US DEBT
The GOP with the Tea party as its spearhead have pulled out the political gun again and are holding it to the heads of all Americans, investors, pension holder and their primary sponsor Big business. This is the second time this tactic has been used. The first of course was to hold 98% of America hostage to the tax cuts for the super-rich. Recent polling data clearly show the American public overwhelmingly does not support those tax cut extensions.
The Koch brothers, Fox news, Rick Scott and Big business represented by The US chamber of commerce find themselves hostage as well by their own creation, the Tea Party. Led by Michelle Bachmann in the house and Rand Paul in the senate, they threaten to unwind the world’s economy by allowing the debt ceiling to expire for the first time in history. This reckless act has world markets and the Standard and Poor’s rating agency both shaky at best. Ordinary American with potential pensions at risk of a third collapse in value in only one decade is perplexed at this political tactics use again as well.
Just when the market has made a substantial come back from the abyss for normal Americans and business worldwide, this Frankenstein creation seems to care not for the damage that will be caused worldwide. Employment in the US has rebounded and business outlook improved significantly over the past two years and will reverse past historic lows of 2007 if the Tea Party continues down this dangerous path. The two unfunded wars, a trillion dollar pay off to drug makers, and another trillion dollar tax rebate to billionaires will pail in comparison to the coming economic implosion if the radical right does not change course.
This tactic to slow the economic recovery for political gain has all the earmark of dirty political trick to win at all cost. The overall American public is beginning to wake up and has shown severe disdain for the GOP and the Tea Parties radical methods of economic extortion in recent polls. The investor class has seen tax rate reductions unheard of in times since the horse and buggy roamed Wall Street. Now GOP governors are fully on the band wagon, bowing to their master who paid their way into office with huge paybacks. Some are not only lowering taxes but eliminating them altogether at the expense of its ordinary citizens and taxpayers.
The American middle class has been stretched like a rubber band and may snap out of existence in this decade. Thirty years of failed Reaganism looks to go into overdrive and sweep away any security an entire century of generations has fought and died for. The poor, seniors and middle center are already pushed down to poverty levels never before imagined. The upper one third still clinging on by chipped nails will be the next to fall pray. In one more decade of decline the top 2% will overwhelm all other sectors of our economy if this trend continues unabated. Further extension of the tax cuts to the rich will shift 5 trillion in debt to Middle America while shifting that same amount of wealth to the super-rich by the end of this decade. The GOP and Paul Ryan’s game plan; raid Social security and Medicare funds to pay down the debt while shifting more wealth in tax cuts upward to their benefactors.
The current GOP tactic to limit voter rights and disenfranchise every ethnic group, labor coalition and other venerable segment of the populace may become the straw to break the countries back. An estimated ten million legitimate voters have already had their rights to do so vanquish. In many states obstacles are going up for seniors (37 million), minorities (99 million) and the poor (52.5 million) to limit voter turn out in future elections. One state has taken over an entire city and pledged the best asset the city owns to the highest political donor. The rights and representation afforded in the Constitution by election completely overturned by a stroke of the Governors pen.
This current situation had become a race for a winner take all type of nation and governmental body. If the top 2% prevail in controlling energy, food, resources and our ability to vote, the future hold little promise for generations of ordinary Americans to come. The advantage the super-rich have is American ego’s, no one want to associate themselves with these groups, although 98% percent of us live and work their. We have been conditioned to delude ourselves into winning the great American lottery of life, and striking it rich ourselves. You do have better chances of winning the real lottery before that happens.

The Royal Wedding
Roughly two billion people around the globe will be tuning in to watch the wedding of Prince William and Miss Kate Middleton. As part of the preparation, the choirboys singing at the wedding have it to give up chocolate – it ruins their voices, apparently. They’ve been promised an entire backpack of chocolate after the ceremony, however.
The Household Cavalry have to take care of every detail of the uniforms. Their boots will be waxed with beeswax, spit and polish in layers to create a mirror-like gloss.
Scotland Yard is already making preparations against proposed protests, such as one by MAC (Muslims Against Crusaders.) According to the Yard, however, the number of protestors is expected to be very small.
Apparently Kate’s cake will feature flowers. The creator, Fiona Cairns, is creating a multi layered fruitcake, the traditional wedding cake in Britain. Apparently her creation will feature English roses, Scottish thistles, Welsh daffodils and Irish shamrocks, of course.
Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski will be broadcasting from the UK during the week of the wedding. Their broadcast will begin at 3 am on the day of the wedding.
The wedding will be streamed live on CNN and YouTube.

It's really incredible how much you all are doing, on so many fronts...I wish you all great success.
Thanks for the bread-crumbs to this venture, Jenny. :) I think it's fantastic that what started as an epub excursion will be breaking out into print by this Fall. Congratulations to you all! If I know of other Indie Authors needing a publisher for eBooks or print... I'll be sure to send them your way. :)
