Put another way, the profligate scum in Washington spend almost four thousand dollars each and every year per man, woman and child of money they don’t have and can’t raise by taxes in order to keep themselves in office and pay themselves and their cronies.

When the collapse or revolution comes it will not be pretty. It is getting less likely to be peaceful, the longer they keep digging their hole.
But they know that…..that’s why they bought over a billion rounds of hollow-point.

off-topic:
We are hearing a little of the aftermath of the recent London fire.
The high-rise apartment building was local government owned and run.(The equivalent of section 8 housing in the U.S.)
There was no sprinkler system in the building, despite the fact that the UK building code for several decades has had a stipulation that all buildings over 30 metres tall must have sprinklers; including retrofitting if necessary.
Of course, the Government, national and most local, exempt themselves from laws that the private sector has to obey.
Yet another classical example of the incompetence of government.

Powerball To Dump Illinois Over “Lack Of Budget”

As if Illinois didn’t have enough to worry about between an imminent downgrade to junk (as soon as July 1), soaring debt costs, insolvent pension funds, and roads that may soon resemble the lunar surface, today in the latest insult to a relentless series of injuries, the lottery itself is about to dump Illinois.

Putin Offers Asylum To “Leaker” Comey

“It looks weird when the chief of a security agency records his conversation with the commander-in-chief and then hands it over to media via his friend,” Putin was quoted by Russia’s Tass. “This is strange. How then is the director of the FBI any different from Snowden?”

Gold and silver in their usual Thursday after the fed bs………….

Really enjoy Vic’s experienced perspective.

Vic Sperandeo mentioned the 95 million “Not In The Labor Force”. Most of them are not looking for work because they do not want a job. And why do they not want a job? Because many of them are retired, or they attend high school or college, or they stay at home to take care of a family, or they are either permanently or temporarily disabled or have an illness. Many of them are not unemployed workers who have not had a job in a year and are no longer looking for a job as Vic Sperandeo and others mistakenly think.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/btn/volume-4/people-who-are-not-in-the-labor-force-why-arent-they-working.htm

And many people that are “Not In The Labor Force” have never been counted as being unemployed in the past nor should they be counted as being unemployed today when calculating the unemployment rate. David Stockman however makes this mistake. He says that the unemployment rate is 42% because he wrongly counts retired persons, school students etc… as being unemployed.

Also the U-3 unemployment rate of 4.3% and the U-6 unemployment rate of 8.4% are correct according to John Williams of ShadowStats. The U-6 unemployment rate, which is the broadest measure of unemployment, includes all unemployed people who are in the labor force. However what the U-6 number does not include are those people who are long-term discouraged workers. These are people who have not worked in a year and are no longer looking but would like a job. They are not included in the labor force even though they should be since short-term discouraged workers are included. Instead long-term discouraged workers are included in the “Not In The Labor Force” category which includes retired persons as well as school students, housewives and disabled persons.

So really the only thing that seems to be debatable is how many of the 95 million “Not In The Labor Force” are really unemployed persons. This number is at least 5 million, who according to the BLS, say they want a job.

So even just using the government’s numbers the unemployment rate is at least 12%. However John Williams says the current unemployment rate is 22% which is based on the U-6 unemployment rate plus his estimate of long-term discouraged workers.

The Rising Movement Against Soros

In Hungary, NGOs (non-governmental organizations) will have to be registered in court and their foreign donors will be disclosed.

There are a lot of people up in arms over this. But there is a serious problem of organization such as that of George Soros trying to fund revolutions and government subversion movements. There have been foreign fundings of civil unrest in the United States against Trump. Obama funded activists in Canada to overthrow the conservatives. Clinton help Tony Blair and the Labour Party beat John Major, and we certainly cannot forget all the screaming about Russian interference in the 2016 election that defeated Hillary.
