Economic Stimulus or Stymied Freedom?
President Obama is about to sign us all into a debt so huge, we may never again remember days of fiscal responsibility. I’m not saying that the government has been fiscally responsible as of late, just that now, the budget is so deep in the red that it will take huge amounts of taxes to ever come back. And, this bill has so much in the way of handouts that it will perpetuate the entitlement mentality that has essentially ruined our economy. We, the people of the US need to stop looking around for other people to blame such as government entities and start looking at our past indulgence. We spend, spend, spend so freely, without restraint and finally, the rampant consumerism topples and we find ourselves in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. So what medicine does the government dish out? Let’s get everybody back into their old spending habits by giving them more assistance. A bandaid for a huge gaping wound. Sure, the stimulus will have some positive effect but it is short-term and simply provides a way for the US population to be even more dependent on the government. I see it more as our freedom being stymied as the soft chains of socialism are wrapped all the more tightly around us.

It is incredible just how uneducated the majority is about how our economy works. You want to get upset about Obama adding to the debt? Debt is money, and money is debt. The Federal reserve bank that prints our money is a privately owned bank that answers to no one. They control inflation by reducing the money in circulation. Every president who has stood up to the Fed and any international bank like it, has been assassinated. Except for Regan, he withdrew his public scrutiny of the Fed after a bullet came close to killing him. Fractional reserve banking has been the root of every war this country has ever been involved in, regardless of the guise of principals of freedom or civil rights spin.This, as well as the collapse of our economy, is how huge debts are created so the people with real skills and value must support the wealthy minority.
We are on the verge of having our borders erased and our currency reduced to the “Amero” thanks to Bush. His grandfather was Prescott Bush, president of the Bank of New York which was charged with high treason for funding Hitler’s rise to power and providing resources to the Nazi’s during the war. Is it any surprise that history class has the poorest high school scores? So if you think that any president has any real ability to solve our problems, then you are engaged in watching nothing more than a puppet show and can’t discern between what is truth, and what is deception. You are not free, you never were.

I had a family member that worked as a senior member of the IMF. (International Monetary Fund). They only accept payment from member countries in GOLD. They do not accept payment in local currencies. They only exchange gold for local currencies in order to fend off a local banking crisis. You can google this. The big banking boys know what real wealth preservation is. They setup their own safeguards to include a gold reserve, not a paper reserve. China, India and the US are huge gold holders. They don’t liquidate Fort Knox to pay federal debt, they just whip up a new batch of paper.

This is just going to be cover for a large tax increase. They will come out with something like the TEFRA Act of 1982 that promised $3 of spending cuts for each $1 in tax increases. The only problem is that we will get the tax increase but never the spending cuts. That is what the Democrats did in 1982.
