The End of 2012

Dear 2012,

You suck!

Good Riddance,

Sincerely,
No Smoke

2013 isn't going to be much better.

But the entire annualized government deficit is being covered over by the Fed's quantitative easing. It's so easy to do. Why did it take a genius like Ben Bernanke to figure this out? Ben Bernanke is fabricating 40 billion to 80 billion dollars per month out of thin air indefinitely and buying US debt obligations such as US Treasuries with it. Our funded and unfunded (plus on the books and off the books) national debt is merely a figment of the imagination, being pasted over with another figment of the imagination (Ben's money machine). This surely must succeed!

Those other nations throughout history that inflated (debased) their currency until it ultimately failed and went to zero value were merely rank amateurs. They did not have the benefit of the worlds most terrifying military might to muscle the other nations of the world into accepting their shenanigans (figments of the imagination called money, created at will) by force. But we have the military might to force this game to go on forever until we are once again great as a result of brute force and money fabrication alone. Or do we?

No we don't, our game is up.

Save the doom and gloom political discussion for the news & politics section.

It has been a good year over-all--the world did not come to an end & I've woke up sucking air for the past 365 days.. Lots of things going on that we all need to keep aware of. Life does & will continue to go on, God willin & the creek don't rise. I have much to be grateful for--mostly mine & my families health. My Mom passed quickly & at peace at 99. Over-all, yep, life is good.

Every New Year I see means that the one left behind couldn't have been all that bad & I look forward to the start of the next. Every one has it's bumps & bruises & as Americans we should be use to that, hopefully this will be a good year for not only all of us but the country & world as well, be thankful what we do have A Happy New Year in the best country in the world.

2012 must have been a good year. Every single time I opened the refrigerator there was food in it.

Happy New Year to all!

I won't make it to midnight. I will be sleeping by 11

I'am glad 2012 is almost gone, been a bad year for me. I hope 2013 will be a better year for us all,,, Happy New Year and please remember this,,,,, http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt ... Q&dur=2543

Every year it seems like I know more dead people than live people,
but the live people I know are quite pleasant, so I look forward to 2013.
