Why are people so critical of the government?

NH Photog - I realized we were going in the wrong direction when we scrapped the Space Program for a few more years in "Nam. Even if we can argue about the need for government supported industrial jobs programs, choosing to build weapons for endless war is simply wrong on many levels compared with choosing to build hardware that supported a positive adventure. We could have had a permanent manned base on Mars instead of the forever war in Afghanistan.

Our country, along with most of the world, has been encouraged to borrow away its own sovereignty and future. Our fate is not our own but controlled by the few financial families that own the world. We have been captured by the financial aristocrats because we fell for their endless prosperity through borrowing mind candy. Take pay for work and you are still free. Borrow and the own you forever.

IMHO the only way to remove ourselves from this trap is to simply declare all of our debts null and void and start over with a new currency. The rest of the world could join us in this revolt against the princes of money. A lot more people would benefit from having their debts canceled than would suffer from losing their nonexistent savings. A few with their wealth based on paper debt would lose everything. They would get what they were owed. The destitution they have planned for the rest of us.

There is no reason to start over with a new currency. What they should do is restructure the debt. The too big to fails should be allowed to fail. The mortgage backed securities should NOT be paid back at all. Then raise interest rates to a normal level. Banks should be paying depositors 7 or 8 percent. That would reign in the spending by the govt.

GET RID of federal departments that do NOTHING POSITIVE and are just a drain on taxpayers-- like Homeland Security and the TSA and the Department of Education (when the states have always been capable of handling that).

We could see things turn around like we have in the past when we defaulted on our national debt.

Here is what Peter Schiff thinks of the government economists. He thinks government economists are clueless because the government has been wrecking the economy with its constant raising of the debt ceiling and printing money and allowed the economy to get worse AND IT KEEPS ON DOING IT!

It is almost as if someone had access to your checking and savings and decided to steadily drain your bank accounts while giving all your money to irresponsible gamblers. Wouldn't you be a little critical if not downright INCENSED if that happened to you? Whether you realize it or not, it IS happening to you and to all of us with all the expansion of the money supply and the subsequent inflation and the devaluing of the dollar by these central banksters. Devaluing the dollar means it takes more dollars to buy what used to take fewer dollars so in essence you are being robbed of your purchasing power and it is as if you had less money in your bank accounts. Except for a few people like Ron Paul, the rest of Congress just sits back and watches the American public get scr$wed! OF COURSE we should be critical! We should be OUTRAGED!
