You haven no idea how the real world works anymore. Your simplistic ideas about payments and whatnot has evaporated. Things dont work like that anymore.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

It's reagans fault, it's bushs fault, it's clintons fault, it's bushs fault , it's going to be clintons fault....... Anyone notice a cycle???

The last president to enact real authority was jfk when he threatens to limit the bankers power so they could not enslave the world in unfair money creating policies.

What happened to him shortly after?

It's not the presidents as everyone after JFK has not truly embraces the position and cowered to bankers wants and needs.

Who has oversight of this federal reserve that's got every citizen held hostage over faked debt?

Debt is the result of the President and Congress spending more than they take in.  It has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the Federal Reserve.

A poor candidate (who don't take the corporate money) will never compete with a rich candidate for President. Not in our "democracy" in the TV and media era. And the people who think you could do it just on the internet are spending way too much time on the internet.

      The National Debt has seemed hopeless to me since the 70's particularly with the interest payments involved. But we just keep adding more zeros on the end of the number and it has gone on for another generation, but it can't go on forever. We do have enough ICBMs to blow up the world 500-1000 times , but we wont use them because we aren't Islamic millennial extremists. At some point, under pressure, we are going to have to tell the Chinese, OK you bought us, come in and run half the country. They don't want to destroy us because they own us, and they paid fair and square. The people whose biggest fear is a world government, need to realize we sold our country to the world. while we were spending half our GNP being the world's policeman, which never seemed to have the economic benefits we were promised.

No, money is not debt.  The fractional reserve system allows money to be created as debt, but that money is taken back out of existence when the debt is paid off.

Once again, it might be restored IF people lose confidence in the system.  Do you really believe we are going to have tax surpluses and start paying down the debt?  This isn't the 1950's anymore.

Orange Drufus thinks Hillary literally poured bleach on her email server.

"“...33,000 emails that she deleted. They’re gone. And not only deleted folks, she bleached. Which somebody said they had never even heard of. In a very expensive fashion, [she] used chemicals so nobody will ever be able to see ‘em. Who does this?”

The program to delete them is named BleachBit.  What a moron.

The guy who wrote that it is not only a conspiracy nut, but he knows NOTHING about what he's talking about.  Here are a few examples:


Claim #1.  The Federal Reserve is a cartel designed to eliminate competition in banking and thereby generate huge profits for its members.

Fact #1:  All profits of the Fed go back to the US Treasury, except a nominal fee for member banks.  Look up just how much the Chairman of the Federal Reserve makes each year and his/her net worth.


Claim #2.  Banks make huge profits from the Federal Reserve because if the Fed loans money to the Government, that money is now available for people to deposit into banks, which then collect more interest on it.

Fact #2:  It means EVERYONE has more money; only some of it gets deposited into banks while most of it gets spent on the economy.


Claim #3.  By creating new money, existing money is diluted and the Government is making out while everyone else loses ("Inflation is a tax").

Fact #3.  This is true, except everyone knows there is a ~3% inflation rate per year (on average) and people know to invest or save accordingly.  Most people get a cost of living adjustment each year to their salary to adjust for this, so they're not losing money (unless they stash money in their couch).


Claim #4.  Inflation allowed Governments to collect an extra 40% - 80% tax without the people knowing it.

Inflation in the US is only about 3% a year (the 40% - 80% is probably a cumulative number), and everyone knows about it.


Claim #5.  The Fed allows banks to charge interest on "money" that doesn't even exist.

This allows businesses to borrow more money at lower interest rates, which helps businesses and the economy.

I never said that.  I said the money that is created through debt gets retired when the debt is paid back.  The Fed does create new money each year at a rate that keeps inflation stable around 3% per year.

That works fine until it ends up like we have today, the Fed can't force banks to extend credit.
