First back in Nixon's time, we were on the Bretton Woods System where all currencies were tied to the US dollar. Nixon took us off the the BWS since other countries complained that the US wasn't living up to it's agreement.
Nixon also took us off the gold standard. This opened the door for inflation. The USD began to devaluate and continues to devaluate. So when the price of goods became higher due to this devaluation, people were no longer able to keep up with the cost of living.
So in order to keep the economy going the banks began to loosen up the credit.
So people who couldn't obtain a credit card could do so now. Then came the bankruptcies.People who couldn't pay their debt declared bankruptcy.
But then came the new law that you had to pay your debt regardless.
Then the Republican party came up with the idea which was implemented by Clinton called the Free Trade Agreement.
This would bring in cheap imports to compliment the weak dollar. Once this happened along with over regulation and over demanding Unions, it opened the door for our companies to flee to other countries.
Clinton tried to cover up for this by opening the door for banks to give credit for new home buyers even if they didn't qualify. This way there would be plenty of new construction of new homes. And that's how the housing bubble got started and wrecked are economy.
I remember when we had a thriving industry.
I remember when I looked up in the sky here in New York City, it was filled with smog and I couldn't see the stars.I remember when it only took me one day to find a job.
I remember when US citizens were working the jobs that Illegal Aliens now work for cheaper pay.
I remember when this was the land of opportunity.
Now it's all up to you folks. Are you ready to reverse all these things that has happened?Going back on the gold standard, putting Tariffs back on imports and giving companies a fair shake if they come and reopen here.
Are we going to stick together and have the laws enforced on illegal immigrants and have the troops come home to secure our own border?
Do you really want to bring the America that we knew back?
Do you still want to give away billions of our tax dollars in foreign aid that can be helping us to get out of this mess?
Are you ready to fight against the corruption that exists in our government?
Because if not get ready for the same that's happening in Chicago.
Because if not we will be a nation that's no better then Mexico.
Because if not the people of this country will have no future.
Because if we don't restore the Constitution, it's all over.
Do we have the same kind of stuff as the people who built this nation? We'll see.
Some people threw stones at them and weren't satisfied with what we had.
I say to them, what have you done that serves us now? Where is your miracle? Is living in insecurity, instability your idea of a wholesome life?
And I say to you, let us join hands as one voice. Because I tell you that the numbers of discontentment that have came to us speak for themselves through out the country.
It's the voice of freedom and how sweet it is. Will you stand with us in the glory that's just on the other side?
Do you still have some of that American spirit in you? Join us at http://www.campaignforliberty.com/

UN climate talks conclude
This is from an email from Lord Christopher Monckton
I'm at the final day of the UN climate talks in Bonn, gracing what the BBC just described as “the most colourful display in NGO alley.” We gave the rather po-faced delegates a good laugh when CFACT's Christina Wilson sold “carbon indulgences” to all assembled, dressed as Mother Earth, and pardoned us all for our “climate sins.” Our “carbon indulgences”, on parchment scrolls rolled up and tied with ribbon (Christina was up all night doing that), told delegates that they were “hereby forgiven for flying when you choose; machine-washed clothes; driving your vehicle; using your computer; taking hot showers; exhaling CO2; making things in factories; growing food with tractors; eating meat; watching TV; refrigerating your food; using Edison's light-bulbs; turning on the AC or heating or both; and, above all, attending international conferences.” The scroll made it plain that “This indulgence will not meaningfully alter the weather or climate. It is therefore the most honest carbon trading strategy you can find.” The High Representative of Guatemala, a Catholic, said the indulgences were a great idea. They reminded him of his youth, when anyone who ate meat instead of fish on a Friday had to pay a fine into the Church poor-box. The conference has failed advance the global warming treaty. Delegates have, however, resolved to increase the frequency and intensity of the talks hoping to lock us into the treaty in Mexico this fall. I'm astonished at how much more open and willing to discuss matters the delegates have grown. When we first arrived we worked hard to seek out the delegates. The entire affair is much easier now that they are approaching us. Something even more astonishing is that UN staff has decided to handle us with kid gloves. At a briefing yesterday for nongovernmental organizations, two dour campaigners from the “Women and Gender Constiuency” complained about our presence to Executive Secretary Yvo de Boer. De Boer replied that it would be wrong for the UN to discriminate in allocating space based on viewpoint. This is a radical shift from the tone we heard just a few months ago. The reason for this seems clear. The UN climate agency has lost so much credibility in recent months that it is going to great lengths to appear even handed. We have made our presence felt: that's for sure. The proposed world-government treaty will be a disaster for the freedom and prosperity we all take too much for granted. We must not let up a moment. We must counter every false climate assertion with cold hard fact. We are well on our way to winning the hearts and minds of the people. We must undertake the more difficult task of ending the climate binge our political class has enjoyed for so long. Enough is enough.
