Ogre’s Politics and Views

Let’s play a game, shall we? Some important government officials said the following statements. Can you guess who said them — or more importantly, WHEN?

1. “There is no cause to worry. The high tide of prosperity will continue.”

2. “It’s a safe banking system, a sound banking system. Our regulators are on top of it. This is a very manageable situation.”

3. “The Government’s business is in sound condition.”

4. “Our economy has got very strong long-term fundamentals, solid fundamentals. And you know, your policy-makers here, regulators, we’re being very vigilant.”

5. “Reports to the Department of Commerce indicate that business is in a satisfactory condition [today].”

6. “But again, it’s a safe banking system, a sound banking system. Our regulators are on top of it. This is a very manageable situation.”

7. “Definite signs that business and industry have turned the corner from the temporary period of emergency that followed deflation of the speculative market were seen today.”

8. “The fundamental strength of the US economy, and I’m talking about the long-term fundamentals, I believe they
compare favorably in this country with any other developed industrial nation around the world.”

9. “We have hit bottom and are on the upswing.”

10. “The bottom line is this: We’re going through a tough time. But our economy has continued growing, consumers are spending, businesses are investing, exports continue increasing, and American productivity remains strong.”

So, did you guess?

All of the statements above that are even-numbered were made in the past month by the Bush administration — either by Bush himself, or his secretary of treasury.

All of the statements above that are odd-numbered were made by members of the Hoover administration — between September 1929 and September 1930. And remember, in the first half of 1930, the government spent more money while people spent less. Wages did not start their substantial drop until 1931 — after all these statements were made. And the Great Depression really got into full swing in late 1930 and didn’t hit bottom until 1933.

So let’s see… the US Treasury secretary says that things are bad — and they’re going to stay bad. Now this is someone who should know what they’re talking about. He says that the banking system is fine, but

The three big issues we’re facing right now are, first, the housing correction which is at the heart of the slowdown; secondly, turmoil of the capital markets; and thirdly, the high oil prices, which are going to prolong the slowdown

While the banking system is fine, banks are failing. Listen to my words, not reality. War is Peace. I understand.

So what is our ever-faithful Democrat-led Congress doing about these three big issues? They’re working hard to stop people from getting mortgages by crushing freedom. They’re working to pass laws to make it even harder for people to get loans, and make it easier to throw people in jail for lending money. So their solution to the housing correction is to make LESS people buy houses. Great.

The capital markets are in turmoil. What are the Democrat plans there? Spend trillions on government programs. And yes, capital gains taxes will have to be increased in order to pay for such employment programs. They are working to raise taxes to ensure that there will be less invested in companies so the capital markets will get worse.

How about oil prices? Oh right, Democrats are stopping drilling to ensure oil prices stay high, and they’re actually going to RAISE gas taxes to make sure gasoline stays affordable only for the “rich.”

So there you have it — Democrats in Congress are working hard, doing everything they possibly can to actually make the economy WORSE than it already is. No, seriously. Why? Because they believe that the worse the economy is, the better chances they have in the fall elections. Sorry, but that’s how politicians operate today. They want to get elected and will quite literally do anything they can, no matter the consequences, if they can just get re-elected and get more power.

What’s the solution? Vote them all out. Vote for a Libertarian. Vote for a non-politician. Don’t vote for lawyers. And yes, I’m aware that many people don’t have that option at all. In that case, just keep your ammo dry (while it’s still legal to own ammo) and wait until the people finally have had enough.

Well, why not? After all, that’s why we have courts, right? To determine when and where to kill people — even if the people don’t want to die, even when the people have done nothing wrong, and even when the people have others willing to care for them. This time it’s Lauren Marie Richardson in Delaware. Her mother wants her dead. No, really. The girl is sitting around, minding her own business. The girl isn’t causing anyone any harm. She just needs a little help eating. Her father is completely willing to feed her. Her mother isn’t. So the mother’s gone to court to withhold food from her. How is that not absolutely disgusting? I thought there was a law against killing innocent people. Apparently I was wrong.

