Arkansas Tea Party Fears Bankruptcy of Federal Government

Consider a story told by a bankruptcy attorney. If a consumer went to his or her bank the same way that the congress goes to the American People in the form of currency and borrowing, the family would likely be turned around by the banker over and over again. The very fact that a family would visit their bank or other lender and ask for more credit once theyre already far too over-extended is quite absurd.

So what should a family do if they are in a desperate situation financially and need a fresh start to get their family back on track again? Certainly there are a few options, one of which is bankruptcy, but certainly it is not the only option. For a person considering bankruptcy, its important to realize that most of the time, there is another way out prior to getting to the point where bankruptcy is located. Somewhere on a path that ends in a bankruptcy refresh, a family or a head of family, or certainly even any single person who contemplates their finances can read the writing on the wall about things being bad. But the question then becomes one of how did they get there and can they figure out how to get back into the light as opposed to being under the dark and heavy weight of burdensome debt.

So how do you prevent bankruptcy? To prevent bankruptcy, often the willpower of good financial decision making is needed. But more than that can also be required in some situations. You see, most people think that a person chooses to get into a situation that eventually leads to bankruptcy. As a matter of convenience, it is easier for a person to look at those filing bankruptcy and to assume that the person chose a lifestyle which ended in bankruptcy. But many of these people making such assumptions do not realize that bankruptcy is most commonly caused by medical reasons over any other financial hardship.

That said, certainly those people who find themselves in that situation could have had insurance, or some safety net which could help them. Yes, this is the case, but not always. So when you consider your options, make sure that throughout your life you choose to save for a rainy day. Heck, whether a person has not filed, or has filed bankruptcy. It is paramount to save for a rainy day!

How to Host an Afternoon Tea Party

Ralf Nau/Digital Vision/Getty Images

When thinking about tea parties, do you find yourself overwhelmed with thoughts of the British gentry, scenes from Alice in Wonderland, Victorian decor, blue haired ladies and pinky fingers stuck up in the air? If so, you're both right and wrong. You're right because as the tradition of "Afternoon" Tea has developed over time, it has become an elegant affair. You're wrong because "High" Tea was often enjoyed by the British working class as their evening supper, with heartier fare than the tea sandwiches and scones that are now associated with tea parties.

As the custom has evolved, tea time is usually scheduled from mid to late afternoon. It's a between meal snack that is a lot more elegant than a bag of chips from the vending machine. It needn't be extremely fussy, although the meal often includes savory, bite size sandwiches, scones or biscuits, and sweets (along with a good pot of tea, of course!) Both men and women enjoy afternoon tea in England, and it's often used as a function for entertaining business clients.

An Afternoon Tea Party is suitable for many celebrations. When you'd like to host a party that isn't as involved as a dinner party, a tea party can be the answer. It's an ideal format for a bridal or baby shower, a retirement party, a birthday celebration, or time to catch up with good friends. The food is prepared before your guests arrive, and is either presented buffet style, or by passing plates of goodies at the table. The only thing you need to serve is the tea itself, leaving you plenty of time to relax and enjoy your guests. Your guest list can include dozens of people or only one good friend with whom you'd like to share an intimate conversation. It can be a very formal affair as you'll find at some of the more elegant hotels, or it can be as casual as a pot of tea and some cookies.

Whatever your reason for hosting your next tea party, enjoy a cup for me!

In many parts of the world, tea time is an honored tradition of refinement and elegance. When you're planning a tea party -- whether for a shower, graduation, birthday, or just for fun -- adorn your table with your best china, silver, and linens.

These add polish and grace to the occasion, and in our "paper cup" world they remind us fondly of earlier times.

Read Mark Levin's Ameritoia, we all should read and then re-read it. Mark plays the audio of the PBS series on Milton Friedman's Free to Choose first in book form (http://commonsensecapitalism.blogspot.com/p/free-to-choose.html) And add "Liberty & Tyranny," together these clearly states why almost all of our republican candidates need to read these books. You can not go into battle with statists, Idealogs, and a teacher of "Rules for Radicals" and talk to a public raised for 80 years on statism without being able to present the difference between:

Created equal to we are all equal, the basis of classes being defined and then placed against each other by statist.

Pursuit of happiness to minimum wage, Obama or Romney Care and any mandated coverage, non-right to work states, etc. increasing unemployment by making the entry barrier high.

Taxation with out representation to the 100 yr growth of the leviathan, fourth branch of government that is legislating without being elected.

Our United State was formed to create an army for defense. Read Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel. I would follow that up with a very resent example by S. C. Gwynne's Empire of the Summer Moon. The Spanish opened Texas to us so that we would be the buffer that would be killed by Comanches. Comanches stopped Spain from moving into Louisiana a few centuries earlier so they sold us land they could not settle. Colt 45 and the Winchester rifle at the end of the 19th century gave us a military advantage. The people on the ground would have kill all the Comanches and felt no remorse. Superior Technology produced in volume and applied when needed is the message I received from the last two books.

(NOTE: everyone of these book is a best seller)
