If Bobby thinks he is bruised now, then he needs to read about the guy in Proverbs 7:10-27 and what happened to him. I really am hoping that Bobby Petrino can put his marriage back together. He has a clear choice between two paths. In the sermon at Fellowship Bible Church at July 24, 2011, […]

Dear Senator Pryor, why not pass the Balanced Budget Amendment? (“Thirsty Thursday”, Open letter to Senator Pryor)

Dear Senator Pryor,

Why not pass the Balanced Budget Amendment? As you know that federal deficit is at all time high (1.6 trillion deficit with revenues of 2.2 trillion and spending at 3.8 trillion).

On my blog www.HaltingArkansasLiberalswithTruth.com I took you at your word and sent you over 100 emails with specific spending cut ideas. However, I did not see any of them in the recent debt deal that Congress adopted. Now I am trying another approach. Every week from now on I will send you an email explaining different reasons why we need the Balanced Budget Amendment. It will appear on my blog on “Thirsty Thursday” because the government is always thirsty for more money to spend.

Huntsman Supports Radical Balanced Budget Amendment

Brian Beutler | June 20, 2011, 20digg

Jon Huntsman

In a private conference call with a handful of university students across the country, GOP Presidential hopeful — and President Obama’s former Ambassador to China — Jon Huntsman argued in support of one of the most far-reaching, controversial elements of the conservative political agenda.

As first reported in a broader piece by theHuffington Post, Huntsman argued in favor of a constitutional amendment requiring the federal government to maintain a balanced budget — an innocuous-sounding, but radical plan pushed by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) and numerous other congressional conservatives.

“We’re going to have to fight for a balanced budget amendment,” Huntsman said. “Every governor in this country has a balanced budget amendment. It keeps everybody honest. It’s the best safeguard imaginable.”

At its core, a balanced-budget amendment would make it unconstitutional for the government to spend more than it collects in revenue — a requirement that, without safeguards, would make stimulus and emergency spending impossible.

Faced with a similar requirement, states responded to the recession with budget cuts that exacerbated the downturn.

But Republicans on the Hill have taken the idea a step further to the right by including a provision that would make it functionally impossible for the government to raise taxes. The goal, then, is to force future Congresses to slash or eliminate federal spending programs — which disproportionately benefit the needy and elderly — to bring them in line with a revenue base that’s likely to shrink over time.

It’s unclear whether Huntsman supports this version of a Balanced Budget Amendment, or a less extreme one. But the nature of the idea is such that it allows conservatives to signal their support for slashing programs without providing the unpopular details. And in the GOP primary, this will likely be a key test for candidates hoping to curry favor with influential conservatives like DeMint.

What is the debtwall and when are we going to hit it?

It appears to me that we can not continue to borrow money at this pace:
World Sovereign Deficits Analysis Chart
August 25, 2011

There is a limited amount of money that the world’s sovereign governments can borrow in any single given year without pressuring interest rates to rise above the point of affordability. This limit is approximately 9% of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP). The following graph chart demonstrates this concept.

The world’s GDP has been hovering around $60 trillion for the past three years. The orange line on the chart is 9% of recorded world GDP. The blue line is 10% of world GDP. The teal line is the combined collective deficits of all world governments. The red line is the individual sovereign deficits of the United States. The purple line is emerging and developing economies which includes non-G7 and non-G20 economies. The dark blue indigo line is the European Union. And the olive green line is advanced economies without the U.S. and Europe. This would be the G20 countries’ economies.

Again, the teal line is the combination of the red, purple, indigo and olive individual country economy totals. Prior to 2008, combined world government deficits were well below 9%. In response to the 2008 worldwide economic meltdown, governments made one-time extraordinary expenditures to keep the world’s economy afloat. This included TARP, Stimulus, bank and corporate bailouts, and ongoing structural deficits. This number peaked, as one would expect, in 2009. 2010 was an extension of those extraordinary expenditures. The definition of a Debt Wall is the point at which total world government deficit spending exceeds 9%, and thereby forces interest rates to rise above the point of affordability for sovereign government borrowing. The simple formula to know when one has reached the Debt Wall is:

World Gross Domestic Product x Y(9%) – combined world government deficits = 0 or less

Applying this formula to 2009 world spending illustrates why the United States Federal Reserve implemented QE1. Their purported reason was to keep interest rates down, and that’s exactly what they did. As the Debt Wall Index approached zero, it was necessary to print money rather than borrow it. QE2 was an extension of QE1 and part of the same process. What is alarming now is that the projections of world government deficit spending for 2012 again approaches the ceiling of world liquidity and the Debt Wall. The only difference is that now, deficit spending is not extraordinary, it is structural. This means that it goes on forever unless the economy grows faster than the percent of deficit spending to the overall GDP. Given the fact that total government and world debt is approaching 100% of GDP, the world cannot afford higher interest rates, even for a short period of time.

