Government Waste: Unwanted Coins Costing Taxpayers' Money

This is one example of waste that can be cut from the budget.  In 2005 Congress ordered the Mint to make Presidential dollar coins and they've been made ever since. While most of these coins are sitting on shelves these coins just keep coming and coming so much so that a new building is being built in order to house all these coins.  This is utterly absurd folks. This is government waste at its worst.

Ron Paul Confronts Ben Bernanke: Is Gold Money?

I Found this on WhatisGold.net: 

Gold is Money

Gold has always been accepted around the world as a means of exchange and a store of value - the mark of good money. Gold is money because it is uniquely suited for being our money, not because it's shiny and fancy looking, but because it is actually the most practical choice. What makes Gold the good money? Gold is money because gold is durable. Other choices from the past like wheat, hemp, fish, cows, or even people, cannot endure the test of time - only gold can. Gold is money because Gold is divisible and consistent. Pure gold is worth exactly the same amount per unit regardless of how it is divided; it is all just gold. Making change for a cow is far too messy, cumbersome and subjective. If you take a pretty, shiny, 1 ounce coin and chop it in half with a hatchet, you have two half ounce pieces of gold. Melt it down and pour it into 10 1/10 ounces and all 10 pieces together will equal the value of the original one ounce gold piece. Gold is money because gold is portable. One ounce of gold has almost always had the same 'purchasing power' throughout history.

It is said that in Rome, one ounce of gold would buy a nice toga, a belt and a pair of shoes. Today, an ounce of gold is worth about $1400 so this is relatively accurate. One ounce of gold won't buy you the best suit on the market, but that tiny little one ounce coin packs a purchasing power punch; $1400 in the palm of your hand. A hand bag filled with gold coins, about the same weight as Paris Hilton's dog (say three pounds), would be worth around $70000! Gold is well-suited for travelling or moving abroad because people around the world accept it. And, lastly and perhaps most misunderstood, gold is money because it has intrinsic value, it is extra ordinarily useful in ways that nothing else on earth or the known universe is useful.

Gold, in the form of gold nanoparticles, is used in extremely high technology like space travel and cutting edge cancer treatments. Gold is both the most ductile (one ounce can be pulled into an extremely thin wire 35 miles long!) and most malleable (can be pounded into an extremely thin wafer, so thin that light passes through it - 1 5/1000000 of an inch thin!) element in the known universe. Gold is the second best conductor of heat and electricity next to silver. Paired with gold's rarity, gold's amazing properties make it extremely valuable as money and to the progress of science and technology and ultimately mankind. For now, you can easily make an Investment in Gold, Trade Gold Online, and Save your Wealth in Gold. Just hurry and buy gold now because, as the prices rise, it won't always be this easy! Gold is money, gold is the world’s true money.


"The great merit of gold is precisely that it is scarce; that its quantity is limited by nature; that it is costly to discover, to mine, and to process; and that it cannot be created by political fiat or caprice." ~ Henry Hazlitt

Obamacare - You Support We Reward

Remember when Nancy Pelosi said "we have to to pass the bill in order to find out what's in the bill"?
Within those 2000 pages consists of a number of goodies rewarding subsidiaries (such as unions with $2 billion) which own the Democrats.  The House Energy and Commerce Committee has discovered that the health care law has allowed the government to pay out $2 billion to unions, state public employee systems, and big corporations to subsidize health care costs for early retirees.  O where O where has the money gone?  Let's take a look at exactly which pockets the Liberals have lined with Obamacare money.

From The Washington Examiner:


"According to the new report, the biggest single recipient of an early-retiree bailout is the United Auto Workers, which has so far received $206,798,086.  Other big recipients include AT&T, which received $140,022,949, and Verizon, which received $91,702,538.  General Electric, in the news recently for not paying any U.S. taxes last year, received $36,607,818.  General Motors, recipient of a massive government bailout, received $19,002,669.


"The program also paid large sums of money to state governments.  The Public Employees Retirement System of Ohio received $70,557,764; the Teacher Retirement System of Texas received $68,074,118; the California Public Employees Retirement System, or CalPERS, received $57,834,267; the Georgia Department of Community Health received $57,936,127; and the state of New York received $47,869,044.  Other states received lesser but still substantial sums.


"But payments to individual states were dwarfed by the payout to the auto workers union, which received more than the states of New York, California, and Texas combined.  Other unions also received government funds, including the United Food and Commercial Workers, the United Mine Workers, and the Teamsters."


Hold on a minute....  I thought that the purpose of this law was that it would lower health care costs, and not to simply dole out money to only those who supported the bill, which is now law.  And these Leftist "spread the wealthers"  -  who are so generous with NOT their own money but thieving other peoples' money - really expected us to believe their load of malarcky when they claimed that this law was non-partisan and would benefit all the people.   Do I see pigs flying?    It certainly seems like this law is only targeted at helping certain groups in our society (anyone who supported the passage of Obamacare) and not the whole of society, and sure as heck not the common good.  Oh... That claim was the Democrats using smoke and mirrors, by any means necessary, telling distortions and lies just to get the bill passed. These Democrats are throwing the taxpayers' money down the toilet.  I thought this POS law was supposed to be about health care.  No, it's all about paying off the Leftist ideological extremists who backed this government piece of garbage which is filled with mountains of red tape.  This was all about power and control.  The Democrats couldn't give a rats a$$ about health care.  Think about it, these sadistic immoral twisted loons think killing an unborn child is health care. They think funding Planned Parenthood is considered essential to running our government.  These libtards whine about values supposedly being thrust upon them when the fact is they shove their evil immorality down our throats when they force Americans to fund the murder of innocents.  Do these people have a consience?  These people live on their selfish egos and are ghouls who prey upon the weak and most vulnerable in our society.  They make the claim that Republicans and conservatives are all about money when in fact they choose that the weak and vulnerable in our society are not worthy of living because of the money it would cost to take care of them.  Congress needs to stop throwing the taxpayers' money down the toilet.  How would these Green weenies and red rhinos like it if the taxpayers said enough is enough and there was a tax revolt?
