It seems that there might be more to this.

A free market will never heal its self as long as the government continues to intervene. However, Congress and the Senate mandated that loans be made by the banks in rural, ethnic, and under served areas. Like it or not, the Federal government, by being involved in something it is not supposed to be, has made its Citizens liable for part of the reparations. It doesn’t matter that the banks got more than a little too carried away and acted irresponsibly. Taxpayers are on the hook.

We now have to be part of the solution, but the solution should be developed from the point of view of the taxpayers that the government is supposed to protect. Maybe the solution is to let the banks go under, take this opportunity to disband the Fed, start printing Treasury notes, and tell the banks that it’s in their best interest like they are telling us the bailout is in our best interest.

Make sure that you hold your Congress members, Senators, and President responsible this election.

What makes you think we had a “long and depressing year”?

This has been a great year for the Liberty Movement in America. If the sheeple get butchered by a collusion of Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and the Treasurery…well, then, we told you so!

Goodbye American Dream! Hello roadkill for breakfast. Thanks for selling us out Congress. (Shoulda listened to Ron Paul.)

WE, the majority of the people do not want a wall street bail out. Washington does not listen. Why Not?

What is going on here?

but the Austrian economists have been predicting this further back than that. Look up the Austrian Theory of the Business Cycle and you too can predict the future.
