newswithviews.com — Virtually our entire financial system is based on an illusion. We spend more than we earn, we consume more than we produce, we borrow more than we save, and we cling to the fantasy that this can go on forever. The glue that holds this crumbling scheme together is a fiat currency created out of thin air known as the Federal Reserve Note.

If I squint, I can see how this might have turned out differently. Home loans made available to many more Americans, business loans also. Connectivity opening new markets to not only large corporations, but small business. It seems like it could have been the beginning of a new system, one sought after for generations. But instead, the bizzaro world version took over. Where Bizzaro World free markets include deception, fraud, manipulation and greed instead of foresight, balance and oversight. I say they forced this version of 'free market' on us, they should pay the penalty outlined in the program.

Wow, Baldwin's really thinking; it's refreshing in a politician. What he says makes total sense, at last.

Makes perfect sense Mr. Hope. "Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost." -- John Quincy Adams , 6th President

The reason why these stories are getting buried are because those who don't agree with them don't have an actual counter-argument, so they ignore and bury the topic instead.