The projected GDP of the world in 2012 is approximately $60.25 trillion. The amount of cash available to fund government deficit spending on a world basis is approximately $5.4 trillion. As the world’s governments continue to borrow and spend, we are on a collision course with the Debt Wall. The Debt Wall Index is a countdown to this collision. If the economy grows faster than we have projected, the Debt Wall Index will be adjusted to reflect that. On current projections of economic growth and government spending, the Debt Wall will be hit by July 31, 2012.

Bobby Petrino gets tripped up by “moral clause”

Moral clause caught up with Bobby Petrino this time around. In the article below you will read “the lure of beautiful young women can also be an irresistible combination.” Never was there a more true statement. Adultery is a trap that will get many men who are not watching where they are walking. Below I have posted what Proverbs 7 had to say about the trap of adultery and these words were penned by the wisest man who ever lived (Solomon).

Arkansas AD Jeff Long steps up and fires football coach Bobby Petrino

04/11/2012

Bobby Petrino was fired as Arkansas’ football coach on Tuesday. (Icon SMI)

By Ben Cook, Lindyssports.com columnist

When all the mess broke loose at Penn State, Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long was probably glad he was not in the shoes of Penn State athletic director Tim Curley. But when Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino went off the road with his motorcycle on April 1^st, Long quickly found out it was no April Fool’s joke.

He also found out he was suddenly in Curley’s shoes.

The circumstances were different, but a nasty mess was dropped into Long’s lap and in his hastily called news conference on the evening of April 5^th it was apparent that Long was not prepared for this. After all, Petrino was his man and bringing him to Fayetteville from the Atlanta Falcons was considered a big feather in Long’s cap.

But Long’s golden boy had lied to him in his initial conversations about the accident. Petrino had said that he was alone on his motorcycle, Which is what he told everybody including his family and his boss.

But Petrino was not alone. In fact, he was with Jessica Dorrell, a 25-year old former Razorback volleyball player and current Razorback Foundation fundraiser who also happens to be quite a looker.

Petrino held a news conference and said that no other individuals were involved and Petrino’s family, which includes a wife and four children, also released a statement saying that nobody else was involved.

And then it all went down the drain when a police report was released that said Petrino was not alone and was in fact with Dorrell. Petrino then said that he had kept quiet about Dorrell out of concern for his family and presumably for Dorrell. But in the aftermath things got worse and worse.

“My concern was to protect my family and a previous inappropriate relationship from becoming public. In hindsight, I showed a serious mistake in judgment when I chose not to be more specific about those details,” said Petrino. “Today I’ve acknowledged this previous inappropriate relationship with my family and those within the athletic department administration.”

That’s when Long’s involvement got dicey. He met with the media last Thursday night and said basically that he was putting the coach on paid administrative leave while he sorted out all the details. Other than that, Long had no other answers. He didn’t know how long the leave would be. He claimed to have no knowledge of any morals clause in Petrino’s contract. He didn’t know if Dorrell would be put on leave. He didn’t know if Petrino’s job was in jeopardy. In fact, Long didn’t appear to know anything and he was clearly uncomfortable talking about it.

Remember, Petrino was Long’s hire and he had to be thinking that Curley had lost his job at Penn State because of his inaction in the Jerry Sandusky case. Could inaction to come down hard on Petrino be considered in the same manner as Curley’s inaction? That had to be running through Long’s mind. On the other hand, Petrino is wildly popular in Arkansas after going 21-5 in the past two seasons. Coming down hard on Petrino could incite Razorback fans to turn on Long.

Several hundred Arkansas fans held a “Save our Coach” rally Monday in Fayetteville. So Petrino had what he calls “an inappropriate relationship” with a young female employee who was hired by Petrino. Was the hiring a payback for the relationship? Perhaps to keep it quiet? Who knows? Petrino can call it “an inappropriate relationship” all he wants, but everybody else will call it an affair and he will not be able to dodge that for the rest of his life.

Petrino also said, “My hope is to repair my relationships with my family, my athletic director, the Razorback Nation and remain the coach of the Razorbacks.”

