There is a charade playing out in Washington at the moment in respect of the completely meaningless "debt ceiling" which the US maintains as a relic from the days of the gold standard.

We are told that at the US Treasury's account at the Federal Reserve Bank there will soon be no more taxpayers' dollars, and therefore the Fed will soon be unable to make any more payments or issue any more cheques on behalf of the Treasury. The money has run out.

This is nonsense. It is a myth, and moreover it is a myth that Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke exploded in his recent testimony to a US congressional committee.

The federal reserve is unconstitutional. Close it down, put the perps on trial and execute them for fleecing us. I'm saying they should be executed for treason.

Dammit where is Andrew Jackson when we need him.

Perhaps you are getting the Articles of Confederation confused with the US Constitution?

The Federal Reserve is Unconstitutional.

As is the 16th Amendment authorizing Income Tax.

W/o which the FedRes is toothless.

As is the 16th Amendment authorizing Income Tax.

Direct taxes must be Constitutionally apportioned to your State by the proportion of your State's representation (Art.1, Sect.2, Clause3 & Art1, Sect.9, Clause4). -- And, NO. The 16th amendment did not change this, the 16th amendment did not alter, add or remove any words from the original constitution, and the US Supreme Court confirmed in Stanton v. Baltic Mining Co. 240 US 103 (1915) that "… the 16th amendment conferred no new powers of taxation"

Boehner Humiliated.

Mask Ripped.

Capitalism morphs to Kleptocracy. Then Plutarchy.

Empire or Democracy.

You chose Empire. Too bad.

Game Over.

True up to this point.

You chose Empire.

NOT.

I fall into the "Libertarian" view of things... kinda' like the "Dead White Guys" who wrote our constitution, and philosophers like John Locke...

I don't fall into the typical "L vs. R" false dichotomy.

"The mainstream media acts as if not raising the debt ceiling by next Tuesday will result in America defaulting. This is a crock. America chose to proceed on a path to default decades ago. We are just finally reaching our destination. Below are the choices we made as a people and a country to default on our obligations and eventually destroy our country:"

Which is why we were so upset with Reagan.

His Election and then Poppy coming in 3 months later after Reagan shot is the moment the USSA defaulted.

Choosing Empire. Disenfranchising the Middle Class."

" *

As you can see, next Tuesday means nothing. The debt ceiling means nothing."

We defaulted 30 years ago. The Ponzi's over now.
