Nelson Hultberg via the Daily Bell:
“The “Two Pillars Strategy” is the foundation of the Conservative American Party.
Pillar #1 is to enact Milton Friedman’s 4% auto-expansion plan for the Fed. This will mandate by law that the Fed can only increase the money supply by 4% every year. Monetary expansion will be taken away from the FOMC’s arbitrary discretion and be computerized, which will keep money supply growth equivalent to the growth of goods and services, which will reduce price inflation to zero. This will end the Fed’s irresponsibility and allow time for the people to be educated as to the necessity for a gold standard and ending the Fed, which might require several decades. Such an auto-expansion plan is not perfect and not a permanent solution, but it will stop the destruction of our currency. It is a vital interim policy until gold money can be re-established. Even Ron Paul himself knows that the Fed is not going to be eliminated right away. Only naïve utopians who don’t live in the real world want to end the Fed today. Good grief! The country would totally collapse. We need a plan to phase out the Fed. This pillar is the first step toward that process. Combine it with Edwin Vieira’s plan to enact gold and silver coin alternatives at the state level, and you have a viable means to rectify 100 years of Marxist / Keynesian monetary insanity.
Pillar #2 is to enact an equal-rate income tax of 10% for everyone (i.e., a genuine flat tax). If we are to uphold “equal rights” in America, then we must have “equal rates” in our tax system. And all citizens must be assessed the tax. No exemptions. Period. Only in this way can we have a responsible electorate. When all people have to pay proportionally for their government services, they will begin to vote for less government every year at the polls. “
I’ve never herd of the “two pillar strategy”. Most of what’s mentioned is reasonable, especially the 4% monetary expansion policy. What I don’t agree with is this statement “Only naïve utopians who don’t live in the real world want to end the Fed today”. I don’t agree because these people understand how evil and destructive the fed is. No one knows the true cost of money because the fed has printed so much of it and messed around with interest rates beyond what any one could imagine.
Well, it is a gradualist approach that won’t appeal to those who like to “smash the state” etc.
Unforunately, all that is mostly rhetoric. Most of the people calling to “smash the state” are mild family men who occupy well-funded sinecures and make their money off copyrights and a bunch of other things defended by the state.
I don’t find anything wrong in any of that since I’m a propertarian within reasonable limits, but then, I’m not posturing as an anarchist either.
Anarchism is entirely feasible. But not in this society. The mindset needed is absent in most of the population, including most of the ones who claim to be anarchist.
Anyone who says otherwise is either daft, playing a role, or on the take. Or likely, all three.
What a total joke…
Marxist, Kenynesian economy what country are you living in?

Only fools who are convinced you tell the truth would believe this nonsense…
Good to see you hate democracy and good to see you hate manufacturing…
The banks now how to run the world. Ending the Federal Reserve who cares it is not bank because if it is I would love to leave a desposit in there.
Where are you going to get gold from for all 7 billion people how does a gold standard work you need gold to increase the money supply…
don’t explain anything just come up with slogans against anyone who critically analyses your ideas..
yes all government led’s to serfdom as clearly seen as all politicans work for bankers what is ron paul going to change?
increasing the money supply has been the object of the federal reserve for the past years it is not new..
how you can lie and sleep at night no one knows..
25 reasons to be in america yes yes the lost tribes of israel…
how many countries has this been tried in…
gees i wonder if it was a good idea for government to say no to companies offshoring jobs?
that is statist..
never have has there been so much drible written by complete and total liers worse than any previous politican ever elected in this country…
go and lower minimum wage, take over government institutions because you can’t set up your own business…
that is all you intend on doing
@Bill Brown
Lost tribes of Israel??? Not sure what you mean.
I’ve explicitly refuted Christian dispensationalism, British Israelism and all the other ideologies behind seeing America as the New Jerusalem or Kingdom come.
– Lower minimum wage.
I don’t really care one way or other. It doesn’t make much of a difference. You can’t get people to work where I live for under $15 an hour, so government fixing it wherever they want it doesn’t affect me. But I do know that the lower the wage, more people will hire. It’s common sense.
Free trade is a mixed bag as it is. It’s managed and it’s managed to maximize corporate returns…so, yes, I can oppose that. But I don’t know if it’s always a race to the bottom.
I have no intention of doing anything at all. I have no axe to grind.
The problem is not real free trade. It’s the state run economy…which is all we’ve had.
The first priority would be to cut MNC’s down to size, through boycotting them or destroying their various subsidies.