Yes, this is similar to the Terry Schiavo case, but I think it’s much worse. Terry was married and one could question that her parents were more important than her husband. In this case, the girl’s own father is willing to take complete care of the girl. The mother says “no.” And we all know how courts rule when there’s a custody battle. By default, the woman wins. And in this case, the court order has been given: Murder Lauren because her mother says so.

And people claim we’re civilized. If this is civilized, I want to go live in a cave.

A few items caught my eye the past day or so. What do you think?

Did you know that in some places, if you call a member of the American Royalty (that’s a judge) something they don’t like, that you can be jailed for 6 months. Seriously. Call a judge a name and go to jail. I wasn’t aware that insults, especially to alleged public servants, were serious crimes. I guess I was thinking about that “other” America where there’s freedom of speech.

Supposedly this guy pulled down a girl’s shirt. More importantly, what I’d like to know is why a 17-year old girl was “outside” a Buffalo Wild Wings at 1:13am. Anyone? Mom? Dad?

Maybe I’m just paranoid, but am I the only one who thinks it’s incredibly suspicious that the FBI started investigating IndyMac only after the bank failed? It’s just coincidence, I’m sure. It’s got nothing to do with consumer confidence in a corrupt government.

We just passed cost of government day. You did realize that 100% of ALL the money you earned so far this year was to support government, right? Seriously, just think about that. Every single dollar you earned so far this year was to pay for government. Wow. This government really stinks, you know?

And yes, the Democrats still despite freedom. They strongly support high gas prices and will say and do ANYTHING to ensure gas prices get and stay as high as possible. Sorry, that IS what Democrats stand for.

So, have you heard the latest from Congress regarding freedom of speech? In a nutshell, Congress, led by Democrats, are saying that if you are a member of Congress, you are not allowed to speak to anyone about anything that happens in the Congress — at least not in electronic form.

It appears that you’re allowed to speak about what happens in Congress, but if you make a blog posting, or put other information on a web site, the Democrats will shut you down. So if you want to explain to your constituents (I know, it’s an outdated concept) what’s happening and why you voted a certain way on a law, you cannot do so via the Internet. If you do, Democrats will actually bring you up on charges.

Despite what the Democrats claim, they want total control. They want to control all access you have to them and their inner workings in Congress. They know that if they are filtered through the formerly mainstream media, that they will only be shown in a good light. They also know that the Internet can show them as they truly are — which is why they so strongly oppose freedom of speech. Sorry, but that IS today’s Democrat Party. Don’t believe me? Watch how bad speech rules will get if Obama wins. After all, Obama wants to create a HUGE internal federal secret police force to enforce his own rules and desires on people.

I have been trying to explain why the US government is completely and totally wrong and well-beyond it’s Constitutional boundaries regarding the recent economic news. I have been trying to explain that most of the current problems are because of government interference in freedom. I just read a news release from Chris Cole, running for the US Senate on the Libertarian Party ticket in North Carolina (against Liddy Dole (RINO)):

From Christopher Cole, Libertarian for US Senate

I am a collector of antique American currency. Included in my collection - and my personal favorites- are several gold certificates. Most Americans aren’t even aware that we once had bills that bore legends like “20 Dollars in Gold Coin Payable to the Bearer on Demand”. They are especially surprised by their orange back, intended to emphasize their value in gold. (The twenty bears the image of George Washington familiar from our modern one-dollar Federal Reserve Note.)

Why do I mention my collection? Because that twenty-dollar gold certificate was pegged at an exchange value of one ounce of gold. It was worth that ounce the first year, the second year, even ten years after it was printed. What is the price of an ounce of gold now? Over $800. In other words, the value of our currency has fallen more than fortyfold! No wonder the government no longer issues gold certificates, and no wonder our savings rate has fallen to about one-half of one percent. It is against self-interest to hold money that is worth less, the longer you hold on to it.

Thus, we have the setup for our current credit and foreclosure crisis.

When money is saved, its owner intends its use in the future, and the bank uses it to make loans, such as for the creation of new businesses. More savings mean lower interest rates, which in turn send a market signal for businesses and individuals to invest for future demand. The real interest rates based on savings have been replaced by artificial signals from Federal Reserve-set interest rates, along with home- and land-ownership incentives by government. The result has been a market expectation of future increases in demand for homes and land, and thus, a real-estate price bubble. All of which was fine, as long as there was an ACTUAL demand in the future. What has happened is that demand no longer matches the fake interest signal, and the housing bubble has burst.

The solution offered by politicians, such as Republican Senator Elizabeth Dole, is to pump Federal Reserve loans into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, to finance MORE loans for folks who couldn’t otherwise
qualify for them, setting up ANOTHER housing bubble and MORE foreclosures, not fewer. Quick fixes can always be expected to result in longterm problems.

The longterm solutions are harder. Here are the ones I would institute as Senator:

First, restore the gold standard, so Americans can know that they will not lose their savings to inflation.

Second, phase out government programs that subsidize home ownership. This must include setting a date for the revocation of the charters of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (I suggest four years), so that they will cease sending false market signals, without stranding current buyers and sellers.

And third, abolish the Federal Reserve System, enabling interest rates to float in response to real savings, rather than to government social engineering.

For additional information, I recommend this article from the Ludwig von Mises Institute, an economic think tank based at Auburn University.

So, have you been reading all the news about the current economic crisis in America? Have you, personally, lost millions of dollars in recent days? Or are you satisfied that you’re fine, you just head to work and get paid, and go buy your groceries, wondering what this is all about? Perhaps you’re thinking that this won’t effect you because you don’t have money invested in the stock market in the financial sector. Or do you? Do you really know where all your company’s retirement plans are invested? Do you know where all your mutual fund investments are stored? Let’s say you do, and you’re still not in those funds. So none of this will effect you, right? Certainly it shouldn’t, but it appears more and more that it will.

You see, our government has completely and totally lost track of the Constitution. Those elected officials in Washington, DC are prepared to completely violate their words and their solemn oath. All the Congressmen in office now swore:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God

But that was all just talk. All the actions they are considering this week are absolutely, unquestionably, in direct opposition to that statement.

Now I don’t like Disney. I’ve been to Disney World, when I was young. I do not like Disney and it’s politics, and I won’t give them any of my money to support their politics. But they have a very strange sense of reality (not surprising, knowing their political slant). The Disney company believes that if I choose to defend myself at a gas station while on the way to Disney World, their guests are not safe.

No, really. That’s what they are claiming.

At issue is an employee of Disney that wants to have a gun in his trunk in the employee lot. I can relate to this, because I once worked at a company that tried this with me. I explained to the company that if they did this, they would be personally and financially liable if anything happened to me on my way to or from work. They refused to acknowledge this fact. Therefore, I refused to allow them to disarm me on my way to work.

But in the case of Disney, the logic is just utterly insane (like much of the left today). How does having a gun in a car in the parking lot have ANY effect on ANYONE at the place of work? I seriously wonder if these people are so delusional to actually think that if they ban guns in cars that if someone is so brain-damaged as to want to go on a shooting spree that they will actually say, “Gee, I was going to shoot everyone up at work today, but since I’m not allowed to have a gun in my car, I guess I won’t.” What utter and total foolishness. Then again, that IS the Disney company, Democrats, and way, way too many voters today. I just want to be free and left alone. Apparently that’s too much to ask these days.

In Canada, it’s quite clear: the government. Once again I will attempt to explain to you, good reader, one item: the “Department of Child Welfare” (or whatever it’s called in your state) is the most evil and most destructive force in the world today. They are terrorists of the worst kind: supported and sponsored by large amounts of government force.

In this case, which I’m sure you’ve heard of by now, the children were removed from the home because the government was “worried the parents’ conduct and associations might harm the emotional well-being of the children and put them at risk.” In other words, quite literally, the state has decided that they own the children and if the state doesn’t like who you talk to, the state will take your children.

Know what’s even more risky than having a symbol drawn on your arm? Putting your kids in public schools. Can we get “social services” to take children away from those parents, too? Now I do realize that this happened in Canada, where they don’t have an attempt at having actual rights, but our Constitution has been ignored so long, I’m not sure the right of Assembly still exists, either.

