Resolved Question: Did you know that a North American Union WILL be created in 2010 (USA CANADA MEXICO)?

The media has been doing a good job of exposing this to a minimum, but it will all be revealed very quickly so there is no protest. The government is going to try to combine the USA, Canada, AND Mexico so that there will be no borders and that we all have the same currency... the AMERO, just like the EURO. I know you probably don't believe me because you never heard of it before but its true... multiple talk shows have tried to expose it (some have been FIRED), even GLENN BECK on CNN said that it WAS real and that the Government is slowly putting it together through little pieces (like the North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA). Anyways... what this means is that the United States Constitution will be abolished and new rules and regulations will be created. Is anyone okay with this? I AM NOT!!!!!!! Does it sound safe to abolish the one piece of paper that has ensured safety and equality to America for 100's of years? Do we even know what this means? Another reason I'm against this is because I am against "Globalization" and think the more "Global" the world gets in its affairs and regulations, the more conflict and war will become imminent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsYz6xwFVTQ more

Voting Question: Will ending borrowing our own money from the Federal Reserve Bank at interest restore our economy?

THE RON PAUL SOLUTION: "Here's what we HAVE to do to solve the problem," says Paul: "1) Let banks and companies fail if they cannot survive on their own 2) Stop inflating asset prices with government purchases and bailouts 3) End the Trillion dollar annual spending to maintain the US Global Empire 4) Bring all our troops and assets home from around the world 5) End the fractional Federal Reserve banking system that caused the hyper asset inflation through pyramid debt 6) Have the US Treasury take charge of our monetary system and create a non debt based system. Former Asst. Sec. of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts (one of the few who has bucked the system) agrees with this in general when he writes, "The trillions of dollars in credit default swaps (CDS) should be declared null and void. These 'swaps' are simply bets that financial instruments and companies will fail, and the bulk of the bets are made by people and institutions that do not hold the financial instruments or shares in the companies... There is no reason under the sun for taxpayers to bail out gamblers... "To preserve the dollar's status as reserve currency, a credible policy of reducing both budget and trade deficits must be announced. In the near term the budget deficit can be reduced by $500 billion by withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan and by cutting a bloated defense budget that represents the now unattainable goal of US world hegemony. The trade deficit can be significantly reduced by bringing off shored jobs back to America [can't be done without a wholesale changing of the labor, environment and tax regulations that drive companies overseas (as much as lower labor costs]. "This approach to the economic crisis stands in marked contrast with the approach of the gangsters running US economic policy. The gangsters are using the crisis as an opportunity to steal from taxpayers and to finance their misdeeds and exorbitant salaries with Federal Reserve loans. Their shills among economists and the financial press tell the people that the solution is to fatten up the banks with funds so they will resume lending to an over-indebted public that will then return to the shopping malls. This unrealistic approach to a serious crisis indicates a leadership crisis on top of an economic crisis." It's not a leadership crisis in terms of lack of understanding or lack of competence. This is a conspiracy of greed and power. A little review of the nature of this conspiracy is in order. more

Resolved Question: How will you react when China fulfills many of the dreams of the US founders (please read entirety)?

1. Capable of defending itself and its interests 2. Trade with as many nations as possible, steering clear of any major alliances 3. Democratic Republic (hasn't happened but there are major changes that will come to China as the Chinese middle class grows tremendously and people start demanding more from their government) 4. A government that allows the capitalist free market system to work to its fullest with as little regulation as possible, enough only make sure there is fair competition 5. Gold backed currency (China's central bank is buying up thousands of tons of new gold and has been openly talking about backing their currency with gold from what I understand) 6. China won't be able to get rid of their Central Bank like the founders of the US wanted to do originally because of the problems Britain created in the original colonies of the US relating to fiat money (money with nothing backing it) 7. People are free to make their own decisions and choices, many individual freedoms (this will most likely come with the increase in wealth) 8. Freedom of religion (won't happen for an extremely long time) So, what do you think? How will you react when China fulfills many of the dreams of the US founders (please read entirety) Actually, I would say the authoritarian rule that is in China comes from the amazing OBSESSION (emphasized) with stabilizing the country.

Xinjiang Province otherwise called East Turkestan otherwise called Uighuristan 3. Mongolia 4. Hong Kong 5. Taiwan It is a free market. Central Government planning does NOT (emphasized) work, it fails every time, Socialism FAILS EVERY TIME (emphasized).

Resolved Question: analysis of this article?

