APART FROM CHANGING SPEED AND THE STRENGTH OF FORCE IN THEIR PERCEPTIONS, THOUGHTS, SPEECH AND MOTION RESTLESSNESS IN SELF AND OTHERS IS ALSO GENERATED BY UNNECESSARY CHANGING OR SWITCHING THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THEIR PERCEPTIONS, THOUGHTS, SPEECH AND MOTION (PARTLY BECAUSE THEY ARE RESTLESS AND PARTLY FOR SHOW) AND BY CHANGING DIRECTION THAT IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITH MOTION.
EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NOT AWARE WHERE AND HOW CHANGES ARE OCCURING NOT JUST CONSTANTLY BUT IN MULTIPLE LAYERS AT THE SAME TIME IN THEIR PERCEPTIONS, THOUGHTS, SPEECH AND MOTION, ACTORS SOMNOLENTLY EXPLOIT ANY AVENUE THAT IS AMENABLE TO CHANGE IN THEIR PERCEPTIONS, THOUGHTS, SPEECH & MOTION TO FALSELY DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES FROM OTHERS THROUGH THEIR DIFFERENT BRANDS OF STYLE. JUST AS FLOWING WATER WILL BLINDLY WITHOUT DISCRIMINATION FILL ALL THE NOOKS AND CRANNIES THAT LIE IN ITS PATH, CHANGING THAT IS INTENDED FOR STYLE WILL ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY BLINDLY EXPLOIT ALL AND NOT JUST SOME AVENUES THAT ARE AVAILABLE. THUS IF DIRECTION IS AN AVENUE AVAILABLE FOR CHANGE IN MOTION IT WILL BE EXPLOITED AUTOMATICALLY, EVEN THOUGH ACTORS ARE UNAWARE THEY DO SO.
UNLIKE SPEECH, THOUGHT AND PERCEPTION, CONSTANT DIRECTION CHANGE IS A POSSIBILITY WITH MOVEMENT BECAUSE IT IS PERFORMED SPATIALLY IN THREE DIMENSIONS. AN IMPORTANT WAY FOR ACTORS TO MAKE THEIR MOVEMENTS STYLISH IS BY EITHER INTRODUCING ABRUPT UNNECESSARY CHANGES IN DIRECTION WITHIN A SINGLE MOVEMENT (EG ZIGZAGGING OR MAKING LOOPS) OR BY CURVING THEIR MOVEMENTS WHICH IS TANTAMOUNT TO CONSTANTLY CHANGING DIRECTION DURING A MOVEMENT THAT WOULD BE ABSENT IF IT WAS STRAIGHT.
ALL CHANGES IN DIRECTION BE THEY UNNECESSARY SWITCHING IN THE SUBSTRATE OF ONE’S PERCEPTION, THOUGHT, SPEECH OR MOTION, THE ADDING OF ZIGZAGS OR LOOPS IN ONE’S MOVEMENTS OR THE STYLISH CURVING OF ONE’S MOVEMENTS REQUIRE FORCE AND ENERGY EXPENDITURE AND THEY ARE THEREFORE FORCEFUL UNNECESSARY CHANGES THAT NOT ONLY LEADS TO RESTLESSNESS BUT CONDITIONS THE MIND WITH INCREASING INTENSITY TO CONSTANT UNNECESSARY CHANGING.
ONE SEEING CORRECTLY SEES PEOPLE CONSTANTLY CHANGING DIRECTION UNNECESSARILY BY MAKING THEIR MOVEMENTS CURVED BECAUSE IT IS DEEMED STYLISH, BY FREQUENTLY EXECUTING UNNECESARY STYLISH OR IDIOSYNCRATIC ZIGZAGS IN THEIR MOTIONS & THEY FREQUENTLY CHANGE DIRECTION UNNECESSARILY IN THE TACK OR SUBSTRATE OF THEIR PERCEPTIONS, THOUGHTS AND SPEECH. THESE CHANGES IN DIRECTION IN MOTION, IN SUBJECT OF PERCEPTIONS, THOUGHT AND SPEECH ARE INDEPENDENT SOURCES OF RESTLESSNESS.
