(Common sense, politically incorrect newsletter to 12,418 subscribers) *U.S. GOVERNMENT NOT TOO BIG TO FAIL* *ECONOMICS 101 -- (U.S.A. CAN'T SAVE THE WORLD)* The Tampa Tribune Letter to Editor Published: March 30, 2009 When (oh when!) will the people and government of the United States learn the basic facts of personal and national economic life? Fact One, not everybody in a society, a nation, can be rich. If there were no people who needed to work to earn money, no one would make any products or perform any services. If we were all rich, we would all be poor. Would you want your garbage man or your auto mechanic to be so wealthy he didn't need to work? Fact Two, pyramid schemes always collapse, and the frantic investing in real estate and "flipping your way to wealth" of the recent past is simply a pyramid scheme. Fact Three, you can't painlessly and magically "spend" your way out of a recession/depression. You have to work, scrimp, save and earn your way out of it. Fact Four, the current "stimulus" packages are simply the creation of fake, bogus money unbacked by any real worth or value. All they will do is create massive debt and massive inflation that will bankrupt people who live on fixed incomes, as most retirees do. Welcome to the economic ghetto, all you golden-agers who voted for "change", you're going to get it! Fact Five, the United States has only about four percent of the world's population and about four percent of its livable land area. We cannot support the rest of the world with foreign aid. We can't afford it. We can't save the world singlehandedly; we're too small. Fact Six, not everyone on this planet who is unhappy in their home country automatically has the right to come live in the U.S. and be supported by American taxpayers. We are not being mean-spirited if we refuse to be guilt-tripped into giving away our country. If we don't control our borders, we are doomed. Fact Seven, we cannot be the world's military policeman. Again, we just aren't big enough. Fact Eight, illegal drugs are destroying our nation economically as well as physically and morally. We need to find the courage to impose strong, draconian -- even capital -- punishment on anyone who passes illegal substances to another person. Fact Nine, we can't let an ever-growing percentage of our population live on welfare, live on the work of others. Except in the case of people who are totally incapacitated, we have to have the "tough love" to say "those who don't work, don't eat," and it's their problem, not "society's". All of this is simply "Economics 101" for today's world. If we don't wake up and learn it quickly, we won't have a country much longer. And we won't deserve to. --HUGH WILLIAMSON, Apollo Beach, Florida --------------------------------------------------------------- For free Politically Incorrect news ignored by the American news media, send your friends' email addresses for REAL NEWS from [email protected]<http://us.mc553.mail.yahoo.com/mc/[email protected]> . ------------------------------ ** *NEW* RichsRants is a parallel list to the Slick eZine *http://RR.jiglu.com/+register* <http://rr.jiglu.com/+register> * * *http://Politicalhumor.jiglu.com/+register*<http://politicalhumor.jiglu.com/+register> * * This is new.
