Sutton's Law...............from Rico
Considering the obvious has become known as "Sutton's Law." It is fairly well known, unlike Galbraith's comment that "The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking."
Let's travel from Sutton, to Spain, and then back to today's US, which bears some serious (if painful) thinking about.
Willie SUTTON.
New York bank robber Willie Sutton (1901-1980) did very well in his career, robbing millions of dollars. Famous for his success (although later over-shadowed by Bernie Madoff and the US Congress), he is more famous for apocryphally replying to a reporters question "Why do you rob banks?" with the quip "Because that's where the money is."
Which takes us to SPAIN.
The Spanish government has had its hand in the piggy bank. Have you wondered WHO in their right mind would be buying Spanish 10Y's? Spain has. Tapping the national piggy bank to become the buyer of last resort for it's own bonds. At least 90% of their Social Security fund has been spent to buy their own risky national debt because the government is broke and "because that's where the money was."
- Never mind that there will not be any retirement for a lot of Spaniards, their government needed the money more than they will.
This brings us back to the US.
There can be no end to QE, but there can be an end to private savings. The FED is currently the buyer of last resort for over 60% of US 10Y's. They cannot stop...UNLESS the "USG goes where the money is" and forces private 401K's and IRA's to hold Treasury bonds (debt), Social Security already having been plundered of its cash in exchange for US "IOU" Treasurys. Would the American government 'rob' the private savings of its own citizens because it was 'broke' and "that's where the money was?" In a New York minute!

Useful or Useless?................from Rico
If you ask almost any "low information" US person you will be regaled with their media-induced 'opinion' of Sandy Hook and Gun Control.
- In another time and place they would be called "useful idiots."
None of these morons can tell you one thing about Gun Walker, and even fewer can find that toddlin' town Chicago on a map ...much less explain how it can be possible that in a city where law abiding citizens cannot legally own a gun, 532 people were murdered (a little over seven a day) in 2012.
Not that there is any "agenda" in the MSM or the current Democratic (C) regime.
- I call them "useless idiots."

Classic! Timeless!..............from Rico
Gee, THANKS Congress for 'saving' everyone in the US from the bogeyman of the 'Fiscal Cliff!' You deserve a raise! (Oh wait, Barry just gave you one.) Americans were obviously too 'skeered' to look under the bed for themselves, and took your 'word' for it that some sorta monster lurked there. Suckers. Mugs. Timeless comedy rampant.
- And just like with Obamacare, you didn't even 'read' the pork-stuffed law you enacted (well, you only had three minutes from receiving the bill to voting on it).
The consequences? Debt and spending were NOT addressed, much less resolved.
- One notes that while 80% will now pay MORE taxes to the Federal Government, and middle earners take the biggest proportional tax "hit." The result? "No Hawaiian vacations for YOU!" [In my best Seinfeld soup-Nazi voice.]
This at a time when US median net worth is the lowest since 1969 (after Barry's first term which 'shrank' US family net worth 38%), it looks a lot like the classic game of Communists vs. Kulaks.
- While 'saying' things like 'fair share' and 'eat the rich' what this Marxist cabal is actually 'doing' is 'killing the middle class.'
America will not look the same without them, and is approaching the status of Amerika rapidly.
- You will not like it.