Going 21-5 in two years normally would go a long way toward repairing his standing with Razorback Nation, who probably don’t much care that he had a girl on the side, especially if they’ve seen her.

Mending fences with his athletic director who had to face up to the fact that Petrino had lied to him, would be tougher. Clearly Long didn’t want to fire Petrino, but he felt the pressure for a dramatic gesture. And he was the boss. The buck stopped with him. The integrity of the University of Arkansas was in his hands.

Tuesday Long took action and fired Petrino.

The coach who walked out on the Atlanta Falcons before the season had even ended to go to Arkansas had the rug pulled out from under him in the middle of spring practice. His “inappropriate relationship” with Dorrell was his downfall

Mending fences with his family might also be another story. Who knows how his wife and kids might react to this situation.

That’s why I can’t help but wonder why coaches — any coaches — would risk all of that for “an inappropriate relationship”. It has happened before in the SEC and will likely happen again and probably every athletic director in the conference is praying that his coaches never put them in Jeff Long’s shoes.

But let’s face it; every coach has two things that make him a target — power and money. For some women that is an irresistible combination. But don’t forget, it takes two to make an “inappropriate relationship” and for coaches who have the money and power, the lure of beautiful young women can also be an irresistible combination.With that money and power comes great responsibility. Like it or not, coaches are role models as leaders of young men and are faces of responsibility.

So coaches beware: if you are forced to pay the piper, the fall can be devastating

According to Solomon where will adultery end up?

Proverbs 7:5-27

The Message (MSG)

Proverbs 7

Dressed to Seduce

^1-5 Dear friend, do what I tell you; treasure my careful instructions.
Do what I say and you’ll live well.
   My teaching is as precious as your eyesight—guard it!
Write it out on the back of your hands;
   etch it on the chambers of your heart.
Talk to Wisdom as to a sister.
   Treat Insight as your companion.
They’ll be with you to fend off the Temptress—
   that smooth-talking, honey-tongued Seductress.

^6-12 As I stood at the window of my house
   looking out through the shutters,
Watching the mindless crowd stroll by,
   I spotted a young man without any sense
Arriving at the corner of the street where she lived,
   then turning up the path to her house.
It was dusk, the evening coming on,
   the darkness thickening into night.
Just then, a woman met him—
   she’d been lying in wait for him, dressed to seduce him.
Brazen and brash she was,
   restless and roaming, never at home,
Walking the streets, loitering in the mall,
   hanging out at every corner in town.

^13-20 She threw her arms around him and kissed him,
   boldly took his arm and said,
“I’ve got all the makings for a feast—
   today I made my offerings, my vows are all paid,
So now I’ve come to find you,
   hoping to catch sight of your face—and here you are!
I’ve spread fresh, clean sheets on my bed,
   colorful imported linens.
My bed is aromatic with spices
   and exotic fragrances.
Come, let’s make love all night,
   spend the night in ecstatic lovemaking!
My husband’s not home; he’s away on business,
   and he won’t be back for a month.”

^21-23 Soon she has him eating out of her hand,
   bewitched by her honeyed speech.
Before you know it, he’s trotting behind her,
   like a calf led to the butcher shop,
Like a stag lured into ambush
   and then shot with an arrow,
Like a bird flying into a net
   not knowing that its flying life is over.

^24-27 So, friends, listen to me,
   take these words of mine most seriously.
Don’t fool around with a woman like that;
   don’t even stroll through her neighborhood.
Countless victims come under her spell;
   she’s the death of many a poor man.
She runs a halfway house to hell,
   fits you out with a shroud and a coffin.

How about a coach swap? :Charlie Strong to Arkansas and Bobby Petrino to Louisville

Everybody is talking about what a great coaching job Bobby Petrino did at Arkansas and what a shame it is that legally he can not stay. However, maybe there is a place where he would be welcome? If there is any place that I know of that would come close to welcoming him with open arms then it would be Louisville.

If the Razorbacks turn to Charlie Strong as their next coach then look for this possibility to play out. Below is a story (Coachingsearch.com) that mentions Charlie Strong as possible candidate for the Razorback job. (ArkansasSports360 mentioned Strong too.)

If Petrino is dismissed, here’s a list of candidates at Arkansas

Posted by: Pete Roussel on April 6, 2012

At this point, Bobby Petrino’s future as the Arkansas head coach remains in doubt.

Late Thursday evening, athletic director Jeff Long announced that Petrino had been placed on paid administrative leave after failing to disclose that a 25-year-old female employee had been riding with Petrino during his motorcycle crash over the weekend.

