At least running with Ryan gives US voters a choice

I've just watched the standard issue BBC hatchet job on Romney's decision to run with Ryan as his candidate for US Vice President. As usual the BBC seems to think its the campaigning arm of the Obama campaign.

But at least Americans are to get a choice on there future.

Here Labour, the Lib Dems, and a career club called the Conservative party are all persuing expanding state, sinking debt campaigns which appear to prioritize relection with vested interest groups over the future of our country.

PS Not sure what it is with my spell checker - but it keeps wanting to replace Obama with Osama - what does it know that the rest of us don't ?

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
