(5 posts)It's the Long Con. Republicans perfected it. Since NAFTA, the Democratics in power have enabled it.
The Big Land Grab
Phase 1 - 1980's S&L scandals. Big money - big loss of homes. Some players got some time. Not too many. Change some regs, loosen it up. Next year. Next year...
Phase 2 - 2008 Crash. Who could have believed they LOOSENED bank regs after the previous housing crash. And not only no one goes to jail - but they get multi-million dollar bonuses! Ameica! Freedom!
Phase 3 - 2013 DEPRESSION continues. Land grab ramps up with loss of government aid. Privatization of schools. Privatization of transportation. Water privatization, here we come! and as soon as water is privatized, the U.S. of A. is now OFFICIALLY a 3rd world country. Wave your flag. Shoot off your gun.
The LONG CON. Brilliant.
