For those who argue that congress should not be allowed to be more in charge of the currency, like the FED, then why is there a law specifically allowing them the ability to trade on the open market knowingly having insider information?

Martha stuart went to jail for it, or at least house arrest. How can americans be blind to think that we have not yet been sold out by the "elected" officials?

How many congress persons are millionaires? What in the hell are americans really thinking, and what is keeping them from wanting to know?

Summary - Congress members can trade on the stock market with insider information, anyone else would go to jail for that.

the guy who sets the cost of money for anyone who uses the dollar.

Lets not assume that a mer passing of a bill is doing something good. MSNBC article talking about the do-something congress has come up with a mechanism for measuring a low rated congress and their legislative tidings. 

Lets look at their bullet list:

In the past two years, it has:

1. -- expanded the safety net with the health-care law;
   
   This will be debated for many years to come. Some good some bad. No one knows, congress didn't read the bill.
   
   
2. -- invested billions in the nation's roadways, airports, schools, and green technologies with the stimulus;
   
   Is it hard to spend money? We are in a deficit, bailing out banks, car companies and congress is using what money to pay for any of it? Green? I don't buy into the Green Economy, especially when people like al gore profit from cap and trade.
   
   
3. --reformed the nation's financial system with financial reform;
   
   What the hell does this even mean. Say financial again and maybe ill believe it. We are in debt. The country is borrowing money to pay for borrowed money. We have a private international banking cartel controlling the value of the dollar(federal reserve system). They loan hundreds of billions of dollars to foreign places and we cant see who or why. Pelosi's teeth plates must have fell out saying this phrase with all the f's.
   
   
4. -- passed billions in tax cuts for Americans with the stimulus and the extension of the Bush-era tax cuts
   
   Thanks congress for doing something that should be default. I'm sure a republican congress has done this. Is this really an accomplishment? Maybe if obama would have done what he promised to do about rich tax cuts, this could have been more noticeable.
   
   
5. -- expanded civil rights with the repeal of "Don’t Ask, Don't Tell."
   
   So what does this mean? Don't tell what? The gays they don't have rights? Its not in the bible for gay people to get married? Did the bible predict the cell phone? Gays are weaker and dumber than woman or blacks, now that sounds american.

John F. Kennedy said, before he was killed, that the idea of secrecy in a free society is repugnant. Dick Cheney is a part of the old boy network. Not to say he has any real power, however dick from the last bush administration, has had his ideals modified greatly.

99 out of a 100 problems can be resolved with one thing alone. Money.

Clinton tells how she fell for Bill "long ago"

Who gives a shit really? With all the bullshit going on, why does anyone care how bill and hillary met? Give it a rest and sensationalize some other bullshit hollywood couple. These two nihilist are the highest level of criminal as we can get and the associated press wants to throw this horse shit around. 

Those who know little about domain name registration know that register.com / network solutions are two of the most over priced domain registrars on the net. I am going to be looking at getting a domain name for our local government. The extension for our domain is .gov.

Dotgov.gov is where you go if you are going to register a .gov domain. Since 1997 dotgov.gov has been in charge of the extension and they charge a lot more than register.com

Godaddy's prices range from $5 to $9 per year per domain, register.com $35 a year, networksolutions $34.99 a year.

Dotgov.gov registers domain names for $125 a year. Meaning that a government service to government agency overpays 3 fold using your tax dollars. Every government entity that registers a .gov name, tax payers are paying for a huge fee.

In focus.

The government will waste money. This is just another example of what happens when the government is involved. Is there any good reason that it cost so much to handle .gov domains?

If you have any extra money laying around the house please send it to the government. Its obvious they do not have enough of our tax dollars. Maybe the government should take 100% of our income and then send us back the money the do not need.

And the American people really want our government to manage health care, even after they screwed up social security so bad? What America needs is less government and more liberty.

Coming to a state near you is a real id act, some kind of act where the government wants you to carry around precious info, just in case you need to prove to someone you live in the country, legally.

The main problem with most government programs is that they go out of the scope of the original idea, needing more, costing more, with larger budgets every year.

The Social Security Number was originally intended to ensure accurate reporting of payroll contributions so that an employee's Social Security benefits could be adjusted accordingly, and then the employee could claim their benefits upon retirement.

One of the key components in stealing your identity is your social security number. It is required by every bank. Everyone needs money.

Do you want the government in control of an RFID chip that tells other government computers who you are, what you are, and where you can go?

When you give your baby's ssn to the IRS, you pay less federal income taxes. Federal income tax dollars go to pay the private banks the interested owed to them by our government borrowing from something called the federal reserve. Our government has the only legal right to coin money, not a group of private banks that make up the federal reserve system.

America hasn't been America for some time. Our government sold us out to a banking system, just like the one that controls what is now called the European Union.
