Michael,
that was an excellent find. While it is partisan in scope, it tells the truth of what happened in our financial system. Our federal government was limited in its scope and power by the Constitution of the United States, but since FDR it has taken more and more power and control. Much of that has been engineered by the courts, but a lot of it has also been done through regulations put out by the buerocracies put in place by FDR and then added to by later administrations. It is the old camel getting it's nose in the tent all over again. I don't know if we can stop it now or not. Jerry |

Political persuasions notwithstanding, we're always like this in an election year. Always have been. Politics in the US is a blood sport. Each side proclaims that certain doom awaits if the other gets elected, and there is much scrambling, scratching, and clawing that occurs, and many Machiavellian machinations. Believe it or not, this one's actually not so bad...
It's gotten a bit worse since the campaigns have begun stretching out for a year or more. I have to commend the Canadians on their brief and more-or-less civilized national elections campaign--you'd almost not know there was anything going on up north. Might actually be refreshing if ours were the same way, but we'd probably miss the catharsis. Best, George |

I wish these idiots were up for re-election yearly.

Might be fun, but I wonder whether we'd get anything else done. ;) Best, George |

Michael can fill us in perhaps but I heard that the French have proposed some kind of fix and the Germans said no. Nothing new here....... 8-) It's harder to get something like this done in Europe but I wonder if it's too easy here....
