Tea Party Presidential Election Primer: Paul v. Cain on Economics
by Thomas R. Eddlem
The New American
*** begin quote ***
Herman Cain: Cain called TARP a “win-win for the taxpayer” in an October 20, 2008 column. “Unprecedented problems require unprecedented solutions. The actions by the Treasury are a win-win for the taxpayer.” After Congress passed the TARP bailout, Cain complained about how the money was doled out, but not about the principle of crony-capitalism where profits are privatized and losses are socialized.
*** and ***
Herman Cain – a former chairman of the Kansas City branch of the Federal Reserve Bank – was an opponent of a GAO audit of the Fed until 2011, telling Neil Boortz’s radio audience in December 2010 that “There’s no hidden secrets going on in the Federal Reserve to my knowledge. And I tell people, we’ve got 12 Federal Reserve Banks. Find out which district you are in, call them up and go from there. We don’t need to waste money with another commission or an audit.”
*** end quote ***
I think that the USA’s principle problem is the “dollar”.
It allows unchecked spending by the politicians and bureaucrats.
Fiat currencies (i.e., it has intrinsic value because the Gooferment says it does) have all eventually and inexorably collapsed.
Gold has stood the test of time.
The Federal Reserve Bank isn’t “federal”, reserves nothing, and isn’t a bank. It IS a banking cartel. Think OPEC for money. And, like most “monopolies”, it only exists because it enables the Gooferment, politicians, and bureaucrats to spend like drunken sailors. (With apologies to all drunken sailors who are spending their own money and stop when they run out. They don’t borrow more for someone else to pay.)
So Cain is the candidate of the Federal Reserve Bank!
Not very Tea Party Presidental candidate.

Jeff Altman – 8:16 AM – Public
What do you think about “Occupy Wall Street?” Good thing? Bad thing? Patriots? Bums? What do you think?

I think they are just dumb. It’s like talking to any wall, a most teenagers, or some women. Talk, or demonstrate, until you’re blue in the face or green at the gills. It isn’t going to make any difference. The problem is in the District of Corruption where crony capitalism distorts the playing field. The rubes in OWS are distracted by the “shiny baubles”. They have to learn to “strike at the root”. That’s in DC. If they want to change the game, then that’s where they should be. IMHO!

Can We Trust Our Pakistani and Afghan Allies?

In the war of ideologies, there is no more frustrating battle than the battle for truth. In the battle for truth, there is no more frustrating effort than trying to enlighten the hard-headed. Our enemy has been telling us for decades who he is and what his intent is. He has shown us over, and over again that he is committed to defeating us and has used every means at his disposal to that end.
*** end quote ***
No!

Fourth Circuit’s Factual Error Throws Obamacare Decision in Doubt
September 14, 2011
MAUREEN MARTIN
*** begin quote ***
In reality, the Virginia law was signed by Gov. McDonnell and codified on March 10, 2010. The “ceremonial” signing was held on March 24, 2010. So rather than a Virginia law seeking to invalidate an existing federal law, it was the other way around. It was a federal law seeking to invalidate an existing Virginia law.
*** end quote ***
Alive based on a technicality?
You’d think these type of mistakes wouldn’t happen with all the high priced talent working on it.

I am going to be honest with the American people
By Rick Perry
12 September 11
*** begin quote ***
We must have a frank, honest national conversation about fixing Social Security to protect benefits for those at or near retirement while keeping faith with younger generations, who are being asked to pay.
*** end quote ***
Sounds very reasonable to me!
Maybe that tête-à-tête with Ron Paul has transmitted some virtue into the discussion.

Sadly, “We, The Sheeple” have been found lacking.
The WTC should have been rebuilt in a year. I’d prefer the middle finger design.
But, we’ve lost the energy.
I think of my fellow alums and wonder what could have been.
I think if the terrorists had chosen the day before then I’d have been a casualty.
I think we have to, as a country, get our <synonym for excrement> together.
Argh!

*** begin quote ***
The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: to put more people back to work and more money in the pockets of those who are working. It will create more jobs for construction workers, more jobs for teachers, more jobs for veterans, and more jobs for long-term unemployed. (Applause.) It will provide — it will provide a tax break for companies who hire new workers, and it will cut payroll taxes in half for every working American and every small business. (Applause.) It will provide a jolt to an economy that has stalled, and give companies confidence that if they invest and if they hire, there will be customers for their products and services. You should pass this jobs plan right away. (Applause.)
*** and ***
The agreement we passed in July will cut government spending by about $1 trillion over the next 10 years. It also charges this Congress to come up with an additional $1.5 trillion in savings by Christmas. Tonight, I am asking you to increase that amount so that it covers the full cost of the American Jobs Act. And a week from Monday, I’ll be releasing a more ambitious deficit plan — a plan that will not only cover the cost of this jobs bill, but stabilize our debt in the long run.
*** and ***
But know this: The next election is 14 months away. And the people who sent us here — the people who hired us to work for them — they don’t have the luxury of waiting 14 months. (Applause.) Some of them are living week to week, paycheck to paycheck, even day to day. They need help, and they need it now.
I don’t pretend that this plan will solve all our problems. It should not be, nor will it be, the last plan of action we propose. What’s guided us from the start of this crisis hasn’t been the search for a silver bullet. It’s been a commitment to stay at it — to be persistent — to keep trying every new idea that works, and listen to every good proposal, no matter which party comes up with it.
*** end quote ***
Did you think that in the time that the nation waited this should have been a complete proposal?
The 1T$ over 10 years is a phantom cut.
I’d prefer a presentation that said:
“Let’s take 1% from these departments that equates to X dollars; from that let’s spend A dollars on this, B dollars on this, and C dollar on this.”
Imagine what a difference of attitude?
