If you
watched NBC’s anchor Lester Holt on Saturday evening’s news, he reported that
Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, features a “food pantry” for
students who cannot afford to feed themselves while attending college. Further into the report, Holt announced that
50 colleges across the United States feature “food pantries” that give donated
food stuffs out to destitute college students barely able to make their way
through college.
The whole
report sickened me. NBC’s Brian Williams
last week reported that this month is the 10 year anniversary of invading Iraq
with “Shock and Awe” from former President George W. Bush. We suffered 4,750 dead young men and women,
32,000 hideously wounded and $2 trillion in expenditures. Brian also announced that no “Weapons of Mass
Destruction” existed in Iraq. We also
killed over 150,000 Iraqi citizens.
As I sat
there in my chair watching the news, I felt an overwhelming disgusting feeling
that a band of 535 lunatics and one lunatic former president and the present incompetent
president lack any ability to deal with reality and create solutions that solve
American’s problems.
No one in his
right mind would invade a sandbox country run by an idiot dictator over 10,000
miles away. Iraq posed no threat whatsoever to our country.
Yet, we feed
47.7 million Americans with food stamps because those individuals cannot find a
job or are too illiterate to hold a job.
We suffer 14 million unemployed Americans looking for work. Our
infrastructure and bridges crumble right before our eyes. We stand eye-ball deep in $16.5 trillion in
debt. Our educational systems spit out
functionally illiterate and welfare-dependent kids by the hundreds of thousands
every year.
A mind-numbing 13.4 million American children live
below the poverty level in conditions that sicken any middle-American. Some one million Americans remain homeless
night after night in the city streets of America.
One in six Americans face hunger. www.feedingAmerica.org
“In many ways, America is the land of
plenty. But for 1 in 6 people in the United States, hunger is a reality. Many
people believe that the problems associated with hunger are confined to small
pockets of society, certain areas of the country, or certain neighborhoods, but
the reality is much different. Right now, millions of Americans are struggling
with hunger.
These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors
who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several
meals, or even days.”
Yet, our
Congress just gave Egypt $250 million dollars in aid this month. We send billions of dollars that we borrow
from other countries to give to dozens of countries around the world in foreign
aid. Yet, our own country rides on the
thin margins of pretention.
That same
Congress imports 100,000 legal, unskilled, undereducated, welfare-prone, food
stamp and assisted housing recipients every 30 days into America. Those same immigrants along with illegals
cost American taxpayers $346 billion annually across 15 federal agencies.

It’s so beyond
the realm of stupidity that it morphs into the realm of insanity—but Congress
carries out this level of insanity as a normal method of day to day business.
We flounder
at saving ourselves on the margins of our national debt by waiting until the
last minute to pass a bill to raise the debt ceiling. Yet, we never solve the debt problem at the
cause. We continue with endless wars
that cost us trillions of dollars, but we march right into new wars that
provide no security or freedom—but plenty of death and debt. Our children suffer with educational systems
bankrupting, but we add more to our military budgets where we must train poorly
educated citizen soldiers.
We stagger
into the future without a plan. Specifically, President Barack Obama staggers
forward without a plan and our Congress waltzes into the financial and social
abyss with him.
The American
people become victims of our leaders’ incompetence, their corruption and their
outright greed. For those 535 Congress
critters to continue their pretenses of leading this country, it’s appalling
that they can sleep at night knowing they fail us and fail us utterly.
One reader
said, “Your latest article regarding immigration expresses what
I've been saying for years. Neither Bush nor Obama care about securing the
borders. All the talk about creating jobs is smoke and mirrors and rhetoric. Congress is still allowing 100,000 people to
come here legally each month. How can we possibly put Americans to work at this
rate? Looking at the whole picture, I
firmly believe our country is finished, and it's not going to return to what it
was when we were younger. We will not out-vote those whose gave Obama a second
term. He is bent on destroying our way of life, and succeeding. Morality and a
belief in our Creator have been severely weakened. The U.S.A. is controlled by a despotic
president, and parasites in Congress.”

2 Comments in Response to Disturbing realities across America: living at the margins
By their nature corporations and companies never pay any tax. A business may look like it is paying a tax, but it is the customers who pay the tax when they purchase a product or service. By the nature of a business, they are there to make money. They pass ALL expenses - even taxation expenses - on to the customer in the purchase price.
The point is taxation by the Federal Government at all! The income tax may be technically legal. It may be based on operations that the Government is allowed to carry out. It may be based on the quasi-contract you made with Social Security when you took the Number. But the form of the income tax is against the spirit of the Constitution.
As long as people continue to allow themselves to remain ignorant about the wool that Government and the banks are pulling over their eyes, people are going to be terrorized by Government and the banks into paying the income tax, rather than forcing Government to dissolve the banking system.
Money makes for easier trading. Electronic currencies make for more private trade that is not vandalized by wrongful Government taxation as easily. Bitcoin, one of the newbie electronic currencies - and maybe the best of them all - is now being attacked along with the rest of the ecurrencies, by Government.
See http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/130985-2013-03-24-a-libertarian-nightmare-bitcoin-meets-big-government.htm.
Government is starting to see the threat to their very life. And like everyone else they don't want to die. They want to keep on with taxation so that they can live high on the hog using OUR LABOR.
Start studying Bitcoin and the other ecurrencies. Start getting friends interested in them. If you have friends that are computer programming literate, get them to start studying Internet encryption and TOR (The Onion Router), and the other encrypted networks.
If we, the people of America, along with the little people of the world, don't free ourselves by every means available, the Mafia of the world Governments will continually tighten their stranglehold on us until we are drained dry of every penny we have... and our life-blood right along with it all.
The money we spend on foreign aid is a drop in the bucket. The real problem is corporate welfare. I saw a detailed article about how the top 65 corporations either pay no tax or pay about 8%. Compare that to individual taxpayers who pay 20-25% in federal income tax, not counting all the state taxes we also pay.
Corporations now control Congress and the laws it passes. The Supreme Court is top heavy with corporate-leaning Republicans. If we want real change, then I'm afraid we'll need real action.
