How is the software going, you ask?

Lousy, I quit, I had two or three nightmares trying to manage some command line in my dreams.  That is why I am taking a break, that stuff is bad for the brain.  Someone else take up the charge for a while, when I am back I will see what is up in the software warehouses.

We are done with dufas

Ties between Japan and South Korea -- two of the U.S.’s closest security partners -- have arguably turned their most hostile in more than half a century over a series of diplomatic disputes. Now, there are signs that the feud, fueled by disagreements over Japan’s colonization of the Korean Peninsula decades ago, is beginning to damage economic and military relations between the neighbors.During previous nationalistic flare-ups, U.S. administrations normally intervened to make sure such grudges don’t spin out of control. Not any more.“There’s no leadership from above in the U.S. administration to act in the way we have in the past,” said Daniel Sneider, a lecturer in international policy at Stanford University and author of books on Northeast Asian relations. “At moments like this, it’s been the role of the U.S. to sometimes quietly step in and help to restore communication and sometimes to find solutions.”

Trump is right, it is not our business.

Now, cue the dufas Republicans who think country bumpkin cattle ranchers are the world's answer to dufas, no, they are just more dufas.

The USA is done with dufas, be all the dufas you can be out there, we don't care.  Be a California dufas, a New York dufas, a South Korean dufas, it is your evolutionary path, take it.

What about California and the Keynesian cycle

California will not be joining the Atlantic Keynes cycle, likely we will have our own.  Texas is definitely opting out this time.

We can't afford it, we will have a difficult enough time out here with the down turn, the last thing we need is to sit out and wait for New Jersey and new York, and we have already written off Chicago.

We are done, we are pooped.  New jersey is on its own. 

But wait, you say, didn't Bernanke bend the currency quite a bit to get Jerry Brown out of hock? He sure did, and we have doubled our poor as a result.  We don't care.  The dependencies are gone, the net tax take that the east grabs from California is smaller now due to the tax partition of 2011.  We don't owe New York or buy anything from New York.  Illinois is not our hub, that is  new York problem.   And certainly we do not want eight more years of Keynesians yapping, that is the worst nightmare.

An easy record for Gavin to beat

California owes more than it owns.

California has a -$22,000 Taxpayer Burden.™

California is a Sinkhole State without enough assets to cover its debt.

Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of state bills after its available assets have been tapped.

TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt.

California only has $100.1 billion of assets available to pay bills totaling $369.9 billion.

Because California doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a $269.9 billion financial hole. To fill it, each California taxpayer would have to send $22,000 to the state.

California's reported net position is inflated by $16.7 billion, largely because the state defers recognizing losses incurred when the net pension liability increases.

Despite a recently implemented accounting standard meant to increase transparency, California still excludes $5.4 billion of pension debt from its balance sheet. In addition, the state is still hiding $58.4 billion of its retiree health care debt. A new accounting standard will be implemented in the 2018 fiscal year which will require states to report this debt on the balance sheet.

The state's financial report was released 264 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered untimely according to the 180 day standard

Gavin will take us to bankruptcy, likely this keynesian cycle. A bunch of that 22,000 per person comes due in the next four years, we will have pension stampede. We will see the usual fraud in the Swamp, ten year rates will rise to 3.25%, housing will crash and California cities will do their keynesian layoff cycle.

She has already screwed the poor

'2020 class warfare?': Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the left face off against billionaires in a fight to tax the rich

This is the great tragedy, she and Liz have already made a ton of promises to the rich in order to get approval for their current round of government goodies.  She is engaging in step two of a fraud, she has to extract payment from the rich to restore restore the Treasury funds that go missing.

Liz is doing that same crap, as is Krugam.  They have already taken from the poor and given to the rich, they do this to save their pensions, they do this to give poor people some shitty, tiny program.  Now they are trying to do crawl back before they are all exposed by Howard for the fraudulant two step swindle.

Even if Howard turns into Republican dumb shit, we still can point at this trio of bums, point out the same group did the same thing the last time around, until Obama stopped them.  They tried the same shit under Clinton, but he reversed engineered the fraud, in fact, it was Clinton that tipped off Obama about the fraudsters. They are, fundamentally, the corrupt least coast liberal elite, the same folks who carpet bomb rice farmers.


