- What is a "good steward"? First off, it is
someone (or a body like Congress) that takes care of the needs today in
an appropriate manner (not the wants, the true needs), without wrecking
tomorrow.
-
- Below is a good example of "bad steward" and
laying the groundwork to wreck tomorrow.
-
- Americans should all take the attitude that "DC
cannot afford our vote", and in that I mean quit relying on crumbs
from DC to get you to vote in any direction. Vote conscience and what
is best for America, truly best for you, your children, your grandchildren.
-
- For those that have not noticed, the decline in the value
of the dollar means that each of you is "worth less" today than
you were before 9-11.
-
- For those that have not noticed, our government has put
this nation so deep into debt that other nations are not willing to take
on more U.S. debt so our nation, and especially our government and their
wealthy masters can continue to be wanton fools when it comes to the level
of their insatiable greed. Chapter 16 of "One-Way Ticket to Crawford,
Texas" will tell you all about it, who did it, how they do it. www.karlschwarz.com
-
- Think on it - they want to borrow $1 to $2 trillion for
Social Security and privatize it. Until certain loopholes are closed in
our laws - that were opened in 1994, 1996, 1997 - that would be a free
invitation to steal $60 to $90 billion a year by the same folks that brought
us Enron, Tyco, WCG, Global Crossing, WCOM, etc. Their wealthy masters
wanted them to legalize theft through the capital markets, and our elected
leaders went along with The Rape of America, and you too.
-
- To say that Washington, DC is fiscally irresponsible
and detrimental to the financial health of this nation [and you] is an
understatement.

- Congressional Memo To Future Generations: You're Screwed.
-
- From John Burat, Jr.
- To Karl Schwarz
- 12-10-4
-
- Take it from a not-so-old former congressman who knows:
Proud young Americans, you are in for a con job from Washington that you
can't even imagine.
-
- Your government has already borrowed almost $8 trillion
that it can't pay back. Guess who will have to write the check? That's
right. You.
-
- Expect massive tax hikes in your future, and wicked cuts
in national defense, education, environmental enforcement, police protection
and medical care for the poor and elderly.
-
- Oh, you say the poor should pay for their health care
just like you? Fine.
-
- Wait till you have to crawl over 3-year-old kids dying
on the front steps of the emergency room where you are taking your kids
and then you will be asking yourself if it was really wise for this generation
of politicians to spend money as responsibly as pot heads in an open-all-night
grocery store.
-
- And guess what these politicians who have already straddled
you with an $8 trillion debt plan to do as soon as Congress gets back in
session?
-
- No, guess. Really. You'll love this.
-
- They plan to plunge America into debt by $2 trillion
more dollars!
-
- You see, they've got this really cool plan to <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6685963/>privatize
parts of Social Security that usually make free market conservatives like
myself giddy. We start talking about the invisible hand and the power of
market forces.
-
- Only problem is that this plan to get government off
our backs costs a cool $2 trillion in transition fees.
-
- And- let me see if you are following me here- who pays
for that?
-
- That's right. YOU!
-
- But that's not the biggest problem with this $2 trillion
Social Security plan. What bothers me the most is the fact that everybody
in Washington knows that allowing Americans to invest parts of their Social
Security payments in the stock market will produce some winners. But capitalism
also always produces losers, and we all know that there will be millions
of Americans who will make stupid investments in the coming years. (See
Enron, etoys, Pets.com, Worldcom)
-
- So what will happen when they retire and start complaining
to their local congressman and TV camera crews about how they're about
to be thrown out in the streets because of the dumb investments they made
with their Social Security payments years ago?
-
- Congress will pass the "Save Our Stupid Seniors
Investment Relief Act of 2025," thereby guaranteeing that all Americans
will have all Social Security payments restored in full.
-
- That will require that you take your third job in the
Chinese high tech factory just so you can pay even more taxes to Washington.
-
- It's a bright future, brought to you by a gang in Washington
who really couldn't care less about what happens to the world they pass
on to their children and grandchildren.
-
- How do I know this? Because I was in Congress long enough
to learn that you judge politicians by their actions, not their words.
-
- P.S. I talk about the selling out of America by politicians
in my book <http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5932469/>"Rome Wasn't
Burnt in a Day."

- God bless
