Want proof the World Wide Economic Crisis is still in full bloom?
England is telling Scotland they are on their own.
LONDON -- Breaking up is supposed to be hard to do – but Britain's government confirmed Tuesday it would happily offer Scotland the powers it needs to sever centuries-old ties to England.
Prime Minister David Cameron's government said it would sweep away legal hurdles to allow the Scots a vote on whether their country should become independent for the first time since the 18th Century Act of Union, which united Scotland with England to create Great Britain.
The end of the British Empire, officially.
Don't hold your breath when Northern Ireland and even Wales get the same offer.
In the mean time, I see Washington D.C. wants to become the 51'st state, yet again.
Good luck with that, they can't even afford caviar in the White House every other Thursday.
If William Wallace could find enough body parts to get his hands on both of his balls, there would be a huge party in Scotland.
Apparently, I am only Double Irish because my ancestors got driven out of Scotland back in the day.
It gives me a visceral grin to see Britain have to give up skimming all the sixpense and Quid from the Scots in taxes and have to cut the cord to save their own asses because of the few greedy bastards who are in cahoots with the greedy fucking bastards on this side of the pond.
The Scots are in a tragedy financially but if they can gain independence and survive financially, there will be Hell to pay.
Hell.To Pay.
If Greece can pull it out, sure as shit, the Scots can and like I just said, there will be economic warfare coming to London such as they have not seen since the Blitzkreig of 42.

Feeling Rich These Days?
One in fifteen Americans are now classified as being the poorest of the poor. That is over twenty fucking million people in a country of three hundred million
400 families in this country control over forty percent of the money available to spend..
Do some basic fucking math.
Top Ramen must be booming.
People wonder why there are protesters in the streets.
Apparently having lobster delivered to your front door with a side of quail wings just don't fucking open your eyes to the family's across town who are skipping meals so that the kids have something to eat.
Oh hell no, they notice.
They also give millions of dollars to their local politician to make sure that school lunches and breakfasts have their funding cut because we just can't afford that shit.
They also cry about those protesters to those same politicians to keep them out of their gated community's.
I remember when my parents split and me and my brother had hot dog buns with ketchup and mustard for dinner and called it pizza.
I also remember just after that when I was nine fucking years old and taking care of my little brother and making sure he had a bath, washed his clothes and made pancakes as big as a plate for him because he didn't like little ones.
I am no stranger to these things and I damn well thought it should get better if ya worked hard and played by the rules.
Guess what, there are no fucking rules if ya are lucky enough to have parents that make two hundred and fifty fucking grand a year.
The rest of us can suck the hind tit.
If you don't know what that is, you made too much fucking money.
The old saying is that money doesn't buy happiness but it damn well will if you have enough I see.

Top Ramen must be booming.
About 20.5 million Americans, or 6.7 percent of the U.S. population, make up the poorest poor, defined as those at 50 percent or less of the official poverty level. Those living in deep poverty represent nearly half of the 46.2 million people scraping by below the poverty line. In 2010, the poorest poor meant an income of $5,570 or less for an individual and $11,157 for a family of four.That 6.7 percent share is the highest in the 35 years that the Census Bureau has maintained such records, surpassing previous highs in 2009 and 1993 of just over 6 percent.Broken down by states, 40 states and the District of Columbia had increases in the poorest poor since 2007, and none saw decreases. The District of Columbia ranked highest at 10.7 percent, followed by Mississippi and New Mexico. Nevada had the biggest jump, rising from 4.6 percent to 7 percent.

Occupy Wall Street Goes Global
Good.
It isn't like the only crooked banksters are indiginous to New York.
It is a world wide web of theivery and I am glad to see this gain strength and momentum.
As a matter of fact, right about now, my 74 year old father should be in downtown Vancouver Washington attending the protest there.
I am so proud of him.
Good on ya Pops.
If it weren't for the fact I wanted to come see the wife for a conjugal visit, I would have been standing right next to him.
Some things take precedence ya know.
All I know is what I have read as I have been sporadicly keeping up with these events but I can see at least three things.
One, it is working.
Two, there have already been changes come about politically, the PTB's are pissing down their legs because of the above point.
Three, it is bringing people who would never normally come into contact with each other close together and they all have found just how many of us are out there and Boy, Howdy, are we pissed.
All of it good, except if you are one of said Bankster or one of theirhired
paid for political lackeys.
Fuck them.
So, keep the pressure on those sonsabitches and make 'em sweat.
Show them that the status quo is going to change and that it is inevitable.
When they start bailing out of the country, you will know it was all worth it.
Yes sir, we are coming for you fuckers and money won't save you, as we have seen all too many times over the course of this country, money can be taken away in a thousand different ways.
I first saw this over at my pals at Alternate Brain but I swiped it from another awesome dude, my pal Monkeyfister.

