Ron Paul Revolution circa 1969

You say you love the constitution
Well, you know
Building a moon colony means it’s dead
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
First learn what the constitution said
And if you go carrying pictures of Rick Sanitarium
You ain't going to make it with anyone not suffering from delirium

Don't you know it's gonna be all right,

If you vote for Paul,

All right, if you vote for Paul,

Ah, ah, ah, ah…

Speaker Moonbeam Advocates Lunar-Based Stimulus

When I heard Newt Gingrich say that he aims to build an American colony on the moon, I was not surprised.  The Republicans have a habit of aiming to prove that they can spend as much as Democrats.  It was the Republicans, not the Democrats, who invented big government Progressivism. A project of the size that Gingrich proposes would cost in the trillions.  According to The Washington Post, a moon colony project was scuppered in 1989 when the $700 billion price tag (in current dollars) was released. Building a colony on the moon is not the way to explore space. Drones can do so at a fraction of the cost and can go much further.  What possible scientific gain would come from planting thousands of people on the moon?

Not surprisingly, The Washington Post is supportive of Speaker Gingrich's lunatic proposal. He is going Obama one better in ignoring the Constitution of the United States, emphasizing public at the expense of private spending, and using failed Keynesian stimulus ideas to buy votes.

Marxist Gives Good Analysis of American Economy

H/t Jon Nadler of Kitco. Professor Wolff is a Marxist who gets most of what has been going on in the US economy right. He does not seem to understand the role of the Fed, monetary policy, and the banking system in creating the problems he describes. Otherwise, he hits quite a few nails on their heads.

Tea Party, RIP
