The Breet Report

Money Buddha by Peter Griffin at publicdomainpictures.net

You are a taxpayer.  I am a taxpayer. We are all the lovely taxpayers that the have a stake in America.  Yes…we are invested in America.  What a great way to look at living here, uh?  Well, $98 billion dollars (1) has gone the way of the do-do bird, because no one (again) has been morally, or ethically, unable to keep their hand out of the cookie jar.  Why do they get paid the big bucks again? Ha!

Okay, so the report (yet again) is out today saying there has been a lot of mismanagement with $98 BILLION dollars. (1)  Yesterday, CBS did a nice little minute and change pointing out of this fact, which is what sparked all of this I’m sure.  (The video is not available for uploading, sorry.)

Do Americans feel they are in the wrong business?  Correct me if this is wrong but the average person goes to jail for counterfeiting, right?  In essence, the boys that printed this money and have unaccounted for dollars, which could suggest a counterfeiting operation.  Oh…Or is there really a secret government that needed to be funded? Wonder where a base could be…maybe south?

Look – HOW the heck do you lose, rather have “improper gov’t payments,” of $98 Billion dollars?  (1) See, NASA is taking a lot of heat right now for blowing up $78 million dollars on the moon.   NASA is fighting for another $18 million to keep a space program going for the next year — one year.  The average American is starving, unemployed, and (nine times out of ten) homeless or just about there.

Transparency only means shutting down the population by any means necessary. This appears like a tightening of the ranks.  I mean WE – the population/citizens/by-standards didn’t lose $98 Billion dollars, we just have to pay it back? How? Jobs? Production?  What happened to this great nation and do right by the people? …… This I’m sure is echoed a lot more out in public…..glad I don’t pigeon hole myself….LOL…I better remember to duck though!

Over the course of the last ten months, there is a friend of mine that has diligently given their two-cents in providing their point of view for different bills before they are passed in The House, or Congress.  Within those last ten months, there have been responses for acknowledging their concern (and/or venting) about, “why are you even considering this [insert action here]?” The part about being able to “voice public opinion” and create “transparency within the government”  thing, is killing me inside with laughter.  (Sad, but true.)

Voice

The voice of the people have clearly stated, Americans are tired of the political, and corporate capitalism that has shaped our nation.  The greed factor has pinched the nerve of every citizen that (and I quote from the many politicians that have said this), “did the right thing by paying their bills, playing by the rules of the/their system, and (now) on hard times.”

The greed factor is not an original observation – not by a long shot.  Every respectable person has pointed this out, and screaming for reform.  The voice of Americans that are facing (rumored) layoffs and sinking accounts – are still wondering about their voice in all of this.  Those individuals and others, the voice of Americans, are even using these pre-defined letters for The House and Congress; thus, getting back pre-defined…rather… automatic letters.

Automatic Letters

The voice of Americans have been reduced to automatic letters.  The representatives (in having read one of these letters) is still completely unaware of their constituents voice.

This automatic letter system is a sham. (That is only an opinion.) Americans are lead to believe that their representative has taken the time to read, and RESPOND KNOWLEDGEABLE – giving them false hope of their voice being heard.

Thought

Seemingly (or “transparently“), better action is forming to “restore” many aspects of a system that has had known problems.  (Take a pick of aspects, bank regulation, energy regulation, health care reform… and a gigantic list of known problems.)  Americans representatives have had to answer “tough questions” when it came to re-election time; yet do nothing to effectively correct issues for the voice of Americans, when/if re-elected. Let’s face it, most the representatives just kind of expect to win. Have there been the beating of hoofs on the campaign trails in their home state? Nope. Just signs.  Here is the thought in a nutshell….

How is the voice of America being heard?

Are Americans nothing but automatic letters?
Are Americans nothing but data figures on a business portfolio?
Are Americans really nothing but sheep with a number?

Ending this Observation

These are the questions that should be asked when Americans are deciding their voice.  Again, let’s face some facts, Americans are described in sorts of colorful language nowadays.  Decisions made on behalf of the (supposed) collective voice have taken situations from bad to worse.  The inability of fair communication, representation and/or transparency has even given some (as seen in the world of blogging) a sense of “giving up on America.”

Americans, just because the voice is not working right now, does not mean the original design of the system, to project the collective voice of Americans, doesn’t work. It does. It has. It will again.  The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus, and other documents used to keep liberties, and even greed in check, does work.  Do not give up on being a collective voice.  Do not give up on America.  Do not give up on the fellow man, woman, or child, in this country; America is worth it.  Hope. Liberty. Freedom. All of America is worth it, however, not at the reduce rate of being an automatic generated letter.

Being able to have credit, is a good thing – right? I mean, you have to have credit in order to get anything in today’s world.  Everyone wants to evaluate you by the numbers game.

The credit laws that are going into effect coming next year are designed – supposed to be designed – to protect consumers.  Well, if anyone out there is still looking to use that piece of plastic – better read the fine print – STILL.

Everyone is learning now about how hard it is to get credit nowadays or for that matter how to curb usage and live within their means.  The industries have been in play for a long time and solving one issue, while not addressing another is not going to work.  (This means, jobs are going to be scarce for awhile longer.)

The big issue most are finding out about, now, relating to credit is: if you don’t have good credit, you are probably not going to get a job.  If you can’t get your credit right, because you have no job, most are declaring bankruptcy.  So, where is the other problem that is leading to this bigger problem?

The credit bureau agencies are the bigger problem.

In the field of observing, reading, and learning collections, it is way too obvious that methods for ratings have not been changed or “better transparency” has not happened.

Fixing one aspect of a problem – will not solve the bigger issue for those that like credit.  The best way around it, so you are not just a number, do away with the credit and live a month ahead.  Simple.

What does this accomplish? A simple way of living – more food on the table – and less worry.  Plus, you will not contribute to the plastic waste that pollutes our environment, reduction of energy (because you are living below your means), and money in the bank.

If you ain’t got to start off with, then you didn’t need it to begin with.
