Is An Ethical Joke

I guess being in the bag for liberal Democrats isn't enough anymore. Now, bureaucrats have to label the bag with their department name.

Signatures of Hitler, Mickey Mouse acceptable on Scott Walker recall petitions

Appropriately the name on the bag is Mickey Mouse.

An 'Ignorant Wingnut Conspiracy Theorist' And The Conspiracy Of AGW Wingnut Theorist's Ignorance

It appears that I, apparently suffering from a “personality disorder,” am an “ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist.” It’s tough work, but I guess someone has to do it, especially when my so-called “theory” is based on the writings of the very scientists acknowledging that they have concocted the fraud called AGW.

It the mind of an ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist, any level of denial and idiocy is possible.  These are the same people who believe in a magical being that rose from the dead and walked on water, yet are in denial of what our best science and military say is fact.    

How about that?    

If that's not a mental illness, I'd say it's at least a personality disorder.  

Enter another "ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist":

What’sGoing on Behind the Curtain? Climategate 2.0 and Scientific Integrity

Which brings us to Climategate.  Climategate parts one and two are a series of leaked e-mails from arguably the most prominent researchers promoting the idea that humans are causing catastrophic global warming. The e-mails show the scientists involved to be violating their professional ethics with the result that climate science in particular and science as an institution more generally is brought into question. 

The first group of e-mails released in 2009 showed scientists attempting to suppress or alter inconvenient data, destroying raw data so that others would be unable to analyze it, using tricks to change reported outcomes, conspiring to avoid legally required disclosure of taxpayer-funded data, and trying to suppress dissent by undermining the peer review process.  On the latter point the researchers involved threatened to boycott and get editors fired at journals publishing findings questioning the urgency of the climate crisis. 

Climategate 2 is a second release of e-mails, in November 2011, from the same cabal of scientists exposed in Climategate 1.  There is little new to the revelations—just more hiding data, trying to figure out how to downplay dissent or have papers that would seem to undermine one part or another of anthropogenic global warming theory ignored or discredited. 

To be clear, these e-mails do not disprove that humans are causing potentially catastrophic global warming. Whether or not humans are or are not, in fact, causing or contributing to dangerous climate change, the only thing clear that emerges from the Climategate e-mails is that the scientists claiming that “the science is settled” and that there is “consensus” among scientists that humankind are acting as planet killers, can’t be trusted, nor can their research be pointed to as solid proof of anthropogenic global warming. 

…

The term skeptic has historically been a badge of honor proudly worn by scientists as indicating their commitment to the idea that in the pursuit of truth, nothing is beyond question, every bit of knowledge is open to improvement and/or refutation as new evidence or better theories emerge.  However, in the topsy-turvy field of climate science, “skeptic” is a term of opprobrium and to be labeled a skeptic is akin to being a heretic in the Middle Ages – you may not be literally burned at the stake, but your reputation will be put to flames.  

The Climategate scientists continue to claim that the actions disclosed are not bad as they seem and that nothing contained in the e-mails is really important. But this is like the Wizard of Oz saying “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain,” when in fact the real action is going on behind the curtain. 

Of course, this “ignorant wingnut conspiracy theorist” is Dr. H. Sterling Burnett who specializes in Environmental Ethics. As such Dr. Burnett must be suffering from a personality disorder to demand the employment of ethics in science.

I wonder, if Dr. Burnett does not exhibit such hatred as the commenter quoted above exhibits to ideas such as a belief in God, will he be stripped of his title and expelled from science all together?  As political correctness is bureaucratic herding by its very nature Emerson's quote, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" comes to mind since it is foolishly consistent.
