Nick we are in a depression now. It's just that with things like welfare, unemployment insurance, and food stamps it's not as obvious. Robber-baron capitalism is here and now. When you have bankers who sit on a central board of a central bank that can print money at will and call it the US dollar, you can buy lots of things. At least Ron Paul is the only one pointing that problem out. I might add the Democrats are just as guilty. 100 times leverage was made legal by Bill Clinton which opened the door to the derivatives abuse.
Obama is as much of a corporate fascist as Bush was. He just sells socialism because that is what most you Democrats want but what he has really done is given more power to the corporations. He works for General Electric and Goldman Sachs, and BP. He let BP run the whole show during that spill. If there is any socialism with Obama its socialism for the rich.
The politicians will rally the economy in 2012 because they all want to get re-elected. Then in 2013 it will drop back into reality. Sure they can do short-term stimulus.
But yes, the world financial system is in trouble because it was allowed to get out of touch with reality due to deregulation.Last edited by Nitro Express; 01-17-2012, 11:16 PM.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

I think the only one not bought off by the corporations is Ron Paul. That's why they ignore him and the Republican propaganda station here tells everyone not to vote for him because Mitt Romney is the only one that can beat Obama.
It's not really about regulation anymore. It's corporations buying most the politicians to where the government becomes their enforcer. The EPA bars small electric car manufactures from getting their approval to sell cars. Small farmers are harassed and ran out of business by the FDA. All the agencies have their own military like thugs now. So it's corporate fascism and regulation was a thing we talked about in the past.
All the Republicans talk about is beating Obama. They don't say much about how they really are going to fix things. Remember real capitalism is owning your own property, producing a good and service and selling it to someone in exchange for something. The corporations have actually destroyed capitalism by taking over the government and using what used to be legitimate regulatory agencies and using them as thugs to run the competition out of business.
The whole Democrat and Republican thing is a thing of the past really. Both parties no longer care about the average person all they care about is the corporations who of course are tied to the central banks. In other words, they can print their own bailout but they have to saddle the citizens with some of it to make it look legitimate. It's the end result of fractional reserve banking. You can do endless damage with it.
Like I said, the only politician running that seems to really get the problem is Ron Paul. Nothing changes as long as the corporations are in charge of the money making machine.
The United States is not a government. It's governments. It no longer unified and all these different pieces are doing their own thing. As long as you can move huge amounts of money under the table this is the situation so you have to have the money supply itself in the open. So really we have a fictional money system that most people still believe in. I mean you still can trade Federal Reserve notes at the store. It's the ignorance of the little people actually that is the problem. They enable the same system that is screwing them. I mean with people that stupid of course the wolves are going to have a heyday and until the little people wake up, it's business as usual on steroids and of course the wolves will try to take more because the theft has been so easy.
Face it. People don't take notice until it affects them personally. I think more people need to be ran over by the greed train and then you have the problem of someone riding in on a white horse to save the day which usually is Hitler or Napoleon. History just repeating itself basically.
The biggest mistake Democrats make is they actually still think the government is a government of the people. So they willingly give more power to the government which is now the corporations so they actually make what they are trying to fight stronger by just giving it more power over themselves. This is the biggest flaw of the current Democratic mindset.
Of course the Republicans will vote in their flavor of thug because they want the Democrat thug gone.
See it's the same beer but it's marketed differently under two different brand names. The parties are no deeper than that anymore. They are just brand names owned by the same corporate conglomerate. Politics itself has gone corporate.Last edited by Nitro Express; 01-18-2012, 12:45 AM.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

The corporations don't have to buy him. His Randtard Libertarian Fairy Tale agenda would destroy all regulations and they would be free to do whatever the fuck they wanted.
The only corporations who hate Ron Paul are "defense" contractors (because there would be no more wars of imperialism) and maybe the pharmaceutical companies, because he would end the war on a harmless plant which renders many of their over priced toxic chemicals useless. But by abolishing the FDA, they would make up their profit margin in record time, so they would be fine with him in the long run.Eat Us And Smile

I hate to break it to you Ford but the corporations already own the federal regulatory agencies. It's already happened. The US Forrest Service is arming itself and closing roads. There has been showdowns between local sheriffs and the Bureau of Land Management over their armed thugs harassing ranchers. The horse you are worrying about has left the barn already my friend. That can all be fixed but first we might just have to get rid of these agencies and start over. The biggest problem are the derivatives and the banking system. That's the jugular vein to the corrupt corporations which hold so much derivative debt they have to get backdoor money from Ben Bernanke and saddle the tax payer to get going. Bank of America, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup are so far in the hole they should just dissapear and Ron Paul's strategy will do them in.
You want to slap these guys on the hand and Ron Paul knows how to take their heads off. So of course they are going to have their propaganda machine sell him as a nut.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment
