Ron Brown's House of Cards

Do you think the Netflix series “House of Cards” about an evil and corrupt politician scheming and murdering his way in to the White House is too far-fetched?

You might reconsider after reading this story about Bill & Hillary Clinton:



How you will benefit from a Flat Tax

How To Rein In The Tyranny Of the IRS
We need a Flat Tax now more than ever.
Eliminate Tax Brackets and Complicated Forms with a Flat Tax.

How you will benefit:
The first $36,000 of your income is TAX FREE!
Federal income tax is reduced to “flat” 17% on income over $36,000.
No taxes on your Social Security, pensions, personal savings, or capital gains.
Elimination of complicated tax forms.  File your taxes on a postcard.
Corporations and the very rich would also pay 17% with no exemptions or special deals made for them by their friends in Congress.

Speed Reading

This looks cool . . .

This Insane New App Will Allow You To Read Novels In Under 90 Minutes

The reading game is about to change forever. Boston-based software developer Spritz has been in “stealth mode” for three years, tinkering with their program and leasing it out to different ebooks, apps, and other platforms.

Now, Spritz is about to go public with Samsung’s new line of wearable technology.

Other apps have offered up similar types of rapid serial visual presentation to enhance reading speed and convenience on mobile devices in the past.

However, what Spritz does differently (and brilliantly) is manipulate the format of the words to more appropriately line them up with the eye’s natural motion of reading.

The “Optimal Recognition Point” (ORP) is slightly left of the center of each word, and is the precise point at which our brain deciphers each jumble of letters.

The unique aspect of Spritz is that it identifies the ORP of each word, makes that letter red and presents all of the ORPs at the same space on the screen.

In this way, our eyes don’t move at all as we see the words, and we can therefore process information instantaneously rather than spend time decoding each word.


The game done changed. Try it for yourself . . .

Another Socialist Solution

In 1729, Jonathan Swift sarcastically called for the eating of the young, so they could feed the Irish poor. He would be glad to know that we are in a progressive era, where the murder of babies for use as a resource wouldn’t be tolerated…oh wait…in the UK, they are using aborted fetuses to heat their hospitals?!?!?

Join Bill Whittle as he analyzes this atrocity, in this episode of Afterburner:

What happened to this lady should infuriate every American

Obama’s media will not air this, so we need to give it the widest possible dissemination via email.  What is indeed ironic is that when this tyranny is fully propagated, the liberal media types will find themselves subject to censorship.

This was a very, very disturbing video of recent testimony in front on Congress.....this is not FOX News (which is constantly criticized for its conservative reporting).  This is the real story about what is happening to Americans dedicated to ensuring honest elections where proper procedures are followed.  It is critical because if fraudulent votes are allowed, legitimate votes are "neutralized".  Of all the e-mails I have received this is one that I had to forward and I urge you to do the same.  This woman deserves our thanks and appreciation for going on the record.  Take the time to watch what she has to say and what she, her husband and family and family business have endured for their efforts.

This is the reason we must replace all elected officials who are complicit, and prosecute those responsible for these travesties.

Jimmy Carter Confirms That He Is An Idiot

Who is worse?  Carter or his son, Obama?

In an interview with National Public Radio, former President Jimmy Carter said that Catholic teaching on women’s ordination has led to the abuse of women throughout the world.

“The fact that the Catholic Church, for instance, prohibits women from serving as priests or even deacons gives a kind of a permission to male people all over the world, that well, if God thinks that women are inferior, I’ll treat them as inferiors,” said Carter. “If she’s my wife, I can abuse her with impunity, or if I'm an employer, I can pay my female employees less salary.”


Another Example of Obama's Corruption

If you’re black, it’s OK to commit fraud!  The brazen criminality of Obama and his Attorney General.  

No Justice Department Charges Against Ohio Woman Who Voted Six Times for Obama

Last week Al Sharpton embraced convicted vote fraudster Melowese Richardson at a “voting rights” rally in Cincinnati.  The United States Department of Justice under Eric Holder has done nothing to Melowese Richardson 410 days after she admitted on camera that she committed multiple federal felonies by voting six times for President Obama’s reelection.

