What would you do with $42,000?

I want you to imagine that tomorrow afternoon; you went to your mailbox and found US Treasury check for you for $42,000. And, there was another letter for your wife and every one of your children and each contained a $42,000 check. Wow, I’d bet that you would be one happy camper, and you’d probably pay off the credit cards, the car loan, and save or invest the rest.

For almost everyone I know, this would be a huge blessing, and would substantially change our life situation.

Well people, I’m sorry to say that we’re not getting the check. Instead, we are getting the $42,000 bill.

Yes, $42,000 for every man woman and child in America. That’s the amount ($14 Trillion) that this idiotic dishonest government has committed to Wall Street, the big banks, and hedge funds.

I don’t know about you, but I’m mad as hell about this. Why are Obama and his dynamic duo of Geithner and Bernanke destroying our futures while they are giving their friends and insiders our money? Why is Congress doing nothing to protect us as individuals from the nastiest recession in history. Why are we allowing 15 million and counting workers to lose their jobs, and millions of families to end up living in tent cities under the freeways?

More importantly, why have you not screamed bloody murder to your elected officials? I mean, this is more onerous that what set off a bunch of Bostonians to seize a British ship and dump its cargo of tea into the Boston harbor.

If this doesn’t get your blood boiling, I want you to go out and get two large poster boards. With a wide marker write “The Fed Stole $42,000 of my and your money and we did nothing.” Then, with a two pieces of string, string the boards together, drape them over your head, and go out to the busiest intersection you can find and march around for a few hours.

Maybe then you’ll realize how much we need to get rid of this lame excuse for a Government.

Revolution anyone?
