			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Barackazillion is &#8220;The Only Currency You Will Ever Need&#8221; &#8211; go to <a href="http://barackazillion.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://barackazillion.com/</a> and watch the video to see how it works.</p>
<p>&#8220;Money We Can Believe In&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;As Good As Gold&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://docs.google.com/File?id=dgf56sb3_492gsz2zchf_b" target="_blank"><img src="https://docs.google.com/File?id=dgf56sb3_492gsz2zchf_b" alt="" /></a></p>
<p>For those who lean left or right, I would have created the same currency for Bush had I thought of it then. Contrary to mainstream media belief, the Republicans were big spenders too during the Bush years. They have only become fiscally conservative to have something to counteract the Democrats with since this mostly neo-conservative Republican party has been duped into loving and supporting wars (you know who you are). How Christian of you&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Understand the Truth</strong></p>
<p>I am neither left nor right in my political views. The media would have you argue left versus right politics till you are blue or red in the face. The whole time the elites of the world, including those who are in Congress, you know, the one&#8217;s you keep electing to office each year, are destroying our monetary system. It&#8217;s the monetary system that keeps things going. Congress should let the bad banks fail and we move on with a secure system. Instead, both sides of the political aisle, in the name of &#8220;saving the system&#8221; only put us further into debt and deficits.</p>
<p><strong>So What&#8217;s Next?</strong></p>
<p>If you are a Christian, Atheist, Black, White, Gay, Straight, you are being affected by what Congress does. It matters not who is at the top except for the executive powers they abuse.</p>
<p>I will create a new currency exposing the same issues for the next President if Obama doesn&#8217;t get elected to a second term, although Romneyazillion just doesn&#8217;t have the same zing to it&#8230;</p>
<p>The point of the Barackazillion currency is to mock our Federal Reserve System that continues to print money out of thin air in allowing Congress to pay for things (wars, deficits and national debt), thus enslaving us for years to come. This has to end! Electing a different leader doesn&#8217;t change anything!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve personally used the Barackazillion to pay for a taxi ride. I convinced the driver that it was a new currency available here in the U.S. and he accepted it (I later paid cash after testing out my theories that I could convince people it is acceptable currency). This is the level we have devolved to in America. People believe anything they hear&#8230;like from the mouths of Congress and the media. In the end, Congress will do what the elitist want them to do. They&#8217;ll bail out the banks. They&#8217;ll bail out big business. They&#8217;ll have you pay for it. Why don&#8217;t you citizens here in America understand this? Why do you believe everything the media tells you to believe as if it&#8217;s Gospel? The media is complicit in what is happening too. Why don&#8217;t most of you who are glued to the television get it? Of course there are exceptions to this&#8230;more people are waking up.</p>
<p>Much of this analysis I do will be explained further in my forthcoming book, &#8220;We the Serfs.&#8221; I have spent the last 5 years working on this book and have put all the pieces of the puzzle together for you to understand what&#8217;s really going on in America. It is a Christian/Political book based on facts. It is also a book that those of any other religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation, will agree makes sense. Of course those in Congress and the media won&#8217;t really like it, except for a few.</p>
<p>This isn&#8217;t any kind of conspiracy theory either. When I say the media is complicit, I can prove it. Of course there isn&#8217;t any media in America that will allow me to explain, so I am going after those who keep the truth from U.S. citizens by mocking them. It&#8217;s rather easy for me to do you know&#8230; Naturally, creating a currency that competes with Federal Reserve Notes would not be something that Congress or the Federal Reserve would want for us citizens. That&#8217;s why they tax gold and silver at 28%. They don&#8217;t want competition to their monetary system scheme. But unfortunately, it is this scheme that cannot last, and you will be the one left without a chair at the end unless you do something now.</p>
<p><strong>Solutions</strong></p>
<p>Congress would not be able to do this if there was no Federal Reserve enabling them to spend more than they have available. Congress would not be able to keep spending more than they have available if there were a Constitutional amendment to constrain their spending to income earned like the rest of us have to do living here in America.</p>
<p>Ending the Fed and implementing a Constitutional amendment would result in the following;</p>
<ul>
<li>The over-spending by Congress would end</li>
<li>The wars would end and lives saved</li>
<li>The economy would recover</li>
</ul>
<p>You have choices come election time. That&#8217;s what the media would have you believe. But no matter who you elect won&#8217;t change the flawed system. The rules have to change first, and we elect people who will abide by those rules. Every Congressman swears to uphold the Constitution. They simply don&#8217;t once in office. So taking away one of their tools that allows them to spend like drunken sailors is the first step. We must End the Fed. A second step is to implement a Constitutional amendment that constrains Congress with SEVERE penalties, including personal ones (loss of government pension, loss of health care benefits in retirement, etc.), if they don&#8217;t adhere to it. Without the penalties, Congress will continue to abuse us citizens like they have since 1971. Make it personal and they&#8217;ll act in our best interest rather than the elite&#8217;s. After all, it is We the People they serve.</p>
<p>There is of course more to it than these simple changes. Again, this will be explained further in my forthcoming book.</p>
<p><strong>What happens if there are no Congressional constraints and the Federal Reserve continues to implement Quantitative Easing?</strong></p>
