Debasing the last US coin that is worth it's face value

Stuff that deficits are made of.

Paper money is made of..........paper. Completely worthless

the penny is made of 97.5% zinc and is worth $0.005

the dime is made of nickel and copper and is worth $0.02

the quarter is made of nickel and copper is is worth $0.06

The only coin made in the US that is worth anything (when I say "worth" I mean it's made out of something worth something, in case that wasn't obvious) is the Nickel.

The Nickel is made of mostly copper and a higher percentage of nickel than the quarter and dime. It is worth $0.06

Maybe it's just me, but I think money should be worth something. This way the government can't just print / make funny money out of thin air. Seems criminal to me. Gov. Perry is correct that it is treasonous.

We need to attach our money to something valuable. Like gold and silver. Look at the inflation we've had since Pres. Nixon disassociated our money from Gold!

Now, the government is whining that it actually costs money to coin the nickel. It should cost money! Our money should be worth something.

It's time to start hording nickels. They are about to go the way of the pre-64 silver quarters and dimes.

Here's the difference:

pre 64 quarter is worth $7.63
pre 64 dime is worth $3.05

This is stuff banana republics do!

Comrade Wilson a sore loser?

The Vindicator seems to think so.

Link here.

My biggest beef with Comrade Wilson was his spending / voting habits. He voted to spend money when he knew we did not have it....causing us to borrow (issue T-bills) against our children's income.

Normal citizens go to jail when they write bad checks, but not Congressmen.

3 points for future posts:

1. Kill the Federal Reserve!!!
2. We need to attach our money to some sort of standard (gold, silver, basket of commodities, etc). This way, the politicians, can't print their way out of debt......causing inflation. Decreasing the value of your money (inflation) while paying off debts with the same currency is stealing.
   
3. We need a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. (this one has to be last, because it would be irrelevant if the Fed can just print more money.)

Just how dumb are we?

Why is it that Chevy, Dodge or Ford have to have a tough guy sell their tucks? They always have someone with a very deep voice talking about "guy" stuff. (whatever happened to the word "men" btw?, "guy" seems rather French to me).

Why can't they just say, this is how much this truck will pull or haul, this is the tire sizes available and here are the different engine options?

They have to show a picture of a crane dropping a load into the back of a truck fro 20 feet up. Like this is what we do in the real world.

Or we have Craftsman trying to sell us tools. Do they really think we are gullible enough to put up with some male model (who is prettier than most women) turning a bolt or nut the wrong way in a commercial and think that this will make us want to buy a tool from them?

Now we have soap commercials for men. Unbelievable. We now have our own special soap. I still can't get over men who wear cologne. Apparently some advertising campaign in the past got some men past the normal revulsion of wearing perfume like a woman.

My point is, these advertisements must work.........even if the do offend those that mostly use these products. Disregard the male perfume for this last sentence.

This brings me to my main point. Comrade Charlie Wilson.

The deficit spending, debt increasing 6th District mistake of a Congressman.

He just sent out an email to subscribers telling us that he is worried about our national debt. The debt that he voted into existence, no less.

I'm afraid we'll fall for this deception for two reasons.

1. We've proven that we will fall for anything, as described above
2. No one pays attention to the actions of politicians. We listen to their slick words. They are usually divergent.

Here's his words on the deficit that he has saddled us and our children with:




"Dear Friend,

I share the concerns that many Americans have about our country’s financial future. With escalating spending and a growing national debt, there is a legitimate concern about how we begin to correct our economic course. I take tackling our debt very seriously, and I know you do too. I want to hear what you think we should do to reign in our national deficit. Where do you think we need to save and where should we spend? I hope you'll take a moment to complete this three question survey."

Here's what you can do Charlie. Resign now. You created this debt and now you want to pretend to fix it to help your re-election chances.

Charlie Wilson votes to continue deficit spending without a budget

Going along with his apparent belief that he knows better than the voters: Comrade Charlie Wilson votes to keep up his rate of spending this country out of existence. This time by voting to keep up the massive spending without even voting on a budget.

Rather than making the tough choices (which he's incapable of) of cutting spending, he votes to "deem a bill passed". This lets him keep spending without a vote on the actual budget.

This guy needs to go.

Hayek is right

This goes for obama as well

democrat deficit spending our kids into bankruptcy

Why is it the media seem to want to make our government a monarchy? They can't seem to grasp the fact that the president is not all powerful.

