The Inflationary Noose Gets Tighter

The world’s financial markets have been manipulated in such a way to hide the fact that they really are a house of cards that could collapse at any moment. Fractional reserve banking is nothing more than one big Ponzi scheme. The inflationary trends we are seeing are tied to the decisions of government ever since 1933. Contrary to what we are being told Inflation is a direct result of the dollars devaluation by means of over inflating consumables for the sole purpose to garnish windfall profits. It these profits that in turn generate stockholder dividends. It is this cycle that continues to drive up prices. Thus, the inflationary trends only continue. The price of energy has always tied itself to inflation. When the price of energy increases so does practically everything else

When we look back in history and the second industrial revolution oil was the prime source of fuel. And today oil is still the prime fuel source for our energy consumption.  The United States still relies on 80% of all our energy needs on OIL. From the very beginning the pioneers of big oil conglomerates like Standard Oil and Shell Oil made it possible for the auto industry to become one of the major players of economic growth in the 20th century. Even today the industrialized world relies on oil as their major source of energy. 

Sure, we have come a long way since the first Model T rolled off the assembly line. We now have to look at what our current Administration has done in regard to the rising inflation and the subsequent financial and economic crisis that is plaguing not only the US but all of Europe and Russia. When Russia had cause to invade Ukraine the US and NATO refused to broker a peace. And the continuing crisis in Ukraine has caused undue hardship for all. The Administration being as irresponsible as ever to the welfare of the American public and that of Russia has crippled both economies. 

When we evoked sanctions all they have done is drive up the price of everything, further incised Russia’s resolve to further escalate the Ukraine conflict and caused horrific collateral financial and economic hardship for millions. What needs to be done to reverse the travesty that our present Administration has done is revoke the sanctions against Russia, open up the North American oil pipeline, impose a modest windfall tax on oil profits. These measures will restore modest relief from the pain at the pump millions are facing today.

There are other measures that must be implemented. Due to the inflationary trends that just keep getting worse has been the result of our elected official’s avoidance, in acting on the behalf of the American public. It is in regard to housing that has created another major crisis.  The American Dream is just that, a dream. For many that dream has turned into a nightmare. 

The housing crisis has hit every city and town all across the country. The prime reason is that so many rental properties, mobile home parks and housing developments are being taken over by residential real estate conglomerates. And like big oil conglomerates price increases are linked to share holder dividends and profits. And since the majority of states have not imposed rent controls it is fair game for these residential real estate holding companies to raise prices. And in many instances have raise them so much that they are forcing millions out into the street.

To remedy this crisis what needs to be done is impose state and federal rental limits based on incomes. The federal government already has set requirements for rent prices based on incomes. The biggest hurdle is that to many elected officials haven’t been really concerned to pass legislation based on these set guidelines. HUD has provided income limits and rent limits based on the SHIP and HHRP programs for each state. When these guidelines are actually implemented millions will be able to finally see some financial and economic relief, substantially ease the homelessness crisis as well.

The failure to address these issues amounts to gross dereliction of duty by every member of Congress and the present Administration. This is especially true concerning the horrific volume of gun violence and Mass murders that are now a regular occurrence. It really is a no brainer that to ease this senseless slaughter just pass this crime bill.

It is now necessary to implement this crime bill to eradicate the senseless tragedies that have griped this nation for far too long. To achieve this requires a national commitment from the NRA, gun owners and every citizen to understand that semi and fully automatic assault weapons have no place in American society. This is by no means an infringement on the 2nd Amendment but a national awakening that for far too long we have allowed the use of these weapons to commit atrocities that should have never occurred.  Yet if we continue on this state of denial another tragedy such as this most recent one in Texas will occur again and again. 

The sale of semi and fully automatic weapons is now prohibited, No longer will the American citizen be able to purchase any sort or caliber of semi and fully automatic weapons. A buy back initiative from local law enforcement for those who already own such weapons will help eliminating these weapons from falling into the wrong hands. Furthermore, gun owners will now be required to register their weapons into a national data base stating date of purchase, address, where they are kept, and pay a yearly registration fee of $1000 for each automatic or semi-automatic and assault type weapon.

To further promote safe gum ownership all gun owners, sales of non-semi or automatic guns or rifles will require microchip technology to be either worn or implanted int the palm of the hand of those who purchase any sort or type of non-semi or automatic weapons. For existing gun owners, you are now required to reregister you weapons and have a microchip for the sole purpose that only registered gun owners with a matching microchip will be the only one capable of using that weapon.

Today, we have to understand what the 2nd Amendment actually implies. It states a well-armed Militia and today that is the state’s National Guard. With so much going on in the world the American citizen does have a right to own a gun or rifle but not the right to acquire semi-automatic and assault weapons that are designed for one purpose only. We have to eradicate from society the temptation of some to acquire semi-automatic and automatic assault weapons to commit the atrocities that have taken so many lives.

Implementation of this crime bill is a major first step in reducing the likelihood of another senseless act of mayhem from ever happening we will save lives. And for the moment this is what really matters when this crime bill is implemented. And now when Congress is still unwilling to enact a crime bill to stem the tide of rising atrocities across this country shows how one dimensional their mind set really is.

When countless acts of wonton mayhem still occurs of the magnitude of this latest school shooting in Texas one dimensional thinking just won’t cut it. There are ways to avoid such tragedies now and in the future, but it takes into account many facets of our society and economy. First, we have to acknowledge that there are millions of guns of all calibers, semi automatic hand guns and automatic assault rifles already owned and out in the streets today.

Secondly, to put a number of mentally unstable individuals in the US today let’s just say the numbers are increasing. Governmental policies since the mid 1980′s have relinquished responsibility in taking care of the mentally handicap. As a result, in trying to take up the slack school systems have been overwhelmed along with family support systems. 

Finally, we have to consider two factors that are interconnected. One is in education and the other is the economic and financial stability of the family unit and the country. Both have been subjected by governmental policies that have for years dismantled the quality of education and the economic structure of our nation to where today both are in the throughs of collapsing. Millions have been denied the opportunities for enrichment, growth, and nurturing characteristics that would ensure a stable and secure society.
