Can’t chew bubble gum and walk at the same time? I’ll clear a path when seeing myopic people like you coming. A little history reminder....we were facing off the comminists on SEVERAL fronts around the globe in the sixties, were knee deep in Viet Nam and just somehow managed to go from monkeys in bottle rockets to landing a man on the moon, all at the same time!
The border issue is VERY easy to solve if only we had a government (state and local) with the intestinal fortitude to tackle it. Globalization is not the issue, its vote buying.
And it is about vote buying and globalism. Our political system is out of control, and it's time we took it back.
Some very conservative thought on the larger issues of our day by Ludwig von Mises:
These are the ideas that drive Ron Paul. No other candidate is discussing the dire need we face of returning to sound banking and a principled foreign policy. We simply cannot afford to continue printing money as our dollar weakens to new depths, and foreign creditors nip at our heels.
- There was no reason whatever to abandon the principle of free enterprise in the field of banking.
- It is extremely difficult for our contemporaries to conceive of the conditions of free banking because they take government interference with banking for granted and as necessary.
- What is needed to prevent any further credit expansion is to place the banking business under the general rules of commercial and civil laws compelling every individual and firm to fulfill all obligations in full compliance with the terms of the contract.
- Imprudent granting of credit is bound to prove just as ruinous to a bank as to any other merchant.
Duncan Hunter talks about the Chinese threat. But he's not discussing the monetary component of China's meteoric rise. We need a sound fiscal policy to compete economically with the likes of China.
