Adam Kokesh is a United States Marine. He has served diligently in his post and has returned to defend the US Constitution from enemies both foreign and especially DOMESTIC. He has a tremendous amount of courage to stand up for what is right according to the US Constitution and isn’t afraid to defend it – even it means he doesn’t get all the fat cat benefits.
In fact he has stated, if elected, he will NOT take the $170,000/year salary congressman make. He will just take the national average. I would be plenty happy to have him take the whole salary and simply stand up for what is right but he wants to prove a point and make a bold statement.
If you are from New Mexico or have family/friends there – please point them to Adam’s websites to learn more about him and his exemplary defense of our freedoms, personal liberties, private property and our US Constitution.
I just sent you (Jason Chaffetz) an email in the hopes that you read it and change your ways. It may seem insignificant – the 422 to 1 vote in congress recently but to me it shows that 99.97% of Congress doesn’t take their oath of office seriously. And maybe they don’t understand it at all.

congress and the whitehouse have gone mad with our money
What changed again? Congress still passes bills without reading them. Pork is stuffed into every one that goes through congress. The president still has no idea that he does NOT run the economy/country.
So this post is an awful lot like a recent post of mine but it’s great to reinforce the idea since those buggers in Congress seem so cavalier about spending Trillions of our dollars.
I need to give credit for this awesome sketchup done by the folks over at PageTutor.com (I just saved all the images they created and the exact web page content as it was on their site so I could preserve it for future generations).
So let’s get on with the show and start with 100 Million Dollars… (click picture for link to full pictorial of 1 Trillion dollars).
If good old Milton were still around he’d be helping many folks around the world understand the plight we’re in, is in fact due in large part to government interference in the markets.
Have you ever wondered what $787 Billion Dollars looked like? Click here to see what $315 Billion US dollars looks like. Double that and add some to make it $787 Billion.
Now for a moment consider 10.2 Trillion US Dollars and how much that is. In about 20 years our US National Debt is projected to grow to around 50-100 Trillion US Dollars. Is that when the dollar collapses? What happens when nobody else on the planet wants to subsidize US National Debt? At this rate, there will come a time when it all comes crashing down. Is congress going to stop this madness? Is the president? Will we the people stop it?
Here’s a grand ol’ video programming Americans to think that Inflation will save them. Here let us devalue your money, rob you of your savings and force you into spending more than you should have to…
Here are some great comments spawned by the video:

“The only theory that talks about “natural” bubbles is Keynesianism – In a free market there are no natural bubbles…”
How many times does it have to be proven that imperfect information and high feed-back amplification leads to bubbles?

I agree 100% – and by far the biggest source of imperfect information and the feedback amplification of moral hazard comes from government. In free markets, there will be misallocations of resources and capital, but they will be localized and short-lived, as people all over the system react to information of varying quality. The way massive bubbles are created is from a persistent, centralized, coercive source of bad information and moral hazard – i.e. government policy and central banks.
“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”
“If one rejects laissez faire on account of man’s fallibility and moral weakness, one must for the same reasons also reject every kind of government action.”
