if anyone wants to make it out of this mess, attempt the following:

pay off all debt
exit the dollar, invest in foreign currencies/stocks
buy gold and silver
store food, water, energy

hunker down

we need to return to our constitution.
we need to cut our overseas expenditures (before we collapse because of them) drastically and make whole again some of the entitlement systems we have conditioned folks to become dependent upon. those programs are largely bankcrupt already. the largest ponzi scheme we have is the social security system. lets at least make it right for those who have paid into it. from there, we should have "opt out" legislation.

centralized banking, especially a NON government entity (the fed) that operates on fiat currency is really fascism.

Interesting fact: if we cut federal spending to 2000 levels (all departments) and eliminate the federal income tax we would be shortly on our way to a surplus. income tax only represents a third + of our tax revenue.

get rid of the fed. the dollar is worth 4 cents since its inception when calculating for inflation (money supply issues).

the past administrations and current proposals of "stimulus" is a ridiculous concept. the government can't create anything, including wealth. it can only take for somewhere else and put it in another place. and i am not speaking about the philosophical demise of "spreading the wealth". I'm speaking about our currency.

who will lend us the money for these proposals? china? recent articles suggest they are tired of our debt mechanized "securities". the rest of the world is following their actions.

so our "only" other option, in current political meandering is to print more money. the Federal Reserve is running this country now. It wasn't the money, the amount of money, or what the money was to be spent on that was the concern of the Fed in the bailout "debate". It was the fine print: the further authority given to them in the Bill.

we need to do the referenced above. in addition, we need to phase out the federal reserve simply...by re-legalizing competing currencies. this would allow a healthy transition, instead of a catastrophic event (although that is coming on this course we're taking).

So it is not a 'real tax' cut unless the rich get 98% of the tax cut..of course...How about we take the cap off of the Social Security tax? Like the rich have done anything for the rest of us in the last 30 years...Oh yes they gave us Walmart and took away our jobs and then don't know why we shouldn't fork over our first born children to wage slavery....

I was opposed to any bailouts, even home owners. I'm fed up with paying for everyone else's life through my taxes.
