					<description><![CDATA[Changing the capital every 6 months would also make it very difficult for lobbyists and political long time denizens to accrue power. Much of DC&#039;s power comes from the nepotism and patronage system they have going there, where to get a job requires connections, not merit. Also why they tend to machine gun shoot cars full of pregnant women.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The only way to end lobbying is to take the money out of Washington. Tax money should go directly to states for the states to use as they see fit - this goes for education $, transportation $, etc.  Once that happens, the lobbying becomes a state-level thing, which is much easier to control by the voter, since it is closer to home.

I also think we MUST push for term limits in Congress. It literally made me sick this morning to listen to Boehner talk fondly about his zillion years in Congress. That is NOT how someone&#039;s career should be...20 years+ in government. These guys get in there, buy a place in Washington D.C. and hardly have any idea about the issues that matter to their constituents. 

Hoping for a lot of REAL change after the 2016 election. We&#039;ll see.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[IMO, Roger Bootle, a British economist has put his finger on what our problem is:

&quot;The whole of economic life is a mixture of creative and distributive activities. Some of what we ‘‘earn’’ derives from what is created out of nothing and adds to the total available for all to enjoy. But some of it merely takes what would otherwise be available to others and therefore comes at their expense.

Successful societies maximize the creative and minimize the distributive. Societies where everyone can achieve gains only at the expense of others are by definition impoverished. They are also usually intensely violent….

Much of what goes on in financial markets belongs at the distributive end. The gains to one party reflect the losses to another, and the fees and charges racked up are paid by Joe Public, since even if he is not directly involved in the deals, he is indirectly through costs and charges for goods and services.&quot;

He calls this the &quot;financialization of the economy.&quot;
We used to much more creative - agriculture, mining, oil and gas drilling, logging, fishing, manufacturing, and construction, all wealth building activities, are being suppressed by government regulation and taxation.  The distributive side of our economy - big government, banking, insurance, stock/commodity markets,  real estate brokerage, shipping, transportation, retail, etc. - has become much larger than the creative side. When we are trading products/money around and not creating enough, our wealth begins to shrink. and job creation suffers. These are the problems that  can only be solved by government refusing to put barriers in the way of wealth creative activities.  Since the 1960s the environmentalists and other anti-business idiots/Marxists have forced the  government to erect those barriers.  In the meantime the wealth redistribution activities of the government have become so deeply entrenched in the popular psyche that  it is hard to change. Change is possible but will require hard work and dedication by people who understand what the problem is and how to solve it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In Civil War 1, the US (Republican, not Democrat as many blacks seem to believe now a days) President Lincoln gave pardons to the Southern Democrats, military and plantation owning draft dodgers included.

Then they killed Lincoln for being a &quot;tyrant&quot;, so to speak.

If Demoncrats start up another traitorous war to enslave humanity in Civil War II, and they happen to end up defeated... who is going to be evil or stupid enough to pardon them... again? Remember the last person that pardoned Democrats and what happened to him.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Congress is a crack-house, with spending addicts flopped every which way.

&lt;b&gt;You must believe that a spending addict -- and his co-dependent -- honestly feel that a larger largess is not just optimal -- it&#039;s obligatory.&lt;/b&gt;

As for the general public -- even the pundits -- there is a general ignorance that in a fiat money system -- such as ours -- 

Congressional Spending = Taxation.

The idea that we are saddling the next generation with our debt has to be entirely dropped.

We are saddling it upon ourselves -- right in the here and now.

&lt;b&gt;&quot;Borrowed funds&quot; ARE a tax mechanism. It&#039;s a tax upon the capital markets, not income, not gross receipts, not an excise.&lt;/b&gt;

This tax is befouling the private economy -- and is almost solely responsible for the ramping unemployment rate.

For it terminates new enterprise formation -- the mechanism that generates new employment. 

( The Fortune 500 ALWAYS shed jobs. Capital investment is used to replace human talent. )]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Kicking the can down the road works fine until you run out of road.  Then things will get interesting in a hurry.

Our entire political class is unserious.  Almost anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows that you cannot live beyond your means forever, and that if you try to, sooner or later you will come to grief.

Our Political Betters are importing Mexican drug gangs and Muslim terrorists as fast as they can, while simultaneously advocating the disarmament of white Americans.
