We all agree that none of us want to die any earlier than we have to. We don't want to get sick, but we do want to have a productive livelihood and support our families. This is what Texas has been doing. Let's save lives while saving livelihoods, as Buffet said, "Never bet against America". Hopefully our country will be better and stronger for it, in spite of all the debt that has been taken on. The politicians can't help being politicians. The stimulus program gave a raise to everyone in congress and bailouts galore. Just for once couldn't we stay focused and just do the right thing. Congress is truly a criminal underclass. They don't always or usually have our best interest at heart. |

The largest financial fraud in history wasn’t Enron’s colossal accounting crimes, Bernie Madoff’s record-setting Ponzi scheme or the Libor scandal, in which some of the world’s biggest banks conspired to profit by manipulating interest rates. No, the largest financial fraud in history is one most Americans know little to nothing about. It isn’t mentioned by politicians, reported on the nightly news or discussed by coworkers during lunch break. The biggest fraud in history is a financial scheme perpetrated by the U.S. government and its banking accomplices. Over the last century, they’ve used coercion, deception and market manipulation to convince Americans the U.S. dollar is as good as gold and silver. The truth is, it’s not. |
