republican voter lament

*

Ten percent ( or any reasonable number you chose ) of the US adult population do not care to work and are content to live on hand-outs; so goes the typical republican voter lament. The unspoken supposed result of that lament is; that same small group of homeless and indigent are so well organized and effective that they have coerced the reciprocal ninety percent of voters to enact the “Welfare State.”

Obviously, liberals use every excuse to grow government, however, the majority of registered liberal voters have jobs – many in the blotted Federal, State, local, and quasi ( schools, utilities … etc )government agencies. The liberal religion ( collectivist devotion to government ) remains faithful to their failed 40 year “war on poverty” to continue using that farce as cover for their assault on liberty.

Business persons ( liberal and conservative ) receive the majority of funds ( taxes and debt obligation ) through government payouts. “Welfare” is typically not cash to the qualified, rather government expense is for facilities, supplies, services, employees … etc. The current Trillions in bailouts and stimulus are NOT going to the lower-class, those without good jobs. Many so called “private” companies depend on direct or tangential government contracts.

Elites use such illogical distractions ( lazy people control US ) to occupy the minds of republicans and provide them talking points during their high-five conversations with others so indoctrinated. More than complaining will be necessary next year ( 2010 ) if the course of the US is to be corrected.

Betrayal by our elected “representatives” has deteriorated into fascism.

liberal delusion

 *

Liberals’ complaint (not legitimate challenge) is not that the content of CBM (my book) is not true; their problem is that they don’t LIKE it. No one endorses an author who exposes their inability to honestly recognize reality; liberals’ dysfunctional refusal to accept that government does not have the correct solution for activity not authorized in the US Constitution.

The book has been validated by numerous industry professionals. Not one challenge has been made regarding CONSTRUCTION BUDGET MANAGEMENT’s (CBM) content. Don’t judge the book by its title. Unlike many books and articles that criticize blotted government with a broad brush; CBM takes the NEXT STEP and provides detailed solutions to specific problems.

Americans’ tolerate official court decisions, even when we don’t agree, because they are rare (minuscule percent of all decisions) and perceived to be even-handed (justice is blind). Also, if a court makes a mistake there is an appeal process.

One significant problem with government contracting is that administrative decisions become quasi-judicial, in that, public agencies “rules” are treated as law by agency administrators. Some contracting officials consider their opinion as law.

A few weeks ago, I met a (name and location on-file) retired Federal Government “Contract Specialist” (his description) who said he believes that; “all contractors are crooks.” That man said he had spent his career opposing unwarranted payment to private contractors. I pressed him, and he reiterated, “all contractors.” Our conversation became heated, so we shock hands and walked away.

Of course, I pointed out to him that there are millions of contractors that he had not met; however, he was not deterred from his position, “all contractors are crooks.” That attitude is common (PC liberals) among Federal, State, and local government employees. The state-media reinforces that belief to the general public.

One of the major topics within CBM debunks that myth. Obviously, “all” members of a group, especially one as large and diverse as contractors, are not identical. His prejudice is not unusual for a government employee. Liberal agencies personnel FEEL better, and that attitude allows them to be more aggressive, when dealing with the public.

CBM provides a philosophy of partnership, and practical “how-to” solutions on the administration of contracts, construction or otherwise. The stories in the book explain, with examples, why government must be restrained in size if possession of private property is to be protected.

In addition to many positive reviews of CBM by architects, engineers, contractors, facility owner representatives … etc.; one of my favorites was a dentist comment. He was an elected school board member, and he said, prior to reading CBM he abstained from active participation in building project discussions; after studying CBM he now leads those meetings.

CalPoly Pomona entertained accepting CBM as the author’s PhD thesis, until they determined that the author has too much testosterone for their program. K-12 school construction administrators go apoplectic, thereby confirming relevance.

CBM contends that, in public contracting (not only building) the selection process should be, following conservative principals, as objective as possible. Making the decision events transparent, and thereby minimize the temptation for abuse and corruption.

