"We the People" have abandoned America!!
Greetings to the Socialist of America,
"We the People" have put these minds in office. (But not I) Here are some quotes and headlines resulting from the fine public selection of its leaders. "We the People" have turned away from principles and appear to have no discernment to enable us to elect statesmen.
“I’ve abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system,” - President George W. Bush (Betrayer of freedom!)
California State Attorney General Jerry Brown, in a surprise turnabout, asked the California Supreme Court on Friday to overturn Proposition 8. (Seeks to overturn the will of "We the People".)
"My hope is that the Administration and the Congress will still find a way to give the industry the temporary assistance it needs while demanding the long-term restructuring that is absolutely required.” - Pres. Elect Obama
"I’ve got this thing and it’s (expletive) golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for (expletive) nothing. I’m not gonna do it. And, and I can always use it. I can parachute me there." - IL Governor Blagojevich told Adviser A:
Wisconsin's kids shouldn't be allowed to fail just because Washington is failing them. - WI Governor Jim Doyle (Can't blame the local government school system? It's not Washington's responsibility!)
The Wall Street Journal had reported on yet another socialist idea, brainstormed by Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson. The idea so naively populist and antimarket that you would think it came from Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. - Paulson(Socialist) is Bush's(Socialist) Sec. Treasurer Appointee.
“When we went to Congress, illiquid assets looked like the way to go. As the situation worsened, the facts changed." - Paulson declared,. (Oh, so man is not all knowing? Number "one" reason to let the free market exist!)
So, are we all socialists?! It appears so, no, wait I have one more person to quote. He's a True American.....
“Governments that want to take over, undermine our liberties and gain more power always use the fear factor. They did this leading up to the war in Iraq, they do it on foreign policy, now they’re doing it on monetary, economic and financial problems.” - TX Congressman Ron Paul
“They do that all the time, that is their technique, always to build a tremendous fear in the hearts of the people. Terrorize the people and say that ‘we are your saviors and we’re the only ones that can take care of it’.” - TX Congressman Ron Paul
"We the People" have abandoned the American way of life. Most of us have voted for the quotes above. Only a few have recognized Ron Paul as a freedom lover.
So, as we continue to fall away from Godly principles in our personal lives we will then fall more and more into the hands of unjust government, a loss of our liberties and a loss of our inheritance.
The final quote...
Prov 11:1, "Dishonest scales are and abomination to the LORD, But a just weight is His delight." - God's quote on honesty in the market place.
Have a blessed day!

Ron Paul would be a disaster if he were in power right now. He would embrace neo-hoover do-nothing laissez-faire policies to approach the recession and we would pay dearly for it. He would tighten the money supply, cause deflation to rapidly increase, and restrict spending and balance the budget. We did that after 1929 for 3 years under Hoover and it led to 33% unemployment. Neo-hooverism has been proven wrong by economic history. Full keynesianism and monetarism is the way to go - all liberal (krugman, et al.) and conservative (friedman, bernake, greenspan) agree that this is the way to go. Recessions happen when people hoard cash. Deflation sets in, causing a deflationary spiral - people stop spending, more people lose jobs, more people stop spending, and so on. People withdraw from investments because their cash is more valuable by just hoarding it instead of investing it. This is terrible for the market. There is no reason why this must happen. It is much better for the government to take over and ramp up spending (via massive borrowing like the New Deal and WW2) and inflate the currency to get people out of their shells and re-engage the market.

Ron Paul would not be as you claim. It has been the policies of fiat money and excessive public debt which has caused our current recession as well as the great depression, there was and is no hoarding of cash. Stock prices were inflated then as they are(were?) now. The Feds restricted the money supply under Hoover but it was Hoover who wanted to preserve individual and local responsibility. Stabilizing the money supply, debt and interest rates gives confidence to investors.
FDR's New Deal was not the great depression buster but rather the free market and individualism buster, i.e let the government help you. With 30 billion dollars lost by investors in October of1929 it no doubt would take a while to recover. FDR's policies made it a longer recovery with 15% unemployment not getting better until WWII. The market bounced back despite FDR's policies. It would have recovered faster under different policies. FDR used terror then to promote big government and even sought to stack the Supreme Court to do it. Indeed he was an example of a manipulator. And with his wife being and instrument on his behalf of liberalism it is a sad affair to have today Hillary desiring to repeat history. Woe unto us.
Hardly was Hoover the cause of the depression. Its possible that Hoover's actions such as minimal business intrusion and reduction of taxes may have slowed the depression's decline which in 1932 had reached its lowest by the time FDR came into power.
The men you named as conservatives is a joke right? They have revealed their true hearts by giving up on free market principles. Yet your Sugar Keynes ideas are not good for any man, they are destructive, unless you're a "buddy" of the czar handing out the bailouts. Even Keynes (who I understand had a few "close buddies") stated truth....
"By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose. - John Maynard Keynes
We The People deserve better, keep the hands of the elitests off of determining who survives from a crash. Let the free market save itself. Let the losses fall upon those who lost it, not "We the People". You're inflation devalues and steals the wealth of many.
The purpose of the Constitutional government was to create the "conditions" for the people to "pursue" happiness, not provide that happiness. THAT is the wickedness of the FDR regime till now. It is much worse and sodomite Keyne's ideas have been forced upon us even though proven not to work....for the people.
Go here and see some understanding of the great depression.
