From the article.
- Government is an instrument of FORCE.
- Government does NOT have the power to create new jobs. It can only “create” a job by first destroying one (or more) jobs from the private sector.
- Government gains resources (again, by force) from the private economy. It does not have its own resources.
- Government manages (mismanages?) the nation’s currency. It can print it at will.
- Government may be able to stimulate spending but it typically HARMS production.
Look how many jobs the government has now~!!!! I have noticed more than a few times on the news, about how many jobs the govenment is offering now, and what the pay is. How to use their website and apply for government jobs. Even six figure salaries. purps -

I took microeconomics last semester and this semester I am taking the other half..macroeconomics... timely indeed.
Quite honestly, knowledge scares the hell out of me. But better to know than to be in the dark any longer (gee, I wonder where I have heard that from before....hmmmm...can you say Jdubs?....in the dark?).
Yeah, I don't like being in the dark. How many people in the general population do you think are actually going beyond what the Great Messiah Obama is spouting. And yes, I voted for Obabma...lesser of two evils...politicians by nature are wicked...either when they start or after they get in they have to play the game (hmmmm...can you say...elders...play or get the boot?) Even the talking heads on CNN are not truly telling people what they need to hear. CNN, FoxSnooze, and all the rest just tell people enough so they won't dig any further..... Who really takes the time to dig into the basics of economics? 1 in 1000?, 10,000? I didn't before taking those classes.
Funny that article Warlock posted talks about Keynesian economics... same guy I wrote about earlier today.... hippos on the titanic? Yep...it is going to sink anyway, lets just make it happen faster.

Warlock,
the article was well written and informative.
However, I must question the advice about "writing your senator, congressman, or the withe house".
I have heard it said that the disgruntled who write the politicians end up with their names on a list as being "government opposers". And thus, become a part of the gov. "Watch list".
Also, I think it is way past the point of the little people having any input at all. I think many the politicians who are in have no say either because they are p*wned. There is a shadow government at work here.
There were many many Bush opposers. At his inaguration he could not even take the customary walk up to the WH because of all the crowds of opposers. Yet the media always played it down and though millions called for his impeachment, the voices were silenced and drowned.
There is no power of the people anymore. At this time, people are being guided toward a "revolt" but this manipulation is coming from the undercurrent of the fascist regime who will gently replace this failed democracy.
This fascict regime is none other than Jehovah's armies and his other organizations. These Sons of God will come bringing "enlightenment" to expose of the ills of democracy. But what they have in mind will be totalitarism. You think WT is bad. Just wait till this group get in power!!
