Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    The governments credit is always good.

    it's a giant stack of IOU's just like social security.

    Typo - You meant 9 TRILLION (and the REAL debt is close to SIXTY TRILLION, including off-balance sheet future liabilities -- ie -- entitlements!)

    HERE IS YOUR ANSWER:
    Europe Adds HALF TRILLION to Credit Markets -- translation, Europe SIGNIFICANTLY INFLATES \ DEVALUES the Euro to save America.

    :D

    In case ya'll don't know, the Euro is in a bit of a down trend against the dollar for the past month (for no good reason, dollar "oversold" maybe) ... the European Central Bank just jumped at this as an opportunity to disguise some inflation and help bail out America.

    Interesting Side Note: Notice that the ECB inflating their currency had NO AFFECT ON LIBOR because Libor is a MARKET SET RATE, unlike US interest rates "set" by the Fed!

    That was quite a typo i made there. 9 trillion is a bucket load more than 9 billion and well 60 trillion isn't even worth thinking about.

    It is passed on to the next generation and the one after that.
    The non-military adults cheering this war on today will feel no pain (physically, emotionally or financially). The small percentage of Americans in the battle zone are the only ones bearing the burden... and your kids and grandkids are going to be left holding the check.

    Oh what's the big deal.

    If they come up short, in some other area; they can just print more money.

    Hell, it's only paper. You know, paper....what we use to wipe our butts with.

    500 billion injection means 5 trillion in loans in the 1:10 marginal reserve system. Too bad it won't help much past Christmas.
    No need to be void, or save up on life

    You got to spend it all

    It's a US led initiative to make thin air smooth out the bumps of war.

    I think something really f-ed up is going on. Everyone is kept merrily trapsing along, but behind the scenes big things are happening. I'm not sure too many people realize the implications. I suppose down with Islam, and tighten the grip on everyone globally in the process. This NWO thing does not seem to be taking a rest (ever) if you know what I mean. Population explosion, survival of the fittest maybe there is no option but extermination under false pretences. Gotta make room somehow I suppose...not very comforting thoughts.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
