  Get rid of the war, trim the military -- we don't need bases through out the world unless those countries are paying for us --, Go back to 1954 style tax system, bring back the jobs, etc.

    I do not disagree with the article or the above comment, BUT it would only be a bandaid. First of all, our debt is not only to foreign countries, but it is a debt to the Federal Reserve. The sad irony in the plannign of our system in the US is that the Federal Reserve is neither federal nor a reserve. It is a private institution. As Americans, we own very littleof our money. Next time you get a pay check, the real truth is that you do not even own the money you just earned in that check. It belongs to the Federal Reserve.

      A Federal Reserve Note is not money, it's an IOU, Federal Reserve Notes are fiat currency. If you bought it with a Federal Reserve note, they own it. The people behind the Federal Reserve is the reason for everything going wrong in this country, and I mean everything! By the way, there has never been a Chairman of the Federal Reserve that hasn,t been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) .

        There you go again...throwing in a dose of reality. Quite frankly, Ron Paul is the only candidate who wants to crush the Federal Reserve.

        He is the only fiscally responsible candidate, as well. He may have ended his campaign, but he is still very much in the race.

        this is an excellent video on the NAU and the CFR: (9 minutes)

        Incidentally, Both Obama and McCain are members of the CFR!

          $175,000 per citizen you say?

          No problem, just charge it!

          And, hey, I still have checks left!

          Obviously we need to send more money to Iraq and all other Middle East and African nations so they will love us more.

          Time will tell just how bad of a choice this country has made in this election, No matter which of the two candidates are elected, nothing major will change. Ron Paul is the only candidate that raises the extremely important issues were facing, and by 2012, people will look back and wish they had voted for Ron Paul.

            In 2012 people will wish that the few good ideas Ron Paul had were not buried by all the stupid ideas he had. He has lack of credibility by anyone other than a few bloggers who who repeat the same mantra over and over. He's unelectable, so get over it. Even total idiots like Dennis Kucinich had a good idea once in a rare while.

        The national debt is not a debt to the Federal Reserve. The Federal reserve gets involved only when it exchanges newly printed money for Treasury notres, thereby lowering interest rates and, as an important by-product, devaluating the dollar.

        Bush's economics are unique in that he has managed to BOTH incurr a MASSIVE increase in National Debt (e.g. treasury notes issued) AND caused a MASSIVE (>1/3) devaluation of the currency.

        Bush economics:

        --Borrow from Future generations

        --Devalue the currency

        --Give large tax breaks to the ultra-rich

        --SPEND SPEND SPEND

        In comparison, the Democratic policy of tax and spend is quite rational

          The national debt, is the amount of money owed by the United States federal government to creditors (bankers) who hold US debt instruments. The Bankers obviously understood the only thing, I repeat, the only thing that is a threat to their power is sovereign governments printing Interest free and debt free paper money.

            Years later, reflecting on the major banks' control in Washington, President Franklin Roosevelt paid this indirect praise to his distant predecessor President Andrew Jackson, who had "killed" the 2nd Bank of the US (an earlier type of the Federal Reserve System). After Jackson's administration the bankers' influence was gradually restored and increased, culminating in the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Roosevelt knew this history.

            The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson...

            -Franklin D. Roosevelt

    They have not only robbed the Treasury, but they have devaluated the currency which has literally robbed you of about 1/3 of your savings and pension.

  Everyone who supported the bogus Iraq War should either contribute money (200,000$) or a soldier from their own family, and that includes the elite, the rich, and the government employees.

  All of my friends with large cash savings already put half into gold years ago and have been predicting this scenario for a while. They now say it will get worse, way worse before it gets better.

  I am just glad not to be one of the millions of Americans facing foreclosure. I have lost everything twice and it is not a good time in life, but it happens.
