The "Enemies of the People" Have Destroyed Freedom

Since the Statists have made THEIR government (NOT the Constitutionally defined, LIMITED government run by honorable, ethical representatives of the people) so complex and management top-heavy, the CUTS need to be identified by the Citizens who pay for their screw-ups. So, I recommend this site for the identification of REAL CUTS that should have been made by 1952. The Downsizing Blog which is a link on this site has a reasonably up-to-date article that shows some minor "cuts" entitled Has Congress Cut Any Spending Yet? This site provides a comprehensive list of WASTE, mismanagement, and total incompetence. Since no political elitist, government thief cares about the expenditure of money provided by citizens from IRS threats of home invasion and/or bank account confiscation (and today, half of it by debt and the Federal Reserve 'rubber bucks'), the elitist 'royalty' parties like its 1999 with the end of the Earth coming soon.

[The Facts About Food Stamps]

If the CONgress, the most despised government body in recent US history, needs more help to finally decide that CONgress is supposed to work for the Citizens of the United States of America and not itself and the rest of the thieves, then I recommend this site for more detailed information regarding the destruction of liberty, political power at the expense of citizens, waste (GSA is only one of many) , fraud (the entire federal government is mostly fradulent), and abuse (if you are a citizen without political power, you are abused) at the hands of the Legislative and Executive branches (legalized, organized crime) of the greatest boondoggle generator of all time!

The Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) has posted the 2012 Government Waste Watch wherein individual members of CONgress are rated on a waste scale devised from how a given member voted to CUT wasteful spending. Voters can use this "pig scale" to determine who should get their vote.

Government bureaucrats want their jobs and they keep them by gaining more and more power and control over their serfs and slaves (us). Government produces NOTHING. Government is a PARASITE that lives off the producers, i.e. private business and entrepreneurs who make and sell a product and employ millions of people who are ripped-off by government.

Just imagine the King and his Court with jesters, a feast of food and drink on the huge table inside the castle and you will understand what the federal government --- OUR LIMITED GOVERNMENT by design --- has become.

FROM ‘The More Power The Government Has…’

July 7, 2014 by Bob Livingston

“The more power the government has, the greater the risk to the people and the more dangerous the abuse.”
Edmund Burke, 1771.

Big government is organized crime in all but name, and the man in the street is numb to the universal risk in today’s world.

Politicians and bureaucrats are spending the world into oblivion while secretly hoping and expecting to escape debt with depreciated dollars: yours. The public is unaware.

Note that your “elected” politicians never talk about the ongoing depreciation (inflation) of paper money (U.S. dollars). They don’t want you to think about this. They would rather you think about Donald Sterling and his frivolous racial comments.

But you should be on high alert. Liquidity is not only negative; it is at its most negative level in history. Are we facing the second Great Depression or worse?

For the third time in 14 years, U.S. stocks are in a bubble and far more leveraged than ever before. There are now more corporate bonds outstanding in the U.S. than there are mortgage-backed securities. This is significant, and the heart of the next crisis and the debt bubble will be non-financial corporate debt.

Investors beware! Stockholders beware!

Thanks to the Fed, it now seems that we have a bubble in all asset classes much larger than 2007. The Fed and other central banks with their expansionary monetary policies, all designed to boost asset prices, are similar to a juggler who is trying to keep all his balls in the air. The Big One is coming and there will be no place to hide except in very depressed gold stocks.

Why Do We Need Term Limits?

John Adams said, “Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey”. That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.

1. Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
2. Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
3. Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
4. Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
5. Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.

Term limits for lawmakers: when is enough, enough?

[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]

Hannibal Is Still Circling Rome

April 16, 2012 by Bob Livingston

Even years after his death, the Roman Senate continued to cry “Hannibal is at the gates,” using the peoples’ fear of Hannibal exactly as the U.S. government and its lapdog politicians today use the myth of terrorism. We are sacrificing liberty for “security” because of the created, imagined threat of terrorists.

The government bureaucracy will never accept responsibility for the collapsing economy, and the elite who run the United States will never give up power. Instead, they attack U.S. citizens on all fronts.

The grand design is to take the remaining wealth of the American people. The borders are silently closing. Tax havens are being attacked. And every wire coming into the United States is being traced for identity.

Even if U.S. authorities collected every foreign bank account or investment, it would make absolutely no difference in the financial default that is coming. It’s a ruse!

There can be no free society once government has granted itself the power to confiscate property, imprison people under any pretext (or without a pretext) and without charge. This is now true in America.

We have professional, lifelong politicians who are paid by the government and directed by the elite. They don’t dare pass legislation to impose term limits to stop career politicians.

The people are now the enemy of the state, and their remaining wealth is seen by the politicians as their solution to maintaining perpetual power. The peoples’ rights, privileges and immunities are being stripped away.

Quoting Bob Livingston:

The conversation about taxes in America is all wrong.

The political elites and the complicit media have convinced the vast majority that taxes are necessary to fund government. Politicians and wrongheaded economists bloviate about where to get the money to fund “necessary” government programs and about paying one’s fair share. Now comes word from the Congressional Budget Office that taxes will increase by more than 30 percent between 2012 and 2014.

The conversation is not being framed correctly, and that is by design. The messengers (propagandists) of the elites want it that way.

First of all, what is truly necessary to fund government; or, better yet, what is necessary government that must be funded? These are questions that are not asked. Politicians won’t address these questions because their goal is to accrue more power over the people through government [italics & color added]. Politicians never relinquish power, and government never shrinks. [emphasis added]

Think for a moment. In 2000, President Bill Clinton submitted a budget of $1.9 trillion for the 2001 year. Do you recall hardships, starving children, neglected old people or a military with antiquated weapons that year? For 2012, President Barack Obama feels his budget must be $3.7 trillion.

With few exceptions over the past 100 years, politicians have been corrupted beyond belief. They are amoral mobsters who now brazenly steal in the open. When they talk of “cutting government,” they are not talking about cutting anything. They are using doublethink on the American people, and the American people are buying into it.

Politicians believe that government must grow, so they operate under the assumption that a growth by a certain percentage each year is not really growth, but the status quo. So when they speak of cuts, what they are speaking of is cutting the rate of growth. Government never gets smaller. (The exception, of course, is Ron Paul, who has said he will cut $1 trillion out of government in his first year and eliminate whole government agencies.)
