Liberals: Want To Know A Conservative Solution To Most Problems?

By Networking Security Posted in: Security Solutions

I often here liberals say that all conservatives do is blame liberals. We I will tell you how we improve the economy.
1. Constitutional amendment that the federal government cannot pass economic regulation of any kind. This would prevent the current system of fascism where big corporations write legislation to shut down small business competition.
2. Follow the constitution. Only gold and silver are legal tender. This would eliminate inflation and prevent the government from excessive guns and butter. Private currencies would be legal of course but the federal government could only use gold and silver.
3. Follow the constitution. No undeclared wars that have nothing to do with US national security
4. Repeal the 16th amendment. With a constitutional size government there would be no need for an income tax and people would begin to have wealth again.
5. End the unconstitutional Federal Reserve which would get rid of the banking oligarchy elements of our economy
6. Respect the 10th amendment. Healthcare, roads, bridges and education are all things that state governments can handle, especially when there is no FED destroying the currency.
This is a very simple plan and could easily turn the economy around in less than a year.

    1. Really? _No_ economic regulation? Great–I’ve got this relative in Nigeria who is willing to give you several million dollars that he’s had to hide in a bank account. All you have to do is give me all your banking information so he can wire the money into your account. Or do you want some economic regulation when it protects _you_?
    2. _Read_ the constitution. It says in Article 1, Section 10 that “No _state_ shall make anything but gold and silver legal tender _for payment of debts_”. IOW, it has no bearing on the Federal Government. “Legal tender for payment of debts” has a specific meaning–and it’s not a synonym for “money I use when I buy a Coke at the 7-11″. It means that it’s something which _must_ be accepted to pay a debt (which a store transaction is not). If someone owes you money, the two of you are more than free to work out your own payment system–but legal tender must be accepted. The purpose was to stop states from issuing their own currency (which was one of the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation).
    BTW, private currencies are legal now–read the Wiki article on “Ithaca Hours” to learn about just one.
    3. OK, but you’re going to have to define “undeclared war”, and then you’re going to run into problems with the President’s authority as CiC. If Canada shoots at one of our destroyers, you don’t want it to take a declaration of war for them to be able to shoot back.
    4. Call me a flaming lib if you want, but I kind of like having a government that makes sure that my food isn’t going to give me botulism, and that the plane I’m flying in isn’t likely to have the wings fall off. It’s a small consolation that “the market will take care of that” if I’m dead before the market catches on. That takes a bigger government than the founders orginally conceived. Although I’ll bet if you could bring them back to life and show them how things have changed in 220 years, they’d envision a larger government now.
    5. Too bad you quoted part of Article 1, Section 8, and then stopped. The last paragraph says that congress has the power “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers”, which is where congress got the authority to authorize the Fed.
    If you’re really going to make the “hyper-literal” argument that the Fed is unconstitutional because it’s not mentioned, then you also have to argue that the US Mint is unconstitutional. It says that _Congress_ has the power to coin money–not employees of the Treasury Department. So under that interpretation, only members of congress can strike coins. If you’re going to insist on a “word for word” argument, then you’ve got to stick with it.
    6. On this I actually agree with you, in general–although I would point out that construction of roads (specifically post roads) is a power granted to Congress in Article 1, Section 8.

    I got as far as:
    “Follow the constitution. Only gold and silver are legal tender. ”
    Then stopped. If you can SHOW me where in the Constitution is says that only gold and silver are legal tender, maybe I’ll listen to you more.

  3. Shadow Says

    Very nice. The first one is a good point – people don’t seem to realize that big corporations love more regulations. It allows them to drive smaller businesses out since corporations have the lawyers and $$ to adjust.

  4. Anonymous Says

    What we need is another big tax cut for the very wealthy.

    Personally, I do not like that you used the term conservative. As far as constitutionality goes there is only “constitutional” or “unconstitutional.” Being a constitutionalist is not limited to conservatives, you can be a (traditional) liberal too just not what I would call a neo-liberal Modern liberalism (neoliberalism) is more reminiscent of a pushy knit-picky quasi nationalized state. Neoliberalism is big government, dependence, anti-gun rights, etc. This is not how the term liberal was originality meant. It simple meant “hands off.” I use the term neo-liberal because it’s not really liberalism, it’s a new redefined version of it. Same with neo-conservatism (which supports pre-emptive wars and the FED which are unconstitutional so they’re not really conservatives either).
    I’d also like to point out that in #1 you DO want some economic regulation or else the economy will turn into a living hell. That is not what constitutionalists believe, we believe in promoting a fair free market system which requires some regulation just not this corporatist hell hole that we have now in which large banksters get bailed out while the little guy gets it up the ***. I’ll use the Sherman-Anti Trust Act for instance. That’s necessary regulation that prevents monopolies, who have the power to crush competition through unjust means, from doing so and forming trusts.
