What is happening is business is lobbying the govt. to regulate its competition which in turn creates monopolies. Big business is regulating small business through our govt. When a business does become big enough to compete against a monopoly, they are either bought by the bigger company or merged with the bigger company. the reason why the market is distorted is because the competition among business is distorted.

Roosevelt finally "Primed the pump" fully in 1938, when monopolies were begging him to stop spending to create demand to save small business. There hasnt been a depression since. Long live Keyens saving the middleclass. We are assuming that John maynard keyens economic ideals went into effect right away after the Great crash of 1929.

Having been a redneck in a counterculture hippie environment in Mendocino, CA i learned that humility and being outspoken is a strength. You completely failed in that respect :( The free market will weed you out once time passes you by.Balance man. It's ok to argue but you have to balance. Personally I blame a lot of our parents for not kicking our ass. But thats just me. Its also my fault for being lazy. But I got semi-lucky in terms of philosophy. As in i want kids in gloves cleaning out spiders in my barn.Numbers aside, I often wonder what, and I do argue with my father that idolizes hunter s. thompson. :) Wow.

You seem to post articles by our government and the Fed. Those are neutral documents, lol. You probably work for the government, a large bank, mortgage company, or Wall Street.I agree with one of your points. People who took out bad mortgages should not receive any taxpayer money. Banks and Wall Street firms should also not receive a dime. Let these people and companies fail. They made very bad choices and they should fail. Competent banks and firms will take their place. The new companies will create needed jobs and the market can function on it's own. Never let governement including secret bankers of the Fed intervene in the free market. Otherwise, it's not a free market genius. How can a few people at the fed determine what a billion people are going to do. Let the market determine interest rates which will prevent these bad cycles. Real tangible items are the only real wealth. Fiat money is paper, paper, paper, paper, paper, paper, paper. Your using paper to pay for items of real worth (house, labor). If you used a tangible commodity as a currency, the economy would be far more stable. I guess you haven't learned much from history. People have warned for hundreds of years about central banking and the monolopy of the Fed which is controlled by major stockholders of the few major banks. We need to learn from history.I also saw your article about FDR. Corrupt people can cause a commodity to lose some of it's value. I still would rather have someone decrease the value of an item that will always have real wealth then paper I can wipe my ass with. The dollar has no real value now and it's about to collapse. Your beloved Fed has caused the depreciation of the dollar. I'll take my chance with Gold anyday and we can have this talk in 5 years. You do realize that the Fed prints up money. It only costs them about 3 cents to print a 100 dollar bill. They lend that to govt and other banks with interest. That is a disgrace. They are making $97.97 for that one hundred dollar bill and they didn't even have to use $100 of their own money. Wow, if you like the system, how about you give me $100 plus $5 interest and I'll give you 3 cents in exchange. Are you ready to embrace your system, I have my 3 cents for you. Now, picture the billions they are printing and the amount of money they are making.They need to line up the Fed, Bankers, Wall Street employees and have a execution. The world would be a better place.This is from someone who saw the Depression of the 30's. It was a horrible time. This was way before your Mom sat on your Dad's cum at the last second barely forming you as a fetus. The sad thing is that it was created by the Fed. They intentionally created a false panic to destroy small banks which created the Depression. The small banks failed, the Fed took over property, and the bankers of the Fed had more control and more money. FDR tried spending his way out of the Depression. This didn't solve anything just leaving us with more debt. Obama is already on the same path. Wow, Matt. You seem to post articles by our government and the Fed. Those are neutral documents, lol.

I asked a Chinese person why they keep buying our debt and she explained they will always do it because they are so risk averse. "But don't they understand we are inflating our currency and that investment is going to lose money?", I asked. She replied that they do understand that but also understand that everyone else is doing the same thing, but to a much larger extent. The dollar is losing less than other currencies. It also helps that they know that the more debt they buy, the more we will buy their crappy exports at Wal-mart. I see a lot of fear that China will “wise up” and stop buying our debt.