BECAUSE CURVED OR LOOPY MOVEMENTS ARE UNIVERSALLY WORSHIPPED AS STYLISH & ORDINARY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING SO ALL THEIR LIVES THEY NO LONGER HAVE TO CONSCIOUSLY FORCE THEMSELVES BUT THEY ARE FORCED UNCONSCIOUSLY BY AUTOMATISM TO CURVE THEIR MOVEMENTS AND INCORPORATE UNNECESSARY ZIGZAGS OR LOOPS INTO WHAT SHOULD BE SIMPLE STRAIGHT A TO B MOVEMENTS.
WITHOUT THE CONSIDERABLE COMMENSURATE STRENGTH OF SELF PRESERVATION CONTROLLING AND SUPPRESSING RESTLESSNESS, PEOPLE WILL HAVE BEEN DRIVEN OVER THE EDGE WITH RESTLESSNESS BY THEIR NO HOLDS BARRED MULTILAYERED CONSTANT CHANGES IN SPEED, STRENGTH OF FORCE, SWITCHING OF SUBJECT MATTER, CHANGES OF DIRECTION IN THEIR MOTION, SPEECH, THOUGHT & PERCEPTIONS BUT NO MATTER HOW TENACIOUS THEY ARE, THEY ARE DOOMED TO ULTIMATE MAD RESTLESSNESS UNLESS THEY CEASE FORTHWITH ALL STYLISH CHANGES.
You can frequently unnecessarily change the subject of your speech or thinking or perceiving to be stylish or because you are restless but you cannot change the direction of speaking, thinking and perceiving because they are not done spatially in three dimensions. However, you can change the direction of your motion traversing from A to B because motion is conducted spatially in three dimensions and you have a choice to approach your target let your yes be yes only in a straight line or in a stylish curved or even jazzed up zigzag or loopy motion. Any changes in direction during a motion must be driven by force and therefore direction change is a forceful process that because it is unnecessary, only necessary for show, direction change in motion is in itself a source of restlessness.
There are motions like pedaling a bicycle or winding a car window knob that necessitate performing a curved or circular motion but a vast majority of the motions people carry out daily are in truth simple linear A to B motions but if they are subjected to impartial scrutiny they will be found to be unnecessarily curved because curved motion is deemed stylish or impressive; ordinary people deliberately unconsciously curve their motions to impress others and themselves how dainty, cultured or sophisticated they are.
The reason why people are not aware of the curving of their motions is not because they do not pay attention to their motions but when they do, they pay attention to how stylish their motions are rather than how they are curving or changing direction in their motions and how superfluous they are. Further because such direction changes are occurring all the time in multiple layers, they are bamboozled, they turn a blind eye to how they are defiling themselves. It is harder to kill yourself if you can see yourself doing so and therefore just as people turn a blind eye to their constantly stressing themselves by their constantly stretching of syllables, they also forcefully turn a blind eye to the constant unnecessary changes in direction observable in the movements of their fingers, hands, wrists, arms, torso, face, head and legs.
Motion of body parts eg finger, wrist, hand, limb, hips are deemed stylish if they are curved or if there are constant changes in direction of the body part when undertaking a movement.
A good example of unnecessary curved motion is the way people write or sign their signatures. Most people’s signatures have frequent unnecessary loops and curls that can even be of outrageous proportions reflecting that person’s big ego or self identity views.
A musical conductor’s baton never moves in a straight line but it will invariably trace loops or curved lines signifying that there are incessant direction changes.
It is in truth not necessary to sway one’s hips side to side whilst walking but it is done both by males and females to be stylish or seductive. People never gyrate their hips at constant speed and strength of force linearly from side to side but they always sway their hips with a loopy or curved path that have constant acceleration and deceleration of speed and strength of force.
If it is possible to move in a straight line from A to B but you elect to make a curved path, you have stretched that movement because a curved path is always a longer path. People seldom if ever make a purely straight motion but if they do, because there is always acceleration in speed and strength of their motion, the tendency of that motion too is to be stretched. Thus the actor is a perverted man living in a world of stretching where every unit of his perception, thought, speech and motion is stretched or will be stretched if not curtailed.
The Sin Of Dividing Other People’s Attention:
No matter how they may deny or be unable to see, any sound be it speech or music that is a mixture of substance that can be defined as the syllable or note and style that can be defined as the stretching of the syllable or note, changes in speed and loudness must divide the attention of the listener between the substance of what is said or sung and the style of what is said or sung.