An on-line perusal of the CBM web-page, including book reviewers, will reveal that CBM is the best text to prepare people to manage public works projects. As an example, when the author was consulting for the University of California, he initiated a new project delay calculation into UC building contracts. That single suggestion has saved the UC system ten-of-millions of dollars over the past seventeen years.

Notes: People who actually know the author, and witnessed my experience over the years, have confirmed the auto-biographical content and my contributions.

Book reviewers, and additional industry professionals, have validated the technical content.

Elites are categorized and exposed specifically in my previous TownHall posts.

government medicine

 *

Baby-boomers (BBs) have betrayed younger citizens by perpetuating “Social Security” after that system was exposed (1970s) as a ponzi-scheme. As the unconscionable amount of Federal Government debt accumulates and failed social programs debilitate the economy, younger citizens will consider (unofficially) retaliation through the health care apparatus as justified.

After genX and Y individuals watch (most are oblivious now) as a larger and larger portion of their income is siphoned-off (paycheck with-holding of producers) and squandered on counter-productive unconstitutional social programs, not to mention waste and fraud, they will eventually want revenge.

Liberty lackadaisical BB seniors got their retirement based on the spoils of the Greatest Generation’s amazing post WWII economy. They felt they earned it, and they took it!

However, BBs failed to be vigilant (as the Founders warned) politically, they were too busy enjoying their benefits, and were distracted by the liberal opposition industry (my previous TownHall post). Thomas Jefferson encouraged the “wards” concept; what percentage of citizens has ever attended a City/County or School Board meeting?

“Take Two Aspirin and Call Me When Your Cancer is At Stage Four. All the problems with the American health care system come from government intervention, so naturally the Democrats' idea for fixing it is more government intervention.”  [Ann Coulter / TownHall.com - Thursday, July 23 2009]

Excuse me for being redundant, however, liberals try to make everything seem complicated. Clarity is the conservative ally. Over time, government NEVER does a better job (the military – I am a proud vet – costs allot) than an open market. Affective over-sight, imposing minimum controls, on private enterprise is the solution to health care (and other program) reform for citizens, on the individual State level.

Just a few thoughts:

One – tort reform (most doctors support) set maximum awards / category

Two – provide voucher for qualified “poor” to purchase private insurance

Three – mandate that approved health service providers make available a statute defined deductable emergency coverage for otherwise healthy adults; and separately for families

Four – KISS discussion

The US economy has surpassed “taxation saturation”, meaning; the equilibrium point between private sector production and government confiscation has been exceeded. Killing the goose (for dinner) that lays the golden eggs is counter-productive in the long-run. Entrepreneurial activity must be protected and encouraged so as to provide the tax base to fund government.

ancient treachery

*

 

A few days ago, I got a preview of the new civilian enforcement agency promised during the campaign. A brand new full-size (not hybrid) SUV, complete with custom paint-job and special roof-top lighting (estimated cost $50K), labeled “Home Land Security” was being driven from an automobile dealer in Oceanside. The driver was a large “minority” man.

 

The new “spread-the-wealth” policy may be resisted, therefore, a non-compliance service will be required. Local police and sheriffs are too connected to the community (as they should be) through locally elected officials to be affective in this unpopular effort.

 

As we know from current Supreme Court candidate hearings, and at least one administration appointment policy statement, sympathy with certain ethnic groups is preferred. Those with little formal education or work-place achievement should by employed in higher paid positions.

 

As reported as a constant drone in the state-media, many (citizens or not) are less than satisfied with their position (after 30 years + trillions of dollars) in the US of America. In their opinion, their status is the result of exploitation by elites; they are correct.

 

Recruiting the “disadvantaged” into a national (relocated geographically) department with higher pay will ensure obedience regardless of the constitutionality of the orders given. “Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely (or disingenuous) exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.” / C. S. Lewis.

 

Betrayal by “representatives” dates back to pre-biblical times; documented by Greek philosophers and playwrights’. “Those who don’t study history are destined to repeat it (unknown).” Government power, as opposed to commercial power, is different because physical enforcement is by the fire-armed police; directed and protected by “the law.”

conservative solution

 *

 

Liberals (Jimmy Carter and Congress) drove me out of business with 22% interest rates; again the liberals (Barney Frank … et al.) have driven me out of business. As a construction worker, we usually get hit first in a down-tern of the economy.

