A moment about politics (do not read)

Well, we have a new president, and his plan is going into action.  But what exactly is his plan, and how do we know if it will succeed?  Even though all his actions may suggest a dive into socialism, I dont think thats where we will go.  We may drive by it, but please dont get out of the car when we do, we would hate to leave you behind.  Lets look at a funny story that came out of Russia for example.
Recently, Sect of State Hillary Clinton went on a tour (in fact as I write I think she is stil on it.) and one of her stops was Russia, or is it the Soviet Region?  USSR?  Well whatever, she visited Medevevnenchkov and gave him a gift from President Barry O.  It was a "Reset" button, and it was red (ha ha remember the cold war).  So the word written on the "reset" button was "peregruzka," which according to the russian fellow was the wrong word.  He explained the word on the button was russian for "overcharge."  Ha ha foreign nationalized companies doing contract work with our tax dollars, cookie anyone?
So, how does this tie into the Barry O. plan?  how can this get us to the utopian concept of actual free markets.  AAAAHHHHHHH  did he just say utopian and free markets together!!!  The utopian is where everyone is fed, and everyone has medicine, and a home, and good education, and the liberty to choose their form of worship.  And this kind of utopia is not available with out a strong government to watch it, right?
How does puoring cash into multiple markets, and from the pockets of the wealthy help improve the free markets?  The reality lies somewhere in your answer to these questions.  What is money and where does its history lie?  How does barter differ from cash purchase?  And then a research question:  How much has the price of gold gone up in the past five years? (you can go to kitco.com for gold charts)
