"The most stable country in the world", working hard to produce an unstable element (U235).
Never re-elect anyone. I've already started voting against all incumbents.....regardless of party....regardless of the job they did. The reelection of incumbents simply insures their corruption at some point in the future.....so don't do it.
Fair Tax and Term limits are the two most critical changes we could make to really turn things around.
Yes......I can support that.
The FED does a lot, but not what is best for the people. The FED manipulates interest rates and the money supply to ensure that no deflationary scenario ever takes place.......it has one purpose and that is to ensure constant steady inflation (they call it growth) in order to promote bank lending and consumption of goods and services by the peole. Deflation is viewed as the enemy by the FED, but deflation is also a healthy phase that will deflate bubbles before they get to big (like what has happened to us today). The fact that it will not allow deflation of any sort is not healthy for the economy because that is the missing half of the cycle that would ensure a more stable economy. Unfortunately, the FED (banks and the big corporate interests) will never allow prices to go down in a deflationary period because it does not generate profits for them. Yeah the FED does a lot, but only on one side of the business cycle and that is what's killing us.
Amen to that.....there would be no stability for the dollar what so ever and it would be worthless in short order. Return to the gold standard (or something that can't be manipulated) is the only answer.
Unfortunately, a republic only works when the citizens are a moral people and are educated on the issues. That is not the case today. Most voters simply listen to uninformed sound bites and pull the lever for the guy they voted for last time. Sad but true. Term limiting these clowns is the only way to keep them from perpetually feeding at the public trough. When every state literally has millions of people in it to choose from why do we need the same guy to represent us time and time again.......I refuse to believe that only he/she is equiped to do the job?
Scott, that was a tongue-in-cheek response. You know.....sarcasm.
Stop leaving debt for future generations. It is really amazing to think that President Jefferson actually foresaw this very problem and tried to address it with some means of clearing the books of all debt after a certain number of years......he was not successful. I may be wrong about this, but I think the Mulims have this concept in their societies. That may be why their banking practices are not as stimulative as ours. Some sort of compromise system might be in order. The current practice of stealing from the unborn is not the answer.