Any movement that is a combination of substance (walking) and style (swaggering is a form of stretching, accelerating speed and strength of force) will divide the attention of the observer. Any posture that has substance (eg standing) and style (hip and shoulder thrust forward, head lifted up haughtily) will divide the attention of the observer (and the perpetrator himself).
No matter who you are, if your attention is divided it is always suffering and because division of one’s attention is forceful, it has intensity that can be conditioned so that with increasing exposure to division the person’s distraction becomes easier to arise to more intense levels that become harder to exit and can reach tormenting proportions. Therefore whoever divides another’s attention not only causes him suffering but is conditioning him to suffering that he may never exit and he has grave debts not merit.
Therefore anyone who speaks or makes sounds or music that is a combination of substance and style (stretching, changing speed and loudness) is guilty of persecuting others, has debts to repay no matter how exalted or benefiting he may think he is.
Anyone who speaks or sings without stretching syllables or notes, who does not change speed (pitch) or loudness does not sinfully divide his listener’s attention.
Even if you do not care about others, anyone who speaks or sings with style (stretching, changing speed and loudness) must divide his own attention and because he is doing this all the time, his attention is already constantly divided to easily reach intense levels that he struggles to shake off and he is heading for a cliff.
If what I say above does not convince you of sin, righteousness and judgment, what else said by anyone ill convince you?
****
Just as humans cannot be allowed to appear earlier on earth because his emergence will rapidly spell the demise of the earth, in the same way consciousness changes could not be permitted to occur earlier because they would have accelerated man’s destruction of the earth.
Although it was possible to cause the mental shackles to be removed all along, ordinary people were incapable of doing so as demonstrated by the failure to do so by beings that existed throughout the ages and another indication that this so is that even those who think they are good and intelligent continue to stretch their syllables, change speed and loudness even after they have been demonstrated how they do so when to desist is the previously unthinkable exit from stress, restlessness and distraction, let alone that they themselves, let alone the masses will discover by themselves they constantly stretch their syllables, change speed and loudness and these are the inalienable roots of the stress, restlessness and distraction that beset them.
Sucked In:
Apparently mud crabs cannot be farmed because they will always fight each other causing death and injury. One way crabs are caught is to prod their burrows in the mud with a stick so that they will snap at it to be drawn out.
In the same way when humans suffer either as a result of their own actions or the actions of others (loud noises deliberately made by others, a glaring look by others, being spat at) their tendency is to lash out or retaliate either directly or indirectly (take it out on articles like slamming doors) or they force themselves to bear (forcefully remain silent) or they deny (hum a tune as if they are happy when they seethe) but whichever way they choose, they have reacted, they have been induced to apply force on their minds that further stresses their minds apart from the force applied by their original suffering caused by the provocation of others. Not only have they been induced to apply force on their minds, but each time they do so they condition their minds to force and because they have done so their whole lives long, the tendency to apply force on their minds whenever they are provoked is irresistible or compelling.
EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD IS CONSTANTLY TRYING TO PROVOKE EACH OTHER, BE IT NOISES THEY UNRIGHTEOUSLY MAKE, SMILING TO FORCE YOU TO RETURN, A SNEER OR SNORT OR COUGH AND IF YOU REACT IN ANYWAY, EVEN BY APPLYING FORCE TO REMAIN SILENT (THE NOBLE PERSON’S SILENCE IS PASSIVE OR FORCELESS, UNCONTRIVED OR UNFABRICATED, NOT FORCEFUL, NOT EMOTIONAL), YOU HAVE BEEN SUCKED IN, DRAWN INTO THE WHIRLPOOL OF SUFFERING THAT IS HARD TO EXTRICATE YOURSELF. A NOBLE PERSON WHOSE MIND IS CENTERED, WITHOUT FORCE DECLINES TO BE DRAWN IN TO USE FORCE AND HE REMAINS BLISSFULLY CALM CLEARLY THINKING FULLY COMPREHENDING ABOVE THE FRAY.
