Lenin remarked that a central bank is eighty percent of the necessary ingredient to have a communist state. The FED has allowed us to make decisions based on a manipulated future. An economy is made up of people and no one can accurately predict what people will do. So the idea that highly educated, well connected (spell all that, crooked) men have the genius to run the financial systems of the world is not only illogical but in plain language, stupid. But this is the clap-trap taught in our schools and we wonder why no one can balance a checkbook let alone think it’s necessary. We’ve become a deceived population following a deceived bunch of arrogant fools and then we wonder why we’re falling in the ditch. We all hope that Donald Trump can stall the obvious collapse of our system. We all benefit from the success of these wizards at the FED. So yes, let’s keep it going as long as possible. We’ll be dead before we have to explain it to our grandchildren. My mother qualified for food stamps and other subsidies of this well intentioned government. But she refused because in her words, “my grandchildren would have to pay for it”. She lived through the depression. She knew what things cost. She (and my father) loved their posterity enough not to burden them with debt. It’s time we made a serious effort to take care of ourselves and even deny ourselves the things offered for “free”.