It's Time For "That" Talk
Ok, now that everyone is snuggled in their own little bunkers and I have seen the stories of the shelves in every store being empty, it is time to say, we told you so.
Not that I ever, ever wanted to see something like this happen but here it is and don't you feel just a tiny bit bad for chasing around looking for D batteries at the last second?
I can't begin to count the times I have seen people roll their eyes and look down their noses at "Preppers".
Not quite as stupid as you thought we were, are we?
I feel bad for folks that are staring at the weather event of their young lives with no fucking clue where to go or what to do.
I just had this conversation with my new wife, I have been dancing around the topic for quite a while now, she has a pretty good idea that at least some form of supplies are in her future.The first thing she asked me after I brought it up again was whether or not I have a dehydrator.
Told ya she is a keeper.
I love her dearly and before we got married her excuse was no where to store anything.
Ahem.
Even in an apartment, there are places to store some survival supplies.
Now every Tom Dick and Harriett on the East Coast just figured that out.
My heart goes out to those just figuring this out.
We still have no place to live together but just had a short conversation about this very subject.
As most of you know, I live in a 35 foot long Fifth Wheel Travel Trailer.
I had a guy build me a pantry out of a closet that I have no idea what the original intent was for. It is right next to the fridge in the kitchen area.
At one time, I had enough food stored to last me six months, easy.
Where I live, water is not that much of a problem in an emergency, The Columbia River is a mile wide and five blocks away with another, small tributary eight blocks the other way.
I saw another post today complaining about toilet paper. That is a biggie.
When you have ladies and young children with you, buy that by the truck load.
For those of you who are telling yourselves that I have never been through a Hurricane, let me tell you about the storms we get on the West Coast that qualify, they just don't get names.
I have been through storms with sustained winds of 125 mph before, tornadoes and Ice storms that shut down a city with a million people for days.
What I am trying to do is open up a dialogue with some folks who are getting a pounding and never thought it would happen to them.
It's only too late if you are dead.
I sure as shit wouldn't be ready for a major shit storm like what is happening back East right this second but I can guarantee you that I would be one thousand times better off than seventy percent of those who just sat on their hands, watching this blow right into their front yards.
Even without a major hurricane coming your way, just inflation and food shortages alone should make you look around and see if you can't find a way to put a little emergency stash away.
Take my word for it,come what may, it is a great feeling of security to know that if the lights go out, that you know you and yours are going to be safe, healthy and sound when the lights come back on.
You certainly don't have to be a full on Prepper but as they always say, the more the merrier.
These aren't weirdos, they are fellow Americans and they would love to talk to you.
They would love to show you how to throw a screw right back into your grocery store by using coupons and have a wealth of information gathered from friends and family, including the things our parents and Grandparents learned the hard way during the last Depression.
They still work folks.
God Bless ya and I am anxiously awaiting the safe return of some of my Blog buddies.

Nanny Remembers You.
I ain't talking about that lousy gift you gave her on her last birthday, either.
Wanna go out and tear some shit up in Brittain?
How about burning a bunch of stuff while yer at it?
Police use facial recognition technology to nab rioters .
Don't think for a minute that isn't being used here, either.
It's just one more way we have been ass fucked by the Patriot Act.
Get a load of this,
Now, go back and reread that.
Remember, this is England, the Crown Prince of the Surveillance States.
You can't wear a hat in a bar, they replaced all the glasses in bars with plastic, you can't own a gun without an extremely byzantine reason, like hunting for rabbits, and you had better have a rabbit problem too.
You can't have a knife, etc., etc,.
The number one seller on Amazon over there has been Aluminum Bats.
No fucking shit, sales are up 6,000 percent. I am surprised that Ye Olde Slings and Arrows aren't far behind.
Now, we all know the shit our country has been pulling, they can track your location by your cell phone, and do.
The all of a sudden legal hijinks that violate our Fourth Amendment rights has lost count.
They are after the First one and several more are now completely defunct, ask a cop, he will tell ya to your face, you have no rights.
Habeus Corpus, Miranda warnings, you name it serf, you have NO fucking rights.
Witness for yourself in case you have been living under a rock since 1967,
Wasn't that pleasant?
If you watch the TV show Cops, you ain't seen nothing yet.
I know, I am kind of veering off the origins of this post, but then again, I'm not.
The violence happening in London is coming here, mark my fucking words.
The difference is going to be that the violence and blood letting that happens here is going to be Biblical in it's proportions compared to this little Picaddilly in England.
Stay away from it at all costs.
They have surveillance cameras the size of a pin head these days and they are every where.
They will use the same technology to hunt you down and disappear your ass.
Been into a bank lately?
The government can find you.
I am not saying this country doesn't need a revolution, it does on a serious scale.
What I am saying is if you think you can just go ape shit wild and still sleep at night, those days are over.

