Deficit Spending - Is It Really That Hard?
A new article came out today that basically says our nation's deficit is worse than previously predicted. Big surprise. "Oh, my mistake. I thought the 700 billion dollar stimulus package was on sale." Come on, give me a break! How can the people that run this nation not understand how to live on a budget. When everyone else in the country is tightening their belts and making sacrifices, they are trying to buy more private jets??? Seriously??? This isn't too difficult. Children understand this concept. If I am short on money, I don't go on a spending spree. Even if I want to buy designer necklaces or Marine Corps rings, they aren't in the budget. So, I don't buy them! Why? I don't need them. It's not rocket science. If I can't afford expensive jewelry or any other latest toy that I happen to set my eye on, I don't buy it. If Keenan can understand this concept, I wish the government could.

Pre-Dog Walk Calculus
Before I take my dog for a walk I need to plan. Because he’s still a spaz, lunging at every car, I’ve taken to walking him in the late evenings. Mostly midnight or so during the weekdays.
My neighborhood isn’t the safest around. I’m pretty sure the nightly police sirens aren’t just a bunch of cops joyriding. Some guy got shot at the corner store half a block down the street. I know this because I read every post on The Blotter.
So before I take the dog out Monday night a little bit of calculus goes through my head. What should I bring? Should I bring my wallet? What about my phone? I guess I have to bring my keys if I’m alone. What should I really have in my possession in case I get mugged. By muggers.
If I bring my keys they could force me to give them my car. I could leave my door unlocked but then somebody could steal the PS3. And the TV. The TV isn’t even mine—it’s my roommate’s. I probably couldn’t handle living with the shame of getting his TV stolen.
Suppose I leave my wallet safe at home—wouldn’t that piss you off if you tried to rob someone and all they had were the keys to a 10 year old Japanese compact? Not really sure what the crooks would do then. Maybe harass my dog.
And then there is the phone. I have an iPhone. It really is a precious possession of mine. Sure I could replace it, but it would be a pain. I would have to retype all the passwords in Safari. When you use long passwords with punctuation marks it really is a pain to login to everything again.
But I need the phone in case I feel like texting while I’m out on my walk. And maybe I could see them coming, and I could vault over a neighbor’s fence. Then the phone would become an asset! But not if the neighbor has a pit bull or something. At that point even an iPhone isn’t going to help. There’s probably not an app for that (?).
Really if one considers it logically, there must be a perfect set of on person possessions I should bring on my dog walks. A combination of items that achieves the highest average good outcome, given the possibilities.
I don’t know, I just bring whatever is on me these days.
"Put your hands in the air...and pick up the broom!"
From the Montgomery Advertiser: Burglar made to clean up mess:
Man and woman come home to find house has been trashed and burglarized.Man turns around and sees the burglar, wearing the victim's hat, walking in the back door.Man holds suspect at gunpoint while waiting for police.Man figures he might as well make the most of the wait time and makes the burglar clean the house back up.Burglar complains to police upon their arrival of being forced to clean the house at gunpoint.Police laugh in his face and tell him he is lucky he wasn't shot dead upon walking back into the home.With the exception of the poor victims' possessions being stolen (the article doesn't say that the police were able to recover the stolen property), this is one of the best stories I have read in a while.
