The reason why America is called “The Land of Opportunity” is because its people can climb up the socio-economic ladder through hard work and dedication. However, too often when U.S. citizens fall on hard times, they turn to the government for financial assistance.  The history of welfare in the United States reveals the compassion and goodwill of the American people, [...]

It is good that we are finally having the kind of discussions that the American people need.  The Paul Ryan Vice President pick has brought the medicare issue to the forefront  of the debate.  This is critical,  becaue according to the program’s trustees, the hospital insurance trust fund will be “exhausted in 2024,” five years [...]

Almost every week there’s a story in the news about a huge hurricane, earthquake, fire, or flood.  While there’s no way to tell ahead of time when a disaster will strike or how bad it will be, we can still prepare.  One of the best things we can do now to help protect ourselves and [...]

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a sprawling economic report, and it underscored how dire our looming economic forecast looks. If we can somehow avoid falling off the fiscal cliff and deflect Taxmageddon, thereby averting a wave of scheduled tax hikes as the “Bush Tax Rates” expire, we can hopefully stay stagnated as we are [...]

It’s an important week with Congressman Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill, H.R. 459, being voted on this Tuesday, July 24, in the U.S. House of Representatives.  This is an exciting move because the bill is being introduced under a “suspension of the rules.”  What this means is supporters must have a two-thirds majority to allow passage.  The [...]

The Bug-Out philosophy is a simple one of freedom and preparedness.  This mentality is connected to all of us, as it was pivotal among our founder’s early ideals – the concept of personal independence, the mystique of the frontier, and the sense of self-reliance.  In essence, Buggers truly harness the American Spirit.  In fact, even the [...]

Speaking at a Ohio campaign event last week, President Obama told supporters that this months worse-than-expected jobs report marks a “step in the right direction.”  HUH?  The numbers do not lie, and the facts are the economy is NOT in a recovery and the Obama economic strategy with its trillion-dollar stimulus bill did not and is not working [...]

The whole thing should have been revealed as a scam right from the start when Paul Warburg was appointed to the first Federal Reserve Board.  We were supposed to believe that he gave up $500,000/year for a mere $12,000.  Maybe worse is that the first Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank during the crucial [...]
