Yet republicans spend at least twice as much as democrats and most of it goes to the military-industrial complex.
Have you got something to back up that statement? Cause it is looking like personal opinion to me. Did you mean when a Republican is a sitting President or when Republicans control the House and the Senate? How about when the Democrats gained control over both houses? Did we get control over spending when the Democrats got control over both Houses and the Presidency? Did not a Democrat POTUS just get us into a THIRD war and increasing spending on the military? Who was in charge when all the entitlements that spend no matter who is in the WH were set up?
If you respond, please do not resort to Huffpo, DailyKos, or any Soros instrument of media.
Politicians Lie, Numbers Don't
And the numbers show that Democrats are better for the economy than Republicans.

There is no secret about any of this. The figures below are all from the annual
Economic Report of the President, and the analysis is primitive. Nevertheless, what these numbers show almost beyond doubt is that Democrats are better at virtually every economic task that is important to Republicans.

Hey, I wonder whats going on with the idea of the Jesse Ventura-Ron Paul 'ticket' for 2012? I listened to Jesse on Alex Jones show recently (Jesse was in Mexico) and didn't hear any mention of an alternate candidate run. My vote is NOT going for anyone uder Democrat or Republican, but I don't want to sit home and not vote, too.

On the flip side I know a single mother, busting her ass working a factory job trying to make ends meet. She cannot get any help because she is an inch above the magic line. Whenever I can I donate money to her, because she is a great person, and a caring mother. She needs a bit of help, but because she helps herself just enough, no assistance.... Where is the justice in that crap?

Just the fact that you think the Federal Reserve and Homeland Security are good ideas is enough for me to dismiss your thread as a waste of time. The Fed is one of the big reasons the economy is in the shape it's in. Before you continue spouting pro government propaganda, you should wake up to the damage they're doing.

Do you know why the Fed is important ? The Fed was created in response to major financial panics. There were many panics leading up to its creation in 1913.
Do you know what the Fed does ? The Fed controls the monetary policy of the US. It tries to maintain price stability and stable interest rates for the long term ect...
The Fed is not a private bank either, which I see people here have a misconception about. The Fed is an independent, but is still part of the government and has congressional oversight and its Board of governors are chosen by the president and confirmed by the senate.
What this means is that he Fed does not keep any profits it earns or sends it to Bernakes private account hidden in Switzerland either. When the Fed makes a profit it usually turns most of it to the Treasury.

Ok... seriously, give me a straight answer here. Name one positive thing the feds can do that we can not do on a state level.

The states cannot alter the money supply. The states cannot control the interest rates. There, I named two things. Do you want more ?

Why can't they? They can't alter their own money supply or their own interest rates? Why not?

What I do want to say is that out of all the politicians in our country, Ron Paul, is the only one I would feel somewhat comfortable with him in the White House. Though I am afraid we will never see that happen, as there are those at the top who wish not to see Ron Paul get the things done that he wants to do.

States do not have the ability to alter money made by the federal government. States simply do not have that ability to do anything that the Fed can do.
The states do not make money the federal govt does.

Its not just "those at the top" that want him to fail it should be everyone able to understand what Paul would to to this great country and that we should be afraid of.
