Old Project Avalon Forum (ARCHIVE) - A word of warning to everyone!

Quote:

I have a question though. Will teachers and other social workers be laid off (since their under federal budget) if the depression happens and the value of the dollar is worthless?

The question itself, for me at least, points out some of the many faults that led us to this very spot.

To begin with it must be understood that government produces absolutely nothing. Government gloms onto power by usurping control of fractions of society, and then the accompanying funding.

"teachers and other social workers be laid off (since their under federal budget)":
There is nothing in the Constitution which gives the Feddle Gummint authority to meddle in education in any way. they simply steal the money, then set conditions for "returning it". a simple power grab. They educate no one. Social workers are not in their perview either.

So what we have here is a grand summation of things the Fed should never be doing under any circumstances.

With regard to our worthless money.... we've basically been swindled. Robbed. Congress was given a job:

Article 1 Section 8:
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures; To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;

Section 10:
Section 10 says Congress will notallow anyone to emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;

Notice that Congress was NOT given the authority to fob this job off to any outside entity. Like The Federal Reserve.

Heres the bottom line. This nation has been on about an 80 year track towards bankruptcy. Both parties share the blame. Calling it a left or right problem is just wasting time.

Look at it this way;
1. For the last 80 years this nation has paid every single bill with a credit card that charges $1.05 for every $1.00 spent.
2. Most of the time, the taxes collected haven't even covered the $1.00, let alone the $1.05.
The govt is therefore broke.

If things come to it, the Fed will suddenly "discover" that paying teachers, etc is "none of their business", and drop the job (rightly) back on the local governments. Now the question is, will the local govts have the guts, and brains to then stop handing their money to the Fed?

Another discovery people are about to make is that this nation no longer has the tax base to simply "buy" our way out of this fix. Normally that is what the Fed does, by borrowing on your, your children's, and grandchildren's income. Trick is we don't all have the kind of jobs that allowed such taxation to have an effect, anymore.

That used to rely on jobs at places like GM, Ford, Catepillar, US Steel, etc. Those people nowadays all work at McDucks, Burger King, and Wanda's Nail Boutique. Not the same tax base.

The Fed is out of tricks. So there are going to be a few holes in our society while things sort of "fall" to their natural level.

Good news is, now is the time to "re-insist" on our freedom. To re-insist that government stay within it's proper boundaries. That people take on their own loads. And that we celebrate in our own, and others freedom while we do this.
