Brute's Grizzly Bearish, No Bull, Plan for the USA
The Grizzly Bearish, No Bull Plan, for the Future of United States of America:

The Federal Reserve’s current two-fold mandate to pursue low inflation and job creation is rescinded and replaced with the goal of providing a strong dollar as the primary basis of national financial security. A gold standard is totally unworkable in the modern world; a strong dollar standard only requires responsible, consistent monetary policy.
Our Federal government’s portion of national GDP will be reduced to 14 percent over a period of ten years. During that period the national defense portion will be reduced to 2 percent of GDP, through the dismantling of the military-industrial-Keynesian-complex. This will very likely produce another recession, but will reset a solid foundation, for future economic growth that looks optimistically forward.
The current progressive income tax will be replaced with a standard flat tax rate on individuals and corporations of 20 percent, with the only exception and exemption for the poorest Americans. This rate will continue until such time as the nation is again established on a sound financial debt-reduction basis. Then and only then can that rate be reduced.
Social Security and Medicare withholdings from individuals will be maintained at current levels, but the cap of total contributions on a yearly basis will be removed. In pursuit of a sound dollar financial monetary policy, those funds will go into a true lock box concept, with no ability of the legislative and executive branches to use those funds; except as truly marketable and repayable investment bond securities.
National catastrophic healthcare coverage will be instituted for all citizens and documented workers, being funded through a national sales tax on goods and services. This tax can be used for no other purposes. That rate will be determined by actuarial data. Within that program every individual will be responsible for the first $50,000 of the defined catastrophic illness or other healthcare event, except for what is currently defined as long-term care, where the maximum individual liability will be $100,000. Individuals will be able to buy insurance to cover those minimums through market-driven insurance options. Over time this national tax will be reduced as current Medicare and Medicaid are gradually phased out over a period of twenty-five years.

Brute' understands Obama's lipstick remark!
As one of the leaders of the Nowhere community, I was recently asked to give a speech about my concerns about the human efforts to turn the totality of the natural world into true wilderness, parks, and zoos.
While standing on a large stump I explained that there were some benefits for certain animals and problems for some others. Many of those problems and blessings had to do with the tension between security and freedom.
As I was about to wind up my remarks I said, “To understand the human mind, especially the 21st century urban mind, is sort of like trying to put lipstick on a chipmunk, because it is so difficult to catch the little guys.”
First of all, I caught a lot of heat because when I said guys, the male chipmunks thought I was saying that they wear lipstick, which they found quite offensive.
Then I was told I was kind insensitive, because people thought I said that all the chipmunk kind, all looked alike, therefore I was singling out chipmunks, because they were better athletes than some other animal kinds.
And then finally the female chipmunks let me know in no uncertain terms, just like pigs, they didn’t wear lipstick at all. Lipstick was a characteristic of the human female, no matter by what description they called themselves.
Alas, alas, what is a Griz, or a Presidential, or a Vice Presidential candidate supposed to say, when it is continually twisted and spun by the news media. I guess it just goes to show you have to be very careful when ascribing human characteristic to any of God’s critters, chipmunks, crows, skunks, eagles, and grizzly bears come to mind.
Brute' says grow beans for more gas.
Note: Brute’ normally sneaks into the office very early Friday mornings to compose his weekly wisdom, which I then post to the Internet when I come in at a more reasonable hour. This morning just before I uploaded this week’s Et tu Brute’, I checked my email and Brute’ had sent me this note:
To: Jerry Bannon
From: Brute’ T. Griz
Subject: Too few beans, too many weeds!
Dear Jerry,
I normally don’t make recommendations for your weekly column, but I believe that the results of the Off road Voodoo Desert you wrote about this week, leads to horrendous weed patches, where there should be fields of beans and other useful human crops. It is a metaphor, in case you missed it.
Until humans make the effort to manage their God given culture like it was a living garden, I cannot see any hopeful crop harvests in the foreseeable future.
You might be able to do something about it, most people only talk about the problems, and those who try to do something don’t understand the true natural context.
As a result, I am happy to stay a Griz living in Nowhere, while your humanized concept of Somewhere continues to be more like a desert every day.
Your eternal friend,
Brute’ T. Griz
As a result of Brute’s email the tentative title of next week’s message will be: The Voodoo weed patch: It’s ramifications on the continued development of human civilization.

