The behavior and the actions of our lawmakers and the media should wake us up.
Hi everybody. John daly here with some informed and not inflamed.
I am more and more removing myself from television news -- unless it is breaking news.
TV news does a great job of alerting us to physical disasters.
But that’s it.
Again, as I’ve mentioned in other podcasts, check out my Twitter newsfeed.
Trust me. 15 minutes a day looking at that you will be more informed than watching four hours of cable news.
I have come to the conclusion that watching press conferences of the president or members of Congress is a waste of time.
Again, as I’ve told you before, the media bias is really a sports and entertainment bias.
Both political parties and the media are trying to get our attention and ad dollars through emotion and our prejudice.
The formula is pit one team vs. the other or side with a protagonist against a bad antagonist.
This is how they make money. However, while they’re taking money out of our pockets and taking away our time, there is a ticking time bomb that we are not paying attention to.
That ticking time bomb is our future.
Right now we are told that the government has $22 trillion in debt.
That is being quoted as 4 or 5% of GDP --- which is alarming.
However, as is the media and our lawmakers, they are not giving you the whole story. That $22 trillion is really 10 times higher at $210 trillion and growing.
Why is the number really bigger?
