Paul Ryan and Inner City Culture On Wednesday, March 12, the House Budget Committee Chairman, Paul Ryan said on the Morning in America radio show , “We have got this tailspin of culture, in our inner cities in particular, of men not working and just generations of men not even thinking about working or learning the value and the culture of work. There is a real culture problem here that has to be dealt with.” He is absolutely right! But, this man who was a candidate for vice president of the United States of America in the 2012 election; this snot-nosed, immature, slow and late bloomer in life, his high degree of intelligence and education notwithstanding; either has no clue as to the real causes of this problem or is disingenuous to we the people whom he serves, just another servant of our Shadow Government by the Power Elite. It is a fact of life that there are those among us who are sucker’s, leaching off the rest of society who work and are self-sustaining; so let us agree on that and put it behind us. As we come to that understanding, however, let us also understand that these people exist among the rich as well as the poor and those in the inner city ghettos. There are bottom feeders and there are top feeders. Just as the bottom feeders capture our welfare dollars, the top feeders steal from all of us through rents, corporate welfare, and tax avoidance and evasion. They downright refuse to pay their fair share of taxes in accordance with their ability to pay. On August 8, 2013, I wrote in this blog a posting titled “Our Underclass–The Bottom Feeders”, in which I discussed in detail, the bottom feeders and the top feeders in our economy. Scroll down to August 8, 2013, and you will find it. Next, everyone should understand that our inner city culture is composed of whites and Hispanic peoples, as well as blacks. No one has a monopoly on this, their numbers notwithstanding. Again, on March 4, 2014, I wrote a posting to this blog titled Our Underclass in which I emphatically stated that our underclass must be eliminated to the fullest extent possible–certainly not by genocide, but by helping them to help themselves thereby upgrading their status in society up into the middle and upper classes. I made several recommendations for accomplishing this. Again, scroll down in my blog to March 4, 2014. What has really angered me about Paul Ryan’s statement is the horse’s mouth from which it came, Paul Ryan. That man, a responsible leader (I should say irresponsible) in our House of Representatives completely ignores the causes of our problems in the inner cities, the ghettos. In fact, he has, in conjunction with his cohorts, done everything possible within the realm of his responsibilities to suppress the people (call it the 47%, the 90%, the 99%, or whatever) of this country into poverty. What has he and his partners in crime done? They have forced cuts in spending in the middle of this recession (or depression–ask Paul Krugman) when we should be increasing spending to stimulate the economy and put people back to work. You immediately point to our giant deficit and national debt. Where do you think our deficit and debt came from? When Jimmy Carter left office, our national debt was under $1 Trillion. I submit to you. That is as close to zero as we will see in the next several generations. When George W. Bush left office, 28 years later, our national debt exceeded $10 Trillion, an increase of 1,004%. Bill Clinton reduced our deficit to zero, with a surplus forecasted for years ahead. Alan Greenspan was even worrying as to how he could manage monetary policy without a national debt for support. And what did his cohorts do with the help of Paul Ryan? They spent money like a drunken sailor on shore leave, literally exploding our national debt. This isn’t prejudice or bigotry I’m expounding, folks. These are facts. And why did they do it? I now submit to you my opinion. They wanted to enrich themselves, the rich, at the expense of the poor. This should be obvious to all. All one has to do is look at the exploding inequality in income and wealth within the past thirty years. Next, they wanted to put our nation on the verge of national bankruptcy so that our nation would be forced to the position of where we now are–force us to eliminate Social Security, eliminate national healthcare and Medicare, eliminate welfare, food stamps, and the public safety nets in order to reduce our deficit while, on the other hand, maintaining a defense budget greater than all the other major nations in the world combined. Do you think not? Aren’t these items discussed daily in the news media? It appears these people, including Paul Ryan, actually believe this world was made for the sole benefit of the Corporatocracy and Power Elite. Also, I haven’t mentioned in this posting the unnecessary closing down of our government at a completely wasted cost of $28 Billion to the taxpayer. Oh well. Just charge it. We cant help our poor, but we do have money to burn. I can’t close this out without mentioning the huge spending of Barack Obama. Far be it for me to defend him–he doesn’t need me, but what else would one expect with the carryover of such an immense deficit, the deepest financial crisis since the great depression, jobs and money being outsourced to slave labor abroad , twenty million unemployed or underemployed, forty-seven million on food stamps, millions sleeping in cars, on the streets, or under bridges, another twenty million committed to privatized prisons, and the minority leader of the Senate vowing to defeat every program which he, President Obama, would set forth–not to mention half the world hating us, the result of an “us vs. them” foreign policy. Are you kidding me? Surely, no one as smart as Paul Ryan can be so ignorant. I can’t believe it. But, what is the other side of the equation? He certainly isnt representing the people.
