Re: National Debt has been at 18 Trillion for 175 Days.

Well I sure hope Winston is right. I haven't been able to research his stuff yet. I was in Tim Turner's Republic till a few months ago and there was no word of any funding then. In fact there are probably only 10 states still involved I think. I think if there was some funding coming their way, my friends would be telling me to get back in again. So I think Winston must be talking about some other group.

And what most people don't realize is that any government agency that isn't a court or the legislature, is the executive branch. And this is over 90% of the government agencies, like the military, police, prison system, IRS and Federal Reserve. So this gives the president a ton of power to do things himself. That's why Rand Paul is saying he'll shut down the IRS I think it was? And Ron Paul was going to shut down the public education system and the Fed too wasn't it? And I think Ron was going to bring the troops home too since there has never been any official declaration of war issued by the Legislature? If someone really wants to be "strong arm" like Obozo, he can pretty much write the laws. So maybe all this is possible if it's done right. A president could just shut down the Fed and replace it with real constitutional money, backed by gold like you mentioned, and force the other two branches to prove he violated the Constitution, or go along with it.