The lack of DOJ action against an unrepentant federal vote fraudster combined with Richardson’s lionization by Sharpton and the organization that sponsored the rally demonstrates how the Justice Department is facilitating a culture of brazen criminality on the eve of the 2014 midterm elections.  The failure to indict Richardson is the latest example of Holder’s department excusing lawlessness in federal elections and abandoning law abiding Americans.

Let me see if I have this right...

 Ukraine buys almost all its energy (natural gas)from Russia. Revenues from natural gas sales are a primary source of income for Russia.

Because of the recent disagreement between Ukraine and Russia, Russia is raising the price of natural gas it sells to The Ukraine.

The Ukraine is almost broke and can't afford the increase in the natural gas price because it would be forced into bankruptcy.

President Obama (The USA) just announced the United States is giving The Ukraine, $1 billion to assist in paying for the higher priced natural gas it buys from Russia.

So, the United States is actually giving Russia $1 billion because the money is just passing through The Ukraine.

The first question:  Has Vladimir Putin figured out a way to raise the price of his natural gas sales and make the U.S. pay for the increase? 

Next question:   Was he really in the KGB or was he a commodities trader ?

If this analysis is accurate, Vladimir Putin just got Barack Obama (the USA) to pay him $1 billion by holding a press conference and trucking some troops across town from the Russian Navy base in Ukraine.

Who is the Smartest guy in the room now ?

Oh Yes… Remember -  “I’ll have more flexibility after I am reelected.”


Yes Yes Doctor

We all need to do something soon!  

Pictured below is a young physician by the name of Dr. Starner Jones. His short two-paragraph letter to the White House accurately puts the blame on a "Culture Crisis" instead of a "Health Care Crisis".

Dear Mr. President:  

During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ring tone.

While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"!( A Completely Free Healthcare Program provided by our Government).   During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer.  

And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture", a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based on the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me."  

Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.    

Respectfully,
STARNER JONES, MD  


If you agree...pass it on. YES YES YES        

Did you know this about Obamacare?

VERY SERIOUS AND FACTUAL....MUCH TO BE HIGHLY CONCERNED ABOUT!



This is serious stuff.............This should not be happening in this country!

If you don't read this, and do nothing about it, don't complain when it affects you or your loved ones!!!!!
This is the second Judge to have read the Obama Care document and made
comments.   More highlights of Nancy 's "pass it and Then find out
what's in the bill"!!!!!!   Show this to everyone nearing the ripe
old age of 76. These are just a few of the things that we Seniors are going to
have to deal with starting in 2014.  Even far left Democrats will not
like these.

MEDICARE AT AGE 76, IMPORTANT PLEASE READ - ANYONE WHO
DOUBTS THIS IS TRUE CAN DOWNLOAD THE NEW OBAMA CARE AND LOOK UP THE PAGES
MENTIONED. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING....PLEASE PASS THIS OUTRAGE TO EVERYONE
ON YOUR LIST!!! THIS should be read by everyone, especially important to those
over 75...If you are younger, then it may apply to your
parents....

Your hospital Medicare admittance has just changed under
Obama Care. You must be admitted by your primary Physician in order for
Medicare to pay for it!
If you are admitted by an emergency room doctor it is
treated as outpatient care where hospital costs are not covered. This is only
the tip of the iceberg for Obama Care. Just wait to see what happens in this
year and 2014!

YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIKE THIS... At age 76 when you
most need it most, you are not eligible for cancer treatment * see page 272.
What Nancy Pelosi didn't want us to know until after the healthcare bill was
passed. Remember she said, "We have to pass the Bill so that we can see what's
in it." Well, here it is.

Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, TX -
highlighted the most egregious pages of HB3200 Please read this...especially
the reference to pages 58 & 59 JUDGE KITHIL wrote:

* Page
50/section 152: The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. residents,
even if they are here illegally.

* Page 58 and 59: The government will
have real-time access to an individual's bank account and will have the
authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.

