Billions for the Bankers, Debts for the People

Contains sporadic Bible quotes and trots out the "America is a Christian nation! This is because we did not follow God's law!" thing, but the overview of banking/lenders' control over the economy and why debt on everyone's parts (but specifically the nation as a whole) is constantly increasing is edifying.

That is too funny!! I love it! Have you ever read The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit of Capitalism??

No.. "funny"? Did you just mean the Christian messages? I think the overall concepts are pretty accurate...

Yeah, the Christian messages are funny. I don't think the guy got all his facts right, or he just didn't write enough to accurately describe things such as the cause of the great depression. I think if he put more time into explaining how economics in general works I could take it more seriously. So much of it is heated opinion (that I don't necessarily share) that it just doesn't make much sense to me. If it was less emotional I might be able to read it and agree or disagree with him, but as it is to me it sounds like a lot of ranting and raving.

Money, and specifically the current US "money/economy" is - really really broken.

I've known this for years.
it makes me sad.
