Support the Congressmen trying to exert pressure on the Federal Reserve

If you care about the direction of this country and are "fed up" (pun intended) with what is happening with the US Dollar, inflation and corruption then support the following Congressmen in their fight against the Fed.  As you may know, Ron Paul's audit the bill fed has ran into a massive roadblock, by the name of Mel Watt (North Carolina 12th) who is PURPOSELY trying to protect the federal reserve for audit in order to support his biggest donors.  This guy is epitome of everything wrong with Congress and special interests.

As a reminder, Mr. Watt's biggest donors are: Bank of America ,Wachovia Corp, American Express, American Bankers Assn.  Do you suppose Mr. Watts is representing the American people or the banksters who without the Fed would not even exist anymore.  

Ron Paul's bill, HR 1207, currently has a 99% approval rating from opencongress.org and a whopping 310 co-sponsors.  This should not be in committee at all, but instead should go to the House floor to be voted on.  A bill with such popular support to be held up by corrupt thieves like Mel Watts is a travesty. 

A letter written to Barney Frank (who is also the recipient of massive bank contributions) is looking to examine the entire structure of the Federal Reserve and a full public audit.   This letter is signed by the following people and they need your support.  Raise awareness.

Elijah Cummings 
Lloyd Dogget
Maurice Hinchney
Tim Walz
Alan Grayson (yeah, the crazy one)
John Tierney
Peter Welch

This could just be a show trial, but the language in the letter indicates that they are interested in a full congressional oversight and that is a great start.

If you want to send an email, please head over the members page of the House Financial Services Committee and email your representative urging them to pass a comprehensive Fed Audit bill.

The 2009 credit boom is coming to an end.

The credit expansion boom of 2009 will eventually go down as yet another period of credit expansion promoted by the Fed that will have lead to another predictable bust.   Today, it will be interesting to examine how the various levels of production are behaving under years and years of artificial interest rate suppression.  It will also be helpful to look at charts and graphs examining the business cycle theory and the impact of time preference as taught by Mises. For starters, those new to the concept - a very brief paraphrasing of the general idea. Under a healthy functioning market people's consumer patterns impact their savings.  More consumption equals less saving and less consumption more saving.  In order to progress the society must save such that it can make investments in machinery, equipment, technology, etc if it hopes to increase the capacity of production.   Sure ,you can harvest 10 coconuts a day, consume them by night and repeat the process...

What is wrong with this country?

I was browsing the latest IBD poll and it finally struck me. I had this idea brewing for the past few weeks now and this particular poll hit a nerve. What jumped out was the age group and who they are likely voting for. Obama / McCain 18-24: 74% 21% The rest of the age groups are more or less even with ages 65+ leaning more for McCain. Those folks should probably avoid leaning - hazardous to their health. Now, if you are a member of this group and are part of the 74% you are probably feeling good about yourself. If you are in the 21% then you are probably used to feeling desperate and angry that your peers ostracize you as if you were the next coming of the bubonic plague. But this number is very telling. Showing to us that a large group of freshly minted liberals, on average still in college, is in a very good position to influence these elections. Enthralled by the concept of "what they want the world to be" and their utopian ideals they hammer their message to anyone willi...
