We Need Leaders Who Truly Believe in a Limited Federal Government...

The Republicans proposed cuts of $6 trillion over ten years, which the Democrats criticize as being too severe, are not nearly enough. The spending cuts average $600 billion per year, but the federal government is spending $1.5 trillion more than it takes in which means the National Debt will grow an average of $900 billion per year adding another $9 trillion to the National Debt over those ten years adding up to a total of $23 trillion. At that point to pay debt service (interest and principal) with only 2% interest will consume 63% of all federal revenue. Think that might be a problem?

And that’s not even the worst of it. Our own government is destroying the value of our currency. From 1800 to 1900 when our currency was backed by gold and silver there was an overall average of zero inflation for 100 years. Zero inflation coupled with manufacturing efficiencies create real wealth. There is no other way. And that is why we feel a little poorer each day. It's not our imagination...inflation is eating us alive.

Since the Federal Reserve (deceptively named to hide the fact that a private institution prints and controls our money supply as evidenced by your dollar bill which says, "Federal Reserve Note") was created in 1913 the dollar has declined 95%, in real terms now only worth a nickel. Difficult to understand or hard to believe?

Think of it this way...a quarter in 1964 (90% silver) bought a gallon of gas (actually it was 27 cents per gallon). Does your new nickel-coated copper quarter buy a gallon of gas now? No...But the silver content of that 1964 quarter is worth $3.75, enough to buy a gallon of gas. See how our own government has devalued our currency? All this and, with the exception of just a couple members of Congress, not one word from Republicans or Democrats.

Do you believe that doesn't really affect you? What will you do when our currency is worthless? Our government may collapse and the Constitution be rendered void in favor of a dictatorship or one-world government. We are not immune from such tragedy. Some are even fostering such hopes.

THE COMMON MAN, Mel Valkner's new book, takes an in-depth analysis of what comprises a Constitutional Budget. The basic steps needed for reversing the cycle of losing good-paying jobs, and restoring a vibrant economy, and protecting the value of our currency are really quite simple.

1) The Founding Fathers wanted a wealthy people and made the income tax illegal. It was made legal by the 16th Amendment in 1913. Eliminate federal income taxes through repealing the 16th Amendment (The Wall St Journal concurs - click here for article), so the federal government lives off excise taxes, tariffs and apportionment taxes like the Founders intended. Remember, prohibition, a bad amendment, was repealed.

2)  Protect American jobs through tariffs. These are our markets after all. Business holds down labor costs by using overseas labor forces, but the Founders wanted others to rise to our level, not us sink to theirs. (Instead our unfavorable balance of trade with China is $230 billion per year, meaning we are growing their economy and financing their military to challenge us!)

3)  Lower taxes means that Americans will have more money to spend on higher-priced products made in the U.S.

4)  As manufacturing returns to produce American-made goods, higher-paying jobs will be created as there are more skilled jobs than available workers.

5)  With higher-paying jobs, everyone will have more money to meet their needs.

6)  Then we must restore the value of our currency by gradually making our "fake silver" coins of 90% real silver again and pennies made of copper (now made of 97.5% zinc). After the National Debt is amortized and paid off, then the whole currency can be backed by gold and silver as dictated by Article 1, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution.

We must act now...

Before the budget of the federal government can be examined and balanced the limits of its constitutionality must be understood. The Constitution was ratified by the States. It legally binds the federal government. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution enumerates the expenditures Congress is authorized to make. If there is no authorization for an expenditure, then, according to the 10th Amendment, that power is reserved for the States and the people.

THE COMMON MAN, among many other things, examines the constitutionality of the federal budget, balances the budget, and pays off the National Debt by 2033. It also takes a hard look at Social Security and Medicare with a surprising conclusion.

There is no time to lose. The concepts in THE COMMON MAN are those espoused by the Founding Fathers. They are time-tested. They work.
