He'll have to suck it up and move on...

Demand A Plan, when you are not blocking the aisle at the commissary as a senile ORF.

Everyone knows how this ends: a $2T debt ceiling increase to carry us through 2014 with future promises of spending cuts and tax increases. Maybe even a new fiscal cliff, because this time we'll really mean it. Why does a system that requires $100B/month in debt above and beyond what we are able to actually pay for not deserve to get kicked straight in the teeth and fail? Default big now rather than default enormous down the line.

Our fiscal troubles are over! Due to a law permitting the Treasury to mint platinum coins of unspecified weight or value, economists, politicians, and dickless HuffPost readers have started a petition at whitehouse.gov to allow the government to fix the whole debt ceiling thingy. Step 1: Treasury mints a platinum coin with face value of $1T. Step 2: Treasury deposits coin at the Fed, bringing down the balance of debt. Step 3: ???? Step 4: Profit. https://www.businessi...-economy-2013-1

California will just be the first of many. New York, Illinois, and New Jersey will shortly follow. The federal government may print all the money that it wants and that will work just fine, right up until it doesn't. The states have no such option and you can see that in all the municipalities going bankrupt and paying out 20 cents on the dollar for pensions, cutting services and employees, etc.

What about some pilot-style gouge that focuses on the important stuff, like what you can personally do about it? I e-mailed my congress critters and asked them to please get solvent ASAP and got a nice form e-mail response. That step out of the way, what are you and your 10-lb brain finance egghead comrades doing with your money in a financial landscape with a quadrillion bucks in derivatives outstanding, a government that can't balance its checkbook with a populace that doesn't care, and insane monetary interventions and liquidity injections mispricing everything under the sun? What is the smart course of action here?

Deficits don't matter. It is just money we owe to ourselves!

Maj. Garrett Knowlan was struck by a boat and killed during the single man raft isolation exercise. https://www.pnj.com/a...text%7CMilitary

https://freebeacon.co...are-for-combat/ There is supposedly a mass of 1000 Chinese fishing vessels enroute as they both continue to press to test ownership over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands and all the mineral rights/shipping lanes they entail.

Moving all my wife's shoes and knick knacks halfway around the world would be quite an expedition.

Or perhaps it is because the Federal Reserve has bought about 70% of all 10-30 yr US debt issuance the past couple of years. But hey, it is money we owe ourselves and deficits don't matter. Party on!

I was just thinking to myself how great it would be to have another half-assed hobby war to go fight in another third world Islamic shithole. It would cure boredom within the ranks of Air Force pilots for a few weeks and might even give the economy a shot in the arm.

In four years or less, Gen Welsh will retire embittered at his inability to change anything of substance after bashing his head against the AF monolith. At least his heart is in the right place and he won't look like such a penis in front of congress.

A baking powder? I think that if this decision is actually funded, staffed, and carried out, it would be marvelous. No shit. I also think that, in the days of PBD 720 and budget stress, there are a lot more ways that this can fail than succeed. How would you "make things better" for your bros WRT admin/personnel functions within the squadron?

These new squadron orderly rooms will just be hitting their stride when some new boy wonder commander gets OPR fodder by cutting them to save money, if this plan isn't just a cruel joke to begin with.

Yes, the odds of fighting the walking dead are equal to financial distress/collapse leading to some sort of societal upset. Astute.

I heard from a bud tangentially involved in the case that the prosecution successfully subpoenaed his SIB statement and is using it as evidence against him. Anybody else seen/heard anything about this? Edit: Grammar

No.

Those tethered balloons that have been there since forever and are clearly marked with a red circle on any Tac planning product really sneak up on you.

You are not equal. You're a cadet.

Terrific job, Nav.

Comic book background aside, the premise seems very familiar. Maybe because I saw The Raid: Redemption a couple months ago. I swear, Hollywood executives could be replaced by one of those damn "What's your stripper/porn star name?" mad lib generator programs.

I have a Casio G Shock 3395 that I really like. On the main "page," you can toggle quickly between the local date, GMT date (or any second location), and a Julian calendar. I use the Julian calendar to count down days remaining on my ADSC. https://compare.ebay.com/like/280878065372?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

I don't know anything about that, I just want some food and water for my friends.