South Korea and the global financial crisis Wed, Dec 3 02:20 AM The Republic of Korea (South Korea) has recently taken proactive measures to cope up with the implications of American financial crisis, which has become global in nature. It is said that all the countries which are closely linked with the American financial system are going to be severely affected by it. Even if Richard Murray, the IMF's Pacific region director, assures that South Korea is much better positioned to weather the current economic downturn, there are apprehensions expressed about the impact of crisis on South Korea. A closer look at the South Korean economic fundamentals makes it obvious that there is more fiction and fewer facts in most of the formulations of doomsday sayers. It is necessary to keep economic fundamentals central to any predictions about the impact of this crisis on South Korea. Basically, some recent problems of the South Korean economy could be attributed to two other reasons, which have no direct correlations with the American financial crisis. The first is an unexpected surge of global oil prices in the mid-2008. Korean expenditure on the import of crude oil reached up to $17.7 billion and it got reflected in increasing current account deficit of the country. As of August 2008, the current account deficit of the country reached around $12.6 billion. However, after the price of crude oil has come down around 30%, there is a strong probability that the current account deficit of Korea would improve significantly. The second source of the problem is unreasonable doubts over the health of the Korean economy. Thus, it is important not to overlook the positive trends to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of the crisis on South Korea. It is inappropriate to understand the impact of present crisis on Korea by comparing it with the 1997 financial crisis as both are quite different in their origin and nature. Whereas, the 1997 crisis was a product of domestic financial mismanagement, the present crisis is evidently exogenous in nature. If we compare the economic indicators of South Korea during the 1997 crisis and now, it is obvious that both are quite different. In the first scenario, Korean foreign reserve was only $8.4 billion, but it has now climbed up to $240 billion. In 1997, the South Korean total external debt to foreign reserve was 1,957%, which is now 173% only. In addition, in the 1997 crisis, the South Korean Bank's Non-performing Loans (NPL) ratio was 6% which in now less than 0.6%. Unlike in the 1997 crisis, most of the economic fundamentals of the Korean economy are quite sound. Now, Korea has less than one third of its foreign loans as short-term and it has a comfortable $240 billion of foreign reserves to deal with any unforeseen situation. On the basis of these strong fundamentals, it could be said that though South Korean economy would get affected by the American financial crisis, the effect could not be compared to the 1997 crisis. An export-led South Korean economy would undoubtedly face problem because of the shrinking American and European markets but the North America and EU constitute only 13.3% and 15.1% of the South Korean export market. In contrast, China, Asean, Japan and other countries constitute 22.1%, 10.4%, 7.1%, and 19.1% of Korean export market respectively. Furthermore, the basket of South Korean export is also quite diversified. In the wake of crisis, the South Korean export to the US and EU would get affected, but the crisis would propel South Korea to concentrate more on intra-regional trade and explore new export destinations. It is interesting to mention that the South Korean export to China has grown despite the recent slowdown of China's exports. The South Korean export to China expanded 33.7% in the second quarter of 2008. China has been working to boost its domestic demands and it would be a good opportunity for Korea to capture upcoming market in China. Recently, South Korea, without being unnecessary perturbed by the crisis, has set an ambitious target of increasing its exports to $500 billion by 2009. The doubts about the South Korean external debt, banking and housing sectors are also not sustainable. For example, the external debt is around $420 billion but $152 billion of it is risk-free. Similarly, South Korean banking sector has moderate loan growth in 2008 with a continued low level of delinquency. Also, South Korean banks do not have currency mismatch problem which was there in the 1997 crisis and South Korean housing sector has maintained balanced growth rates supported by robust mortgage regulations in recent years. When there is crisis of faith in market, genuine or imagined, it is the responsibility of the state to intervene and provide assurance about the economic health of the country. South Korean government has taken various proactive steps to curb potential negative fallouts of the crisis. On October 19, the go more

