I happened to click on the bookmark for this site the other day and realized I am not making regular posts as noted in the blogger guidelines. In order to restore my standing among my counterparts, I have resolved to make a more concerted effort heretofore.
Having taken note of our now former President sending 1.7 billion (1700 million) in cash to Iran led me to make some un-Christian remarks, that fortunately only my wife heard. Normally, such a move would not cause much concern, but since Iran is the largest supporter of terrorism in the world, I could see this cash passing to the terrorist groups who would use it to purchase, on the black market, weapons and ammo. Sort of reverse money laundering, I reckon. This really stuck in my craw because recently I was told by my bank that any withdrawal of cash in an amount over $10,000 from my account would be reported to the government, who in turn could seize all my bank accounts because I might be guilty of dealing in illegal drugs. It would be up to me to prove my innocence without any funds to pay for legal representation.
Over the years I have purchased many vehicles and other items from people for cash. One usually can bargain for a better price if cash is used for payment and if the item is meant for resale, the profit can be increased.
It just gripes me that our government treats me like a criminal and can seize my assets with only suspicion as cause.
