BOOMERS WILL BUST YOU

The Baby Boomers are the most spoiled generation ever! In the 60s they rejected traditional values, including their parents' habits of saving and investing. The Boomer Geezers are spending their inheritances from their parents, and now they're going to spend your future income. Boomer Geezers are a black hole of spending, spending, spending.

How will they bust you? The Boomers run the Federal Government and set the media's agenda. They will spend Social Security into bankruptcy. The Federal Government already spends over $20,000 per American family per year, and those numbers are headed upward. Last year the Feds spent TWICE as much money as they took in. The Government took in about $500 billion in revenue, yet they spent about $1 trillion, leaving a deficit for one year of about $450 billion.

Bush, the Conservative, has run up the biggest deficits in the history of the US. Boomer Geezer at work! The Republicans are telling everyone they spent the money on the military and Homeland Security, but the numbers show only about 1/3 of that deficit on such necessary expenditures.

Kerry is one of the five Biggest Spenders in the US Senate, an even bigger spender than Teddy Kennedy, thus Kerry is no answer to Bush's wasteful spending. Depressing, yes, and there is nothing that can be done about it this election year because one of the two will certainly be elected president.

However, over the long run, you can send a message and start the process of bringing down these Geezers and their free-spending ways. Vote LIBERTARIAN in 2004!

Libertarians believe in less spending, smaller government, and more individual freedom. They are the ONLY party that is serious about cutting the Federales' power and operations in half.

WHY VOTE

The US is on the wrong track, and you cannot change it alone. BUT, you CAN make a statement that will make a difference down the road. College-age citizens have the most at stake in this election yet show the least interest in it.

The RepubliCrats are spending your future income today. Bush ran up a $500 billion deficit this year, almost twice as large as the next largest deficit run up by his daddy. And, contrary to popular belief, only about 30% of that deficit spending went to the war or Homeland Security. 9-11 unlocked the "lock box" that both Bush and Gore talked so much about in the 2000 election. No one is talking about relocking the social security "lock box" anymore. It's just spend, spend, spend.

Spending is power and politicians of both parties fight for power, regardless of the cost to you and your future. Only YOU can stop these idiots!

Vote Libertarian in the November election. The Libertarian Party is the ONLY party that even argues in favor of cutting the Federal Government in half. Both the Republicans and the Democrats point to their politicians and spending programs as the answer to all the world's problems.

Only YOU can protect your own future. The Libertarians cannot win, so why waste a vote on their presidential candidate. Once the politicians and media see that 10% or 20% of the American public have caught onto the major parties' hypocrisy, then some ambitious politicians may actually start listening to YOU.

Both the Republicans and the Democrats have spent the US into an enormous fiscal hole. ONLY YOU can stop these Geezers! Sen. Kerry has one of the five Biggest Spending records in the Senate, even worse than Teddy Kennedy. Bush is the Biggest Spending president in history, even though the Republicans control both the Senate and the House. Thus, all the "conservative" talk of smaller government and lower federal spending is pure hypocrisy.

For the sake of your future and to put the Geezers in their place, Vote Libertarian!

COLLEGE TOO EXPENSIVE

College is too expensive! As reported in Investor's Business Daily on July 15, "the increases in tuition exceed the rate of inflation." Over the past 22 years, tuition has soared 202%.

IBD points out that $103 billion in Federal grants and loans last year alone has made college administrators "numb to price hikes".

In fact, college faculty and administrators have it made. Full professors have "tenure" (can never be fired) and most have consulting gigs on the side where they make their real money. They don't want to be bothered with lowly undergrads, so they hand off real teaching to semi-bi-lingual grad students or others.

This is YOUR MONEY they're wasting on Ivory Towers. With the internet, DVDs, and other technology gadgets, the price of college should be going DOWN-- not increasing more than anything else but medical care and oil.

It's time to REBEL! Get involved. We need to take control from the administrators and the college trustees (most of whom are really there to make sure their construction companies, banks, insurance companies, etc. get the multi-billion dollar contracts from your institution of higher learning.

WEED

One of the most conservative journals in the US, National Review, just did a front page story on why it is absurd to make weed illegal-- yet their on-line edition does not seem to have that story.

Has anyone found it on-line?

