John McCain And Marco Rubio's "Let’s End Conservatism In America Amnesty Bill" -If you look at the picture above, Chuck Schumer has his arms folded & smiles down condescendingly on Rubio as Rubio speaks. Yes, the spider caught the fly in his web of deceit & America, or what's left of it, seems ready to die a little more very soon.

Move your money out of ANY bank in ANY country asap!! What happened in Cyprus (or some modified version of it) is coming to a country & bank near you!! Borrowers struggling to repay loans is only the most visible part of the problem. Then there's the $1,400 Trillion + figure (last time I heard) of shadow "derivatives" circulating around the world that are off bank balance sheets & which are basically just "bets" that could go wrong & explode at any time if/when those bets go bad. ALL BANKS are probably now insolvent with their insolvencies just papered over awaiting government backed "bail-ins" so as to be able to confiscate their depositors money in one form or the other.

"What started out as a voluntary program for many physicians has turned out to be a requirement much of the time, especially if a physician wishes to retain hospital privileges or remain on insurance panels." -Yes, all this testing started out as voluntary AFTER all the other testing & requirements needed to get a license to practice medicine. Over time, fees have exploded & now the extra testing has basically become required. I knew some people must be getting fabulously rich over this scheme of testing every 2-5 years. $600 million/year for just the MOC program & 6-7 figure salaries for many at the top!? Madness!!!

We have entered the era where black is now white & white is now black. Also, either there is no such thing as good or evil -or- good is now evil & evil is now good. I think there was a warning someplace about times like these.

The US Corporate tax rate should go to ZERO, not just to 5%. Any corporate taxes are simply passed on to the consumers in the way of higher prices that make US produced goods less competitive with goods produced in other countries.

The only people giving up on gold were the speculators in paper gold & who now are shifting their paper US Dollars into other paper investments. But the people who distrust the paper US Dollar & other paper investments (like the stock market & bond market) have not given up on gold or silver and see this drop in price as simply a buying opportunity. I sold half my stocks yesterday & will be buying more gold & silver. When a high dividend bond matured for my mother-in-law 2 weeks ago, I rolled only part of it into a 3% CD with the rest of it to go into gold & silver also when I'm sure the bottom as been put in on these Precious Metals.

Yes, the Obama Administration has a long train of abuses, but the IRS has been used in past administrations to target political opponents & past administrations have been guilty of other abuses of the Constitution. But I do not want to minimize or justify what the Obama Administration has done. However, the main problem is: BIG GOVERNMENT. The bigger the government, the more it will inevitably & eventually abuse others. The only rational solution: return to small, limited, Constitutional government.

It seems the US intelligence agencies now have the capacity (or soon will have the capacity) to track in real time everything any person goes with a smart phone, says on any phone or communicates in any manner in cyberspace. Because the IRS assumes you are guilty until proven innocent of tax avoidance, they will soon have, or might already have, the same ability to track you as do the US intelligence agencies. Because the IRS is run by political appointees, it often has a political agenda of its own. Woe to those citizens who pay taxes & have an opposing political point of view.

correct!!

I would just like to add that except for the spike in Federal spending during the Civil War (up to 14.46% of GDP), Federal spending was usually around 3% of GDP. As an advocate for the benefits of small Constitutional government, self reliance (rather than government dependence), more individual freedom (& more personal responsibilities), sound money (gold & silver) & a balanced budget... I think the US Federal spending should revert back to a cap of 3% of the GDP, except in cases of war (declared by Congress).