Get a load of this,
Chief Constable Andy Trotter, who is helping London police in the wake of the riots, said the department's sophisticated software was being used to help find those suspected of being involved in the worst unrest London has seen in a generation.
But he cautioned that facial recognition makes up only a fraction of the police force's efforts, saying tips have mostly come from traditional sources, such as still images captured from closed circuit cameras, pictures gathered by officers, footage shot by police helicopters or images snapped by members of the public.
"There's a mass of evidence out there," Trotter said in a telephone interview. "The public are so enraged that people who wouldn't normally come forward are helping us — especially when they see their neighbors are coming back with brand new TVs."

I Wasn't Talking To You
The following was shamelessly stolen from Joel over at The Ultimate Answer To Kings.

He is right, it needs to go viral

The Great Rice Heist V2.0
Remember a couple of years ago when there was a big run on rice? People were buying rice like they would never see it again and I would bet money, all this time later, some folks still have 50 pound bags of rice sitting around they will never use.
Get ready for it again.
I ain't immune, I bought a bunch too, just in those little one pound bags.
The Japanese public eats a LOT of rice, as does most of South
East Asia and their fears of radioactive contaminated rice from the fractured Fukashima plant has them buying up old stores of last years rice crop because they saw what happened when their government let contaminated beef onto the market and was slow to contain that.
Remind anyone of some Mad Cow Disease?
I read something about a tent city that sprang up in New Jersey today too.
Fucking around with the rice in Japan seems like something you wouldn't give a rats ass about, if a butterfly beats it's wings in Japan and a tidal wave hits here a few weeks later, what in the hell do you think is going to happen if the rice supply is fucked up?
Their car manufacturing took a hit and that has already affected our economy, if you are paying attention.
Yeah, our drought, Europe diving into the shitter headfirst and this absolutely infuriating horse shit on our part that just got our credit rating down gradeded and I , for the life of me, want to strangle some ignorant fucking elected, AND APPOINTED officials by the the throat.
There is no rainbow, it is going to continue to get worse finanancially, and stupid shit like the availability of the people halfway across the planet to buy uncontaminated rice is going to have an effect on you whether or not you like it.
This ain't Kansas anymore TOTO but it sure as shit matters what the fuck happens in Tokyo more now than it did in 1943.
Radio active rice goes a long ways to fucking up a population that depends on it for a staple and I would bet you ten bucks our fucking government has a study somewhere proving that, with another alternate plan on how to do it again surreptitiously.
Better yet, let us old enough to remember Vietnam, rice paddy's deforestation on a massive scale and the nasty fucking thing that is still killing people forty fucking years later, our old friend, Agent Orange.
Get ready for it again.