Once again, the lesson is clear. This is yet another example that proves to me that if the department of social services/child welfare EVER shows up at your door and you have children, there WILL be one of two results, no matter if you have done anything wrong or not. Either you can run, flee, and hide from the government or you will lose your family. There is no possible other outcome.

I’m writing this post before the markets open on Monday morning, so who knows what effect the market will have on the information here. But what I’m writing about is the “corporations” of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. For those who don’t know anything about these entities, it’s pretty complex. But to make things simpler, they’re corporations that are government-sponsored. In other words, it’s a corporation, but it’s not one that a few people got together and formed with investment money — it’s a corporation that was formed by the government and has government backing.

This corporation also happens to be in business. It’s business is to give mortgages to people who aren’t trustworthy enough to get mortgages. It exists to take serious risks on people borrowing money to get houses — risks so high that individuals and banks run by non-government people don’t want to take them. And these companies have been taking these risks for a long time. They’ve taken so many risks that this corporation now has around $5 trillion worth of outstanding loans.

Most of the other companies that had been formed to take on high-risk loans, such as American Home Mortgage and Countrywide have already gone bankrupt. The only high-risk lender left is Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. And on Friday, their stock prices dropped to nearly worthless. I guess it’s good that it happened on Friday, as that gives the markets the weekend to wonder and figure out what happens on Monday.

You see, if these companies go bankrupt, there’s trouble. $5 trillion is a lot of money. Investors include lots of foreign countries, too. And if the company goes bankrupt, all that investment is gone. At the same time, the implicit indication has always been there that the US government is backing that company. In other words, if the company is set to go bankrupt, the US government has always agreed to back up that money — which means that if the government does back them up, that’s $5 trillion added to the US debt overnight. And no, the government cannot afford to add $5 trillion in one day (it’s about $9.5 trillion now). After all, they just spent about $6 billion covering Indy bank’s losses.

So what’s a country to do?

The McDonald’s Corporation has decided they do not like a lot of people. In an absolutely classic example of total doublespeak, their corporate spokesman has said that hatred has no place in our culture; therefore they’re going to support and actively promote organizations that are full of hatred towards the majority of the American country. He goes on to say that they want to support living in a world free of harassment while they give large sums of money to promote campaigns of harassment.

I don’t often get involved with boycotts. Sure, I’ve been boycotting all Chinese-made products for many years. But it seems to me that most organizations, especially large ones like McDonald’s, don’t really care — and they’re not often affected. But this time, I’m going to get involved and hope there’s an effect. You see, the McDonald’s corporation, and all their money, are supporting organizations that want to openly deny me my rights.

And no, I’m not trying to deny others rights — that’s the difference. If you want to be gay, you just go ahead and be gay. I WILL NOT STOP YOU. However, when you try and use the force of government to prevent me from disapproving of your actions, that’s wrong, plain and simple. And the McDonald’s corporation has drawn a line — they think I am full of hatred because I don’t want to approve of people who are gay. Once again, I won’t stop them, I don’t want to force anyone to do anything. And under the current management of McDonald’s, that makes me full of hatred.

Now I’m no big customer of McDonald’s. I used to stop by there about once a week or two for a breakfast sandwich or something. But no longer. I have no desire to give any of my money to a company that says that I’m full of hatred for wanting to be left alone. I hope you good readers will join me. And if you’d like, you can sign the petition, too.

So what are the headlines of the day? How about piles of things you already knew:

Clinton quits. Well, I suppose there was a chance she wasn’t going to quit, but anyone who really believed she wasn’t quitting today wasn’t dealing in reality (much where liberals usually live).

Our brilliant energy secretary has solved our energy crisis! produce more oil. Wow. I wonder how much taxpayer money we pay this bureaucrat to state the obvious. Gee, imagine that. Then again, I bet that IS news to Democrats, who bow to environmentalists and refuse to LET us produce more oil.

How about this one? Government favors Islam in England. Once again, the only appropriate response is, “DUH.” If you didn’t think that government prefers Islam in England, you’re either not paying attention or are intentionally ignorant. Islam IS the favored religion around the world, by governments everywhere. Members of this religion are favored and preferred by government and more protected than members of other religions.

But hey, at least in America we have government to protect us from docile horses walking down the street. Otherwise, people might walk around with horses around them everywhere because that would be a problem — according to our government.

