-> 
-> RW>  SHort term:  YOu sell products, keep your workers producing,
-> RW>  keep paychecks being cut, folks are happy, they have jobs.
-> RW>  YOu artificially prop up the house of cards, for a little
-> RW>  while.
-> JF>  
-> JF>  Seems the banks are the HOC, all they offer is paper money 
-> JF>  and  more debt.  The people are the one's who produce/possess 
-> JF>  tangible goods.
-> BUt we no longer produce much here.  Even our defense
-> industries must rely on parts made elsewhere.
-> 
-> JF>     And so on and so forth, until all the money just disappears and
-> JF> we are back to borrowing money that won't get paid back for
-> JF> generations,  if ever at all.  At that point, when all the money is
-> JF> in a few piggy  banks, they usher in a socialist/communist state,
-> JF> just like what we  are witnessing today.  We are going through the
-> JF> same thing Argentina  went through at the turn of the last century. 
-> JF> Before long they  nationalized everything, one step at a time. 
-> JF> Argentina used to be  a thriving and producing country, but by the
-> JF> time Juan Peron was  finished, that country was in debt up to its
-> JF> ears, and all of it's  industry pulled up steaks and left the
-> JF> country.  But hey...keep your  eyes on the Obama carrot.  He's for
-> JF> 'change'.  And he wasn't lying.  
-> 
-> DOn't think it's all the Obama administration that has
-> pushed us, or will push for that.  AFter all, breaking the
-> once mightiest economy on the face of the earth, and the
-> bastion of free thought is a pretty big coup for the
-> extremely rich.  Bringing the United States to its knees is
-> quite good for despots of all stripes.  The bankers and
-> other monied entities will be
-> able to do what armies could not.  Big brother's panopticon
-> state will supervise your whole life from cradle to grave
-> for ya.
-> 
-> with the loss of your economic security you also give up
-> most of your freedoms.  THe panopticon nanny state will make you grovel
for
-> food; housing; adequate clothing; medical
-> care.  YOur life will be carefully supervised by faceless
-> bureaucrats.  STand in line, fill out the form, disclose
-> your innermost secrets.  Like to engage in unapproved sexual practices? 
sOrry,
-> no perks for you.  WAnt your kids to read certain books?  Better not let
them
-> discuss them at school.
-> DOn't like to watch the latest mindless drivel pushed at you on the
tube? 
-> Better turn it on anyway and pretend to be
-> interested.  THe panopticon nanny state will be making sure
-> you conform like good little sheeple, after all, getting
-> that next piece of white bread will depend on it.
-> 
Holy cow! Is there a level of Hell even lower to the one you depict? When
we praise prior civilizations, what do we praise the most?
