Steve’s Barking; I fear for my country’s future for I know what I would do if I was President.of Mexico

 The country that I love, my country the United States May have just given China a major base in America, by way of Mexico. Now I maybe wrong and I pray that the Mexican President doesn’t think like me and she doesn’t do this, but I because her country doesn’t have an Air Force,I would invite China to set up airbases in her country as a deterrent against an arrogant neighbor to the North who has threatened my country With economic sanctions, etc.. Now there hasn’t been a military action in over a hundred years and we’ve had rather peaceful relations with each other but I would look to the North with some weary eyes, because my country has made threats against it’s other border neighbor Canada ( even if it’s in jest, it’s still a threat.)
In my mind if I was the president of Mexico I would welcome the presence of a foreign power country because of the belligerence of my neighbor to the north.
I really don’t know what Madam President of Mexico would do nor do ai know what China would do, but in my mind I think that that both countries would consider it very much.

* This may seem like just another incomprehensible blog, but I’m stating one of my  many fears for the United States.

Steve’s barking; What happened that conservative Republicans belief in states rights

 WTF happened to Conservative Republicans claim that the Federal Government should stay out the business of telling local governments how to run their affairs. Tell me why the federal government is telling NYC it must end congestive pricing! “ Is it that Donald Trump isn’t a true new conservative. Maybe the federal government should stay out of the business of RED states only .  Perhaps the conservatives are just a bunch of hypocrites or only conservatives when it comes to their own states.

* I wasn’t a fan of congestive pricing, but that’s definitely not the Federal Government’s business.

Steve’s Barking; It’s not rocket science, The US economy is going down the tubes

 You don’t have to know much about the American economy to know that it was in reasonable shape compared to what it going to be in 9 months or sooner. Hell when you cut jobs those people people don’t buy products. The makers of those products have to make money therefore they have to layoff workers, who in return have to layoff more workers. 

Oh least we forget many of those workers will not be putting money into the stock market, or the bond market , either as a simple investment or part of their retirement portfolio. Don’t you think retirement stability in one’s retirement portfolio will decrease. What about the price of borrowing, you think the price of borrowing would be higher making it unaffordable to borrow for most.

 Oh what about those who already have borrowed and no longer are working, what will happen to the banks? Will there be a shortage of money to borrow even if you wanted to borrow.

 The price of goods will also go up due to taffies and the consumer will not be able to afford what they can afford at the present time.

 You think that by cutting the size of government you would reduce the debt, well busters think again, it will only make the debt harder to pay, think, less workers, less tax payers, less money.

 Less money in circulation especially with consumers, the less is earned, the less that’s earned, the less taxes taken in.

The enemies the United States couldn’t have done better then to have the present government in place for the economic destruction of the United States

 Thank you freakin traitors!!!

 

Steve’s Barking; America’s new DEI

Steve’s Barking; Another reason not to buy Tesla

 I know that many would not buy a Tesla because of Elon Musk, well I’ll give you a better reason in my mind, how can you buy a car from a car maker that the factory workers are over worked and the quality inspection appears to be laxed as to spend as little as possible. One might say Tesla’s motto is safety last.

Steve’s Barking; Be careful of the undertow (current US economics)

 When you look at the water in the ocean to go swimming it looks peaceful but when you get into the water there is an undertow that pulls you out can even drown you.
 Why do I state this, to me it’s a metaphor of what’s happening with the economics of the United States and especially the stock market.
 At the present time things seem good, even though in the past several days the US stock market has fallen. 
 The UNITED STATES in its wisdom (stupidity) is laying off government staff thinking that it will reduce the debt. Looks good on paper unfortunately in real life it’s a disaster. Why do I say that? You taking money away from the people who buy stocks and goods and services. Less money in circulation at a time when the consumer is having trouble to pay its bills. What do you think is going to happen if the government workers can’t pay their bills. Will they stop buying because they have to conserve their money and those in the stock market have to sell. Do you think that maybe the stock market will go down? Do you think that maybe buying of goods and services will go down? Do you think That the lack ofbuying of goods and services by ex government employees will be hurt the economy? Do you think that maybe non-government employment will go down for the lack of purchasing by ex- government employees?
 Is it possible that that we in the UNITED STATES face a 10 to 20% unemployment rate?
 Is it possible that there will be a major shortfall of tax revenues making the American deficit will get even worse then it is right now?
 Do you think maybe laying off government employees is a very slippery slope?

