It’s over — we’re officially, royally fucked. No empire can survive being rendered a permanent laughingstock, which is what happened as of a few weeks ago, when the buffoons who have been running things in this country finally went one step too far.

A marvelous if rather worrying read.
“…the group of psychopaths on Wall Street whom we allowed to gang-rape the American Dream.”
Kaj čemo. Vladajo nam psihopati. Ali ste že čisto zares čisto resno slučajno pomislili kaj to pravzaprav pomeni? Bolje, da niste. Držite se svojega posla in svoje pičke, hihi.
“with an Alien-style death grip on the Treasury and the Federal Reserve,”
Ekonomisti imajo zelo radi grandiozne metafore. Samo iz tega razloga so mi všeč. No,seveda, če si poleg tega ne štejem za slabo, da je moja (do)življenjska (so)potnica tudi ekonomist (ni preveč dobro veste, ugotavljam zadnje čase.Ampak sem raje tiho).

One of the first criticisms of the private Federal Reserve system was Charles August Lindbergh who criticized the problem of private banks working against the best interests of the citizens: “The financial system has been turned over to the Federal Reserve Board. That Board administers the finance system by authority of a purely profiteering group. The system is Private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people’s money.” “
