I had this discussion with my wife the other night about how bad this has been with manipulation and down right ripping off the american people...she is an attorney and said to me what can I do about it? I work 80 hours a week, I have a family, and finding time to exercise...she's right the average person who works and has other things to take care of for a basic good family like has no time to say or do anything to stop this crap...washington and fall street know this and dont care...so the game will go on till? I don't have the answer.. :angry:

Actually everyone in Washington and Fall Street are also working 80 hrs a week, if not more. I don't think anyone is actually sitting down and making plans to screw the American people, instead, what you are seeing about these borrowing and spending cycles is the culmination of a 50-60 yrs process since the WW2 with ever increasing magnitude. You need to abolish the Fed and the fractional banking system to be able to stop these cycles. The problem is systematic, not because there are some malicious people in power, imho...
