Steve's Barking; Germany how dare you?

Germany how dare you have a health care system that is has not for profit insurance companies that premium are paid by the state.
France, and you Scandinavian countries have mandatory paid maternity leave, how dare you?
All you European countries with big unions to help the working people, how dare you?
All you countries that have businesses that pay workers a partial salary even though their not working, how dare you?
The United States doesn't have those policies, therefore the United States should pay only half of what it does now for it's part in the NATO partnership.
Do you realize how ridiculous the above sentences are? They show a sign of jealousy on the part of me, and therefore I'm making a ridiculous demand.
This is the same as I feel those Europeans are making demands on Greece about it's pensions.
Economics should never be about jealousy.

Steve's barking; The Cowardly Lion Syndrome

I' m worried, a new disease has befallen this great country America.
The name of this disease is called the cowardly lion disease.
Many of our business leaders are suffering from this disease. They can't seem to stop blaming our government, and or government regulation for their short falls. Now they have a problem finding the courage to make better products, use the small regulations to their advantage, and to actually do some work.
Others who have come down with the Cowardly Lion syndrome are politicians who blame the emasculated unions for their own incompetence. Do unions have lot and lots of money. NO!
Is it legal for most civil servant unions to strike. NO! So Governors like Scott Walker must be suffering from Cowardly Lion Syndrome.
I can't imagine some one like Scott Walker going against Putin. We would be in real trouble.
Getting back to my blog, As of this moment there's no cure for the Cowardly Lion Syndrome.
One can only hope and pray that it's not lethal after all it's only a syndrome.

Steve's barking; What is the IMF?

Greece is in trouble because it didn't collect enough taxes for the promises it made to it's workers for when they retire.
Greece is bigger trouble again because of non compliance of taxes that it can't pay back what it borrowed.
Now this thing called the International Monetary Fund or IMF for short will not lend Greece any more money ( even though that's the purpose of the fund) unless Greece destroys it's economy by cutting promised pension. Not explaining how retires will buy the excess things like food.
Now one would have to question what's the purpose of the IMF if it thinks it's a good idea to destroy the economy of a nation.
Maybe the IMF should stand for International Morons foundation.

Now I understand that part of my taxes is us for the IMF( .000000001 cent). I kind of wishes that wasn't so.

Steve's barking; Fed, please don't do a thing

Because I live in the real world, and not in a statical make believe world, I'm begging to the fed don't do a thing. Don't raise interest rates. Don't look at those statistics that employment is rising. Pay is going up ( Raising minimum pay would do that).
To be honest in the real world the fed rate should be zero. Raising the fed rate is inflationary in it's self. Putting it in simple real world terms the cost of money goes up. If the cost of money goes up, that cost would most likely would be past on causing real world inflation ( ever so mild if interest rates are low).
Real world inflation is caused by supply and demand.
What's not inflationary is what ever the traffic can bare, even though the cost of items can go up.
In the hypothetical world if the price goes up some one will produce a cheaper version.
This used to be the case until some one discovered the phrase patent infringement.
Now for those who haven't followed this blog, the real world inflation is the price of housing in various parts of the country that go up, plus the price of food, there's bad drought in the food producing parts of the world that causes the supply to dwindle. Real world New York has greater inflation then let's say Birmingham Alabama, and nothing the Federal Reserve does is going to change that.
My reasoning is at the present time there is nothing the the Feds can do to help the economy, but it can sure mess it up.

Steve's barking; Lets slow down the internet

It's become so easy ( for some people ) to hack into our computers and computer networks
I just came up with this crazy idea of writing programs that will read for information that tells the computer to give up information that's not part of the system.
Programs that wouldn't allow personal information to leave the computer unless it has a correct IP address attacked to it.

Easiest and cheapest way to keep our grids safe is to limit access by strictly only allowing a small number of portals that can talk to one another. If communicating from satellites everyone would know.

These suggestion are not complicated and they're not connected to antivirus, anti malware, and anti spyware currently being used ( To the best of my knowledge).

Slow down we move too fast.

Steve's barking: We're all corrupt

We're all corrupt.
Think not.
Have you ever cheated on a test at school?
Tipped a maite'd for a better table?
Dressed in a way that you would not normally dress to get into a night club?
Lie on your resume?
If your a woman flirt with a police officer not to get a ticket?
Buy a police sticker to put on your window of your car not to get a ticket if stopped by the police?
Brow beat an opponent to win an argument, even if the brow beating has nothing to do with the argument?
Take something from the office, because you need it at home?
The prosecutor who threaten the defendant, with destroying their family, Rico Laws, or with holding information from the defense?
The News Media that doesn't check it's sources, or tells lies, or makes things up,just to keep it's readers, listeners, viewers interested, isn't that a form of corruption
When the Founding Fathers of America almost to a man called slavery an abomination (you can look that up) and still many still kept slaves because slaves equalled wealth, isn't that a form of corruption?

Yes we need to even the playing field, but were all corrupt one way or an other.
