   WHY didn’t you tell him that John McCain is coming to save the day?

   Did I mention that the plan includes more power for the President and his appointees?

   And McDunb has a better plan, he said so. Oh, that is not correct. He has not read the two and a half page Paulson ‘manifesto’. Or maybe his , advisers, have not had time to read it to him, as they are busy depositing their lobby checks in the Bermuda hideaways.

   The way you phrase it, Stewie, of course not. But there are many people with vastly more insight, understanding, and experience of grappling with economic problems than McCain. And one thing is painfully clear: you can’t have it both ways. You can’t have “unfettered capitalism” and always win every bet. So we will pay the bill for the Republican principle of “free trade – until something goes wrong.” Corporate welfare at its ugliest.

   You keep ignoring the arguments that I, Stewie, Machado, and ConservativeBob have been making about it not being the free markets fault for this crisis.

   In, fact ALL of you have. Stop trying to believe what caused the crisis and actually know what caused it instead.

   I haven’t ignored your arguments, I’ve disagreed with them. I’ve posted responses under one of these other cartoons. Look, read some history of the 19th century. “Boom and bust” was the classic pattern. We had a boom, everyone gets on the bandwagon hoping they can get out before it collapses, now we have a bust. It’s not a difficult concept. The first time we tried to really influence the economy in modern history was probably the post-1929-crash reforms, many of which still stand (like the FDIC). Reagan was one of the champions of “get government off my back,” which to him meant throwing out the rule book. So he did, and we have returned to a 19th century cycle, only much faster because of technological advances and new financial instruments.
   I’m a management consultant. I’ve been seeing this close up for nearly two decades now.

   And what actually caused the crisis is the Federal Reserve. This private consortium of foreign bankers was handed the United States on March 9, 1933, when Roosevelt declared the U.S. bankrupt. This was accomplished through Executive Orders No. 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260. This country is held in receivership by the Fed. The Fed creates each dollar out of thin air and charges us interest on every note. After the Fed was given free reign to be the nation’s central bank, it began the steady erosion of our economy by raising interests rates and creating one crisis after another, culminating in the carefully planned market crash of October 1929, which led to the Great Depression and everybody in America asking for a “hand-out” which was the Social Security number. If you are a “beneficiary” then you are a ward of the State and you have waved all rights. Regardless of who you are voting for, or if you are not voting at all, call your congressman and demand the passage of HB 2755, the Federal Reserve Abolition Act.
