I am not a financial advisor, and am not going to give you financial advice. I am merely going to explain to you what I think will be your best investment in 2010.

As we all have seen and been following our economy is in the tank. Unemployment is at a high, interest rates are on the rise, Federal Govt. debt is skyrocketing, and Goldman Sachs is shorting banks. We are staring straight into a financial situation that is fundamentally changing our country. So with real estate gone, the dollar on its way, and the stock market so volatile few are investing what should you do?

Here is why:

1. A conservative will slow spending and decrease our national debt- If we can slow the amount of spending at the federal level there is a chance to slow the disintegration of the dollar. The more debt that we continue to amass, the further into the hole our dollar goes, and with the whole world betting against the US at this point there is a lot of pressure on the Dollar.
2. A conservative will fight to audit the Fed. -The Fed has been running unchecked for many years now, and it needs to be reeled in if not shut down. There has to be more accountability and transparency. For our Congress to not be able to check the powers of the Fed is not right and a violation of our Constitutional rights.
   
3. A conservative will lower taxes – Cutting spending and lowering taxes is absolutely critical to our financial sustainability. We know that lower taxes is the only real stimulus that has ever worked. We have to put money back in the hands of entrepreneurs as they are the engine to our economy and the creator of jobs.
   
4. A conservative will kill ridiculous regulation – Our country is being held hostage by the “Administrative Branch” of our Govt. The EPA, and the Dept. of Education just to name a few. We must cut these bogus programs that do nothing but give bureaucrats jobs and write outrageous legislation that cripples out economy and demands massive debt and higher taxes. 
   

The best investment that you can make in 2010 is to find good conservative candidates and donate the maximum that you can. There has never been a greater need to make sure that good candidates are well funded. They are putting themselves out there, spending thousands of their own money, and we have to support them. We must donate to these solid candidates, and we must do it now. We need to make sure that they are flush with cash. This does not meant that you have to give thousands of dollars to each candidate. What it means is that you need to give the most that you can, the absolute most that you possibly can muster. This is after all the best investment you can make in 2010.
