Post With All Due Respect Mr. President, That is NOT True.....

With All Due Respect Mr. President, That Is NOT True....

Quote:
"There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy."

— PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA, JANUARY 9 , 2009
***Posted by Alan Burton on 01/30/09***

Source: http://www.campaignforliberty.com

Notwithstanding reports that all economists are now Keynesians and that we all support a big increase in the burden of government, WE do not believe that more government spending is a way to improve economic performance. More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in the 1930s. More government spending did not solve Japan's "lost decade" in the 1990s. As such, it is a triumph of hope over experience to believe that more government spending will help the U.S. today. To improve the economy, policy makers should focus on reforms that remove impediments to work, saving, investment and production. Lower tax rates and a reduction in the burden of government are the best ways of using fiscal policy to boost growth.

Default Opposing 'Stimulus' - Hundreds of Economists Sign on to Cato Institute Ad

There is plenty of disagreement on whether a big-government stimulus project is the best way to bring the United States out of recession. The Cato Institute purchased a full-page ad in major newspapers across the country listing the names of several hundred economists who object to massive deficit spending as an economic stimulus. Cato scholars and ad signatories have made their case on television since the spending program was proposed. http://www.cato.org/fiscalreality

With respect to all those economists and thier leet calculator skills, I dont think you have to be very clever to see how stupid the stimulus project is.

Same ****, different day.

If it does any good at all, it will be to hasten the end of the old paradigm economy and that is what I am expecting.

(My apologies for being rather negative in this post. Normal service will resume.)

And pray tell, what does the Cato Institute have for a solution?

Is it that tired old model of cutting taxes? We've seen what cutting taxes has done for the last 8 years. Isn't it possible that cutting taxes only makes the rich people richer and depletes the coffers?

It would be nice if there were more NON-partisan folks coming out against this instead of just the right-leaning Cato Institute.

It's a Fiat monetary system, backed by fresh air, that is DESIGNED to fail. Failure is built in because it makes those at the top of the pyramid richer and those at the bottom poorer. All these measures allegedly introduced by our governments are just more smoke and mirrors- the US and UK are CORPORATIONS operating under bankruptcy and have been since 1933. Our labour is the only collateral they have- we are economic slaves, plain and simple.

These bailouts are more illusiary money created by the banks and given to the governments at interest to be given back to the banks! Does anyone here believe the US govt had $800bn just floating around waiting to be used?

What is happening is absolutely inevitable. And I wonder if all these FEMA camps are being set up in preparation for our 'owners' seizing the only assets our so-called countries have left- US.

People ask why Blair and Bush haven't been charges with war crimes. The answer is simple- someone higher up in the corporation granted them immunity.

We need to stop looking for new things we can do WITHIN the system to solve problems, because it's the system itself that IS the problem. All this bull**** we see on the news is just more manipulation designed to keep us looking at the gameboard instead of going after the bas***ds that made the rules in the first place.

Ok, so that includes me. Here is the solution as I see it, and it has stuff-all to do with the political side shows in any country.

The Earth is tired of this ****. Recently saved from planet-death and freshly energised by much light and love from helpers on the ground and "in the sky"; she will complete her toxin flush. The powers at her disposal will boggle your mind as they are unleashed. You have recently seen some of the tamer ones in the weather all round the world.

This is not doom and gloom (unless you are of the old school and refuse to awaken) - eitherway you got no option but to either leave (3D death) or ride it out and accept the boon and opportunities that this incarnational experience will give you. Those in the latter group will, no matter the hardship, align thier actions with the correct evolutionary flow of the universe and lend thier efforts with the rest of those brothers and sisters working on the path. Miracles will happen.

A period of harsh rebalance will see the surface of the Earth changed and ready for entry into the next "age" wherein the Earth becomes a 4D planet.

The people who should not have been here in the first place will leave.

Certain physical and spiritual preparations are necessary for everyone - correctly prepared you can survive - you will know what to do.

The process started some time back. It cannot be stopped. The forces of darkness can run, but they cant hide. Thier time is nearly done, and that includes many of the forces behind the situation referred to in the original post.

Over 6000 people have joined this forum and there are over 100,000 posts. Of these posts there are many posts by many people that accurately describe the best ways to prepare yourself for this. It starts with making a simple choice and if you have not made it yet, you are running out of time.

Make your choice.

Bless you all, in the light and in the love of the one infinite creator, here on Earth.

Ok, this is addressed to almost everybody.

Perhaps a lot of people here are busy being distracted by the news, tv, disasters, wars, UFO's and aliens etc or strange information about phenomena round the world, but really its all a distraction. What is going to come is going to come. To the awakened this is an illusion, but its one you are trapped in even if you know its true nature. The process has begun in earnest. Each passing day waves the evidence in front of your face.

What I have said in my previous post in this thread is a broad outline that covers what I think is going to happen in the next 1-3 years in this illusion ( during which time the veil will be withdrawn and the true nature of things will be revealed at an ever increasing pace).

Bluntly, you need to decide if you want to live or die in this process - that is the choice I am referring to. It doesn't matter which you choose, but if you don't, the choice will be made for you.

Your higher self has probably already made the choice for you, but it cant help to affirm it. You may not yet have heard the wake up call to be aware of this yet - if not, dont worry, that will happen quite soon now.

Please ensure that you test my words in your heart before accepting them. Anything that I say here like this should be rejected if you don't think its right - just move on and dont give me a second thought. On the other hand, if you don't reject what I say - then for your own sake - if you are not already preparing yourself spiritually and physically (both in body and in the way you organize your life and circumstances) then act now.

Even if nothing happens you don't have anything to loose.

With all due respect, please don't single me out like this. I am merely commenting on the point of threads like this, which as you said, serve as nothing more than distractions. Perhaps you should give the same lecture about what Avalon stands for to people who spend a lot of time fear-baiting and pushing agendas.

Humble Janitor,

You asked me a question.

>I don't understand where you're coming from here or what choice you're referring to.

I have altered my message to conform to my actual intent.

I am sorry that I bothered you in a way in which I did not intend.

>Perhaps you should give the same lecture about what Avalon stands for
>to people who spend a lot of time fear-baiting and pushing agendas.

Your right, I removed that part.

Blessings Humble Janitor,

I guess you have a plethora of money and are not concerned about how the current policies are going to affect your monetary freedom.

We, here at Avalon, are about preparing for the future and effecting the present.

Myself, I want to know what is happening with the economy so I know what steps to take next. The manipulated mainstream media does not allow publication of information contrary to the PTB agenda. Right, left, center, top, bottom....I believe it is of our best interest to look at all sides.

I am open to different ideas on how to create a debt free and prosperous nation.

One thing I know for sure, it's foolish to believe that spending money will get us out of debt.

Feel free to post any helpful information that you believe will assist your fellow Avalonians prepare for the economic struggle ahead.

I agree with Anchor, it's all an illusion. We still need money until such time the veil is lifted.

Maybe the best solution is for everyone to stop paying income tax. That'll stimulate the government into cutting spending. Ron Paul promotes the elimination of the federal income tax.


Moving Beyond the Fake Stimulus: Reviewing Policies that Produce Real Growth
