You seem to overlook the fact that our constitution declares that only congress and the treasury has the power to create and regulate currency. why keep paying a bunch of the richest people in the world to manage our nation’s financial affairs? (aside from being unconstitutional?)

Throughout history, exploration has been a powerful strategic tool. Both Spain and Portugal turned themselves into superpowers in the 15th and 16th century through overseas expansion. By contrast, China, which at the time had a technological edge over the Iberian states, chose not to explore and was put on the defensive. Ultimately, as we all know, China's retrograde policies pushed the Middle Kingdom into a half-millennium-long tailspin. Further, we might consider the enormous advantages that England reaped by colonizing a large portion of the world. Not only did Britain's empire generate wealth for the homeland, albeit often cruelly, but it also inspired technological development at home. And in the world wars of the 20th century, Britain's colonies, past and present, gave the mother country the "strategic depth" it needed for victory. For their part, the Chinese seem to have absorbed these geostrategic lessons. They are determined now to be big players in space, as a matter of national grand strategy, independent of economic cycles. - Fox News Blog Libertarian philosophy has languished for a very long time because it is defined by what it is against rather than by what it is for.

What they say isn’t the point. The issue with their meetings is that we can’t know what they say unless they tell us and that is not the way the government is supposed to work.

Personally, I couldn’t tell you one way or another whether they are creating the new world order or playing a long game of bingo. The issue is that we, the American people, should know what a private group of individuals that control our money are talking about with other nations. The congress is either too scared or too complacent to require such a disclosure.

By the way, coincidently, I own two McDonald’s. Neither of which cost a million dollars.

I did. I saved for years and eventually had enough money to open my own business that is sucessfull and thrives in even the worst economy. It was hard. I had to do without a lot of fancy things like the latest iPods or whatever, but I did it.

It is absolute BS to say that people can’t open a business without a loan. You are clearly young and/or ignorant of the real world.

I think his point is that you can’t prove what they are discussing. The only thing you know about their conversations is what they tell you.

Geez, Sean, did you memorize that propaganda or is that your very own flavor of BS. What ever happened to saving your money and opening a business without going to a bank? Is that just to 20th century for the “new economy” or something. Here’s a though, maybe people need to pay off their debts, stop buying needless cars,electronics, and gadgets, and pay cash for everything they do need.
