Actually it’s been Congress doing the fiddling instead of legislating.

According to the Constitution, Congress is supposed to be in charge of the monetary system, not some bank that they set up because they didn’t want to be bothered.

SEND IN THE TAX CHEAT!
ARodney said, 10 months ago
You mean Romney? You’re right, calling a dressage horse a $77,000 business expense is world-class tax cheating. I can’t write off my dog. I should declare it a corporation. Is that how it’s done? Maybe if Romney promised to close some of the unfair loopholes that he uses as a matter of course, he’d get a little respect, but he crows about them and calls us suckers for not being rich enough to game the system like he does. Who knew that the “foreigner” running for president is actually the Republican (based on what he said about his Cayman Island accounts)?

I’ve said it before — it seems as if the same mistakes made 100 years ago are being made all over again./
False prosperity, Immigrant resentment, Banking and Industrial greed coming through now. Next, mad-dog nationalism, war, temporary propsperity. Then, Depression and another, worse war./
As always, politicians will fail to act, except in their own interests.

Then none of this mess is Bush’s fault at all, this mess is the fault of the Democrat Controlled House and Senate from January 2007 to January 2010

Except that it is actually true. The Fed only has certain strategies available. And it has even fewer when a party as the GOP continues to pursue every tool at its disposal to tank the economy.

Actually, Greenspan dropped the lighter in the trash can, but they KEPT HIM ON! Even HE admitted he was wrong, but only after he left.

Is there no one who will step up and protect the average guy on main street? The radical rich have built a shield around themselves — first of lobbiests, then of congress. “We the people” live here, but we don’t own the country, or run it.

Yes there are crypto-fascists who will ride on the popular waive and use it to finish taking over after putting us into this depression.

We already have war without end, drone executions signed by our president, Bases growing now into African continent now too. Said prosperity has already been shifted to the top 1%. Started it all in 1980 and it has been down hill for the Democratic-Republic and rise of the wealth transference to the top from the Middle Class which has been shrinking since then. Putting us into conditions very similar to what it was in the 1930’s. Too much like it.

You are still playing the partisan game while they rip you and me and everyone else off. Such a blind person you are. They the rich thank you for you lack of vision.