(NO ONE NEEDS QUESTION MY PERSONAL VIRTUE. IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND AND PRACTICE WHAT I SAY BETTER THAN ME, YOU WILL SUFFER LESS THAN ME. THE TROUBLE IS THEY CANNOT PUT WHAT I SAY INTO PRACTICE AND THUS SUFFERING THEY UNRIGHTEOUSLY ATTACK WHAT I SAY AS WITHOUT MERIT. WITHOUT HAVING TRIED WHAT I SAY FOR A REASONABLE PERIOD YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO PASS COMMENT BUT YOU WOULD NOT BE A FOOL IF YOU DID NOT LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP. MY VIRTUE OR LACK OF IS OF NO CONCERN TO ANYONE ELSE. IF ANYONE UNDERSTOOD AND PUT INTO PRACTICE WHAT I SAY THEY WILL NOT TAKE ISSUE WITH MY VIRTUE. WHAT I SAY IS INDEPENDENT OF MY NATURE ALTHOUGH IT REFLECTS MY NATURE AND EVEN IF DETRACTORS WANTED, THEY CANNOT SAY WHAT I SAY BECAUSE SUCH THOUGHTS DO NOT AND CANNOT OCCUR IN THEM)
Mad Stress, Restlessness & Emotions:
Mad stress, restlessness and emotions (eg rage, like and dislike, sadness) is stress, restlessness and emotion that arises rapidly helplessly to intense levels out of proportion to the insult causing it that needs time and force to suppress.
If actors watch themselves they will realize they are already owners of mad stress, restlessness and emotions (strong anger or dislike) and if they do nothing about them, these will continue to grow in strength and virulence and they are headed for total mad stress, restlessness and emotions.
Jesus Says Pride Is Sin:
And he called the people to him again, and said to them, "Hear me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a man which by going into him can defile him; but the things which come out of a man are what defile him." And when he had entered the house, and left the people, his disciples asked him about the parable. And he said to them, "Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside cannot defile him, since it enters, not his heart but his stomach, and so passes on?" * (Thus he declared all foods [that includes meat] clean.) And he said, "What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a man."
Jesus said pride is evil and yet Christians from top to bottom are pleased with themselves to speak of their pride in this and that and encourage you to follow suit. There is only one kind of pride not one that is OK and another that is not OK.
Foolishness is not blameless but it is evil and the result of the way the person behaves or cultivated by the fool himself partly by choice and partly by encouragement from others. Gambling and investing is a form of foolishness driven by greed for easy quick gains and because no one can be certain his bet will pay off, he is conditioning himself to doubt and uncertainty by gambling and investing that increasingly seizes him until it is hard to wean him off his betting or investing.
To be mischievous and trying to be funny too is a form of foolishness cultivated by the person and abetted by society. Nobody truly enjoys his own mischief or trying to be funny but they stress themselves to do so in order to get what they want eg popularity.
A Deluded Scholar:
Quote Buddhist Scholar:
The Buddha instructed deities as well as humans. The gods came to the Buddha to request instruction and pay homage. Devas and brahmas are often mentioned and they regularly manifest themselves on the human plane in many episodes of the Buddha's career. Some are foolish, some wise; some barely distinguishable from people, others are extremely powerful, long-lived and magnificent. (It may be a figment of his delusion or imagination)
Although humans are low on the scale, many deities long for birth on the human plane because it offers the best opportunity to practice Dhamma and attain liberation. On the lower four planes, little progress can be made as suffering is gross and unrelenting and the opportunity to perform deeds of merit rare. The very bliss of the higher planes beclouds the universal characteristics of all phenomena: impermanence, non-satisfactoriness and the lack of a lasting, controlling self.
Many are intimidated by reputation to believe what writers say as true when they are presumptuous, writing what they are unwarranted to write misleading others not without consequences to others and themselves. Anyone who misleads others is creating karma for himself that may be far more painful than they ever dreamt possible.
You don’t become a brahma a being higher than devas or angels by being foolish but foolishness is the distinguishing quality of the devil and beings trapped in the lower realms and thus to describe some brahmas as foolish without ascertaining so is foolish.
The Buddha: "There are monks who with the total ending of [the first] three fetters (self identity views, doubt and uncertainty and faith in rites and precepts) and the attenuation (but remaining) of passion, aversion & delusion are once-returners who -- on returning only one more time to this world -- will make an ending to stress.
What the Buddha says above implies that it is not meritorious to return here as a human and it is not the desire to become a human because it offers the best opportunity (compared to heavenly existence) to practice dharma but it is his remaining defilements or sin namely his residual passion or emotion of which aversion is one component and delusion, the emotional belief in falsity that will cause him to return for one last occasion. Therefore what the Buddhist scholar said does not accord to what the Buddha said and there is karma attached for misleading others.
