Unfortunately yes, the American people are about ready to be suckered into the idea that socialism is good. This whole economic crises is set up to blame capitalism for all of our problems, when in fact it is the interference of government that is responsible for it. The policies of Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama are the same. They turned our economy into a giant Ponzi scheme, and now we are paying the price. However, the policies of every president since Nixon have favored the Banker over the citizen of this country. It has all been designed to steal your money, and devalue the dollar.

What we are seeing now is a carefully planned depression. Take the prices of things like food and gas. These are very low. Those of us who still have jobs, can enjoy fire sale prices. But beware!

The founding fathers are rolling over in their graves because of what we have turned this country into.

The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

How appropriate, since many are waking up, with there homes foreclosed on. They are waking up homeless in the United States. All because of the banks, and their being allowed to control all facets of our monetary system. Yet this is allowed by the American people. Nobody has done anything about it. Even the politicians have been bullied into bailing out these banks, giving them even more of our money. Somehow, they will find a way to blame free market capitalism, and therefore
