Oh the numbers are adding up alright. One trillion, two trillion, three trillion.....

lmao!!!!!

We already have a type of Socialistic system. It was that way before I was born.

I am able to email his people and have.

It started before this administration.

Good show.

because the direction he is taking us in, is the same that has cause many nations to collapse.

Just encourage strict adherence to the constitution, and you really can't go wrong.

That means he needs to change his ways. Throw out the patriot act and any attempt at censorship of the media. That means he should change our foreign policy to one of nonintervention, and we should work to gain a stable (PERMANENT) monetary system.

I would love to see his followers encourage this...

I told his people to cut some pork off the stimulus package and listen to our Senator that is his friend and was saying the same thing. They emailed back.

oooh, then maybe they should send a hellicopter down to your house, pick you up and bring you to washington to show them how to do all of this winx.

Sure, smarty. They have us email and give our opinions. It's part of community action.

so, even if you have no real knowledge of policies and politics, they value your opinion? an opinion no less, that isn't based on all of the facts that are at their fingertips? do you really believe that your are their moral police?

or their civilian advisor?

Do you?

i know more than you do.

and apparently, it will stay that way if you keep going in the direction that you're going.

I remember those days, don't you Winx? When we were young and fresh and thought we knew it all?

I am so glad that I don't have that problem anymore.

dragoness, the fact that you didn't look to see what my age is, and just assumed that i'm just a youngin, gives me a very good insight as to your type of research for the truth.

That's a definite start. But the problem isn't with the pork. It's with the whole system. The stimulus shouldn't even exist. Instead spending cuts in government should be made. And tax cuts need to be negociated for corporations as incentive to come back, or stay. Taxes should be added to those corporations that outsource. Etc.

As much as i hate pork, the way our system works under what is called a Fractional Reserve System, it really doesn't matter where or how the money is spent, as long as the big loan is made, (the entire stimulus is printed and loaned). and the money is spent and deposited in banks, where it can be spent again.

That, right there, where we get the money, is the problem. No economist or advisor, or anyone educated by that matter, will ever say it's a good idea to take out a loan to pay another off. Bad juju. This is because someday, the loans won't be able to keep up with the interest we have to pay back. Get where the problem is?

This is why it's hazardous, this is why we are not longer on the gold standard and why it's foolish to use the dollar to base the value of certain items.

For instance, you could hold in one hand, enough gold coins to purchas a small house back in 1900. The same is true today. Nifty huh? But when you look at gold in terms of dollars, the value seems to rise and fall (mostly rise). This throws off everyone's perspective of value.


ANyways, what we should be doing is petitioning the administration to exercise executive order 11110, which was initiated by JFK. We can keep the federal reserve notes (the fiat dollars we use), but also circulate this silver backed dollar. AND by bypassing the federal reserve you will take at least 2% interest off loans at your local bank, and the money injected into our system would be DEBT FREE. This would help.

Another thing that would be smart is to stop focusing on giving everyone jobs. That is the responsibility of business, not the government.

For instance;

Lets say you want to build a bridge. Normally, you would try to build it, as cost efficient as possible. When the government focuses on giving people jobs, what happens is a bridge gets built, and it leads no where, or the bridge isn't needed. On top of that the government will use as many employees as possible which will be very costly, while usually buying parts from other countries or businesses that outsource. This is no different than welfare. Welfare hurts the middle class (actually all the classes).

We as if you cut backon government spending, and give tax cuts to businesses, you are encouraging growth of industries such as the ones that make materials for the bridge. Nifty huh?

Drivinmenutz,

I believe that it's going to take baby steps. We already took a baby step when Obama got elected. More baby steps will be coming.

Sure. Whatever you say.