 

I predicted euphemistically (last year), we are going to experience Carter’s second term (he did 4 years); I was wrong. The current excesses in liberal borrowing will result in an extended “W” recession, being much worse than Carter. When the private-sector naturally tries to rebound, higher interest rates will drag business activity back down; government borrowing will crowd-out business from credit markets.

 

The best stimulus would have been (now - high debt may preclude this option) a Federal income tax holiday for one year. That action would have been immediate and needed no administration. Whatever individuals citizens did with THEIR money would jump-start the economy. This was not an option for liberals because; cool-aid drinkers would protest the end of the tax holiday.

 

The current non-sense being perpetrated on the public is NOT new. History, going back several thousand (not hundreds) of years, is replete with conicals of elites manipulating the people. Many divide and exploit “issues” are used (see the shinny object in my other hand) to distract the commoners. Government is inherently oppressive, therefore, controlling the size in paramount.

 

Our “representatives” have betrayed US, and the state-media is complicit. A prime example is the open southern border and dysfunctional anchor-baby policy. Iran has elections, to create the delusion that citizens (read you) have an influence.

 

To circumvent the minutiae, let’s ENFORCE a strict hiring FREEZE (Military exempt / expressly in Constitution) on the Federal government, including contract employees. Routine attrition will automatically reduce the size and cost; no person even need be terminated (poor dears’ feelings in tact). Excess facilities, as they are vacated, can be auctioned off to reduce the debt. Retraining (as they tell us) and paid relocation of existing personal can fill ANY “critical” positions.

 

In addition, REVERSE recent bail-outs and stimulus spending; the banking system being unique. Future proposed Federal spending on pork and pet projects MUST be made public (in writing) six months prior to the first vote in the House. The Congressional-persons can argue and campaign on how they will allocate the funds available.

 

Third, to deal with third-rail topics like Social Security, a large CPA firm is hired to audit (at macro-level) the Federal Reserve, unfunded liabilities, and ALL other conceivable DEBT of the Federal government. Then, much like the base closing program, that same FIRM makes up-or-down recommendations on how to actuarially manage the various obligations in a fiduciary responsible manor.

 

Eventually, during the recuperative period, we consider our options.

difficult argument

 *

 Conservatives are disadvantaged in a disagreement with liberals, because the conservative (not RINO) is typically truthful and polite, the antithesis of liberal talking-points. As we have learned, bi-partisan means; the conservative caves.

 State media (formally = lame-stream media) is manipulated by government officials by giving interview access to those who they know are in favor of the officials’ policy. “Real reporters”, known to be objective and therefore likely to ask a question difficult to put a positive spin on, are punished by exclusion.

 Elite sociopath “representatives” speak (especially one with a little whistle) in riddles now days, about subjects which have not only been debated at infinitum, but also, experimentally proven over time. White men (supported by white women) built Western Civilization and they are now persona-non-grata in America.

 Government over-sight and regulation has obviously failed. Worse yet, officials are complaisant in the melt-down. We have been betrayed; by the false sense that government rules, not impartially imposed, are capable of sustaining stable markets and consistently provide fiscal reliability. Minimum constitutional government is the answer.

 Most adults with hungry children are EASY to control.

un-common since

 

*

“Common-sense” is NOT ubiquitous; not generic or the opinion of the average person. The natural meaning of a situation is anti-elite because the truth is not twisted to promote an agenda contrary to regular folks principals.

An old man (appearing to be alert) at an informal discussion group, at a coffee shop I occasionally patronize says; he was present personally during the last few years of Hitler’s rein in Germany. When I attempted to engage (May 2009) him in a conversation about current government controls on banking and commerce, he refused.

Liberals are not hypocrites. Their double-standard behavior, conservative versus liberal, has been established in fact by empirical evidence. However, you must have principals to be hypocritical.

