Steve’s Barking; Will the price of gas and oil fall for Europe?

 The question is will Canada and Mexico discount.the gas and oil  for European Union countries because of the illegal tariffs that the U.S. had put on it. Selling their oil cheaper to the European Union would be a win, win for the U.S. southern and Northern neighbors, plus the European Union. 

 Why the U.S. would help Canada , Mexico and the European Union find new markets for their products is beyond my feeble mind.

Steve’s Barking; Why does Trump think he’s Joesph Stalin?

 If one was to compare what the president of the United States has been doing, you would have to look no farther the Joesph Stalin, purging justice official he see as disloyal, the same is true for military brass and even civil servants. 
 One thing I have to take away from the first week and a half, we don’t have a free market capitalist in the White House, but a corrupt soviet official.

Steve’s Barking; An uncalled for possible US healthcare fix

 Oh no this buffoon blogger had a couple of crazy 🤪 ideas 💡 fix.

(1) We need limited profit or non profit healthcare insurance  like we had when I started working.

(2) If government helps fund new medicines it should get a percentage of the profit which it would give back to the tax payers in the form of off setting the price of the drug. ( B) Perhaps the government should give bigger tax incentives to keep the price of drugs down.

(3) Government should mandate a minimum number of beds the hospitals need, and if the private sector cannot do it the maybe 🤔 government should build more hospitals. Private hospitals should also be a limited profit enterprise.

(4) Government should offer no interest loans to those going into the medical profession especially for Doctors and Nurses. Perhaps even help offset the cost of education for Doctors and Nurses.

Steve’s Barking: Did the United States Vote for 3rd world status?

 Whoa is us. We might be getting an anti-vaxer, making us venerable to Diseases as third world countries. It looks as those the United States will be run by edict as many of the third world is. It appears that we are afraid of open commerce with the rest of the world, just as the third world counties are. Why do we want a devaluation of our currency just as some of our South American neighbors did. We don’t want to build roads, we want to close hospitals, we don’t want to have an adequate amount of doctors, sounds third world to me. We’re talking of cutting social programs, were the poor will stay poor and be poorer as though we are in a race with third world counties who can do the least  for the majority of it’s population and keep the poor, poor. We’re turning our civil service from a meritocracy to a loyaltocracy ( I just made that word up). The civil service system isn’t fitting the needs of the country now and there are those who want to have less people in civil service making it a third world civil service.( It wouldn’t surprise me if you have to bribe to have things done like changing your Social Security Status)

Steve’s Barking: Always looks at the bright side of life 😃

 Ah the U.S. has a new old president. I am one of those people who says whoa is us. But, and this is a big but he is not listening to the old leadership that has maybe put my country in a malaise condition. It’s unfortunate that some if not all have no experience at the job that they are commissioned to do. As much as I fear that it all seems that we are headed to a new Middle Ages I have confidence that a much higher power will see us through. What this intrepid bloggers is really trying to say is put a smile on your face and do a little jig and always look at the bright side of life as Monty Python said.

 If I had one question to ask the current the current president I would ask him if he owned the Jets what would he do to make them a winner again?

Steve’s Barking; Pay half a trillion for to develop a cancer drug while hiring an anti VAXer

 Please, please tell me why the president proposes that we spend a half trillion dollars to develop a cancer treatment vaccine and at the same time nominating JFK Jr an anti vaccination advocate for dept of health and human services. Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy 🤪.

Steve’s Barking; Salt water, Fresh water, Austria, Marx

 How many times do hear from somebody, believe me I’m economist.What they don’t tell you is what economic school they are from. Each one of these schools has a different idea from statistics ( sometimes the same statistics) on how the economy should be run. 
 Me being the most cynical skeptic I take all those economic projections with a ton of salt.
 Do I think that the United States is in a ton of trouble economically, you better believe it, but I believe from my own rational thinking. Now I’m pretty sure the various economic schools of thought will disagree with me, even the one who think that the United States is in big trouble as I do will disagree with me ( huh ).

