		<description>Okay, I am the laziest voter in America so I figure you was talking to me.  So I read the plan for the economy and it isn&#039;t going to fix the problem; it doesn&#039;t even list the problem.  In fact, no one ever mentions the problem, not even Ron Paul.  The problem is debasement of currency. To fix that we need to write our own money, stop borrowing our own money from this private sector bank that claims to be a Federal Reserve.  That is just a start. Then we need to pass some actual banking reform in Congress; and what we need to change is fractional banking; fractional banking is criminal and it utilizes every sort of crime to function.  Outlaw any loan that is not backed by 100% reserve; outlaw fractional banking and the paper money will be as good as gold.  finally, we need to outlaw compound interest in bank loans; fuck the tax break for enormous interest payments; outlaw tyhe damn enormous interest payment; only allow simple interest and watch how fast Americans begin to own their own homes again.

We need a president with balls, one with courage to stand up to the bankers. That&#039;s the real problem; that&#039;s what causes the problem Obama lists...

THE PROBLEM

Wages are Stagnant as Prices Rise

While wages remain flat, the costs of basic necessities are increasing. The cost of in-state college tuition has grown 35 percent over the past five years. Health care costs have risen four times faster than wages over the past six years. And the personal savings rate is now the lowest it’s been since the Great Depression.

Tax Cuts for Wealthy Instead of Middle Class

The Bush tax cuts give those who earn over $1 million dollars a tax cut nearly 160 times greater than that received by middle-income Americans. At the same time, this administration has refused to tackle health care, education and housing in a manner that benefits the middle class.




It&#039;s the currency, stupid. Fix the money and you will fix the problems.</description>

		<description>Dear lazy voters,

If you don&#039;t know details about Barack&#039;s plan for change, that&#039;s your own fault.  

The thing about knowledge is: you have to actively seek it.  It&#039;s not just going to fall in your lap.  

Corporate media (abc, nbc, cnn, etc...) isn&#039;t going to cover important details.  They&#039;re going to show the first 10 seconds of his speech and then cut to a story of a local squirell that can waterski. 

Please visit Barack&#039;s website for detailed information about his stance on the issues:

		<description>Keifus, if you go to Obama&#039;s web site you&#039;ll find plenty of policy details. My concern isn&#039;t that he doesn&#039;t have policies, it&#039;s that the ones he has don&#039;t offer much of a break with previous centrist Democrat traditions. 

Regarding his potential effect on the national culture, my take is that an Obama candidacy will undoubtedly bring the very worst instincts of the opposition to the fore, and if he won, those instincts will have been thoroughly aired and discredited. It&#039;s not so much what he would do as president as the simple fact of him having got there despite the ugliness. That&#039;s not enough for me to muster any enthusiasm for him, but it&#039;s something to think about.</description>

		<description>I have a hard time getting traction with Obama as a &quot;salutary effect on the national psyche.&quot;  Like you Weldon, I expect a little more than campaigning as a uniter from a presidential wannabe.  Consider that half the country thinks(thought!) the vehicle for repairing divisions is the right measure of folksy charm.  I&#039;ve got to think that the MLK-inspired oratory is the same sort of schtick, just engineered to a different audience.  It doesn&#039;t inspire me so much as it makes me suspicious.

I suppose that he&#039;s got some plans stashed in there somewhere, and he should certainly employ the kind of charisma that&#039;s natural for him...but I it would sure be nice if it were using it to push something more substantive than unity-n-hope.</description>

		<description>I think you both have a keen eye on the game, but it matters little what comes out of the &quot;politics, politics, politics&quot; ... because it is always the same; empty words.

Does Obama even understand the real power of the presidency?  The single biggest thing the president can do is control the currency; something no one has touched since JFK.  Clinton has already proven that she&#039;s an establishment candidate who will not even dare to do anything that would upset the FED.  Obama, meanwhile, hasn&#039;t said a word about how he intends to implement change; and the only how in his power would be the currency.  Ron Paul is on the record, fighting against the FED; one presumes he would issue United States dollars instead of selling more debt at monthly Treasury auctions. But has he come out and said so?  

Politics is hogwash. The bottom line is money. The president has the over riding largest influence on the nation&#039;s money. Both Bush presidencies plunged this nation into the debt it is in now; financing the budget with Treasury auctions is financial suicide; we keep borrowing our own money from the FED, at interest, instead of printing it for ourselves; and this is happening on our own mints!  

Americans are absolutely and completely ignorant of how the money works.  We elect presidents with zero intentions of saving the nation or serving the people. We&#039;ve been sold out by Congress since the very first Congress convened under George Washington&#039;s first term. The Constitution intended the US Treasury to be a treasury; not a house of debt.  You guys masterbate over the color or gender of the candidate and blissfully ignore all content that is vital to the future of the nation.  The number one thing that a president has power over is the money... why haven&#039;t our presidents ever spoke on the money?  Because they all serve their backers, not the people.</description>
