Of, by, for the people my ass! It's a f'ing game to them and they're more concerned about how the for/against numbers come out than the meat of, or the even the actual necessity of this bail out in the first place. It's been made
politically necessary by the cries of crisis, depression and this artificial Friday deadline that have created nothing but FUD. This entire process is for nothing but appearances, the Kleptos will get their bailout and the rest of the world will continue to get the shaft.

This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial Banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash or credit. If the Banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless position is almost incredible, but there it is. It is the most important subject intelligent persons can investigate and reflect upon. It is so important that our present civilization may collapse unless it becomes widely understood and the defects remedied very soon.