So, Israel’s now openly saying they will stop Iran from making their own nukes. What I find rather interesting:

Mofaz has said that the United States would back any Israeli attack.

Do you really think so? I think perhaps Bush would. I’m not sure how public he’d be about it. He might even condemn the actions publicly. But how about Obama? Does anything think for even one minute that Obama would back up Israel if they attacked Iran to stop Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons? I think Obama would more likely be angry and would strongly condemn Israel for daring to attack a friend and ally of Obama. I think that if Obama is president, Israel will be on their own in the world for at least four years. And I suspect that Iran knows that.

We’ve also posted most of our current issue, including some stories that weren’t available a month ago: Max Schulz’s
eye-opening exposure of California’s “Potemkin environmentalism,” which pretends to be progressive while actually depending on heavy pollution; Myron Magnet’s brilliant analysis of Saul Bellow’s Mr. Sammler’s Planet, a deeply important novel for anyone who lives in a city; Nicole Gelinas’s

explanation of how New Orleans is rebuilding–from the bottom up; Judith Miller’s on-the-ground reporting about Basque terrorism; and, newly available today, Steven Malanga’s article on Bushwick, Brooklyn, one of New York’s most recalcitrant neighborhoods, which is finally making a comeback.

That’s such a big serving of material that I won’t go into all our Web-exclusive stories too–but here’s a link to the list, should you be interested.   Here’s another to the list of our timely book reviews.   And as always, I hope you’ll consider our regularly e-mailed alerts and RSS feeds .

Once again, more proof that justice is no longer blind. You may remember, especially if you’ve read posts here recently, that in Texas, hundreds of people were openly targeted by the Texas government because of their religion. They were illegally detained for months and not one person was punished for attempting to destroy these families in clear and open violation of the law and the Constitution.

Well, now in Virginia, there have been allegations of child abuse. This time, there is actually someone that exists that’s making the claim. So, let’s see… how many people has the government detained? Oh, none. Not one. I wonder why that is. Do you suppose it could have something to do with the religion of the people involved? I bet it does.

You see, in the VA case, the people involved (the accuser, the accused) are all Muslims. If the government were to detain a Muslim for any reason, there would be trouble — there would likely be riots and demonstrations in the street. Government is clear — if you’re Muslim, you are subject to different laws than if you are a member of a religion that the government doesn’t like. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a country where people were free to have any religion they wanted (as long as they didn’t kill other people) — and where government applied laws equally to people of all religions?

Well it’s likely that the next president will be either Juan McCain or Hate = Hope Obama. I know a large number of people that simply cannot vote for McCain. I know a bunch of people that will “throw away” their vote on Chuck Baldwin or Bob Barr. I know very few who will vote FOR McCain. I know even fewer that can rationally explain a reason for vote for Obama (but who will vote for him anyway).

There’s also the rather vocal crowd that says let Obama win so the Democrats can screw the country and we can re-start the Republican Party. Now, I’m not advocating for Juan, but be sure you know what you’re getting with Obama. The man is evil and absolutely full of hatred. And he is part of the Democrat Party that does not believe in rules — or that rules are for “the other guy.”

He is a member of the Democrat Party that thinks sex with animals is perfectly okay. This is the Democrat Party that believes not on was the Kelo decision right in determining that NO subjects citizens have ANY property rights; but also that cities should be able to take property away from people who don’t even live in their city. This is the Democrat Party that thrives on creating victims out of, well, anyone except white, heterosexual, Christian males.

And this is Obama who has as advisors hate-filled hate mongering liars like Louis Farrakhan. This is the Obama who, when faced with the current economic crisis in America has “hope” for a number of solutions — ALL which involve people paying more for oil, gas, food, electronics, and paying more money to government for everything. All “change” is not good — and Obama’s “change” will only be for the worse. Obama won’t bring real change. He won’t bring real hope — but there is one way to see and have REAL hope and REAL change — without punishing everyone who works and is productive.

So brace yourself now — under President Hateful Obama, things will get a lot worse. Unfortunately, under Juan McCain, they won’t be much better — but at least they won’t be as racist and hateful.

