A consequence of increasing economic intervention by the state is that we are now expected to breed more taxpayers in future and draw down on our state pensions for less time. Our productivity must be improved as well, thereby maximising our state's tax revenues.
With respect to the democratic process, is this really what we have signed up for? It is hardly surprising that we are losing individual freedom. We are now working for the state, instead of the state working for us.

Waltzek and Murphy also discuss the instability of the U.S. banking system.
The discussion is 11 minutes long and can be heard at GoldSeek here:

JUNEAU -- In the final days of the legislative session, the Alaska House passed a bill that would allow gold and silver to be used as legal tender.
House Bill 3, introduced by Big Lake Republican Rep. Kevin McCabe, would allow business owners to decide if they want to accept the precious metals as currency. The coin or bar would need to be refined and its value would need to be authenticated, so gold dust or nuggets could not be used.
