Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum!

Stiff and sore muscles talk to us and are company on the next leg of our journey.

With a recently found reserve of energy I take a deep breathe of all the surroundings. Is it an unvetted taking or a spiritual gift and the soul’s whisper of connectedness; another ancient resonant reminder of true balance and joy? Both experiences hold each others hand in this place.

A soundless voice keeps invading the sanctity of my mind forcing an image of a long abandoned stowaway. The waxy substance holds the cork with a deeply committed embrace and like a soul mate its bond is beyond time.

It is with a sense of unholy betrayal and trepidation I consider the separation of this tested union as I try to concentrate on what is being presented.

To get clear on what’s coming financially, we have to get clear on what’s happening in the US. We talked about a deficit, in any given year if we spend more than what we make, the difference is called the “deficit”.

In the US, for 2012, what they are forecasting is:
Revenues   2.1 Trillion
Expenses - 3.7 Trillion
Deficit      - 1.6 Trillion

The Deficit (negative 1.6 Trillion) is almost as big as there entire source of Revenues.

Obama says he will cut the deficit by 1.1 T over 10 years. This is 100 Billion a year. He is $400 Billion over for 2011 and it is only March!!!!!

There is no incentive in the US to cut spending.

Then there is the debt……I hope they are serving rum at the next location.