Here's a story about Obama's spending. However, it's the democrat congress (just like in the late 70's) that is authorizing this massive spending.

They deserve most of the credit of this outrageous spending.

Of course, our Mistake-in-Chief is not vetoing any spending bills either.

Deficits worse than expected

Who would have thought that?

Bloomberg.com story

Massive deficit spending and debt creation by Obama and Comrade Charlie Wilson....and they are surprised that the national debt will rise?



And these people are in charge? We need some adults in Washington.

finally a democrat I agree with

Of course the democrat party has completely lost touch with the democrats of the past.

Big spender (with your money) Charlie Wilson

"This surcharge would affect only 1,100 households in the entire 6th district – that means 99.6% of taxpayers in the district would not see their tax rate change."

Congressman Charlie Wilson, July 29, 2009

Didn't Woodrow Wilson also promise that the new income tax in 1912 would only affect the "rich"?

We see how that worked. There are not enough "rich" people to cover all the costs of "health care".

Zach space no conservative

Here we go again, the media calling Zach Space a "fiscal conservative". Nothing could be further from the truth. This guy voted for the largest tax increase in US history with his cap and tax vote. He's also supported (along with Comrade Wilson) all of Obama's deficit creation bills.

No conservatism at all. This "blue dog" label that Pelosi has allowed these few democrats to keep is nothing more than quasi cover (for re-election) for them to pretend that they are conservatives. Because, in the end, they support our socialist president's crazy / anti-American schemes.

House Dems to move ahead on health care

WASHINGTON — The House is moving ahead on health care legislation after the leadership and fiscally conservative lawmakers worked out a deal.

Rebellious Democrats who have stalled work said Wednesday they've reached agreement with the leadership and the White House. Four of the seven so-called Blue Dog Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee said they resolved their differences with Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif. The lawmakers also had been meeting with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

The development allows the panel — the last of three in the House — to complete its work before lawmakers leave Friday for an August recess.

The four are Reps. Mike Ross of Arkansas, Baron Hill of Indiana, Zach Space of Ohio and Bart Gordon of Tennessee.

Jackson County times passes off Space press release as "news"

The media apparently do not care why no one reads or listens to them anymore. Whatever happened to equal time?

Here the Jackson County Times has a story obviously written by Space's staff being passed off as news. You'd think they'd at least have the journalistic integrity (I know it's an oxymoron) to state the fact that this is a news release.

"Standing up for the needs of his constituents, Congressman Zack Space (OH-18) welcomed the passage of the legislation that funds the ARC at a higher level than last year."

"Space has consistently defended the ARC."

"He is working to restore integrity to the office and create the conditions to bring new industry and jobs to Ohio."

The last one is the best. This from the political hack that just voted against his own district's interests by voting for the cap and tax job killing bill.

HR 1207, Audit the Federal Reserve

This has 224 co-sponsors as of today.



As far as I know, our Congressman Charlie Wilson has not signed on as a co-sponsor. This does not surprise me. I'm curious however, of how one can be against auditing the Federal Reserve. Probably the most important factor in our economy, and surely, with it's artificially low interest rates, the cause of our current recession.

Charlie Wilson is too busy using the Fed's funny money to buy votes than to actually support of an audit of the same.

Now he's even bragging about some sort of a new government ponzi scheme:

"Today the U.S. Treasury Department announced that $45,477,000 in bond authority will be immediately available for local governments in Ohio’s Sixth Congressional District under the Recovery Zone Bonds program. Recovery Zone Bonds, created under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, are targeted to areas particularly affected by significant job loss and will help county governments obtain capital for much needed economic development projects.

These bonds will help in so many ways. The program will make it easier for counties and private businesses to borrow money at a better rate. The counties and businesses that make up my district can then use that money to improve infrastructure, increase job training and help families struggling with this tough economy."

Does he not remember or is it that he doesn't care, that borrowing and increasing debt due to artificially low interest rates is what got us into this mess to begin with?

Charlie Wilson needs to sign as a co-sponsor of HR 1207. If the Fed has nothing to hide, great. However it's Charlie Wilson's job to ensure our money is sound* and the Federal Reserve has some oversight from the people.

Of course, our money will never be sound until it is based on something.

The media Obama lap dogs need to get their stories straight

In their haste to bow down to the Obama and worship, they are giving conflicting fawning stories about what his holiness is doing and saying.

