I don't think I could say NO more emphatically! The government was created to serve the people, yet somehow it seems as though the people are servants to the government. We as people have been granted the gift of life to live it how ever we please to. Of course we cannot do things that are injurious to others and expect to not suffer the repercussions, but no one has the right to tell any human being how to live. Our liberties are being taken little by little whether we like it or not. Lets take taxes for instance, our government is in a trade deficit with China in excess of $165 billion dollars, and China holds an excess of $230 billion in U.S. bonds.

How is the government such bad stewards of our economy, yet they will take the bed from beneath you over a $100 dollars. The latest plan is to give American tax payers rebate checks that are intended to help stimulate the economy. My question is, where are they borrowing the money from? And what about the middle class wage earner that still owes taxes? Will they deduct his back taxes from his rebate? He will probably be over looked. The fed will probably get the money from Peter, give it to certain ones and then tax us all over again so that we can pay that debt back. The Washington regulators have placed our livelihood under the mercy of central banks. We will wake up one day totally enslaved to the government, after all is not debt a form of enslavement. You can pay a debt with money or with blood, sweat and tears. Why would our government borrow money from the central bank of China in the first place. We have our own central bank (unfortunately) which is the Federal Reserve Board. They control the issue and value of our currency. So what is the real issue behind this deficit? Why should a sovereign nation have to borrow money from another? It does not add up. We know that the dollar is a credit note for all intents and purposes so if there is a need for more than the Federal Reserve Board should be able to put more into circulation. But the truth is we are in debt to the Federal Reserve Board maybe our government has been borrowing from Peter to pay the Federal Reserve Board. Or maybe it is an attempt to tie up multiple economies until they all collapse into a global monetary system with a world bank at its helm. If we don't want the government telling us how to live our lives, we better do something fast, or soon they will be running our lives.
