So it's done

Well the congress just passed the for lack of a better word stimulus bill, I was surprised that they bothered to pass a bill to stimulate the economy that has no chance of doing what it was intended to do. I have decided that any one who voted for it in congress should be removed from office for incompetence. What will fix the economy is simple, cut taxes, capital gains, and income taxes, pass a balanced budget amendment with a clause that says that government cannot raise discressionary spending one dime until our national debt is paid off.

Implement sound monetary policy, recent the banking regulations that force banks to give morgages to people who can't afford them. Make it public policy that any business that gets into trouble will be allowed to fail no matter what. Encourage savings through tax incentives to do so. Start a phased in comsumption tax to replace the income tax, begin to slowly roll back entitlements from the federal government, pass trade policy that is fair, get government out of the private sector, regulate with logic and reason and a steady, soft hand. Impeach Representatives Barney Frank, Senator Chris Dodd, and anyone else who forced banks to give loans according to political correctness rather then actual ability to repay.

Finally put America on the precious metal standard a combination of Gold, Silver, and Platenum to back up our currency, remove excess money from circulation and make it abundantly clear that in America no one is owed a living by the government so long as they are of able mind and body. That is what I will devote whatever political life I have left to promote. Hopefully we can get back the America that we all learned out in school the one where nothing is impossible if your willing to WORK for it, and not have it handed to you by the government.