Princess K: As far as the mandatory service goes, that is really based on whether or not you want the privilege of voting. Note this service is in the defensive national guard, not the regular military. Our Founders said defense of this country is the duty of every citizen and if you were unwilling to do so, we neither want nor ask for your council. Istainjaa: You pay for the voluntary health care. The program is based on using the buying power of an entire state to create a lower price structure, much like a larger company can get lower rates than my little business with 10 employees. Currently the Federal government supports unemployment. Federal charity is unconsititutional. Malcolm Equis: I've sent you an email to help clarify since my response is to long winded for an "edit". Erick: It is a Federal insurance program you pay into. Actually our proposal uses non-profit insurance providers that bid for States. So technically the federal government only outlines the minimum program requirements and monitors performance - the providers do the rest. Federal charity is unconstitutional, so any assistance programs would have to exist at the State level. Pampoulmouse: The 15th week was selected based on the development cycle of a fetus. During the 15th - 18th weeks the fetus develops a cerebral cortex, which allows an individual consciousness to form and therefore the possiblity of emotional harm develops. Prior to that it is little more than a growth. James L: I do not support isolationism. I do support non-interventionism. The internal affairs of another nation are not our concern, and we should respect their national sovereignty if we expect them to respect ours. Trade is the key to diplomacy. Most of our current issues on the world stage evolved from interference and maintaining a cold war military structure. Bad ideas. My attitude is we will leave you alone until you give us a valid reason not to. Then we should punish you for it. Spock for Prez: 1. Why the need to add the bit about transfer of custody? We already have systems in place to allow adoption of a foreign child. My neighbors just adopted a Russian baby. 2. How does your marriage amendment protect liberty? 3.

Considering I posted this closer to 1am in my time zone, at 11:50 you should be rested and ready to go. 2. Yes. Yes I know the agenda set forth here is hard. Does the fact that something is hard make it less worthwhile to do? Where would we be if our Founders had said, "Revolution is hard, we probably shouldn't."? How many doctors would we have if they said,"Meical school is hard, I think I'll quite before I start."? Those who focus on the obstacles never see the goal. 3.

Resolved Question: Do you agree with the theory that George W. Bush is responsible for the current economic crisis?

Do you agree with this: BUSH ADMINISTRATION responsible for 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I see a lot of politicians and forum members pointing fingers at who was responsible for the 2008 Financial Crisis we are currently experiencing. The answer is really simple. THE BUSH ADMINSTRATION! Bush selected the Board of Governors at the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve Governors are responsible for Banking Oversight. The below quotes are found here: Federal Reserve System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Quote: Private banks elect members of the board of directors at their regional Federal Reserve Bank while the members of the Board of Governors are selected by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate. Quote: The Board of Governors is the part of the Federal Reserve System that is responsible for supervising the private banks. A general description of the types of regulation and supervision involved is given by the Federal Reserve:[11] The Board also plays a major role in the supervision and regulation of the U.S. banking system. It has supervisory responsibilities for state-chartered banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System, bank holding companies (companies that control banks), the foreign activities of member banks, the U.S. activities of foreign banks, and Edge Act and agreement corporations (limited-purpose institutions that engage in a foreign banking business). The Board and, under delegated authority, the Federal Reserve Banks, supervise approximately 900 state member banks and 5,000 bank holding companies. Other federal agencies also serve as the primary federal supervisors of commercial banks; the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency supervises national banks, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation supervises state banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System. Some regulations issued by the Board apply to the entire banking industry, whereas others apply only to member banks, that is, state banks that have chosen to join the Federal Reserve System and national banks, which by law must be members of the System. The Board also issues regulations to carry out major federal laws governing consumer credit protection, such as the Truth in Lending, Equal Credit Opportunity, and Home Mortgage Disclosure Acts. Many of these consumer protection regulations apply to various lenders outside the banking industry as well as to banks. Members of the Board of Governors are in continual contact with other policy makers in government. They frequently testify before congressional committees on the economy, monetary policy, banking supervision and regulation, consumer credit protection, financial markets, and other matters. The Board has regular contact with members of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers and other key economic officials. The Chairman also meets from time to time with the President of the United States and has regular meetings with the Secretary of the Treasury. The Chairman has formal responsibilities in the international arena as well. Quote: Preventing asset bubbles The board of directors of each Federal Reserve Bank District also have regulatory and supervisory responsibilities. For example, a member bank (private bank) is not permitted to give out too many loans to people who cannot pay them back. This is because too many defaults on loans will lead to a bank run. If the board of directors has judged that a member bank is performing or behaving poorly, it will report this to the Board of Governors. This policy is described in United States Code, Title 12, Chapter 3, subchapter 7, section 301:[23] Each Federal reserve bank shall keep itself informed of the general character and amount of the loans and investments of its member banks with a view to ascertaining whether undue use is being made of bank credit for the speculative carrying of or trading in securities, real estate, or commodities, or for any other purpose inconsistent with the maintenance of sound credit conditions; and, in determining whether to grant or refuse advances, rediscounts, or other credit accommodations, the Federal reserve bank shall give consideration to such information. The chairman of the Federal reserve bank shall report to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System any such undue use of bank credit by any member bank, together with his recommendation. Whenever, in the judgment of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, any member bank is making such undue use of bank credit, the Board may, in its discretion, after reasonable notice and an opportunity for a hearing, suspend such bank from the use of the credit facilities of the Federal Reserve System and may terminate such suspension or may renew it from time to time. To me, it looks like the oversight LAWS WERE IN PLACE, and the Federal Reserve Governo If Bush hadn't let gas prices get so out of hand we would all have $300-$500 more to spend each month to stimulate the economy. You guys are blaming Clinton? He left us with a surplus. Bush will leave us with the biggest deficit we've ever seen. Bush spent all our money and robbed us blind at the pump. more

