You are correct ......

A widget is a widget is a widget, (read any product). A service is a service is a service. From either now or a thousand years ago. A product may change its shape or function, as well as to what or how it is serviced. The underlying economic forces do not. Reaganomics was policy, ie. government intervention, "inserts the federal government into the private lives of citizens in unnatural and intrusive ways", in a supposedly a free market economy. And was more of the government cutting of taxes than anything else.

The one thing government can do, that would stop the interventions of bad actors controlling economic forces, picking winners and losers, deciding who gets that expansion loan, or not, profiting from stock market swings because they are the inside market manipulators with the first hand inside information they create. The reason there are so many social programs from Social Security to food stamps. The reason for so many being unemployed or under-employed. The reason for so many bankruptcies and home foreclosures. The reason for the burgeoning homeless population, and accompanied drug and alcohol abuse. Is to forever end The Federal Reserve System by exercising Section 31. ~ of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 ~ Reservation of right to amend: The right to amend, alter, or repeal this Act is hereby expressly reserved.

After that vote, to then return to Constitutional sound money, United States Notes, backed by gold and silver coin, ie., "Will Pay to the Bearer on Demand", "X Dollars", in Gold, or Silver Coin, and putting the power of, "To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin ...", back into The Peoples hands. Nothing else, no policy, no regulation, no wishful thinking, while the privately owned, privately profitable and nontaxable, central bank, The Federal Reserve, is still in operation will remedy what has, and is, happening economically in our Nation, or other Nations with privately owned central banks in operation issuing and controlling a Nation's currency. To kill the venomous snake, The Federal Reserve, you must cut off its head then smash it with into an unrecognizable pulp with a hammer. Section 31.

I will conclude my participation in this discussion thusly:

Your vision for America is wonderful, but archaic: that horse left the barn a hundred years ago, and the barn has long since burned down. You can stand on the street corner and pound “End the Fed” signs into the grass all you wish, and raise a fuss on forums like this about the poor sheep who cannot see their way out of the pen, but it’s a Quixotic struggle.

You might be better served by finding a new land to colonize, because what you seek will never again occur in this land, at least in our lifetimes or those of our children or grandchildren. The welfare class have learned that they can vote boons for themselves and never work a day in their lives, the Democrat lawmakers are all too happy to create dependency to gain and keep their power, and the cycle will inevitably end in yet another socialist disaster.

Call me a sheep yet again if you want, but realists have a much better chance of effecting positive change than do those putting up the angry signs on street corners.

There you go again. I say return to the Constitution, you say I'm pounding "End the Fed" signs on street corners. Why do you hate this Nation and it's founding principles so much? Why do you, even when it is explained, cling to the premise, (of it's just fine and ok) of a private organization issuing and controlling our Nation's currency that is detrimental to the Nation and our way of life? Your argument is that Constitution, my vision for America being wonderful, is archaic? Why is it you say what I, and others, "seek will never again occur in this land"? Why are you so unwilling to fight for this idea, this great experiment that is a Republic? Why won't you fight for your children's future? Why won't you fight for your grandchildren's future? Why are you so god damned closed minded as to the economic realities staring you right in your face everyday and the direct cause that could be eliminated? Why? You say you support the 2nd Amendment; Shall not be infringed. You support the 1st Amendment; Congress shall make no law. You cannot pick and choose. If you support the Constitution, then you must support it in it's totality. Specifically speaking for this discussion, Article 1, Section 8; "The Congress shall have Power; To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;". Else you fight for a Constitutional amendment to add or change what you do not like. Whether you like it or not, support it or not, the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land. It must be enforced.

I'll try to think of another good one next year at this time when the commissioners try to screw over property owners again... :) I guess they got smart and decided they didn't want to get "primaried" in the next elections...