<p>If we don&#8217;t do something that stops this madness that Congress and the Fed have become, the result will be &#8220;We the <del>People</del> Serfs.&#8221; It will result in the end of the greatest country&#8217;s economic system on earth. It will result in the end of our monetary system as we know it because everything Congress and the Fed does is unsustainable. It&#8217;s simple math folks&#8230;there&#8217;s a reason why our kids calculators can&#8217;t compute one Trillion&#8230;.or one Barackazillion (you really do have to <a href="http://barackazillion.com" target="_blank">watch the Barackazillion video</a>).</p>
<p><strong>We must live within our means as a nation for the system to work! Everyone else has to! This is the issue&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Feel free to pass this message on to your family and friends&#8230;or, do nothing and just elect the same people into office who cater to the elite&#8217;s because they have the tools to make themselves wealthy at your expense. It&#8217;s up to you to be proactive. Enlightenment can come with a simple forwarding of this message&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2005, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) came out with a <a href="http://www.asce.org/reportcard/2005/index2005.cfm" target="_blank">report card</a> on America&#8217;s Infrastructure. The overall grade from the 2005 report was D, down from a D+ in 2001. William Henry, president of the ASCE, said; &#8220;Since the time our infrastructure was last graded in 2001, there has been little or no improvement in any of the 12 infrastructure categories.</p>
<p>Here is the 2005 Report Card on the 12 categories:</p>
<p>Aviation &#8212; D+</p>
<p>Bridges &#8212; C</p>
<p>Dams &#8212; D</p>
<p>Drinking water &#8212; D-</p>
<p>Energy &#8212; D</p>
<p>Hazardous waste &#8212; D</p>
<p>Navigable waterways &#8212; D-</p>
<p>Public parks &#8212; C-</p>
<p>Rail &#8212; C-</p>
<p>Roads &#8212; D</p>
<p>Schools &#8212; D</p>
<p>Solid waste &#8212; C+</p>
<p>Transit &#8212; D+</p>
<p>Wastewater &#8212; D-</p>
<p>SOURCE: American Society of Civil Engineers</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a game that I played years ago called Sim City. The basis for Sim City is managing local government. The objective of the game is to use your decision making skills to build a city and manage the city as potential disasters and other problems arise. Some schools, such as Auburn University use Sim City to teach students systems thinking, problem-solving skills and &#8220;craft&#8221; in the planning profession.</p>
<p>I remember in playing this game that if I concentrated on one aspect of planning and neglected others, there were consequences, sometimes severe consequences. This leads to our current situation here in America. For now, our nation&#8217;s leaders (Congress and the President) are spending their time waging undeclared wars where the cost to pay for said wars aren&#8217;t even included in the budget deficit figures.</p>
<p>So when will our leaders decide that our own nation needs some TLC and leave other nations to depend upon their own people to survive? The answer will probably be found when the next bridge collapses or the water situation hits crisis level. A &#8220;D-&#8221; for drinking water? Are you kidding me?</p>
<p>Our leaders are reactive, not proactive. The only thing that they are leaders of is the march towards the destruction of America as we know it! They would lose every game of Sim City they ever played. If only there were no consequences.</p>
<p>The next ASCE report card is due out in 2009. I can only imagine what further deterioration will have occurred. Can the grade of &#8220;F&#8221; be too far off? If your child receives these types of grades, are you proud of them? No! You do what you can to fix the problem by paying more attention to what is causing it!</p>
<p>What&#8217;s causing our problems in America? We need $1.6 trillion over the next 5 years to fix our infrastructure. Where will that money come from? Is it in the current budget? Will war with Iran make things better or worse? Does Congress even ask these types of questions?</p>
<p>So to pay for the repairing of infrastructure, congress can only do one of two things; raise taxes or print more money (the hidden tax called inflation).</p>
<p>Either way, you will pay more for everything.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll find out what&#8217;s going on with your state&#8217;s infrastructure <a href="http://www.asce.org/reportcard/2005/states.cfm">here.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Things are going real well in the war on terror, just take a look at this list;</p>
<p>Stock market is falling apart&#8230;</p>
<p>Dollar has fallen 40% since the war began&#8230;</p>
<p>World food crisis because of rising food prices&#8230;</p>
<p>More people IN THE U.S. getting food from local food banks&#8230;who are low on supplies&#8230;</p>
<p>Real inflation rate in double digits (you know..utilizing the same criteria for figuring inflation from the Carter years)&#8230;</p>
<p>Housing bubble has burst&#8230;</p>
<p>Consumer debt over 2.6 trillion&#8230;</p>
<p>National debt over 9.3 trillion&#8230;</p>
<p>Trade deficit averages 58 billion a month&#8230;</p>
<p>Budget deficit in the hundreds of millions doesn&#8217;t even include the cost for the wars&#8230;</p>
<p>Real Unemployment near 14% when you include the &#8220;discouraged workers&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Industrial production has contracted year over year&#8230;</p>
<p>Oil and Gasoline prices at record levels&#8230;</p>
<p>There are no consequences to our actions around the world are there?</p>
<p>Things are going real well! We&#8217;re winning! We&#8217;re winning!</p>
<p>Meanwhile, seniors on a fixed income are crying&#8230;</p>
<p>Where we go from here I prefer not to dwell on&#8230;</p>
<p>But hey! &#8230;we&#8217;ve got Obama or McCain to save us!</p>
<p>Editor&#8217;s note: I did not include in the above analysis, the losses of liberty to include; the patriot act, various house and senate bills that will take away more of our freedoms, including your right to free speech in criticizing the U.S. government that passed the House by a huge margin (Senate Bill &#8211; S. 1959), legal wire tapping and domestic spying (FISA), right to detain indefinitely, TSA pat down search abuse and now body scanners, terrorist watch list now over 900,000, real ID in the works, International Cyber Crime Treaty and loss of private property through Eminent Domain to name a few.</p>
<p>YOUR ELECTED CONGRESS HARD AT WORK!</p>
<p>To do something about those elected Congressmen and women, read <a href="http://www.nolanchart.com/article4150.html">Alex Wallenwein&#8217;s fine column.</a></p>