Petrino stated that he wanted to protect his family and avoid the “inappropriate relationship from becoming public.”

Jeff Long stated on Thursday night, “I hope to have a resolution soon. I certainly don’t have all the answers here tonight, as we meet. But again, I have an obligation and responsibility to obtain the information and then act appropriately on that information.”

Linebackers / assistant head coach Taver Johnson will lead the team during Petrino’s absence, which comes at a time when Arkansas appears to be primed for a legitimate national championship run.

Even offensive coordinator / quarterbacks coach Paul Petrino recently said, “We want to win it all.”

In case Petrino is eventually dismissed, I believe Jeff Long would opt to stay the course through the 2012 season.

At this point, it’s not for me to say whether I think he should be dismissed. As Will Muschamp pointed out this week, only the person that has all the information can make decisions like these. There are different levels of consequence and sometimes the media doesn’t know the entire situation. In this case, Jeff Long will gather information and make a decision.

EITHER WAY, HERE IS A LIST OF CANDIDATES THAT ARKANSAS COULD TARGET:

Skip Holtz (South Florida) – It would be hard to imagine Holtz passing on the opportunity to coach in the SEC over some of the newly created pitfalls that come with the new realigned Big East. He attended Fayetteville HS. His father, Lou, served as the head coach of the Razorbacks from 1977-83.

David Shaw (Stanford) – Stanford head coach David Shaw (39) finished 11-2 in his first year as a head coach. His NFL experience includes stints with the Eagles, Raiders, and Ravens. Shaw has proven that he can recruit, coach, win the big game, and handle the national spotlight. Stanford really likes Shaw, but the athletic department doesn’t typically pay their coaches anywhere near what Arkansas could pay.

Paul Rhoads (Iowa State) – Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long is familiar with Rhoads, who served as the Pitt defensive coordinator from 2000-07. Long previously served as the AD at Pitt before coming to Arkansas in 2008. Rhoads did, however, agree to a new mega contract this off-season.

Chris Petersen (Boise State) – I was shocked that Petersen chose to stay at Boise State after the 2011 season. Maybe it’s because the right job didn’t open up. Petersen lost several assistant coaches in the off-season, something he may not have expected. Kellen Moore isn’t around, either.

Pat Fitzgerald (Northwestern) – In six seasons at Northwestern, Fitzgerald is 40-36. He passed on the opportunity to talk with Michigan before Brady Hoke was hired. It would surprise me if Fitzgerald (37) remains at Northwestern for the remainder of his career. For some reason, I feel the need to point out that Fitzgerald has served as part of the AFCA Ethics Committee and is highly respected as a person and coach.

Others: Butch Davis, Jim Leavitt (San Francisco 49ers – linebackers), Butch Jones (Cincinnati), Charlie Strong (Louisville)

I don’t see Tommy Tuberville or Gus Malzahn as candidates for the job

Spending cut suggestions sent to Senator Mark Pryor electronically every Monday and displayed here on the www.thedailyhatch.org

Senator Mark Pryor wants our ideas on how to cut federal spending. Take a look at this video clip below:

I have faithfully sent spending cut suggestions to Senator Mark Pryor every Monday for almost a year now and at the same time I have posted all of them on www.thedailyhatch.org every monday after they have been sent electronically.

I have suggested cutting out the complete Dept of Education on several occasions.

GUIDELINE #4: Terminate failed, outdated, and irrelevant programs.

President Ronald Reagan once pointed out that “a government bureau is the closest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on earth.” A large portion of the current federal bureaucracy was created during the 1900s, 1930s, and 1960s in attempts to solve the unique problems of those eras.

Instead of replacing the outdated programs of the past, however, each period of government activism has built new programs on top of them. Ford Motor Company would not waste money today by building outdated Model T’s alongside their current Mustangs and Explorers. However, in 2004, the federal government still refuses to close down old agencies such as the Rural Utilities Service (designed to bring phones to rural America) and the U.S. Geological Survey (created to explore and detail the nation’s geography).

Government must be made light and flexible, adaptable to the new challenges the country will face in the 21st century. Weeding out the failed and outdated bureaucracies of the past will free resources to modernize the government.

Status Quo Bias. Lawmakers often acknowledge that certain programs show no positive effects. Regrettably, they also refuse to terminate even the most irrelevant programs. The most obvious reason for this timidity is an aversion to fighting the special interests that refuse to let their pet programs end without a bloody fight.

