Deal or no deal

by Kathy Fisher

The way I see it the Fed has hijacked the nation and they want the world! They want to be the Overseers of the entire financial system. They are the praetorian guard for the corrupt capitalists.

Let's talk about CORRUPTION: The American people have also been corrupted, whether they realize it or not. They have been made accessories to the crimes of the Feds. Yes they are

But I guarantee if the NEW DEAL was rewritten to RESCUE them, give THEM loans to catch up with their debts and forgive ALL their debts, starting out on a clean slate, it would be looked upon as a bailout for the workers/the middle class, who just happened to fall on some hard times and got themselves bamboozled by some thieves.
partners in crime with the very people they claim to be trying to detach themselves from. How so?

They have no values any more. They have accepted credit cards, bad deals on homes, anything to get something they want NOW! ASAP! That is very dangerous. In their world of false securities there's no need for saving money any more (they have been lured to believe that they have job security and their 401-k s are in a lock box, also safe and secure!). Over three generations don't know the meaning of putting away some cash for a down payment on a home they plan on living in for 30 years! Years of good PR and brainwashing has created this new breed. It's easy now that each generation primes the next.

In the last ten years it has become clear that there will not be any revolution. What will they revolt about, a better deal on their mortgage? A lower rate on a credit card? Eight years instead of four to pay for a new car? Will this be their demands? Better wages to pay for more things while keeping the same system of bad, bloated, crooked government in place?

The few not the majority are out there in the streets screaming NO BAILOUT for the fat cats and the rich. Enough is enough! But I guarantee if the NEW DEAL was rewritten to RESCUE them, give THEM loans to catch up with their debts and forgive ALL their debts, starting out on a clean slate, it would be looked upon as a bailout for the workers/the middle class, who just happened to fall on some hard times and got themselves bamboozled by some thieves.

And then the outcry would come from the other side, yelling and screaming that it's Marxist & Socialistic to bail out working people who are capable of negotiating deals on a personal level with their employees and should have known better not to fall for such schemes in the first place...

And in the end no matter which way it goes we're all still left with the Fed, the people who got us into this mess in the first place. The Fed with the grip on everything -- like an octopus it never runs out of tentacles.

The deal I'm for is the one that rids us of the Fed once and for all!

Maybe I've over simplified it too much, maybe I have it all wrong. I'm sure you'll all let me know.

Comment:   (10/02/2008)   Oversimplified, you ask, Kathy? Well, no offense, but yeah, I think so. You write it well but it's awfully easy to paint the Federal Reserve as the big bad wolf. Lots of people worry too much about the Fed like it's some spooky conspiracy theory, but that isn't really the problem.

Any system needs management, and the Fed isn't the management I'd prefer -- the economy ought to be managed by government officials answerable to we the people. But you don't seriously think any of the scumbag crony government officials in the Bush era would be any more responsible running a governmentalized Fed than they've been at managing the stupid wars and natural disasters and everything else they've screwed up, do you?

The Fed is a minor problem that needs to be fixed, but the crux of the crisis is cronyism, criminality, and corruption. It hardly matters whether the c c & c is private or federalized.   Cindy B.      PERMANENT LINK
