There&amp;#39;s one extre sentence I&amp;#39;m currently hoping for.
&amp;quot;Some day you&amp;#39;l pay the price&amp;quot;. This is my deepest wish, that the Deledefs and Bureacrats, and &amp;quot;servant&amp;quot; of the states do pay the price. 

&lt;p&gt;
Well I know it&amp;#39;s more likely that the next war will just kill besides a lot of &amp;quot;soldiers&amp;quot; some of the bureacrats and politicians too. But the rabble-rousers wil surivive. It&amp;#39;s obviously 
the balance of nature that some take pleasure to suppress and repress. We need a robust constition to survive those malice doers. Anyway we still have a chance that we get
more liberty. It will take ages, decades, centuries and even longer. We&amp;#39;ll see and ever will see up and downs of personal freedom. There will be fascists times that we currently are entering,
and there will be freedom after their break-downs. And the spiral will start turning again.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
What we do have currently are such fine Blogs as here on Mises or other sources of informatoin about economic and personal freedom. If you are unsure start lookign around here.
visit the pages dedicated to von Mises, Hayek, Rohtbard, Bastiat and from there look after the readins lists and start judging yourself. You always can and should ask whose right and whose wrong. 
Does war on whatever really is war against that whatever or whom else does it serve?
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Take the action after 9/11 and ask yourself. Is the world more peaceful place? Or was the opposite reached. Now you ask how long have the US fought their wars. What&amp;#39;s wih this war on terrorism, has
it ended or is it just starting?
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
See the debt mountains of the states and ask yourself. Whom do they serve? Is the net wealth really that much higher? See the promises of the presidents, how many do they really have fullfilled?
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
If you see the did not reach their goals then name is such and even better write it down. This blog was just started because I wanted to express the things I found to be right and wrong. And currently I just can see a lot of wrong-doings. I came to the Austrians during the last 4-5 years. I&amp;#39;ve studies also economics and political economics, and I can tell you not once during my time at the university von Mises, Hayek etc were even mentioned. That says a lot about german universities. But don&amp;#39;t be surprised, they are paid nearly 100 % of states. That tells you a lot about the educational system. Anyway it&amp;#39;s not forbidden of impossible to break out this main-stream thinking. Just do it.

This were initiated a year ago before the first money was transferred. Just imagine you know  a defrauder, he is caught and one year &amp;quot;nothing&amp;quot; happens. That&amp;#39;s  the  situation of the &amp;quot;greece helpers&amp;quot;. It&amp;#39;s illegal, it&amp;#39;s against the no-bailout clause. and guess what  nobody cares. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact Germany violates the treaties for the  Eu convergence critera.  Just hat anyone can remember. 1) not more than 60% debt of the GDP, b) not more than 3% new deficits a year. Nearly no-one fullfilles this things and what happens? Exactly  nothing. Greece is beyond 150% new debt of the GDP and probably that&amp;#39;s the most after Japane which over 200% debt /GDP.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just imagine you will among the richest men in Germany with 12 Billions. Probably among the top ten earner. And at the top of this earners Aldi stands. And they exist for now 50 years. So the worth of 50 years of work and service to the people gone today. For scammers. And still  the same responsible for the scam are in charge in Greece. Everything they have done was lying and stealing but giving them more money is without alternative?&lt;br /&gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://mises.org/community/aggbug.aspx?PostID=428347" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/tags/debt/default.aspx">debt</category><category domain="http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/tags/economy/default.aspx">economy</category><category domain="http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/tags/lies/default.aspx">lies</category><category domain="http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/tags/greece/default.aspx">greece</category><category domain="http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/tags/politics/default.aspx">politics</category><category domain="http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/tags/deledefs+calculation/default.aspx">deledefs calculation</category><category domain="http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/tags/scam/default.aspx">scam</category></item><item><title>good news?</title><link>http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/2011/04/11/good-news.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 11 Apr 2011 05:11:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:413088</guid><dc:creator>Friedrich Dominicus</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=413088</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/commentapi.aspx?PostID=413088</wfw:comment><comments>http://mises.org/community/blogs/fdominicus/archive/2011/04/11/good-news.aspx#comments</comments><description>I&amp;#39;m puzzling, Why is it good news that the US shutdown did not take place? They still  have an insane budget deficit and the only thing they&amp;#39;ve agreed upon is written on some sheet 
of paper. 

&lt;p&gt;
We&amp;#39;re still talking about a deficit at or around 1 trillions. I calculated once how much this will cost in the future. And this money is not invested just &amp;quot;spend&amp;quot;. Spend for the current obligations of government. 
There still are enormous amounts of money needed just to pay the &amp;quot;promises&amp;quot; like pension payments etc. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
If we &amp;quot;break&amp;quot; it down to private people it&amp;#39;s that they needed new credits just to pay their eating bills. And there&amp;#39;s nothing left for uncertainties.  You get ill or layed of? Well too bad, just ask for more credit. 
So I can not the the success. It does not show how desperate the situation really it is. It&amp;#39;s just a message that everything goes on (bad) as usual. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Still all the money is sunk in diverse wars, and sunk into the most jails world-wide. The unemployment rate is not change &amp;quot;automagically&amp;quot; and people just get older and older. And just a few get all the money. 
So where&amp;#39;s the good news really?

