"Just as the government is trying to prevent people from investing in anything other than T-Bills by raising taxes on taxable interest and dividends to confiscatory levels, it's also trying to prevent you from parking your wealth in assets, like gold, that compete with the paper dollars issued by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury."

They are going after conservative pundits that are telling the truth about the state of our currency and are probably looking at ways to either prevent the accumulation of gold or taxing the heck out of it.

Perhaps of interest.

This happened under FDR's reign during the Great Depression, and it should come as no surprise that his 'fellow travelers' at this point in history are walking in his footsteps.

In the 1930’s FDR confiscated gold with only 30 days notice for holders to go to the bank and get what FDR deemed as it’s value not the market! History repeating itself?

Waxman, funny. I wonder if anyone will connect the dots to the Fed printing too much money and the price of gold? Such an obvious connection is beyond the Dems. More like gold is being speculated by speculators? Funny. Just real funny.

Wait, wait; don’t tell me! They are about to outlaw private ownership of gold a la Roosevelt’s gangsters. Right?

Waxman would investigate Stayfree and Midol if they advertised on Beck.

This article is a must read.

The incredibly petulant and low-minded press release from Weiner's office reads like it was written by a special-ed sixth grader. Nothing more than a poorly written rant lashing out at their hobgoblins - Glenn Beck etc.

It's hard to believe this kind of s**t came from a sitting congressman and they're actually going to have hearings on the subject matter.