On the one hand you have the newly fiscal conservative obama. He is now "concerned" about our deficit that he and Charlie Wilson forced on us. After raising deficit spending to record heights, now he's "concerned".

"President Barack Obama on Tuesday challenged Congress to pay for new increases in federal benefit programs as it goes rather than sink the nation deeper into a debt, calling it a matter of public responsibility. Republicans lashed back that Obama is no voice of fiscal restraint as the deficit soars.The president's plan would require Congress to pay for new entitlement spending, such as health care, by raising taxes or coming up with budget cuts — a "pay-as-you-go" system that would have the force of law"

Then on the same day he says it's OK to go deeper in debt, as long as he agrees with what the new deficit spending will go for. In other words, it's OK for him to spend like a drunken sailor for things he wants (to pay back his supporters), but the rest of us need to suck it up.

"President Barack Obama on Tuesday proposed budget rules that would allow Congress to borrow tens of billions of dollars and put the nation deeper in debt to jump-start the administration's emerging health care overhaul."

I'm beginning to like Eric Cantor more all the time:

"It's as if the administration and these Democrat leaders are living in an alternate universe," said House Republican Whip Eric Cantor of Virginia. "The quickest way to save money is to stop recklessly spending it."

""It seems a tad disingenuous for the president and Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi to talk about PAYGO rules after ramming trillions in spending through Congress proposing policies that create more debt in the first six months of this year than in the previous 220 years combined," said Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the House Minority Whip."

George Orwell, alive and well

How can you have it both ways?

State that you are going to "create OR save jobs". How can you measure "saved" jobs? You can't.

But here you have Reuters bleating Obama's talking points instead of asking, just how do you measure "saved" jobs?

I guess I'm going to start stating that I "saved" 1,000,000 jobs. This would have just as much credibility as Obama's false promise and funny accounting of "saving" jobs.

Again, media silence.

Can someone make sense of these two sentences from this "story"?

• "Biden said on May 13 over 150,000 jobs had been saved or created in the act's first 77 days."
• "The U.S. economy has lost 6.0 million jobs, including 2.9 million this year, since the recession began in December 2007."

So which is it?

The truth is the unemployment rate is up to 9.4%, the highest in 25 years. All under the democrat party's watch. The unemployment rate continues to rise, no matter how many jobs Obama claims to have saved. If he's actually saving jobs, wouldn't the rate go down?

All Reuters can do is a puff piece on Obama supposedly "saving" jobs. George Orwell is alive and well!

This reminds me of the EnviroNazis' change in terminology from "global warming" to "climate change".... you know, so they can always guess right. Their "global warming" bologna quit working when the earth actually started cooling.

What a waste of tax money!

Like we said in a previous post. ... Here it is.

Be sure and scroll down through the comments in this Mareitta Times story. It looks like the more money Charlie Wilson wastes (trying to buy votes with tax money) the angrier the tax payers get. I'm glad to see someone finally taking notice of this disastrous Representative.

Apologies for all the posts about this one subject, but to a blogger, Congressman Charlie Wilson is a gift that keeps on giving.

If Charlie would just treat tax money like his campaign money..

Congressman Charlie Wilson is spending his campaign money like it's his own money, in that he's being very frugal.

"U.S. Rep. Charlie Wilson of St. Clairsville, D-6th, raised $66,197 and spent $30,607 during the first three months of the year."

Unlike how he treats your money. Notice the debt clock at the top left of the blog.

Of course another way of looking at it is Charlie Wilson doesn't have to use a lot of his campaign money to run for reelection since he's using your money to buy your vote with all the tax cash he's throwing around the district. Taking money out of your wallet and giving it to other people or organizations that he feels deserve your money more than you.

AFA's take on Charlie Wilson's deficit spending votes

AFA's website

"Congress and President Obama just don't get it! The new $3.6 trillion budget includes a deficit of $1.2 trillion. One third of the budget is deficit spending, money we don’t have! That is on top of the $12 trillion we already owe.

How much is $1 trillion? Consider this: A million seconds is 11.5 days. A billion seconds is 32 years. A trillion seconds is 32,000 years. We must strongly oppose the move to make ours a socialist country.

This reckless spending is a moral issue. We are passing on to our grandchildren a debt that we created. Every man, woman and child in the country already owes $35,000, and we are piling more debt on them. We are robbing them of their right to enjoy the American Dream."

Amen!!!