A less obvious reason is that eliminating government programs seems reckless and bold to legislators who have never known a federal government without them. Although thousands of programs have come and gone in the nation’s 228-year history, virtually all current programs were created before most lawmakers came to Washington. For legislators who are charged with budgeting and implementing the same familiar programs year after year, a sense of permanency sets in, and termination seems unfathomable.7 No one even remembers when a non-government entity addressed the problems.

The Department of Energy, for example, has existed for just one-tenth of the country’s history, yet closing it down seems ridiculous to those who cannot remember the federal government before 1977 and for whom appropriating and overseeing the department has been an annual ritual for years. Lawmakers need a long-term perspective to assure them the sky does not fall when a program is terminated. For example, the Bureau of Mines and the U.S. Travel and Tourism Administration, both closed in 1996, are barely remembered today.8

Instead of just assuming that whoever created the programs decades ago must have been filling some important need that probably exists today, lawmakers should focus on the future by asking themselves the following question: If this program did not exist, would I vote to create it? Because the answer for scores of programs would likely be “no,” Congress should:

Close down failed or outdated agencies, programs, and facilities, including:

The U.S. Geological Survey9 (2004 spending: $841 million, discretionary);10
The Maritime Administration ($633 million, discretionary);
The International Trade Commission ($61 million, discretionary);
The Economic Development Administration ($417 million, discretionary);
The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program ($1,892 million, discretionary);
The Technology Opportunities Program ($12 million, discretionary);
Obsolete military bases;
The Appalachian Regional Commission ($94 million, discretionary);
Obsolete Veterans Affairs facilities;
The Rural Utilities Service (-$1,493 million,11 mandatory); and
Repeal Public Law 480′s non-emergency international food programs ($127 million, discretionary)

This is how bad it is getting:

Discretionary spending is the portion of the annual budget that Congress actually determines.
Since 2000, discretionary outlays surged 79 percent faster than inflation, to $1,408 billion. The “stimulus” is responsible for $111 billion of 2010 discretionary spending.
Between 1990 and 2000, $80 billion annually in new domestic spending was more than fully offset by a $100 billion cut in annual defense and homeland security spending, leaving (inflation-adjusted) discretionary spending slightly lower.
Since 2000, all types of discretionary spending have grown rapidly.
Overall, since 1990, domestic discretionary spending has risen 104 percent faster than inflation and defense/security discretionary spending has risen 51 percent.

Bobby Petrino statement

Statement of Bobby Petrino

By The Associated Press – 3 hours ago

The statement issued Tuesday night by fired Arkansas football coach Bobby Petrino:

“I was informed in writing today at 5:45 p.m. that I was being terminated as head football coach at the University of Arkansas.

The simplest response I have is: I’m sorry. These two words seem very inadequate. But that is my heart. All I have been able to think about is the number of people I’ve let down by making selfish decisions. I’ve taken a lot of criticism in the past. Some deserved, some not deserved. This time, I have no one to blame but myself.

I chose to engage in an improper relationship. I also made several poor decisions following the end of that relationship and in the aftermath of the accident. I accept full responsibility for what has happened.

I’m sure you heard (athletic director) Jeff Long’s reasons for termination. There was a lot of information shared. Given the decision that has been made, this is not the place to debate Jeff’s view of what happened. In the end, I put him in the position of having to sort through my mistakes and that is my fault.

I have hurt my wife Becky and our four children. I’ve let down the University of Arkansas, my team, coaching staff and everyone associated with the Razorback football program. As a result of my personal mistakes, we will not get to finish our goal of building a championship program. I wish that I had been given the opportunity to meet with the players and staff prior to this evening’s press conference and hope that I will be given the opportunity to give my apologies and say my goodbyes in person. We have left the program in better shape than we found it and I want the Razorback Nation to know that is my hope that the program achieves the success it deserves.

My sole focus at this point is trying to repair the damage I’ve done to my family. They did not ask for any of this and deserve better. I am committed to being a better husband, father and human being as a result of this and will work each and every day to prove that to my family, friends and others.

I love football. I love coaching. I of course hope I can find my way back to the profession I love. In the meantime, I will do everything I can to heal the wounds I have created.

I want to thank Chancellor Gearhart, Jeff Long, the Board of Trustees, the university administration, faculty, staff, students, alumni and fans for the opportunity to serve as the head football coach at the University of Arkansas for the past four years. I was not given an opportunity to continue in that position. I wish that had been the case, but that was not my decision. I wish nothing but the best for the Razorback football program, the University and the entire Razorback Nation.”
