  posted in Big Gov & Columns & Money & Spending

  In June of 2012, Nancy Pelosi proclaimed that the 14th Amendment makes the federal Debt Limit unconstitutional.

  Sometime in the next 30 to 60 days the federal government will reach the legal limit on its ability to borrow, setting up the next potential budget crisis in Washington. The debt is currently $16.4 trillion, technically in excess of the statutory limit, and the Treasury Department has been using “extraordinary measures,” such as delaying [...]

• We Need a Better Debt Debate - 10 Oct 2012
  posted in Big Gov & Civil Liberties & Columns & Debt & Economy & Property

  If there was a bigger loser than President Obama on that Denver debate stage last week, it was the conversation about our national debt and the fiscal crisis threatening this country.

  posted in Civil Liberties & Columns & Politics & Govt & Principles & Property

  The globalists have confused us into believing that fiat money is the cause of our depression. Debt-money is the real problem, and true fiat money, if we can get it, will bring heaven on earth. Many believe that fiat currency is the cause of our problems, and gold is the solution. I contend that  the [...]

  When noted Academicians write to the President and tell him to stop spending, you know they are serious. In February 2012, Stanford University economist John Taylor was one of 150 economists who signed a letter to President Barack Obama urging spending cuts.

  Who is the biggest loser in the ongoing decline of the U.S. economy?  Is it the wealthy?  No, the stock market has been soaring lately and their incomes are actually going up.  Is it the poor?  Well, the poor are definitely hurting very badly, but when you don’t have much to begin with you don’t [...]

• One Nation Under Debt With Endless Debt Slavery For All - 25 Apr 2012
  posted in 2012 & Civil Liberties & Corruption & Economy & Money & Numbers & Politics & Govt & Spending & Voices & waste

  Debt is a “soft” form of slavery.  In America today, it is not legal to bind people up with chains and force them to work for you, but that doesn’t mean that there are not millions upon millions of slaves in this country.  When you borrow money, you willingly become a servant to the lender.  [...]

  posted in Civil Liberties & Columns & Executive & Judicial & Legislative & Principles & States & The Constitution

  In revisiting the words of our twenty-second and twenty-fourth president Grover Cleveland, I am reminded of the virtues of individualism.

In 1887, President [...]
