There is a strong push to promote questions on Marijuana and Hemp policy. Let's not forget Monetary and Foreign policy!

Here is what I wrote concerning the economy.


Bailouts after bailouts, stimulus packages, one after another, virtually no interest rates, and that's not even the end of it. When will we see the end of the unconstitutional and down right pathetic attempts to try and "fix" the economy? Desperate efforts have been made to stop the crash of our dollar yet it has went down 10% in two weeks and there is likely to drop another 10% in the next two weeks. While the dollar is declining, foreign currencies are up and the price of gold has went up an astonishing 20% in 2 weeks. People still wonder why our dollar is doing so poorly compared to hard commodities and foreign currencies. The blame can be put on several different causes but the number one culprit behind it is the same group that we look to correct the problem, the Federal Reserve. If staying out of a recession was as simple as printing our way out of it, we'd never face such problems! Many blame free market capitalism for the decline of the dollar but it has been our socialistic tendencies that got us here and we continue down our socialistic patterns even today. Our own President, George Bush, has admitted "we have given up free market principles to save the free market", which leads us to the auto industry crisis. Rescuing the auto industry faces many problems from an economic standpoint and that isn't mentioning the legality and constitutional authority of using taxpayers money to "bailout" private corporations. You have to ask yourself, why are they facing the point of bankruptcy in the first place? It is because they're incompetent at manufacturing vehicles and make poor business decisions. If you let them go into bankruptcy a more competent and more efficient company can come in, buy their assets, take over and run a more competitive, successful business. Giving them money just so they can stay in business is simply propping up a bad company that's bankruptcy is inevitable. Just remember, we bailed out Chrysler in the 70's and they are right back in the same position now, which verifies my statement. Sure if we didn't have the bailouts there would have been some pain and agony but that is necessary, what we are doing today is prolonging our recession and ultimately destroying the dollar. Stop the bailouts.

I'd bet a dollar against a doughnut hole that they won't answer any questions put forth by anybody that doesn't swallow his kool-aid. Let's see him answer ANY of the questions put forth by Dr. Orly Taitz.

If you join up and vote, you can help make them at least face these questions, in one way or another. I can't promise they'll be answered :rolleyes:

There are a surprisingly large amount of GOOD questions to vote for, and you can vote down the stupid pro-bailout question.

Of course, by "joining up" you give them info they shouldn't have....
