Sorry about the delay, but I needed some time to get my bearings post election.
I have been working on some other projects. One is the Belleporte Institute. It is a local policy think tank focusing on liberty.
I have also made a website to assist Kenosha's citizens save money in this harsh economic climate. The site is Kenoshare.com.
I hope to have my josephkexel.com converted away from my congressional bid soon.
With all the web sites and my business, I am pretty busy. I am looking forward to 2010, though.

Thank you, everyone!
Unfortunately, taking on an incumbent is very difficult. Yet, I offer my gratitude to all those who voted for me. I beg everyone who voted for me to continue the fight by contacting me at liberty4all@josephkexel.com, ASAP. I am not sure how long the website will be up, so I would like to receive contact information, soon.
We have a lot of work to do resisting the socialism which Obama and Congress will soon be pushing upon us. History is on our side. Socialism always fails for it removes the incentive to work and to produce, leaving no wealth to redistribute. Socialism is a dead end. Only together can we protect liberty. I ask for contact information, so we may continue our efforts to return our nation sound constitutional governance.
I have not decided to run in 2010, yet. Another run will depend on people like yourselves keeping the pressure on in pursuit of liberty. If, there is some support for it, I would likely run, again. Hopefully, with your encouragement, we can scale it up a bit!
I certainly intend to keep my blog going in support of liberty, so check back. This domain will be redirected to my blog, eventually.
Liberty, Peace and Prosperity to all!

Kexel Discusses Economic Plan
Joseph Kexel, running as a Libertarian for Representative in Congress of Wisconsin's First District, offers a rebuttal to Ryan and Krupp on economic policy.
Kenosha, WI, October 29, 2008 – Joseph Kexel, Libertarian candidate for Congress of Wisconsin's First District, was disappointed he was not invited to the forum hosted at Carthage College on Tuesday evening. “If, you truly wish to see a diverse set of ideas over economic policy, bring a Libertarian to the table.”, said Kexel.
Kexel has an economic plan for America, that is as simple as it is bold. Kexel continued, “My economic plan is to follow the Constitution. We have been ignoring that important document for far too long. We must get back to sound constitutional governance.”
“Only by reducing the federal government to its correct role in our society, will we be able to reap the economic benefits our constitution guarantees for us. Liberty is a winning solution to our economic woes.”, Kexel said. Kexel sees his plan's huge reduction in federal spending putting real money into the hands of every American, stimulating our economy.
To start, he calls for a tax rebate that does not add to the budget deficit. “I want to see a rebate that is completely offset by permanent budget cuts, so the tax break will be perpetual, boosting our economy forever.”, said Kexel.
Removing the federal government from the markets is a very important part of Kexel's plan. Kexel explained, “We have seen the result of intrusion into the financial markets by our government. It has brought about the near destruction of our economy. The federal government is responsible for most of the credit crisis, for they created the Community Reinvestment Act, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which are well known to be at the center of this mess. They, also, refused to rein in the Federal Reserve which led to an inflationary monetary policy. The CRA, the secondary mortgage market and the wild and loose Fed, all managed by our federal government, caused this problem.”
“The free market would have prevented bad loans for banks would have had to live with them, so they would have resisted offering them. With a wise monetary policy, the housing bubble would have been impossible for it would have been starved of the Fed's unlimited credit. We must remove the federal government from our economy. The free market works, if we only let it.”, said Kexel.
“Returning to a limited federal government will force consumers to return to their role as the regulators of business. Businesses do not fear the government, for they know enough lobbying will get them some relief. A smart consumer is the most powerful force in our economy. A smart consumer will not go against his own needs and values. Those smart consumers must be in control of the fruits of their labor, so they may make economic decisions on their own behalf. We must cut spending, pay our debt and eliminate taxes. I want to see tax freedom day pushed back, way back, to January 1st from its current April 23rd date.”, Kexel said.
Kexel concluded, “It really is simple, we return our economy back to the people. We embrace liberty and our constitution. The rest will work itself out as the free market returns to functioning normally, without federal interference. Americans are a strong, industrious people and it is time to get back to work. With liberty and the fruits of our labor, there is no limit to the heights our economy will reach.”

The Bailout and Inflation
I would not have voted for the bailout for one simple reason. We have, as a nation, borrowed too much and have severely inflated our monetary system. The bailout plus the sweeteners will demand a $850 billion loan from the Federal Reserve. Without deducting any numbers from anyone's account, they have still robbed America by devaluing the dollar. The banks will be able to loan over $6 trillion once they sell off their bad loans.
We must be clear that continuing on this course will drive the dollar into the toilet. That flushing sound is the US dollar taking the economy with it.
Another real concern is the banks are not going to sell the valuable loans first, they will unload the worst of the worst upon the American people. To believe we will get our money back is naive.
I know by voting no, I would have risked a dramatic downturn in the economy. I would stand by that for I feel the devaluation of the dollar will create a more disabling effect on the economy than any short term credit crisis. It was a choice of taking a sucker punch in the gut today versus taking a bullet to the chest in the future. I truly believe it is that grave of a situation.
Unfortunately, the vote won out and we will have to live with the consequences. I suggest looking for good deals on canned goods and buying in bulk. Your wallet is going to be getting additionally devalued dollars, soon. I recommend everyone view "Money as Debt". You can find it here: http://josephkexel.com/Links.html

Hell NO! Call your congressman and senators today!
The bailout contains the following text:
"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."
This is not acceptable. Period! The Bush administration seems hell bent to destroy all the checks and balances afforded to us in the Constitution. Call everyone you know ASAP!

My goodness!!! $1,000,000,000,000 bailout!!!!!!
The biggest joke regarding this fiasco is that few people in power are willing to accept blame for this. The CRA, Community Reinvestment Act, from the Carter administration created a system whereby banks would be coerced to make bad loans in order to be "fair" to those unable to secure a traditional loan. The banks did as the act demanded and soon held a lot of bad debt.
Fortunately, our friends Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were there to help those banks out by buying those loans and repackaging them as investments. Soon, brokerages were buying them and the loose monetary policies (low interest rates) of the Federal Reserve fueled the whole mess to the stratospheric heights from where we see it come crashing down. This was not a regulatory failure. Our government made a system of the CRA, the secondary mortgage market and the Federal Reserve which fueled the sub-prime (ill advised) mortgage market. It was not a lack of oversight by our government, but the creative intervention by our government to make the mortgage market into something it was not supposed to be, a social engineering program.
NOTE:
* Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are private corporations created by Congress to create the secondary mortgage market.
* The Federal Reserve is a privately owned banking cartel sanctioned by our government to create dollars out of thin air.
