Steve's barking I maybe crazy but sometimes I'm wrong, but I maybe right

The numbers are in, the private sector created 198,000 jobs in Feb ( per ADP). Some of those jobs were in construction. (Results from hurricaine Sandy, ya think). Retail positions also increased(this was before JC Penny said that it was eliminated gobs of jobs). These numbers seem to be biteing me in the a##,after all in my world government creates jobs and the private sector follows suite.
Maybe I'm just thinking wrong, didn't the government give money to help rebuild after that dog Sandy. (Construction jobs). Retail heads looked around and said the Tea Party isn't that crazy they kept much of the Bush stimulus package( keeping the lower taxation for the 98percent).
Now these numbers seem to give credence to the fact that the president ain't that bad when it comes to the economy. The crazies are going crazier, I'm surprise that they don't accuse ADP of conspiracy to cook the numbers on behalf of their old boss Frank Laternberg.

Funny thing how one department store chain claimed they had great numbers the past quarter, I seem to recall going into one of their stores just before Christmas and had no problem with crowds as I had in the past, and I've been told by others that they had the same experience in other stores by this chain.
Perhaps it was the long Chistmas season.

I sure wish that Koch industries hadn't screwed up Georgia Pacific, they used to have great paper products. Kinda wounder about their non consumer products?

Steve's barking at something's don't change with time

The other day I was home watching a sit com Barney Miller from 1979.
One of the prisoners was complaining about those people who get food stamps and the rich who have there damn tax breaks. What's the middle class suppose to do?

What we have here is middle class envy, of the cookie by the cream (or what ever that filling is) in an Oreo.
I for one don't envy the rich, too many of them sound paranoid. As far as those on food stamps 99 present of them are poorer then church mice.

Steve's barking at giving the people what they want

I don't understand what the fuss that the Republicans are saying about the sequester, it's exactly what they asked for. There are no new taxes and there is a one percent spending cut.
You Republicans can't have it both ways.
You conservatives are luck I'm not the president for I would search for the place that hollers the most about about the need to cut spending, closing a national park in that area, cutting the civilian work force in places like Fort Knox, trying to spare those areas that don't have representatives that don't believe in draconian measures. The fact of the matter is the whole country doesn't have to be effected by the sequester and it's could be used as an experiment to see what will happen in areas that have no federal government interference with federal monies as against the rest of the nation. These areas shouldn't be hit hard with unemployment, for after all there representatives claim that government doesn't create jobs private enterprise does.

Steve's barking at why the budget is like buying a house

There are many economist who I have the utmost respect for who make the claim that the budget can't be compared to what happens in a house budget. Now there are many people who have a degree (maybe even a PHD) in economics whom I have the most contempt fore that claim that we can compare the US budget with a household budget. In my bizarro world, I like to compare the US budget to buying and maintaining a house.
When the average person buys a house they put a percentage down and get a mortgage to pay the rest. In our budget process we have tax receipts to cover our down payment and we borrow the rest, just like one does with a mortgage. In hard economic times generally the interest on the mortgage is low, same is true with government bonds. Now in the in the past wages have gone up in the average American household to more then cover the interest rate and the principle (this is important). Because of the growth of income taxes if stayed the same would more then cover what we borrowed in the past. We have constantly cut taxes there by cutting our chances to pay back our debt. This is kind of like what the average American home owner is up,against now, income is going down and it's harder to keep up the mortgage payments. Now some of us our lucky we have money in the bank which we can use to pay the mortgage, or even better yet we have a rich uncle Fed, I mean Fred who we can borrow from, and because he has us in his will paying back that loan isn't a top priority. Those of us who aren't so lucky can possibly get a second mortgage. Now isn't that what our government does.
Now there are certain things that owning a home needs to be done. The boiler might brake down,
The roof can come off during a wind storm, termites, water damage. The smart homeowner takes care of these problems right away, buy using the surplus income, borrowing from Uncle Fred, or getting a second or third mortgage. Shouldn't our government think the same way.
Now I understand that there are many a person who believes that the government borrows too much, my question to them is, do they tell that to themselves not to buy that summer home with a mortgage and or a new car on time payments?

Steve's barking at NATO troops in Athens

As of 2/25/13 Greece seems calm. It seems that Greece is taking austerity in stride. Now judging from history one can easily say that when work can't be found and it's hard to buy food and keep a roof over one's head revolution isn't far behind, and if not revolt at least riots.
Elections in counties that have dire economic(?) conditions, things like fascism and communism and other crazism happen.
Now will NATO do if there is civil war, or just plain riots in Greece? Why of cause NATO will send troops to Athens, if only to protect the banks money.

Steve's barking the tea party wants us to be vegans

The Tea (Republican) Party wants us to be vegans.
How do I know.
Well I've been reading about this thing called sequester, and how because of of no agreement budget cuts come into being. One of the budget cuts means the department of agriculture will have to furlough meat inspectors. Without meat inspectors meat can't be shipped. Meat can't be shipped we turn into vegetarians for a week(those of us who didn't stock pile meat in the freezer).
The speaker of the house (a republican) claims that it's the presidents fault, though clearly the constitution that all monetary bills comes out of the house not the executive branch of government. Because much of the house is run by the Tea Party branch of the Republican Party, it's not a stretch to say that the Tea Party is making us become vegans for a week.
Oh do I feel the pain of the local resteraunts who may just lose some meat eating customers.
