Economy, spending, and debt
Since I made a negative post earlier this morning, I thought I’d balance it with something positive. (And I can’t overstate how positive this is.) The Statists in Washington thought they could ram one more reckless deficit-ballooning, liberty-stealing bill through in the lame duck session while we weren’t paying attention after the election and right [...]
Victor Davis Hanson, the conservative professor-farmer-writer, recently traveled around the agricultural area of California where he lives and wrote a powerful essay about what he saw and experienced. His descriptions remind me of a scene in one of the "Back to the Future" movies where America's cities have degenerated into vast slums. He concluded that [...]
The Dems in Congress just don't get it. They aren't listening to the American people, who sent a resounding message Nov. 2 that they don't desire any more spending and they desire massive cuts in spending.

Did you see the Big Three on CNBC last week? Al, Tom and Dave? Like the Tea Party, they spoke the hard truths: get used to the New Normal (unemployment at 8-10%), and America following the road to its date with a Roman Holiday. Greenspan noted that Fed borrowing is crowding out private investment and [...]

One of the principal values that still undergirds the value of the U.S. Dollar is the fact that the major Middle East nations still sell oil priced in Dollars. You might not know that Russia [...]
Why is the left leading the charge on this as far as the MSM is concerned? Why am I having to post a TV interview featuring Matt Taibbi in an interview on MSNBC? AFAIK, everything Taibbi is saying in this vid is correct. The banks are positively stuffed full of assets that are in fact [...]

The Virginia Tea Party Patriots Federation has issued a strong condemnation against recent Federal Reserve policy regarding "Quantitative Easing". Read the letter that was sent to VA legislators below: www.virginiateapartypatriots.com Dear Virginia Congressional Delegation: The Federal Reserve, Treasury and White House believe that debasing our sovereign currency by creating inflation is just another policy tool.

Blythe Masters....call your office. It's very important to understand the natural and ever-present friction (war?) between real money and monopoly money, and how that friction impacts your life and your ability to earn a living, support yourself and your family, and, in so doing, find an expression for your liberty. If the economy in which [...]
Yesterday's victory was tremendous, and one we should savor. The hard work is still ahead of us, of course. But I think all of the supporters of the Richmond Tea Party and supporters of Tea Party / Patriot / 9/12 groups across Virginia truly earned the following comments taken from this morning's Richmond Times-Dispatch editorial: [...]
