The Federal Reserve in December proposed new restrictions on debit card transactions that cap swipe fees at 7 – 12 cents. This represents an almost 84% cut in the current average. At the time of the announcement stocks in the major debit card processors Visa and MasterCard plummeted. Shocker, who would think that the Government meddling would cause problems in the market. This is an attempt by the Federal Reserve to impose price caps in our “free market” system. In a Capitalist and free market system competition and the consumer set prices on services and commodities not an over reaching Federal Government. Price caps, subsidies, excessive taxes, tariffs or any other form of Government price setting or regulations always causes havoc in a free market. The market and economy needs to be left alone and to itself. The less government regulates and meddles the more prosperous an economy. It’s simple.

The US Treasury Dept. has issued a new Federal Reserve note to commemorate the historic nature of our 44th President. Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner said in comments on Wednesday that the new note incorporates all the latest anti-forgery technology and should be available to the public by the first of the year. IOL has received a sneak peek of the new note from an anonymous source inside the US Treasury.

Obama’s approval rating has dropped to a new all time low. Now only 39% approve of his job. A whopping 60% now disapprove of his job, up from 51% disapproval Sept. 20. Obama has even fallen into a statistical tie with none other than Sarah Palin. How embarrassing that is because other polls have shown a majority of Americans believe she is unqualified for the presidency. So it appears many have now decided, on second thought, Obama looks that way too.

Over the last six to eight years I have constantly heard the question from media commentators, friends and family saying, “What has happened to the Democrat Party?” The Democrat party over the last ten or so years have become increasingly left-wing. The Democrat Party of JFK has become mere shadow of it’s former self. The question though is, “Why?” We asked the same “Why?” question when the Obama Regime started printing massive amounts of money and inserting it into a stagnant economy virtually guaranteeing hyper-inflation and a devaluing of the dollar. The question became, are they just ignorant or are their policies will full acts of destruction? For most Conservatives the answer was it doesn’t matter because either way they are destroying the economy. I say the answer does matter because if ignorance is behind the destruction then we need to address the problem by educating people on basic economics but if the actions are will full then we need to find out why they are destroying the economy. I myself concur that their acts are will full but we need to find out why. The question now for us is how do we address these two problems, an ultra left-wing Democrat Party and the will full destruction of the American economy. Do we address these directly as the cause and the disease itself or are these just symptoms of a deeper and greater problem. With some of the reading I have been doing lately and with Glenn Beck’s latest exposé of George Soros, I am beginning to believe that George Soros and his cronies taking over the Democrat Party and driving it to the far left and George Soros and his ilk encouraging the Democrat Party to intentionally devalue the American dollar are the symptoms and George Soros and others like him that want a New World Order without borders and where social programs run rampant are the disease and the cause. Attacking and addressing the symptoms is no different than taking Aspirin for a head ache caused by a giant brain tumor. We as Conservatives and patriots need to band together and address the cause not the effect and the disease not the symptoms.
