Join my guest, Arkady Faktorovich, for a second week. This week's show will address the Federal Reserve Bank. (Not part of the government, it has no reserves and it's not a bank, so how does that name work?)
Learn about the history and why it matters that you know.
"And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth." ~ Gen 47:15

Wisconsin's Budget
It has taken me a while to to come to the point where I can post on the passage of WI's budget without including language that I would prefer not to use.
I think those legislators who voted for this monstrosity have lost their focus on the people of WI and are using their positions to advance their own agendas to look good in the eyes of an increasingly politically correct MSM. I think they need to stop worrying about looking "nice" to the outside world and start thinking about their primary duties as legislators of the state of WI. Those duties are to the people of WI. NOT to illegal aliens, not to special interest groups such as trial lawyers or gay rights groups, but to the people of WI.
I'm not saying that those who choose a homosexual lifestyle or trial lawyers or illegal aliens are not people. I must, however point out that the legislators of our state should not be legislating to benefit a tiny portion of the state's population, in the case of those who choose a homosexual lifestyle and trial lawyers, at the expense of the overall population. As for illegal aliens, the duty of our legislators is to prosecute them and to protect the citizens of this state from them -just as it is for every other criminal. I am flabbergasted that not only were such policy items included in the state's budget, but they were allowed to remain. Have we taken leave of our senses? Is it the air in Madison? Or is it simply a departure from what used to be common sense?
As a citizen(for now) of WI, may I say to all of those legislators-I don't have any more money to feed to your politically correct machine. I cannot afford to be nice to any more of the people you think should get my money instead of me. I don't have any more money to give to the state if I want to be able to eat and keep a roof over my head. There are only so many pennies in a dollar and between the state of WI and the folks in D.C. precious few of those pennies belong to me anymore. There can be no more rationalizing that this will only cost each taxpayer 1 cent of every dollar they make. The reality is there are no more pennies. They have all been taken by you and Washington. You were elected to serve my interests. It is not in my interests to make a beggar out of my family or myself in order to benefit criminals and special interest groups. This budget is an affront to common sense and an insult to the people of the state of WI. You should be ashamed of yourselves.