Guess Who Just Blinked In The Debt Reduction Negotiations
That's right, John Fucking Boehner.
Let me clarify that for you, the republicans know damn good and well that tax hikes are not being taken off the table and now they are going into reconcilliation mode.
Well damn, color me surprised, not.
Fucking assholes.
Hey, when they go in shooting for the moon and demanding unrealistic concessions, get them, and are still not happy?
Fuck you.
Go to bed and you are not getting dinner you spoiled little fucking brats.
Now is the time to get out the switch and start whipping their asses until they scream for mercy.
Rotten fucking bastards were all too willing to let our government default on the debt that THEIR fucking party saddled us with and when it comes down to the perspective of just who is going to wind up with a flaming bag of dog shit in their hand if that actually happened,, they fucking blinked.
The official policy of our government is that we do not negotiate with terrorists.
As far as I am concerned, the Republican party most certainly falls under that category by definition.
So, now that Cantor, Boehner and the rest of their ilk have been holding our country hostage over these budget talks and someone finally clued them in to what might actually happened if we default, my money is on some fucking asshole in the banking industry finally putting some facts in front of their asses and pointing out some of the probable consequences if that were to actually happen.
This time, it wouldn't be just the poor and middle class who would be getting an uninvited finger up the ass and God forbid the rich should contribute to the cause, which is exactly why Boehner got trotted out for some negotiating finally.
Fuck you very much, peckerhead.
“Despite good-faith efforts to find common ground, the White House will not pursue a bigger debt reduction agreement without tax hikes. I believe the best approach may be to focus on producing a smaller measure, based on the cuts identified in the Biden-led negotiations, that still meets our call for spending reforms and cuts greater than the amount of any debt limit increase.”

The Fourth of July
Once again we have managed to survive another year since the anniversary of the Declaration of our Independence from Mother England was announced.
Today, we struggle to recognize what has become of such a remarkable struggle for our independence.
Our Bill of Rights has been gutted and our government regularly conducts business in direct violation of the Constitution that each and every public servant has sworn to uphold.
Illegal search and seizure is an everyday occurrence thousands of times a day.
We are not secure in our effects and papers, our very own government illegally spies on it's own citizens with impunity and complete confidence that there will be no legal ramifications.
Our Supreme Court of the land has given Carte Blanche to the business interests in this country when it comes to host of issues critical to the election of our representatives clear to and including allowing corporations with unlimited funds to spend those unlimited funds to literally buy legislation and the politicians who craft them with impunity.
Those same politicians are now sitting on their hands as we find the housing crisis is rife with fraudulent mortgages and millions of these fraudulent mortgages have thrown into question just who actually owns the title to these homes and people are being thrown out in the street.
Yet there is no rush to investigate and prosecute this criminal activity.
None.
Just as no one is currently sitting in a prison cell over the massive fraud and manipulation of our banking industry which nearly collapsed the entire world economy.
Our economy is in shambles and our elected officials are now playing a dangerous game of chicken over raising our debt ceiling, for the first time in our history, they are willing to completely destroy our fragile economy for political reasons.
Unemployment is still over nine percent and wages have stagnated for the last forty years, unless you happen to be in the top one percentile, which control twenty five percent of the assets in this country.
I sincerely hope everyone reading this has reasons to celebrate this day and gets to spend some quality time with friends and relatives.
BBQ is the order of the day for millions of Americans and the requisite fireworks display later this evening.
Our American Revolution is but a distant memory but we still have much work to do to right the wrongs that have come to dominate our existence as the greatest country on the planet.
I have been ranting and railing about the injustices I perceive to be thrust upon us by the very people who are supposed to have our best interests at heart for the last six years and I will not let these domestic atrocities go unnoticed and unspoken as long as I am able.
I am proud to say that there are hundreds of thousands, even millions of my fellow Americans that feel the same and call out misdeeds when they are exposed.
Accountability is a word that needs to be stressed repeatedly until it becomes a mantra.
The avarice and greed running rampant in our hallowed halls needs to be rooted out and exterminated if we are to survive as a viable country lest we become a nation of serfs doing the bidding of a select few who control who and what we see, hear, eat and drink and how we communicate amongst ourselves.
Have a safe and Happy Fourth folks.