Brute's plan to revolutionize America
How to Revolutionize the United States of America
In their book Ben and Phil have six chapters on how to ruin the United States of America. The six are very well thought out and are well in the process of making the ruining a reality. However, I Brute’ Griz, one of the few always optimistic forces on the internet, believe that especially on the day that the USA celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution, that ruining needs to be turned into fixing. In other words “How to Revolutionize the United States of America.”
Therefore, I have taken their six points of ruin and turned them into opportunity. If you want to know more of the details you will have to read their book.
1. Bring God back into public life. That means saying this anti-God rhetoric by a few atheists and reinforced by some liberal do-bad judges will stop or they will be impeached. It they don’t like it they can find another country somewhere that really wants to be ruined.
2. Teach Americans to love their country. That means more than just putting bumper stickers on your vehicles. That means tell the naysayers that while they have a right to their opinion their opinion is wrong and that their words and thoughts are very destructive to everyone on the planet. They need to grow up and join the real world.
3. Bring back some positive substance to culture. I may be a self educated dumb grizzly bear by birth, but I did not stay that way. Turn off the TV, read more, stop eating out of boredom, get some regular exercise, meet your neighbors, and get out into God’s creation to see that the world does not revolve around you.
4. Build up the military. Admit it was a stupid plan to fight a war in Iraq with half the troops needed. Get over it. Spend some real money on weapons systems that are needed in the real world in which we live. Pay our soldiers some real money for their contribution to America’s freedom and if that doesn’t get enough recruits, reinstitute the draft, for both men and women.
5. Maintain the borders of the United States of America. Take the steps necessary to make the borders - real borders. Enforce the existing laws against hiring illegal workers. Send back foreign criminals to where they came from. Construct a verifiable program for guest workers. Do not provide monetary assistance to illegals except transit back to their native land.
6. Eliminate Voodoo Economics. Make the national government balance the federal budget. Manage the economic affairs so that a strong dollar is a national priority. Quit giving tax dodges to special interests no matter their power or social standing. Promote future prosperity by encouraging small business and entrepreneurs, letting global corporations make their own way in the world.
If all these revolutionary points were adopted by even a small percentage of Americans, the country would change dramatically in a hurry. Sure that means some short term uncomfortable situations, but revolutions are all about true sacrifice, not just being a lazy polluting human.
Repectfully submitted the citizens of these United States of America,

Brute' says, "It's well past time to get an energy program!"
It surely is well past the time to get an energy program. This is the link to the video Brute' is speaking about. While you are at it, you might drop over to American Solutions and sign their petition on energy independence. Brute' was thinking about signing himself, but realized that would add a small amount of mockery to a very serious issue. Brute' is a very honest, straight talking, and serious Griz. As of this posting well over 1,050,000 people have already signed up. You should do likewise. That is if you are a real human being.

Oil speculators are a true great satan!
Brute's thoughts might serve to get some of our leaders off their duffs and at least pontificate on this problem. Then if a miracle might happen they could possibly decide to see if we could once again just pay a reasonable and true "free" market price for our oil.
Are Oil Speculators the true great Satan? From my view up in the woods it looked like that was the case, so I traveled to this oil refinery to check it out. What I found was the oil monopoly profits are the true weapons of Mass Destruction of the American economy. If these Corporations are our friends, who needs enemies!!!
Brute' had a dream
How difficult is Brute's dream? He told me that he had very little hope of that dream ever becoming reality. It seems like the whole United States is asleep to what is really important. His thoughts about a responsible government funding a planned civil infrastructure, a sound monetary supply, true free markets for goods and services, and opportunities for all people to become what God uniquely created them to be, don't seem to be in the news, or on any head's talking points list. True leadership isn't anywhere to be found.
Instead of wise government, we fund only special interest earmarks, create and borrow money out of vapor, allow speculators and monopolists to sink the economy, and tell people everything will be fine if we just buy more stuff. Then, and only when it all begins to unravel, we proudly announce not to worry, this same government will save you from your own inepititude. All this is not just silly, but insane and criminal .
How sad is the state of human affairs, when a cartoon of a smiling grizzly bear, on an obscure website, published from nowhere, has to point out the true purposes for the existence of human society.
Brute' offers some advice
