Remember Tass

I grew up with a Strong Soviet Union. They had one newsmedia, and they called it "Tass."
Tass told the people what the government wanted them to think. Nobody disagreed, nobody argued, nobody protested or else their friends never saw them again.

My GUT tells me when something is wrong.
It was WRONG (in 2008) to bail out those rotten businesses (Too Big To Fail) that were run into the ground by corrupt CPO's. You wouldn't hire a plumber twice if his work made your pipes leak. You'd be HAPPY to un-recommend him...on "Angie's List", or by word-of-mouth.
It is natural and right for businesses and people to rise and fall, if they are not good stewards.

It was REALLY wrong for our government to go off of the Gold Standard in the early 1930's. The explanation that says we don't need it doesn't explain what our paper and metal (not LONGER semi-precious metals, either) is based on today.

It is wrong to spend money like~
...a drunken sailor
...a freshman in college with his rich uncle's credit card
...it's "going out of style"
...you HAVE to buy friends/votes

It is WRONG to carelessly spend OTHER people's money.

It is wrong to tell other people that something is good, when you KNOW it is bad.
(How many REAL Journalists can you name?)

NEXT time you get ready to vote, don't count on any talking heads to tell you what to think. Listen to your "gut". It's the thing connected with you and it has a vested interest in your welfare.
