“Apart from Ron Paul, other libertarian thinkers, and the Austrians, no one is voicing concerns about the Constitutionality of Obama’s actions and the toll such planning takes on individual liberty.”

Liberty is very intangible compared to a government handout and/or one’s portfolio and home equity.

Just silly 18th century white males.

The root of our problems is government backed fractional reserve banking which has led to world wars and misguided socialism in an attempt to heal its destructiveness. The problem IS really the bankers backed by legal tender laws which force us to use a single currency. And now a rhyme:

Banksters

To counterfeit,
what a silly thing to do!
It’s a crime;
you could do time.
No, become a banker
if you hanker
to make money out of blue.
You’ll be respected
(not rejected)
by the people that you screw.
It’s theft the same
but you won’t be blamed
by those with whom you do.
(And you’ll do no time for your crime sublime.)
But at the end, can your money bend
the rules that condemn you?

Rothbard's The Great Depression is a gem. What I particularly like about it is that it dispels the myth that Hoover was laissez-faire. Rothbard delineates all the various programs that Hoover implemented. I'm finishing up a work by J. T. Flynn that also addresses the takeover of the economy by those who touted "Social Planning" under FDR. Flynn discusses the assault on the Constitution that had to occur for those in power to get their hands on the economic means of production. They used the "general welfare" and "interstate commerce" clauses to do their work. Add to that the Sixteenth Amendment that had been passed earlier,we have central planning off and running. Obama and his czars have merely taken a page from that social planning book and have multiplied it several times over. The title of Flynn's work is The Decline of the American Republic. Apart from Ron Paul, other libertarian thinkers, and the Austrians, no one is voicing concerns about the Constitutionality of Obama's actions and the toll such planning takes on individual liberty.

The egomaniac power grabbers have been working to destroy our economic system for a long while.

Will greed save it ?
