Balanced Budget... Nov 14th,2012
Balanced Budget …Nov 14th,2012
By
James Bredin
What do you mean; balanced budget; our politicians never heard,
They're busy travelling the world and never got the word,
Okay, we just heard that lower commodity prices are a bad sign,
Will they or will they not, have to examine our credit line?
Should massive government spending be under control?
Should we have forbidden referendums or maybe have a poll?
Have Conservative principles been thrown out the door?
And how do promises of a future balanced budget score?
Is this the same crowd that refused death-with-dignity to us all?
Do they expect us to get down on our knees or maybe crawl?
Why is the federal budget ballooning to $26 billion this year?
Should we forget about this because the government is sincere?

Balanced budget requirements seem more likely to produce accounting ingenuity than genuinely balanced budgets.

I believe in an America with a government of men devoted solely to the public interests — men of ability and dedication, free from conflict or corruption or other commitment — a responsible government that is efficient and economical, with a balanced budget over the years of the cycle, reducing its debt in prosperous times — a government willing to entrust the people with the facts that they have — not a businessman's government, with business in the saddle … not a labor government, not a farmer's government, not a government of one section of the country or another, but a government of, for and by the people.

We're all in the service business. If you hire me to do a job I expect everybody else to be where I am. A little bit of crazy is good. It keeps things - balanced.
We say that anytime budgets are balanced and an ample savings account has been set aside, government should just stop collecting taxes. Better to leave that money in the pockets of those who earned it, than to let it burn a hole, as it always does, in the pockets of government.

My sense about Greta is that people ought to wait and see and see if she doesn't indeed turn out to be as balanced as we hope and expect she will. But there you are.
It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.

There is no real justification for a requirement that a budget of any sort should be balanced, except as a rallying point for those who seek to hamstring government.

I have long felt that it is readers and viewers of conservative media who could benefit from a more balanced discussion of what is at stake in our policy and the actions of our government.

Sometimes Your Eyes Can Display Your Feelings
Sometimes your eyes can display your feelings,
sometimes a moment is balanced in silence,
when something unseen speaks.
Sometimes your eyes can display your feelings
when love accepts the smallest thing as being right,
when we learn deeper things from that, which is unsaid,
Sometimes your eyes can display your feelings,
sometimes a moment is balanced in silence.

The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending.

Children Our Blessed Responsibility
our children
are our greatest
blessing
society
does not
value family
friendship enough
love and appreciation
are beautiful gifts
happy are parents
enjoying quality time
with their children
as a balanced daily priority
life for a wise minority
is not material perplexity

Empathetic Outcast Artist, The
for Mary
A doughty dauntless face
emerges [seemingly]
out of nowhere;
her words artfully executed,
mocking a tedious vanity
issuing a prolonged malcontentment
That disrupts the inner workings
of a balanced, unbiased society—
promoting
an innate disparity, an inversion of irony
borrowing from the world:
inessential partiality.

Do not be serious, be sincere
Don’t have career or academic goals.
Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life.
I use the world balanced before successful.
Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.
There is no point in getting a promotion on the day of your breakup.
There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable, if your mind is full of tension.
Life is one of those races in nursery school, where you have to run with marble in a spoon kept in your mouth.
If the marble falls, there is no point coming first.
Same is with life, where health and relationships are the marble.
Your striving is only worth it, if there is harmony in your life.
Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.
One thing about nurturing the spark – don’t take life seriously.
Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here.
We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity.
If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2500 weekends.
Do we really need to get so worked up?
It’s OK, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, enjoy with your friends, fall in love, little fights with your loved ones.
We are people, not programmed devices.
Don’t be serious, be sincere.