* Page
65/section 164: The plan will be subsidized (by the government) for all union
members, union retirees and for community organizations (such as the
Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN).

* Page
203/line 14-15: The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a
tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?)

* Page
241 and 253: Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and
the government will set all doctors' fees. This is what they do in Sweden
too.

* Page 272. section 1145: Cancer hospital will ration care
according to the patient's age.

* Page 317 and 321: The government will
impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition
for an exception.

* Page 425, line 4-12: The government mandates
advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required
to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (Death
counseling..)

* Page 429, line 13-25: The government will specify which
doctors can write an end-of-life order.

HAD ENOUGH????
Judge Kithil
then goes on to identify: "Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill
will not apply to members of Congress.

No wonder they did not see the
need to read it..doesn't apply to them!!! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO STAND UP
TO WASHINGTON ..I don't know if we can do anything, but awareness
helps.

Shave & Haircut

SHAVE & HAIRCUT

An old man walks into the barbershop for a shave and a haircut, but he tells the barber he can't get all his whiskers off because his cheeks are wrinkled from age.

The barber gets a little wooden ball from a cup on the shelf and tells him to put it inside his cheek to spread out the skin.

When he's finished, the old man tells the barber that was the cleanest shave he's had in years. But he wanted to know what would have happened if he had swallowed that little ball.


The barber replied, "You would just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does."

Great WWII Story

This story is confirmed in Elmer Bendiner's book, The Fall of Fortresses.

*Sometimes, it's not really just luck.*


Elmer Bendiner was a navigator in a B-17 during WW II. He tells this story of a World War II bombing run over Kassel, Germany , and the unexpected result of a direct hit on their gas tanks. "Our B-17, the Tondelayo, was barraged by flak from Nazi antiaircraft guns. That was not unusual, but on this particular occasion our gas tanks were hit.

Later, as I reflected on the miracle of a 20 millimeter shell piercing the fuel tank without touching off an explosion, our pilot, Bohn Fawkes, told me it was not quite that simple. "On the morning following the raid, Bohn had gone down to ask our crew chief for that shell as a souvenir of unbelievable luck. The crew chief told Bohn that not just one shell but 11 had been found in the gas tanks. 11 unexploded shells where only one was sufficient to blast us out of the sky. It was as if the sea had been parted for us. A near-miracle, I thought.

Even after 35 years, so awesome an event leaves me shaken, especially after I heard the rest of the story from Bohn. "He was told that the shells had been sent to the armorers to be defused. The armorers told him that Intelligence had picked them up. They could not say why at the time, but Bohn eventually sought out the answer. "Apparently when the armorers opened each of those shells, they found no explosive charge. They were as clean as a whistle and just as harmless.

Empty? Not all of them! One contained a carefully rolled piece of paper. On it was a scrawl in Czech. The Intelligence people scoured our base for a man who could read Czech. Eventually they found one to decipher the note. It set us marveling. Translated, the note read:


*"This is all we can do for you now..."*
"Using Jewish slave labor is never a good idea."

Who Will Dominate Europe?

Unless America turns around and finds its true self again, there can only be two winners in Europe: Imperial Islam or Imperial Russia.

A Europe that cannot defend itself needs an outside power to protect it. The United States has played that role since the end of World War II. We could do it, because we were a serious power, the most civilized protective power in history.

Today, under a liberal foreign policy establishment, led by Obama, Hillary, Kerry, and all the other little dwarves, the United States is withdrawing its military protection from its allies. In Europe, Obama has signaled that the U.S. will not protect the Ukraine, much less Crimea. Russia now has a naval port in Syria and is establishing a naval presence in Venezuela and Cuba.

Obama’s “red lines” are a joke.

Everybody except liberals are seeing danger: If the United States withdraws from the Gulf, the Mediterranean, the Atlantic, and Pacific, our allies must scramble for protection.

