Government Stimulus:
The Multi-Trillion-Dollar Free Lunch
By Joel Bowman - The DailyReckoning.com
04/15/10 Taipei, Taiwan – Milton Friedman got it wrong; there IS such a thing as a “free lunch.” Just ask any mainstream economist. These folks relish the opportunity to beguile anyone – whether or not they are possessed of the time and inclination to listen – with a litany of magic public programs, all designed to serve up the gratis grub. The unspoken dilemma, alas, is that “free” lunches are usually so expensive that neither nation nor individual can ever reasonably hope to afford them. Invariably, as those in the European welfare utopia are lately discovering, “free” lunches often end up costing unsuspecting diners their breakfast and dinner money, too…just as the free-market economist had warned. Deficit spending…market meddling…price controls…subsidies…bailouts and boondoggles of every stripe… You name it; the teleconomist has an ill-conceived sermon for credulous acolytes everywhere. Let’s start at the end of the beginning of the end…

The LONG TREND
by Warren Edward Pollock
excerpt:. . . . Markets must be paid for with empire. Capital resides in the life support needed to make the poor rich through compressive anticipatory design science. Freedom depends not on details but instead on the integrity of having overview.
I forecast that we are in a breakdown collapse of empire, not a depression. We must work to reverse the myopic and dated concept of Malthusian shortage through integrity and comprehensive anticipatory design science. Shortly we must either act or face the consequence of societal embezzlement, a dark age.

Judge Andrew Napolitano on Obama Corps
Just what are National Security Issues?

Obama Just Got His Private Army
Remember when Obama said he wanted a "national security force?" Not the national guard, but a civilian force that has not sworn to uphold the Constitution but trains with the military. July 2, 2008 in a speech in Colorado Springs:

Remember that first alarming glimpse of what that army might look like? Notice how much these "Hitler youth" type young men talk about health care! . . . chanting "Alpha-Omega" as if Obama was a god.