Resolved Question: Why is the Australian Dollar being hammered so much?

Of all western economies, the Australian economy is one of the strongest at the moment. In the last two share trading days, our shares only fell 1.6% each day, while the rest of the world has been in freefall. Our government is in surplus, yet still spending big to keep the economy chugging away. The expected growth over the next year is 2.3%. Thanks to some foresighted regulation, our banks are on solid ground, with the four main ones holding a AA rating (of only 13 banks in the world that retain that rating). Our interest rates are still a healthy 6%, and the government has guaranteed deposits in banks. And yet our currency has lost 40% of its value in the last month. That makes it worse than Iceland, which is on the verge of catastrophe, and only Zimbabwe has been worse off. Admittedly, the Australian dollar was a bit over-valued to begin with, but it now is more undervalued than it was overvalued. So why is it being hit so hard? more

Resolved Question: Question about Forex market in India?

I'm interested in doing forex trading in India, because I think the capital market there is pretty stable and people have good discretionary income. However, my understanding is that RBI strongly regulates the forex market partially because it is afraid of possible currency manipulations by large institutions. And since it is possible to have a very high leverage in this market, people could lose a lot of money without enough prudence, and the government is aware of this, trying to control the forex market to a certain extent. So my question is, how much does the Indian government want to control the forex market, and what kind of rules and regulations regarding the forex trading and the relevant market are put forth by RBI? Are there any available websites or documents pertinent to the foreign exchange market in India I can take a look at? more

Resolved Question: Ron Paul's economic plan, have you seen it or read it?

America became the greatest, most prosperous nation in human history through low taxes, constitutionally limited government, personal freedom and a belief in sound money. We need to return to these principles so our economy can thrive again. When enacted, my plan will provide both short-term stimulus and lay the groundwork for long-term prosperity. Other candidates talk a lot about stimulus packages, but my record stands alone. I have fought for these measures for years as a member of Congress and will make them a top priority as president. Ron Paul, a 10-term Republican Congressman from Texas's 14th District, is currently the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Domestic and International Monetary Policy, Trade, and Technology. He has been named "Taxpayers' Best Friend" for 10 consecutive years by the National Taxpayers' Union. Ron Paul is also the author of several books on monetary policy and economics. The Four-Point Plan Tax Reform: Reduce the tax burden and eliminate taxes that punish investment and savings, including job-killing corporate taxes. Spending Reform: Eliminate wasteful spending. Reduce overseas commitments. Freeze all non-defense, non-entitlement spending at current levels.

Resolved Question: Congress is speeding down the road to ruin with trade protectionism and a raft of untimely tax hikes?

