The insanity continues.

As the nation's economic meltdown continues, let's take stock (pun intended). The bailout, buy in or lending to the likes of Bear Stearns, Indy Mac Bank, both Fannie and Freddie, AIG and various foreign banks, along with the $700 billion slush fund Congress passed, amounts to approximately $1.2 trillion in additional debt.

This will be added to our $9.6 trillion national debt. That's nearly $11 trillion, with no end to the insanity in sight.

Both Democrats and Republicans are to blame for this mess. The socialistic and unconstitutional actions of Secretary Henry Paulson and Chairman Ben Bernanke apparently have Congress's blessing, though. And yet it seems painfully obvious the American voters are going to continue the insanity by electing another Democrat or Republican for president with little difference between them. Tweedledee and Tweedledum, if you will.

There are, however, four other choices. Why do we not hear more from these people? Why do we not get to learn about them in the media? Why weren't any or all of them included in the so-called presidential debates?

Is it perhaps because the Council on Foreign Relations-controlled media does not want the voter to hear what they have to say and what their solutions would entail for this economy and country? No, they don't stand a chance because the sheeple voters only believe what they hear and read from the mainstream media.

There are better choices than the ones we are being presented! If you value civil liberties and the free market system, you had better wake up! We are headed down the dark path to socialism!
