Just when you were ready to relax...
Your biggest risk in Retirement – the one you probably haven’t planned for – is the US Government.
However much you have saved, it can be made worthless over the twenty years you may be retired, thanks to the INFLATION that is the only way our federal government can pay for their wild out-of-control spending.
Another danger our government brings us in our retirement years is WAR, in the form of terrorism that may strike your family and friends here or anywhere in the world. I will show that “terrorism” is a phenomenon created by our government’s bad foreign policy moves. It is very simple to correct, but the present crop of legislators will never do it – With your help, I believe we can replace enough of Congress to change our country’s direction before it is too late.
In fact, all the problems Congress is struggling with now, grew from bad policies put in place by previous office-holders: High medical costs, Crime, an Economy that can’t compete anymore, Unfunded Pension Liabilities that the feds have guaranteed (this is a Biggie!). None of these areas were a problem until the federal government got involved.
And you’ve probably already heard what they’ve been doing with our Social Security taxes. That’s right, our Congress has been spending them. There is no savings account – they’re running Social Security like a Ponzi Scheme! And they haven’t figured in that 76 million Baby Boomers are going to place a huge burden on the reduced number of actual workers, who aren’t going to want to pay more to support us. (Even if you don’t need your social security check, this and several other financial crunches will cause the Feds to crank up the printing presses to pay their way out of an ugly situation. Big inflation will affect you, just when you can least afford it.)
It all adds up to big problems for you and me, coming due in the next few years, when we are less able to take a big financial “hit.” That’s why we need to act now to prepare for the election in 2008.
The only thing I have to sell you is the idea that we can change the mess we’re in if we alert enough of our friends and associates to the dangers. We just elected a new crop of slightly-less-bad apples, but what is the President doing? He’s making plans to increase our troop commitment to a war that we have no chance of “winning.” Plus, he’s maneuvering to get us into a war with Iran and maybe North Korea, too. And our Democratic Congress will go along, at least until a few thousand more of our kids are dead or maimed.
No, most of our Congress needs to be replaced. There is one person in the House of Representatives that I have confidence in. His name is Ron Paul, MD. Ron is listed as a Republican, but his principles are pure Libertarian. Take a look at a speech he gave recently:http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul303.html (Within this speach is contained the real reason we are in Iraq and will possibly soon be making war on Iran.)
Others can explain better than I where our government went wrong. Harry Browne’s book, Why Government Doesn’t Work is a good one. So is Robert Ringer’s Restoring the American Dream.
These gentlemen have laid out the whole vision and a realistic path to making it a reality.
My job – as I see it – is to reach enough Americans through the Internet to make a difference in the next election (2008). I'd like to make you aware of the serious problems we face and to let you know there is a solution, but it’s not what your average politician is telling you.
Just look at their track record! Our Congress hasn’t been able to live within a generous budget for more than 30 years. Why trust idiots like that to correct problems they created?
All the “solutions” they offer require more government, which means more expense for all of us. I believe we’re paying too much for all the problems they’ve already given us: paying for generations of welfare families; paying for illegal immigrants’ medical care; starting wars that have nothing to do with protecting our people, but have everything to do with padding the wallets of corporate campaign contributors.
I’ll go into detail soon. For now, I want to let you know what to expect from this blog. Unfortunately, this isn’t a fulltime venture, so I’ll have to dash off my ideas when I have a moment.
If you like what I’m saying, please tell your friends, family, and associates. Share the books that contain the philosophy behind my blog.
If you don’t like what I’ve got to say, that’s good, too! Tell all your friends about this crazy blog that’s pissing you off. But, keep in mind, I’m not interested in arguing. Discussion, yes. Answering questions, yes. But if you’re really happy with the government we’ve got and the direction it’s going, then you have no business reading these challenging ideas.
Like they say, “We all deserve the government we’ve got.” But I believe we deserve better.
Talk with you soon, I hope.
