The Fed and IRS need to go. The IRS should be replaced by a flat consumption tax. The more you spend, the more you pay. The purpose now is social engineering and behavior control. It is evil. Just look at that blowhard Kerry and his yacht. This guy ought to have his as kicked. He is a fucking weazel.
The Federal Reserve system has gotten us into the mess we are in today. Tinkering with interest rates and printing money hand over fist has almost bankrupted the country. If the truth were known about how weak the economy really is there would be a run on the banks. Alan Greenspan was a shill for the country club crowd as I am sure Bernanke is and just as I am sure all his predecessors.
I happen to agree with his foreign policy. Do you realize how many billions of dollars are wasted on defense spending? How many bases we have in foreign countries where they don't want us? Let Israel take care of the middle east. Why cant we concentrate on border control and intelligence to keep another 9-11 happening? It's ridiculous for us to have a base in Europe.
Why can't we go back on the gold standard? Why is that crazy? It is something that has value.... paper money does not. What is wrong with the government only spending what it has? Why do we need a currency that can be manipulated by politics?
These are not unrealistic ideas. They are ideas that make sense. If you think there will be pain in making these changes now, just wait until we run the course we are on now. The boomers are starting to retire. And when they find out that there retirement money is gone, Medicare is gone, there are going to be grey haired white people taking to the streets. The watts riots will look like Sunday school.