Steve’s Barking; VP Stop complaining about freedom of speech in other countries

 Oh my goodness VP Vance complained about the lack of freedom of speech in Germany because she of speech suppression of right wingers by the government, while his boss wants to suppress 60 minutes and the exaggerated in chief is suing advertisers for not advertising on his platform. There are threats to take the licenses of those broadcast companies that don’t parrot the line, and who say something negative about  the president. Oh and let’s not forget President law suits who sues every time somebody say a negative thing abut him. So VP Vance if your looking to complain about freedom of speech look at your own country and your boss.

Steve’s Barking; Let’ s save money by giving back moneyπŸ€ͺ

 What the heck is the head of DOGE talking about. The exaggerated in chief says that he found money enough to give each taxpayer $500 or is it $5000 I can’t remember, any how, the exaggerated in chief says that he found enough money to give back money when the United States has more then doubled it’s debt. Now I maybe crazy πŸ€ͺ but don’t you think it would be wise to pay down the debt for future generations then temporarily pay a bribe to say how wonderful this administration is and still keep the same debt. Giving away money doesn’t seem very efficient to me.

Steve’s Barking; With friends like the U.S. who needs enemies

 The U.S. is telling countries that were in my lifetime to be our friends, our partners, and even our lovers to kick rock. You can’t be independent, you must do as I say. If the United  States is so great it can take a little inequality from our weaker economic and defensive allies, if it’s just a mediocre power maybe you show it by bullying your friends and allies.

 Mediocrity in nations tend to show up by bullying, just look at Russia.

 Donald Trump seems to like mediocrity for he thinks that bullying is a sign of strength.

Steve’s Barking; It’s a Mad Magazine World ( spy vs spy)

 Ah the good old days of my youth when I was a devout reader of Mad Magazine, especially spy vs spy. Well guess what the Cold War is supposed to be over, yet spy vs spy is still here today and we are figuratively blowing each other up. Ah but it looks like the Russians and the Chinese got the upper hand and the United States has been infiltrated in the highest parts of government and is literally blowing itself up. While there technically is no longer communist the old cold war nemesis still have the old mentality and infiltrated the government so that the United States is in a self destructive state.

Steve’s Barking; Worry me not US debt.

 Oh πŸ’© The  United States debt is 35 trillion dollars, give or take a trillion. And oh my Children owns $800,000,000,000 of it give or take a billion. Oh my that’s less then they owned before the pandemic and when the U.S. debt was a 1/3 of what it is now. Oh my China’s going to bankrupt the U.S. Or at least that was what I heard from some so called experts.  

 The United States debt is out of control, just like the wealth of the tech billionaires. Just think the so called wealth of the tech billionaires quadrupled or more for some of those tech billionaires. Hmmm πŸ€” I don’t seem to hear oh πŸ’© how can we sustain the out of control billions that are quadrupling. The experts don’t seem to be worrying about the pet rock assets worth going to the moon πŸŒ™ and beyond.

 To be honest the real problem with the economy and the debt is the firing of government workers and the lessening of disposable income. When not if the U.S. goes into recession or worse taxes will not be paid , really weakening the ability to pay off the debt the government owes itself.

Steve’s Barking : At the office of Government inefficiency

 The United States in the past several weeks has created a new department. DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT INEFFICIENCY or DOGI. The head of this Debacle is the greatest con man of this century. This con man claims that he found a 155 year old receiving Social Security, of cause he said this with out any proof. A whole group of people believe him. DOGI has hired some first time workers who have no experience in anything who may or may not totally destroy America by letting crooks and adversaries of this nation vital information. Ah but this is what we voted for. 

 In case you think I’m joking about the department of government inefficiency try getting in touch with Social Security in the near future. When the farmers need aid and they are slowed  by the inefficiency that become because the lack of workers.When the hospitals close down because they aren’t getting their Medicare and Medicaid on time and the same is true of Doctors who aren’t able to pay their bills.
 Most people I know complain about government red tape, now we’re really going to be stuck with it for the lack of people to process it. 

 What about when disaster strikes, and we need money to rebuild and there’s no one to give it to us because we become a cheep nation and not wanting to have people to process claims, Some people will say that’s a good thing, less money the government has to pay out.

