A storm is coming.

The government tells us that we are on the up and up. The recession is ending and economy getting better.

As a student of Austrian economics, I say the exact opposite as do most of my fellow Libertarians.

We understand the business cycle is caused by the increase in quantity of the money supply. Bernanke has printed more new money than any Fed chairman in the entire history of the Fed from 1913 to now.

So I am telling you, the worst is coming. And it's coming soon. This will make the Great Depression look like nothing in comparison.

So you have two opposing predictions. One from our government officials. One from the group of Libertarians who have done their homework on Austrian economics.

When you see the coming crisis as it hits us, I hope you will look back and remember who spoke the truth.

And when the moment hits that you realize there is a group speaking the truth, then perhaps we should listen to their advice on how to get out of the crisis.

The government will blame the free market saying it is out of control and profit motive needs to be curbed by our rulers. They will ask for more of your money to get you out of this free market crisis.

The Libertarians, like myself, will say the truth. That it is government and not the free market that created this crisis. And the solution is in freedom. To keep all your money, not enslave you further by giving more to the state.
To rid ourselves of the miles of regulations.

And most importantly, to rid ourselves of the Federal Reserve System. It is the Fed that gives our government the ability to spend into oblivion. It is they that cause all inflation be increasing the money supply. It is they who bring more corruption to an already corrupt system.

When the crisis comes. And it will within 4 short years. Remember who said it was coming and who said it wasn't.

The School Bus Law

James Fisher

I'm driving behind a school bus today with someone who knows me and my Anti-government philosophy.

As the school bus stopped he asked-"what about the rule that you can't pass a school bus?"

What he wanted to know was if we were absent government, who would make law? This is a common debate for the need of government. Who can make law but government right?

Wrong!

Law is just like language. No one or no government is needed to decide what is the correct language. Yet there is only one correct language for English.

Only one correct spelling for the word "harmonica".

How is that possible? If there is no authority to decide what is right and correct, how does that happen? How is there a correct English language?

Its simple (and the answer is not Websters decides). People speak and write back and forth every second of every day. Websters or Wiki only serves to codify what people are actually using as language. The document the official language, but as people change the language through new uses and spellings, Websters documents those changes. And language is always changing.

In a Free society, law works the same way.

The rules are, what people say and do each and every day. There is no formal law written that you cannot cut someone in line. Yet when someone does it, we can call him on it. This is an example of Libertarian law.

Absent a formal state or government, all law would work the same way. And unlike today where law is a reflection of corrupt politicians whims. Libertarian law would be exactly what all people agree should be.

For example; with government you end up with a law that gambling is illegal, except for the government, they are allowed to hold gambling to their profit.

In a Free or Libertarian society, gambling would just be legal for everyone. Because this is how we as a people would agree on law, we would not care what others do that does not affect us.

Government seeks to give itself a monopoly on gambling profits and it can because it has the guns and power of force.

In a free society absent government, there would be no such monopoly. People would gamble if desired and casinos would be 100 privately owned and its none of anyone's business who gambles, because gambling has no victim other than the gambler himself. And law is not to stop people from hurting themselves. Only to prevent people from hurting others.

Believe it or not, we have a right to hurt ourselves.

But back to the point- Law does not need a central overlord state to be present.

Just a language forms with all the "I before E except after C" rules, so would law form the same way.

Absent the government. Law would be a perfect representation of what people really believe the rules should be.

Just like no cutting in line, no calling others after 9pm, smoking in others cars without asking, all have no government law, yet are still present as rules in our society. So would all law.

If someone murdered absent the government, we wouldn't all wonder if the person was wrong or right to murder. We all would still know murder is against the law!