Conservatives have learned to expect personal adhominem attacks from liberals. I value my detractors, many years were expended to cultivate my enemies and I don’t want to start over.

PC acolytes are hostile with those who disagree; because their dysfunctional destructive co-dependent relationship with sociopathic PC elites creates a break with reality, verifiable with factual empirical evidence.

Hereby coin new word: Neohyplib = new-hypocritical-liberal; is a progressive who exploits lame-stream media double standard to advance their elites’ destructive agenda.

sustainable enterprise

 

*

 

Is entrepreneurial capitalistic “free enterprise” sustainable? Or, has the (233 year) experiment in individual property rights come to a failed conclusion? Is the human race returning (evolving) to a natural state, in which everyone is subservient to the state, totalitarianism?

 

As quoted in the magazine, “Land Development Today” (January 2009 - page 14); “Many readers continue to have the same misunderstanding of sustainability that is held by the general public. Too many still equate the word “sustainable” with “environment”. Lingensjo’s response is; political and economic topics should be included when evaluating environmental issues. Much, much more is at stake than pristine air, clean water and soil erosion.

 

Citizens’ personal and real estate property ownership; including use, distribution control, compensation for transfer, and relief from confiscatory taxes, must be recaptured from an ever expanding government if modern civilization is to be sustained. Prosperity for a large (as percentage) middle-class must be present for liberty to function as we have experienced.

 

Maintaining private property rights (previously protected in the US Constitution) enhance sustained prosperity, which is a prerequisite for liberty. Australia, Canada, Indian Empire, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, United Kingdom, and United States of America have been the engine for prosperity and consequently liberty around the globe. Due to its size, when USA gets sniffles others get pneumonia, the USA must survive and provide leadership.

 

Priorities must be considered for ANY real (as apposed to theoretical) world condition to be sustained. Without prosperity civilization will not have the excess (beyond food, shelter, and police) resources to pursue improvements in construction activity and results. History teaches us that collectivist economies do not provide the wealth necessary to sustain such activity.

 

I recall the concerted effort by my college (1970-74) professors’ to indoctrinate “corporate social responsibility” into business school students. Curious, nothing was mentioned about government responsibility; that only altruistic people were in government “service” was considered a given. “Big brother” has all the correct answers.

 

Over the intervening thirty years, liberals continually pontificated about the lack of ethics in the business sector, which has been highly controlled by taxes, and as government incessantly tampers by regulating every market and industry. Throughout history, and current events prove, that government has not acted ethically as well, in their supposed over-sight of the bad business people. FREE World, Republic founders perceived this situation.

 

Unbridled lazy-fare business activity in the USA ended, as it should have, one-hundred years ago. By the completion (1945) of President FDR’s terms, government (Supreme Court acquiescence) controls had expanded beyond Constitutional authority. However, PROOF that all elites were responsible for the 2008 failed government over-sight of the financial markets is that Representative Pelosi (fierce adversary in opposing party) immediately joined President Bush in the TARP bail-out response.

 

Lingensjo’s answer to the original question (above), “Is entrepreneurial capitalistic free enterprise sustainable?” Considering ever increasing government control of “private” markets, the response is, NO. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. With fear of police action and judicial punishment to enforce their desires, the answer is emphatic.

 

The book CONSTRUCTION BUDGET MANAGEMENT (author Independent Book Publishers Association member) is controversial because it exposes the inherent tyrannical nature of consolidated government power, and consequently the potential for misdeeds by government organizations. The author’s public works construction experience describes a microcosm of governments’ bureaucracy interface with private industry.

 

The book has been validated by numerous industry professionals. Not one challenge has been made regarding CONSTRUCTION BUDGET MANAGEMENT’s (CBM) content. Don’t limit the book by its title. Unlike many books and articles that criticize blotted government with a broad brush; CBM takes the NEXT STEP and provides detailed solutions to specific problems.

 

In addition to many positive reviews of CBM by architects, engineers, contractors, facility owner representatives … etc.; one of the favorites was a dentist’s comment. He was an elected school board member, and he said, prior to reading CBM he abstained from active participation in building project discussions; after studying CBM he then lead those meetings.

