Something huge and horrific just happened. I’m betting you don’t know about it. We “borrowed” over one trillion dollars last week to pump into the banking system, then “borrowed” another one trillion dollars this week to buy toxic assets. I mean, what’s a few trillion dollars between friends, right?

The big problem, besides spending all this money we don’t have, is that the world is tired of lending us money. Let the Beefboy repeat that… THE WORLD IS TIRED OF LENDING US MONEY. Get it? We now have bad credit with the world. So, maybe you’re asking yourself how we “borrowed” two trillion dollars over the past week. We didn’t. We’re printing it. We are “buying” our own debt. It’s called “monetizing the debt” and it’s bullshit.

Have you ever written a bad check in the hopes that you would get the cash in a day or two and make a deposit before the check cleared? The United States of America just did that… with TWO TRILLION DOLLARS! That’s on top of all the previous trillions of dollars that we’ve begged, borrowed or stolen since last September.

The amount of printed dollars in the system is expected to rise 500% in the coming months. Ben Bernanke wants inflation in the worst way, and Beefanatics, he’s going to get it! This has been tried before and it’s never worked. Germany tried monetizing the debt during the 1920s. Argentina did it in the 1980s and Zimbabwe did it this decade. It’s never worked before. You can’t spend your way out of a depression! Hello! Is this thing on? What makes the dumbshits in Washington think they can rewrite history? Or do they really want us spending thousands of dollars on a loaf of bread?

These idiots are playing with our future, and ironically, it’s the same people who caused the problem who are in charge of fixing it. If that doesn’t scare the shit out of you, nothing will.

Yesterday, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (and his boss President Obama) asked Congress for more power to control companies that have nothing to do with taking money from the government. Basically Geithner wants to take over insurance companies and hedge funds that become “to big to fail”.

I have no problem with more oversight in the industry (AND more oversight on the actions of Congress for that matter), but the absolute last thing this country needs is some nutsack bureaucrat telling private business how to operate. In fact, we need to be “discovering” new and exciting ways to get government the fuck OUT OF PRIVATE BUSINESS!

The arrogance and ignorance of Geithner to ask for MORE POWER, when he’s already giving us the high hard one with the power he has, is extraordinarily amazing to the Beefboy. How long is it going to take us to realize that nearly all of our problems originate in government? Remove government from everything besides defending our borders, defending the rights of the little guy and shaking hands with foreign dignitaries, and this country will excel beyond your wildest dreams.

The Beefboy is struck by the idiocy of three stories that are currently circulating around the media. The first story is about Christian Bale getting mad at a cinematographer because he wandered into a scene while they were filming. Alex Rodriguez admitted to taking steroids… yes, we’re STILL seriously talking about steroids in a children’s game. Finally Michael Phelps took a hit off a bong.

What connects these three stories? The fact that NO ONE CARES! An actor said fuck 89 times on a movie set to an adult and apologized to the guy later? Who cares? A-Rod says he’s sorry for doing what everyone else did nearly a decade ago? Who cares? Michael Phelps got caught on camera relaxing with friends? Who cares?

No. Seriously. WHO FUCKING CARES?!!!

Actors and athletes shouldn’t be role models to start with. In each of those stories no one was harmed, each were shown to be human and perhaps (perhaps) at a low point in judgment. It’s astounding that with everything that’s going on now (do I really need to give you the list) that these three stories get more than a passing mention, a chuckle and then are forgotten. It’s an indictment on the public zeitgeist that stories like this gain so much fucking attention. 

Stop it! Stop consuming this bullshit!!! Focus all your attention on CONGRESS, who have just fucked you up the ass with absolutely no lubrication whatsoever! You are being hypnotized by cotton candy news while your liberties and your possessions are being stolen by your government! 

Can I make this any more clear for you?
