("The life of a repo man is always intense")

The FDIC will now start funding the purchase of those oh-so-cute "troubled assets"! http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/business/07sorkin.html?_r=2&ref=business

WOW! So Much for Freedom of Speech! FTC to Impose New Online Regs for "Endorsements"

Incredible. So if you happen to express your opinions without overtly and repeatedly telling people they are your personal opinions and are not backed up by studies, you'll be fined by the FTC.

Advertisers will be prohibited from working through personal network systems, making their growth less rapid, and making new devlopments less frequent. Twitter is ready to expand, thanks to upcoming advertising capital. Will that happen now? The uncertainty that government creates is truly disastrous.

This kind of policy will expand, as well.

FDA Outlaws Narcotic Painkillers THAT HAVE BEEN ON MARKET FOR DECADES

The unconstitutional agency called the Food and Drug Administration has ordered a slew of prescription painkillers off the market. Even though doctors have been prescribing the drugs for decades, and patients haven't been having trouble, the FDA says the drugs didn't go through the proper hoops to be approved.

Here is the story:

Program to Grant Scant Number of Pilots "Power" to Carry Guns Being Defunded!

So, let's see if we can get this straight. People have the fundamental right to keep and bear arms. Congress is prohibited from infringing on that right. The airways are regulated by the feds. The feds then regulate away said right to keep and bear arms, then, by their WONDERFUL grace, allow a FEW pilots who ask nicely to be able to "take training classes" to be ALLOWED by the government to keep and bear arms. NOW, the program is being defunded.

Incredible how far the US government has gone towards becoming a fascist nation.

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann Introduces Amendment to Stop Replacement of Dollar

It doesn't really matter who debases the currency. Whether it's the US government, a government granted monopoly called the Federal Reserve, or some multi-national quasi-government. The point is, currency needs to be taken out of political hands, and put back in the hands of the market.

Possibly 20% of Iraqi "Relief" Money taken from US Taxpayers Has Been "Wasted" , Says Auditor

Or, since this was an act of aggression that had no tie to the defense of the US, was never a declared war, and is an act of government, therefore initiated and conducted through the immoral seizure of property, one might say that 100% was wasted.

Obama Justice Department to Hound Wal Mart through Anti-Constitutional "Scrimination" Laws

Nothing like mis-reading the 14th Amendment, nothing like warping the interstate commerce clause in Article One.

As Predicted, New Agency Proposed, One That Will SEIZE Private Firms -- Brown Shirts Optional

The Treasury Secretary will be given power to TAKE OVER "troubled" banks (remember, American citizens canot mention which ones are troubled, or they risk investigation and possible arrest through powers recently granted to the FEC). All he will need is a nod from the President and the tumbs-up from the Fed Chief.

And here is the lovely story of how the federal government is going to "get back" the money given to AIG and then paid to execs for bonuses that the feds ALREADY knew had to be paid!

A 90% tax.
