Let’s stop being phony and honor them in a way that really matters. Then we can have our parades, picnics, lay wreaths of flowers, and make pompous speeches.

For every day that a person spends in a combat zone, give them one day of pay and full benefits when they get out of service. Don’t throw them on the streets, like we do people who get out of prison after paying for their crimes. Out veterans deserve better; give them full pay while they go to school on the G.I. Bill.

Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution has the answer to all of America’s economic problems; killing the cause is the answer to terrorism.

CONGRESS NEEDS TO CREATE MONEY AND BY-PASS THE FEDERAL RESERVE, AND GIVE THE MONEY DIRECTLY TO THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT TO FUND THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND GIVE MONEY DIRECTLY TO THE STATES.

WHEN A SUPER-MAJORITY OF CONGRESS BELIEVES THAT THE FEDERAL RESERVE IS OWNED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, AND NOT A PRIVATE BANKING SYSTEM, IT IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE HAVE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.

To win the war with terrorism, we need to go after terrorism with a double blade axe. We need to use one blade to kill the terrorist and destroy their infrastructure; with the other blade, we need to go after the cause. We need to put equal weight behind each blade.
