Never say never. We need a good scandal to make it happen.

That is THE issue of our lifetime, breaking the control of the banks changes everything else. Have you watched the Secret of Oz?

Even though I am closer to Ron Paul, I found out one of my favorite economists is Kucinichs economic adviser, Dr. Michael Hudson. He is a big advocate of the Georgist Model of taxation and a proponent of debt free currency.

If we had a single tax on government granted privilege we could give citizen dividends that could be used to fund the other items Kucinich calls for.

Here is a great site with an interview of Hudson.

Jack Abramoff not enough of a scandal? The entire idea of pouring money into Congress and campaigns is akin to bribery and that in and of itself scandalous.

Audit of the Federal Reserve Reveals $16 Trillion in Secret Bailouts

The first ever GAO(Government Accountability Office) audit of the Federal Reserve was carried out in the past few months due to the Ron Paul, Alan Grayson Amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill, which passed last year. Jim DeMint, a Republican Senator, and Bernie Sanders, an independent Senator, led the charge for a Federal Reserve audit in the Senate, but watered down the original language of the house bill(HR1207), so that a complete audit would not be carried out. Ben Bernanke(pictured to the left), Alan Greenspan, and various other bankers vehemently opposed the audit and lied to Congress about the effects an audit would have on markets. Nevertheless, the results of the first audit in the Federal Reserve’s nearly 100 year history were posted on Senator Sander’s webpage earlier this morning.

You would think that would be enough. Apparently not.

From a Canadians' point of view, D.K. is a real gem of a politician. D.K. is a prime example of someone that America needs to get behind to make things right. So often voters (Canadians, Americans, whoever....) complain that all politicians are bums and that no one who gets elected will make a difference. I say that's BS! America got's the real deal with D.K., and when I say the "real deal", I'm talking someone who will actually kickstart legislation that will help America.

I urge every American who wants to see real change for the better call or e-mail D.K.'s office and encourage him to run against O.B. for the Democratic nomination.

Well, Kucinich is quite the little soldier.......I give the guy credit for that. Ron Paul, I wish he would have stayed out of this next presidential election.......that way Rand would have run.
