She didn't give away 80% to the Treasury department, how many people would that have helped?

Thanks for the in depth article. Anyone can chime in to answer my viewpoint. I am having trouble grasping your key conclusion. The Chinese have been producing goods to achieve these imbalances. I would agree that bubbles are the result of the government monetary actions, but that they are manufacturing or exporting bubbles, not credit bubbles. Contraction will decrease the value of exporting or manufacturing, but I don't see the average Chinese consumer at risk.

that was exactly my solution, yeah, lower her rate down to 15%, But we cannot expect them to understand something obvious. Taxing people to go to work and giving that tax money to people who don't go to work. Brilliant plan.

Wages are an expense to a company. A dividend is a profit. They are in different positions on a financial statement. We would be much better off if government had no influence (tax) on where a company spends its money. Perhaps there would not be so much net cash being held on balance sheets.

I don't agree with taxing production, but that is not my biggest issue with current federal government. The problem is what they are buying with the tax dollars.

Ron Paul is as qualified or more qualified than every poster on this message board discussing terrorism. If people would only read what he has written for DECADES, they could actually learn something. Terrorism, Liberty Defined in the google books search bar is all they need.

Ron Paul voted to send our special forces after Bin Laden. Ron Paul is exactly what this country needs.

If the 4,300 dead US soldiers had been working in domestic manufacturing (and still working) our economy would be much different. Both policies are bad, we are a bankrupt empire.

The HuffPo readers need to hear his voice more than any others. Since the Libya War the HuffPo has really split 3 ways. Party Democrats, Anti War Liberals and then everyone else, including me.

Look at the factors needed to sustain life, moderate temperatures, oxygen levels, sea currents, the gulf stream, salinity levels in the ocean, soil components that actually replenish with crop rotations. Natural Gas, Oil, Coal, thermal springs are all other examples of the resources truly unique to planet we have. I don't think it would be that far fetched that an intelligent designer could have intended us to use these resources as we evolve our technologies. Oil, in fact has probably done more to save lives and further our growth in technology than any other planetary attribute. So... Drill baby, drill.

It was never a function of government to provide broadcasting money or grants. Another example of the overly intrusive federal government exerting influence into your life. I applaud O'Keefe, sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Big Government : Federal Deficit: Will Someone Please Stop the Insanity?

As super inflation is starting, that $233 billion of excessive monthly spending will seem low in the future. As the Fed continues to print and inflate the supply of money, we will continue to need more to buy services for our debt and entitlements. Imagine the first raindrop that ended up in a massive mudslide. If you have money in dollars or income denominated in dollars you need to diversify out of the USA and quickly.

Defaulting through inflation seems to be everyones strategy. Rand Paul's $500 billion cut was only 1/3 of what is needed.