As you might know the political guidelines are initiated from
a commission of the EU. If I understand it correctly ministers of the diverse EU countries are part of this commission.  
But this commision never ever was elected, in an open ballot. You&amp;#39;d might thing how does that work democracy and
&amp;quot;ruled by commisson&amp;quot; I think this is 	 irreconcilable. And even worse this commison also are the only ones which can go to court for
their own decided rules. So we have the no separation at all. If I follow my doom or failure path. I&amp;#39;d say this gives
at least a - 90 (so our countries are doomed). Well it does not look all too bright for the EU countries. 

Once we had politicans acting qute responsible, but I&amp;#39;m under the impresson this times have past. Is it really a &amp;quot;fact&amp;quot; that democracy turns into a
Ochlocracy sooner or later?

Well I&amp;#39;m under the impression that too much truth lays in that path. Just see how this &amp;quot;politicians&amp;quot; currently act. They decide on laws but do break them without
any qualms. And here in Germany many laws are decided which don&amp;#39;t apply to the politicians itself. E.g we have laws for healt insurance, but civil servant  and therefor also
politicians are excluded. They get private health care. Now if the &amp;quot;rulers&amp;quot; rule with laws which do not apply to them. What else could be the result than more and more arbitrariness ?

I think  it&amp;#39;s highest time to get rid of this &amp;quot;rat pack&amp;quot;....

The EU will decide (whith high likliness) that 110 MRD new credits
will be given to Greece. Germany alone has to &amp;quot;bear&amp;quot; 28 MRD. Interstingly enough the first number has been 8 MRD now within 14 days
we get an 350 % increase. Currently Germany has to get new debts to pay for old ones. Now how  long can such a thing persist? 

Ah yes there are treaties which mean. Live within your financial  bounds. But they are not even worth  the paper they&amp;#39;re written on. As a a single person you 
do not have the slightes chance to go to court for such things. 

Because of all this   I invented (maybe someone else has done it before ) a new term for politicions. In Germany it&amp;#39;s delebets, in Englilsh it probably  will be
DEmotracic LEgitimized DEfrauders. Soo its deledes. I&amp;#39;d prefer to use this term in the future. I&amp;#39;d encourage you to  use it also if you seem it fit.

&lt;p&gt;I wrote about the CD with thought-to-be-tax-defrauders. Now there&amp;#39;s new level of insanity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At first the CD should be bought and after that there should be a new law established which makes this buy illegal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You don&amp;#39;t believe me.&amp;nbsp; I do not even believe it myself but it&amp;#39;s written here &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;http://www.suedkurier.de/news/baden-wuerttemberg/baden-wuerttemberg/art417921,4193742&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The title says: law against data theft&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But in the middle one can read:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span id="textzoom"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;quot;Zuvor wird der Bund allerdings die in Baden-W&amp;uuml;rttemberg und anderen Bundesl&amp;auml;ndern aufgetauchten Steuers&amp;uuml;nder-Daten &amp;quot;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Read: &amp;quot;Before the state governement will buy the CD of tax-defrauders which have occured in Baden-W&amp;uuml;rttemberg or other states&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They want to make illegal what they are first doing and for which they are paying high sums. &lt;/p&gt;

The EU is considereing bailing-out Greece. How great is that, the one-eyed should lead the blind&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Greece is a nepotism, the current &amp;quot;helpers&amp;quot; are on their way to nepotism. Nepotism leads to bancruptcy and so we all are heading towards it. Anything learned? Not a bit. So what can we do. I just can see one way out, introduce real-money any forbid that governements can lend. All other ways will sooner or later lead to YAF (yet another failout). THE EU should not spend one cent, Greece should left the Euro area and get their business done. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most important now for Greece is introducing free trade (not bought trade). So every one takoing a cent of bribe money, is excluded from every public job. No excuse is accepted. Accepting bribe money is the counterpart of free trade, it&amp;#39;s conspiracy. So 2 sides (one side the &amp;quot;allmighty governement&amp;quot;, do make deals which, let to trades for &amp;quot;unreal&amp;quot; money. And it surely means it will be much more expensive for the governement. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So as long as we do see that bribe money is handed over in &amp;quot;quantities&amp;quot;, Greece should be left alone. If they&amp;#39;d had to leave and would start having real-money, they will recover very fast. If we sink in extra Fiat-money, they will loose and we&amp;#39;ll&amp;nbsp; loose also.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
