While you’re waiting for the magical CHANGE pill to kick in, ponder this:
What do these four companies have in common?
Give up? They were all top donors to Barack Obama and John McCain.
This is classic banker strategy, prop up BOTH candidates, so either way— they win.
How, exactly, do they win? Well, for starters, take a look at potential candidates for Obama’s Treasury Secretary:
- Lawrence Summers, Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton and World Bank economist
- Timothy Geithner, President of New York Federal Reserve and Treasury Undersecretary under Bill Clinton
- Paul Volcker, former Federal Reserve Chairman
- Jon Corzine, former Chairman of Goldman Sachs
- Jamie Dimon, head of JPMorgan Chase and Company
So, CHANGE is going to come in the form of putting either a former Clinton official and/or a former Wall St. big wig in charge of the Treasury Department.
That CHANGE is about as refreshing as room temperature coffee that’s been sitting in my car for a week.
Think about it. Really think about. Is it in the best interest of this country to put someone even remotely tied to the Federal Reserve Banking system — comprised of private bankers who profit IMMENSELY from federal gov’t. spending — in CHARGE of federal gov’t. spending?!
For now though, while people are still in their Barack the Vote dream land, he’s pretending like he gives a damn about what YOU THE PEOPLE think, and is asking for ideas to “help us solve the biggest challenges facing our country.”
If this post pisses you off (it should!), I strongly urge you to head over to the website and tell him what you think.
What did I suggest to him?
I told the President-Elect that if he really wants to fix this jacked up economy, instead of incessantly TREATING THE SYMPTOMS with complicated tax breaks and stimulus packages, he needs to CURE THE DISEASE by using the bully pulpit of the office of the President to urge Congress to abolish the Federal Reserve System.
Congressman Ron Paul has already introduced the legislation necessary to do so, the paperwork is already done. Ending the Fed and returning to a Constitutional sound monetary system where our currency isn’t printed and regulated by a private bank would do WONDERS for our economy, and it’s what the founding fathers had always intended.
I have many friends who voted for this guy. I hope anyone who truly adores and trusts Mr. Obama to bring forth this utopian Yes We Can! world will give him a real loyalty test and demand real changes, not recycled chunks of status quo.