Republicans cannot help, this is goes back to the 70s, these people will be evolved out, Krugam evolved out of economics, poor people who liz has screwed end up in the streets.  This is the Oliver Blanchard fraud, the Samuelson fraud, the MIT fraud.

The best outcome here is a government shutdown while we rethink this.  Do we really want to go back to this same fraud over and over?  If we can shut these people down, cancel the agreements the made, and start over would be nice.  Start over with one simple rule, no more Keynesian cycles, they cause Venezuelas.

I am offended

Lil Abnor:

Sadie Hawkins Day

Sadie Hawkins Day is a day which started out as a made-up holiday but ended up turning into an American folk event. An event which is celebrated annually on November 15th, although in some places it is celebrated on other days. On this day, it is traditionally for women to ask men out on a date or to ask them to go to a Sadie Hawkins Dance. The purpose of this day is to empower women to take control of their lives.

 That would be me, official Redneck Kentuck Mountain kid.  Do I get a government check? There must be a government check in here for me.

Mammy time

How stupid is the media?

M

anichaean Cold War myopia and ludicrous Russiagate allegations have produced one of the worst periods of American “geopolitical” thinking in recent decades. Consider President Trump’s recently announced withdrawals of US forces from Syria and Afghanistan. Instead of applauding these long-overdue steps, the bipartisan US political-media establishment has denounced them as “Trump’s gifts to Putin.”

Author makes the astute point about Putin, he is my ally in the fight against islamic terror.

The media, in this case, is just spouting the Bush line, not the American line, and they make a serious mistake.  Bush is not America, far from is.  Bushies are blunders forever, an American disaster.

Putin is much closer to the American line, most Americans are not engaged in arms for oil and supporting terrorism, like our American elite. Most Americans agree with Putin, stop supporting terrorism.

Trump wants his government goodies

Trump to decry 'decades of political stalemate' in State of the Union

He is just like Krugman, at a moment's notice he will trade away the store for some pathetic, worthless government goodie. We are fucked either way unless Howard gets a clue.   Howard has yet to demonstrate any brains in the matter.

Which party has the worst welfare bums?

Pence To Warn About Dems' "Socialist Pivot" During Policy Speech In South Florida

As opposed to Treasury secretary pumping the market, Trump,manipulating the Fed, Jared trading hotels for trillion dollar defense committments. Farms subsidies. Which party is worse. Bushies getting bailout in Texas, trading with the enemy, using inside information for defense investments and treading with Bin Laden while we were bombed.

We checked, Pence, almost all of Trumps staff made their money betting on stupid, and transparent, federal law that opened a special arbitrage moment.  Your, Pence, are part of the worst set of Republicans, well second worst if we include Bushies.

• Who ran up the deficit, crashed the economy? Republican
• Who started the trillion dollar deficits in 1980? Republican
• Who reduced budget and ran a surplus? Dems
• Elected an Alzheimer's president? Repub
• Fasted deficit reduction in history? Dems
• Gives guns to the mentally ill? Repub, Rick Scott
• Blew trilliuon in useless weapons? Reagan.

This is the point where we determine if Howard has brain one, watch how he responds, we can spot a welfare bum immediately we are good at it. The thing is, Pence is clueless, he has no clue that he is setting himself up for a devastating counter from Howard.  Dems cannot attack on this grounds, the best Dems can do is justify Republican welfarism.

Pence is an idiot, call him out, that man cannot debate a squirrel.  Now, Howard, now, before you lose the moment. If you don't call this nutcase out, now, kiss you election good by. If you hesitate, if you wonder, "what will my republican pals think", I will know it, I will condemn you for the fool you are.

Now this is where Howard steps in, it his his choice. He can either accept republican welfarism as it, to speak out against it. It is Howard's moment, become president or betray himself as yet another Republic welfare bum.

Pence in thiscase, is an idiot, that man never showed much brains at any time that I have seen.
