No private sector growth

When the government taxes and regulates too much at the same time they print money out of thin air, disaster ensues. As reported in today's Wall Street Journal, there has been no private sector growth for jobs in the past ten years. The overall number of jobs increased because the government hired more tax feeders. Unbelievable. No new private sector jobs in America for a decade? Ya think it's time to get the government out of the economy?

End the Fed

The inflating central bank of the U.S., the Federal Reserve, has got to go. As you can read in this article by Eric Vorhees, the Fed has destroyed the value of our dollar. Time to read Texas Congressman Ron Paul's book, End the Fed. Thanks to lewrockwell.com for posting Eric's article.

The Recession is Over!

The host of "CNBC Reports" just declared on national TV that "the recession is over." Unlike FOX, the neocon channel, CNBC and MSNBC are both of the liberal persuasion. They never met a bailout or tax they didn't like. I wonder how the host is going to feel years from now when we're still in recession. Maybe he better read The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal by Robert Murphy in order to understand what's going on now.

Still want government to protect you?

As I've said and posted many times before, the government fails at everything they do. They failed to stop loons from flying planes into buildings and the Pentagon on 9/11, and they still can't protect us in federal buildings. As you can see in this article, bomb-making materials were smuggled into federal buildings. When is the public going to get it? The government can't protect us, we must protect ourselves.

Happy Secession Day!

When the people in America seceded from Great Britain in 1776, they exercised a right that is fundamental to liberty. Today, as you have hot dogs, soda, or a cold beer or two, remind your kids, friends, and spouse that the second paragraph of the document we are celebrating says that Texas can secede. The Declaration of Independence states: ". . . whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government . . . "

I'm ready for the Lone Star State again. With well over 20 million people, a nice big port, oil, and lots of farm land, Texas would do well nicely as its own independent republic again. At least we would have one benign neighbor (Mexico).

How Much Proof Do You Need?

Since this blog started I've been touting the evils of Keynesian economics and government-run systems like public education. The People's Republic of Kalifornia, as you can read in this article, has a massive budget shortfall and the schools are going to take a major hit. The state is imploding before our very eyes. Unfortunately, as Bernanke prints money like a fool and Obama stimulates our way to the Third World, all of Amerika will look like this soon. How much proof do you need, comrade?

Change we can believe in?

I seem to recall Obama saying things would be different, the war needed to end, etc. And the Democrats kept echoing the same phrases and added how evil the Republicans were for waging war. Hmmm. But as we can see by this article, there's no difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. The Dems love war too. In fact, only Democratic presidents waged war the last century. Wilson with WWI, FDR with WWII, Truman the Korean War, Kennedy and Johnson the Vietnam War.

Congress has no guts. Instead of funding, they should shut down the empire and let people around the globe decide their own affairs.
