Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Hello Chris,

I note your district has changed and we will have a new representative, both candidates being Democrats, as of a few years ago. Not much interest in deciding between fast or slow progress to socialism.

I wish you well as you reorganize.

As a parting thought, in response to your regular email posting, I suggest there is nothing government can do to create jobs other than to remove itself.  We are far beyond the use of band aids to stop bleeding in the tax base.

I see this every day as clients close their businesses because they can no longer resist OSHA, taxes, Obama care, Wormkans' Comp, and so on.  New York State in particular destroys start-ups and rewards large companies, the oligarchy that loves when start-ups get crushed. The same goes for national policy. There is nothing the government can do to change this other the long overdue sepaku.  Insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.

A small company cannot keep a lawyer, accountant, compliance officer on staff. Thus, only certain types of small, service businesses get started. Our vast legion of bureaucrats have never produced anything, met a payroll, or been threatened with ruin or jail by a clerk; all the while attempting to pay confiscatory school taxes so their children can be taught to be victims and dullards.

Business operators live in fear of the governments, their employees, regulators, and so on. The era of American ingenuity is over. The margin for profit is gone and remains under daily attack. You will see a diaspora of people close behind the flight of capital that is already happening. This happens even when there is deluded happy talk by the government though officials seem to think spin will trick people into staying to participate in organized theft.

Seven out of the top eleven states now insolvent are democrat, i.e. socialist. They are far more in debt than the red states. They do not care they are insolvent as they fully intend to take federal money (everyone else's) and to tax those evil rich people who earn $250,000 a year, like a Blimpie store. This is classic socialist transfer of wealth, which I mentioned two years ago when we first met. This economic chaos is not a problem to a socialist; it is intended. It provides a way to increase government. Their logic is, "So what, we borrow from ourselves?" The inmates are in charge, now.

Soon, we will see the necessary devaluation of the dollar which is how money is stolen from the working class to pay off government debt.  This is inevitable as it is thoroughly understood by people who can still read.  It is the long-pending plan of such folks as Goldman Sachs and their staff in the Treasury and Fed. Me, I buy junk silver. So, what is this talk about making jobs? More IRS agents, maybe.

In the end, economics will reset the entire nation; this is a sure thing and it is lumbering toward us. There will be a new economy based upon avoiding government which ends the era of the American community, though it will recreate local communities. I expect barter and multiple attempts to start new currencies and that the FBI will told to stamp out based upon exhuming a concept from the long buried Constitution. The FBI does have to protect Goldman.

If the coming change resets American thinking, this is another matter in light of the socialistic and insipid public schools. We are losing the traditions which made us unique, as we become like the Europeans. We can be like the English who kept doubling down on stupid.

Economics, however, can undo much mind control, when people cannot have a family or, for that matter, a savings account. There are three college graduates I know in Glens Falls who are happy to be serving coffee.

Perhaps, if there is a counterrevolution, the Constitution can be rebuilt so that its framework will again promote prosperity; it has a long way to go. We can restore, perhaps, habeas corpus, posse commitatus, personal privacy, property rights, the commerce clause, Congress acting according to the enumerated powers, returning the presidency to a republican concept, and restore the eligibility requirement to become president or vice president.  [See my brlief. :  http://wp.me/p2i3SD-6.]  I would love to repeal the Seventeenth Amendment, a brilliant maneuver by socialists.

Right now, my Constitution is a cruel poster paraded about to impress the distracted public. Talk about the government making jobs is depressing.  Anyway, there is no problem with jobs, just change the definition of unemployment.

Tax increase? Cut spending? There is not enough money that can be stolen or saved to meet our obligations. This talk is nonsense and both parties know it. People, now, know it, so the essential faith in the economic system is over; hence little investment, at least in the U.S. The stock market is not the economy; mostly, it is a Ponzi scheme as people try to remain afloat upon an unsettled lagoon about to undergo a tsunami.

I recall reading that if you took all the money of the 1 percenters, that would not cover a year's obligations. This may be a mistatement; it is hard to know anymore as the numbers are beyond usefulness. We owe, as a people who have vast, future entitlement to meet on top of actual debt, more money than exists in the world. So, cut spending or raise taxes? This is a mutually agreed upon propaganda campaign.

Mass illusion not only exists, it is used and promoted by those seeking power and economic oligarchy.  As a retired officer, I am sure you have taken note of the massive purchase of weapons in the last two years. Many are, now, aware of the illusion and the quest for centralized control. The millions of new gun owners are not "kooks." The recent assault on the First Amendment increased the tension. Bad times are going to settle upon the nicest of towns.

I fear for us. We are on the edge of anarchy and the anticipated use of martial law; yet, our leaders believe they can continue to get away with talking gibberish. The hollow words will fade into history, but that history will see significant, uncontrolled change.

We are going to have "change" and very soon. The KGB thinks the result will be four new nations, the left and monied interests see a new command and control oligarchy, Muslims see a new caliphate in the future, and our current ruling class sees some sort of return to making so much money that we will return to Happy Taxland. That way, we can afford to blow up new countries.

What Americans foresee will become clear in November.

Update from Washington
Dear Friend,

Last night, the House of Representatives finished legislative business for the week, beginning the start of a district work period.  I am looking forward to spending the month of August in New York, where I have a schedule that takes me across the 20th Congressional District.  Events include county fairs, tours of local small businesses, a disaster recovery update in Prattsville, and a follow-up meeting on broadband in Columbia County.  I hope to see many of you during my travels.

Before I left Washington, I had the opportunity to vote on an important piece of legislation.  H.R. 8, the Job Protection and Recession Prevention Act, extends for one year current tax rates and other tax provisions, including the child tax credit, the alternative minimum tax (AMT) patch, the estate tax, and marriage penalty relief.

Creating jobs is my number one priority, and enacting comprehensive, pro-growth tax reform is essential to that goal.  In March, I voted for the Cooper-LaTourette Bipartisan Budget Proposal, which I believe lays out the principles that will grow our economy and create jobs.  Our current code is complex, burdensome, and unfair. We need to commit to closing loopholes while protecting middle class deductions and lowering tax rates for all.  We need to give our local businesses and family farms the ability to continue to expand and hire more workers.

As we work toward that goal, we must protect Upstate New York families from facing higher taxes at the end of this year.  Additionally, across my district, a number of small business owners and farmers have shared with me the impact higher taxes would have on their ability to sustain and grow their operations, particularly in these challenging economic times.  For these reasons, I voted for H.R. 8, which extends current tax provisions for one year - giving us the time necessary to advance pro-growth reform.  H.R. 8 passed the House by a bipartisan vote of 256-171.

Although I am glad the House acted on preventing tax increases, I am disappointed that the House of Representatives has not yet considered a full five year Farm Bill, which the House Agriculture Committee passed in a bipartisan fashion a few weeks ago.  While not perfect, the FARRM Act contains a number of important provisions that will assist local family farms struggling with profitability.  Importantly, the bill overhauls the safety net program for dairy farmers, encourages the growth and sustainability of local and regional agriculture and organic farming, protects conservation programs, and helps beginning farmers access the capital they need to enter the field.  We also reauthorized the broadband loan program with some improvements, which my amendment was able to save funding for last year.  I signed a letter with 76 of my colleagues urging the leadership of the House to bring the Farm Bill to the floor, and will continue to advocate for passage when we return in September so that Upstate farmers get the assistance and certainty they need.

As always, please let me know if my office can do anything to assist you.                                                                                                        
                                                                                                              

Sincerely,
(signed)
