Well, we ought to start creating political awareness of this fact now, if it is not already too late. We need to establish "STOP DEFICIT SPENDING" as our first political objective of fiscal conservatives, be they Tea Partiers, birthers, Palinites, Huckabees, Rommenys, Hanneys, whomever. We will not vote for any incumbent who has voted for TARP, which empowered the Federal Reserve to increase the deficit without Congressional approval...I think. Nor will we vote for any incumbert who has failed to support the Federal Reserve audit bill.

STOP DEFICIT SPENDING

There is always a vested interest... which is good and bad.

They need to go public on the side deals and let America know.

Fascism is the correct practice in describing what is transpiring under our noses!!

True.

Immelt (of GE) was quoted recently as saying that American manufacturing jobs should go up to 20% of total workforce - manufacturing currently is about 10% of total workforce. I tend to agree as there will be no real recovery without non-service industry jobs, but at the same time, can't help but wonder if he was speaking sincerely.

The problem is trust - the American people no longer trust their government (and rightfully so I might add). The current administration is bungling the job.

Trust, that is the problem at every stage of this gov’t. It starts with the manchurian. Then lie after lie. The marxist come in under a democrats banner with his own hidden agenda. People discover his marxism, specifically business, and everyone gets skittish. He can create all the stimulus packages he wants and all his marxist undertones will get is failure. What is needed? Pro business gov’t. Less govt involvement. Elsewise the goose that laid the golden egg will be killed. Tax breaks, not increased taxes to “those who have more”.

Where he is taking this nation is to 1915 Russia with him being the new czar.
