plan 3

Honestly, does anyone truly believe the government has our best interests at heart?  Are any of the countless laws passed by congress designed to benefit anyone other than the guy who wrote the bill?  They keep doing it, we keep letting them, and things keep getting worse.

Unemployment is high because the easiest way for any company to cut costs is to reduce labor and shift the workload to the remaining workers.  When business improves, companies are reluctant to hire more workers because labor reduction worked so well to improve their bottom line.  The result is a lean, mean, multi-tasking work force that can barely get the job done with little or no increase in pay.

Major corporations, as well as state and local governments, balance their budgets and when they can't they get rid of labor to make ends meet.  Cutting the police force and fire departments are common practices when the economy goes south, regardless if the crime rate goes up.  The budget always comes first, that is, if you want to stay in business.

So how come this federal government is still in business with deficits in the trillions?  Who's regulating the regulators?  What, are these guys too big to fail?  And these stupid ideas they have to balance the budget insults everyone's intelligence.  Increasing taxes won't do anything.  They can increase everyone's tax rate to 100% and the deficit will still be the same.  Spending cuts might help, providing you cut all those worthless departments the government wants to keep.  Like, THAT'S gonna happen.

How about an across the board reduction in the federal workforce?  They can reduce the workforce by 50% and still keep their departments intact.  Congress can take a few pay cuts, too.  Put them on furlough at a pay scale equal to their average constituent's income until the deficit hits zero.  Maybe lay off 20% of both houses of congress and shift the workload to the ones who still have a job.  If it works for business and small governments, it can work for the federal government.

But that multi-trillion dollar deficit...  That's gonna take more than a few cuts to eradicate.  What would you do if you made 20k a year and owed a million dollars?  Get a second job?  Turn off the lights when you leave a room?  Cut back the heat and wear a sweater?  No, it'll take more than that.

There's one of three things you can do...

1. Declare bankruptcy.
2. Die.
3. Kill the guy you owe that million to.

As complicated as world economics seems to be, it all comes down to the US federal government, as well as every debtor nation on Earth, owing their resources, their treasuries, and their futures to a small handful of guys who benefit from misery and profit from wars, who like this system of control and plan to keep it this way until they own everything.
What's more, they don't care about you, at all, at all, AT ALL!  They'll kill you by the millions and chalk it up as collateral damage, as long as they get what they want. 

Am I missing something or does plan three make the most sense?  Anyone?