Steve’s Barking; The Gulf of Goo

 Ah my president wants to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. He kind of thinks that it would somehow bring pride to the United States. Well calling this body of water the Gulf of America while  screwing with the mind of everybody who knows geography might also be wrong because that would include South America, which as I learned in my geography class doesn’t touch the Gulf.any how if he wants to bring pride to the U.S. why not call it the Gulf of the United States. Personally if you are going to screw with everybody’s brain why not call this body of water the Gulf of Goo for every oil well in the Gulf that leaks and every tankers that’s grounded.

Steve’s Barking; Canada and Mexico safeguarding their border with the United States

 It has come to my attention that Mexico and Canada are both hiring new border security enforcers due to the fact that the expected hordes of people from the United States trying to escape in the next 6 to 12 months Trumps’ America, due to extreme poverty and draconian policing.

Steve’s Barking; Pay as you go Social Security!

 In seven years give or take a year the Social Security trust fund will run out of money. When (not if) it runs out of money it will pay 80 to 70  % of what is promised to the Social Security recipients. Personally it would take a proximate 6% of my income give a percentage up or down. I think of it this way it’ s as if I was taxed at an extra 5% on my present income ( some may say my math is wrong, but I’m taking into account that my income therefore my regular tax would be less).

 Because the trust fund will run out of money and the so called peoples representatives cannot agree on  how to replenish the trust fund the  government of the United States  Social Security trust fund will not be part of the government’s debt. 
 (1) The government will no longer have to pay the short fall that it’s paying now, there by increasing the amount that it has to use from the general funds
(2) The Social Security trust funds should no longer be on the books as it is now as a debt.

 If one has “blinders” on this would seem like a good thing,  a way of reducing the government’s debt.
 It’s not a good thing, government may reduce the amount it owes on the books, but the amount of bankruptcies because of what seniors of America owe would raise. The amount that seniors and the disabled would be able to purchase would decrease. If the amount of purchases that seniors and the disabled can purchase decreases the amount of money that businesses can make decreases, with the possibility of bankruptcies would increase. That being the case the amount of taxes that is pulled in by the government decreases and the ability to pay for things like roads and the military also decreases.

* Social Security is not going away, if there is no trust fund which the government can use, Social Security becomes a pay as you go system. ( what ever the social security tax is the previous year is given out this year. And that’s a fact.
 

Steve’s Barking; Liberal states to join Canada 🇨🇦

 Psss did you hear the latest, the liberal states of Washington, Oregon, and California are going to break away from the United States 🇺🇸 . They can’t take it anymore, them damn so called conservatives are ruining it for everybody. The failure 😨 of inability to pass a national healthcare bill was the last straw, taking their queue from President Trump, instead of America taking Canada, these so called liberal states are demanding that the United States 🇺🇸 lets them join the semi socialist country of Canada. Of course the  liberal North East corridor of the United States is looking 👀 t see what those states rights central government is going to do.

Steve’s Barking; Too many black people in America have mental chain

 It is this blogger’s belief that a major part of the reason that Black Americans have a harder time in this country is because of the mental chains that they have. You know whites are not going to let you thrive. They are going to hold you back. There is no way that a Black person can get ahead in life(even though there is more than enough proof that this isn’t true).
 It could be said that there are many in the Black community who benefit by putting these mental chains on a good many Blacks in the American community.
 At one point in American history if your ancestors came from Asia you would face the same discrimination as a black person, but instead of holding the Asians back it was used as an incentive to strive ahead.  This can also be said of Jews in the world.
 There is no reason  in my opinion why blacks in the U.S. can’t be as successful any other member of society as many 

 To this blogger there also seems to be in the white male community mental chains going up. 

 Rather then incentives to strive to be better then the competition it’s a blame game.

Steve’s Barking; Why should congress have government sponsored healthcare and not everyone else

 Aren’t you just mad that congress has government sponsored healthcare and the rest of us , or at least most of us don’t. Just think if those on Social Security would no longer have to pay for Medicare part B, gee that would put almost the amount that those who want to put an extra $200 into the Social Security recipients account. And not only that if you put the fica money that would be used for Medicare into Social Security it may even sure up the Social Security trust fund. So let us all get congressional medical insurance. It’s only right.


