The war with ISIS is going pretty well, if you are in the ISIS army that is growing by more than 3,000 fighters per month. The bombing campaign is weak, at best, and now ISIS is looking like it will take the border town of Kobani despite the 14 reported airstrikes by the U.S. Yes, you heard right, just 14 reported air strikes, and that just isn’t doing much to stop the terror army of ISIS. It appears to me that President Obama is not serious, and he is doing exactly what he said he would do and that is to “manage” the situation. Who knows what he is thinking, but he continues with a plan that even his own generals in the Pentagon say isn’t working, and remember, this army is growing by thousands each and every month.
Finally, how many times have you heard we are in a “recovery”? Every week, the main stream media is cramming the phony good news down our throats. Oh, it’s a recovery for Wall Street, but not a recovery for Main Street. Now, they want you to think that the debt problems of the U.S. are getting better when just the opposite is the truth. Look at this headline from an AP story in the local newspaper, “U.S. Budget Deficit Falls to $486 Billion.” The story says, last year, the budget deficit was “$680 billion.” What’s the real story? According to folks like John Williams, the real total deficit was “$6.8 trillion.” Yes, I’ll say it again, $6.8 trillion. David Stockman, the former White House Budget Director, says the U.S. needs to roll over around $8 trillion in debt. How long can we keep acquiring debt and commitments that we NEVER intend to pay back? Who know, but this is not going to end well for most Americans.
