  1. Thanks for the information Henry. But what I really want to know is where did you get this picture of Hillary, George and Nancy?

  2. yes, yes, yes…. when you’re scraping together pennies to eat and pay the rent, please remember that the money (or wealth, rather) didn’t disappear. It only changed hands.

    These economic depressions have always been nothing more than a ruse to fleece the public of whatever wealth they’ve acquired since the previous depression.

    It’s a fairly simple formula. You simply increase the money supply to create periods of economic prosperity, which also leads to increased borrowing. Our fractional reserve banking system requires that only a small percentage of the circulating money actually exists (most of it exists as debt), so when the money supply is contracted, the entire house of cards comes tumbling down, leaving the entire population in a rush to rob Peter in order to pay Paul, and all property used as loan collateral is confiscated.