Our Supreme Court of the land has given Carte Blanche to the business interests in this country when it comes to host of issues critical to the election of our representatives clear to and including allowing corporations with unlimited funds to spend those unlimited funds to literally buy legislation and the politicians who craft them with impunity.
Those same politicians are now sitting on their hands as we find the housing crisis is rife with fraudulent mortgages and millions of these fraudulent mortgages have thrown into question just who actually owns the title to these homes and people are being thrown out in the street.
Yet there is no rush to investigate and prosecute this criminal activity.
None.
Just as no one is currently sitting in a prison cell over the massive fraud and manipulation of our banking industry which nearly collapsed the entire world economy.
Our economy is in shambles and our elected officials are now playing a dangerous game of chicken over raising our debt ceiling, for the first time in our history, they are willing to completely destroy our fragile economy for political reasons.
Unemployment is still over nine percent and wages have stagnated for the last forty years, unless you happen to be in the top one percentile, which control twenty five percent of the assets in this country.
I sincerely hope everyone reading this has reasons to celebrate this day and gets to spend some quality time with friends and relatives.
BBQ is the order of the day for millions of Americans and the requisite fireworks display later this evening.
Our American Revolution is but a distant memory but we still have much work to do to right the wrongs that have come to dominate our existence as the greatest country on the planet.
I have been ranting and railing about the injustices I perceive to be thrust upon us by the very people who are supposed to have our best interests at heart for the last six years and I will not let these domestic atrocities go unnoticed and unspoken as long as I am able.
I am proud to say that there are hundreds of thousands, even millions of my fellow Americans that feel the same and call out misdeeds when they are exposed.
Accountability is a word that needs to be stressed repeatedly until it becomes a mantra.
The avarice and greed running rampant in our hallowed halls needs to be rooted out and exterminated if we are to survive as a viable country lest we become a nation of serfs doing the bidding of a select few who control who and what we see, hear, eat and drink and how we communicate amongst ourselves.
Have a safe and Happy Fourth folks.

It Never Stops
Tax breaks, tax breaks, tax breaks. That's all I hear in between the bed squeaking from the ass fucking we are getting at every other turn.
Unions bad, a whopping ten percent of the work force,Medicare,Medicade, Social Security, the Wic Program, unemployment, ad fucking nauseum.
Now Big Business is wanting to bring a few BILLION dollars back to the US and what do you think their demands are?
Tax cuts.
In the first place, American business are already sitting on ONE TRILLION dollars in cash, they are trying to claim their intentions are as pure as the driven snow and they want to stimulate the economy.
Why is it the back of my legs just got a chill like someone ripped the covers off?
Because they pulled this shit before.
The NYT actually does a good job of exposing their true motives and if you go read that article, I guarran-fucking-tee ya, you will be just as pissed as I am.
Lying, skeezy cock fucking suckers.
They want a tax holiday so they can bring that money back here and find ways to fuck us some more.
A tax holiday from a 35% rate on Billions, to down to just over 5%
And, you just know, those rotten fucking pricks win Congress will stick their hands out and be glad to help.

Sounds Familiar
Employee: "Excuse me sir, may I talk to you?" Boss: "Sure, come on in. What can I do for you?" Employee: "Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over ten years". Boss: "Yes". Employee: I won't beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have four companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first".Boss: "A raise? I would love to give you a raise, but this is just not the right time".
Employee: "I understand your position, and I know that the current economic down turn has had a negative impact on sales, but you must also take into consideration my hard work, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over a decade".Boss: "Taking into account these factors, and considering I don't want to start a brain drain, I'm willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra five days of vacation time. How does that sound?" Employee: "Great! It's a deal! Thank you, sir!"Boss: "Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?" Employee: "Oh, the Electric Company, Gas Company, Water Company and the Mortgage Company!"
All jokes aside, this is too close to the truth for too damn many people these days.

Our Insane Foreign Policy
Libya, I am sure have heard, is getting a pounding by us, France and some NATO forces.
Has anyone heard anything about Iraq lately? Afghanistan?
No?
What about that little dust up between the Koreas that we have our nose in?
That would be no, again.
here are some numbers of what this little fiasco we got in the middle of, courtesy of the LA Times.
Snip, my bold.
Anyone have any idea what that action alone cost?
Also my bold.
As for that last part, my question is, just whose back yard is this little soirre in, ours, umm, no.
That would be Italy, Spain, France, you know, the Euoropeans.
Just to drive my frustration home, they can't afford the bombs and bullets so we will.
10% unemployment here at home, Several million who have completely run out of unemployment insurance, 44 MILLION people in this country on food stamps, every damn state in the union except North Dakota running massive defecits but we can't do anything about that.
What we can do is give huge tax breaks to people who don't need them and run all over the Middle East swinging our dicks around and rain bombs and bullets down in staggering numbers.
In my opinion, it's pretty fucked up when our foreign policy takes precedent over our Domestic policy by a factor of four to one.
Something just ain't right there.

here are some numbers of what this little fiasco we got in the middle of, courtesy of the LA Times.
Sunday's attacks were carried out by 15 U.S. aircraft, including Marine Harrier jets deployed from an assault ship in the Mediterranean and three Air Force B-2 stealth bombers that flew the 25-hour journey from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri to drop 45 bombs, each weighing 2,000 pounds.
Snip, my bold.
Anyone have any idea what that action alone cost?
Meanwhile, the operation's costs are mounting. Senior Defense officials would not comment on how much the operation has cost so far, saying they were focused on carrying out the mission at hand.
But an independent report released this month by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments estimated that the no-fly zone would cost at least $400 million to set up, and up to $100 million per week to enforce. Each Tomahawk missile costs more than $500,000, bringing the total price for Saturday night's initial volley to at least $55 million.
Also my bold.
"That's what happens when everybody is cutting their defense: We are going to have to provide the majority of the resources," said Lawrence Korb, former assistant secretary for logistics under Reagan, who once called Kadafi "the mad dog of the Middle East."