Russia is the logical protector for the morally flabby welfare states of Europe. In France, the nationalist party of Marine Le Pen has already started overtures to the Russians. It is a logical move, because the French see their country being overrun by millions of Muslims who burn thousands of cars on a regular basis with impunity, to demonstrate their power. Intimidation is a basic principle of jihad. That is the purpose of terror attacks, to spread fear.

The EU does nothing to protect its citizens, showing over and over again that the ruling class has sold out to Arab and Iranian oil money. Tony Blair took millions from Muammar Gaddafi. Jacques Chirac grabbed even more from Saddam Hussein. The neo-fascist Italian Five Star Movement is practically run by Tehran.

Without America, Europe must therefore turn to Moscow, but this time something much closer to the old Russian Empire.

Putin is all about power, in the traditional Russian fashion, and power is fluid. Right now Russia is on one of its expansionist evers, and Putin is likely to get away with it.

Europe has the wealth to buy protection, and Russia has the force of will and moral conviction to fight when necessary.

Putin knows the West because he served as the KGB rezident in East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Through the East German Stasi, the KGB ran spies into the top levels of the West German government -- just as the KGB penetrated the British, French, and U.S. 
governments. Putin has little faith in liberal dreams, having seen them in reality. Putin is a very smart, ruthless, and realistic man. He is surrounded by people like himself.

Obama is withdrawing U.S. military protection from our allies, on the historically dubious bet that everything will turn out all right. Like millions of fatuous liberals, Obama thinks that a world-governing socialism is the answer. UN-believers live for such fantasies. They are eager to trade American independence for their fuzzy dreams.

Unless America turns around and finds its true self again, there can only be two winners in Europe: Imperial Islam or Imperial Russia.

Both of them spell the end of American world power. The rule of international power is, and has always been, if you don’t control your destiny, some more ruthless power will do so.






On The Border

Russia steals the Crimea away from Ukraine.
Russian oil pipelines run through eastern Ukraine  in route to the ports in the Crimea.
If you were Putin, wouldn’t you invade and capture eastern Ukraine to protect those pipelines?
If you were Obama, wouldn’t you go golfing?
Pentagon concerned that Russia is about to invade Ukraine
U.S. officials are saying that Russian troops have been flooding into the region along the border with Ukraine in the last few days. The estimates of the number of troops range from 30,000 to 80,000, with Ukrainian officials claiming that the number is as high as 100,000.
NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Gen. Philip Breedlove, has said that the Russian force on the border "is very, very sizable and very, very ready." Since the Russian troops are deployed right on the edge of Ukraine's border, if they do invade then there'll be no advance warning, and no chance for Ukraine's forces to react.
A U.S. defense official says that if Russia were to invade, then this would be "far from a bloodless event as we saw in Crimea," although the Ukrainian army would be defeated. It's possible that the Russian forces could push through Ukraine to the other end very quickly, to annex Moldova's separatist territory Transdniestria, which is on Ukraine's western border.

VOA and AFP and Fox News

I Have A Plan To Destroy America

Former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm presented this plan back in 2003 as a warning of what could happen in the USA if we didn’t wake up to these threats.  
It appears the plan is well on track.

I have a plan to destroy America
by Richard D. Lamm

I have a secret plan to destroy America. If you believe, as many do, that America is too smug, too white bread, too self-satisfied, too rich, let’s destroy America. It is not that hard to do. History shows that nations are more fragile than their citizens think. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time. Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and they all fall, and that “an autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit suicide.” Here is my plan:

1. We must first make America a bilingual-bicultural country. History shows, in my opinion, that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to be bilingual; it is a curse for a society to be bilingual. One scholar, Seymour Martin Lipset, put it this way: “The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with its Basques, Bretons and Corsicans.”

2. I would then invent “multiculturalism” and encourage immigrants to maintain their own culture. I would make it an article of belief that all cultures are equal: that there are no cultural differences that are important. I would declare it an article of faith that the black and Hispanic dropout rate is only due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other explanation is out-of-bounds.

