Last week Congress did something fiscally responsible. Its not very often I can say that. Granted, it was small in the grand scheme of things, but I was glad to be an original cosponsor, along with Congressman Harry Mitchell of Arizona, of a bill to block the automatic pay raise that Congress otherwise receives every year. Every Member of Congress gets this raise unless it is expressly voted down. For the second year in a row Congress has voted to freeze its own pay, which, in a time of skyrocketing deficits and high unemployment, is the very least Congress can do.

The country is in a serious recession, bordering on depression. Unemployment is grossly underreported, and not likely to get better anytime soon. American citizens and businesses are overtaxed, yet tax revenues still fall far short of our governments voracious appetite for spending. This is no time to raise taxes. And since congressional salaries come from tax revenue, allowing ourselves a raise would fly in the face of economic reality.

Of course, Congress ignores economic reality all the time. But if Congress can freeze salaries as a first step towards fiscal sanity, it can freeze- if not drastically cut- a vast array of federal expenditures.

At the very least, Congress could freeze current spending levels, instead of constantly increasing them. We could stop increasing the debt ceiling every few months, as has become our habit. We could freeze regulations that add to the burden on our struggling small businesses. We could freeze intrusive bailouts that upset the balance of the market and cost us billions billions we could instead use to eliminate the oppressive income tax! We could freeze the money supply and stave off the tsunami of inflation the Fed has been generating for years.

Furthermore, we could address the mismanagement and waste in foreign affairs which adds immensely to our budget. Like entitlements, militarism is expensive. We need to reject sanctions as a precursor to military action, and embrace free trade as the most effective method for spreading liberty. After all, as the great economist Frederic Bastiat said – when goods dont cross borders, armies will. It is time to bring our troops home, instead of instigating expensive new wars when were already hopelessly mired in several conflicts already. We need to rethink the whole idea of pre-emptive war- not only because its wrong and counterproductive, but because we literally cannot afford it!

We could do much to restore fiscal sanity to this country simply by stopping the madness and bringing our troops home from Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea, Japan, Germany, and so many other places. This costly global empire does not serve the interests of the American people and we should end it peacefully and voluntarily now, lest it end in chaos later.

Though it may be wishful thinking on my part, Im encouraged by the small step taken by Congress last week. Fiscal sanity can begin with a small step, and I want to encourage Congress to move in this direction.

Lately many have characterized this administration as socialist, or having strong socialist leanings. I differ with this characterization. This is not to say Mr. Obama believes in free-markets by any means. On the contrary, he has done and said much that demonstrates his fundamental misunderstanding and hostility towards the truly free market. But a closer, honest examination of his policies and actions in office reveals that, much like the previous administration, he is very much a corporatist. This in many ways can be more insidious and worse than being an outright socialist.

Socialism is a system where the government directly owns and manages businesses. Corporatism is a system where businesses are nominally in private hands, but are in fact controlled by the government. In a corporatist state, government officials often act in collusion with their favored business interests to design polices that give those interests a monopoly position, to the detriment of both competitors and consumers.

A careful examination of the policies pursued by the Obama administration and his allies in Congress shows that their agenda is corporatist. For example, the health care bill that recently passed does not establish a Canadian-style government-run single payer health care system. Instead, it relies on mandates forcing every American to purchase private health insurance or pay a fine. It also includes subsidies for low-income Americans and government-run health care exchanges. Contrary to the claims of the proponents of the health care bill, large insurance and pharmaceutical companies were enthusiastic supporters of many provisions of this legislation because they knew in the end their bottom lines would be enriched by Obamacare.

Similarly, Obama’s cap-and-trade legislation provides subsidies and specials privileges to large businesses that engage in carbon trading. This is why large corporations, such as General Electric support cap-and-trade.

To call the President a corporatist is not to soft-pedal criticism of his administration. It is merely a more accurate description of the Presidents agenda.

When he is a called a socialist, the President and his defenders can easily deflect that charge by pointing out that the historical meaning of socialism is government ownership of industry; under the Presidents policies, industry remains in nominally private hands. Using the more accurate term corporatism – forces the President to defend his policies that increase government control of private industries and expand de facto subsidies to big businesses. This also promotes the understanding that though the current system may not be pure socialism, neither is it free-market since government controls the private sector through taxes, regulations, and subsidies, and has done so for decades.

Using precise terms can prevent future statists from successfully blaming the inevitable failure of their programs on the remnants of the free market that are still allowed to exist. We must not allow the disastrous results of corporatism to be ascribed incorrectly to free market capitalism or used as a justification for more government expansion. Most importantly, we must learn what freedom really is and educate others on how infringements on our economic liberties caused our economic woes in the first place. Government is the problem; it cannot be the solution.

Let the battle begin! It’s a full-fledged style war and today we’re letting you guys pick. Does Taylor Swift look better with straight or curly hair? Get the scoop up next!

Hey guys, welcome back to ClevverTV. I’m your host Joslyn Davis and like I said, it’s an all out battle today, as we decide whether T-Swift looks better with straight or curly locks. But first off, let’s just say that yes, we know she would look great even if she was bald, but for the sake of pure fun, let’s get this war started!

First up, let’s talk straight. We don’t see Swifty rocking the straight hair very often, but when we do, it’s always a hit. Like when T hit the town in NYC with her long blonde hair straightened and she was sporting some super-chic bangs too. She really took the messy straight look to the next level for her amazing spread in Elle magazine. She almost looks like a totally different, high fashion version of herself. A bit edgier and funkier. And the bangs are amazing.

But of course, at the foundation of Taylor’s trademark style is her gorgeous naturally curly hair. Over the years, even the type of curls on her head have evolved. When we first saw T a few years back, her super platinum curls were a bit wild and untamed, but as she’s gotten older and more sophisticated, they’ve been tamed down a bit and appear more put together and polished.

Taylor’s amazing and bouncy curls are coveted by women around the world who want to recreate her look for themselves. And we hear that the trick to getting the perfect curl is to actually curl over naturally wavy hair with a curling iron.

And what love about Taylor’s approach to hair is that she totally embraces her natural look. Instead of trying to constantly change it, she just makes it look even better. And she’s also not afraid to take risks and spice things up by going straight from time to time.

So that was the Swifty hair breakdown. Now you guys be the judges and let us know which style would be the winner in a battle between straight and curly. Give us your pick in the comments section. And stick with ClevverTV for more non-stop fashion, beauty and entertainment coverage. If that’s not enough to quench your need for scoop – friend us over at facebook.com/clevvertv. I’m Joslyn Davis – thanks for watching!
