d-pip,
Lighten up there. Yes, the name was wrong but ever since Peanut Carter was elected President I’ve called them all by other names. Volker was the S.O.B. who raised interest rates to 16.5% just as my wife and I were finishing building a house from the ground up and we needed a home mortgage.:mad: Remembering the names of idiots is not high on my list of things to do. I don’t care if they elected Daffy Duck because there’s so many Chicken Littles running around yelling the sky’s falling it won’t make a damn difference.
I just read about the billion dollar electronic fence fiasco that Congress is having built across the Mexican-US border. It has come to light that it doesn’t work. I think the electric cord doesn’t reach or somebody didn’t supply any batteries. LOL.
I don’t know why they bothered because most of the Mexicans that wanted to come here are already here. Some of them are building the fence which was probably made in China. Now they have to get back home as the jobs have all gone to Mexico.
Well they can always take a boat on either side of Mexico if they get the fence working but that will be awhile as the directions are in Chinese. Don’t anybody tell Congress about the water routes to Mexico, heaven knows what they’ll want to build next. If any of you Brits go to Washington DC on vacation I suggest you don’t drink the water. I really think it’s contaminated with some kind of funny juice.
It’s been that way for a long time actually as the decisions are somewhat suspect. In the 1860’s congress opted to supply the Union Army with new single shot rifles instead of the latest Remington seven shot repeating rifles to save on ammunition. Duh! Soldiers were cheaper then bullets I guess. In the world war they bought French junk that didn’t work after the first shot. I guess the French were the first to make “one use” throw away thingies. They’re kind of sneaky that way. Our boys had to sneak up on the Germans to steal their guns so they could shoot them.
I remember my uncles coming back from the war all had British 303 and German Lugar side arms which they got overseas. They all had a storey to tell about the stupid French guns. When you think about what was on the French’s minds it all becomes very clear. After the French talked to Congress about the guns they sure didn’t want idiots like that armed for very long on French soil. The French probably just gathered the guns up after the battle and sold them back Congress.
If you wanted a bar of soap to wash off the dirt and blood from the battle field you had to pay a dollar for it. Now where do you get money on the battle field for soap? In WWII my Step-Father fresh off the battlefield in North Africa was loaded onto a boat to Italy to continue the fight with the Germans. Having been wounded in the leg he hobbled off the boat to be greeted with donuts and hot coffee at the dock. With great joy he put his hand out for a cup to be told that will be a dollar please. That took a lot of guts to ask a man with a gun for a dollar.
If you won a medal they took the cost out of your pay which was more then one months pay. Damn stupid of you to get shot and earn a purple heart. So your choice was to send the money back to your wife and kids to survive or accept the medal. It sure didn’t pay to be a hero.
Our government officials come from a long and prestigious line of blinking idiots. The present health bill is a prime example. Let’s make a law to make it illegal not to have health insurance and fine the poor if they don’t comply. Would someone please send Congress the definition of the word poor? I think they believe it’s those dumb rich bastards that refuse to buy health insurance.
Ahh on second thought don’t bother, they didn’t believe the hundreds of consultants they have on the government payroll that advised them we were heading for a financial crisis.
I’m really not anti-American but I must admit to anti-stupidity. This is a government sponsored government designed recession. Whether they want to admit it to the American people or not they are the ones who hired the fox to guard the chicken coop on the Funny Farm. As well as the lone wolf to watch over Granny’s house. They also let the traveling salesman sleep with Mr. Farmer’s daughter. Now the Feds want to jail the poor Mr. Farmer because there’s no eggs for breakfast and he’s pleading innocence because he was on vacation with Little Red Riding Hood getting a little relaxation. Mr. Farmer’s wife returns from the fat farm in southern California to find Missy pregnant, Granny missing, no chickens in the chicken coop, Little Red Riding Hood with all the cash and her lazy ass husband in trouble with the Feds.
Now the Feds are really fried :mad:and looking for a scape goat. They had come up with bail out money so the farmer wouldn’t go bankrupt. He needed to buy more chickens to keep the supply of eggs flowing from the Funny Farm. Congress in an all night session passed a bill to insure this would never happen again.
They put together a special task force which consists of a whole pack of wolves to watch the lone wolf and the fox who watches the chickens in the chicken coop which is owned by the Farmer with the smile who’s again relaxing with Little Red Riding Hood and his wife is back at the fat farm in southern California.
After a lengthy investigation by the FBI(Feable Brained Idiots) it was determined that Granny was the culprit.:eek: Case Closed.
I’ll try to do better with the names next time d-pip but don’t bet the farm on it. That’s Little Red Riding Hood’s job to proof read this crap.
Back to trading,
Johnny
It’s a real damned if you do, damned if you don’t setup. There is a housing shortage in Britain and this is raising existing home prices. Raising interest rates won’t help this situation either. Verrrry interesting my Dear Watson.
