Money

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!

That's what every one is shouting these days. Gimme, Gimme, Gimme

G.I.V.E..........M.E.

Besides as ol' Everret Dirkson (I think) once said, "A Billion here, a Billion there, pretty soon you're talking about real money.
I suppose it's not difficult to substitute T's for B's.

It seems to me, that one of the things that got us into the economic mess that we find ourselves in today is the creation of trillions of new $ bills and throwing them out into a market place where they artificially jacked up the price of everything from houses to hookers. Easy money is like power.......it corrupts.
Throwing more (like they are going to do, I guaran-damn-tee it), is just going to corrupt even more. The fruit has been drawing fruit flies for a while......it has a way to go before the mold gets fuzzy and the stench drives you out of the house.

We are a long....long....long......long.............long way from seeing the bottom of this particular cesspool. Hope you have your snorkel on.

I asked the question a while ago...how can they keep writing bad checks?? That's what it is.
Insufficient funds.

We get slapped and fined for that.

Oh no, they have plenty of funds, they have only to print it and sign a mortgage to the federal reserve in order to make it so. This is in effect a large part of our national debt. They pay it back by using portions of our lives, represented by federal reserve notes paid to us in exchange for our skills and time, (hence the portion of our lives) that they get from us in the form of taxes.
It will end when we decide that our lives belong to ourselves and we start acting in our own enlightened self interest.
