How can we expect things not to go wrong when we have corporations "contributing" millions of dollars to congress to pass or make laws that favor business. We as Americans should think of this as corporations bribing the government to pass laws to screw the middle-class by making wall street happy. It's a never ending circle while the 99% is suffering Taking money out of politics is a start. Then taking the drunk Ben Bernake to A.A. should be next!

   &n bsp; President Obama's first mistake was keeping the Bush economic team around. These people should have been the first people, "out the door". The new fed chairman should have been the woman from the San Francisco Federal Reserve who fell out of favor with Allan Greenspan for speaking the truth. The "crash" could have been engineered in such a way as to make it a slow motion controled "crash". Next, stock purchases would have to done with real people with real money.        &n bsp; Mostly I laugh to keep from crying. I made a list of books that I call "required reading" based on the authors you have interviewed and I an passing his around so people will read these books. You don't have to chopp off heads, maybe we should make the banker's and their children become endentured servents of 3-7 generations.

what most fail to realise is that the monetary system itself is the problem - the debt is built into it. If you are unaware as to how the Fed or any other central bank creates money/debt (they are the same thing) i suggest you watch "zeitgeist addendum". The cyclical depresions and the defaults of debt is inherent IT HAS TO HAPPEN. All money is debt and all debt is money. Put simply it is impossible to pay off all debts because A) there would be NO money left whatsoever B) Interest is charged on most debts and is money that was never created. Capitalism Socialism Comunism or another ISM for that matter will not solve hummantys problems because they all revolve around the monetary system. What is required is something radical and never before attempted.Technology solves our problems. Do expect politicians to solve problems - they dont know how. Put simply - the monetary system is increasingly becoming a false system. It does not solve our problems. Allow technology to do the job that these jokers are incapable of doing. Stop being wage slaves and rebel against the false system of monetayism and crony capitalists.
