Everyday our liberties and freedom come under fire. The American Republic once protected its citizens from arbitrary abuse, extortion, and deliberate social engineering. Now the very same public servants who were meant to work for us connive daily on how to control our lives. The Republic is gone and we are left to fend for ourselves, to put up resistance to every encroachment on individual self-determination. The Freedom Under Fire Report provides daily coverage of the most important issues, so that you remain informed and ready to defend yourself.

The Senate seems set to pass an $820 billion spending bill dubbed a “stimulus package.” President Obama calls the bill absolutely essential and warns of economic catastrophe if swift action is not taken in Congress.
Not everyone agrees that this unprecedented spending package should be passed. In fact, South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, whose state would be a beneficiary of the largess, claims the legislation will mean economic disaster.
Governor Sanford is far more eloquent than I, so you can watch him explain himself here:
Embedded video from <a href=”http://www.cnn.com/video” mce_href=”http://www.cnn.com/video”>CNN Video</a>
The main takeaways:
- America is turning into a political economy: The key to success is having the right Washington D.C. connections, not actually running a good business
- Congress is trying to fix a problem caused by too much borrowing and spending by borrowing and spending on an unprecedented scale
- The U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio is at a critical tipping point (government has borrowed too much!), which is increasing the risk of our currency collapsing
It looks like Republicans have a rising star in Mark Sanford.
