Stimulus Package: Recession to Depression

I just finished printing my stimulus piece with the help of Dominique and the serigraph turned out well. Like the stimulus package, the artwork is large, but unlike the stimulus the price is small. My stimulus poster speaks for itself, but below are some enlightening words from Ron Paul and a video discussing why he believes the stimulus funding is a destructive policy. Here is the original story: Stimulus Packages Will Turn Recession Into A Depression

“This stimulus package is going to cost each and every American $6700 of more debt, so how can that be beneficial? If debt was the answer we would of never had a problem.”

“It’s because the government is spending it. If the people were spending it it would be fine, but the government never does anything productive. They have to take money from productive individuals and spend it in non productive ways, so it’s just digging a bigger hole, getting us into bigger debt, and that is the problem.”

“What we’re worried about right now, well certainly I am, is that it’s worse than the 30’s because we’re on the verge of destroying the dollar. So if you think the financial crisis is bad, and the financial system isn’t working, wait ’til you find out when the Dollar doesn’t work.”

“If you want to regulate, regulate Government agencies, regulate the Treasury, regulate the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has no oversight, they’re not even permitted to be audited by law, so that’s the kind of oversight we need. The Federal Reserve has committed trillions of dollars to individuals, corporations and banks, they don’t even have to tell us where it’s gone to.” Ron Paul

Presidential Debate – No Independent Voters Allowed!

As the presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain lie their way to the white house with empty promises, most Americans fail to see the growing nose of deceit. Perhaps the wood and plastic that make up the candidates just might be enough to once again fool the public into believing that these politicians will fulfill everyone’s hopes and desires.

Well the Town Hall debate at Belmont University, in my home town of Nashville, promises to be no different. The so called “Town Hall” debate is not even intended for the citizens of this town. If you do not believe me then just try to go to your “Town Hall” debate and see where your voice can be heard. The Commission on Presidential Debates is a private corporation controlled by the Republican and Democratic parties. They will choose who gets to attend and fill up those mindless seats. Independent voters need not apply.

So the real issues will not even be debated and maybe that is for the better because important issues require straight and true solutions – something which is impossible for a two headed serpent. Regardless, one thing is for sure, these egotists, albeit looking out for number one, have their bodies and minds tied to an even greater and menacing power who is tightening its grip.