"In this community of monks there are monks who are Arahants, whose mental effluents are ended, who have reached fulfillment and who are released through right gnosis.
"There are monks who, with the total ending of the first set of five fetters (self identity views, faith in rites and precepts, doubt and uncertainty, ill will and sensuality) are due to be reborn [in the Pure Abodes], there to be totally unbound, never again to return from that world.
"There are monks who, with the total ending of [the first] three fetters and with the attenuation of passion, aversion & delusion are once-returners who -- on returning only one more time to this world -- will make an ending to stress.
"There are monks who, with the total ending of [the first] three fetters, are stream-winners, steadfast, never again destined for states of woe, headed for self-awakening.
An Actor:
If you think the Buddha or Jesus will express themselves or behave as above or you see nothing wrong with the behavior displayed above, you may be the one who is deluded and headed for suffering not me who dare to speak out.
Whatever the Dalai Lama wants to say above can be said without the displayed expression on his face which can be described as a forced smile, his hand gesture and leaning forward and in so doing he is acting just like the rest of humanity.
What he is doing applies force on his mind and is forceful that will be palpable to his audience; whatever he is expressing must be done with changes in speed and loudness to be nice not good to others. What he is doing is neither good for himself or others and will cause stress, restlessness and distraction in himself as his audience.
IT IS NOT MERITORIOUS BUT PRETENTIOUS TO BE AFRAID TO SPEAK THE TRUTH BASED ON THE REPUTATION OR HIGH STANDING OF A PERSON. BECAUSE I HAVE NO DOUBT AND UNCERTAINTY, I AM CONFIDENT WHAT I SEE IS TRUE I AM UNAFRAID TO SPEAK MY MIND.
IF YOU THINK THE DALAI LAMA SPEAKS LIKE THE BUDDHA AS RECORDED IN THE PALI CANON OR THE POPE SPEAKS LIKE JESUS YOU MUST BE DELUDED.
Quote Headline: On A Wing And Prayer.
Comment: The headline must be extracted out of memory because it has been said before, it sounds impressive to people who love to be impressed and the writer is retrieving it from his jukebox to apply to the situation where MAS, Malaysia’s national airline is in grave financial trouble. No matter how apt that statement is sold as appropriate or apt, it will not and does not perfectly fit the situation and it is therefore a false rote statement designed to impress others rather being faithful to truth or the situation at hand.
WHENEVER PEOPLE USE WELL WORN ‘CATCH’ PHRASES IN RELATION TO A SITUATION IT IS ALWAYS FABRICATED BY ROTE TO IMPRESS, IT IS NEVER A LIVE SPECIFIC TO THE SITUATION RESPONSE AND IT IS NOT JUST IN THIS INCIDENCE BUT ALWAYS THEY ARE ACTORS ACTING FROM JUKEBOXES IN WHICH THEY ARE ONLY VOYEURS OBSERVING THEMSELVES ACTING AND OVERRATED DISC JOCKEYS DECIDING WHICH TUNE OR STANDARD LINE IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE OCCASION AND SOMETIMES THEY MISCUE AND MAKE A FOOL OF THEMSELVES.
Provoking Others:
People in this world are always intentionally or unwittingly provoking others to be angry, upset, disturbed, afraid or anxious, to forcibly bear or restrain themselves from reacting or fake they are not affected when they are, to be excited, to laugh or giggle.
The common denominator is that these are all reactions that apply force on the mind of the person who reacts (to force oneself not to react or show expressions of reaction too is a form of reaction) and once the person has been provoked to apply force on his mind to react, it creates stress, restlessness and distraction that become the nidus for perpetuating and growing stress, restlessness and distraction. By reacting, the person is conditioning himself to use force on his mind, has been caused by the intentional or unintentional provocateur to use force on his mind that becomes irresistible or automatic after lifelong practice.
Therefore whoever whose behavior, speech, noises he makes and postures he assume (seductive or intimidating) provokes others to react has karma for instigating observers to apply force on their minds by reacting emotionally. This karma is never negligible but significant and he is headed even for perdition.
Going Against Self:
What and how you say, do or think things can be impartially determined as going against yourself or not and whoever you are, if in truth you go against yourself in what and how you say, do and think, you will suffer as you say, do or think it and you are headed for greater agony later in life and thereafter.
