Indeed. This initiative was long in coming but it reveals the totally depraved nature of goobermint today.

My solution is to turn the tables--buy as little as possible, and when possible buy locally for cash or barter. They can ignore the tea-parties, but if we all practiced austerity for awhile, it would send a message they cannot ignore.

Bartering is a good thing. I exchange marketing services for customers who have what I want. No money changes hands.
