Who Has It? Who Needs It?
If you're frustrated and wondering "who's zoomin' who" in the media flaps over "sequester", see if this helps: Sequester, is the noun. Sequestrate is the verb. Sequestration is what the Republican Party did, big time, between 2000 and 2008. They were so good at hoarding the wealth of this country during those years, that they "succeeded" in screwing our economy through tax cuts, wars, and housing bubbles. They borrowed the money for their wars, figuring to take Iraq's oil to pay back the money. They lost that bet.
We're now left without the money required to patch up the damage in our economy, or to run the country. What's their answer? Turn off the supply of money. They don't intend to give back what they "sequestered", so they want to starve the economy (which is barely limping after their first attack). The citizens of this country are CRAZY if they fall for this trick.
We live in a large, very rich, federal, Public Household, composed of 50 state Public Households.
The Constitutions of the states require a balanced budget every year. The federal Constitution does not. That way, we can defend ourselves in wars and against natural disasters, and help the states when needed. The Republicans are betting that we're too stupid to know this!
Shall we CUT (de-fund)? Don't cut you, don't cut me; cut the guy behind the tree! Shall we FUND
(raise taxes)? Don't tax you, don't tax me; tax the guy behind the tree!
The aswer to these questions depends on whether the citizen wishes to live in a country that continues to shrink; steadily declining to collapse; or one that can grow its way out of our mess!
To grow we have to invest; or, yes, Virginia, SPEND! The Republican Party and the media are trapping us in false arguments. If you consume your dollars you rot and collapse. If you save and invest your dollars, you can grow!
Think About It!
