when I enlisted in the Air Force in 1990 I was assigned to unit in Strategic Air Command. everyone in SAC at the time was called a SAC Warrior. I am now in AMC. Since then I have been an aircrew member on 25 missions where I have received hostile fire pay. I have served under orders for operations Nobel eagle, Iraqi freedom and enduring freedom. I have been to Bosnia during peace keeping missions. I have been to Afghanistan 4 times. Once to Kandahar 3 times to bagram. I have flown over Iraq at least 10 times. However I have no idea what you think a warrior should sound like.

I guess if everyone was one you deserve to be one too. I was afraid you were like Barney living off Fred flintstone's reputation.

<quoted text> August 31, 2012 – GERMANY - Premier Wen Jiabao told German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Europe must “strike a balance” between fiscal tightening and measures to promote growth.“Europe’s debt crisis has continued to worsen, giving rise to serious concerns in the international community. Frankly, I am also worried,” he said. His comments mark a shift in Chinese policy. Beijing has until now backed austerity across Euroland, but the severity of China’s own downturn has begun to rattle policymakers. Exports of electronic goods to Italy crashed 43pc in July from a year earlier, and sales to Germany fell 11pc. Caixin reported that processing trade to Europe fell 21pc. The country’s two largest shipping groups COSCO and China Shipping both reported drastic losses today. The Shanghai composite index of stocks threatened to break below 2000 today, the lowest since the Lehman crisis. Mr. Wen asked for clarification over whether Italy and Spain would adopt “comprehensive rescue measures” needed to unlock the EU bail-out machinery – and open the door to bond purchases by the European Central Bank. Mrs Merkel said eurozone debt remains a “safe investment.” Yet it is far from clear whether China can come to the rescue. Simon Derrick from BNY Mellon said China’s foreign reserves peaked at $3.31 trillion in February, and have since fallen by over $100bn.“China is no longer in the market to buy bonds,” he said. Morgan Stanley said there are signs of incipient capital flight from China. The yuan has fallen almost 1pc since April, and off-shore markets are pricing in further falls over the next year. The risk for Europe is that China could become a net seller of European bonds if forced to run down reserves to shore up the yuan. Germany has reasons of its own for going easy on Club Med austerity. The policy has finally begun to boomerang, with German exports falling by 14pc to Spain --------- Ok (China is no longer in the market to buy bonds) Where is Obama gonna borrow the forty cents on every dollar that he is spending?

He's not. He will do something much worse and that is print money. That influx of currency into our economy with nothing to back it up will devalue our own currency even farther than it already is. This will make the things we buy more expensive yet wages will still be low. With consumer confidence as low as it is, printing money should not even be an option. I bet Obama gives the go ahead. Bad decisions are a dime a dozen with this administration.

All those trillions of debt the actual paper cash doesnt exist. They are just signatures on paper Like a house morgage & T bills. The mint has been running 24X7 for decades. Paper money wears out. Cash is burned daily and new paper is printed to replace the worn out bills. Its mostly one dollar bills that are minted. The largest bill in circulation is the #100 bill. Unless we do like germany did and start printing things like Ten thousand dollar bill,s the paper money wont exist. Germany before WWII printed 100,000 frank paper & their mnoey became worthless. Now I think we could have hyperinflation. And that is just to put it simple the collapse of the dollar. The coins would still have value. Not long ago when scrap was high a penny contained more than a penny,s worth of copper. The solid silver coins all are worth more than their face value.

If you are saying that Mitt is less qualified to be president than Obama you either have had your head in the sand for 3 1/2 straight years, are a socialistic liberal and just don't know it yet, or want something out of a candidate that neither one of these can deliver for you. Either way, the choice is between someone who will keep this country from going under and will probably make things better (Romney) or someone who will destroy America as it was intended to be (not the way it currently is). The choice is yours.

GM Sales/Bloomberg Report

79% of GM’s sales last month was government purchased

July 12th, 2012
Remember how Obama keeps telling us how he saved GM, and how our economy is getting better, it seems the car company he bought is being saved by Govt employees using our tax money to buy new cars. 79% of GM’s sales last month was government purchased.

GM’s sales figures for last month were the best since 2008 , up 16% for the month of June. YIPPEE! Well, wait just a minute. It seems that those rosy sales figures are due primarily to a 79% increase in fleet sales to the U.S. government in June. That’s right. Our tax dollars are being used to pump up GM’s sales figures ahead of next month’s quarterly report so that Dear Leader can point to Government Motors as a huge success. The incestuous relationship between GM, the UAW and the Regime has never been more glaringly apparent. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: GM is unsustainable without government subsidies and will ultimately go bust again, taking billions of taxpayer dollars down with it.

We bailed out General Motors to the tune of $50 billion.$30 billion of this is effectively a loss, mostly sunk into fattening the United Auto Workers union—fierce Obama supporters—while the actual bondholders were shown the elevator shaft.

Meanwhile, as News Busters reports,“We the Taxpayers are still stuck holding 500+ million shares of GM stock., which we need to sell at $53 per share. It debuted post-bankruptcy at $33 per share. It is currently trading at just over $20 per. Meaning we’ll lose about $15 billion.”

But it gets better. Despite the overwhelming negatives, the tiny bright spot of positive June sales numbers is being heralded by Obama and the leftist press as proof the auto bailout was a “success.”

Obama is now campaigning on the “success” of the government buying cars from…the government’s car company. With our money. Americanvision says That’s like you setting up a lemonade stand for your kids. You buy them the lemons, sugar, cups and pitchers – and then buy most of the lemonade yourself.

The pressure is on Government Motors to appear financially strong as this may be the last earnings report before November elections and sets the stage for how “successful” GM is. One of GM’s past tricks to help fudge earnings numbers has been to stuff truck inventory channels. Old habits die hard at GM. According to a Bloomberg report,“GM said inventory of its full-size pickups, which will be refreshed next year, climbed to 238,194 at the end of June, a 135 days’ supply, up from 116 days at the end of May.” 135 days’ supply is huge, the accepted norm is a 60 day supply. The trick here is that GM records revenue when vehicles go into dealerships.
