The failure of the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, better known as the Super Committee, to reach agreement on $1.2 trillion in spending cuts is a serious disappointment. An opportunity to eliminate some of our huge debt was wasted – and with it, the chance to spur economic growth and create much-needed jobs. As an outsider sent to Washington to bring a new perspective, I am frustrated that politics as usual has gotten in the way again. While the Republican-led House secured the largest reduction in discretionary spending in history, the inability of the ‘Super Committee’ to come to an agreement to further reduce the deficit illustrates once again that Washington is broken and lacks the internal discipline to make the necessary but difficult choices to pay down our $15 Trillion national debt. Continue reading An Opportunity Missed It has been 932 days since the Democrats have passed a budget. With the formation of the Super Committee, the Tea Party saw an opportunity for Americans to tell Congress what they would be willing to cut, and offer suggestions to make the budgeting process easier for them. CSPAN was even to cover the event. The Senate Rules Committee, headed up by Chuck Schumer, told the Tea Party gathering they were uncomfortable with the word “hearing”, and locked the doors and took away the microphones minutes before the event was scheduled to start. Here’s a rest of the story… The event quickly found a new location at Hillsdale College’s Kirby Center, where the hearing took place not too far behind schedule.
Now, yes things are volatile and the front runners can change almost daily. It wasn’t long ago that Michelle Bachmann was the front runner in the straw polls but only received a little over 1% of the votes in Florida. Are the tides turning? Can one man really bring hope and change and not fluff and stuff? I think Herman Cain has some great ideas. His 9-9-9 plan is very intriguing and should be seriously considered. However, one thing that has not been mentioned or even asked of Cain is this: Will the national sales tax, personal tax and corporate tax rates be set in stone – unchangeable by politicians in the future and how will he insure that it can never be changed? And shouldn’t food and clothing – the necessities of living be exempted from the 9% national sales tax? Continue reading Cain Gaining Momentum and Presenting Real Hope and Change Our economy is an interesting beast, and with the DOW jumping up and down like a Mexican Jumping Bean (now don’t take that in any other way other than the actual physical bean with worms in them) it seems like everything is changing. However, everything changed a long time ago. Many people don’t realize that the Federal Reserve Bank has nothing to do with the Federal Government of the United States of America. What!?!?!?? It is a private bank making money off of you – the citizen of these great United States of America. Many people also don’t know that there were several attempts at a Federal Reserve type bank back during the founding fathers time, and that several of our founding fathers fought against and lobbied against such a beast during the drafting of our national foundation (read Thomas Jefferson). However, if everyone in the United States knew the reality of the system we currently work under and how it is actually illegal – there would be severe backlash from the people against the Federal Reserve and those in our government whom continue to support this corrupt system. We’ve posted a video by www.theamericandream.com website. This is a MUST VIEW video to get more educated about how this system works. They have done a great job with it and we encourage you to share this video with other people. It has a little bit of a South Park feel to it with many movie references that makes it that much more enjoyable, but is the best video to date I have seen explaining how you as a citizen is being screwed by the Federal Reserve. Kudos to www.theamericandreamfilm.com.
Visit www.mygovcost.org to see how much you will end up paying for your government. Makes you really wonder why we need such a HUGE government. CENTRAL Bank chief Gideon Gono had some curiously frank advice for US Treasury secretary Tim Geithner on printing money at a Zimbabwe Independent dialogue function in Harare this week. The US is hoping to raise the federal debt limit by the beginning of August this year to avoid another economic crisis. Gono’s advice was not without basis. The Reserve Bank governor has done it and seen it all. Until 2009 he had an unenviable appetite for printing money and stoking inflation. By the time government adopted multiple currencies, the legendary Weimar Republic’s runaway inflation was a non-event by comparison as a single Zimbabwe bearer’s bill was as high as Z$10 trillion.

The debt ceiling “crisis”
Medina County Friends And Neighbors (7/24/2011)
When you open it look at table 9, page 34 under (Receipts, Total). It shows that the amount of money that came into the federal government during the month (people are still working and paying taxes) was approximately $250 Billion. It also shows that the amount of interest to be paid on our national debt was approximately 24 billion ( table 9, page 34 under (Net Outlays, Net Intrest)). That is all that has to be paid to prevent the federal government from going into default. No need to shut down the government.