Anyone who says, does and thinks things with added unnecessary force (eg angrily), whether he can see or not, whether he will admit or not is going against himself because that added force no matter how it is denied or unseen impacts on the mind and body to cause stress, tension, restlessness and distraction. Because anything said, done or thought with force conditions the mind, increasingly warps and degrades the mind, the person is headed for greater woes as his mind becomes increasingly warped and degraded and if you think you are headed for safety after death you may be a great fool because anyone who says or does things with added force persecutes others with stress, restlessness and distraction and has grave cumulative debts to repay after death.
Whatever force that is added to what one says or does must have a conduit for dissipation and it is this constantly added force that is the cause directly or indirectly (via emotions) to the constant stretching of syllables, constant changes in speed and loudness.
Because actors cannot give up their mental force, they secretly or openly cherish their emotions or passions, they cannot stop themselves stretching their syllables, changing speed and loudness and as a result they are constantly beset by stress, restlessness and distraction that has already gone mad because they can arise suddenly powerfully as a result of a minor event, they only control and suppress their stress, restlessness and distraction in a harassed fashion so as to present a respectable or ‘normal’ image of themselves to others.
An example of a stretched motion:
If you observe people typing on their keyboards, they strike their keys with a stabbing motion that is only stabbing not because it is fast or forceful but it is stabbing because it is rapidly accelerating in speed and force as the finger strikes the key. If the key had not arrested the finger, the acceleration in speed and force will have taken the finger well past the keyboard and in so doing, the person has stretched the stroke that is necessary to type and he exerts unnecessarily greater wear and tear on his hands and keyboard more than he would typing at constant speed and force and he is also applying force on his mind because mental force must always be used to force your fingers to move with accelerating speed and force.
Heading For Doom Faster:
The report below says that CO2 levels are rising higher than predicted and just as scientists underestimated in the past, they will again underestimate that future rises will be even higher.
Sharp rise in CO2 levels recorded
By David Shukman BBC science correspondent
US climate scientists have recorded a significant rise in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, pushing it to a new record level.
BBC News has learned the latest data shows CO2 levels now stand at 381 parts per million (ppm) - 100ppm above the pre-industrial average.
The research indicates that 2005 saw one of the largest increases on record - a rise of 2.6ppm.
The chief carbon dioxide analyst for Noaa says the latest data confirms a worrying trend that recent years have on average recorded double the rate of increase from just 30 years ago.
"We don't see any sign of a decrease; in fact, we're seeing the opposite, the rate of increase is accelerating," Dr Pieter Tans told the BBC.
The precise level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is of global concern because climate scientists fear certain thresholds may be "tipping points" that trigger sudden changes.
"Today we're over 380 ppm," he said. "That's higher than we've been for over a million years, possibly 30 million years. Mankind is changing the climate".
Bankrupt America:
America is like the man who keeps exceeding his credit limit and goes to the bank to raise his credit limit whilst professing to be fiscally prudent when all signs indicate the opposite.
US government near to debt limit
The government needs Congressional authority to borrow and the total accumulated debt is now close to its limit of $8.2 trillion (£4.7 trillion).
If the limit is not increased, the government could find it difficult to pay debts or borrow money.
Congress is expected to agree to an extension, averting any debt crisis.
Massive deficits
In a letter to Congress, Mr Snow said he has already taken "prudent and legal actions" to avoid reaching the debt limit.
These include tapping the civil service pension funds and using the $15bn in the Exchange Stabilisation Fund, a reserve held for smoothing out volatile movements in the value of the dollar in currency markets. (Sounds like desperate and irresponsible measures using other people’s money rather than prudent; therefore he is speaking carelessly misleading others and will be judged)
But the Treasury has warned that such measures will only postpone the credit deadline until mid-March.
This is the fourth time George W Bush's administration has asked Congress to raise the government debt limit (a serial abuser who is concerned with tiding over until he leaves office, leaving the mess to others to sort out).
His administration has produced a series of massive deficits, brought on by the post dot-com recession, tax cuts, the September 11 attacks and wars and reconstruction in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The US government has never defaulted on its debts (with the help of a conniving congress that keeps extending the limit of debt it can incur is that any surprise and it reflects this world than it is not alarmed that the wealthiest nation is heavily in debt), and to do so would destroy its credit rating and raise the cost of any future borrowing.
