S&P: Investors could lose $100 billion if US credit is downgraded - The Hill's On The Money

The problem is not S&P and it is not just one or another potential 'victim' should the budget force a credit downgrading.
The problem is how the finances are administered. Expenditures need to be cut to the minimum, not just because there never will be enough money to accommodate them, but because they are all fake, all illusions of very bad economics. Like the sub-prime mortgages that pretended that a family earning $10,000 a year could ever pay a $200,000 mortgage.

Raising taxes is not a solution either because the economy will be strangled beyond what it is already and people will not have any cash to make businesses prosper and let them bring prosperity to the country. Taxes can only be applied, directly or indirectly to the people.
There are no such things are taxes on corporations or taxes on businesses or on environmental hazards or this or that, only the people and that includes taxing the rich over and above what the government decides a rich person is.
The only solution is reduction on government and to stick to a limited government formula, letting the people decide what is good and what is bad and to let the market free as well as the people. It is really so sad that so much needs to be said about something that should really be a no brainer.

A pilgrimage to Midland, a walk for life and freedom on Canada day

Dear Mr. Harper. As our leader, I am appealing to you two months now, before July 1 st , Canada day, on which we celebrate the nation we are wanting to be, and on which I have committed to the Lord, my walking pilgrimage to the Shrine in Midland, Ontario; that commemorate our true martyrs, people like us, who gave everything for the building of our nation, in the only possible way a nation could ever be build, by giving everything to God.

When God is offended, should we become violent?

Our God is all love and truth, who asks from us humility and forgiveness. Our God is the only living God. He has the word of eternal life. Observing the process of the current protests in the Middle East and many other places in the world by the so called followers of Islam, presumably outraged because they do not like what is being presented in a film about their prophet; it is interesting to distinguish that factual truth, about what is missing in the whole staging of these protests and it is precisely, truth, love, humility and forgiveness and it is not precisely from the ignorant mobs perpetrating the assaults under the direction of their evil leaders, but from the ones supposedly protecting the basic and fundamental freedoms we all in the western civilization which is founded in Christianity, have for granted.

Affordable Housing

At any point in time any house is an affordable house, or a house that can be afforded by the person or family living within. Tents are affordable houses as much as mansions are. Governments, of any level cannot fix the housing problem because they are the housing problem. It is their taxes, mostly all of them irrational and ruthless, that causes people to go into financial stress and desperation.  Why is it that a housing problem exists?  Governments, of any level can only destroy economies by meddling in them. By legislating in favour of some and in detriment of others. Governments are not meant to choose winners and losers. By allowing such irrationality what it’s accomplished is corruption at the highest level.  Let’s look at the construction matter. The narrative says governments of every level are engaged in building infrastructure, roads, trains, airports, etc. The construction industry of course goes beyond those areas but also and especially, it is about housing,...
