It's the End of the World as We Know It

It's the End of the World as We Know It

Well, I was almost right. The elections in the UK went to the Tories. However I was wrong about the Liberal Democrats. Rather than picking up a few seats, they lost five.

What is important is the UK now needs a coalition Parliment. Already Cameron has approached Nick Clegg of the LibDems.

Here is where it gets interesting. In the debates, Clegg made it clear that the LibDems were unhappy about military expenditures. A reasoning person might interpret this to mean less involvement in the Middle East. This translates to the UK not being such a loyal participant with the bully on the block.

The US will be forced to either stand alone or back off when it comes to foreign countries. Much of the US corporate income is based upon foreign sources. Without the US military, revenue as well as goods decline to zip.

As I pointed out in a previous post, as goes the UK, so goes the US. Come November, the republicans will regain both houses. The democrats have run their course and won't re-emerge as a viable party unless and until they completely re-invent themselves.

Will it matter? In the long run, yes. The US needs a multi-party system. The dems aren't inherrently evil, just misguided. Are the reps better? On some national problems, yes. Otherwise and on the whole, both parties are composed of a majority of self-serving idiots. I state idiots based upon the definition being incapacity to learn.

No matter, likes like likes. Take this to equate to voters elect "their own kind." It is all about money. Money is interpreted as security. Screw with the electorate's security and suffer the consequences.

The US pursued maximum tax returns with minimum investment. We encouraged the exporting of manufacturing and resourse extraction. We produce almost nothing tangible. The electorate voted themselves money out of the common pot. The problem was we had to finance the pot by borrowing from others and inflating the money supply.

We voted to rape our children and grandchildren's financial future. Go find yourself a copy of the movie, "Wild in the Streets."

Watch it and then look at the use of Mood Altering Drugs (MADs), alcohol and illegal drug usage. The whole country is crying, "Don't bogart that joint."

"It's the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine." Well not exactly. I'm scared SHITLESS!!!
