In what can only be described as a brazen attempt to ride Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachman’s coat tails into the Fox News limelight, Tennessee Congressmen Marsha Blackburn and Zach Wamp have signed on to Bachman’s proposed Constitutional amendment that would prevent the Obama administration from replacing the dollar with global funny money:
“The President may not enter into a treaty or other international agreement that would provide for the United States to adopt as legal tender in the United States a currency issued by an entity other than the United States.”
Of course, there is absolutely no such proposal on the table, but that apparently won’t stop Bachman, Blackburn, Wamp, and 27 of their colleagues from getting ready for their closeup on “The Glenn Beck Program” instead of focusing on real problems that need real solutions.
Thanks for letting us know, Mickey.
Love the letter writing listeners! Go Meryl!
Economic Stimulus. H.R. 5140, the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, passed 385-35 on January 29, 2008 (Roll Call 25). It would provide about $150 billion in economic stimulus, including $101.1 billion in direct payments of rebate checks (typically $600) to most taxpayers in 2008 and temporary tax breaks for businesses. Creating money out of thin air and then spending the newly created money cannot improve the economy, at least not in the long term. (If it could, why not create even more money for rebates and make every American a millionaire?) The stimulus has no offset and thus increases the federal deficit by the amount of the stimulus because the government must borrow the rebate money. A realistic long-term stimulus can only be achieved by lowering taxes through less government and by reducing regulatory burdens.Marsha Blackburn voted FOR this bill.(Source: The New American – July 21, 2008)