3. We can make the United States a “Hispanic Quebec” without much effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently, “The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been achieved, not by tolerance, but by hegemony. Without the dominance that once dictated ethnocentrically, and what it meant to be an American, we are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.” I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with a salad bowl metaphor. It is important to insure that we have various cultural sub-groups living in America reinforcing their differences, rather than Americans emphasizing their similarities.

4. Having done all this, I would make our fastest-growing demographic group the least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated, undereducated and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50 percent dropout rate from school.

5. I would then get the big foundations and big business to give these efforts lots of money. I would invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of victimology. I would get all minorities to think their lack of success was all the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry blaming all minority failure on the majority population.
6. I would establish dual citizenship and promote divided loyalties. I would “celebrate diversity.” “Diversity” is a wonderfully seductive word. It stresses differences rather than commonalities. Diverse people worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other–that is, when they are not killing each other. A “diverse,” peaceful or stable society is against most historical precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation together, and we can take advantage of this myopia.
Look at the ancient Greeks. Dorf’s “World History” tells us: “The Greeks believed that they belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and literature; and they worshiped the same gods. All Greece took part in the Olympic Games in honor of Zeus, and all Greeks venerated the shrine of Apollo at Delphi. A common enemy, Persia, threatened their liberty. Yet, all of these bonds together were not strong enough to overcome two factors … (local patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political divisions …)” If we can put the emphasis on the “pluribus,” instead of the “unum,” we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo.

7. Then I would place all these subjects off-limits–make it taboo to talk about. I would find a word similar to “heretic” in the 16th century that stopped discussion and paralyzed thinking. Words like “racist”, “xenophobe” halt argument and conversation. Having made America a bilingual-bicultural country, having established multiculturalism, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of “victimology,” I would next make it impossible to enforce our immigration laws. I would develop a mantra –”because immigration has been good for America, it must always be good.” I would make every individual immigrant sympatric and ignore the cumulative impact.


8. Lastly, I would censor Victor Davis Hanson’s book “Mexifornia” –this book is dangerous; it exposes my plan to destroy America. So please, please–if you feel that America deserves to be destroyed–please, please–don’t buy this book! This guy is on to my plan.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

What would you have been doing in the middle ages?
See what the Internet thinks your medieval profession would have been:

A Concerned Citizen's Suggestion

Dump the male flight attendants.  No one wanted them in the first place.... Replace all the female flight attendants with good-looking strippers!  What the hell - they don't serve food anymore, so what's the loss?

The strippers would triple the alcohol sales and get a 'party atmosphere' going in the cabin.  And, of course, every businessman in the country would start flying again, expecting to see naked women.

Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving even more money.  The tips would be so good we could charge the 'ladies' for working the plane and have them kick back 20% of the tips, including lap dances and "special services."

Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women.  Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues.

This is definitely a win-win situation if we handle it right - a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset. Why didn't Bush or Obama think of this?

Why do I still have to do everything myself?

Sincerely,


Bill Clinton

The Socialist Democratic Party

The Fundamental Transformation of America
Hitler’s regime was founded on his premise, “We are Socialists, we are enemies of the capitalistic economic system…and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” His Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels: “To be a socialist is to submit the I to the thou; socialism is sacrificing the individual to the whole.”
This is precisely the principle upon which Barack Hussein Obama and his contemporary cadres of Socialist Democrats are following as they endeavor to raise a socialist government by undermining free enterprise.
Indeed, Democratic Socialism, like Nationalist Socialism, is nothing more than Marxist Socialism repackaged. It seeks a centrally planned economy directed by a dominant-party state that controls economic production by way of taxation, regulation and income redistribution. The success of Democrat Socialism depends upon supplanting Essential Liberty – the rights “endowed by our Creator” – primarily by refuting such endowment.
Noted Russian dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn, no stranger to the consequences of statism, wrote, “Socialism of any type leads to a total destruction of the human spirit.”
Notably, regardless of the populist variant of Socialism, the consequences of of all three are tyranny. For those who are offended by the comparison of Democratic Socialism to Nationalist and Marxist Socialism, neither Stalin nor Hitler were guilty of exterminating “enemies of the state” until they had ascended to political positions affording consolidation of power in their respective Socialist states. The terminus of Socialism under any label, is tyranny. As Von Hayek observed, “Many who think themselves infinitely superior to the aberrations of Nazism, and sincerely hate all manifestations, work at the same time for ideals whose realization would lead straight to the abhorred tyranny.”
So what do these observations have to do with the current state of economic and political affairs in our great nation? Unfortunately, more than most Americans currently realize.
However discomforting this fact might be, there is abundant and irrefutable evidence that Barack Hussein Obama and his socialist cadre are endeavoring to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” with a debt bomb, the future shockwave of which, they surmise, will break the back of free enterprise. From the ashes of that cataclysm, Obama and his ilk envision restructuring our national economy as a Democrat Socialism State.