 

CBM contends that, in public contracting the selection process of “private” firms should be, following conservative principals, as objective as possible. Making the decision events transparent, and thereby minimize the temptation for abuse and corruption.

 

Most government organizations (thousands of local, State and Federal) have building programs. From the recent “Visitor Center” fiasco in Washington D.C. to university campus facilities, mis-management of public works construction projects is legendary. This topic is timely because, here we are on the threshold of spending hundreds-of-billions of dollars on the “stimulus” package.

 

The speaker’s platform is his book:

Construction Budget Management by Richard Lingensjo

seventeen-hundred are in the fulfillment warehouse ready to ship.

 

An on-line perusal of the CBM web-page, including book reviewers, will reveal that CBM is the best text to prepare people to manage public works projects. As an example, when the author was consulting for the University of California, he initiated a new project delay calculation into UC building contracts. That single suggestion has saved the UC system ten-of-millions of dollars over the past seventeen years.

 

The author met, and spoke one-on-one, with Dean (Pepperdine Law School) Kenneth Starr last year during an event at the President Ronald Regan Library. Dean Starr accepted the CBM book given him and he said he would pass it along to someone in his Department. The author may be speaking there in August.

 

The author is scheduled to speak at the EduComm 2009 event in June and potentially at the iap2 seminar in September. Those presentations will be posing a public police ethical question (specifically CBM page #171). Should government be fair in their contracting with private companies?

pc acolytes

 

*

Break-down both left and right political types into three general categories:

Type one: real elites, from both the political left and right, are well known media personalities, nationally recognized elected officials, and vary – vary – wealthy individuals. Home town (or state wide) recognition is not sufficient to change mass minds on the federal level.

Most conservative elites are obviously registered Republicans; and similar for liberal Democrats. PC elites (Lingensjo previous blog sociopaths) are typically liberal; however, a few are inexplicably not.

Type two: acolytes - many acolytes envision themselves as elites; however, their influence is not significant enough to be included in that class. The actual elites will discard acolytes when convenient.

Conservative acolytes promote the defined (by elites) philosophy using empirical evidence and rational thought; the “silent majority” is traditional middle-class. Liberal acolytes promote the collective party-line through emotional responses to unpleasant situations. Reality is disconcerting for PC acolytes if they are not sociopaths.

Type three: cool-aid drinkers – the vast majority of liberals have arrived, and maintain, their talking points through “feel good” social contact. Conservatives in this class are a smaller percentage of the total right-wing, and they are better informed and rational.

EXAMPLE: Labor wage rate as a function of supply and demand.

Imagine for a moment, a rhetorical question, what would the common (not craftsmen) labor wage be if every able bodied adult had regular employment. If you’re honest, you must conclude that compensation would be higher; how much would be significant. When an employer wanted to hire another person they would be forced to entice an individual away from their current job.

This econ 101 review is a reminder that; when the supply (of labors) is increasing faster than demand, the equilibrium point (compensation) is lowered. Modern economists consider 5% unemployment on the macro level as “full employment”, because at any given moment, there are potential employees in transition from one job to the next.

The official unemployment numbers are not accurate (even allowing for some small percentage of transitional workers) because, over the years, many citizens have fallen out of the statistical collection system. Many more people (without official social security numbers) are not even included in the base numbers.

A recent local LA television spot about the large number of children, of homeless adults on the streets, is heart-breaking. What impact would employment for the parents, at a living wage, have on those children? Flooding the economy with illegal aliens has had the direct result of lowering labor rates and taking jobs from US.

Everyone knows business owners (liberal and conservative) want the lowest possible labor rates so their company can maximize profit. We also know what to expect from groups such as the Cato Institute; “let them eat cake”. Over the past few years, real family income has declined on average $2,000 per year.

Liberals win the prize for extraordinary deception, way beyond hypocrisy, in that, they claim to be for the “little guy”, and yet, consistently advocate LA be a sanctuary City. This rationalization is astonishing; over the past 50 years I have witnessed the devastation of the “minority” living standard in LA. Low-income citizens have been thrown under the bus.

