Brian Williams: "The world has no money, and the Emperor has no clothes."
Edited on Sun May-09-10 07:02 PM by wildbilln864
What will the market do Monday?

"The "mainstream media" is known for not telling the truth.

But once in a while, they slip..... or they get scared enough and believe that perhaps - just perhaps - it will be their neck in the notch.

"The world has no money, and the Emperor has no clothes."

You decide."

1. And the media has neither conscience, nor regard for the public...or the truth.
Just their corporate masters.

5. You read my mind.
It sets up a nice narrative for the uber rich to start cutting our throats even more because of "a lack of money".

7. Seriously. I like implication that we are powerless, like money
is some kind of scarce natural resource that comes out of the ground. "Sorry, nothing we can do. No more money in the world." This absolves our leaders of responsibility for the economic disasters they create. Very convenient for them.

11. I am reminded of an analogue I read somewhere:
It's like saying you can't make a pie because you have run out of ounces.

13. Well, We Can Start by Slashing the $600 Billion Annual Defense Budget
Where is it written that we have to spend $600 billion annually on defense for perpetuity? We could cut that number back to $200 billion annually, and we'd be just fine.
