What Do We Do Now After April 15th?

Thanks to grass roots, Republicans, Fox, Rush, Democrats, Boortz, Libertarians and the thousands of local organizers the Tea Party Revolt was a huge success. The fascist in Washington downplayed the protest. So be it. Like in any contest there is not enough time to worry about the other side. Let the intelligence operations in the Republican Party worry about the fascist in Washington. Real change will have to come from outside Washington and that is where the protest is centered.

The first thing people need to realize is what are we for? Limited government. Pretty simple concept. Fine. Keep it that way. Realize that ALL federal programs with the exception of the military and federal judicial responsibility are nothing more that political power grabs. Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, State Health Insurance Program and any program that pays individually money. Power grabs. Simple.

Proof? Look at the power Social Security has over old folks. They go crazy any time reform is proposed. And Social Security is nothing more than a Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. Social Security like most federal programs is poorly designed and a huge waste of resources. Similar to having a water pipe broken continually flooding the back yard and never bothering to fix it. It gets worse with time.

John McCain was right about one thing. Social Security is an easy fix. Dissolve the program. Pay contributors their money back with interest, pay retires their retirement benefits till they die and move on.

And just like Social Security is an easy fix so is the rest of our federal programs. US Department of Housing and Urban Development? Dissolve it and sell the assets. US Department of Health, Education and Welfare? Dissolve it and sell the assets. Nothing more than special interest programs that do almost nothing positive.

There is nothing wrong with any of these programs – at the state or local level. And that’s what needs to be the top priority of the people and the next third party that challenges the fascist currently in Washington. No social engineering programs at the federal level period.

A lot of protesters had flat tax signs. Very encouraging. Another way to get the federal government out of our lives. Thanks Boortz and Linder for promoting the idea whose time may come.

Another encouraging development was the awareness of the protesters to the destructive power the Federal Reserve has over our economy. Bravo! I give business television contributor Peter Schiff and others for bringing this to the publics attention. The Federal Reserve should be tasked with increasing the money supply 3% to 5% a year period. No federal funds rate. No discount window. No liquidation insolvent banks. Nothing but increasing money stock 3% to 5% a year. Alan Greenspan had the fed funds rate at 1% in the middle of the sub prime mortgage melt down. It should have been at 9% to make the insane loans more expensive. If the free market was allowed to work risky loans would have been at 9% or higher and millions of them not made. Time for the Federal Reserve to get out of the interest rate business forever.