So, remember the innocent people in Texas who have had their families destroyed by the government? Oh yes, they are innocent — you didn’t get that from the news reports? There have been zero convictions of any crimes. There has been zero EVIDENCE of any crimes. But none of that matters. The state has absolutely destroyed the lives of hundreds of people simply because they had a religion that some people didn’t like.

And as I predicted, it didn’t end when the Texas Appeals Court ruled that the actions of the government were wrong. It didn’t even end when the Texas Supreme Court ruled that the state not only should never have seized the children and destroyed the families and that the state should return the children. No, now one Judge Barbara Walther has said, “Gee, I don’t care that the government broke all sorts of laws in taking these children. I don’t care that the lives of the children are being destroyed every day that they’re separated from their parents. I don’t care that no one broke any laws and they’re being punished anyway. In fact, I don’t even care that the Texas Supreme Court ordered me to give the children back. I’m keeping them in foster care because I want to.”

Barbara Simpson has much the same viewpoint of this entire, horrible mess.

Since we know that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” I wonder it would look like for the government to “becomes destructive of these ends.” Because this situation sure looks like that to me. And after all, “it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

I think it is crystal clear that “a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,” and that it is past time to “throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” But at the same time, I realize that “all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” Well, when the rest of you have had enough and want freedom, just drop me a line — that is if the government hasn’t decided to get rid of me yet. Oh, how I yearn for freedom.

Update, 10:45 AM EDT:

Now the headlines report Judge Orders Return of children. What a damn load. The parents have been permitted by government to pick up some children. Oh, and in order to do so, the parents have to sign over various rights to the government. Now why is it that if I force someone to sign a contract and threaten to kidnap their children if they do not sign; that my contract is invalid — but if Judge Walther does so, it’s perfectly legal? This is still wrong, and has been wrong all along. The government is way, way out of control and Judge Walther refuses to relinquish her power and unconstitutional and unlawful authority. The families are not allowed to leave Texas. I would suggest the only hope for these families is to immediately and quickly depart that state and go into hiding. This is a TEMPORARY order. As part of this order, these families have been ordered to sign over ALL rights. They have NO fourth amendment protections left (as if they had any before). In other words, as a condition of releasing the kidnapped children, the parents have to agree to allow the state to take the children back at any time.

There is one message and one clear option. These parents should get their children and flee. They should hide because the state WILL take the children back whenever this judge decides she wants to. Need I remind you good readers? NO ONE has been convicted of ANY wrongdoing at all. This judge has NO right to order these parents to sign over all rights of their children. This judge should be overthrown. But alas, no, people are allowing this to continue because they don’t like this religion. Indeed, these are the end days of Western Civilization and freedom in this country. Just you wait. It may Texas and this government that soon declares it openly illegal to be a Christian, too.

No, really. Just hand it over. You can send it to me in check or money order, or just cash is fine. But I demand you send me your money. Now if you’re an employee of SuperAmerica, or if you listen to the advice of police chiefs everywhere, you have no choice. You should not resist. You should just hand me your cash now — even Capt. Rick Mathwig of the Roseville Police Department says that you should.

There’s so many things wrong with this situation, I don’t know where to begin.

But hey, if you want to rob a store, just head on over to the SuperAmerica (and most other C-Stores have the same policy). If you put a mask on, the employees won’t stop you and the police will make no attempt to catch you. Honestly, you can just walk in and demand money and no one cares — absolutely no one. Now use common sense if you want some cash — be sure to not rob them when the police are actually in the parking lot. If they’re not, just feel free to grab money whenever you need it — you won’t get in any trouble and no one will resist.

I seriously think that more people need to start ripping off (robbing is such a strong word since there’s zero risk) more and more of these stores. When the store starts getting stuck and can’t find anyone to work there because they’re worried about being robbed, maybe the store will do something. I doubt it, though.

And hey, if you’re worried that you can’t get enough cash from one store, there’s four SuperAmericas in Roseville, MN that you’re allowed to rob without anyone caring. Heck, if you only get $15 a night, that’s $300 a week (assuming you take weekends off). Go on, head on over and grab some free cash — no one will stop you.
