Obama has more or less dictated to America that there will be health care reform whether we like it or not. Well, those of us paying attention don’t like it one bit. Most of us agree that something must be done to make health care more affordable and thereby make it available to the huddled masses, the un-huddled rich 1%, and the semi-huddled in between. There could not be further disagreement about how we accomplish it.
Most on the Left argue from emotion:
“It doesn’t matter if it’s not Constitutional, people who are sick need help.”
Those on the Right attempt logic:
“Passing health care reform as the Democrats wish will only bankrupt America more than it already is.”
The Bill of Rights numerates our natural rights as human beings. It does not grant us rights. The last time I read the Bill of Rights I did not see any mention of health care as a natural right. In fact, access to health care is no more a right than access to food. That may be cold, but it is the truth.
Today the necessary forms to officially declare candidacy and candidate organization have been sent to the Federal Election Committee (FEC) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as Jake Towne continues on his bid to run for Congress in 2010 in the 15th congressional district.
As the current Congress continues to socialize major businesses and infringe upon personal liberties, the people of the 15th congressional district in the Lehigh Valley will have a choice on the 2010 ballot for LIBERTY instead of the continued oppression on economic and personal freedoms by Democrats and Republicans alike.
The campaign is centered on preserving personal liberties and returning to the rule of law as specified in the Constitution of the United States. I believe prosperity for our society can best be obtained by defending freedom and promoting peace, and the policies and path the current government is following will take our great country to economic and moral ruin.
Ron Paul questioned Federal Reserve Governor Elizabeth Duke regarding transparency and an audit of the Federal Reserve. He asks directly how the information revealed with an audit could be harmful to the consumer. Naturally, Duke attempts to toe the standard line that the audit would “interfere” with monetary policy.
Ron Paul interrupts and corrects her saying that the audit has no intention of interfering with monetary policy, it would just reveal what they are doing.
His second round of questioning is also included in the clip below. He uses this time to attack the Fed as an institution that is actually harmful to the consumer.
Paul then has another chance to ask questions, this time to Jim Carr of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC). Carr takes Paul’s question and runs down a predictable path with it. Paul also gets in a last question about support for a Fed audit.