Seventy-seven years ago, members of Congress erected a tariff wall aimed at protecting American business concerns. The result was a stock market crash followed by drastic retaliatory tariffs and a shutdown of the global trading system. The 1932 Revenue Act made matters worse by massively raising marginal tax rates on domestic incomes. These blunders set the stage for the Depression and world war that followed. Current members of Congress appear to have let their history books collect dust: A raft of anti-China currency and tariff legislation is now widely supported by both political parties as the exigencies of political grandstanding subvert the ideals of sound policy. At the same time, Chinese government officials have threatened to dump some of the government’s $1 trillion in U.S. Treasury securities if Congress continues its currency bashing and tariff threats. This fiscal folly couldn’t come at a worse time. Financial markets have been reeling over the last several weeks as hedge funds deleverage from wrong-way bets on mortgage products. It certainly doesn’t help matters that a tone-deaf Congress, led by a bi-partisan coalition of the economically obtuse, is attempting to advance legislation that would raise tax rates on investment companies as part of a “fix” for the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Has anyone in Congress ever stopped to contemplate why London has once again become the financial capital of the world? Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the rest of the world is lowering corporate tax rates and trying to moderate regulations while the U.S. is stuffing Sarbanes-Oxley down the throat of its businesses. If that weren’t bad enough, the 2001-03 tax cuts on incomes and capital are essentially on the chopping block, set to expire in several years time unless Congress and the president act to extend them. The current Congress isn’t disposed to extending the tax cuts, while online futures trading points to a Democrat sweep in 2008. In other words, there’s a high probability that tax rates are going up. Some politicians argue that the current anti-trade sentiment has been driven by wage inequality and poor income growth, “tax cuts for the rich,” and high energy and food prices for the poor. But the data refute this. Personal income has grown at an average pace of 6.2 percent since 2004, despite large swings in reported GDP growth; personal income is up 6.1 percent year-over-year as of June, right in line with the average of the last few years. And thanks to a low unemployment rate and a tight labor market, real non-supervisory wages are growing faster today than they were at this stage of the last cycle (1.6 percent vs. 1.3 percent, year-over-year). In fact, low-end (non-supervisory) real wages have grown at about twice the pace for this cycle compared to the first 23 quarters of the last expansion. A broader measure of real non-financial compensation per hour also shows superior wage growth during this cycle (1 percent per annum average vs. a 0.3 percent per annum average at this stage of the last cycle). So to call this a “wage-less” expansion is utter nonsense, despite the fact real GDP growth has averaged 2.7 percent per annum this cycle versus a superior 3.3 percent average at this stage of the last cycle. Attention protectionist stooges: Since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994, real non-supervisory wages have grown at an average pace of 1.2 percent per annum, triple the 1971-2007 average of 0.4 percent per annum. Inflation-adjusted household net worth has jumped $22.2 trillion since NAFTA was implemented while non-farm payrolls have increased by 24.9 million. Manufacturing output, far from falling, actually stands at a record high, and is up 62 percent since 1994. Undoubtedly some have been left behind by the global economy. But free trade, China, and Wal-Mart for that matter have dramatically increased the standard of living for most people, just as protectionism, a trade war, tax hikes on investment and work, and the absence of Wal-Mart would sink living standards for most people. While the global boom continues on the back of pro-growth policies around the world, Congress is speeding down the road to ruin with trade protectionism and a raft of untimely tax hikes. It’s time to take a detour and think about the hugely anti-growth consequences of turning our backs on the global economy and pro-growth tax policy. more

Resolved Question: What is TILMA and how does it relate to the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) and NAU?

TILMA is the Trade Investment & Labour Mobility Agreement, a trade agreement a la NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), with millions of dollars in penalties for government regulations--even health and environmental--which 'impair' profits of business interests. TILMA was not debated in the legislatures of BC and Alberta; it fits in with the SPP and NAU (North American Union). TILMA is being urged on other provinces and states. The SPP is a non-legislated way of creating the de facto union of Canada, US and Mexico. It puts in place regulations which override our constitutional rights. There is even a currency, the 'amero.' In effect these interlocking, behind-closed-doors agreements diminish our democratic rights in favour of corporate rule over many aspects of our lives. Voting will become less relevant and control of our lives will be--where it can really matter--effectively out of our hands.

Resolved Question: Isn't this GOOD news??? I'm SO GLAD!!?

11 states oppose North American Union Eagle Forum working with legislators to halt globalists' plans -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: March 9, 2007 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com Eleven states are working on resolutions that would oppose not only the implementation but the idea of a "North American Union," or other plans that would lead to the integration of the United States into a larger structure. "Americans are rapidly learning the new vocabulary of the globalists," Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum told WND, "and they don't like it." While President Bush, many members of Congress, and Bush administration bureaucrats deny there are plans for a North American Union, under the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, those in state legislatures are taking no chances. (Story continues below) Already, 11 states have introduced resolutions to oppose the SPP, the NAU, and even the idea of the amero, a proposed currency that could be used to replace the dollar. The resolutions also typically oppose the creation of North American Free Trade Act superhighways along the model of the Trans-Texas Corridor, the car-truck-train-pipeline corridor that is four football-fields wide and is being built parallel to Interstate 35 from Laredo, Texas to the border with Oklahoma, south of Oklahoma City. Schlafly told WND that those lawmakers, and their constituents, are reacting against a wide range of concepts and structures being generated by the increasing pace of the integration of North America they see under the Bush administration. "That's why state legislators are responding with resolutions criticizing a 'North American Community,' SPP, 'harmonization' of regulations, NAFTA superhighways, foreign-owned toll roads, totalization of Social Security, and speculation about the amero," Schlafly explained. "The groundswell is growing against measures that lead to 'economic integration' with other countries."
