From a historical standpoint, I was mildly suprised to see someone advocating "mega" tariffs (heading into an economic downturn) on that Social Security thread I posted.

Some people will never learn.

In view of the current government bail out of the financial industry how can Obama pretend that he can promise change on the taxpayers time.

Obama healthcare plan = Radical, Reckless and irresponsible waste of tax dollars.

obama Social programs = Radical, Reckless and irresponsible wast of tax dollars.

Obama Education programs = Radical Reckless and irresponsbile waste of tax dollars.

McCain should call for a spending freeze.

Obama will destroy the military in order to carry out his socialist agenda that is why ASSOCIATIONS matter.

A major reason for the Constitutional Convention in 1787 was Shay’s Rebellion. The rebellion occurred when farmers in Massachusetts became enraged over imprisonment by many would could not pay high taxes due to Revolutionary War debt.

The rebellion was put down, but the Framers recognized the need to resolve the debt. The government lacked this power under the Articles of Confederation, so they granted it in the Constitution and the federal government assumed the debts of the individual states.

`I nationalize strategic companies and get criticized, but when Bush does it, it's OK,'' Chavez said on weekly television program Sept. 21. ``Bush is turning socialist. How are you, comrade Bush?''

There's a glaring omission in this article, since it fails to mention perhaps the most salient happening, namely that the Federal Reserved system FAILED to intervene properly during the Great Depression of the 1930's. Moreover, they allowed a massive contraction of the money suppy -- which is the reason we had a "Great" depression in the USA, while most other advanced economies had merely a "depression."

The story of this disastrous monetary contraction is told in excruiating detail by Milton Friedman in his landmark Monetary Histoy of the United States, a work that is widely acknowledged as Friedman's greatest.