Influencing the elites by the average person (such as temporarily stopping amnesty) can be done from the bottom up (plan on Lingensjo blog at TownHall.com). Acolytes will come around only when given implicit instruction to do so from their respective elites. Cool-aid drinkers want to “change” the people in charge of the same shenanigans, hoping they will personally benefit.

If you are incapable of comprehending the above facts and analysis you are a cool-aid drinker. If you simply refuse to acknowledge this reality you are a PC acolyte. “What luck for rulers that men don’t think;” Hitler 1940.

money melt-down

 

*

 

A concerted effort in the 1970s was initiated by the Carter administration to fight “red-lining” by residential lending institutions. Pressure was placed on government licensed “private sector” companies to make loans to buyers not traditionally qualified, who happened to be geographically clustered. In 1999 the Clinton administration (dems moved on to Freddie and Fannie) exacerbated those sub-prime loan issuances by repealing Federal law regarding certain securities transactions.

 

The stage was set and liberals in Congress aggressively promoted (left-wing activist group Acorn flourished) practices objected to by a few conservatives. Now, when the predicted day of reckoning has arrived, the vary people who failed in their “over-cite” authority expect us to believe they have the solution!

 

The foregoing explanation is the reason why the persons in charge are desperate, to have those who have been in opposition, sign-on to their fix.

 

I recall many years ago, at the Cal State University LA that, I took an entire course titled “Money and Banking”. To summarize one subject, the primary lesson from the “depression” is that the “money supply” should be managed, not left to chance. Confidence in the currency (FDIC $100K insurance and other measures) is essential for uninterrupted commerce over an extended period if time.

 

I my opinion, this current money melt-down is a direct result of government interference in the otherwise objectively managed money supply market by the independent Federal Reserve System. A perfect example of why the Fed. should remain independent; otherwise, imagine how much nonsense government officials could create, unwarranted expansion of artificial assets would run wild.

 

Bean-counters always have the last word. You can spin and temporally distort a semi-free market; however eventually, a supply & demand equilibrium will prevail. The USSR learned that lesson, even with a totally controlled economy, because, unless you are completely self-sufficient, trade balances are subject to world money markets. The more these markets are integrated (new world order); the longer it takes to correct manipulation.

 

Democracy and Capitalism make for the best combination for the average citizen. Free (or even controlled) markets for individual property rights, despite the lame-stream media and “educators”, provide long-run protection for commercial transactions. Over-cite by elected representatives should provide the necessary transparency.

pitch fork posse

 

*

 

The tipping point has arrived.

 

Individuals are aching for some ACTION they can do personally! Many authors and media personalities promote broad-brush, macro-ideas, and general philosophy. Citizens want specific impact (metaphoric pitch fork) activity they can engage in. Obviously, researching (beyond the lame-stream media) and voting on the issues, not personalities, is number one.

 

Every government entity has a building program, the management of which exemplifies their malfeasances. The law provides that public agencies (school board, city council … etc) allow any attendee of an official meeting to address the proceedings. Form a posse, show up at a meeting, and challenge elected members to read the book.

 

Search on-line for:

Construction Budget Management by Richard Lingensjo

stockholm syndrome

 

*

 

As a hostage, by definition, your liberty has been removed, or depending on the circumstances, at least diminished. The ever expanding US government, through taxes (intimidating IRS apparatus) and regulations, encroaches relentlessly into our lives. Touted by the chattering classes’ as progress, the taking of personal property rights and medaling in traditional group (Boy Scouts, marriage … etc) affairs has reached the threshold of totalitarianism.

 

Like the proverbial frog in the sauce pan, most citizens are distracted and placated by their comfortable standard of living. This scenario has been accurately depicted by numerous authors over two thousand years of history. There are examples of civilizations failing entirely under these vary circumstances. The unconscionable run-up in the national debt is a primary ingredient.

