We have never left Keynsian economics. Bush created the low unemployment rate by increasing government spending, via the military. THe rule for Keynsian economics is to create jobs , by taking a temporary debt to use for govenrment programs. THe problem is that this is not a TEMPORARY debt, when we never gotten out of debt. The problem is the politicians believe they have to do something, no matter if the thing they plan to do would be disasterous. I have told people for a long time what is wrong wiht the economic theory of the Democrats. They believe in taking the money from the middle class and giving it to the poor. SInce the poor spends a higher percent of their income, our GNP would increase. The problem is that the poor may be a little better off, but it would make it harder from being anything else, but poor. It would destroy the middle class though. That the plan from teh democrats might make a better national economy, but a lot worse of for the average individual economy. I found out there was a paradox thought up during the depression that describe this. I don't remember it's name, but it says that if one person saves, it's good for the individual, but if everyone saves, it's temporarily bad for the nation. The key word is temporarily. That's why the government always created situations that would incourage irresponsible behavior. THe worse of all is to lower the interest rate. If we had decent interest rates, more people would save and we wouldn't have this rollercoaster of an economy. People don't understand how the stock market works, and I have warn people of this. Most logical people know there will be a crash coming soon. THe stock market boom is not from anything organic, but rather from all the retirement plans. When the baby boomer retire, they would start moving their money else where. When that happens, the stocks would drop. The government is doing everything to prevent it. Worse is to tell people not to save and put all your money in stocks to stay ahead of inflation. YOu have alsways said the government is stealing from us, by purposefully devaluing our dollar. They government is purposefully creating situations where we chase the next investment boom, to enrich the few.

I know the creation of "another excuse to pay for no value-added won't fix anything. Yet I'm concerned about whether they've dug us too deep a whole to even get out of. The only solution I can imagine that wouldn't set the world into chaos is if we all declared a collective judgment against the Federal Reserve and the Bicameral Congress for defrauding the nation into paying an unnecessary tax (through inflation), for delegating to a private entity, the power to regulate a national currency and WORST of all, for then charging us interest on money "borrowed which the Congress had the duty to create free of interest. As a Court of the Unified Citizenry of the United States, every penny of interest the Fed ever charged should and must be thrown out as unenforceable and all such debts erased. It'd also be nice if the criminals could be forced to pay back what they've stolen already and then pay a penalty on top of that. ... ... It’s scary at this stage of the game.

The banking industry and such are now being given cash and buying out others, so I wold think that there will be the same thing going on. Yo expect corruption at the lower level and even state level, but in the old days there were people watching the ones in Washington to make sure they played right, but no more. just like the big check floating deal for millions where they wrote bad checks. Now they do what they want to do and no on is responsible. What next. Funny tha Paul and a few warned them, but no one did anything as that would have stopped the move to consolidating everything. It's coming. You do expect at the bottom of the chain, but not at the top and that is what is going on, who will form a posse and stepup to the plate? Have a great 2009. I'm afraid the way the news reported PE Obama wanting the other $350 billion bailout cash so quick and "got to have it", that the same people are in control. hope I am wrong. Yes, yes and yes, why not just put the money in the IRS and be done with it.