Youth of today must rebel against the politics of the Geezers! Not only is it absurd to send kids to prison who smoke a joint, but, just as seriously, the Geezers are spending all YOUR MONEY.

How? The Federal Government is running up debts you and your kids will spend the rest of your lives paying for. The only real debate between Bush (who is running a $500 billion deficit) and Kerry (who wants to run a $700 billion deficit) is over what programs to spend YOUR MONEY on. It's time to stop these Geezers, all of them!

VOTE Libertarian!

NEW BOOK: THE AUTOMATIC MILLIONAIRE

Check out The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach. In his book and on his website he emphasizes the key to the average person easily becoming a millionaire is: time! And only YOUNG people have enough time ahead of them to become millionaires in a gradual, predictable manner. His "latte factor" is well worth considering for the young, hip folks who spend $5 a day on frivolous liquids.

The real threat to the future economic success of our generation is the out-of-control Federal Government spending promoted by the Geezers. As Jack Kemp, co-director of Empower America, stated in a June 16, 2004, Investor's Business Daily article:

"...no matter how fast the incredible federal revenue machine sucks in taxes, unless some kind of spending limitation is put into law, it will never be sufficient to keep pace with spending."

Forget about Empower America's cultural dogma, Kemp is correct in asserting that the major threat facing young people starting out in their careers today is the Federal Government's insatiable appetite for your money. Bach fails to highlight this obstacle in his otherwise excellent book.

Follow the guidelines of The Automatic Millionaire and grow rich slowly!

WEED: LEGAL/ ILLEGAL ?

Remind me, "Why is weed illegal?" You've seen it before, but let's review:

* Weed has never killed anyone, while thousands die each year from drinking (cirhosis of the liver, among other ailments);

* Weed makes people passive, while alcohol makes people combative (bar and/or domestic fights) (check out Salon.com's story noting that at sporting events, while "drinkers get rowdy, pot smokers bliss out");

* On the freeways at 2a.m. Sunday morning the cops say the guy doing 40mph in the slow lane is stoned while the guy doing 110mph in the fast lane is drunk (honestly, which is more likely to kill people?).

We've been in a War on Drugs since the Nixon Administration more than 30 years ago, yet drugs on the street are cheaper and more varied than ever before. Can the War on Drugs be won? Yes? What are you smoking?

Consider this:

* The Federal Government prohibiting you from smoking weed is like your neighbors taking a vote on what you can and cannot do in the privacy of your own home. (In truth, the Government is nothing more than the sum of all your voting neighbors around the country.) Just how free is the land of the free? If you're not hurting other people, what business is it of your neighbors what you do?

* If you go to Federal prison on drug (or any other) charges, the Medical group there will prescribe the stongest heroin-based pain killers and anti-depressants to help you cope with the pain and depression of spending 10, 20, or 40 years in prison.

* Illegal drugs are available in every prison in the US (with the possible exception of "super-max" joints where the inmates are in solitary confinement and never touch another human, and are on camera in lighted cells 24 hours a day). Keep in mind that some of these prisons have 40' walls, topped by guards with machine guns. They have random cell searches and body cavity searches-- yet the drugs still get in.

What is the purpose of the War on Drugs? (Protect the kids, yes, for heaven's sake, let's protect the kids. But for those 18 or 21 years and older, what is the purpose?)

Come November, let's get real! Which candidates favor an end to the futile War? They're out there. Do you support them?

THE FEDS ARE SPENDING OUR MONEY !

"A wise man once said that balancing the budget is like going to heaven. Everyone wants to do it, but nobody wants to do what you have to do to get there." Rep. Jeb Hensarling.

Congressman Hensarling also noted that Federal spending has increased from $16,000 per household in 1998 to $21,000 per household today. Over the past 40 years Federal spending has grown SEVEN times faster than family incomes.

(Check out Hensarling's article, "Fighting for Budget Process Reform", at www.cse.org. Find his article, and many other good ones, at "Key Issues", "Government Spending".)

Duh!?! College students need to REVOLT against the Geezers spending our money of tomorrow today. Your ballot is your bullet! Fire it in November. (The problem is that most of the Republicans are as bad as most of the Democrats. It's hard to shoot 'em all-- but we can try!)