Steve’s Barking; Ignore the Tik Tok rulling

 The congress set the rule that Tik Tok must be sold or go out of business which is their prerogative under the constitution. The president can ignore as I said understand it as he is the enforcer under the constitution.

Steve’s Barking; Credit cards , or no interest loans.?

 I’m among the 50 Americans who carry no debt on my credit card. I buy things on credit which, if you think about is a loan from a Financial institution. Not only that the financial institution Actually gives me money to borrow money, Now, how crazy is that?  The financial institution makes its money by charging the merchants that I buy things from so they’re willing to give me money to borrow to buy merchandise. So I think we who use credit cards And pay it off right away would be crazy not to use it to buy merchandise . So if you use this advice make sure you pay off your credit cards before the money is do. I know I pay off my credit cards as soon as I get the bill.

Steve’s Barking; Will congress do it’s job

 The House of Representatives is in charge of raising revenue. Who or what says so, Why the constitution of the United States says so in section 7 and 8(not the seventh  or eighth amendments as some slow person may look up). So  it’s not up to the president to raise or lower taxes it’s up to ta da congress. Will change congress do something it’s reluctant to do lately and that’s do it’s job by either passing a tariff increase or will it close its eyes and let the president do something that’s not in the constitution .

*************************************************************************************

Congress had let the past presidents do something that the constitution says it’s their job.

Steve’s Barking; America- Future to the back

 I look at what Donald Trump is saying about Panama and Greenland, and I’m reminded of my old history books and of manifest destiny.  You know 54 40 or fight and things like that. Ya like taking others land. Or as some people would say a sordid past of the United States.
 It even seems that President Trump is also Conjuring up Andrew Jackson, who fought with Congress, fought with the Supreme Court and did his own thing anyway. Oh yes let’s not forget that he also said that he was robbed of the presidency when he ran the first time.
 So, it appears that America’s future is in the past ( uh that doesn’t sound right, or may be it does ).

Steve’s Barking: Pray tell, how does AI make money

 This fool of a writer has no idea how AI makes money.
 Do companies have special advertisers?
 Do companies charge users to use the tool?
 Does AI steal from the users bank account?
 Is there some some other way it makes money that my feeble mind doesn’t understand?

I’m pretty sure that AI cost the company that creates it spends an arm, leg and a whole body to produce it!

 What is a country ?
 Does.a people that has its own tax system , its own judges, its own government its own army a country?
 Don’t  most cities have those things?
Does it have to be recognize by others to be country?
Is Taiwan a country? Do the Kurds have their own country. What about Palestine, is there a Palestine country?
What about Moscow, NewYork City and London are they countries?

This isn’t  a Blog with answers, this blog is one of a question that this writer wonders about.

Steve’s Barking; The worshiping of the Rich

 🛐 Do you realize that most people in the United States worship the Rich. 🤑 There are those who look 👀 to the real ch as being geniuses  even though it appears to this crazy 🤪 writer it’s better to be lucky then good. Ah but what about those who state Emphatically that those rich don’t pay their fair share. Now I realize that doesn’t sound like those who make these claims, don’t sound like they worship the rich 🤑, but if you listen closely you may hear the sound of envy and jealousy which too this writer ✍️ is almost the same as worshipping.

 Now we get to the fact who is the rich anyway? Is it the person who makes $400,000 a year? Not according to them, even though a large part of the population thinks so? What about the person making a million, is that the rich, though wow 😮 the vast majority of the population wish that was themselves .Is it the person who has share in stocks, that were worth next to nothing when they first got them , and now worth billions, Ah yes those lucky stiffs are multi billionaires. Oh don’t the *vast majority wish that they were them and for some strange think that these people are geniuses and worst think 🤔 that they can pay off the national debt. 💸 Now that in a perverse way that those who feel that way are worshipers of the rich 🤑. 

 I know that this writing ✍️ may not be understood by everyone, but so be it!