 

For those who are well off financially, and therefore have much social freedom, the affect is less severe. Those in the upper-class, those with the most power to affect change, are not likely to pursue real improvement. Those less educated, those in the lower-classes, have resolved themselves to the oppressive burden (by the “man”) of ever present government. The “Stockholm syndrome” has taken affect; some hostages are defending, even encouraging, their captures for increasing their bondage.

 

More at stake than the US as we know it, if that is not enough for you. Most hostages are not aware (quiz one on the street) of the unprecedented freedom and opportunity available in the US.  That fact contributes to the question of Western civilization’s survival. Not appreciating what you have reduces your anxiety about loosing it.

 

The US has been the engine for prosperity (a prerequisite for freedom) and liberty around the globe, since winning WWII for the “free world”. True to the founders’ vision, in the interim, President Ronald Reagan won WWIII. A healthy economy, including a vary large middle-class, and vigilance by those same middle-class patriots is necessary to preserve our Country as originally intended.

 

During the depression of the early 1930s many unemployed took refuge on family farms for basic necessaries. The drastic reduction, through to current times, of such agrarian life negates that opportunity. A macro-economic failure of that magnitude in modern time would result in a global catastrophe, beyond any historic proportion, a new “dark ages” in extreme.

 

The entire world would be subject to military conflict. Modern surveillance, communications, and the speed of force deployment would make a secrete operation (as in the movies) by the “good guys” impossible. Tyranny would be the norm world wide; the fascist “strong man” and slavery would rule. Countries currently with a dictatorial central government (i.e. Russia & China) will have a head-start in the fight for resources to supple their military.

 

The tipping point has arrived.

degrading work force

 

*

Add millions of workers, willing to toil for low wages, to any mature labor market and the result will be reduced pay (and benefits) generally, for that entire sector of the economy. Supply and demand, contrary to PC elites’ mantra, will over time, reach lower compensation equilibrium.

Current government demography (cuscus bureau) predicts that over the next thirty years, US population will increase from approximately 300mil to 400mil. The majority of that thirty percent growth will be due to the high birth rate among the 20mil illegals aliens, wrong interpretation causing anchor baby tolerance, and continued open borders.

Those same elites who demand amnesty are typically ecology activists; consistency is not a prerequisite for liberal logic. And apparently, having a PhD produces retrograde conclusions. 1950s academic alerts to population growth’s deleterious ramifications were ignored by all Washington D.C. politicians, to continue expanding consumer markets and “prosperity”.

As a forth generation builder, I have witnessed (over the past 50 years) the degrading of professionalism within one of the largest economic sectors; the construction industry labor force. Many workers today, as opposed to the 1950s, can not read (any language) or do the necessary math. Liberals are in the position of dismissing the importance of education.

The financial result, of the cheep work invasion, has been a lower rate of price inflation for new buildings at the expense of the depressed living standard for construction workers. The construction industry is unique, in that, there are “prevailing wages” for educated craftsmen that provide a comparative standard, at twice the cheep labor rates; much to the chagrin of my opponents.

opposition industry

Sean Hannity (met him in San Diego) declares at least once during each of his radio talk shows that; some statement of a liberal is, “unbelievable”. Other radio talk show hosts (I sample all in my radio area) have proclaimed; they don’t “understand” liberal thinking.

 

Over the past 50 years I struggled with my inability to comprehend liberal thinking. After-all, many liberals have a “higher education”. I was irritated that my logical arguments were not capable of convincing left-wingers of their folly. I decided the common (as opposed to elite) liberal is simply a Cool-aid drinker.

 

My explanation for elites; I deduced a few years ago that an opposition industry, in the best traditions of capitalism, has dramatically expanded over the past forty years. The lame-stream media promotes such activity, because the more “Twilight Zone” the message, the more attention they can garner. Exposure for selling product and service is the incentive.

 

Because much of “liberal” promoted ideas are destructive to United States prosperity and liberty, which was based on traditional American values, I reluctantly arrived at the conclusion that sociopaths are best to manage that opposition activity. Consequently, not caring allows them to simply game the system to their financial advantage.

 

The opposition industry includes; all liberal organizations, public schools administration, most universities, aclu, sierra club, la raza, … etc.

 

My book is also vary controversial.