Kind Of Hard To Vote When You Are Dead
Dude, take my advice and quit listening to Cheney's fucking energy task force, those rotten sonsabitches at BP and anyone else who is trying to talk you into cutting off emergency funding for heating supplements.
The timing on this is so fucking tone deaf it boggles my fucking mind.
Not only has there been record cold, snow storms and freezing in the North, Texas, The Midwest and every where else, there is more coming!
You have got to be fucking kidding me!
For once, I am almost without words.
Do this at your own peril. When people start freezing to death in sizeable numbers, it is coming home to roost on your doorstep, fucking idiot.
One term President would be the best fucking thing to happen to you.
Christ.

Off To Do Laundry
I would like to thank everyone who stopped by to wish me a happy birthday, that was nice of ya.
I had a fairly relaxed birthday, a bunch of company showed up out of the blue and my girl friends friend made hamburgers and such for every one, that was damn nice of her.
I am in full recuperation mode and am getting ready to head out with the honey and go do laundry and grocery shopping.
In the mean time, the shit is still hitting the fan in Egypt and even the King of Jordan has seen the writing on the wall and replaced his government in response to growing unrest over food prices.
Note that last bit, food prices, you are going to see more and more unrest over food prices.
That is because those same jerks who contributed to our current financial meltdown have decided to treat food the same way they do car sales.
Betting on this and that, buying futures up like candy and driving the final price of food up. Look around ya, the price of cotton is up over ninety fucking percent, one guy, ONE, bought up almost all of the cocoa futures. Bet money, little Ms.Swiss Miss, is going to have a sore ass here in the future.
Pay attention folks, things aren't just going to be ugly in the Middle east, here shortly, the mid west is going to chiming in too.
I keeparguing trying to persuade my girl friend into getting some grub put away for a little buffer but she is a hard headed Norse women and says she has to go into town several times a week any way and has no place for storage.
I got your hard headed and raise ya by an Irishman......

Taking A Break
I'm at Nasty Girls, watching movies.
I have been kind of keeping an eye on the shit storm going on in the Middle East but not real close.
That is some fucked up shit and that nasty little trick of shutting off the internet pissed off a whole lot of people who had nothing to do with the protests.
Smooth move, fuck heads, now ya pissed off everyone.
Pay attention to what is going on over there and remember, they don't even have a Second Amendment. Of course, they don't really need it.
They can buy everything from an AK 47 to a fucking rocket launcher if they have the dough.
Entire governments are getting their asses handed to them.
It is not without blood shed and violence but it is not anything near what it could be.

Starving The Beast Works
You know when the bankers are whining about people using cash instead of plastic, you have hit a nerve.

Italian Banks Upset with Level of Cash Use; Underground Economy 22% of GDP
January 4th, 2011
Via: Reuters:
Not.
So, the underground economy over there is estimated at 22%?
That is surely putting a crimp in those sonsabitch money exchangers wallets.
This is what we need to do people, starve those motherfuckers, make them pay extra because using cash costs them money. Besides that, the PTB can't trace the stuff. They can't search your electronic trail to see what you have bought at Safeway or whether you paid the neighbor to fix your car under the table or bought a couple of bags of potatoes from the local Farmers market.
Of course, they will try to find a way to get that money back, as we see here, by getting the government involved but hey, this little example of Fuck You, made my day.

