Hamilton when he was envisioning a central bank and the federal government commerce department studied the British government. The reason the British created a Federal reserve was during times of war they could borrow money to cover the expenses. This was the primary reason why he also wanted to create a Fed.

 I don’t have any issues with borrowing money for war spending.

Get rid of the requirement for a post services. No need for minimum age requirements for holding office.  Change the passage of constitutional amendments to 2/3d’s of the electorate via state legislators.

Leave it up to states how they appoint/elect senators.

Specially state a federal reserves only responsible is insure the supply of money at close to zero inflation as possible.

Get rid of the general welfare clause instead replace it with a clause which states all persons are to be treated equal under the law but government is not allowed to insure equal outcomes only equal opportunities.

Define what a religion is and what it means to establish a religion by a government entity in a paragraph or two.

Balanced budget amendment other than for war spending (aka violent conflicts, not  war on Poverty, Woman etc.)

Define what a citizen is (aka at conception).

Tax amendment which defines the category of taxes allowed and specifically states all persons/entities must have the same rate under a given type of tax, includes banning all deductions. That is one industry or product can-not be taxed higher, or one person cannot be taxed higher because of how much he makes or because of his age or what he spends his money on.

Ban the government from giving money to any entity unless they have performed a service for the government the value must be near market value. ( I realize this allows for free services but it would make the amendment to complex and inflexible for the future to specify what services the government is allowed to provided.)

Ban any and all public funding of education.

Term limits on federal judges of 20 years, with mandatory retirement age of 75. Secondly allow congress by 2/3rds or state legislators (by 2/3d's of all electoral, aka the same as being elected president only the voters are the legislators and one need 2/3d’s all electoral ) to overrule any court or executive decision.

That was the whole point why liberals and Homosexuals  have pushed to  legalize Gay Marriage. It is not about marriage but about making it government policy to portray homosexual relationships as normal and legal. It's only point is to force their immorality on others via the legal system.

 I would love to see any one in the press take up this line of questioning to the president.

I agree with Adam, Romney mounting a campaign highlighting these points is the only way I think it will gain any traction that could influence any who could be influenced by this information.

Not complete true,  after RFK congress passed a law were one can't be a cabinet member if you are related to the president. So Clinton would have had to make huge deal to do that.

I don’t know why he would bother considering all cabinet members work directly for the president and are only as independent as he allows.

He could put a family member in charge of a cabinet member if he so choose so they would be defacto in charge.

It all goes back to religion. When you believe man is inherently flawed and was created by a God, human progress is as Solomon said, "there is nothing new under the sun". However, when one is an Atheist and believes we evolved, it is logical to assume that we will progress because Humans are  smarter and more evolved than the most intelligent animals.

In the end, it is when knowledge is worshiped only for knowledge sake and one assumes knowledge equals wisdom. This belief system which values knowledge apart from a creator ,who imparts it,  easily leads to wisdom is what I want it to be, under the guise of rational thought. This religion then leads one to  view themselves as their own God or to argue that they have reached enlightenment  thus have God like powers.  Stupidity and evil always insures when anyone claims to have God like powers as the highly religous intelligaia class preaches.

You got the story wrong. There is no law  against it but I think it was in 1967 a supreme court decision  outlawed most bans on duel citizenship.  Secondly, she married her husband in 1978 which was when she was allowed to apply for citizenship. Why? because her husband's parents are citizens. However, her and her husband just in February applied for citizenship. That is why it is coming out now. It would be interesting why they just recently applied, not that it is any of my business.

This was per NPR this morning. It was funny this report was almost done playfully and not in a mocking or cutting way , almost like this story was so silly that that it was a waste of air time.

Although I agree there should be no such thing as duel citizenship it defies the whole concept. Although if I got the chance I most likely would make myself avail to it depending on the country.

The problem becomes there is a small % of young people who in specific subjects are extermly wise. We should always accept wisdom and a sound argument regardless of the age of the person. Yes there is an extremely high correlation between the most wise and old age but it is a principle not a law.

I had a few friends who were extremely wise about life and where quite articulate in late teens/early 20's.   In the end it did not matter that they were right. They did not get respect because all people saw was their age.

However, in Politics & human nature I have never know a young person who would be among the wisest. On occasion, above average, one or two who have suffered a lot and were well above average. So in this case almost a law is fairly close. That is too much reliance on stereotypes when you deal with specific people will always get you into trouble.  

However, when one hears liberals talk about listening to young people, they always stereotype and group young people into one category, therefore they are morons in their statement.

"Cowboy Bebop"

 A sci-fi/Western  (really a western set in the future) Anima TV series and Movie (one 26 episode season and a movie). One of the best Anima series of all times. I think Whedon got his idea for Firefly from it (which I would add to the list).  

I am not a big fan of westerns but like you I did enjoy True Grit. I also enjoyed 3:10 to Yuma.

Here here why should tax payers pay for other entertainment and student go into debt (athletically fees are part of tuition) so some athletes who will never get a degree get to go to college for free so they can train to may hundreds of thousands of dollars for a few years playing sports. College sports in general is that way. I think all sports at college level should be club sports. At the time I went to the 6th college in the U.S. and Hockey and Rowing were club sports that were not paid by the athletic program but through fund raising and student paying fees to participate. I think all sports need to go that way.

However adults love tax payers parents and students paying for their entertainment that is why new stadiums/arenas paid by tax payers only  Billionaires and millionaires richer under the guise of being good for the local economy (which is total B.S.).  

UF is getting ride of their computer Science degree. Why don’t they stop funding all sports programs first. The premium engineering school in Florida getting ride of Computer Science yet no sports my tax dollars at work.

When you get a chance can you expand on your statement "they were wrong in certain particulars" for the books of Nehemiah and Esther.

I wonder if some time in the future a nation will come up with a voting skem were the % of your income you pay in taxes is how many votes you got so as to check the mob from voting for itself pay raise that destroy the nation.

Everything I can think of comes to close to violating COC but would have words like "Bed" "have Babies" "Marry me" and  "Hot" in it. Basically any phrase one hears  teenage girls say about when a hot dreamy famous piece of meat  comes into the room.

At least we are not Japaneses then we would really see cult hero worship increase by an order of magnitude.

The reason we still use the U-3 is U-6 only started being compiled in 1990 were the U-3 in some form has been around much longer.

So considering that media and stock brokers in general still quote the Down Jones Industray avarege twhich has been out of date for over a hundred years. I don't see the media using U-6 any time soon.

 Your other methods are good but imcomplete U-6 is the best stat we have out of the diffrent ways one can skin the cat.

I did not realize it was possible to laugh at absurdity yet have a sick feeling in your stomach all from the same passage.
