[TheRealThing]

We may see the media start attacking Hillary soon. The election is coming closer and Bill Clinton is beginning to realize that he will actually have to sleep next to Hillary should she win.

I really hope the media starts to come around soon but I wonder. I listened to Judy Miller this morning on Varney and Co. She's supposed to be revered as an objective and scrupled journalist. I thought she was anything but, as she launched off into a tirade about perceived Trump failings whose origins were straight from the bowels of the DNC, and her list of character flaws was nothing short of epic in scope.

One oft quoted charge by media and Dems that she parroted was that Trump is racially biased, and she linked it to Muslim immigration. I've said this before and it bears repeating here again. Equating Trump's concerns about our government's policy of using tax payer dollars no less, to roundup and import an ISIS fifth column within our very borders, is like saying we should have done the same thing for unvetted NAZI's in WW2. Both are sworn enemies of the USA, and both openly vowed to destroy our nation. On the one hand the Judy Millers of the world insist that we not be the world's policemen, while on the other insisting just as vehemently that we are responsible none the less, to somehow cure the world's ills. Such are the lunacy and the naïve notions of he bleeding heart left who dodge personal responsibility, and at the same time insist that every man (even terrorists) should enjoy the benefits of a personally responsible lifestyle. She went on to make rash statement and charge after rash statement and charge. All of which could have easily fit the definition of a lie.

Politically charged opinion, baseless conjecture and unsubstantiated predictions are not news. For example, Miller claimed there has been 'nothing specific' or substantive in Mr Trump's economic policy statements. As if the tripledown by Hillary vowing to extend the Obama doctrine is a viable foundation on which to build her own ridiculous promises of good things to come. What was the definition of insanity again? To keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome? One can only be so specific, I mean, it's like they expect a DVD of the future for proof or something. Miller's absurd demand for proof, which no candidate has ever delivered nor could they, is in and of itself patently dishonest; While she ignores the proof that lies all around us. For example, the fact that under current financial policy the wealth of this nation is gone.

Allow me to explain. Our GNP may be defined as follows; the total wealth of all goods and services, wages, and holdings at the industrial and commercial level such as business facilities, plants, and industrial complexes, plus all goods, wages, possessions, property such as homes, stocks, bonds, IRA's and pensions at the individual level during any given year. In other words, if you stuck a for sale sign on the entirety of the US, what would it's worth be en-toto, down to the last yo-yo. The middle class to me, can be compared to the oceans of this planet. It is there that the health of the planet derives from, healthy oceans, healthy world eco-systems. The wealth of the middle class then is the best way to gauge the wealth of the country.

We have no wealth in the broadest sense. Bank accounts are generally anemic as at least 42% of all American's who hold jobs live from check to check. Add to that the fact that it is now recognized that over 50% of all Americans get some form of government assistance. We have a miserable 62% labor participation rate, a 1% growth rate, a near zero % interest rate, and a zero % rate of return, and I defy anybody to somehow say all those 'givens' can be credibly used to make a financial happy face. In fact, our last bastion of personal wealth is home equity, (which BTW was born initially of sound fiscal reasoning in requiring buyers to put some skin in the game in the form of down payments and debt to value ratio standards) , but we are burning through our home equity as fast as we can borrow the money to so do. I believe the true driver right now of the economy, anemic as it is, is the refi industry. And what happens to everybody who at some point runs up against the reality that he has no more equity to use and has to face the inevitable? They either have to cut back and live within their means, which is a moving target anyway in this economy, or they find themselves on the curb.

For we Americans the ocean is dry. And yet though we all stand here staring down into a bottomless economic pit which makes the Grand Canyon seem like a divot on a golf course, we are none the less poised to elect Hillary Clinton to the White House. The word incredible does not start to capture the insanity from my perspective.