Ronald Reagan Warned Us About Obama

The difference between Liberty and Tyranny . . .




Ronald Reagan: Freedom is not free!

Very moving video.   Could you imagine Obama ever giving a speech like this one from Ronald Reagan?
  
. You do not have to be a veteran to have goose bumps run down your body. Just watch this quick video and think back. This is an incredibly great video.  Humbles you right down to your toes.  It is one of the best " America Tributes"!!
           





Which Country Is Stepping Away From Socialism?

Let’s follow their example.   We can start by dumping as many Democrats as possible in the 2014 elections . . .

Sweden has become the first of the Western European nations to take a major step away from socialism. According to the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA), “Sweden spent years as a statist economy, with marginal tax rates above 90 percent.  With nationalized healthcare and welfare programs, Sweden had a budget deficit worth 13 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) in 1993 and a government debt at 71 percent of its national output.”  These deficit and debt levels should sound familiar to anyone paying attention to what has happened to America’s economy over the last several decades and particularly during the first six years of the Obama administration.

In the 1990s Swedes began to realize what socialism and statism were doing to the quality of life in their country.  As a result, they elected Sweden’s first conservative government since the end of World War II.  Knowing precisely what needed to be done to pull their nation back from the abyss of economic ruin, Sweden’s new conservative government quickly went to work cutting taxes on businesses and individuals.  Things began to change for the better almost immediately.  Consider the following improvements Sweden has enjoyed since beginning the long, hard road back from socialism and statism (data provided by the NCPA):
·         Between 1993 and 2010, Sweden’s GDP growth exceeded that of the rest of Europe by one full percentage point.  Further, by 2010 public debt had dropped to 37 percent of GDP and taxes on businesses had been decreased to 22 percent (compare this with the 36 percent rate in the United States).
·         Sweden’s political leaders transformed the nation’s retirement pension system from a defined-benefit system into a defined contribution system, thereby saving it from inevitable insolvency.
·         The Swedish Fiscal Policy Council was established and empowered to independently monitor and evaluate government fiscal policy.  The Council’s most current recommendation is that Sweden raise its retirement age to protect the long-term solvency of the nation’s retirement system.

These and other free-market initiatives have resulted in an upturn in entrepreneurship in Sweden.  For example, Skype (the VolP service) and Spotify (the music streaming program) both got their starts in Sweden.  Saab, best known as an automaker, is also excelling in the aerospace and aviation industries.  In fact, according to the NCPA Saab has beaten out Boeing for aviation contracts in the past several years.  In a move that should be watched closely by America’s airlines, automakers, and other unionized industries, SAS—the Scandinavian airline—finally posted a profit after six straight years of losses by negotiating with its union to cut pay and retirement benefits.  The rationale of SAS executives in asking for the cuts and the rationale of union leaders in accepting them was simple:  It is better to get a little less than you want than to get nothing when the airline goes bankrupt.

Sweden has not yet weaned itself completely from socialism, but it has made excellent progress.  Socio-economic change is difficult in a democracy.  It typically happens in fits and starts, but as Sweden has shown, it can happen.  What Sweden began in the 1990s is what America will need to begin in 2016.  But, as it did in Sweden, this will require electing a conservative government.  Let us hope and pray that the American electorate will show the good sense shown by its counterpart in Sweden.