 While I’m ranting about  government inefficiency, what about our the government arm forces, possibly having to go all over the world to intimidate those who don’t see things the president way. Are there really enough troops?

 Is the United States going to become the next Soviet Union for inefficiency or worse?

Steve’s Barking; Is the U.S. afraid 😱 of competition?

 Is the U.S. afraid 😱 of competition. Out side of Tariffs being an illegal tax ( because the constitution says taxes should be proposed by congress not the president) it is also a form of protectionism. The problem with that in this we have either no factories or factories that are so old that they cannot produce the things in adequate amounts and Adequate quality. The United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ didn’t keep its factories 🏭 modernize. The fact of the matter with robotics and shipping the United States manufacturing could probably produce goods that are just as cheep as the Cheapest manufacturing goods from other countries. The problem with tariffs is that they would make goods From other countries, more expensive, making goods from the United States more expensive, not better. I’m a firm believer. That competition makes things better because it forces manufacturers to think and produce better.

Ah another In comprehensive blog from Steve’s barking. Good thing no body reads it.I probably could,ale a much better cases why posting taffies is bad for America’s manufacturing.

Steve’s Barking; The death of medicine

 It has come to my attention that there is such a thing as bird πŸ¦… flue. So far it’s only effecting the egg πŸ₯š production but eventually it will effect the chickens πŸ“ that we boil for soup. Now everyone knows that chicken soup is the best medicine πŸ’Š for what ever ails you. No Chickens πŸ“ no soup 🍜. No chicken soup, moneymaker of the best medicine for what ails youn will be no more.😊

Steve’s Barking; Who is Israel’s worst enemy?

 Who is Israel’s worst enemy?
 Is it those who call themselves Palestinians?
 Is it the so called left anti-semites?
 Is it Iran?

 I know that no one is going to believe this but Israel’s worst enemy is itself.
 The Netanyahu government was on the verge of  Collapse  until Hamas attacked it n Oct 7th.
  Total nationalists want to annex almost all if not all of what is called Palestine, if you are the majority would you want your son or daughter to military service in a hostile environment.
 The majority of Israeli’s pay for the welfare state of  the so-called orthodox minorities, would the rest of the world tolerate that in their own countries.
 A large minority of Jews look down at other Jews.
 There seems to be an inordinate amount of corruption in the government, that a major reason a lot of Israelis are anti Netanyahu.

 The question is, if there wasn’t so much anti Israel sentiment and open hostility against Israel, would Israel be a viable country?
 Would there be a civil war?

Steve’s Barking; Is the American banking system in trouble πŸ‘Ώ

 I was just wondering is the American πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ banking system in trouble. After all the consumer has more debt  then in it’s history. How is the American consumers going pay off it’s debt if the prices of everything goes up and their income stays the same, thereby leaving Their discretionary income lower. If the consumer’s disposable income goes down how are they going to put money into the bank. Less money in the bank the less that can be lent. The less money that can be lent, the less money that business can borrow, the less money that businesses can borrow the less money they have to invest in their businesses never mind their employees. Is there a good chance that the money that has been lent out by the banks will not be returned. I think so. Does this crazy blogger think that there’s a good chance that much of American banks will run a negative balance, the answer is yes. If the banks run a negative balance the banking system is in big trouble.

Steve’s Barking: Why the super rich in the United States are in trouble!

 Oh damn, another stupid statement from Steve’s Barking, how the heck can the supper rich whom everyone knows run the United States be in trouble? Well let me put it this way, most of their money comes from assets. Their assets are only as good as the people have discretionary income. Tariffs take much of that discretionary income away, thereby weakening the real value of those assets. There is also a great possibility that because discretionary income decreases the ability of investors to invest in the super riches companies decreases. There is a great possibility of that investors may also decrease their holding of stocks to become more liquid, that will also decrease their holding the value of the super riches stocks will go down.  There is also a great possibility that many of the companies that rely of imports will not be able to meet their obligations thereby reducing the amount of money that banks can lend cutting what the so called super Rich’s money that they can spend.

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

 This blogger thinks that there is too much emphasis in the media of the kiss a** corporate chiefs being with the president, I see it more like let’s not have the government do too much damage to their companies and  thereby by their wealth.
