As the world turns, so does our money:

As the world turns, so does our money:

Today’s title means many things, but in the world of politics it is the accepted way of life!

As you know, Dominic Strauss – Kahn, the Head of the International Monetary Fund, is under arrest in New York City on attempted rape and assault charges. Kahn was a Presidential hopeful in the upcoming French elections. Kahn was running on the socialist ticket and was responsible for many of the European bailouts that have resulted in billions of dollars wasted in lost efforts by the IMF.

The United States has given the IMF 100 billion in just the last year alone. The 100 billion comes from the tax revenue that we donate every year to our treasury. The 100 billion dollars goes to support the lavish lifestyle of this socialist. Kahn has many luxury homes around the world and was staying in a $3,000 a night luxury suite when the alleged attack and attempted rape occurred. Kahn has had two other known allegations of this type in past years.

Kahn, a multi millionaire in his own right, was living off our money and the rest of the world’s money. What ever country gave to the fund, he was living off of. A man with the title he has can take advantage of the many perks that the IMF obviously gives.

Someone told me yesterday that they were surprised that he was staying in such an expensive suite and that he had many homes around the world. They were surprised that he was so generous and was charged with these crimes. As this one person said “he did such great charity work!”

The information coming out of the delegation that John Kerry is presiding over in Pakistan is alarming. In a statement, a government source said they are alarmed at the type and scope of the nuclear style military facility that Pakistan has built in the last three years. Yesterday, I wrote about Pakistan’s nuclear program as being the worlds most advanced and fastest growing in the world. Our government said they don’t know how Pakistan was able to pay for it. Did we just find out that the United States has given Pakistan 20 billion dollars in aid over the past ten years? I don’t wonder at all how they were able to pay for it.

It never ceases to amaze me that there are these types of abuses and these types of men who, without any conscience, can take advantage of a maid or of an entire country.

And so goes the money! This week our country has reached our debt limit. This week, our country, in essence, does not have any more money to spend. This is not such a bad thing, because if we don’t have it to spend, we can’t borrow it. If we can’t borrow it, we must start to live within our means. Even if this is for the short term, it is still a good thing.

While both parties are making their debate rebuttals about raising the debt ceiling we must consider one thing. The money that is spent comes from us. I know that this is a tired worn out theme, but now is the time to contact your representatives and tell them not to raise the debt ceiling. Tell them to live within their bloated budgets and tell them that the organizations like the IMF and countries like Pakistan can save us 120 billion dollars. This is a start down the road to recovery.

I know there are a whole host of political implications of reducing our funding for organizations and countries like the two I have mentioned today. I know our money buys some protection and security. However, when you have a socialist and what ever kind of leader the Pakistani military has in place, in the long run, they don’t provide the security and protection that we think we are buying. In the long run, our interest and our money are being wasted. In the long run, assaults occur not only in foreign lands, but in our own backyard by a socialist that wanted to be the president of France.

The main part of the problem that I see is, like our own government and the many people that serve it, they are unaccountable. The main part of the problem, as I see it, is that we hand out a blank check with Uncle Sam’s signature on it knowing that it is helping to perpetuate corruption. The main part of the problem, as I see it, is that we don’t require the accountability that these sums of money require.

As the world turns, so does our money!
