The Shelby’s of the world will have to answer to their non-union employees when their wages get cut so the Toyota’s, etc can keep their cost advantage over the Big 3. Can anyone tell me how a blue collar worker making $28/hour is a crime against the economy? The only explanation is less for you more for me. So much for productivity. Eventually there will be no difference between us and the old Soviet Union, the ruling class and the proletariat, the super rich and the ex-union members (+everyone else not in the upper5%)

They want us out of their countries and our immoral influences out of their countries.

Bush, erstwhile compassionate conservative, will have to step in with a bailout and a final kibosh on the Republicans. The Shelbys, McConnells, Corkers and Vitters can drop dead.

At long last, Bush will repudiate his own party. If he doesn’t step in, the Chinese will do it, and they will do it immediately. It is the Chinese who cannot afford to lose any more money. Their bonds and notes will be worthless! Just what they deserve for screwing with the world credit markets two and a half months ago.

If the US gets a cold, they get pneumonia - but if WE get pneumonia, they will absolutely die.

The FED is a private institution. They bamboozled us into providing them with the apparent authority to print our “money” by bribing a couple “representatives” to vote for it while most of their peers were home for the holidays. The US (we the people) have the capability to print our own “money,” without creating the burden of interest upon ourselves. The FED benefits the more we the people go into debt to this private institution masquerading as an arm of our government. Goldman Sachs is installed at Treasury for Christ sakes!

Congress has within its power, the legal authority to abolish the Federal Reserve any time it chooses. Since all of the “representatives” in Congress were placed there by the banksters who own the Central Bank(s), it’s just not every going to happen.

They are taking the system down on purpose. The Central Bank will never collapse, unless we the people demand that it be abolished and/or simply refuse to cooperate…or else.

Trying to read this? As a contest between the two political parties? It doesn’t work out. As a contest between regions? No, not really. Between rich and poor? We don’t know who’s rich any more. The secure and the insecure? But no one feels secure….

I read it as a scramble of hostage-taking, where every vote (every decision) by each and every player is an act of self-defense. A strange game, where the hostage-taker becomes a hostage to the hostages taken: you cannot destroy Lehman Brothers (or Detroit, or the smaller banks) without becoming their hostage in turn (having to pay a price for their destruction that you can’t afford).

Taken to its logical conclusion, this scramble can only lead to the collapse of the Central Bank (yes, yes, the point’s been made many times, but it’s easily forgotten, because it’s unimaginable). Which is why Obama’s determination to embark us upon a really huge infrastructural makeover has to get going right away: it does something that the Defense Budget managed to do throughout the Cold War–maintaining WW II levels of industrial production–but creates a new domestic product that really creates something of use-value.

Markets around the world have tanked.

What time today will Bush ride to the rescue with TARP money to (temporarily) save GM?

If you were a globalist/insider, you could make a killing, because you’d have known this entire charade days in advance, and made money in both directions.

INSIDER TRADING. Just another standard feature of the Plutocrats holier-than-thou agenda.

This failed bailout vote in the Senate could all be a Rovian set-up designed specifically to save the image of his client, GW Bush. If Rove instructs the GOP to take a strong stand against the bridge loan in the Senate, with the promise that the President will in fact come to the rescue (as though it were his money) with funding from the TARP to accomplish the same goal, Bush gets a big ”attaboy!” from his detractors and a bump in the popularity polls.

Would Rove intentionally manipulate the system to that extent just to put some lipstick on that pig?

Does the Pope wear a funny hat?

busting unions is still okay… busting a banking cartel called ‘the fed’ that answers to no one is not a remote consideration.. how could these same politicians see the need for removing a plague they are temporarily supported by?