Italian Banks Upset with Level of Cash Use; Underground Economy 22% of GDP
January 4th, 2011
Via: Reuters:
The Italian Banking Association has declared “war on cash” in a country where credit-card usage is less than half the European Union average, according to the Bank of Italy. The association, known by its Italian acronym ABI, says it costs banks and companies as much as 10 billion euros ($13.3 billion) a year to process cash payments, mainly in increased security and labor. Rome-based ABI aims to cut those expenses by promoting electronic payments with credit and debit cards and wire transfers in both the public and private sectors.My heart bleeds for those scum sucking asshole bankers.
“Italy urgently needs these changes to catch up with other countries like France, which has allowed non-cash payments for public services for more than two decades,” said Rita Camporeale, head of payment systems and services at ABI.
Italy’s culture of cash is deeply rooted. Italians are the euro region’s least-indebted consumers and among its biggest savers, according to 2009 Eurostat data. Companies often pay salaries in banknotes to evade taxes, particularly in the country’s southern region, where organized crime is prevalent.
Not.

Helicopter Ben Must Be Shitting His Pants
It's one thing to just try and print money out of yer ass trying to save your banker buddies asses and keep the dollar afloat, it's another thing when the printing presses fuck up.
1.1 BILLION dollars of new hundred dollar bills are slated to be destroyed because of a printing press error.
The new bills are very complicated to prevent counterfeiting.
Don't ya just hate it when your get away car stalls?
No wonder his lip was trembling at his interview with 60 minutes the other day.
I watched a documentary one time one what it takes to print money, it is a HUGE undertaking.
There ain't no Xerox involved.
The only, and I mean only, good thing about this is that they can re use the materials that make up the physical cloth/paper that they use to make them with. They will dump them back in a pot of boiling water and chemicals to get rid of the ink and turn it back into the raw material they use to make paper money with and start over again.
Somebody's ass is going to be in a sling in the mean time for this monumental fuck up.

I Hope They Made More Money Than I Did
If this is any indication how competent our government is, we are SO FUCKED.
No wonder the Repubs want to get their hands on our Social security, it would be too fucking easy. Billions of dollars that we now don't know who gets what, if we even live that long, but you are more concerned with what porno sites I am looking at?
Jesus fucking christ, what a bunch of fucking DUMB ASSED, STUPID SONSABITCHES!
Yeah baby, Bookmark this site I was just at, look at those cans!
Ohh baby, want to get on an air plane? Hold still or we will put you on a No Fly List as a Domestic terrorist.
Bring me that little boy.
You, with the big breasts, you need to come over here for some special lovin', I mean, "enhanced body security search", or what we used to call, give you a couple of bucks over a beer while you gyrated around a brass pole on a Saturday night, except there was this big dude in the corner who would wrench your shoulder out of it's socket as he threw your ass out on the curb if you dared to touch that lady.
Now they molest little kids in the name of "Security"
Keep your Social "Security" Number straight? You ARE, a Domestic terrorist for even suggesting we don't have our shit together.
I always marveled that my brother and I finally had to get a Social Security card at the same time. I believe I was twelve and he was nine.
When we finally got them, back in the early seventies, his number was way the hell different than mine.
To this day, after all these years, I still have my original card.
Too bad, they won't accept it.
They wouldn't let you encase it in plastic then.
I have lost my wallet a couple of times since then but I got lucky and got it back.
You can't read the top, bottom or sides. What used to be a rectangular card is now pretty much an oval.
You can still see most of my name and the number is still right there in the middle but I can bet they would not accept it any more.
I could be a Domestic Terrorist with a thirty eight year old Social Security card, still in my possession, from all those years ago.
Have a nice fucking day, bitches.
I don't need a fucking Birth Certificate, I have that. Not that I don't have a birth certificate, I could come up with that too.
I still have a wallet sized copy of my High School diploma, so does my GF., hers, not mine.
They were a popular way to dig ya for a few bucks more way back when.
Little did they know, we still have them.
I did lose my Class ring on a construction job thirty years ago and I ain't getting another one, who the fuck cares at this point?
So, we now have twenty million people in this country who have the same fucking Social Security numbers. One in seven. They are worried about WIKI LEAKS?
Are You Fucking Kidding Me?
Get yer fucking heads out of yer fucking asses and use all those god damn email and cell phone records you have been keeping, along with those Super Computers you keep bragging about and figure this shit out!
For fucks sake! I have better odds at hitting the mother fucking lottery!
It is readily apparent that our valued Federal employees have had no way to double check the paper work they have been submitting for the last forty fucking years.
Sign the papers and we will send you this cute little card you can call all your own.
I still have mine, I think I need to go see who else still has theirs. This could take a while.
All I can hope is that that yearly statement I get from SS hasn't been taking into account all my new found friends.
