Another issue is still that global market interconnectedness is "real"...
There isn't going to be any unique impact here, that isn't one that is felt elsewhere. It is not like our situation is that unique... as if banks in Europe or Asia don't have the same issues with derivative risks, or real estate bubbles of their own... and the same exact issues with the bankers practice of fraud on the people.
But, we've surrendered more of what we had that was good than others have... to get there... reducing ourselves to what they've always tolerated.
We're better than that... and, we are different than other nations people are... and we will demand more than others will, not in $ terms... but, no fraud, and real fair play ?
I think there is going to be a reckoning...
The bankers will be forced to quit enabling bank fraud... or bankers here will be drawn and quartered in the street... before they are able to succeed in taking down the United States.
Or, after...
That's just what my read of history and the character of the people here requires my opinion to be.
They've pissed away four years, already, in which they've done nothing but try to further advance their own interests... while ignoring the problems, hoping they'll go away, either thinking they're still "undetected" in the effort, that people will continue to not get it, or not care ? Or, they think that they've solidified control well enough to not have to care what people think ?
It is colossal scale ignorance...
